CRISIS ON THE OREGON QUESTION.
By the packet ship Patrick Henry, which reached thus
port yesterday, we have received intelligence from New
York to the 12th ult. The most important inforroationt
which is of a very unfavourable character, is the following
abstract of
THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
"Washington, Saturday Evening, Feb. 7.
" A most important Message was made by the President to
the house, in answer to the call of the house, consisting of
Ist. A message transmitting the correspondence that h
taken place between this Government and that of Great Ihv
taM, in relation to the Oregon difficulty.
2d. A short latter from Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Polk, coveria
the correspondence.
3d. A letter, dated Dec. 13, from Mr. Buchanan to, Mt.
Mc. Lane, directing him to seek an interview with Lord Aber-
deen, and ascertain from him the object of the military prePt"
rations being saade by Great Britain, and whether they were
designed for us.
4th. A letter of the 3d -January, from Mr. M‘Lane to Mr'
Buchanan, giving the result of the interview with Lord Aber-
deen, in Which his lordship said that the preparations were not
commenced with reference to us, but that the condition of the
Oregon question. proved the expediency of them, and they
would be continued in view of the possible unfriendly term,'
nation of the question.
sth. Mr. Pakenham to Mr. Buchanan, December 27, offer-
ing to submit the question of the boundary to the third power'
6th. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Pakenham, declining the PO::
position,'Jiecause, to accept it would be to admit that Gres.
Britain had rights there. The letter is a long, evasive, and 0(4
very definite argument.
7th. Mr. Pakenham to Mr. Buchanan, January 6,, in answer
to the argumentative part of Mr. Buchanan's last letter.
Sth. Same to the-same, January 10, proposing to submit thl
matter to the arbitriment of learned Jurists, or to a mire
u
commission.
oth. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Pakenham, February 4th, de-
i
cluing to accept this last proposition, for the same reason_ h
did the first ; that it would be to admit that Great Britain hao
a right in that country.
It would seem, therefore, that the American govern"

ment decline all negotiation on the subject.
On the sth, the Senate passed a resolution, by a majo-
rity of 109 to 87, to close the debate on the 9th, E 0 that
the next arrival wilhbe looked for with great i,,terest. k
correspondent of the New York Advertiser says,
doubt much whether the government will entertain propo-
sals to negotiate upon any basis which the British go-
vernment will offer. Next Monday ;the 9th) will shoo'
that the house, by a, large majority, v.Ol pass the joint
resolution, annulling the convention of 1827, and request-
ing the President to give the notice forthwith." The New
York Herald says, that " There is no doubt that negotia-
tions which have been reopened at Washington by Mr•
Pakenham will result upon a basis of compromise similar
to the offer which has been twice made by the States, but
refused by England. Mr. Pakenham has received
full power from his government to open negociatioris
either on the old basis of the proposition for-
merly offered by Mr.. Gallatin, or on nearly the same
as that offered by Mr. Buchanan. It is further said,l/31 4
,
while the British negotiator approximates the offer maul
by the United States, the United States-is receding, an, '
the government actually has been deliberating to insist
upon having the whole territory, down to 54 40, and have
therefore refused the offer of the British Government t°
arbitrate, and will take the chance of accomplishing agar_
purposes by future events and contingencies. In th
mean time Mr. Pakenham will send the last correso°'
dente, by exrress to London, and hide his time to 01,9 at. perhaps, ,another proposHon. It will be peiceife"mot
once, that we are now in the milt of a most ing,°r
and delicate crisis in the affairs of Oregon."
One of the fast-sailing New York pilot-boots left
company with the Patrick Henry for this country, s'lt:I;
important despatches for the British Government, and "
is said that Mr. Pakenham himself was on board of ber•
A rumour was current at Washington that a duel ha:
been fought between Cassius -M. Clay and Thomas r..
Marshall, and that. the latter was killed and the foroier
wounded.
