REGENT'S PARK, with a portion of the beautiful and extensive Ground., destined for the erection of minor Villas, quite out of view of the Lodge. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by THE NOBLE POPRIETOR TO SELL, by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 20th of August, at Twelve o'clock. The Splendid MANSION, has long been a distinguishing feature of the Regent's Park. It is known as HANOVER LODGE and it may be affirmcd, without fearing that any one can gainsay it, throughout this splendid Park there is nothing that can altogether surpass it. In a limited sphere it really appears a miracle how so much has been achieved. IT IS THE RUS IN URBE for it possesses everything that those who would rusticate in the country, or join in THE SPLENDID SOIREES OF • THE GAY METROPOLIS OF LONDON can desire. In a little demesne, extending to FOUR ACRES, will be found lots of hill and dale, and wood and water, grounds un dulating everywhere ; the rich plantations extending to THE REGENT'S CANAL and ORNAMENTAL BRIDGE and WATERS ; and it must not be forgotten that THIS PETITE ELYSIUM, is within half an hour's drive of the Palace, the Theatres, and both the Houses of Legislature. In fact the ensemble may safely challenge a comparison anywhere and everywhere. The accommodation within this delightful retreat is precisely such as a family of pretens;ons would desire ; observing there may be found within an opportunity for an ingenious lady, and one of taste, to cause a little outlay in ornamental decoration which may benefit the interior. The principal rooms are decorated throughout with acknowledged taste. For a grand soiree they are without a rival, the banquetting room Is of capital proportions, and the bed-chamber department quite complete. THE ORANGERY AND CONSERVATORY adorn one side of the Mansion, and with the greenhouse on the verdant lawn, and the American plants, and the flowering shrubs, a scene is exhibited of surpassing beauty and effect. THE OFFICES ARE ALL CAPITAL and entirely shut out of view. A five-stall stable, two coach-houses, harness-room, with buildings adapted for a dairy, and many other such luxuries. THE ESTATE IS HELD OF THE CROWN, and demised under most favourable circumstances for those whose fancy may incline them to indulge a little more in embellishment and alteration; the term to be sold exceeds seventy-four years—the ground-rent apagatelle of 34/. a year. It can only be seen by tickets from eleven till six, and particulars had of William Robinson, Esq., solicitor, Lancaster; Messrs. Roy, Blunt, and Johnston, sol icitors, Lothbury ; the Auction Mart, and In Covent-garden. MILITARY FLOGGING AT HOUNSLOW.

THE RE-SALE OF THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE, INICONSEQUENCE OF TEE PURCHASER, THE REV. LAW RENCE GWYNNE, OF TEIGNMOUTH, HAVING FAILED TO PAY THE REQUIRED DEPOSIT. THE SALE WILL BE PEREMPTORY. THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY IS THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE. WITH ICS NEVER-ENDING DELIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF GAME, AND SPORT OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND "THOUGH LAST, NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY, PRESENTING BY FAR THE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONAS TERY THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL ARISING 'FROM' THIS FINE PROPERTY, IN. CLUDING THE VALUE OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON LEASE FOR LIVES. IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on Dumper, the 3d of September, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trustees for absolute sale, and in consequence of the Rev. Lawrence Gwynne having failed to pay the deposit, THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENT THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he approaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and deeply read community Is to be found in the liberty the composer will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be a bold man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the herculean task must be approached. THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and they have ever since maintained their proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND, It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey— An old, old monastry once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and rare Mix'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in the Tudor style, and may be dated about the time of Henry VIII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the com poser, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it is indeed THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory; his mind on the instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and religious state--one of absolute wonder—mixed up with bound less admiration ; it WAS a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the ass'stance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by a judgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of as. It is on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5% hours from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' rif eof Exeter. The county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks in the selection of their lands was never questioned, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy of their judgment. In selecting the best of everything, even THE FAT OF THE LAND was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is an freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with Ornamental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the soft undulating foliage of its magnificent and TIME-HONOURED TREES is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent, and imparting Just such an air of tempered wild ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care anti cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the ornamental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded— Before the mansion lay a lucid lake, Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way did take In currents through the calmer waters