/ III the House Of Representatives, the debate
was continued on the Oregon question--as it
4 probably will be for some days to come; and
with the full degree of interest which has been
3atlached to il from the first, In fact, may say,
the subject rather grows in interest than other
wise, as the discussion progressesian and new light
lis thrown upon IT; or new evidences Of national
feeling afforded, by the many able, or even me
diocre, speeches that are made upon it.

i strongly upon the course pursued by the admin
istration in the negotiation with Great Btitaln
