The President has received information, from a variety of sources, which he cannot disregard, that Great Britain Is now making extensive warike preparations. As her rela- lions with all the powers of Europe seem at present to be of ! peaceful character, the pre- yaiIing and natural inference here IS that these preparations look to q rupture with the Uni led States on the Oregon question. It is of vast importance that this government should, as early as possible, ascertain their true char aeier. You are therefore instructed 10 enl- brace the first opportunity of bringing this subject to the notice of the Earl of Aberdeen, la such a manner as you may deem most ex- pedieut Tbe presi,frrt IS also anxious to lea.n your own opinion upon this subject with the least practicable delay. am, &c.,
