The steamer Cambria arrived at Boston

on wednesday the 18TH instant, with dates
to the 18th from Liverpool, from London to
the Sd, and Paris to the 1st inst. The news
is decidedly pacific in its aspect. Parlia-
ment was opened on the 22d January by
the Queen, who addressed, in person, a
speech to the House of Lords. Expressions
of regret are made that the difficulties be-
tween that country and the United States,
about Oregon, are yet unsettled. Our limits
will not admit Of our giving any thing more
than the following, which will have ten
dency to quiet all fears of war with Eng
land about Oregon:
Wilmer s. Smiths European Times OF
the 4th instant says: The steamship Cam
bria, commanded by our excellent and es-
teemed friend, Captain Judkins, takes out
to-day the most important and gratifying
intelligence that ever left the shores OF
Great Britain. Sir Robert Peel-England's
powerful and brilliant Minister-has deve-
loped his future commercial policy. 1t is
at once simple and comprehensive; and
under its operation the exchange of COM
modities between this country England
and the United States will be carried to an
extent, and will be naturally productive of
advantages, greater, to quote not lrreverent-
" the words of the sacred volume, ethan
the eye hath yet seen, or the heart hath
concelved.' The new scheme embraces,
with full sense of their importance, the
princi pies of free Undergraduates all pro-
lection for commerce, manufactures and ag-
riculture; admits corn duty free, at the end
of three years, with scale in the interim.
which will probably oscillate between four
and six shillings per quarter, and at once
admits Indian corn and buckWheat free oil
all duty whatever. To the details of this
great measure we earnestly entreat the at,
tention of our commercial readers. Grea
Britain at the present moment, is in blaze
of excitement; men talk and think of no.
thing else; they have set their hearts upon
securing the great fiscal scheme, for the re-
generation of the country, which the Pre-
ner has laid before Parliament, and they
desire to curtail the period fixed for the tota
extinction of the corn laws. The friends o.
peace and progression, on this side of tht
water, hope-earnestly and sincerely hope
that the new policy will bind America tc
us by the ties of amity, brotherhood ant
interest, and that the miserable squabblins
about barren waste will give way to more
liberal, civilized, and comprehensive views
The immediate effects of the new tariff
on the most prominent articles of American
exports we have noticed elsewhere. Alto
gether the subject in its various phases, is
the most important that ever crossed the
Atlantic since the Introduction of Ocean
navigation and all that is now wanting is
for the Government and people of the Uni
ted States to meet us in kindred spirit
and in the true spirit of commerce and o.
friendship, forget the past, and run gene,
rous race of mutual happiness and prospe.
rity for the future.
UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN
The European Times of the 4th instan
says: "'The commercial intelligence which
goes out by this packet is necessarily of {
meagre and unsatisfactory kind. A state o
transition is, of all others, the most unlavor
able for the requirements of trade; for TIT
uncertainty which precedes the change un
hinges the operations alike of buyer and sci
Ter, of exporter and importer.
The new policy of the United States, al
indicated in the report of the American Sc
cretary of the Treasury, has commanded
much attention in the British Parliament
Sir Robert Peel spoke highly of the repor
in the great speech in which he introduced
the new Tariff; and subsequently,, at th'
request of Lord Monteagle, the government
consented TO reprint the document, and place
it on the tables of both houses of Parlia
ment-an honor which was probably neve
awarded to any similar document before
All these facts prove the desire which thu
British government has to make our future
relations with the United States as amicablt
and busness-llke as possible.
Markets, as we before stated, are all more
or less affected by the Premer's financia
expose; and business can hardly be ex
pected to resume its healthy tone, until it il
known whether the measure will pass or b.
1ejected-whether there will be dissolu
ton of Parliament this year or next.
The Intelligence which has come to hanC
from the United States shows the angry dis
cussions which have taken place in Con
gress; but the cotton market has not beer
touched by it. Pacific people here, con
nected by business relations with America
express wonder that Mr.. John Q. Adams
the steady and consistent friend of peace
