IMPORTANT NEWS FROM OREGoN.-By
the Springfield Illinois, Journal, J
9th Nov. we find the following intelligence
from the settlement at Wallamet Falls,
brought by William Sutton, Esq, who left
the settlement about the middle OF last of
May.
''He was three months in reaching the
settlement on the Missouri, and is the
bearer of a petition TO the American govern
ment from the res dents of Oregon Terrific

route, which has before been noticed by

Oregon. He speaks Of the settlement as

met. DIR. Nc Laughin, the British COM
mander Of Fort Vancouver, claims the site

giving deeds, &c. He warns American
citizens not tointerl'ere with his Claims
The American settlers are very much per-
picked by his interference on the south
side Of The river. The Wallame furnishes
an immense water power suitable for ma.
chinery. Two grist and saw mills are
by this time built at that place-one owned
by DR.. Mclaughlin, who by means of his
great wealth, is determined 10 break down
the American owners of the other mills
The settlers are patient, expecting the