spread. THE RIVER AXE, so renowned by the disciples of Isaak Walton for its piscatory plea sures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may still be asked, "WHAT MORE CAN MORTALS NOW DESIRE ?" The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemphite ; by the way, THE MONKS' CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation. And to omit a pangyric upon THE ANCIENT' TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS THE STATE ROOMS would approach sacrilege. It really and truly may be accounted the WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival ; and the writer is exceedingly desirous that the reader should not for one moment charge this description with being too vivid. Ile may rest assured here is no flight of fancy, but a veritable and unassuming report. This descrip tion, it is perceived, has already extended beyond the limits pre• scribed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very im perfect recital, merely observing that the terms used by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fathers her manor of Thorncombe, in exchange for the barren lands of Brightley, stating it to be " well wooded and fertile," arc trebly appropriate in the present day, in proof whereof it may be stated that the Messrs. Fowler, of Grainge Farm (the principal estate), bred a horn ewe in 1533, which weighed lSst. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without one guinea of arrear ; indeed the latter word could not find a place in their vocabulary. The rent is exceedingly low. The demesne ex tends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS, MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND TAXES MODERATE. Such is a faithful narrative, that it needs not to be observed is very uncommon; indeed, seeing the abundance of unemployed capital (in spite of the railway mania), and the little value of money, the present is a most influential opportunity of possessing an invest ment in land which is preferable to all others—for, as it regards the alteration in the corn-laws, it has been observed by Mr. Robins, in another notice of sale, a fact which every day renders more and more certain, that " WE HAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT." There are MANORIAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of cons!derable extent, and the principal part of the estate is within a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are aneongst those who prefer to domesticate in this ad mired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the adjoining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl Poulett and Lord Bridport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault. The full descrinti*m, with plans and a drawing of the fames Abbey, are ready, and may be had at the White Lion Inn, Bristol ; White Hart, Bath ; Castle, Taunton ; Chard Arms Hotel, Chard ; Mr It?, ; Mr l'atl!. solicitor, The Close, Exeter; ,Salter, solicitor, Chard; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London, at Two Shillings each, (this being with the sole view to prevent a useless and =pro- Lula cligtributiou 9( the dill particular.)

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times. except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and ftrture race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfhlly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment .of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection; as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

The poverty of their parents is g reat, yet they do not think of eking out the family m eal by the scanty earn i ngs of the child withdrawn from the lessons of the teacher, to work, In the increased sobriety, forethought, and self-respect which education inspires, they find abundant recompense for the temporary privations which the expense of that educa tion, slight as it is, imposes. With its population of 2,200,000, little more than that of London and its suburbs, Switzerland has thirteen large and efficient normal schools, in which the future schoolmaster receives not only an intellectual but a partially industrial training. England, with its population of sixteen millions, has only six normal or schoolmasters' schools which deserve the name. In Switzerland, then, where each canton has its own internal government, we see a great and efficient scheme of education at work. Here the formal instruction of the school is succeeded by the practical training of industrial or agricultural life. There is no antagonism between the two. Except in the Catholic can tons, where the Jesuits limit all speculation of a religious kind, opinion and action are free in Switzerland. The edu ,.9tirm b^arg its fruits. It has been in operation only sire , 1832 ; but in the younger part of the population, who alon, have enjoyed the benefits of it, its results are perceptible in their increased sobriety, industry; and forethought,—,Douglas Amelia FrocAly the two most important articles in the Convention; as its terms have been incorrectly stated in several respectable journals in this country; as our Washington correspondent furnished us more than a month ago with a complete synopsis of the treaty and correspondence; as the Senate has given its assent to the contract, and as the ratification by the British Government is now probably on its way across the Atlantic—under all these circumstances, and considering the anxiety of the public to see the official facts, we have determined to lay all the papers that were submitted to the Senate before our readers. "In communicating this proposition, Mr. M'Lane says ex pressly that 'the proposition as now submitted haS not re ceived my countenance. g • I have, therefore, felt it my duty to discourage the expectation that it would be accepted by the President, or if submitted to the Senate, approved by that body.' "He says, further, that in his opinion, the offer now made is not to be considered as an ultimatum, and is not intended as such.' " The free navigation of the Columbia, it will be seen, is unlimited by any express terms in the treaty, and equally so by any fair interpretation, as it strikes us on a hasty glance, of the language used.

