n. Settlement Of the Oregon Question on the basis
,,,yeaed by the British Government.
The terms of the Treaty, though not officially an
.,r,ced are. no doubt, substantially as named in
,.v;ou, dispatches. This is great news no, for its
,a,ynes alone upon this Country, but upon the
whole civilized world.
Ji,a triumph Of true Patriotism over selfish and
h,,sl Passion Of which both Great Britain and the
l United States may well be proud. May no un-
,owsrd circumstance prevent the contamination OF
1 tho work 50 auspiciously begunl The laurels won

The following letter of a date anterior to that of
The foregoing dispatch was intended 10 reach US at
an earlier hour, but was delayed by the breach in

As xplanatory Of the causes Of action on the part
the Senate, and developing the position OF Sir
Robert Peel aud the aspect Of British politics. II is
highly interesting.
WASHINGTON, june l2-63 p. NJ
Ibid no, write, because my own judgmen, wasin
doubt as TO important matters connected with The
great question which ID now pending. Since then,
lhsve conferred personally with more than twenty
Senator's and can now speak with more confidence.
The terms before the Senate though not in form,
are substantially the ultmatum Of the British Minis
Try. They were not pnt in that shape, becaus Sir
RoberPee did not desire to embarrass his successor
with any committaI to his policy, or to leave the re-
sponsbiy Of war upon the shoulders of his friends
iione should grow out of it.
This may be news to the country, but information
in possession of The Senate showing that Sir Robt
Peel will probably resign within thirty days
portion Of the Tories have signi6ed to Lord John
Russell and his friends that they will form coali
ton to expel the Ministry whenever they arc ready.
Sir Robert is opposed to this condition OF things and
will be apt to take the Home Labor Bill, ms the
shance to declare himself fully and to relinquish the
Premiership
Last nigh, good feeling prevailed as to the re-
sul-had vote been taken yesterday, the two
thirds could have been obtained bat one difficulty
Is now to be apprehended and that is as TO the
snenduents which may be offered-For example:
Great Britain asks for the navigation OF the Co
unba River during the charter Of the Hudson s Bay
Company, which expires in 1863 land not in 1855,
syo1 printed me- Some Senators fear this stpu.
hscn would cover renewal of the charter The
ssh opinion is that il would not.
Those who raise the objection desire to insert
clause 10 that effect. This would involve the neces-
SyOfretcruing the proposition TO England for Mr.
F'senbaus hands are tied as to any alteration. -
This difficulty will, Hope, be obviated.
The proposition OF England submits, that her
privilege of navigating the Columbia never shall be
Scec, TO the United States laws of navigation and
'evenue, now in existence but no farther restriction
sai be imposed without the reference to this right
iee article stipulatng for remuneration for British
stsnents below the line of 49o. provides for CON-
pn,sdon for any American province North ofit.
The following is the most reliable account of the
opposition a. il now stands, Messrs. Fairfield Jen-
ses, Aiher;on Dickinson, Sturgess, Cameron, Cass,
Aschson, Breese, Semple, Allen and Hannegan, and
Mr. Brigh, also, but he is still absent in Virginia
Ind snot expected before Monday.
The following are doubtful Messrs. Bagby, Tur-
asy Wesicou and Simmons. The last will proba-
ayso right on the great struggle. Mr.. Barrow and
III. C,isenden are absent ct Fortress Monroe and
vii no. return before Monday. Mr.. Evans is ex-
Peced back today. and then the Senate is account
