ADDITIONAL FOREIGN NEWS.

We have not yet received out own flcs Of Eng
ish journals by the Cambria; but we are indebted
TO the columns of the northern prints for the cop-
Gus extracts we have made this evening. Among
these the queens speech, some Of the debates
in Parliament the Oregon question and the corn
laws, and the sketch of M. Guizots remarks on the
Presidents message in the French chambers.
We are more strongly confirmed In the impress
mons which We expressed last evening of the con-
cliatory and pacific tone Of the British government
and Of the press. The Queen regrets that "the con-
Acting claims Of Grea, Britain and the United
States. in respected the territory the north western
coast of America &C., still remain unadusted" but
che assures Parliament "that no effort, consistent
with national honor, shall be wanting (her) part
to bring this question to early and peaceful ter
mnation." We hail this good sign; and the
language of our Secretary Of State in August last,
and the 4th Of the present month, fully recpro-
-scs this conciatort sentiment. The British premier
F.peals the wish in his own speech, in still stronger
language. He declares that he has 'no hesitation 10
announcing our sincere DESIRE for the interests OF
this country, for the interests of the United States
and for the iatercsts OF the civilized World, In contin.
uing 10 strain sbers effort which is consistent with
national honor, for the purpose of amcably termi-
mating those disputes" He regrets that Mr.. Paken-
ham SO promptly rejected Mr.. Buchannh's offer
and thinks thai il would have been better for him to
have transmitted it to the home government for their
consideration" For, "iffound in itself unsasfac-
tory, it might possibly have formed the foundation
for farther proposal" Sir Robert Peel goes on to
say, that since that period England has repeated
to the United States tho offer of referring the matter
10 arbitration" The spirit In which the premier
speaks is another good sign. Whether he will direct
The negotiation to be continued with new offers, as
soon az he ascerains the fate Of the arbitration
only speculate, but of course cannot ascertain.
Pakenham. These are all good signs; and still
further, the wise and liberal scheme of the British
government to relax, and perhaps rspsu their corn
laws, and bind the two countries more firmly in
peaceful relations by tbs strong ties Of commercial
interest. Yet again we must repeat--we must no,
b too confident IN tho result. We should not re-
lax our policy in the least, blu, 60 to give the mo-
lice, extend our laws to the country beyond the
Rocky MOUNTAINS, and prepare for enlargement,
