Highly Important from Washington.

WARRINGTON, Feb. b, lS46.
The pleasing duty devolyes upon me tonight, Of
communicating 10 the county, through the
columns Of the Herald, the important intelligence that
Lord Aberdeen, through Mr.. McLane, has inform,
ed this government that the passage Of the notice
dissoving the JOINT occupancy OF the.Oregon terri
tory, will be highly acceptable to him; and further
more that England will not. and cannot take any
offence at which il 10 the right OF the United
States to do at any time, in accordance with the
provision of the treaty, relating to the same This
puts to rest the panic makers IN both Houses OF
Congress and elsewhere, who, with view to de-
feat the Presidents measures, strove to impress
upon the public mind, the idea that war with Eng
land would be inevitable, if the notice should pass.
Here, then, is end TO all this humbug so well
performed by few men, who want all the credit
and honor in the country for being what none
but themselves imagine them to be-the Sir
Oraces of wisdom and foresight. The doc
trines, therefore, of the message are the only
correct ones In regard to this matter, which tho
instruction OF the people led them to recognise alike
with the President, the true plan OF operation to
pursue in this controversy. The President mas
been nght-the people, in supporting him, have
been right-the politicians alone, who can scarcely
ever see beyond the boundary OF their respective
localities, alone in the wrong. All opposition
TO the passage Of the notice must cease; the instant
it is known to every one here on Sunday next.
through the columns of the Herald, the only paper
that gives correct account OF what the government
is doing, and IN this It Is tar far ahead OF the
Union.
No attempt may now be looked for at negotia-
tlon until after the passage OF the notices. and then
believe Mr.. Pakenham will propose terms for tho
final and amicabe adjustment OF all difficulties be-
tween Great Britain and this country. He may
have received new powers for this purpcse-and it
is my belief that he has, and when the proper time
shall have come they will be offered to our govern
ment in a spirit of Cancellation and compromise
but they must not embrace provision to secure tor
Great Britain the right to any portion OF the terrific
ry south of the 49th parallel. Upon this point our
government is irrevocaby fixed, and no power, or
force, fear OF consequences, can drive them from
that position.
The Presidents iepee, last night, was one of the
most brilliant affairs Of that kind that has been
seen within the walls OF the White House. All the
Cabnet-the whole OF the diplomatic corps nu-
merous attendance OF military and naval officers,
and vast conccurse of Congressman and citizens
of every political hue and complexion, thronged to
suffocation the east room, reception room, and adj
joining parors, halls and passages. verify believe
there was scarcely biped IN Washington that was
not there except the gingerbread and cake genera
ton, that refused 10 attend on account OF learning
that Mrs Polk had forgotten the advice gave her
in my account of the last eUee, to provide those re-
quisite daintes. Although the crowd last night was
ten times greater than on the former occasion
owing, of course, to the castigation which gave
to the absentees for their want OF attention to Mrs.
Polk-there was not the least disorder confusion
to be seen any Of the departments for keeping the
habiliments. Congress ought TO make special
appropriation tor supplying refreshments on such
in consequence of the oppressive heat of the rooms
Success to republicanism, say we, 1t never show
more hauteur among Its vOtarles than was seen at
the Presidents last evening.
The Hon John Quincy Adams gives splendid
entertainment to. night All the leading Oregon
men Of both parties will be there. Having to write
this epstle, 1t will not be IN my power to atend,but
l may refer to it more fully in my next ARIEL.
