TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1846.

The Halifax mail steamer, Hibernia, which arrived
in our river on Sunday, with dates from New York
to the 15th instant, brings us the important an-
nouncement of the acceptance, by the American
senate, of the terms offered by the government of
this country for the settlement of the Oregon ques-
tion. The particulars of the agreement are thus
given by a correspondent of the New York Herald
for Europe :

s.ry generally understood that the proposition
is in substance the boundary line of the 49th parallel
to the open sea, through the middle of Fuca straits,
leaving open to both countries the navigation thereof.
England is to possess the whole of Vancouver's Island,
and the free navigation of the Columbia river during the
charter of the Eiudson's Bay Company. The present
charter of that company expires in 1863, and a ques-
tion is already mooted, whether the arrangement. if per-
fezted, would cover a renewal of that instrument.
The legal opinion is, that it would not. Those who
raised the objection desired to insert a clause to this
effect, but as that would involve the necessity of re-
turning the offer to England for amendment, incur-
ring a delay of thirty to forty days, the matter was
left open. The proposal of England submits that her
Privilege of navigating the Columbia shall be subject to

United States laws of navigation and revenue now in
existence, and that no further restrictions shall be im-
posed without reference to this right. Stipulations are
made for remuneration for British settlements below the
line of 49, and providing for compensation for American
possessions north of it. Mr. Pakenham's power of
settlement upon this basis was understood to be con-

ditional."

Another version, from the New York Courier,
will be found in our summary, which does not con-
vey the idea that the terms are accurately known.
As given by the Herald, they appear fair and ho-
nourable to both parties, and, we trust, will lead
to the continuation of that good understanding
which ought ever to exist between the mother
country and the American people.-

Frotit the seat of war on the Rio Grande we have

little of importance, with the exception of a rumour
that General Paredes has made overtures of sub-
mission to the American government. It does not
appear that, in any event, there is any great proba-

bility of the war being prolonged ; the instability
of the power of the Mexican president presenting a
bar to any very strenuous defence being made on
his part, In the meantime, the force under General
Taylor is said to be preparing to advance, notwith-
le hot weather, with a view of dictating
;ertns before the city of Mexico. The volunteers
tre represented as being in excellent spirits, and full
of admiration of their own prowess.

Our accounts from Montreal are to the 13th
instant, and contain an important address, delivered
on the 9th instant by the Governor-General of

Canada, in proroguing the provincial parliament.
His excellency thanks the 'members for their inde-
fatigable attention to their duties, the liberality with
which they have provided supplies for the public
service, and the loyal spirit in which they have
passed the Militia Bill, thus manifesting their readi-
ness at all times to come forward, if needed, in de-
fence of their country, and in support of its con-
nexion with the parent state. The concluding
paragraph does not evince an effort to conceal the
fact that they have viewed with feelings of dissatis-
faction the recent policy of government, and that
its tendency might have been to weaken their attach-
We quote the paragraph itself :--

" In returning to your he

ctire districts, by encouraging that spirit of loyalty

ed, and by promoting, as far as it may be in your

of commercial enterprise, ucon which the wel-
fare of the colony so mainly depends. For they may be
assured that, however unfavourable the aspect of affairs
may have appeared to them, there exists sufficient power
and energy in this noble province, if well directed, to
snake the most of the resources it unquestionably pos-
sesses ; that will, under the blessing of Divine Providence,
create new sources of wealth and prosperity, should those
upon which they have relied he found ultimately to fail
them."

As a proof of the existence of this feeling, which.
...as been denied in this country by ministerial advo-
cates, we may also quote the following passage from
the speech of one of the members for Montreal in
the concluding debate of the session. The honour-
able representative said : _ _ _ _
