effect, it has been unusually difficult 10 col

news. People here are mostly disposed
10 regard the whole as continuation Of
that tone OF bravado which the House Of
Representatives under the auspices Of the
President Mr.. Polk, has hitherto maintains
ed; and to hope, therefore, that the same
feeling will not be exhibited in the Senate.
But the most anxious question discussed

should the notice to abandon the Oregon
territory be actually given-that is, whe,h-
er such notice would be followed by am
immediate hostile mamie station, or wl,eth-
er that would be reserved till the twelve
months had expired From observations
that have dropped from Sir Robert Peel,
il is enormously inferred that, in however
courteous a manner this notice might be
conveyed, it would be Immediately resent

news has produced was, on the whole, a
very uneasy one. s.
The London Chronicle Of the 4th Of
March has a long article on the subject u

the British proposal 10 arbitrate the Ore

| Important intelligence from New York,
containing an outline Of the official CORES
pondence between Messrs. Pskenha,n, on
The part Of Great Britain and Buchanan
and McLane on that OF the United States,
has presented The subject in new light.
England, in the eyes OF Mr.. Buchanan,
presents a military aspect; so much 81,
that America is justified in inquiring into
its real character. Hereupon instructions
are given to Mr.. McLane, who puts the
question frankly TO Lord Aberdeen.
The Chronicle then proceeds TO give q
summary relation Of the correspondents,
as heretofore communicated TO Congress,
and winds up by saying
at present il is, perhaps, sufficient to
infer that arbitration is extremely improb-
able, and that the President persists in a
war policy two facts Of which the signif-
cancy is self-evident. ~

Polk is carried with the stream, and all
tht England has to do, is 70 look to her
