About o'clock this morning exclusive and
extraordinary express reached the office Of the New
York Herald with later and highly important lntslli-
geDee from Europe.
This intelligence was brought over the Atlantic
by the splendid express Paeks'-ship Yorkshire
Captain Bailey.
She sailed from Liverpool on the 5th Of March,
and was boarded of the east end Of Long Island
distance ninety-seven miles from Sandy Hook-oy
the famous clipper pilot boat Thomas II. Smith, al
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The Ssitzerand had arrived out with the Oregon
notice resolutions that had passed the House Of
Representatives. They increased the war feeling IN
London.
The RnEinh and French funds were depressed III
consequence Of the news from the United States.
The relations between England and the United
States had increased the bulk Of the dispatches for
the Governor General Of Canada, and also for the
governors Of the other North American provinces,
which sent of on the ID ultlmo from the Colo
NAL office.
Mr.. McLane, the American minister, had boon
prevented from dining at Sir Robert Peel's in conse-
quence Of continued indisposihon.
The Paris papers Of the ID ult. entirely barren
Of news. They chiefly occupied with the pro-
position now under consideration ofthe Chamber Of
Deputies, respecting the navigation Of the rivers Of
France.
In private letter Just received from officer IN
India, he observes that, independently Of those who
fell in the late engagement there were 1000 Of the
Sikhs drowned in attempting 10 cross the Sutlej.
Madrid papers Of the oath ult, have been re-
ceived, but they contain no news. The three per
cents closed at - at 60 days; the five per cents at
% 1916 for the 18th Of March; and the debt, with
out interest, at u at go days.
From the London Times, March
The news from America, published this morn
ing took the city completely by surprise, and pro-
duced fall OF almost | per cent. IN Consols from

day. The closing price yesterday for the account
was 90. TO 81, and the concluding price Of to-loy
&c. 10 /, but they were done at 95.. With the
exception Of this very marked effect, It has Leen
unusually difficult to collect detail any opinions
respecting this news. People here are mostly DIS
posed TO regard the whole continuation Of that
tone of bravado which the House Of Represe ntau.s
under the auspices Of the President, Mr. Polk, has
hitherto maintained and TO hope, herefore that tho
same feeling Will not be exhibited ia the Senate.
But the most Anxious question discussed here to-
day has turned upon what course Is likely To be
ken by our government, should the notice 10 oban~
don the Oregon territory be actually given; that Ia,
whether such notice would be followed by i'm
mediate hostile manifestation, or whether that
would be reserved I'll the twelve months had ex-
pired. From observations that have dropped from
Sir Robert Peel 1t rs enormously inferred that, in
however courteous IA manner this notice might be
conveyed it would be resented; and therefore the
feeling which the news has produced was on the
whole, very uneasy one.
The London Sun Of the 4th March expresses tho
opinion that the desire for territorial aggrandioe
ncut is general in the United States, and adds:
POLK is carried with the stream, and all that
England has to do is to look to her own INTEREST,",
and take care that her rights and possessions
not destroyed by the humiliation. Hitherto she has
displayed the utmost moderation and forbearance,
whether we look to the government, the legislature
or the press. cav
'rWith the exception of a very few hasty articles
in the English newspapers provoked, possibly, by
that tone Of defiance so loudly proclaimed by mem,
bers in both houses Of Congress, scarcely ono
ground of provocaton can beturged by the Amer
lean government. In the history of mankind it
would be impossible to point out a nation more
anxious than the English are at the present moment
to remain at peace and more especially with Amer
ca If the last resort then must be assented to, we
have here, as on the banks of the Sutlej, right on
our side van .f.
"Snce writing the above, we learn, by another ar
rival from New York, that the proposition to give
notice to England that the joint occupation of the
Oregon shall cease in twelvemonth, has been
adopted by Congress-, This ia only what was ex-
pccted and therefore cannot materially alter the po-
ston of affairs
