United States and Great Britain.

The Washington National Intelligencer of
yesterday, has the following article on the pro-
ceedings in the Senate on Monday, with regard
to our relations with Great Britain
1--WE earnestly congratulate our readers on
the information concerning the relations be-
tween the United States and Great Britain,
which they will find exactly stated in the report
of yesterdays Senate Proceedings. Consider
ing the rumours that have been in circulation,
nothing could be more interesting to the whole
country at the present moment than these dis
closures in the Senate, unless perhaps it be the
chart of the principles of the new Administra-
ton which may be expected in the Inaugural
Address of the President elect
We learn from the statement of Mr.. Buchan-
an that, in regard to the Boundary Question,
the Governments of Great Britain and the Uni
ted States have agreed upon the main points of
a Convention for the final adjustment afthat ques-
tion; and that, in the opinion of the Executive,
there is every reason TO look with entire conf
dence to prompt and satisfactory termination
of the long negotiation upon this question.
We learn, further with great pleasure, that
there is no foundation for the rumor that an an
cry correspondence has recently taken place
between Mr. Fox and Mr.. Forsyth, or any cor
respondence, the character of which would just
ify call for its publicity.
The remarks Of Mr. Clay, whose wisdom and
experience in our Foreign Relations stamp ev-
cry thing he says on that subject with more
than common impress, are no less important
than acceptable. Happy must j. be accounted
that upon this very interesting and important
matter the leaders of the party coming into pow
er and of that which is about retiring, entertain
opinions upon il between which there is hard
ly discernibie shade Of difference
The statement Of the Chairman of the Sen
ate's Committee on Foreign Relations, the rea-
der cannot fail to perceive, has all the effect OF
counterblast to the martial appeal made the
other day by the distinguished Chairman of the
Committee on Foreign Relations in the other
House. The effect mark! We do notsay the
intention, as we are not in ahe counsels of the
Honorable Senator from Pennsylvania or of the
Administration whose confidence he enjoys.