I sub mit this proposal to the consideration of the Senate, and re quest their advice as to the action which, in their judgment, it may be proper to take in reference to it. " In the early periods of the Government, the opinion and advice of the Senate were often taken in advance upon im portant questions of our foreign policy. General Washington repeatedly consulted the Senate, and asked their previous ad vice, to which he always conformed his action. This prac tice, though rarely resorted to in later times, was, in my judgment, eminently wise, and may on occasions of great im portance, be properly revived. " The Senate are a branch of the treaty-making power, and by consulting them in advance of his own action, upon important measures of foreign policy which may ultimately come before them for consideration, the President secures harmony of action between that body and himself. The Senate are moreover a branch of the war-making power, and it may be eminently proper for the Executive to take the opinion and advice of that body in advance upon any great question which may involve in its decision the issue of peace or war. On the present occasion the magnitude of the subject would induce me, under any circumstances, to desire the previous advice of the Senate, and that desire is increased by the recent debates and proceedings in Congress, which render it, in my judgment, not only respectful to the Senate, but necessary and proper, if not indispensable, to in sure harmonious action between that body and the Execu tive. In conferring on the Executive the authority to give the notice for the abrogation of the Convention of 1827, the Senate acted publicly so large a part, that the decision on the proposal now made by the British Government, without a definite knowledge of the views of that body in reference to it, might render the question still more complicated and difficult of adjustment. For these reasons I invite the con sideration of the Senate to the proposal of the British Go vernment for the settlement of the Oregon question, and ask their advice on the subject. " My opinions and my action on the Oregon question were fully made known to Congress in my annual message of the 2d of December last, and the opinions therein expressed re main unchanged. " Should the Senate, by the constitutional majority re quired for the ratification of treaties, advise the acceptance of this proposition, or advise it with such modifications as they may upon full deliberation deem proper, I shall con form my action to their advice. Should the Senate, however, decline by such constitutional majority to give such advice, or to express an opinion on the subject, I shall consider it my duty to reject the offer. " I also communicate herewith an extract from a dispatch of the Secretary of State to the Minister of the United States at London, under the date of the 28t1; of April last, directing him, in accordance with the joint resolutions of Congress, concerning the Oregon territory,' to deliver the notice to the British Government for the abrogation of the Convention of August 6, 1827; and also a copy of the notice transmitted to him for that purpose, together with extracts from a dispatch of that Minister to the Secretary Of State, bearing date the 18th of May last. " Washington, June 10, 1846. "JAMES K. POLK." " PROTOCOL. " A conference was held at the Department of State on the 6th of June, 1846, between the Hon. James Buchanan, Secretary of State, the American Plenipotentiary, and the Right Hon. Richard Pakenham, the British Plenipotentiary, when the negotiation respecting the Oregon territory was resumed. The British Plenipotentiary made a verbal expla nation of the motives which had induced her Majesty's Government to instruct him to make another proposition to the Government of the United States for the solution of these long-existing difficulties. The Secretary of State ex pressed his satisfaction with the friendly motives which had animated the British Government in this endeavour. " Whereupon the British Plenipotentiary submitted to the Secretary of State the draft of a convention (marked A), setting forth the terms which he had been instructQd to pro pose to the Government of the United States for the settle ment of the Oregon question. " JAMES BUCHANAN, "RICHARD PAKENHAM." [Here follows the draught of the Convention, which is in the precise words of the treaty below given.] "31n. 13150111:1NAN TO MIL M‘LANE.-(EXTRACIII.) "Department of State, Washington, April 28. " I herewith transmit a notice for the abrogation of the Convention of August 6, 1827, between Great Britain and the United States, in accordance with the terms prescribed in its second article. This paper you will deliver to her Britannic Majesty in person, or to her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, after you shall have ascertained which of these modes of presenting it will be most in accordance with her Majesty's wishes. A duplicate of the same is transmitted, to be placed on tile ire the archives of your legation. "As the abrogation of this Convention is an act of an im portant and solemn character, the delivery of the notice ought to be attested with all due formality. The mode is left entirely to your own discretion; but I would suggest that it might be made the subject of a protocol in triplicate; one copy of which should remain with the British Government, another with the Legation in London, and the third be trans mitted to this department. " In the remarks whichyou may have occasion to make on the delivery of the notice, the language of the preamble to the joint resolution concerning the Oregon territory' must necessarily be your guide. . Congress have