THE OREGON NOTICE.
The question of whether or not the President of
the United States had given the notice respecting
the JOINT occupation of the Oregon territory to the
British government having formed a subject of
controversy in the English and American press,
we have the satisfaction of stating, upon the high
est authority. that such notice has been given.
and that the Great Western carries out, on her
present trip. the answer of the British govern
meht. winch we have reason to believe, is of a
conciatory and friendly character
THE RECEPTION OF THE MEXICAN
NEWS IN ENGLAND.
The news from America by the Cambria stea-
mer is Of startling importance. The United States
have declared war against Mexico, and the first
conflict of arms has taken place, in which the in.
vaders have been beaten. The Mexicans do not
choose to be robbed of their land without defend
Ing 1t TO the last extremity and the robbers find
ing their possession and their claim disputed, re-
sort to the open warfare. May God defend the
right. Ii this war does not facilitate the amanci-
patton upwards of three millions of black slaves
we are much mistaken, and shall be greatly dis
appointed.
we refer our readers TO the intelligence from
Canada, which will be read with the deepest in

ut the measures of her Majesty's government, and
Lord Catchart has avowed his apprehension that
the new tariff will divert the trade of the upper
province into channels perlous TO public credit
In short, the Canadians are in state of dstrac-
non, and employ language in the Assembly, and
at public meetings, which savors not of indipna
nation merely but of resistance
who can be astonished at this, seeing what is
now the insane policy of the mother country =?
Protection is declared to be an eyil-the parent
repudiates the child The free trade in corn
mast lead to free trade in every thing else and
me ports OF our colonies must also be declared
free and open to all nations. manufactures can
only prosper under the blessings of other haryess
Than our own, why should not the owners of
English land, and the industrious classes who
cultivate 1t, be permitted to import all foreign
manufacture duty free2 Why is the malt tax
and widow tax continued, when the foreign corn
grower is permitted to sell his produce in this
country in competition with our own heavy-taxed
cultvator? II is monstrous injustice TO exact these
taxes IN these circumstances. We cannot under
STAND how corn is more a necessary of life than
sugar; and yet the latter is loaded with duty
from which the former is to be relieved. The
colonies have the right to demand free trade in
every article they produce-sugar, coffee, and
even timber. The custom houses must be pulled
down, or no Justice will be done to the people of
England.-LiuerpooL Mail, May 30.
