From tho Liverpool Mercury, Feb.
The latest intelligence from America will be
found in our compendium. Though not very de-
cisve ia liz character il is decidedly more pacific
in its tendency-at least 80 fur this, that the re-
solutions Of Mr. Allen, utterly repudlat,ng the inter-
ference Of European nations IN any question OF
American politics. had been rejected In the Senate
and the motion for giving notice TO Great Britain OF
the cessation OF the joint occupancy Of Oregon had
been deferred till the 10th ct February. The pro-
jected change IN the commercial policy Of Great
Britain has evidently produced sanitary effects In
abating the war mania, and suggesting the reason
abeness and advantages OF further consideration on
the part OF the Americans, before blindly rushing
into iwar, which, however il might terminate,
would unQuestionaby be attended with conse-
quences most calamltous to both countries, and
most Injurious 10 the cause OF clviz alton aud hu-
lnanity Throughout tho world. We believe; that
perfect freedom Of trade will be the most efiecmal
means OF inducing both countries to keep the peace.
Let US be only good customers to each other, as
we may be, and ought long ago to have been, and
we shall never dream OF gong to loggerheads about
Oregon or any other question.
