understand the fact 70 be, that the argument
made through the medium Of several gentle
men at Washington, and which we announc-
ed perhaps two months ago, but which was
returned BY the uncourteous manner in which
the offer or arbitration was rejected, has now
been recognised and confirmed. The forms
OF diplomacy viii be gone through with at
Washington, as we presume--ior the formal
negotiation has never by our Government been
committed TO Mr. Mclane, though the gener-
OTIS confidence existing between him and Lord
Aberdeen has doubtless enabled him to render
important aid in bringing the controversy to a
favorable issue.
The President, we have reason TO know, is
ready and win be prompt to accept the terms
stated above, and the Senate not less prompt
in confirming what he does. Let the dogs of
war bawl and 90 to 54 A0--the prey has es-

TIE OREGON QuEsTtoS.-We copied yes
tarday, from the Journal Of Commerce, astate-
ment that the Oregon question had been set
tied in London. The Liverpool Mercury, of
the 10Th inst, had Paragraph that a distinct
proposition fo- settlement had been forwarded
from England by the Caledonia and that there
was no doubt it%0uld be accepted. We CO

Washington Union Of last night thus disposes
ofdcm:
The New York editor may spare his re-
Dukes upon our government journals for we
can hear nothing OF this settlement IN England,
or OF these dispatches by the Caledonia. In

them. Il is further our impression that Great
Britain will make no offer until she hears OF
the disposition Of the question OF nouce by
Congress. The procrastination which has
marked our counsels, has probably had its ct,
feet upon the British policy. lfCongress had

might by this time have witnessed much
more decided and cheerful state of our relations
