A Officially with England.

A difficulty has arisen on the Pacific Coast
respecting the seizure, by the U. S. Troops,
OF the islands in the Straits of Fuca. which
islands are in dispute between the U. S.,
and Great Britain, The Island of San Juan
has been occupied by Gen. HARVEY, and Gov.
DOUGLAS, the British Commander, has sent
considerable sorct TO resissGhs movement
The islands in Question are of great import
ance to us, be0Rse they have excellent har-
bors, in which oM Northern Pacific Coast is
very deficient. The principal islands are
San Juan and Lopez. The former is fifteen
miles long and seven broad, and has Two
excellent harbors. The latter is opposite
and not far distant, and has one perfectly
safe and land locked harbor We extract
the following information on the subject from
the correspondence of the Journal of Com

still, it was questioned, and we yielded
perhaps Yielded too much. In the present
case, also, our title is questioned. The
| Boundary Commissioners could not agree
upon il, and the two governments to which
they respectively referred did not agree.
Therefore, it seems that our government
has solved the question by forcible seizure
and occupation of the principal island, San
Juan. The payement will provoke Lord
| Palmerston, 6f whose mettle we have had
some proof in former matters. AT one crisis
in our disputes with England, we should
have had war, had not Lord Palmerston
retired from the Ministry. This was declar-
ed by MIR. Rives, of Va, in the U. S. Senate,

Immediately concern Yet, so it is. Al
most daily we see persons moving painful

and joints rendered rigid by disease, to
whom the penetrating and laxative unguent
invented by Professor Holloway would be
worth its weight in diamond duet. In the
Russian hospitals, it has superseded every
other external remedy for rheumatism.
Nothing else, say the French surgeons en-
ployed in those institutions, seems 10 have
the slightest effect on the terrible forms Of
the malady which exist in that inhosptable
climate. The results of its use in thus coun-
try are, we are assured, no less satisfactory.

these functional arrangements, we pre-

is the theory of the distinguished inventor
of the remedies, and as it is consistent with
