SWITZERLAND AND THE UNITED
STATEs.-A private letter from Berne
announces that Dudley Mann, esq.
sent by the u. States Government to
Berne, as Diplomatic Agent and
Minister Plenipotentiary presented,
on the IL of July, his credentials to
the President ofthe Federal Council,
His arrival was received with extra
ordinary Joy bv Che Government, the
Press and the People of the Helvetic
Confederation.
On this subject the writer says:
"T'he Switzer has kind oi wor-
ship for the United States. If he
leaves his country he goes to Amer
ica, where he is sure to find that lib
erty whic he loves, and to which he
bows as to an old friend. Mr.. Dud-
ley Mann is the same diplomatist to
whom President Taylor had entrus-
ted the difficult mission of giving to
the unfortunate Magyars a fiaternal
reception in the family of ma ions, if
he could see q favorable moment of
acknowledging their independence
The sending Of tie same Mr.. Dudley
Mann to, Switzerland, at the mo.
ment when this country is surround
ed by perils-threatened, perhaps,
with complete REORGANIZATION,
shows evidently that the United
States have determined to continue
the same policy, and to follow the
new way which tfey have underta-
ken, and which will lead them to the
highest destiny.

the emigrants, were hanged in the
early part Of May, in the presence of
alarge numbe of spectators, among
whom were many ST those who had
suffered fromtheir savage brutality.
Withrespect to the gold discoveries
our accounts are very conflicting,
and we scarcely know at what con-
clusion to arrive. New towns are
springing up in all quarters, and spe-
culation is rife. Platma is said to ex-
istto a very considerable extent in
some of the newly discovered gold
regions,
A good deal frain has fallen du-
ring the last month. The brig Port
land arrived at Portland on 25th
June, the Eliza at Astoria on 24th,
the Tarqum sailed from Portland on
26th June. We arenot in possession
OF any late number of the Oregon
Spectator than the 18th June, which
contains no news. We understand
that the proprietors were unable to