spoken their will upon the subject, in their joint resolution, and to this it is his (the President's) and your duty to conform." "TO 'ER MAIESTY, VICTORIA, QUEEN OF THE UNITED Exnrcnom OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, &C. " Whereas, the Congress:of the United States have adopted a " joint resolution concerning the Oregon territory,' of which the following is a copy : "Whereas by the convention concluded the 20th day of October, 1818, between the United States of America and the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,. for the period of 10 years, and afterwards indefinitely extended and continued in force by another con vention of the same parties concluded the 6th day of August, in the year of our Lord 1827, it was agreed that any country that may he claimed by either party on the north-west coast of America westward of the Stony or Rocky Mountains, now commonly called the Oregon territory, should, together with its harbours, bays, and creeks, and the navigation of all rivers within the same, be ' free and open' to the vessels, citizens, and subjects of the two powers, but without preju dice to any claim which either of the parties might have to any part of the said country; and with this further provision in the second article of the said convention of the 6th of August, 1827, that either party might abrogate and annul said convention, on giving due notice of 12 months to the other contracting party. "And whereas it has now become desirable that the re spective claims of the United States and Great Britain should be definitely settled, and that said territory may no longer than need be remain subject to the evil consequences of the divided allegiance of its American and British population, nd of the confusion and conflict of national jurisdiction , dangerous to the cherished peace and good understanding of the two countries. " With a view, therefore, that steps be taken for the abro gation of the said convention of the 6th of August, 1827, in the mode prescribed in its second article, and that the atten tion of the Government of both countries may be the more earnestly directed to the adoption of all proper measures for a speedy and amicable adjustment of the differences and dis putes in regard to the said territory : "‘ Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, that the President of the United States be, and he is hereby authorised, at his discretion, to give to the Government of Great Britain the notice required by the second article of the said convention of the 6th of August, 1827, for the abroga tion of the same.' _ _ " Now, therefore, after a careful consideration of the pre mises, I, James K.

" By the President, " JAMES K. POLK. " James Buchanan, Secretary of State." :41 4 LANE TO MR. 131:Cii.i.NAN.-(EXTRACTS.) London, May 18, 1846. I received late in the day, on the 15th instant (Friday), your dispatch numbered 27, dated the 28th of April, 1816, transmitting a notice for the abrogation of the Convention of the 6th of August, 1827, between the United States and Great Britain, in accordance with the terms prescribed in the sec , nd article, instructing me to deliver the notice to her Britannic Majesty in person, or to he r M a j es t y ' s P r i nc ipal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as will he most agree , Able to her AlAjesty'a Tabsbe s , and At the same tip) lesYwg the mode of the delivery of the notice entirely at my own discretion. I will of course execute your in3tructions at the earliest practicable moment. As, howeuer, 1" could only ascertain her Majesty's wishes, which I am directed to consult, through the Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, sufficient time has not yet been afforded for that purpose; and in the midst of the preparation of my dis patches for the steamer to-morrow, and of my engage ments at the Foreign-office, connected with one of the topics of this letter, it has not been in my power to give to a subject of so much importance that deliberation which I am sensible a proper exercise of the discre tion confided to me requires. To-morrow, however. I propose to seek an interview with Lord Aberdeen for this purpose, and without loss of time fineilly to execute your instructions in the mode that may be deemed most effectual. I may add, that although it is altogether probable that the presentation of the notice to her Majesty in person will not be admissible, and that where a treaty may be annulled upon notice by one party, the mode of delivering the notice need not be dependent upon the anent of the other; yet, in the present instance, I do not apprehend there will be any diffi culty in giving and receiving the notice in a mode mutually satisfactory and in conformity with usage in such cases. I have now to acquaint you that after the receipt of your dispatches on the 15th instant by the Caledonia, I had a lengthy conference with Lord Aberdeen, on which occasion the resumption of the negotiation for an amicable settlement of the Oregon question, and the nature of the proposition he contemplated submitting, for that purpose, formed the sub ject of a full and free conversation. I have now to state that instructions will be transmitted to Mr. Pakenham by the steamer of to-morrow, to submit a new and further pro position on the part of this Government fora partition of the territory in dispute. The proposition, most probably, will offer substantially 1. To divide the territory by the extension of the line ou the parallel of 49 to the sea; that is to say, to the arm of the sea called Birch's-bay, thence by the Canal de Arro and Sada' of Fuca to the ocean ; and con6rming to theZultea States, what indeed they would possess without any special confirmation, the right freely to use and navigate the strait throughout its extent. 