foreign policy Of her Maiesty's Government, or
even Of their policy on the Oregon subject, nor
did ne in any way wish 10 embarrass their pro-
ceedlngs
But the inaugural address of President Polk
had taken this question out Of the ordinary
course OF diplomatic arrangement and requiY-
ed some notice on the part of members of that
House That distinguished functonaTy bad
adopted a course entirely new, which, if it
were not met with something unusual on their
parts, would let questions of great national m
portance be decided hereafter by popular ad-
dresses from the head of the Government and
| by the popular action resulting theretrom.
The President in his message had alluded TO
the annexation of Texas to the United States,
an alIuson which he on y noticed for the pur-
pose Of showing that the present policy of the
executive Government of the United States
tended to territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. In FMS
next sentence the President declared his nter-
ton to assert and maintain by all constitution
al means, the right OF the United States TO that
| portion of their territory which was situated
beyond the Rocky Mountains.
''Our title, - said he, "to the country of Ore
gon, is clear and unQuestionable, and already
are our people preparing TO perfect that title
by occupying it with their wives and chldran.' ~
In consequence Of this declaration, he (Leyd
j. Russell, felt compelled to call the attention
OF the house and the country to this quest ion,
in order that they might see how far the Pre-
sldent was Justified in saying that his title to
the country of the Oregon was clear and un-
questionable, and IN declaring his intention to
take 1t into his possession without any regard
to those treaties, which were generally the
bonds Of peace between independent nations.
Sir r. Peel, after admitting the gravity Of
the question, and referring to the negotiations
OF Mr Canning to effect an adjustment of the
respective claims Of the United States and Of
Great Britain, which ended in failure, gave q
brief account Of the correspondence which has
taken place between TIE present Government
and the American executive. So recently az
the 18th of February last the late President,
Mr.. Tyler, in message to the Senate assign
ed, as reason for not complying with a request
to produce the correspondence, that the nego-
tations were still pending, that they had been
conducted in an amcable spirit, and that con-
siderable progress had been made IN them. He
/ (Sr r. Peel) could confirm the assertion to
the 'amlcabe spirit but not to the ''pro-
giess." However, on the 4th of March follow
ing, the new President, Mr.. Polk, delivered
that inaugural address which contained the re-
ference to the Oregon. No diplomatic COM
munlcations had taken place since; and what
was known was contained in the address.
He considered it his duty not to despair of a
favorable result but If it were otherwise, he
would not then object to lay on the table of the
House the whole of the correspondence which
mad taken place. He deeply regretted that the
President of the United States, in defiance Of
all usage, should have made the reference he
did, during pending negotiations, and pointed
to other contingencies. Not only did he regret
the reference, but the tone and temper in which
it was made
As the subject had been brought under dis
cusson, he felt it to be his duty, on the part of
the Government to state, in language the most
temperate, but at the same time the most deci-
sve, that they considered that we have right
to this territory of Oregon which Is clear and
unquestionable; that we desire an amcable adj
justment of the difference between our
selves and the United States but that, having
exhausted every effort to obtain 1t, if our rights
are invaded, we are resolved and prepared 10
maintain them.
A tremendous burst of cheers from all parts
of the house followed this annuncia.ion.
The subject then dropped
lRELAND.-FsrOcious Faction Fight. The
1ipperary indicator thus states, Tuesday,
the fair day of killaloe, was disgraced by a
bloody ahray between contending factions of
the Terry Ats, when 600 of those deluded men
proceeded from the Tipperary side ofthe Shan
non TO fight among themelves like dogs, for no
other cause but that, having been engaged in a
systematic hostility against the laws in per-
petTatng midnight depredatens on the poor
and defenceless." The police were not in sui-
icent numbers 10 be of any use.
