the Colonies, if he will lay upon the Table of the House, a Copy
of such Letters, Correspondence, and Enclosures from Governor
Douglas (at one time supposed to have the full title of

Coast of North America) or his Secretaries, and from the
Secretary to the British Commission on the Water Boundary
question, as were received by the Colonial Secretaries, warning
Her Majesty's Government of the apparent intentions of General
Harney, or the United States Forces, to invade a part or parts
of Her Majesty's dominions on the coast of the Pacific, before

And, why a question, of a similar nature yesterday, addressed to
the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, upon Colonial
affairs, should be answered by the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, as he the Under Secretary of State for the
Colonies then stated.