2. To secure to the British subjects occupying lands, forts, and stations, anywhere in the region north of the Columbia and south of the 49th parallel, a perpetual title to all their lands and stations of which they may be In actual occu pation ; liable, however, is all respects, as I understand, to the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United States, as citizens of the United States. Similar privileges will be offered to be extended to citizens of the United States who may have settlements north of the 49th parallel; though I presume it is pretty well understood that there are no set tlements upon which this nominal mutuality could ope rate. I have no means of accurately ascertaining the ex tent of the present _ British settlements between the Co lumbia and the 49th parallel. They are not believed by Lord Aberdeen to be numerous, however—consisting, as he supposes, of a few private farms and two or three forts and stationt. I have already, in a previous dispatch, taken the liberty to remind you that by their charter the Hudson's Bay Company are prohibited from acquiring title to lands, and that the occupations to be effected by this reservation have been made, either by the squatters of the company or by the Puget's Sound Land Company, for the purpose of evading the prohibition of the Hudson's Bay charter.—They are, in point of fact, also, according to Captain Wilkes's account, cultivated and used chiefly by the persons employed in the service of the former company, and as auxiliary to their general business of hunting and trapping, rather than with a view, as it has been generally supposed, of colonising or of permanent settlement. Lastly. The proposition will demand for the Hudson's Bay Company the right of freely navigating the Columbia river. It will, however, as I understand, disclaim the idea of sovereignty, or of the right of exercising any jurisdiction or police whatever, on the part of the Government, or of the Company, and will contemplate only the right of navigating the river upon the same footing, and according to the same regulations, as may be applied to the citizens of the United States. I have already acquainted you that Lord Aberdeen has very positively and explicitly declined to treat of the t e h S a t.t even Lawrence ifitw i e n r e c o d n e n s i e r a x o l n o t w o i t u h s t t h o a p t r o o f p t o h s o e c n a o v l u i g t n a b t o a n ; o a f n t d h to offer one for the other, he would on no account enter into any negotiation in regard to the St. Lawrence. I have seen no cause to change the opi nion, that in any attempt to divide the Oregon territory, the obligation felt by this Government to protect the rights of their subjects, which may have been acquired or grown up during the joint occupation, would most probably interpose the greatest difficulty in the way of an amicable adjustment. And it is now obvious that the proposed reservation of the right to the Hudson's Bay Company of freely navigating the Columbia, and that in favour of the British occupants north of the river, proceed from this source; although it is proba ble that more or less pride may be felt at giving up now, without what they may deem an adequate equivalent, what has been hitherto tendered by our negotiators. In fact, except in the surrender to the United States of the title of the lands not occupied by British subjects between the Columbia and the 49th parallel, and also the surrender of the jurisdiction over the river and the country within the same limits, I am afraid it may, with some plausibility, be contended that there is no material difference between the present proposition and that offered to Mr. Gallatin by Messrs. Addington and Huskisson, the British negotia tors, in 1827. It is scarcely necessary for me to state that the proposi• tion, as now submitted, has not received my countenance. • • . . . . I have therefore felt it my duty to discourage the expectation that it would be accepted by the President, or, if submitted to that body, approved by the Senate. r Ido not think there can be much doubt, however, that an impression has been produced here that the Senate would ac cept the proposition now offered, at least without any mate rial modification, and that the President would not take the responsibility of rejecting it without consulting the Senate. If there be any reasonable ground to entertain such an im pression, however erroneous, an offer less objectionable, in the first instance at least, could hardly be expected. It may be considered certain, also, in my opinion, that the offer now to be made is not to be submitted as an ulti matum, and is not intended as such, though I have reason to know ➢lr. Pakenham will not be authorised to accept or reject any modification that may be proposed on our part; but that he will, in such case, be instructed to refer the mo dification to his Government. It is not to be disguised, since the President's annual mes sage, and the public discussion that has subsequently taken place in the Senate, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to conduct the negotiation in its future stages, without refer ence to the opinion of senators, or free from speculation as to any degree of control they may exercise over the result. Wliaterer, therefore, might be prudent and regular in the ordinary course of things, I think it is of the utmost import ance, upon the present occasion, if the President should think proper to propose any modification of the offer to be made by Mr. Pakenhatn, that the modification should be understood as possessing the