Remarkable revelations.

The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Courier and Enquirer holds the follow
ing language with reference to the copy Of the
Oregon Treaty, published by US yesterdayD-
Ne~ albany (Ia) Batetin.
"No doubt now exists that at the time when
Mr.. McLune forwarded the conditions which
have become the basisof the treaty, he strenu-
ously urged the Government not to accept them
as they were by no means to be considered as
an ultimatum, but were rather to be taken as
an act Of courtesy in opening the negotiations.
II would therefore seem strange at the frsi
blush that the Senate should so suddenly have
recommended the President to accept the trea-
tythus protfered.
The reasons were however, and such we nn-
derstood to have been assigned in the recent
discussions, that we had every thingito fear
from our weak, wick,d and ambitious Execu-
tive, but nothing from Great Britain. The
Senate after witnessing on the part Of the Pre-
sident o series Of inconsistencies Of a charac-
ter to destroy all confidence either in his capa-
city or integrity, were afraid to trust the sub
ject back to his hands, after they had once got
it into their own. Hence they adopted the
treaty, which is not as favorable as EngIRnd
has once before offered, and by no ma
much 50 as might have been obtaiheu iad
there been a man at the helm Of our Govern,
ment, in whom the Senate could place conf,
denee.
The correspondence communicated to til,
Senate doubtless surprised them. They learn
ed for the first time that Mr.. Polk did not.be
lieve in our title beyond the 49th degree nortI
latilude-that he was very anxious that tn,
Senate should extricate him from a difficulty
in which his d~uplicity had involved him-tha
he and Mr.. Buchanan, while crying aloud 70
the whole Of Oregon this side Of the water, an,
had rejected all the terms Of settlement propos
ed by Mr., Pakenham, had been insttucting MI
McLane TO induce the British Government Il
offer terms Of some kind or Of any kind, whicI
should open the door fora settlement. Amongs
documents known to exist is n written b
Mr.. Buchanan TO Mr.. McLane, endeavoring t
prove that we reach no title beyond the 49t
/ parallel, and urging the Minister to get an o.
, fer up to that point if possible.
> The developments have excited a great DE-
gree of feeling against Mr.. Buchanan, for til
part he has taken in the matter, and should h
+ be nominated to tho vacancy on the suprem
5 Bench his confirmation is very doubtful, A
organized opposition Of considerable numbet
0 and great violence, already exists against hi
: in the Senate.

--latest from Tabasco,

We have been politely furnished, by Capt. J.
P. Levy, with the following verbal information
in relation to Tabasco, from which place he ar
rived yesterday. He left there on the 10th ult.
Capt. L. states that just before he left Tabas-
co, news had arrived from Pechucalu, the sub
stance Of which was that that departmenthad
declared for Santa Anna and Federalism, in
conjunction with several other departments,
and that Governor Belches and other mem
reyolutiOnisia by profession, for the chance Of
what revelation brings them--were at the head
Of the revolt. On the 18th ult, the command
ant Of Tabasco, Gen. Palose, left with all the
forces he could raise-a hundred and fifty Of
two hundred men-in the steamer Patrita, to
put down this revolution, Il was generally
thought though that they would join the disaE
fecled, andrai il keeping il up, as they hat
been in Ta5asco without any pay or provisions
except what they levied from the merchants
few days previous to their departure, To sucl
straits had they been driven that D. Manua
