did not desire to discuss the subject but merely to

THE extract which Mr.. Gushing desired to read

81 attended the debate in the House of Commons.
You can Judge of the surprise with which listened
TO the remarks of Sir Robert Peel, the alleged
fact that Lord Abe-deens letter to me of the Goth
of December lS4l, remal ned to this day 'unacknow
lodged and unanswered 1t was acknowledged by
me in note dated two days afterwards (23d De-
cember, l84l) which, however unimportant, was
transmitted to MIR. Fox by Lord Aberdeen and af-
forwards communicated to Parliament and printed.
In this note OF acknowledgment, / informed Lord
Aberdeen that should avail myself of early oppor
tunty Of making some remarks on the very important
topics treated in that letter. l pursued this course
Of an immediate acknowledgment of the re-
ceipt Of Lord Aberdeen's note with notice of
purpose Of replying in due to its atents,
because, being just arrived at my post had not re-
ceved the instructions which you had inioI med me
might soon expect on this topic, and which, as Lord
Aberdeens note modified the ground and disclaimed
the language of his predecessor, it was my duty to
await. Such instructions ] should, doubt, in due
time, have received but on the 9th of December,
Lord Aberdeen informed me that the special mission
had been determined on; that Lord Ashburton would
go to America with full power to settle every point
IN discussion mbodying what called the right OF
search, which he deemed the most difficult and
pressed the opinion that it would hardly be worth
while for us to continue the correspondence on
matters in dispute between the two countries, and
remarked though he willing TO consider and reply
to any statement might think proper to make on
any subject that pending the negotiation which
might take place at Washington, he supposed
no benefit would result from simultaneous discussion
here
"Such were Lord Aberdeen's observations, as re.
ported by in my despatch of December 3lst-
The negotiation took place. and a mode of dealing
with and settling the question was happily agreed
upon, which made il unnecessary to resume the dis
cussions so long carried on upon the subject In
fact, from the oment the special mission was an
nounced considered the discussion at an end and
little to be resumed in reference to search and
visitation, as the Boundary or the Caroline."l
