HIGHLY MpoRrANT.-We leam from our private
and confidential correspondent at Washington.
who has the best means OF knowing, that few days
since Sir George Simpson, the Governor of the
Hudson Bay Cemqany, was her aad had several
interesting conversations with Mr.. Pakenham, the
British Minister, relative to the forthcoming mes
sage OF Mr.. Polk, and the position of the American
government on the Oregon question. The result OF
the interviews between the two British functiona-
rles was that visit was made by Mr. Pakenham
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and other men,
bers Of the American government. What was the
precise nature of the conversation that ensued be-
tween the British Minister and the government eur
correspondent does not profess to know; but he
learned that Sir George Simpson departed, and is
now in New York, highly elated with the belief
that the position which Mr. Polk intends to assume
on the Oregon question in his message, is highly
favorable to the maintenance Of peace between the
two countries, and to an agreeable termination of
this difficult question. Governor Simpson will pro-
baby remain in New York up to the sailing Of the
next steamer from Boston, the agents of the COM
pany being Messrs Maitland, Kennedy u Co. 1t
is the general belief among the British embassy
here, that Mr.. Polk will moderate his views on the
Oregon question, and such probably will be the ru-
NOR in New York.


Our correspondent however, still declares that
they will find they mistaken to the character
OF the message and that notwithstanding the cour-
teous manner in which the members of the govern
ment talked with Mr.. Pakenham, that Mr.. Polk
will take the highest ground the question, and no
mistake. We will see.
