Our Relations ,oith .4n,erica.-We have express
ed our opinions fully relative to the present DO
sltlon OF matters between England and the United
States on the sub ect of the Oregon territory, in
the European Times which the Great Western car
RED out, that we deem it superuous to go into the
question again. The time which has elapsed since
that steamer sailed has been too brief to admit of
any change in public feeling on this side of the
water. Indeed, no change is likely to occur. We

are going off favorably at remunerating prices.

and M. Theirs has brought the question of the Jes-
uits before the Chambers-a body of religionists
respecting whose existence and movements much
jealousy exists amongst our French neighbors.-
The debate on the subject was marked by a good
deal of acrimony, and the leading men of the diff
ferent parties in the Chambers expressed them
selves warmly The recent religious revival in
that country has greatly strengthened the power of
the church, and those who desire to curb that pow
err, seek to do it most effectively by this covert at
tack on the most accomplished and insdious por.
ton Of the Catholic priesthood. The making of
railways forms in the French Legislature like our
own at the present moment, topic of absorbing
interest. In Africa, the old enemy of the French,
the notorious Add l-Kader is again in the field,
and giving some uneasness. The Commissioners
who have been trying to arrange the slave treaties
