By the art lval of the packet-ship Patrick Henry, Captain
Delano, we have received New York papers to the Bth inst.
incluslve, being seven days later than the last intelligence.
The news is of considerable interest. The House of Repre-
sentatives had passed the Bill for the occupation of the
Oregon territory, after much discussion and some violent
speeches by certain members against Great Britain,
of which the following are specimens :—Mr. Douglas, who
seems well fitted for a lawless borderer, said, " Give us mili-
tary posts in that territory, garrison them with American
officers and soldiers, and he,iior ene, would not care much
about laws. It was not laws, nor civil authority, by which
possession of the country could be maintained, but it was by
military force that we must take possession of it as well as

sion on the part of Great Britain, and punish any invasion
to meet it."

Mr. A. Brown said, that Great Britain could not make war
against the United States fur anything contained in the Bill
before them ; but if she should consider it cause for war, he
would say, " Let her have it—on the first day and hour that
she desires it let her have it." •
On the Ist inst. Mr. Winthrop addressed the Committee in
an able speech against the Bill, in which the spirit of war
and of aggressive acquisition which was prevalent in the
House was severely and justly rebuked, and the violent and
abusive language indulged towards Great Britain, as it re-
spects her policy in this conduct, shown to be wholly with-
out warrant, either of history or of contemporaneous circum-
stances.

On the 3d the Bill was finally passed by a majority of 140
to*:;4. It was introduced into the Senate on the following
day, read twice and referred to a Committee. The Committee
of foreign relations had reported against the Bill for the
annexation of Texas.

The correspondent of the Courier and En7n:rer, dating
Washington, February 10, says upon the questim of an-
nexation :

" The Committee on Foreign Relations, through their
chairman, Mr. Archer, made a report to the Senate to-day,
adverse to the project of annexation. The Committee con-
sist of Messrs, Archer, Choate, Morehead, and Buchanan;
and they were, with the exception of Mr. Buchanan, unani-
mous in the report and the accompanying resolution, which is
as follows :

" Resolved,—That the joint resolutions from the House
of Representatives for the annexation of Texas to the United
States be rejected.'
" They also reported an additional resolution, which merel
recommends that the memorials on this subject referred.)
the Counnittee be laid upon the table."
On the following day a Bill was presented on this question.
which provides for the annexation of Texas as a State. Com-
missioners are to be appointed by the President to negotiate
with Mexico and Texas, for which purpose the Bill ap-
propriates 100,000 dollars. The Commissioners are to re-
port, and in next Congress their communication will be
considered.

The creditors of the repudiating States will be glad to learn
that Pennsylvania has paid the February interest on her
debt. A 'All to that effect passed both branches of the Le-
gislature by a unanimous vote in each, on the Ist instant.
The payment took, place on the 3d, and was signalised by
the firing of cannon. Pennsylvanian stock has risen consi-
derably.
There had been little or no business in the New 'York
markets in the course of the week prior to the sailing of the
packet, on account of the great snow-storm, which had inter-
rupted communication.
Foreign exchange was firm at 1094 to 110 and 110 i, with
a moderate demand.

The latest news from Mexico is contained in the Diario
of Vera Cruz of the 13th of January, at which period Santa,
Anna was still alive, and in freedom, but despairing of suc-
cess. He has sent three of his officers to treat with the
supreme Government, the troops on both sides withdrawing
into cantonments. The revolution was believed to be en-
tirely at an end, and Santa Anna's submission complete.
