whether TO believe it-that Mr. CAss has actually re-
ceived the offer OF the situation from MI Polk and
that he is coeitating whether his prospects VIII

Judge WOODBURY., of the Supreme Court IS said
10 be one of those from whom the choice is likely TO
be made / understand that Mr.. WOODBURY. has
expressed his willingness 10 serve
The general opinion seems 10 point TO Mr. Mason

Mr. Secretary WALKER is also talked OF as the

minutes at his Office every day, and that some nier-
chants have been detained here for weeks waiting
for an interview which it is impossible for them 10

A day or two will bring these doubtful SUPPOSE

The late foreign news is looked upon here as
highly propitious TO the maintenance OF Peace.
The only true course Of policy 10 be pursued by the

Notice being given in some form or other lmme-
diaely. liza settlement is TO be made without war,
the late news proves that now is the time. Ii We
are to have Free Trade in exchange for Oregon, we
may as well know il now as hereafter. Besides,
every days delay adds TO the bad feeling, and
prompt action is necessary TO stop the spreading In

The opinions of several E nglsh papers are given
10 prove that the Notice is a war measure. To de

But the following from the Manchester Guardian OF
December cath, seems TO embody the patriotic and
moderate views of both sides of the water. l be-

STEP like that OF giving notice for putting an end TO the

When both Governments know that the alternative
is an arrangement in year, war; they will see that
there is time be lost in useless discussions and will
probably hit upon some compromiae to which both can

Among the arrivals at Coemans this evening is
Mr.. ROBINSON of Cincinnati. II this be Mr. Robin
son of the Cincinnati Enquirer, it gives pausblity
to the rumor of Mr. ALIENS having made q move
to establish paper of his own faith in politics in this
