the publication of the Official Correspondence
between Mr.. Pakenham on the one hand and Messrs.
Calhoun and Buchanan on the other will exer, an
influence on European opinion very favorable to the
claim of the United States to the better part of Ore
gon He states that this opinion mainly that OF
France. we presume.> has been prejudiced against
us by the work of M de Nofras, OF which we have
hitherto spoken who, having spent eighteen nonlns
in Oregon, mainly, we infer N the society OF Inc
British Hudson's Bay Co. officers returned TO Paris
end published work declaring the claim OF the T..
States to Oregon preposterous-as he honestly but
mos, unadvisedly believed it. His work has been

that is not through our fault that the Boundary re-
mains unsettled.