concurrence of the co-ordinate branch of the treaty power. It is not ass to conjecture with any certainty the extent to which this Government might be induced to modify the proposition, even if they should be assured that the Senate, no less than the President, demanded it. It must not escape observation that during the preceding Administra tion of our Government, the extension of the line on the 49th parallel to the Straits of Fuca, as now proposed by Lord Aberdeen, was actually suggested by my immediate predecessor as one he thought his Government might ac cept; and that, in regard to those English subjects who would be left within American jurisdiction by adopting that boundary, he considered the provisions of the second article of Jay's Treaty as a precedent for a convenient mode of deal ing with them. By the second article of Jay's Treaty, however, British subjects would not only be secured in the absolute title of all their lands and effects, as fully as by Lord Aberdeen's proposition, but would be allowed the option to continue as British subjects, and without any allegiance to the Govern ment of the United States, which, according to Lord Aber deen's offer, as I understand it, they would not possess. In point of fact, therefore, the substantial points of the present offer, and those which may be expected to be regarded as most objectionable, are little snore than the embodiment of the various offers and suggestions which at different times have, in some form or other, proceeded from our own nego tiations. I have myself always believed, if the extension of the line of boundary on the 49th parallel by the Straits of Fuca to the sea would be acceptable to our Government., that the demand of a right freely to navigate the Columbia river could be comprised upon a point of time by conceding it for such a period as might be necessary fur the trade of the Had son's Bay Company, north and south of the 49th parallel. Entertaining great confidence in that opinion, and deeming it only reasonable, I confess that, from an early period, I have used every argument and persuasion in my power to re concile Lord Aberdeen to such a limitation ; and although I am quite aware that, with a portion of the British public, an importance it by no means deserves is attached to the navi gation of the Columbia river, and that in others it is nude servedly regarded as a point of pride, I have been disap pointed by the pertinacity with whi c h it h as b een, at so much risk, insisted upon. Feeling very sure, however, that the present offer is n o t ma d e or i nten d e d as an ultimatum, I think it only reasonable to infer an expectation on the part of those who are offering it, not only that modifications may be suggested, but that they may be reasonably required. And, therefore, I still entertain the opinion that, although from a variety of causes—in part, perhaps, from an expectation that in the United States this point may not be absolutely insisted upon, and part from deference to interests and impressions at home—they could not be induced in the first instance to make an offer with such a qualification ; yet, if the adjust ment of the question should be found to depend upon this point only, they would yield the demand to thepeTanent na vigation of the river, and be content to accept it for such a number of years as would afford all the substantial advantages of those interests they have particularly in view that could be reasonably desired. ifthe only question upon which the adjust ment of the Oregon question depended should be whether the navigation of the Columbia river should be granted for a pe riod sufficient to serve all the purposes of British subjects within the disputed territory, T. whether the right should be extended indefinitely to a particular class of British subjects, I must believe that no English statesman in the f ace o f Li s denial of a similar privilege to American citizens in regard to the St. Lawrence, would take the hazard, upon this point alone, of disturbing the peace of the world. Indeed, if the same Alinistry from whom the present offer proceeds should con tinue masters of their own proposition by remaining in office until the qualification :I am adverting to would have to be dealt with, I should feel entire confidence in the belief I have now expressed. I regret to say, however, that I have not the least expecta tion that a less reservation, if proposed in favour of the occupants of land between the Columbia and the 49th parallel, would be assented to. I may repeat my conviction, founded upon all the discussions in which I have been engaged here, that in making partition of the Oregon terri tory the protection of those interests which have grown up during the joint occupation is regarded as an indispensable obligation on the score of honour, and as one im possible to be neglected. I am quite sure that it was at one time in contemplation to insist upon the free na vigation of the Columbia river for British subjects and Bri tish commerce generally, and that it has been ultimately confined to the Hudson's Company after great resistance, and in the end most reluctantly. Being so confined, how ever, it would be only reaso na bl e t o li m it the empl o y men t o f the right to a period beyond which the company might have no great object to use the river for the purposes of trade. But the interests of the British subjects who have settled upon and are cccupy ing lands north of the 49th degree are considered as permanent, and entitled, when passing under a LIOIVjUriaCti9D, t 9 have their possession secured. This, at It may not be amiss, before leaving this subje c t, t o ca l/ your attention to the position of the present Mi n