From The Pennsylvania.
OREGON

We publish to-day the recent correspondence be-
tween the governments OF the United States and
Great Britain, as olso the letter of Mr., McLane in
relation 10 the warllke preparations now making by
Great Britain. II will be that the last states IN
so many words what we said on the same subject
some time since, that their preparations had refer
enee more 10 her defence at home than 10 any for
egn war, though IN a case Of difficulty they could
be brought TO bear effectively al any point
| The propositions Of Mr.. Pakebham to submit
hrst, tie question of the division of Oregon, and
thea that OF utle-to aTbIiraors, is only, what MAS
| proposed once before, and Was met, as we think
very properly, on the part OF our government by a

II is ~ be settled, il will have to be done by the
same powers. We had enough Of arbitration in the
reference of the northeastern boundary line To the
King of the Netherlands.
We expressed an opinion some time since that
Great Britain would, and still think she will, make
new propositions for AN anicable adjustment of the
matter, more likely to be acceptable to our govern
ment There are difficulties in the way Of peace
able termination OF the disputes yet we have strong
belief that way will be found TO overcome them

negotiations may be renewed at any moment. But
IT. at last we have to fight for our rights, we viii do
1t the less vigorously -none the less cheerful

GEN JACKSON ON NATIONAL pEFENcE-The lesson
of wisdom inculcated by President Jackson in his
annual message to Congress pending our difficulties
with France should not be forgotten at this time by
the representatives of the people, and all who hope
for an honorable yet peaceful result Of our difficult
ties with England. What can be more appropriate
to the present crisis, than the following extracts
from that message;
81 submitit, then, to you" he remarked, "wheth-
er the first duty we owe to the people who have
confded to us their power is not to place coun-
try in such attitude to be amply supplied
with the means Of defence to afford no induce
ment to other nations to presume upon our for
bearance, or to expect important advantages from
u sudden assault either our commerce, our sea
coast, interior frontier. In of the COM
mencement of hostites during the recess of Con-
gress, the time inevitably eapsng before that body
could be called together, under the most favor.
able circumstances, would be pregnant with dan
ger, and if we escape without signal DISASTER or ma.
onal dishonor the hazard of both unnecessarily in
CURED could not fail TO excite feeling of deep re-
proach. earnestly recommend to you, therefore, to
make such provisions that in no future time shall
we be found without ample means to repel aggres-
sion, even although it may come upon us without a
a note Of warning"

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Patriot writes follows concerning the opinion OF
the British Admiral Seymour, concerning war with
England
"One ofthe evidences that England is not going 10
war with about Oregon is to be found in the fact
that none Of her naval officers believe it, Our late
charge d'affaires to Lima had friendly conversation
in that city few months ago, he informs me, with
Sir George Seymour the commander Of the British
feet in the Pacific In that conversation, Sir
George, who is brave, elear-hesded man, that has
seen much service and had half Of his face shot
away in battle, informed Judge Bryan that England
would not and could not go to war With the United
States about Oregon, and that the British admiralty
had not thought ofit!n

FRANCISCO CRESPO.
From the British Packet OF Dec. 10.

Nothing in official shape from the Anglo
French commanders on the Parana, with respect TO
the battle of Oblgado, has yet to hand but the
Montevideo journal, Notwithstanding their habiual
mendacity, afford evidence enough that there
was nothing exaggerated in the report Of the Ar
gentine general. II is acknowledged that the fire
lasted nine hours, and that several vessels Of the
combined fleet were completely riddled with shot
including the purloined Argentine brig San Martin
under French coors, the British brigantine Dolphin
and the French steamer Fulton, And though
great anxiety is evinced make light Of the loss
suffered by the "ales," from the number of officers
allowed to have been killed, and the wounded kno WI,
to have been landed at Montevideo Martin Garcia,
and Colona, it is evident that it must have been
very severe. BE this it may it is clear that the
resistance opposed by the batteries of obligado
against such overwhelming odds, was in the highest
degree heroic, and such as England nor France,
sngly, ever met with before since the last general
peace.
Could 1t be for a moment supposed that Messrs.
Ouseley and Deflauds were acting in obedience to
positive orders from their respective governments
when they blockade the port of the Buceo for the
purpose Of starving out the army of President orbe,
and occupy the towns on the Oriental coast IN the
hope of reducing the Interior it would be necessary
to conclude that the same "lamentabe want of in
formation in South American affairs" exists now In
the highest quarters when the absurd instructions
| to General Whtelocke were drawn up.
On the 9th Of November the government Of Bue-
nos A yres issued the following decree;
"Art. l. The vessels and cargoes, to whatever ma
ton they may belong, which have entered the riVer
Parann under the protection OF the English and
French armed naval forces at whatever part Of the
coast of this province, Of the coDfederated prov
inces Of the litoral of this river they may arrive,
shall be captured and declared lawful prizes. If the
capture be made by private individuals, both vessel
and cargo entire shall be adjudged to them after
summary trial.
"Art 2. The captains and crews Of the captured
vessels shall be SUMMARY tried and punished pi-
rates by the authorities Of the province on the coast
