! EFFECT OF TIE CLOSE OF THE OREGON
NEGOTIATIONS IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE.
from Winners Liverpool Times, Dec.
The news from the western shores of the At
lantic recently, has excited more than ordinary
interest. The "Great Western" on her last
trip. brought home document which created
nearly as much amazement as if a shell had
! been Unexpectedly thrown with hostile intent,
into a friendly citadel. The number of the
Washington Union which claimed the whole of
Oregon for the United States, and repudiated
all negotiation on the subject was scanned with
painful feengs-was presumed to speak the
sentiments of President Polk, and to foreshadow
the tone of the forthcoming Message. The eff
feet was such as we have described it. War
and all its odious horrors stared every one in
the face. There appeared to be no escape from
it--no loop-hoe left by which an honorable
exit could be made. Men move in masses
think and sympathse in herds-and 'thoughts
that breathe and words that burn" issuing ST.
multaneously from thousand lips, show how
readily, under provocation, reason is subser-
Went TO passion. The poet has finely portray
ed it:
sHonor! thou blood stained god,
AT whose req dldf SIT war anu
On! 10 what maduess will insult DIVE tiny votaries
Writhing under the influence of this excited
f feeling, the Caledonia arrived on Friday, with
intelligence a week in advance of the Great
Western, and the nature of her dispatches had
; an emolent effect on the national impulse,
which now beats again with comparative cool
, ness. 1t was then found that the article in the
official paper was not understood, by those on
the SPOT, to have an official character-that
Mr.. Polk had not yet thrown away the scab-
bard-that the Wings, with their three P's-
"peace, prosperity, and progression we're IN
imical to war, and that Mr. Webster, at Bos-
ton, had made speech of a pacific and elevat-
ed character, in which all appeal to physical
force on the Oregon question was denounced as
folly and madness.
We have before stated, and the repetition at
the present time is almost superfluous, that, as
regards England, people here sare little in what
way the Oregon dispute may be patched up;
the value of the territory is hardly rated be-
yond pins fee, and right glad would be the
thinking, intelligent portion of the country, IT
the 10th parallel of latitude would hit the
views and the taste of the American govern
ment and people The annoyance, the irrta-
f ton, arises out of what is conceived to be the
Qualifying sprit' with which the United States
claim Is auFdhceu, WHICH naturally Wouhus our
national pride, and creates frame of mind lit
L. tie calculated to produce amity OF end in for
bearance. The refusal of the President to re-
fer the dispute to arbitration, looks like "fore-
gone conclusion" and is pointed to as proof
that the worst may still be apprehended from
obstinate councils.
1t has TRANSFERRED during the last day or two,
that Mr.. Polk has repeated to the English cabi-
net the offer which they have rejected two or
three times during the last quarter of a CEN
, tury, namely, to divide the territory by the
49th parallel of north latitude, and that they
f still adhere to making the Columbia the boun-
dairy, each nation being free of Its waters. 1t
is our curse to have monopoly of some kind
or other, always to fight for or to defend; some
