The Washington Whig mentions a report that Mr. Crampton, the British Minister pro. tem., has submitted, by order of his government, to Mr. Buchanan, an intimation that, in the event of an absorption of the territory of Mexico by the U. States, Great Britain will look to the United States for the reimbursement of the debt due by the present Mexican government to the subjects of the United Kingdom. And also, that the intimation goes even further—that, if the war with Mexico shall end in any serious dismemberment of Mexican territory, this government will be called upon by Great Britain to make good the English Mexican debt in proportion to the value of the territory dismembered.
We give the above as an item of current news, but we do not believe that any such intimation has been given.
