The debate on Mr. Allen, resolution call
ing for the instructions given TO our Minis.

resolution, yeas IL, nays 81.
Mr. Archer, chairman of the commine.
of Foreign Affairs, stated, Officially, for The
information Of the Senate, that there had
been no negotiation as vet on the subiec, Of
the Oregon boundary; that instructions had
been given as the basis of a negotiation br
this government that the British Govern.
ment preferred TO treat here: that
the negotiation was transferred 10 Washing
ton city aud that Minister specially
charged with the adjustment of the matter
would be here and commence the nepotla.
ton in few weeks. This seemed to give
great satisfaction to the Senate. The pas.
sage ofthe resolution was opposed on several
grounds. 1t would be necessary because
there had been no negotiation, and the only
effect of it would be TO promugaie our in.
sirucitons to the great detriment of our in.
terests that it would appear, under the cir.
cumstances, 10 be designed to thwaH The
bytaking it ont of the Presidents
hands or interfering in bis conduct of it; Z
and, finally, that it was a matter for consider.
alton in Executive session, if it were con
sidcred at all.

power of the Senate in regard 10 negola-
lions.
Mr.. Allen said the government would
never allow any more land on this continent

licted great war with England during the
lext generation, &c.
