THE OREGON QUEsTIoE.-The N. York Cuu rier has the following statement.
 We learn, upon authority entitled to the most im- plic reliance, that in the of failure on the part of the negotators al Washington to agree upon the respective rights of the parties, the British Go- vernment have suggested the reference of the whole question to the arbitration ofany European Sovereign 10 be designated by ths Government ofhe U. States- agreeing to abide by his award.
 With such an offer this nation must cose-uness we be prepared to assert our extremest claims at every hazard, without regard to the claims of olh- ers and in utter contempt of the moral sense of the world
 IL must therefore be assumed as certain that the Oregon question will be amicably adjusted, and that m no event, therefore, can any misunderstanding occur with England in relation to it.
