THE OREGON QUESTION.

The Washington correspondent Of the Journal
Of Commerce says
"Mr. Adams, it is said, as well as other wings
in Congress, are now prompt and decided IN their
declarations that they will not concede an inch
Gas MIA. says, nota n'inute)-of the territory
less Great Britain should concede to US the right to
acquire and possess the CALIFORNIA;.
"There is scarcely doubt that Great Britain
designs TO possess and coonize the CALIFORNIA;, and
there is not much reason to suppose that she will
relinquish that design, even for the sake Of peace
sit is stll possible, and barely possible, that he
proposition to give Great Britain the years notice,
will fail In the Senate. If it pass,-and ten chan
ces to one it will,-then we must abandon our
claim, or prepare to maintain it,"
The Ohio Statesman says
The papers received by the late arrival from Eng
land report the Duke of Wellington having said,
in reference to the Oregon question, that il there
is to be war with this country, 1t must be of a
short, sharp, and decisive character His grace is
not apt to speak idly and if it be true that the men
who say the least, invariably perform the most, he
will undoubtedly give us trouble, but not enough
to disturb us seriously, if we only make the right
use of the great advantages which God and Nature
have placed in our hands, to the end that we may
accomplish our destiny, namely, the occupation Of
this continent. by the expulsion from it of all for
eign rule. We are rejoiced to see, in proper
quarter, the commencement OF movement calcu-
lated to put us on war footing should the clouds

blackness. We refer to the resolutions offered in
the U. S. Senate, the 9th of December by the great
statesman and soldier of the west, Gen. Cass Here
they are:
Resolved That the committee on Military AT
fairs te instructed to inquire into the condition of
the national Notifications and Of their ornaments,
and whether other defensive works are necessary; !;
and into the condition and quantity of the military
supplies and into the state Of the means possessed
by the government for the defence of the country.
Resolved, That the committee on the Militia be
instructed to inquire into the present condition OF
chat great branch Of the public service, and into
the state OF the mitia laws and that they be furth-
er instructed to report such changes in the existing
system as will give more experience and efficiency
to that Of defence, and will place in the best
condition for protecting the country, should il be
exposed to foreign Invasion
Resolved, That the committee on Naval Affairs
be instructed to inquire into the condition Of the
navy Of the United States, and into the quantity
and condition Of the naval supplies now on hand,
and whether an increase Of them 10 not necessary

preservation and augmentation, and generally into
its capacity for defending our coast and our COM

BY the arrival aty Havana. of the British Mai
Steamer from Vera Cruz, the Havana Diario d.
Ia Mavino has received letters from Mexico, Civ
ing, IA substance, the same information. That pa
per states. that persons well acquainted with the
secrets Of the Mexican Government, say that prop.
ositons to that Government have been made by
our Consul. at the city of Mexico, to settle the
boundaries Of the two countries (the annexation
question being considered settled) 10 the following
manner. The United States to pay an indemnfi-
cation of four five millions OF dollars; their boun-
dairy line to be the Rio Bravo del Norte, including
part Of the States of Tamaulpas, Coahuila Chihua-
hua, and New Mexico, together with the city Of
Santa Fe.
The writer Of the letters from Vera Cruz, does
not believe that the Mexican Government will ac-
cede to such proposition; at least for so small an
indemnification as four or FIVE millions of dolaYs.
tits also stated, by the same authority that propo
sitions have also been made Tor ,i,e acquisition Of
New California. TIE boundaries would in that
case be the River ella, which nnites with the Col
erado near It's mouth. aud empties into the Gulf of
California. This stream runs almost due west from
the Rocky Mountains, through the state Of Sonora
This acquisition Of territory would give US the
harbors of San Francisco. Monterey, and San
Pedro.
The following extract Of letter from Washing
ton, to the New York Courier and Enquirer, seems
to give further probability to the above:
"IfI am correctly informed, as doubt not am,
there is strong probability thst our territory will,
before period not very distant, be enlarged by the
annexation Of California. My information is, that
Mr.. Slidell is charged with the purchase of that
department of the Mexican confederation; and the
embarrassed position and the necessities OF the
Central Government, together with the disturbed
condition of three provinces, encourage the belief
that Mexico will not be disinclined to listen, and
perhaps accede to the propositions he is authorized
to make"

the question Of peace or war Is not with US, but