i stry. T he success of their measures respecting the proposed commercial relaxations is quite certain, and the Corn Bill, having now finally passed the house of Commons, may be expected at no remote day to pass the Lords by a majority no less decisive.. From that time, however, the tie which has hitherto kept the Whig party in support of Sir Robert Peel, will be dis solved ; and the determination of the protectionist party, who suppose themselves to have been betrayed, to drive him from office, has lost none of its vigour or power. Indeed, it is confidently reported, in quarters entitled to great respect, that they have even offered to the leader of the 'Whig party to select his own time, and that when he is ready they will be no less prepared to force Ministers to resign. I have rea son:to know that at present Ministers themselves believe a change to be inevitable, and are considering only the mode and the time in which it will most likely happen. It will not be long after the saccess of the measures for the repeal of the corn-law bofere opportunities enough for the accomplishment of this object-will occur. The Factory Bill, replating the hours of labour, will afford one, and most probably that on vhich the change, sooner or later, must be unavoidable, and that: the offer has been made to the probable head of a new Minis:qy to select his own time, may it not be expected that, instead of Waiting quietly to allow the Whig leader to select the time of a i ming in, the present Minister will rather select his own time ud mode of going out, and with his usual sagac ity, so regulate retire ment as to leave as few obstacle s as p oss ibl e t o hi s 4-esthra` tion to power ? In th a t case it i s not very unlikely he \ would prefer going out upon the Factory Bill, before taking gr0." 61 upon more important measures—and if so, it will not am"' prise me to witness the coming in of a new Ministry at tha' end of June, or earlier. Witha knowledge of the propositions now to be made, I am not prepared to say that one more ob jectionable might have been apprehended from a Whig Ministry, unless, indeed, the present Government may be supposed to be prepared to accept the qualifications, when proposed by the President, which it was unwilling at first to offer. Upon that supposition, it Wight be desirable that the modifications should be offered before the coming in of a new Minister, who, finding only the acts of his predecessors, with out a knowledge of his intentions, might not be so ready to take the responsibility of assenting to a change. TO THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. In accordance with the resolution of the Seoste of the I 2th instant, that " the President of the United States be and , hereby ad - Aw:4l to - aceept the ploposamf the Brit* Geetrlt4T" meat, accompanying his Message to the &nal:cc-dated lilth June, 1846, for a Convention to settle boundaries, he., be tween the United States and Great Britain, west of the Rocky or Stony Mountains," a Convention was concluded and signed on the 15th instant, by the Secretary of State on the part of the United States, and the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty on the part of Great Britain. This Convention I now lay before the Senate for their consideration, with a view to its ratification. Washington, June 10, 1846. JAMES K. POLE. (CONFIDENTIAL.) Convention between the United States of America and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, concluded at Washington the 15th of June, 1846. Juno 16, 1846.—Read a first time. June 17, 1846.—Read a second time, and ordered tO be printed in confidence for the use of the Senate. The United States of America and her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, deem ing it to be desirable, for the future welfare of both countries, that the state of doubt and uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed respecting the sovereignty and government of the territory on the north-west coast of America, lying westward of the Rocky or Stony Mountains, should be finally termi nated by an amicable compromise of the rights mutually as serted .by the two parties over the said territory, have re spectively named plenipotentiaries to treat and agree con cerning the terms of such settlement : that is to say, the President of the United States of America, has en his part furnished with full powers James Buchanan, Secretary of State of the United States, and her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, has on her a h m er emer o p f a r h t a e r p n Ma j t e e s d ty t 11 ,s Rmi Most tt HonHo R r i cr Privy d c P o h a t e c n i 1 1: a a m h d , Ma jesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, who after having communicated to each other their respective full powers, formed in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the following ar ticles : ARTICLE 1 From the point on the 49th parallel of north latitude, where the baundary laid down in existing treaties and con ventions between Great Britain and the United States termi nates, the line of boundary between the territories of her Britannic:Majesty and those of the United States shall be continued westward along the 49th parallel of north latitude to the middle of the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver's Island, and thence southerly through the middle of the said channel, and of Fuca's Straits, to the Pacific ocean; provided, however, that the navigation of the said channel and straits, south of the 49th parallel of north latitude, remain free and open to both parties. ARTICLE 2. From the point at which the 49th parallel of north latitude shall be found to intersect the great northern branch