OCCUPATION OF THE OREGON

Debate on the consideration of bill authorizing
the occupation.oi the Oregon, ina Committee of the
Whole House, MIR. Bartlett in the Chair.
MIR. Floyd commenced by stating the rapid in.
crease of population, aud the progress of settle
ments in America, from the period when Virginia
was taken possession OF under the charter of James
1.-The settlements were conducted aud carried
on by the enterprise Of private individuals alone,
and nothing could illustrate that fact better than
their progress in Virginia. From the time Euro
peans first settled the coast of America, until
the present period, IL had been estimated, and he
believed correctly, that the population spread into
the Western country at the rate of 10 miles wear
All knew that settlers were, by the proclamation
OF the British Government, prevented from going
beyond the ridge OF the Allegheny Mountains
Louisiana, being discovered by the French, was
tardily peoped. The State oil Virginia, as he had
stated, was settled by the enterprise of private
individuals, aud tho Government Of the United
States prohibited the settlement of part of Mis-
souri,. The subject was taken up in several sue.
cessive sessions, and a report was made by Mr.
Baylies, OF Massachusetts, who was Chairman Of
the Committee 10 which il was referred Since
that time the attention of the British Parliament
has been directed to H., and the question has been
frequently agtdted-Since that report was made
enactments have passed the British Government
and he would cali the attention Of the House TO the
nature of them. IL would be rccollected thu, a
paper in reference 10 these laws was printed. and
laid OH the table in January last BY them the
British Colonial Government was authorized to
extend the laws Of Canada 10 such part Of the
Western country as was no; under the government
Of any other power BY them the King was au-
horzed 10 appoint Justices of the Peace TO organ.

1t appears that extensive preparations have been
