The news is not of leading importan Co.
American affairs has been made more the
subject Of discussion in II c interval since our
previous advices than they had been during
the few preceding weeks, the text OF mos, Of

OF the Oregon notice. The movement Of

the Rio Grande, seems to have been watched
with some attention, and the probability of an
armed contest between this country and
Mexico, is alluded to by several papers.
The House of Commons had been occu.
pied by the corn bill until the 14,h, when f,
was passed to third reading by majority
Of %. The discussions as to It's fate in the

DO moi present any more tangible grounds for
the formation Of opinions than we're furnish.

Government for the settlement ofthe Oregon

empowered to bring the controversy to a
prompt and final issue"-save what NAV
