The despatch charges Mr. Fox to assure’’ Mr. Webster “ lhai ice [the British] are prepared to proceed to the consideration of it [the s*^iilement of boundary] in a perfect spirit of fairness, and to ad just it on a basis of equitable compromise.” Mr. Webster to Mr. Fox. W^ashington, Nov. 25. 1842—reply totheabove, informing Mr. Fox that in.‘?tructions would be giv en to the United States Minister at London as re- quested. Mr.'Packt7iham to Mr. Upshur.

Washington, 22d July, 1844—stating that the death of Mr. Upshur, the interval lill'the appoint- nient of his successor and the urgency of matters claiming Mr. Calhoun’s attention, had prevented attention to the Oregon question. He now calls at tention to his note to Mr.. Upshur above mentioned, and suggests that as Congress had adjourned, it i.'» d proper lime to procecd to the C(»sideralion of this question. - J>r/.

M. the following day for an interview, assuring Mr. P. also that the U. States Government participair«Jn the anxious de sire of that of Great Britain that the subject may be as early and as satisfactorily arranged.” Mr. Packenham to ^Calhoun. Washington, 22d August, 1844—agreeing to the hour proposed for an interviiew. Protocols. On the 23d August, 1844, a conference was held as agreed upon, and after the us|ial preliminary as surances, &c., “ the Plenlpolenlpries proceeded to examine the actual state of theiQucstion as it stood at the last unsuccessful attempt Id adjust it," Mr. C., then desired to receive from P. any pro position he might have to make. Mr. P. said he would be prepared to make such a proposal at the next conference, and hoped Mr. Calhoun would likewise be prepared on his part. The conference adjourned to meet Monday, 26th August. On the 26th August the conference was held and a proposition made by Mr. P., which was declined by Mr. Calhoun. It then “ became apparent that a more full understanding of th^ir respective views” was nec»:ssary “ to facilitate future proceedings,” and it was “ agreed that written statements containing their views, should be presented before any further attempt should be made to adjust them.” “ It was also agreed that the American Plenipo tentiary should present a statement at the next con ference, and that he should inform the British Pleni potentiary when he was prepared to hold it.” Attached to this proctocol is the offer of Mr. Packenham of the 49ih parallel to the Columbia, and thence to the sea. &c.. with an additional offer to make free to the United Siites, any port or ports which the United States miijht desire, either on the main land or on Van Couver’s Island, south of lati {ude 49. On the 21 Sept. the 3J Conference was held.— “ The American Plenipotentiary presented a writ ten statement of his vi-.-us of t^e claims of the U, States to the portion ot iho 'Perritory drained by the waters of the Columbia river, and containing his reasons f>r declining to accept the proposal offered by the British Pieninoleniiary at their second con ference.” Orr the 13ih September the 4ih Conference was held, when the British Plenipotentiary presented his counter statement. At the fifth Conference, on the 20ih September, the American Plenipotentiary delivered a rejoinder to ihe British Plenipotentiary to his statement above named. The sixth Conference was held on the *i4th Sept., when the British Plenipotentiary stated thai he had read with due alteration the statement last referred to; and that it had not weakened his previous impres Mr. C. then proceeds not to state u large ih** claims of the United States to the Tert ory, but the claims to the portion of the Territory drained by the Columbia river, which he divide^ “ into ihose we have in our own proper right, andtlosederived from France and Spam.” He grounci the former as against Great Britain on priority >f discovery and priority of exploration and settleiient. 1'he claim by discovery as against Great B itain is rest** ed on that of Captain Gray, a ci izen c the UniteJ States, on the 11th May, 1792, who ailed it the Columbia Riyer, which name it still r tains. 