to the governor which at the date of the last advice.
WOO iu coarse of circulation in Vic:oris, Vancouver's
Island. Private letters state that it would probably
be signed by font•fiftbs of the inhabttantr, a strong
feeling being exhibited against the arrogant beha-
vior,: of the Americans, who had already offered to
sell town sites on the disputed island. A private
letter says:—" I was over there on the 30th July.

San Juan, for it is the key to British Columbia, and
commands the channel to our northern settlements."
