The diplomatic sky, so recently suspicious

surfing US that Mr.. Po!k, alarmed by the de-
nunciaiions and violence Of the "a c 40 men,
and caioIed by hopes, destined never to be
realized, of n reelection, has lallen back
from the ground orCompromise and settle
ment taken by Messrs. Calhoun, ColquitI,

matters TO take their course without farther
effort for adjustment. He knows that the
Senate will defeat any bill which the House
may pass extending our jurisdiction over all
Oregon or otherwise provoking a collision
with regard to that territory; he is led 10
believe that the cry for 'the irhOle of Oregon
will be irresistible with The People and po-
tential in making the next President, and he
hopes 10 profit by the chapter Of accidents.
So no new attempt at settlement is TO be
made and if Great Britain rests Gas she

MONDAY, Marcn 10.
In SENATE, Mr.. Benton, from the Com
mittee Of Investigation. made report that
all the charges and insinuations complained
of in the Times were false from beginning

iemptible libel" The committee, however.
content themselves with recommending that
1.-The publishers, proprictors, and reporters OF
the Times. be hereafter excluded from the gal
Lery." Adopted.
Mr.. Calhoun addressed the Senate on the
Oregon question. He was formerly opposed
TO The Notice, but things were totally altered
since the beginning of the session. Com
promise would now be made almost certainly.
Ii the British Government would renew me-
gotiation. the thing wonld be settled, in his
opinion, substantially on the basis last offered
by our Government. There would be no i'm
peGlment in accepting that offer.
He said he thought the extreme Oregon
men wouldnow oppose their own measure of
Notice.
The voice of the country had been heard.
II gathered strength every day, and it was
clearly compromise" A majority Of this
body-a very large one. was for compromise.
The remarks Of Sir Robert Peel did not
iilDit vi dDlC HIS
ter here. 1t meant to give intensity to his O.
pinion that the matter should and would be
fairly and amicably enthusiastically on
the basis OF 80 degrees.
The question was now no longer one of
Peace and War, but question of time. He
wished the question settled without delay, not
to be used in anoiher Presidential campaign.
He was opposed TO the House notice. He
might vote for the proposition of Mr.. Col
quitt.
He still though. that "inasterly inactivity"
would have been the best course, but the ac
ton of others had precipitated the matter,
and he hoped the matter would now be speed
lily and honorably settled. MI. Berrien has
the floor for Tomorrow.
The House of Representatives was enga-
god with the River and Harbor bill-Mcssrs.
Ewing of Tenn, Perry of Md, Ewing Of
