Hammond to Under-Secretary of State

With reference to my letter of the 8th instant, I am directed
by the Earl of Clarendon to transmit to you, for the information
of Earl Granville a copy of a despatch from Her Majesty's
 Minister at Washington, inclosing a copy of the Memorial
presented to the American Senate praying that they would not
consent to the question of the water Boundary of British
Columbia being submitted to arbitration.
