Oregon.--The following is a copy of the
Presidents message transmitting to the
House copies of the treaty recently formed
with England in relation to Oregon:
To the Senate and House Of Representatives,
ofMe United States:
communicate herewith copy Of a con.
vention for the settlement and adiuS,men,
OF the Oregon question, which was concIu
