FOREIGN NEWS-ONE DAY LA
TER.

Bv the arrival at New York of the
packet ship Yorkshire, we nave intel
iigence from England to the 5th Of
March. A synopsis of the correspon-
dence between Buchanan and Packen-
ham, which had reached England. and
in which Mr.. Buchanan refused to re-
fer the Oregon question TO arbitration,
caused considerable excitement. The
English papers were very angry, and
indeed quite warlike in their tone.
The Switzerland had arrived out with
the Oregon notice resolutions, that had
passed the House Of Representatives.
They increased the war feeling in Lon
don.
The English and French funds were
depressed in consequence of the news
from the United States.
The cotton market had slightly i'm
proved.
The Paris papers of the Cd ult. are
entirely barren Of news. They are
chiefly occupied with the proposition
now under consideration OF the Cham
ber of deputies, respecting the naviga.
ton Of the rivers Of France.
Inorder to show the feeling in Eng
land, caused by this news, we copy the
following paragraphs from the London
Sun.
(From the London Sun, March 4, P'.M)
"All that England has to do is to
look to her own interests and take care
that her rights and possessions are not
destroyed by the inundation. Hither-
to she has displayed the utmost moder-
alton and forbearance, whether we look
to the government, the legislature, or
the press. With the exception of a
very few hasty articles in the English
newspapers, provoked, possibly,by that
tone of defiance SO loudly proclaimed
by members in both houses OF Congress,
scarcely one ground Of proyocation can
be urged by the American Government
