JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Esq =
Some supposed important dispatches were re-
ceived this morning from the agents Of our govern
ment in Mexico, the contents OF which have not
been made public, although it IS presumed they
relate TO private claims against the Mexican go
vernment. ! find but little faith reposed in the
Judgment, discretion, or ability OF Gov Shannon.
Ills peculiar position before leaving negotia-
ton OF outfit IN New York at an enormous per
centage-aDd his subsequent robbery in Mexico Of
reported large amount oil doubloons, cast reason
able doubt over his strict business capacity. But
he may assist 10 maintain the rights of private
claimants and national honor, which as an Ameri-
can he is bound TO preserve.
! he panic" attempted IN your city in business,
and especially IN stocks, appears 10 US here, as
most suicidal and ridiculous on the part OF the
wing press and pary-from the fact that much tho
largest portion OF stockholders are among their
friends The effect upon "fancies" has ex-
tended TO "realitles," and good stocks have tum-
bled III the depression IT'S like mans privately
assaillng the virtue OF his own wiie-howeveI
much he may endeavor to dlsabuse the pubic
mind afterwards, the tamt is left Just with the
bulls who have been " bears'-their present
desire TO eradicate false impressions ere aied BY
themselves, vii! not be speedy their previous
effort.
A young gentleman recently attached to the en-
cheering department of the French government,
selected 10 survey route Tor canal through Pa
naina or the Isthmu5 OF Ddfien, to connect the
Atlantic and Pacific, states, that as soon as the
English authorities discovered the proposed route,
they took possession OF certain points in the vlclni
tyr but whether as observationists opponents dc.
ponent saith not. Our surrender Of Oregon, refusal
to annex Texas, and the consequent advantages to
Great Britain by usurping power in the consiruc-
ton OF the canal through Panama, and after-pos-
session OF the Island of Cuba, would leave this gov
eminent completely acknowledgement inland
then we should clearly see, at a late day, the ne
cessty OF learning the powers OF Europe that this
contlnsa must be totally free from their aggression
The falling oil OF the revenue III your port apS
the probable decrease of foreign trade, under ~,
sent circumstances, has excited the recent a..s--
ton of President Tyler and Chancellor BbD. usS
Notwithstanding there is now a surplus in the s-z
surplus would be soon reduced 10 the mere was..
Of government. Our foreign trade will conuux~
to decrease, until something definite is settled win
the exciting questions of Oregon anu Texas. II
trouble should appear to be breeding, Sudden IN,
pulse will be given TO secure goods In prospect
OF advance under embargo, but this will not
transpire on any other point except the Oregon
question. The instant that Congress is conven-
ed, Senator Benton and others, will max an
i'm mediate and determined effort 10 occupy the ter
ritoIy of Oregon and take possession of the West
ern boundary, including the English forts on the
Columbia river and Pacific. The whole West de-
mand this as their right, and they will have IL;
the rapid strides Of emgratoa and the annihia-
ton OF time and space by railroad enterprise, has
brought the Pucifc end even the Chinese shores
within mere hop, skip and jump Of the far
west" They see the great and magnificent pro-
spectve results, and paught will stay their posses
sion, and the advantages they must eventually reap
by such occupation. Oregon ,cM Be occupied Ct the
ensuing session; and if Great Britain considers
that knocking The chip from its shoulder, lei
them strike blow, and not vestage OF European
possession will be left on this continent.
President Tyler is in good health, and annoyed
as usual with lntIlguers, who watch about The
White House as hungry sharks at Plumb Gut.
The justly celebrated Joel B. Sutherland is a con-
| slant vsiter-what he wants, few but the Presi-
dent can know, as he is OF the kind that lays
low and paddles still, for all the ducks he kills in
| these days. There IS strange parsonage here
inco0, known in your city the Countess de Val
cnnr i,,alias Mrs. Childs, alias Mrs - snoui.s
inform you OF her whereabouts, and the associate
she has with her, and his assumed position at the
Presidents mansion. This is great town, as
will show you in my next.
N. B.-The sentence Of Captain Newton by the
court martial, is two years without paw
