The Foreign News-Reception or the Notice
RESOLUTIONS.
The news from England which we published ex.
cusively yesterday morning, although but one day
later in political view is of an important charac-
ter. The remarks OF the leading London journals
on the refusal to aIbitrate on the Oregon question:
what we expected. 1t was no more than they
expected and the Chronicle says that there are ma
ny reasons why arbitration should not have been
accepted. The correspondence satisfied every one
that arbitration was entirely out Of the question: and
II was considered that that point being settled
progress had been made, although slight, towards
bringing the matter 10 more limited focus.
The notice resolutions. as they passed the House
OF Representatives, received in London on the
morning OF the fourth of March, and had the effect
10 depress the funds Consols fell off upon the
strength OF the news from America. The refusal
TO arbltrate, and the passage OF the resolutions
giving the twelve months notice, in the lower
house of the American Congress-, although
expected by many, was considered rather
warIike than otherwise. We shall probably receive
by the steamer, now nearly due, something more
definite TO the effect of tie advices received from
time to time in London from this country, in rela.
uon to this question.
Nothing of pacific character went out in
the steamer OF the LIST OF March, but on the con-
trary, the fiery speeches Of the war party in the
Senate; and we cannot, therefore, expect any very
pacific news in return by the steamer of the 10Th
nit. The steamer OF the 4th OF April will, without
doubt, bring something more favorable and more
Notwithstanding that will give US some idea of
the course this question will take and the complex
ion IT will assume. The speeches of the compro-
mise party in the Senate, will have reached Lon
don before the 18th inst, which, in connection with
the movements made by Mr.. McLane, will doubt
less produce very pacific feeling in the govern
ment and press of Great Britain We shall receive
by the steamer ofthe 4th inst the effect OF Mr.. Hay
woods speech in the political circles of London,
and we anticipate il will be of the most favorable
character, as il will neulraze that produced by the
war party.
Nothing OF any importance had TRANSFERRED In
commercial affairs in England since the departure
of the steamer OF the 4th of March. The markets
were firm. Money was tight, and an advance had
been realized cotton and corn. The political news
from this country absorbed public aention, and the
anxiety manifested to bring the difficulties between
the two countries to speedy and amlcable settle
ment, was very great. In the face of this feeling,
which exists this side to great an extent as
the other, there appears to be disposition in the
Senate to put off coming TO the vote on the no.
tce resolutions as long as possible. Ii was
once understood that Friday, the Sd instant,

ment in the premises, and govern themselves &C.
cordingly. There is deplorable absence Of mora
courage in such legislation, to which we may at
tribute great deal OF the delay and doubt that have
had such an injurious effect upon our commercial
affairs.
The only point settled in this matter, after all the
negotiations all the debate, and the consumption O
four months of the session of Congress, is that
laton to arbitration. That is out Of the question
and probably will not ever be revived. AT this rate
progress, the whole territory in dispute will be
populated by emigration and the question virtually
settled by the people, before the two governments
arrive at any satisfactory arrangement,
