On Monday, the 25th ut. Prince Louis
Bonaparte succeeded in effecting his escape
from the fortress of Ham, after n close inn
prisonment of some years. He assumed the
disguise of workman, and cluded the vigi-
lance ofthe sentries and guards. He pro-
ceeded at once to London, and arrived safely,
it is said, although no one had seen him. Here
he obtained a passport for Italy, and embark
ed for Florence, with the intention of seeing
his aged and dying father. 1t will be recol-
lected that some time ago he memoralized
Louis Philippe for his temporary liberation
on parole, offering his word of honor as Sc
curity for his return, but the prayer of this
memorial was refused.

We copy the above from the last Star, pub
ished as fling at the Wings. Well, the au-
thor of it was, it may be, Gov, Chittenden, a
political brother of the Star, after the last
war till few years since, when he died. He
refused to call out the Vermont Militia in the
last WARRIOR the author may have been Chas.
Lindsey, Mr. Polk $ newly appointed District
Attorney for Vermont and political friend of
the Star Scr perhaps, the author was James
Buchanan, Mr. Polk s Secretary of State, who,
with great number of Mr. Polk IS office hold
ers were bitter federalists in the last and
are so now;--or, perhaps Gov. Hubbard, of N.
H. getter up of the Hartford Convention and
the tallest supporter Mr. Polk has in N. Fl was
the author. The Star does not tell the author
and we venture the prediction that the toast
came from one of Folks friends, and perhaps
now one of the patrons of the Star. As to
this we can't say positively; but at any rate
il sounds very much like the toasts we have
heard many of the leading patent dem
ocrats of the present day gave in the
time of the last war-then ultra federal
ists--now, of course, good and consistent pat
rons of modern self-styled democracy, alias,ul

The Oregon Question in Pro-
gress of Settlement.

The proposition of the British Government
to settle the Oregon Dispute having been laid
before the Senate was discussed two days in
secret session, and vote taken to accept it,
II understood that the general basis ofthe
proposition is to make the doth parallel oflati-
tude the boundary between the territories of
the two countries, from the point on that par
allel where the present boundary now term-
mates, to the middle of the sound or channel
which divides Vancouver's Island from the
continent, and thence along the middle ofthnt
channel, and so Southwardly and WestwardIy
through the Sruits ofFuca to the Pacific; the
navigation of this sound or bay to be open to
both parties; and the navigation of the Colum-
bia river, up the main stream and up its North
branch, to the 10th parallel of latitude to be
free to the Hudson's Bay Company and Brit
ish subjects trading with that Company.
The vote is understood to have been for ac-
cepting, 3S; against l2-Benton, Calhoun, &c.
voting in the affirmative. For later news re-
speeding this subject, see under head of'Mat-
tiers and things in Washington.

above proclamation of the President of the United
States are believed TO contain the richest mines OF
lead that have yet been discovered; the ore yield.
ing about eighty per cent. Of pure metal. Copper
also, has been found in this region in considerable
Quantities.
Great advantages are said TO exist for the manu-
aeture Of lead in various forms, particularly into
shot, the river banks being elevated to require
little or no expense la the erection Of towers and
the ore, from It's great purity may be manufactured
into shot by the FIRST smelling.
The location Of these mines being near the Mis-
sssppi ryer affords great facilities of transpora-
uon, the average cost OF which TO ST. Louis is about
fifteen cents per hundred pounds The soil is rep.
resented being unusually fertile, producing all the
small grains in great abundance, and furnishing ex-
eellent range for eattle-thus presenting equal in
dueements TO the agricuturist and the miner.
The DURUoUE mines in fractional townships eigh.
ty-eight eghty-nine, and ninety, of range two east
situated on the banks of the Mississippi, eonsd-
cred the most important; the DURANGO mines i,
townships eighty-nine and ninety, Of range east
are the next in value; and the CArrEsE mines in
fractional township Lightweight Of range three east
also the river, are the third. Other mines have
been discovered in this REGION and il ID very proba-
bic that future explorations will bring TO light Others
rich and productive as any now known.
