LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN MINISTER
AT LoNpoN.-The Hon. james Buchanan.
in declining a dinner, rendered through
VIM. Blown, Esq NJ. p, on behalf OF the
American Chamber of Commerce, says
sFor my own part. firmly believe that the
unsettled question known to exist between
Great Britain and the United States. Judged
acne according to the value Of the mate
rial interest involved are not worth six
months suspension of the trade between
the two countries. 1t is therefore greatly
to be desired that these questions should be
speedily, honorably, and finally adjusted.
and that hereafter, both nations should en-
Joy a smooth sea and a cioudless sky, fol
friendly competitor in all the pursuits cal
culated to e~nlighten and benefit the human
race. The greatest revolution, so far as
the INTEREST Of commerce and manufactu.
res are concerned, which has ever been
commenced among men, is that now arpa.
rently in successful progress in China
Should this terminate in opening a free &C
cess to that vast empire of three hundred
millions OF human beings, the United State,
and Great Britain will have a harvest pre-
sented before them which, even with al
their energy, enterprise, and r,sourc 8
they will be scarcely able to reap. Their
will a noble and generous rivalry also
spring up between them, which shall con.
tribute most efcctually to prom ote tn,
