From Oregon We have dates to Sept. II.
The only item of particular interest from
that section is an account of the wreck of
the bark Oriole-- which will be found on
our Grst page. This is the vessel Incorrect
" reported last week as the "Oro."
We compile the following from our ex-
changes.
We will have to exercise our patience
for some time longer with regard 10 the SO
luton OF the Eastern question Although
the compl, Xion Of the affair was decidedly
more warike, no definite result had been
come 10. Delay seemed TO be the chief OBJ
ject of the Emperor Nicholas, and his every
day acts were at total variance with bis pro
fessons of peace. The uncertainty arising
from this delay was producing the most se-
rious agitationS in various portions of the
Turkish territory Our London correspou-
dent assures us that "a war is fully expect
ed in England, and that the people, at least,
wish for it,"
Late advices from Ell Paso, Mexico, state
that serious encounter recently occurred
at that place, between party of Americans
and guard Of Mexican troops, in which
the District Attorney Of FL Paso county,
Texas, was killed, and another person Sc
verely wounded. The cause Of the out
break was an attempt by the Americans to
rescue returned Californian from prison,
where he had been placed by the Mexicans
for some offence. The Mexicans were re-
ported 10 be armed and drilling near the
American town of Paso, which was consid-
ercd in the greatest danger.
The statement that Col. Gadsden, our
new Minister 10 Mexico, had been instruct
ed 10 consent TO the REIMBURSEMENT of the
Garay claim to the right of way across the
Isthmus of Tehuantepec, is doubted in well
informed circles in Washington, as is also
the assertion that this government is willing
to accept, as an equivalent, free route for
a rail road along the thirty second parallel.
The general impression is that the admins
lration will await the reception of the off
cisl information collected by the different
parties engaged in exploring the country for
a rail road route to the Pacific, prior to COM
milting itself to any particular line, either
in our own or Mexican territory.
Great excitement was created among the
colored population of Cincinnati, on Tues
day last, BY the arrest of fugitive slave
claimed by Mr.. Mills, Of Kentucky. A
hearing was had before Judge Mclean
The evidence was strongly in favor of the
claimant, the negro having himself acknowl-
edged that he was the property Of Mr.. Mills,
The attorneys for the defence based their
arguments upon the nconstitutionality o
The law but it was of no avail. The Judge
upheld the law, and ordered the slave into
the custody of his master, by whom he wa'
conveyed TO Kentucky.
Ills reported that information has beer
received fiOm Judge Sharkey, the American
Consul at Havana, which corOboFated L
the fullest extent the statements published
in this journal concerning the recent ar
rangements between England and Spain fo
the abolition Of slavery in Cuba. Thi
matter has not yet been acted upon by tht
Cabinet.
The details of late adviccs from Mexico
are given elsewhere. 1t is said that th'
government Of that country were taking
active measures to protect their frontiers from
the Indians, the United States governmen
having failed to comply with the treaty o
Guadalupe Hidalgo in the matter. Th'
subject is to be submitted 10 the cabinet a
Washington. The rumors of sn alliance
between Mexico, Spain and England ar,
positively denied. An epidemic resembling
yellow fever was committing fearful raVage
in the capital of Guerrero.
} The accounts Of the ravagcs of tho yel
low fever at New Orleans are still frighdu
10 contemplate. One hundred and seventy
f four persons died Of the disease on Monday
{ and one hundred and ninety-cight on III,
day following. During the same perio'
, Thirty y-nine deaths were reported from othe
causes. The fever also prevailed at Mobile
{ but the Board Of Health Of that city doclar'

GoI the relief Of the New Orleans sufferers

all the principal cities and towns Throughout

It tappeais that other gentlemen than Mr.
Dix are now talked Of for the vacant pos
10 France, although Mr.. Dix's prospect
ovorshadowed all Others till within shOr
time ago. Recent developments, it is tho
have materially tended TO induce the admin
. istraIion to look about for some other rep

Our special correspondent at Washington
