SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN.
The Steamer Great Western, Capt. Matthews,
II days from Liverpool, arrived at New-York on
the 9th ult Her news is of little importance
Parliament had adjourned for the Easter holidays,
and there had consequently been no discussion of
the Oregon Question. The Corn Law is to come
up Immediately after the meeting of Parliament.
The Cotton Market was rather irmer. Iron was
on the decline.
We make our extracts principally from Wilmer
g. Smiths European Times
THE OREGON QUESTION
The article in the last number of the Quarterly
Review, (noticed in lastl on the subject of Or
egon is beginning to attract attention. now that the
hubbub arising out Of the Indian victories is fast
subsiding. The gist of the article is to promote a
compromise, and the reviewer would be content
with the 10th parallel
We have contended from the first that any fair
settlement of the dispute would be hailed with avid
ity by the English people, in order to avoid the
horrible consequences which an appeal to force
would produce and the semi-offical character of
the article to which allude, embodying the feel
ings of the great Conservative party the subject,
is confirmatory of our views.
ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES.
We repeat most emphatcally that the only line
of conduct to be feared by England is the plausi-
billties involved in the LdiSSez alier system. The
clear perception of this has made us true prophets
and Mr. Calhoun formidable antagonist.
1t is the right policy for Americas 1t was so from
the first 1t was only exceptionabe on the score of
its being uninteigible When first promulgated,
the feelings of the people and the preudces of the
people were against it. The North was distrusfu,
the West ambitious. change has since come
upon them. Action has engendered reaction that
is one thing. Free Tariffs have engendered COM
mercal interests that is another
+ The true appreciation of the apparently pacific
position of England has engendered valuation of
the chances of war as well as of the blessings of
peace - this is the third and best point. One with
another, these elements in American calculation
are beginning to make Mr.. Calhoun Ineligible
even in OHIO and Missouri.
The only policy formidable to England is Mr..
Cahoun's; and it is formidable simply because it
encourages the natural nonchalance of Great Brit
ain. The Hudson's Bay Company is a strong COM
pany, so strong that it consists Of the stronger sex
only.
The American squatter takes his wife with him.
The child follows. The different character of the
immigration will make all the difference in ten years
hence Ledre Il till then. SO says Mr.. Calhoun
and tor Malthusian American he says rightly.
The sine die policy is Mr.. Cahoun's. Can we in
England meet it? AT present we are the strongest
within the Oregon: or illustrating the Distinction
within the rules, the constabulary is stronger than
the thievedom.
But let the thieves multiply o. what will happen
then? Just what Mr.. Calhoun reckons on--an I'M
equal battle tenyears hence. The sine die doctrine,
II ever admitted III England, must be met with an
antagonlstlc one-the pari pdSSu policy. What
they DO in the way OF immigration, let us do like
wise
The "a 40 doctrine is a mere stakng-horse.-
FdcitiS deScenSuSit is an imaginary point of right
created Tor the occasion OF making the appearance
OF descent. by letting themselves down from a
fictitious position, the Americans take the credit Of
making concessions.
Mr.. Calhoun's speech has had the effect of re-
dnclhg the question to It's generatles. The sense

upon the ATTITUDES AZ and "a 40" Latitude enough
