We learn from Wilmer and Smiths European
Times, that incidentally the state ofthe relations
with America was brought unoer the notice of
, the House Of Commons on the evening of the
/ 10th. Lord John Russell made a poiIfed allu-
sion TO the subject, and in doing so, dellrered

terms:

Towards the close of his speech on the corn

pursued, against some oboquy, some miscon-

1t would appear by the following, however,
that the British government are not willing to
trust 10 appearances, but continue to take pre-.
caniiopary measures:
Il III is reported that twenty gunners, two
srrgeants, two corporals, and two bombardicrs
under the command Of Captain Blackwood
are to be despatched by the British govern

Oregon early next month the vessel is to take
an edequate supply Of guns and stores and
three thousand excnvators are To be sent TO the
