BY the arrival Of the steamer CAMBRIA at Boston
on Sunday evening, London papers Of the 2Oth Ill
tmo have been received being three days later than
were brought by the Greaf Western.
The Cambria made The passage in twelve days
and two hours There is, however, no news OF
importance. The markets had undergone no change.
The Liverpool Times says:
sThe India aud Chinese markets have improved, and
they form at present the great outlet for our Poducts the
home trade promises exhibit for some time 70 come more

in healthy state american provisions hold an enconrdg

ccpon Of the great American staple, cotton all other articles

The tone of the British press generally is in
favor of an immediate settlement of the OREGON
QUESTION. The paper above quoted thus speaks
of it.:
Sour American friends hardly fail to be gratifed with
the calm and dpasaons temper in which the subject is
treated We repeat wha, have previously stated iha,
the part of the British no desire exists measure
ances with the United States abou, the Oregon Territory he
umbrage is be found in the language Of Mr. Polk but all
politicians appear to be agreed that the present is the time
neverfor bringing the affair to a conclusion"
On this question, if we can rely upon the
Paris correspondent Of the paper, public feel
ing in France is adverse to the claim Of the United
States to the whole Of the territory. The ground
assumed by the leading Paris papers is thus briefly
stated:
The questions relative Oregon and Texas have
rally excited much Of the attention Of the press and the public
Of this capital On the first the feeling is, upon the WHOLE
against Americahat is, against the pretensions put firth in
the Presidents harangue which excited such striking de-
monstraon in the British Parliament The Journal DIES
Deas, the principal ministerial organ, and which under
stood speak the personal sentiments Of his Majesty LoUIs
PHLIpPg himself has declared the express and decd
ed erms that the demands Of the American President to the
oo territory of Oregon unreasonable and extravagant
and has minated, in Of carefully weighed and
tous TERMS that in the Of rupture between England
and America the sympates if the actual interference Of
France would be with England. The Globe, another
erial organ, peculiarly under the control Of M Guzo Mi
mister for Foreign Affairs has also warmly rebuked what
calls the arrogant petensions Of Mr.. Polk La Presse is
like the Globe and the Db Of conservative principles but
is opposed to the present Ministry and is remarkable for lis
bitter hatred of England and every thing English and its
hostility the cora. But even the Presse has
declared on than OCCASION that the demands Of the
Government Of the United States the Territory Of Oregon
nopssainabk The legtims, republican, and violently
radical newspapers have entered into examine
ton Of the but they have decamed bitterly against
pede A5on against her pride, haughlnes and unust6a
BILE ambition, and all that Of thing AS however they
sing exactly the thing every day Of their lives not
disposed to attach the slightest importance what they say
The Constitutional which is the organ Of M THIERs has
said very little indeed the question, and that little to
attack the Ministry for its presumed leaning England, to
ethe prejudice Of ancient and faithful ally like the United
States Thus, then, you that far the press goes
the public feeling Of this country in favor Of Britain
