NEW PORK CORRESPONDENCE.


NEW YORK, OCTOBER 81, lS45.
During the last twenty-four hours the city has
been filled with rumors respecting the Oregon nego-
tiation and Mr.. McLANE's position at the British
Court. From the facts which have come to my
knowledge, / have no doubt that Mr.. McLANE
is deeply mortified the cold and reserved manner
in which Mr. Polk has treated him since he left
the United States When say Mr.. Polk, refer
to him President and allude to official commu-
nicatons, through the Secretary of State, which he
had right to expect in relation to Oregon, and
which, il is believed have not been transmitted.
Mr.. McLANE is not the man TO be trihed with; and
If the rumors which circulated be true, and be-
ieve the greater part rue he will return TO the
United States at as early period as practicable
probably in May or June.
There is also rumor respecting certain PROPOSE
tons said to have been made to the Government at
Washington, by order Of the British Government,
which order, it is asserted was received by the
Great Western few days since. These rumors,
in more or less tangible form, have found their
way into the newspapers The Express Of this
morning contains very clear and distinct statement
of what is said to be the proposition in the follow
ing words:
'Thc Great Western, however, we well informed,
brought out fresh propositions from the British Government,
which put and amicable aspect upon the whole
case.
Great Britain proposes 10 hape Oregon IN the joint
occupancy Of the american and British authorities for N
teen gears, and after The expiration of that time to submit
The question Of Government TO The inhabitants, haping
them be americans British, they choose 10 be
dependent, and TO firm Government Of their ouon,"
now propose to correct the above statement,
according to the rumor which have heard, and
which have strong reason to believe is we-founded
In the first place, the instructions from the Bril-
fish Government, if there any on the subject,
could not have been received by the Great Western
which arrived the 2Sth, because previous to her
arrival the rumor was circulated in confidential
whispers.
do not believe that any formal official PROPOSE
ton has been made, by order by authority of the
British Government to the Administration at Wash
ington
do believe that some unauthorized suggestions
have been presented to some one or more of the
members of the Cabinet, by distinguished British
subject or subjects, and that these suggestions
courteously received
think it probable that tire subject has been pre-
scented to the Cabinet for their consideration, by the
parties to whom it was originally suggested.
New YoRK, NOVEMBER l. ls45.
/ learn that life of General ScoTT is now in 4
state of preparation by ED. ID. MANSFIELD, Esq,
of Cincinnati. This, presume, may be consider
ed as an indication by his friends that they intend
to present him, at proper time, candidate for
| the Presidency.
The lectures of FLETCHER WEBSTER, on China,
are spoken of, by competent Judges in terms of the
highest panegyric, and have no doubt they merit
all that is said of them.
