Sir J. Graham’sstatement was “within a brief compass. It is proposed to three provincial Colleges, one at Cork for »- South, one at either Galway or Limerick for the ‘West, and one at either Belfast or Derry for the North. The cost of establishing these Colleges will be about £100,000, and the annual Government grant ~for their maintenance is to be £18,000, being £6,000 for each.

The terms of the match were as follows: “the American Deer,”) in aone mile a few we since select- e ry , after a severe train- ing, to perform the match, the odds against time were con: ly reduced, and long before the start, yesterday morning, the betting was only 6 to 4 against Maxfield, with but ay few ers, The ground selected for the match was I mile on the high road between Maidenhead, which, considering 19 “turns” had to be taken by the runner to.complete the 20 miles, was supposed to be greatly to his disadvantage. From the im- mense sums which were d pending on the: result, the ground was strictly measured, and two chro- nometers were sent from town to ‘“‘ keep the time.” Precisely at halt-past ten o’clock, Maxfield (who ap- peared in beautiful condition, and in full confidence of winning) started, the word “ off” being given bi the int captain who backed time.

But Ee. Sesser ip uiverie an ob- ct 80 i 80 evident, and so recognizable upon the rudest map, or to the those unlettered com- prehension, that even the humblest member of the wide Republic has a decided and clear feeling on the subject. It is certainly a most unfair and igno- minious mode of reasoning and_ resolving interna- tional questions, to say that England is a country whose public take very little interest in foreign ques- tions, and of which, consequently, the Government ean make an: sacrifice for the sake of peace ; whilst blic of France end that of America are so keenly alive to questions of national territory and honor,that their statesmen cannot succeed in making even a compromise. Our quietly taking up sucha position, and admitting the validity of such argu- ments, would be not! Jess than an encourage- ment to other countries to ask and take everything from us, short of what was vital or momentous. From these reasons, having made a stand on the Oregon question, the Tory Government must feel bound to support its tions, not only by the mo- tive of the importance of the territory or the river in dispute, but on the still stronger id of support- ing the national character an Ail 95 Unfortunate- Wy, the past weaknesses and concessions of the Tory ernment render this more imperative. Had Sir Robert Peel followed a successful and dignified line of foreign policy hitherto, he might, without degrada- tion or inconvenience, have now contemplated concession. But having never made anything but concessions, he is now driven like a coward into a,corner, withcut an alternative save ated submis- sion or a stand-up fight, The fairest, the only set- tlement.of the Oregon, would be a division of the territory in dispute, and the Columbia river is the line of that fair division. The sole advantage which the Americans would ‘pain by fixing the frontier at the 49th degree would be to deprive us of the military and commercial acvatiaies of that river, the territory north of it being of small value. The river is, therefore, the great point. in dispute, and for all the of peace and trade the pos- session of one b suffices. To claim beth betrays belligerent motives, being the very last motives to which we should give Neither can it be said that England has belligerent views, because, in seeking to preserve half of the Columbia, she has ports turther north, where she may exclusively es- tablish fleets and arsenals. This is contradicted by our very fair offer to the Americans of a portion of ita onone side of the straits of F t : t ‘uca. There is another mode of settling the di fe, which seems to be favoured by no inconsiderab! ly in Ameri- ahs at ee is, pclating the Oregon be i peal lem territory, ant Fanteeing its lence. Bat the eaters who Sinde to thi do not well define it. Do they mean that the whole territory, from the Mexican to the Russian frontier, shall form their in- dependent State, and that England shall be excluded from any communication with the Pacific and Ca- nada? Asto the Americans, however upparently affected by the same exclusion, they would soon di- tect their efforts to California and, North Mexico, and this would act as a fresh incentive for them so todo. Such an abnegation would be unfair to the British interests, men, and capital already establish- ed in the region, ‘And, after all, what independent state, unsupported from Europe, could hope to pre- serve that independence againsta country which is so anecrupulous in annexation, and which employs the arguments which it does on the Oregon question. For the arguments of the entire press at present are simply these: E; has as good a right as we have to the Columbia, but our people have set their hearts upon it, and England must give way. _ In the meantime the position into one the po- ley a the expressions of the new President have ung tude and expense.

