From the Pacific Advocate.

By the kindness of Mr.. Brown, of the
firm Of W. @. Griswold & Co.; we have
been furnished the loan Of the Report Of
the Third Auditor Of the Treasury upon
the Oregon War Debt. 1t is an octave
pamphlet Of l32 pages, containing more
unfair, exparte, unjust and Injurious posi-
tions than we can remember to have before
read in equal space. 1t is the old rehash
Of Gen. Wool rs. Oregon, in which any
quantity Of general statements and rumors
is given, without sufficient deGniteness as
to persons, times aud places, to enable. one
to set them aside With few excebtIons,
the military officers appealed to (and they
are numerous) feebly re-echo the evidently
bitter and malignant ISLANDERS and rumors
Of Gen. Wool. Lieut.. L. j. Haryie is an

far less than now. We repel, for our coun-
try, the unjust aud injurious conclusions of
the Third Auditor We placed the report
in the hands Of gentleman entirely famil-

his comments upon it, They are given in
