no provision f, the acquisition administration hostile provinces, wrung by lUrce ar intrigue from foreign power or from the native population. As for the creation of settlements on ihe Western o1 the North American continents il is obvious that he sovereignty of the United States could only be tained by an imposing orce in those distant regions, where II would enconner the perpetual hostility of the British the Spanish, and the Indian races. The attempt to establisha line of oup0ss and of military communication from Missouri or Arkansas 10 the coasts of California on Oregon. across the American cnplinen, the present state of that region, would pTose an enormous and permanest charge on the slate if indeed, it be not altogether impracticable. In point of fact, the shores OI the faclhc can only he reached and commanded iron the ocean, and no tablishmPnis those coasts can be secure without preponderating naval force in those seas. It was doub, an easy task for an American commodore, on some rumor of war with Mexico year or two ago, possess himself of the finest harhor on the coast Of California; and some simn aggression may very probably he again atiemted in inc course of the next few months.

Ina nl inc hN a cotemporary exceed S8 ,0O0 GOO; they stated by Mr. Putnam, in his receu, published compilation, to have amounted 10 $4,703,950 in lS44. IL is no- torious that the actual increase of the British navy estimates for the present year was stated by Sir Rob ert Peel, n his financial statement at the opening of the session, to be nearly one million sterling-lhat IS, the addition made naval expenses is nearly equal 10 the total amount o the navy estimates oi The United States. In the Pacific, more especially, ,the squadron under Admiral Seymour is amply sufficient to any emergency in which it may be called up- on to act h will be remembered that when the Or egon question was brought forward in Parliament, Ministers declared, not only that they resolved, but they are prepared to malnian the rights of the | Grown. Whatever Mir. Folks resolution may be, apprehend that his state of preparai ion is such as to make pacific solution ofthese disputes highly | acceptable; and both in Texas and in Oregon the American Government risks far more than it can gain by such acquisitions, purchased at the cost oi lhe honor of the Union and the peace Of the world.- | [Timts