of the Columbia river, the navigation of the said branch shall be free and open to the Hudson's Bay Company, and to all Bri tish subjects trading with the same, to the point where the said branch meets the main stream of the Columbia, and thence down the said main stream to the ocean, with free access into and through the said river or rivers, it being un derstood that all the usual portages along the line thus de scribed shall in like manner be free and open. In navigating the said river or rivers, British subjects with their goods and produce shall be treated on the same footing as citizens of the United States, it being, however, always understood that nothing in this article shall be construed as preventing, or intended to prevent, the Government of the United States from making any regulations respecting the navigation of the said river or rivers, not inconsistent with the present treaty. ARTICLE 3. In the future appropriations of the territory south of the 49th parallel of north latitude, as provided in the first article of this treaty, the possessory rights of the Hudson's Bay Company, and of all British subjects who may be already in the occupation of land or other property lawfully acquired within the said territory, shall be respected. ARTICLE 4. The farms, lands, and other property of every description, belonging to the Puget's Sound Agricultural Company, on the north side of the Columbia river, shall be confined to the said company. In case, however, the situation of those farms and lands should be considered by the United States to be of public and political importance, and the United States' Government should signify a desire to obtain posses sion of the whole or any part thereof, the property so re quired shall be transferred to the said Government at a proper valuation to be agreed upon between the parties., ARTICLE 5. The present treaty shall be ratified by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof, and by her Britannic Majesty, and the rati fications shall be exchanged at London at the expiration of six months from the date hereof, or sooner if possible. In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. Done at Washington the 15th day of June, in the year of our Lord 184 G. JAMES BUCHANAN. RICHARD PAKENHAM. Attentive readers will not fail to remark what may be called the very unusual form at least in which Mr. Polk de sired to give the notice; an autograph from sovereign to so vereign ! J. K. Polk, President of the Yankee Doodles, to Victoria, Queen of the Bull family! Well might Mr. M'Lane express doubt whether such a form of communication would be "deemed admissible ;" and we ara still left in doubt whether the autograph of President Polk was presented "to her Majesty in person," instead of passing, as all preceding matters connected with the nego tiation have, through the state departments of the two countries. The invariable usage of our country has been, we believe, to deal with foreign countries through our Secretary of State and the corresponding officer of such countries, and not, as is sometimes done in Europe, directly from monarch to monarch. But the severe democracy of Mr. Polk seems to have pleased itself with the notion of addressing himself directly to his well-beloved cousin Queen Victoria, and, to obtain this gra tification, to have snatched a grace beyond the reach of our diplomatic precedents. This is no great matter, to be sure, but it looks silly. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The news of the repeal of the corn-laws is an im• portant event, and will have a sensible effect on the trade of the city. The exports of wheat, rye, corn, and flour, as well as some other articles, have been uncommonly large for this season of the year. Nor has the disposition to ship abated, but, on the contrary, within a few days the purchases of flour have increased. The action of Congress, just now, is of unusual interest. The tariff question has been discussed and finally settled. In the Senate the parties were so equally balanced that the question was settled by the casting vote of the Vice-Presi dent. The result will create a sensation throughout the country, and will be one that will materially effect the coming elections. The war with Mexico still continues, with no prospect whatever of a speedy termination. It is a fruitful source of expenditure—so much so that Government have been au thorised to issue 10,000,000 of Treasury notes, and this is considered but the beginning of the amount that will be required. The appropriations of Congress, it is believed, before the session closes, will reach 70,000,000 of dollars, a sum that will exhaust all the revenue in the treasury, and require a very large amount of loans. Money is sufficiently plentiful for all practical purposes. The banks discount freely four and six months' paper, at current rates, par. The passage of the tariff has had no effect on the markets so far. Exchange on England continues depressef o seldom reached. Sterling Bills are selling at 107* to 1071, which is much below the relative value of specie. This de pression will probably continue for some months. The tariff will not go into effect till December; orders for goods will, consequently, be suspended until that period. Importations are now very light, and for four months to come will continue to be small. Freights have been unusally good for the whole season. The shipments of cotton, flour, wheat, and rye have been unusually large, and continue. All the packets as well as transient ships have been taken up readily, and rates have been generally low, but not advanced from what they usually are at this season.

The fall trade commences in a few weeks.
