Foreign News.-By the steamer Co.
haoMia, which arrived at Boston on the
2Olh instant, we have news sixteen days
later from Liverpool The news may
be regarded as pacific in its tone. The
public sentiment in England seems to
be that the Oregon question should be
settled on the 49th parallel.
The most important intelligence by
the Caledonia, is the success of the Bri-
tish arms in India. The Sikhs have
been defeated, with loss of about H.
600. The chiefs, it is said, in conse-
quence of their defeat, sued for peace,
and consented to pay million and
half pounds sterling in the course of four
years. The commander-in- chief and
the governor general, for their services,
are to be elevated to the peerage.
The insurrection in Poland has been
suppressed, and the the poor Poles
doubtless doomed TO a tenfold more
wretched condition. 1t is said they had
many sympathisers in Europe, and that
considerable sums of money were sent
to them from different cities to procure
arms, but alas, too late. We trust that
their spirits are not yet broken, and that
they may yet regain their liberties

their performance was highly crcdi,ablc

Mcxico.-Wc have received no news
from this country By the la!c papers Of
any interest. At the latest dates. the
army Of occupation WAS at Ma,amoras,
expecting constantly the commencement
Of hostillics. There is scarcely doubt
that we shall have "a brush" with the
Mcxicans; affairs have arrived at that
point which renders it unavoidable.
The country is still in a very distracted
and unsettled condition, and but iily
prepared to embark in a war. Over
lures have been made to the British for
assistance; but no aid will be obtained
from that source; and Mexico must rely
upon her own resources. The next
news from this quarter will be looked
for with great interest.
