On the 18th instant, Mr.. Pakenham called at the
department, and delivered me a note, of which
transmit you copy, renewing his proposition to
bitrate, but changing the terms. This note has
not vet been answered This delay has been occa-
stoned, not by any doubt to the propriety of
jecting the proposition, but from desire, before
preparing my answer, to ascertain the impression
which had been made on the British ministry and
people by the Presidents message and the accom-
panying correspondence. ] had anticipated a visit

Mr.. Pakenham's last proposition to arbitrate is
liable TO the same objection which was prominently
presented in my answer to the first II ia true
that he now proposes to refer to arbitration "the
question Of title in either Of the two powers to
the. whole territory;' but yet, annexed to this
offer, there is a condition "that if neither
should be found, in the opinion of the arsi-
traitor, to possess complete title to the whole
territory,r then he shall divide it between them
tive claims of each" II the government of the
United Stntcs should consent to an arbitration upon
such terms, this would be construed into intima-
ton, in not direct invitation, to the arbitrator to
divide the territory between the parties. Were il
possible for this government, under any circum'
stances, to refer the question to arbitration the IL
tie, and the title alone, detached from every Other
consideration, ought to be the only question submit

have another compromising award like that of the

Britain it would be distant possession, OF compar

SIR. have the honor to acknowledge the receipt
Of your dispatches to No. "a, inclusive
The Senate having unanimously, as am inform
ed confirmed your appointment as envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary Of the United
States of America at the court of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, now
transmit to you your commission in that character.
You were correct in supposing that the British
government would again offer to refer the Oregon
question to some friendly power On Saturday last
Mr.. Pakenham delivered me a communication ma
king offer to refer this question, of which trans
nit you a copy. You will not fail to observe that
he does not propose reference OF the title TO the
whole question, [erritory,] but merely the subject
of ian equitable division" Of it between the parties.
Ii is strange that such proposition should have
been submitted by the British government in the
face of the Presidents claim to the whole territory,
after it had been recently enforced in the most
solemn manner by my letter of the 30th Of August
last, withdrawing our proposition for compromise
by the 49th parallel of latitude. To accept the prop
osition under such circumstances, would be for the
President to admit that he had committed an error
in asserting the American title to the whole terrific
ry, and to acknowledge, in the very submission OF
the question the arbitrator, that Great Britain had
a right to a portion of it, and that his functions
should be confined to an Equitable division" Of i,
between the parties In this respect, the present
proposition is unlike the former offer Of the British
government, which was general proposition to ar
brate. II no other reason existed for declining the
proposition this would be deemed sufficient by the
President. You may therefore consider it certain
that it will be rejected. presume that the British
government could not have anticipated differen,
result; and from my conversation upon the subject
with Mr. Pakenham on Saturday last, he will doubt
less undeceive them, if they had any expectation
that his offer would be accepted. ,,,