'Phis claim by discovery is opposed I r thealleJg- ed diycoveries of Meares and Van Cou er. Meares sailed along the coast through which t^e Columbi i flows, in 1788, in order to ascertain X'tielher that river laid down in the Spanish Chan as the St. Roc existed and in his account of his toy ge declared 2ve can now safely assert that is no such river as that of the St. Roc, as laid own in the Sj)anish Charts.” Van Couver also in Vpril, 178-, explored the same coast, but his own urnal gives conclusive evidence that he failed to iscover the river. He even disbelieved it, when iformed by Capt. Gray, of. his discovery. Or y gave a copy of his Chart to Quadra at No^k Sound, an 1 Vancouver obtained a copy from him, and guided by that Chart he visited and enterethe iver, on the 20th Oct. 1742. So conclusive is the evidence in fav r of Gray’s discovery of the river, lhai it has been ttempted to evade our claim on the novel and wh( y untenable ground that his discovery was maden^ in a nation al, but in a private vessel. Having presented an able argumt^t on these grounds, Mr. G. proceeds to consider ll : exploia’ion of Lewis and Clarke, by which lliii Columbia’s numerous branches were discovered nariy y«'ars before they were visited by any stibj ;t of Great Critain. 'He contends that our title b discovery is clear, both to the head^waters ar^’ atlet of the Columbia. Next he proceeds to settlement^ V* American citizens in 1809 and 1810 and 1811— their po?sesj sionaby the British during the war restoration after peace. Next hesa3’s we have added to our claims the priority or oiscuvcTy^ exploration settlement, those of France and Spain. The for Her by the treaty of Louisiana, and the letter by tie treaty of Florida. ^ He says that the cession of Louisina give us u7idisputed title west of the Mississipp ,to the sum mit of the Rocky Mountains, and p ‘sessions of Spain. It also added strength to our li i to Oregon by restoring the important link cf coil nuity west ward to the Pacifiic which had beensu rendered by the treaty of 1763. He then proceeds to make an elaborr^s argument orj the tie which continuity gives, aoJ brings for ward the contest bpt^’een Great Britqir and France which was terminated by the treaty of 1763. as having arisen on the side of Great Hr ain, on this very right of continuity fron her cok)0 s, now the United Spates, extending westward tfj le Pacific. 'Phe result of this contest he says fart» oses Great Britain against contesting the principle, »articularly as against us. He then proceeds to the consider, ion of the Treaty of 1763, which fixed the 3/i3si.-o ippi as the boundary between Frace and Great Eritain, and says “it in effect extinguishes in favor of F r.Tnce whatever claims Great Britain may li ve h.id to the region lying we.«i ofthe Missisipp? It could ♦not effect the right of Spain, but it pr-i^^nied the right of continuity previously claimed by Great Britain from extending beyond it and tr nsferrcd it to France. 'Phis right was transferred l> us by the tr«aty o*f Louisania. and says Mr. C., “tertain it is that France had the same right ofcontiftniv in vir lue of her possession of Louisana, and the extin guishment of the right of England by lh3 treaty of 1763 to the wliole cotmtry West of ne Rocky ^>/ountains, and lyirig west of Lousiaoa as against Spam, which England had to the co»* 'ry west ward of the A lleghany mountains as agii 'St F'rancc. With this difference—thal Spain had no ‘ing lo o; - pose to the claim of France at the but the right of dis:overy; and even that E ,'land Il l's since denied ; while France had oppos'd 3 the rig i t of England, in her case, that of discoff r*. expl'>'^ «- tion and settlempnt. It is therefore not surprising that France should claim t4ie country ^ • st of ih- Rocky mountains (as may be inferrer from h r maps) on the same principle that Greatl itain h.ui claimed and dispossessed her of the regiif*^ west (d Alleghany, or il»at the United States, as s on as th» v had acquired the rights ol France, shoul assert tl claim and take m^*asures immediately rft^r to » x. plore it, with a view to occupation and * t-l»’n.rnt. But since then we have 3t-engther»ed c**" l y adding to our own proper i-tle and those of Franev the claims also of Spain by ihy irejty c FkmJu, as has bet^n slated.
