proposition for the settlement Of The Or.

The STATE OF THE OREGON CUES.
TIoN.-The New York Herald. of the
Gath ult., has the following paragraph :
The oregon Neg Citation Resumea.- =
We have seen private letters Of high an.
thorty from England, stating that the
Oregon negotiations have been resumed
and that a new proposition has been
sent out 10 Mr.. Packenham, TO be pro-
posed 10 our Government. 1t is also
stated that this proposition is Identical
with the one proposed in the London
Times Of January Sd, which we give in
lhi> days paper. 1t is certain that The
London Times was the first paper in
Europe which revealed The fact. that Mr..
Polk had offered !he 40lh degree last
summer--thus showing that it had nc
cess to the cabinet secrets Of the British
government to that extent. We believe
the plan of settlement which that journal
now sketches out will be renewed in
short time, perhaps this week, by Mr..
Packenham, at Washington.
