From Washs Paris Letter to tho National Intel encer | We have an immediate concern in the last article of the Foreign Quartcrly-an elaborate exposition of the Oregon question:, in behalf 0f the British pre- tensons. It IS, of course, illaclons, perempiory, oyerwtening, and abusive. This advocate makes | Mr. Polk he only President who has ventured to assert that the regi In belongs 10 the United States
 My impress s, that of his edecessors have proclaimed the same sentiment in one mode ar other The revewer was not, probably, aware of the de clratoas of the Senate the point of right. lie admits that there are ind, pendent BriSh settlers

 The Journal des Debats of this morning has just come into my hands ,lawith it's editorial ambitious essay of more than four broad columns on General Jackson. Professor Michel Chevalier has subscribed his initials to this manifesto against American Demo- cracy. It is in the same vein which he wrote of the General in his Letters from the United States. It ahounds with erroneous and mistaken judgements. The biographical sketch embraces dreadful picture of Western habits. The memory of Jackson is ar ragned all scores. He is charged with having changed the United States considerably for the verse; the American people being no longer suscep- tbe of rational control direction, but subject 10 Democrat ic passions alone. The anne exaton of Tex as is ascr,bed to e Jackson spirit and policy: "lat policy oi encroachnent (enuahsssment) winch looks 10 unity under the law and head for the whole continent of North America, from the isthmus of Panama to the frozen regions of the Pole on both oceans."-The project may succeed, says the Pros lessor; he rembles. however. for the American Un- lon and liberty; he apprehends the indefinite exten- sion of negro slavery and the formation of three or four rival empires. He ends with the remark, that Jackson's memory s big with glory and evil; but Washington's IS all lustre and good.
