FINAL ACTION ON THE OREGON
QUESTION IN CONGRESS-,

Congress has at length made a final dis.
position Of the Oregon subject, and in a
manner which, next to having retrained
from any action at all, will receive, We
doubt not, the general appreciation of the
country.
The two Houses Yesterday settled their
differences in regard to the form ot autho-
rzing notice, by adopting with Two un-
important changes in the phraseo'ogy, re-
commended by the conterees) The Pream-
hle and Resolution of the Senate. These
changes consisted simply in substituting
the words "all proper measures" for ",e-
npwed efforts" & The word lad djustment"
for the word "settement," These changes,
il they affect the sense OF the resoIut on at
all, strengthen rather than impair the force
ofthe Senate's original proposition. Thus
reported, the recommendation Of the con-
ierees was agreed to by the Senate by a
vote of 42 to 10; and hy the House OF Re-
presentatives by the very decisive vote oI
lac to 46. The resolution has finally
passed both Houses, therefore, and is III
follows:
"WAEREAs. by the convention conclud
ed the twentieth day of October, eighteer
hundred and eighteen, heIween the Uni
ted States Of America and the King Of the
United Kingdom Of Great Britain AID he

not he thought so creduous as to believe
that the world abounds with such peoples

Ike sense OF curious wonder awakened by
tidings Of spotted boy, the horned wom-

marvel that Nature, in her sport of idle

man who has never known sickness has,
we fear, a very iueverential notion of tha
deliCacy, the subtletes OF his anatomy and.

The man who has never owed a shilling

Of the horrors OF debt, and NAV look on
