Mr.. Buchanan. Chsirmsn Of the Com
Ditiee on Foreign Relsiions. ssked to be
discharged from the eoasidsrAiioa Of .
Resolution calling on the Executive Tor
. correspondence in relation 20 the North
Eastern Boundary. The reason for this
request was. first. the present state Of the
Begoeiaiions with this Government and
England. The vexed question was in
progress OF settlement, add the publicA-
ton would do evil OF At least would do no
good. II would be III timed 81 least. 10
Great Britain desired in good fAith TO
settle the controversy between the two
Governments nov was the time.
Mr.. BUehaDan having expressed the
opinion Of the Committee on Foreign Re-
latious. arose 10 express bis own ia re-
ference 70 matters q issue between this
CoantFy and Great Britain. The rumour
which bad been sHoat in reference 70 an
exciting correspondence in regard 10 the
Caroline. betUseD the Secretary Of State
and the British Minister, were ell false
and not 70 be credited in the least. Mr..
Buchanan alluded 70 the Tumor published
in the New York Herald, which had ere
aied some inquiry here. Mr.. B. said, in
conclusion. that there was no cause OF
probability Of War With England.
Mr. Clay Of KY, e member Of the
Committee on Forsiga Rslaiions) said
few Words also in references to the ques-
ton at issue between the Uniied States
and Great Britain. The most difficult
question was the North Eastern Boands-
~. aud that was in q tFaiE Of settlement
BY survey aHd srbitration. Ia regard TO
the case Of the Caroline, satisfactory an
sSsT had not yet been received. In the
case Of heLsod. be tho1ght the Secreia-
~ Of State should hare written to the
Governor OF New York requesting fair
trial OF Mcleod, not that he doubled that
New York would do justiee, but that il
might be important 10 express en- opinion
N regard to the prisoner. 10 reference to
the captures on The coast Of Africa, he
thought Great Britain woold explain that
matter satisfactorily. This country never
could and never would recognize the
right Of search. and il was the great cause
Of the late war.
AT. Clay also begged leave 10 say, ra-
