The labors of Mr.. McIane have elected

To his Excelency Louis McLane, Minis

SIR: The American Chamber of
Commerce of Liverpool desiSc to express
to YOU the high sense which they enter
tain ofthe value and importance Of the
eXertionS which you have recently made
for maintaining friendly relations between
Great Britain and the United States. The
merchants of Liverpool have read with
great pleasure aud heartily concur ia the
opinion which Lord Aberdeen, IN his
place IN Parliament, expressed of the SER
vices which you have rendered to your
own country aud TO ours. Although the
consciousness of having labored to pro-
mote the welfare of mankind is in itself a
great reward, II cannot fail to afford you
additional pleasure to learn that those who
have anXlously watched the progress OF
negotiations, now happily terminated,
have duly appreciated the patience, 0bilI-
ty and temper by which your conduct has
been distinguished. Whilst vou have
carefully maintained the honor Of the Uni
ted States, you have largely contributed
to save both nations from the horrors OF
war. The highest renown belongs to
such luborS, and their true value will not
be measured by the successful termina-
ton OF &c Oregon question alone.
The example which has been set by
the statesmen Of two great nations thus
settling by discussion aud IN spirit OF
moderation aud justice, disputes Of long
standing, and from peculiar clrcumstanc-
cs, of the gravesl political Importance, Is

high esteem, and our best wishes for your
continued health and happiness.

lions to which you refer, beg you TO be
assured that am not the less grateful for
your appreciation ofmy conduct To no
one can the result which has so happily
crowned these negotiations give greater
than il has done TO me. never
doubted that | could not render a more
patriotic service tony own country, or one
more acceptable or of greater Importance
60 the world at large, than by contributing
any assistance IN my power towards the
preservation Of peace, upon honorable
terms, between two kindred nations, whose
prosperity | believe TO be intimately
with each other.
If Il be not a reproach, have always

peace 81 two such nations, with so many
motives Co encourage aud so few 60 disturb

by CAUSES which, wheR suhIec-

honorable dealing, would Immediately
