FIVE DAYS LATER FROM
EUROPE!


The steamer Great Britain arrived at
N. York on Friday morning, 29th from
Liverpool, having sailed on the 9th ult,
thus bringing Intelligence five days later
from Europe.
The Times of the 9th, refers TO the in
ordinate proIixity Of the American debate
upon Oregon, as proof Of the empty and
factions character OF the cry by which the
American claims have been supported
The worst consequences of this long dis
cussion is said 20 be that it "suspendS all
negotiation" aud that upon a question in
which the utmost promplltnde and decis-
ion ure required. Intelligence from this
countrv'to the 10th ult was received on
the 7tll, via Havre. 1t embraced the news
of the passing of the notice in Congress,
which, OF course, was regarded as the
event of chief importance. The daily
papers all comment upon it, Generally,
il is now regarded as a belligerent measure,
nor does there seem TO be any marked
apprehension of war as result. The
Morning Herald thinks il likely enough
that the American Government is disposed
10 renew negotiations, and thinks that the
GLORIOUS success of the British arms in
Asia, was of considerable importance TO
calculating nation like America" In short,
the Herald thinks that there is chance
tha, the question will return TO the posi-
ton il held some months since. Ii thinks
from official statements, that the Americans
are not able, in the event of war, TO take
Canada, and closes its article thus:
We wonld advise them TO look nearer
home. and, while their Imagination is
running upon the plumber of rival nation,
LET them take heed for New York. The
Terrible, the Retribution, Cyclops, and
other steam (rigates, would be rather I'M
welcome viSilantS in the United States
capilol, if they came in warlke guse.
But. as we hive already said, we do not
anticipote immediate war; the present
resolution will, without doubt, end. in a
renewal OF negotiations. How those nego-
iiations themselves will terminate depends
in great measure upon the continuance
ofSir r. Peel in office II England sub
mils determination, at the hand oiapoS,ate
rulers, at home, bullied, she undoubtedly
will be abroad" H.
The Times thinks that the form in
which the resolutions passed is extremely
dignifed and becoming aud looks upon II 4
as a triumph Of the moderate yer the
mira party. IL closes its comment with
the following declarations;
"Thus far, ihen, and in more respects
than one, the American notice materially !
improves the prospects Of speedy settle
ment. Ii recognises, in general terms, the
basis upon which alone such a settlement
can be attempted, and, by putting an end
10 the period Of Joint occupancy, u prepares
ms 10 maintain TO the fullest extent the /
rights we derive from present occupation.
Whatever be the faie Of the provisional
treaties. we presume that no one will con-
test that the rights and interests which,
have grown up By their protection and !
authority ore sacred, both under The letter I
of those treaties, aud under the original
rights 10 which we now revert ~ oil their !
f,Tce. Our position as claimants upon an /
up,ounl footing with fhe .. States for tie 4
arli,,on 81 lhe whole ternIory 10 dispute
$ rather strengthened than weakened by
.he ahogalion Of the treaty. aud we cannot
dot,bl that ne ministers Of the Crown viii
be- resav. aud up0nt the Tecelt oftlre notice,
irmly AID explicitly 70 declare 10 The Cab
met At Washington what those rights are
which they have long been resolved aud I
prepared 10 maiuiain" Every incident
which has occurred in the course OF these
discussions hes more and more fully con-
vin-od rs fhai whilst a c0mprOmlse IS
necessity, and, indeed, our own statement
n onr claims Suggests a division. 20 sur
.ender 81 those claims can be hlismpied.
