HE NAVIGATION OF THE COLUMBIA.
The LONDON TMEs.-That the tone Of
the London Times, and of the British press
generally, is more pacific and conciliatory
towards our government, upon the Oregon
question, than heretofore, cannot be denied,
but although in the most eloquent strains
they depict the dreadful consequences Of a
war between England and the United
States, and seem to regard such an event
with all the horror that it is calculated to
inspire, yet, they tenaciOusly cling to opin.
ions, and assert claims which our govern.
ment can never admit without compromis-
ing its honor, rig hts and interests. They
assert claims, which if not relinquished by
their government in the adjustment of the
Oregon question, must eventually lead to
those consequences which they seem so
sOlemnly to deprecate.
In his message to Congress the Presi.
dent in speaking of the Intellectual attempts
which had been made to ad Just the Oregon
question, declared: "The right of any for.
eign Power to the free navigation of any
OF our rivers, through the heart of our
country, was one which was unwilling to
cOncede." In this declaration he echoed
the will of the great body of the American
people. When they form treaties admit
ting to foreign nation, which regards our
own with "a spirit Of rivalry, and which
seeks by every method to limit the expan- |
sion of the area Of freedom, the free use of
our navigable streams so that they can bear
their engines Of destruction in the very
midst of our people, then indeed win our
government have reached a perilous brink |
Ia crisis almost threatening its destrue-
ton. For thus viii they furnlshthose who
desire TO arrest our progress to the goal Of
national glory, the means wherewith to &C
complish their purposes. The American
people, 50 long then, as they correctly ap-
preciate their rights, can never, in the Ian
yuage Of the Executive, eOneode to foreign
Powers the privilege ofIhs fres navigation /
If their rivers. Yet What is lhs language

We have alluded to il in another column
" Commercial Reform" is an able paper

MExIco.-From the New Orleans pa
Pers of a recent date, we learn that the
Mexican authorities had incarcerated the
American Consul at Matamoros, ]. P.
Schatzell ESQ.,, Ona charge of correspond.
ing with Gen. Taylor at Corpus Christi,
and that the bearer of his dispatches, who
was Mexican, has been shot. This act
OF the Mexican nation, has added another
to the long catalogue Of injuries which she
has inflicted upon our government, and for
which we hope she will be compelled to
atone. The United States government,
because of the weakness and insignifi.
canoe Of Mexico have submitted TO her
repeated insults witha degree of orbear-
ance, unexamPled in the history of indie.
pendent nations, which instead of causing
cessation of grievances, seems to encour.
age her to commit new acts of aggression.
Under these circumstances we believe that
The United States will be compelled at last
to inflict upon her that punishment which
she has so long provoked.

TExAs.-A bill has passed both Houses
Of the Legislature Of Texas, ceding to the
United States according to the resolution Of
Congress, all of her arms, barracks, navy
and navy yards, public edifces &c.
The nomination Of VOlney E. Howard,
as Attorney General was rejected in the
Senate by small majority. A cores
Pondent Of the New Orleans Picayune
states that the objections to his nomination,
were based upon constitutional grounds, as
he was amember ofthe Legislature and re.
signed his post.
A bill is before the Senate, declaring
that the people of Texas will cordially sus-
tain our government in maintaining its
rights to the 'chOle of the territory of Ore
gon. The patriotic spirit which actuated
them to throw off the yoke of Mexican Op.
preston, and establish free and indepen-
dent government, will nerve them to the
defence Of the rights of that nation with
which they have voluntarily linked their
destiny.

Applicable Interference.

| AAOOA
The March number of the Democratic
Review contains an able article written by
the Hon, Caleb Gushing, which should
command the attention Of every American
reader. 1t is a review Of the causes which
have induced England and France to in
terfere in the affairs Of the Republics of the
River Plate, and which have led those
powerful nations to unite in waging war
against the Argentine Confederation. II
is important, because, whatever pretext
those nations may assign for interfering in
the affairs Of the South American States,
yet it is but the application of the same
doctrine relative to the "balance Of pow
Ell" proclaimed BY Mr., Guizot with refer
ence to the affairs Of North America.
The author has'proven by an array of
facts which cannot be successfully com.
batted, that, although France in interfering
in the disputes between the States above
alluded to, may have exercised a right
founded upon treaty stipulations, yet, to ac-
complish the purposes which she declares
as the cause of her intervention, she has
adopted an unwise policy. In regard to
the interference of England, he has shown
that she has acted unjuS,ly and arbitrarily
that she was actuated by spirit Of ri.
valry towards France, heEally in contend
ing against State which has sought to do
her no iniury-that she has assumed privi-
leges unknown to the laws of nations, and
is attempting to exercise them by force of
arms. This has ever been the policy of
that nation. When di plomatic tact has
failed, she has increased her means of
wealth by resort to arms. In the pur.
suit Of wealth, neither the principles of hu-
mainly nor the laws Of nations have inter.
posed barriers which she has not over
leaped.

cess which has attended the armies Of the
allied powers, we doubt not they have al
ready found the experiment of holding the
" balance Of power" in South America,
and debating terms to the gallant citizens
of the Argentine Confederation, far more
difficult and hazardous than they supposed.
Instead of quietly obeying their behests,
they have offered bold and daring resis.
lance. And although we cannot with rea.
son even cherish hope that victory will
perch upon their standards in cOntending
against the combined forces of two Of the
most powerful nations of Europe, yet, we q
ire confident they will teach them how diff
'ult is the task of carrying out the policy /;
# Mr.. GuizOi, and probably cause them to /
bandOn his visionary scheme. .