The English and Anglo-Irish journals. are felici- tating their readers upon the pacific character of the intel agence received by the Caledonia. We haye elsewhere made large extracts from the American» ournals, and the tone of the articles they contain, in our opinion, show that those felicitations are prema- iure, There is not one line of swagger or bragga- docia in these extracts; but there is not a single phrase which can bear the interpretation of hesita- tion, much less of shrinking. It is evident from them that in America they have counted the cost of war, They estimate their own resources justly, but they do not overrate them. They say that England can bring against America greater naval and military ar- maments than America can muster. They it that England may burn their seaboard towns, and im- mensely damage and destroy the property of Ameri- eancitizens. But they ask, if England wars with America, where’shall she get cotton for her mills and factories ? Will she condemn them to idleness, her tactory population to starvation, and her manufactu- rers to bankruptcy and the Gazette? England may war with America, but how. shall she protect her merchant ships from American privateers, which tn such a conjuncture, would swarm in every sea ?” These are the advantages on which, in case of war with England, the United States relies, and they are strong, powerful, and peculiar. Again, England’s power is scattered—her territory must be every- where defended, for it is everywhere vulnerable. American terriory is .concentrated—and American citizens are prepared to defend it to the death. This is an element which, in case of hostilities between the two pene, it would be impossible to over-esti- mate. e result of such a war would, if unsuc- cessful, leave England a crippled power, shorne of her colonies, conquests, and commerce. It would seriously, tearfully attect the progresslve prosperity of the States, -but her power as a nation it could not fempee retard. Nature’s God, more pow- erful than empires, has rendered that impossible. His seal is on that land, and she must be great. But apart from these difficulties, which England should in case of war encounter, America does not pass by the consideration of the “two nations” —“the rich and the r,” which, born on the same soil, regard each other with a distrust which the first war- shout would turn, perhaps, to active hostility. The first gun fired against America might raise the people against the ol: hy in England. Throughout ‘urope it would cause a war of democracy aguinst aristocracy, which, in the words of the Washington Globe, “ might add whole nations to Republicanism in a single oe While America reckons such chanees in her favor—while such elements, even on England’s own territory, war for for the States, she could not dread the day of battle, and she does not. It may well affright, not only England, but many other European nations. Hence the Tanga in which the American journals indul e Globe, from which we_ have already quot lhe acknow- tedged organ of the President and his Cabinet, cha- racterises the recent declarations in parliament re- wecting Oregon as ‘‘a ludicrous display,” “ for the lay,” it adds, “ has gone by when a menace of war on the part of England would sway a negotiation on the part of the United States.” Another jour- nal, not acknowledging the responsibility of the mouthpiece of the Cabinet, declares that “ no Ame- ican Government, will give up. Texas, and none dare give up the claim to every foot of Oregon.” The same journal assures us that “ there will no re- traction—no backing out—no recession from the po- sition, bold, independent, and resolute, assumed by the President.” The tone of the American govern- me nt, it adds, “is one of defiance, and the people unite in the same policy.” The Herald, from which we quote, admits that there ‘‘is a large portion of the commercial interest—the banking interest, and the stock-jobbing interest opposed to anything like war with England,” but their opposition would be ‘as fruitless as an attempt to turn the stream of the Columbia back upon. its source.” “And if war shall come, and that I be successful, what does she obtain? A territory overrun with rocks and forests. If she can colonise it, her colo- nists will inevitably be Republicans, and almost as inevitably be united with the States.

