The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore American writing under date OF
Thursday. February S, says: The impor.
tant incident in to-day's proceedings has
been the remark drawn from the Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations OF
the House, that correspondence has been
opened between Mr.. Packenham and the
Secretary of State upon the subject of our
Foreign Relations with England. This
correspondence, Mr.. Ingersoll says. will be
laid before Congress without delay.
In the meantime, however, the President
has had a resolution before him for one
week and more. calling for this correspon.
dence. The House also on Monday adop.
ted resolution calling for the same cores
pondence. No answer comes at present
and all sorts of conjectures have gone forth
as to what this correspondence really is.
The House, you also observe, have agreed
to close the debate upon the Oregon ques.
ton on Monday next. This was the sixth
effort made to close the debate, and il sue.
ceeded by strong party appeal and some
interference il is thought from the White
House.
The Senate have shown an inclination "a
delay anything like summary disposition
of the naval bill by an adjournment unit
Monday. No business of any importance
was done in Executive session.

The Lexington Telegraph, of the 18th
inst, says: John c. Lester was arraigned
before the Judge of our Circuit Court, q,
special term, on Wednesday last, and
upon affidavit procured change of venue.
The defendant affirmed, that the inhabi.
tants of the entire fifth and sixth judicial
districts were so prejudiced against him
that he could not have fair trial in either
Of them, so the Judge sent the case to
Henry county. in the seventh judicial cir.
cult. The Judge remarked, that although
he was not clearly Of opinion that the statute
contemplated that criminal could swear
against every district in the State, YET, to
prevent the possibility Of an appeal to the
Supreme Court. he would allow the pris.
oner to except the two circuits.
John Horton also, charged with murder.
was arraigned, and his trial put off until
the next regular term.

OREGON.

The most important news we have on
this subject is, that negotiations have been
re.opened by the British Government, by
offering to our Government, TO refer, with
its consent, the whole matter to some
friendly power for arb itrement. The ref.
erence for arbitremen, was refused by our
Government, in any manner, shape or
form-and our title to the whole Of the
country re.affirmed.
Accompanying this correspondence, is
letter from Mr.. McLane, in speaking of
which, the Ezra" remarks, it "only con.
firms what was before well known as a
matter of general ncws-,hai the British
government are strengthening their navy
by the building of large number of
steamships, and in other respects render
ing il more formidable. 1t also commune
Gates the facts that this is done partly with
reference to the contingency of rupture
with this country, growing out of the Or
egon controversy. But that the British
authorities at the same time profess the
utmost anxiety to adjust the Oregon ques-
ton on amcable terms. and maintain peace.
ful relations with the United States.
The proposition made by Mr.. Packen-
ham TO submit the whole controversy to
the arbitrament Of some disinterested third
power, is further indication that Great
Britain does not desire arup,ure with this
country, and that she WILDE willing TO ne.
gotiate with view TO the adjustment OF
the question in manner that will be ad
vantageous to both countries.
The correspondence did not result in the
acceptance of any proposition, or any def.
mite arrangement, of the question, but it
evinces that desire for peace is sincerely
entertained, and SO long as that is the case
there is no danger of war. No good
cause for war exists, and if one shall arise
i, will be owing 10 the reckless course Of
unprincipled politicians.

SWAMP LANDS IN MISSOURI AM
ARKANSAS.

The Committee of Public Lands, 10
whom were referred the memorials from
the Legislature of Missouri concerning the
swamp lands in the south.e east of Missouri
and northeast of Arkansas have made
their report. These lands, it appears, com.
prise an area of about ninety townships
three-fifths of which are swamps. The
Committee think it would be impolitic in
the general government to enter upon the
work of draining them. and recommend q
transfer to the States of Missouri and Ar.
kansas, of the alternate sections in the
townships within the swamp region, which
are unsurveyed. for the purpose of drain.
ing the swamPs and removing the obstruc.
tons TO the navigation Of the ST. Francois
and Black rivers.
