The note of the undersigned proposed to the

territory should be referred to the arbitration of
some friendly sovereign or state.
In his answer, the Secretary of State informed
the undersigned that his proposition could not be
accepted. That it did not propnse to refer to ar
biiraIion the question of the title to The Oregon
territory claimed by the Two powers respectively.
That in proposing to refer to friendly sovereign
or state merely the partition or equitable division
Of the territory between the parties, ii assumes
the fact that the Tide of Great Britain to portion
OF the territory is valid and thus takes for grant

which cOul d be taken. and the best calculated tn

readiness Of the British government to incur the
risk OF great sacrifice for the preservation of

The undersigned has submit,td this note to The
President, who, after having bestowed upon it
that respectful consideration emineniy due to
any proposition emanaiing from the British gov
vernment. has instructed him To give ii the fol-
lowing answer.
The British government do not propose 10 re-
Ter To arbitration the question of the title To the
Oregon Territory, claimed by the two powers re-
SpecUvely. II is a proposition 10 refer 10 friend
ly Sovereign State, merely the partition or
- equitable division of that territory between
the parties 1t assumes the fact that the title of
Great Britain To a portion OF the territory is va
lid. and thus takes for granted the very question
in dispute.
Under this proposition, the very terms of the
submission would cnnain an express ackunwl-
edgenent of the right of Great Brlain To por-
ti"n of the territory, and would necessarily pre-
clude the United States from claiming The whole
before the arbitrator. This, too in the face of
the note of the undersigned Ia Mr. Packenham
of the 30ih August last, by which the President
had asserted. in The most solemn form the title
of The United States to the whole territory =
Even II there were not other conclusive reasons
for declining the proposition. this alone would be
deemed sufficient by The President.

the day following, sought an interview with
Lord Aberdeen, In order that, in conformity with
your instructions, might bring to his notice the
waIiike preparations making by Great Britain
ana, u possible, ascertain their real character and
object.
II Will not escape you that upon such subiec,
II is not always easy To obtain very categorical an
swers, or entirely definite official information :.
and did moi doubt that frank personal confer
ence was the best, if not The only mode, of OBJ
tanning any satisfactory information " baieyer
In Introducing the subject, adveTted at the
same time to The information the President had
received from variety of sources, of the ex
tenslye watlike preparations making by Great
Britain, and the natural inference upoD his part
that IN the present pacific state of the relations
OF Great Britain with all the powers of Europe,
they could only look TO rupture with the Uni
ted States on the Oregon question.
Lord Aberdeen said very PROMPTLY and frankly
thatit would be improper 10 DISGUISE mai Win
the sncerest desire to avoid it, they were oblioed
To look to the possibility of a rupture with the
United States; and that in such crisis The war
IKE preparations now making would be useful

very positively and distinctly, that they had no
direct reference to such rupture and wouId
have been made in the same way, and to the same
extent. without regard to the relations of Great
Britain and the United States.
He also adverled 10 The fact that snch prenora
lions as were actually making had been con,menc-
ed beiure the relations bew cen the limited Sistss
and Great Britain had becDme as serious az tbev
now appeared to be, and therefore could not a,
that time have had any connexion with difficul.
ties which had since grown out Of the Oreuon
question be thought. too, That the representa-
lions as TO the extent Of the preparations musl
have been exaggerated. He denied tl,at thev re-
lated particularly, as + bad been informed. to
distant service or That they were makinr any
addition to the old form of marine. He stated
that the most extensive and formidable paris of
their preparations were the Qualifications or the

against invasion from the United States and fo