On the first, the singin, upon the whole, against America, that is against the pretensiotis put forth in the President’s “arangue, which excited such a striking demonstration in the itish Parliament, 5 pate The Journal des Débats, jSaengeiacioal ministerial ofgan, and which is unde: to. uk thte per- sonal sentiments of his Majesty Louis alippe him- self, has declared, in the most express and decided terme, that the demands of the American President tothe whole territory of Oregon, are unreasonable and extravagant; and it has intimated in, of course, comfaly weighed and cautious terms, that in the event of a rupture between and und America, the sympathies, if not the actual interference ot France, would be with England. A The Globe, another ministerial organ, peculiarly under the control of M.Guizot, Minister for Fore: Affairs, has also warml: y rebuked what it calls arrogant pretensions r. _ La Presse is, like the Globe and the Débate, ot Conservatiye principles, but it is opposed to the sent Ministry, and is remarkable for its bitter ostility to the entente cordiale. But even the Presse has declared, on more than one occasion, that the demands of the Government of the United States to “the territory of Oregon are not sustaina- ble.” The legitimist, republican, and violently radi- cal newspapers, have notenterd intoa serious exami- nation of the ely bntthey Bavedenlained pinay inst le ion, mst her pride, haughti- nbs, ord apatite ebieicn, pa all that sort of thing. As, however, they sing exactly the same thing every day of their lives, Tam not disposed to attach the slightest importance. to. what they say. The Constitutionnel, which is the organ of M. Thiers, has said very little indeed on the question, and that little was to attack the Ministry for its fifi sumed leaning to England, to “the prainaice of an ancient and a faithful ally like the United States.” Thus, then, you see that as far as the press goes, the pole feeling of this country is in favor of Great ritain. I am well aware that if all the tirades against that country were to be set by the side of those in favor of it, the former would be im the majority ; but then it must be borne in mind, first, that the jour- nals which make the most noise do not represent the opinion of serious and reflecting men, and next, and above all, that-in the two Chambers they have either no-party at all, or a party which. isin a miserable minority. In the Parliament itself, of course, there has been no discussion on. the Oregon question, though one or two opposition members, with, perhaps, more zeal than discre- tion, have endeavored to provide one. From all I have read, seen and heard, my opition is, that inthe event of a rupture between (reat Britain United States, the sympathy of the King, Govern- ment, Legislature, a ares add, of the majority of the people of this country would be with England, partly because they would think that justice would es on her side, but principally be- cause their policy has been, is, and will, no doubt, continue to be, t! preservation of a cordial and inti- mate alliance between Great Britain and France. If an outbreak unhappily takes place, France would, no doubt,maintain a strict neutrality; but if that neu- trality should become impossible, then, I believe, she would deem it her duty, interest and Policy, to rally herself with England rather than the U. States. In saying this, you must bear in mind that I speak on- yee present state of the political horizon, and rom a belief that nothing is at all likely to occur to change it. After all, however, the speculation may be a very idle one; for the general opinion seems to be here, especially since the last advices from New York, that the Oregon question will be satisfactorily arranged. : On the Texas question the same state of feeling has not been exhibited. The majority of the press applaud annexation, apparently from no other motive than the belief that it is disagreeable to Great Renney Nee seinistitial rel ceanery anit journs ave not en decidedly against it, though it is “impossible to »say that they opprove of it.

Affairs as they are—State of this section of the Repub- lic—Annexation — Competition of the Neighhors, Since I wrote you last,I have been to Tobasco and Merida. The former place I had not visited before for three made. would do honor to a Northern city, and they have and Ussemasinta rivers. In fact, every thing wears the aspect of enterprise and activity, but the great drawback is the want of water on the bar. Howe- ver, that difficulty is somewhat surmounted by a par- ticular class of vessels being sent there to take ad- vantage of the trade. _ Merida presents nothing new to the eye of a for- reigner ; it is pleasant to sojourn there fifteen or twenty days, for in that time one can see all that there 1s to be seen. The principal business is alto- gether in the hands of the natives; and what is ex- traordinary ; there is not, to my knowledge, a sin- gle Yankee a permanent resident there, aed you now that they are proverbially every where, parti- cularly where there 18 anything to be made. In some of my. excursions into the interior last winter, | was particularly struck with the circum- stance of finding Frenchmen in almost every village, but rarely an American, and they were generally thriving and industrious persons. One thing is in favor of Lepeee pet acquire the Spanish lan- with much greater facility than the Americans or English, in consequence of the structure of their age being similar. ‘ en_we first received the news of the bill an- nexing Texas to the United States having passed the two Houses of Congress,every Mexican whom I met in the streets accosted me, “que dice Bennett—hay guerra?” (What says Bennett—is there war?) So. you will perceive, that you are known here as well as where the English | is spoken. In fact, I have read your paper in the palace, at the “ Ruins of Palenque,” and at the time i indulged in a wide stretch of the imagination, but I will not tire you by committing my reflections to paper. We had quite a number of French vessels here for a short time last winter, and business appeared to be looking up, but now it is as dull as ever. Logwood is high and scarce, and the place is completely over- stocked with goods of sor description ; some of them will not sell for enough to pay the duties; in- deed, I should be sorry to take them for nothing, and subject to the latter alternative. You are probably aware that goods once entered here must pay the duties, as there is no such thing as debenture known. I have been told from good authority, that there is an effort making at Campeachy and Merida toclose the port of Laguna, but I hardly think it will suc- ceed. It has, however, been closed to importations twice within tha last six years—the object of this measure is to make Campeachy the medium through which all goods, destined for Laguna, must pass; consequently they are re-shipped from the former jace to the latter in canoes, at a ruinous expense ; ut unless a revives, I do not perceive the ne- cessity for such a movement, at least for two years. ‘There are three vessels now in port—one English and two Americans—the Ava, Capt.

In this way only the stock would be likely to bring its fait rkct value at the time it was offered for sale, And alone could it be known that it was fairly and honestly sold, and that it was not purchased in for the benefit of the pledgees by some secret understand- ing between them and the purchasers.
