ENGLAND AND OREGoN.-Considerable sensa-
ton was produced yesterday by the circulation OF
the English Premier's remarks in Parliament on the
Oregon question. in which some lively aud timd IN
aginaiions iancied that they heard oninous distant
mutterings of "drums and rumpets bunderbusses
and thunder" Nevertht less. Wall street did not
think proper be disturbed IN the occasion, aud
we see lile for any body else being r'ghen-
ed out OF their proprlel,- Sir Robett Peel appears
TO have very gratuitousy regarded tie President

menace, requiring England TO throw herself back On
her dignity and make II corresponding spirited as
serton of her side Of the This he dues t. the
effect that her right is good ours thai he hopes
for amiCable settlement in the way OF compromise
and that at all events the English Government will
be read, 10 protect the national !onor If invaded
A fer the in which the question WAS put Ia
him hy Lord John Russell, we do not see that he
could well have said less The cheers accompanying
a little flourish OF this kind were matter OF course.
Very well-all this was 10 have been expected Not
wiihstanding Sir Robert Peel's "eXtreme regret"
on The subject, ate glad 10 note the good effect
which has been produced by this point in the lnau-
gural 1t has struck, and this is the flying Of the
splinters. 1t was time for English diplomacy To
derstand that we meant what we said, when we as
serted our positive determ nation 10 mai tam our
clear AMI mpregnable title TO Oregon Speaking
in the name of the people out OF whose midst he had
Just sprung fresh and earnest. the President very
properly declared this as one Of the results OF the re-
cent election; and though this abrupt Introduction of
the trumpe-ione Of the nal ona voice into the midst
of the gentle whsperings of diplomatic intercourse
ON he subject, may have sounded little startling
pc haps little neutrality-suspicious. IL was full
time for the hint, and we see no reason 10 regret
thai ii given.
The English side of this question is very simple.
Title they have at all in the premises, while
ou,s is u conclusive one. Nevertheless, by bold as
ola title, their object is 10 place the question
the footing of negotiation between equal pre-
tentions and equal claims, with prospective finale
Of comp omise giving them, al any rate, something
like half-tha half being Just so much clear gain-
No wonder that it is little uncomfortable to have
the nice quiet interchange Of diplomatic bHets.douT
on such question interrupted by the impairment
intrusion OF such gentle hint from the roT popuh OF
America. However, more good than harm " i'll be
done by it IN the end.
II is very certain that nothing offensive 10 Great
Britain was meant by The President in the passage
in question. lie simply declared fact and truth,
because it was fact and truth, pertinent TO the
occasion, and proper to be spoken IL our Presi-
dents message and address do not usually consist oil
the unmeaning generalles of phrase which consti-
eute Kings Queens speech in England, the
difference Of usage may be misfortune, but it is
not fault.
Ofany real danger of War we have no serious
idea. England will never 40 to war with us Tor
Oregon. She is too heavily bound over to keep the
peace. The Times, with its habtual clustering in
science, hints at seryile war TO be excited in our
midst. Does it forget England's own slave popula
ton home-a population at once more crue lily SUI
ferIng destitute and oppressed than the negro slaves
of the South and far more formidable its masters,
the English aristocrucy and monarchy, the event OF
an interruption Of commercial intercourse with this
country? No, no-Englanh will Hot go to wal with
US for fifty Oregons.-(N. Y. Morning News.
