ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
Werepeat most enlphatically that the only line
Of conduct TO be feared by England is The plausl-

has since come upon them. Action has ensen-

have engendered commercial interests-lhal IS

calculation are beginning TO make Mr.. Calhoun

OREGON.
The article in The last number OF the Quarter
" Review, on The subject OF Oregon, is beginning
10 attract attention, now that the hubbub, arising
out of the Indian victories, is fast subsiding. The
gis, OF The article is 10 promote compromise,
and The reviewer would be content with the 49th
parallel
We have contended from the first that any fair
settlement of the dispute would be hailed with
avidi.y By the English people, in order II avoid
the horrible consequences which an appeal 10
force would produce; and The semi-ofiicial char
acter of the article 10 which We aude, embody-
| ing the feelings OF the great Conservative party on
| The subject, is csnfirmalory Of our views.
The arrival at Havre with New York papers
10 the 18th ult., brings the debates in Congress,
on this subject three weeks later than the previous
packet The ultra Oregon men appear 10 be
losing ground, and the general ieeling,oflhe coun-
try, as we'll as OF Congress, leaves little to apprc-

generally believed here that the dispute is vtu-
ally settled. We sincerely hope that this is not
an'assumplion but fact.

We arc, loo, in The midst OF the Spring season,
with sunshine and balmy atmosphere. Physi-

raising or depressing The animal spirits and

must be taken for what they are worth : neccssa-
ry lranslive, and often illusory.
The Tariff, like Mahomets coffin, is suspend
ed in mid-air, between the higher and the lower
powers but. pending its fate, more advantage is
being taken OF the Treasury order for liberating
goods from bond, on payment OF The reduced du-
lies. During the present week the receipts al the
Custom House have been larse-a tolerabe proof
that the commercial world think the Tariff will
ultimately find its way TO the statute book.
There has been somewhat serious failure
