HALL OF REPRESENTATIVES,, Feb. IL, 1916.


Editors Of the Sentinel - The Courier des Etati
Unis is a newspaper, published in the city Of New
York, in the French language. 1t is extensively cir
culated among the French inhabitants of the United
States, and of Canada, and it is moreover the princ
pal source from which the inhabitants of France de-
rive their opinions and information concerning the
United States, their people, policy and rights. The
opinions to which it gives currency readily adopted
by the liberal party in France, the liberal party there
being the opposition party. 1t is understood in this
country, and in France that the King of the French
(once fugitive from his own country Hospitality re-
ceived and protected in the United States) with a
view to the throne to his family, has Of late
years assiduousy cultivated the friendship of the
English Government and people, and that in further
anc. of this object the French government medded
with our Texas affairs, promulged the balance Of
power doctrine applicable to the American conti-
nent and has interested itself in slandering
the American title to Oregon among the European
powers.


These facts being stated, the importance Of French
advocacy Of our Oregon rights will appear.


The Courier des Etats Uns is our voluntary advo-
cate upon the points in controversy between the
United States and England, in reference to Oregon
and the more influential that all It's articles are mode
rate and dignified in matter and manner.


Cn a former occasion, called your attention TO
translation from the Courier des Etats Uns in the
Union, which, if | mistake not, you transferred to
your columns, TO show people that the American
side of the Oregon controversy being ably advo-
Gated in a manner which would prepare the public
mind in Europe to do US the justice denied by its
crowned heads and their ministers. With the same
object, have procured, and now send you another
translation from the paper, in which the Ameri
can right, on the grounds assumed by Mr. Owen, is
ably advocated. If you think well of it, you may
give it place in the Sentinel.


/, this morning, received the Joint Resolutions Of
our Legislature, on the subject of Oregon. Their
spirit is temperate, firm and dgni6ed | shall be
proud to present them Gf no colleague does before
me) TO procure their publication, and also to make
them the chart by which TO shape my in action
here.


Forty runors are afioat as to propositions said to
be received from the British Minister touching the
Oregon controversy, not one Of which is probably
true. 1t is, however, extremely probable that the
unanmiy of the House in passing the resolution of
notice has, or may produce propositions, a renewal
of negotiation.


/ have the honor &c. &c.
