which we make up the following summary OF
news:
The news which reached England Of the
first action Of the United States Senate and
House on the notice bill, caused great ma
ny discussion in the press and eminent circles,
but seemed 10 produce no part Of collision.
Thebellef gained ground that all apprehensions
of war are at an end, and that Mr.. Polk has
implicit confidence in the continuance of peace,
as he has made no preparation for a conflict

American Minister to Constantinople arrived

matt from this port.
The most important news relates TO the pas
sage Of the Corn Bill to a third reading by a
majority Of 80. This took place at A O'Clock
ON the morning Of the 10Th, after debate

eign Whent, under lock, and S95 ,0C0 barrels
of Foreign Flour, nearly all American. Dur
ing the six days preceding the 9th of May, the
number of grain laden vessels that passed the
Sound and Belt for England was twenty.
The grain trade, both in London and Liv-
erpool, since the departure of the Great Brit
am, has been exceedingly depressed, owing to
the discouraging accounts received from all the
markets held ON the Stb and 9th inst.

following important rumor:
at IS reported that twenty gunnsrs, two
SergeantS, two corporals, and two hombardiers,
under command Of Capt BLAcKwooD are to
be despatched by the British Government in
their war steamer, the Terrible, to Oregon
carly next month the vessel is to take an ad-
eluale supply sf guns and stores and 5000
cXcavators are TO be sent to the same destna-
ion with all possible speed. This force and
these men are professediy sent TO the Hudson
BAY Company's territory, but il would be use
less to shut our eyes to the fact that the bare
announcement of such an expedition, while
NEGOTIATION between the two Governments, is
calculated to produce no small excitement in
America amongst the parties who have been
striving so zealously to fan the smouldering
enbcrs into blaze"
