NEW YORK i y, December 21, 15454) Now Vork, Suu = ‘To Country Subscribers. Subseribers in the country, receiving their papers in a yellow cover, will understand that their term of sub- soription has nearly ex) The Oregon Negotlatic The intelligence which we have already « the negotiations between England and the States, on the Oregon question, had been re-opened by Mr. Pakenham, is confirmed by the accounts and inferences received, both from London, by the laat steamer, as well as by every letter from Wash- aited ington. Doubts may be thrown over the statement, | but we have the strongest reason for believing that it is substantially correct. e The remarks and inferences on the subject, pub lished in the London and other English journals, and received by the last steamer, all coneur with the information we have already given relative to | the question. Immediately after the termination of the negotia- tion, and the withdrawal by Mr. Buchanan of his proposition of the 49th parallel, the whole ofthe cor- respondence between Mr Pakenham and Mr. Bu- chanan, was sent by Mr. Pakenham to Lord Aber- deen. By some delay on the part of the American | Government, the same intelligence was not sent so early to Mr. McLane, in London. awkwardness which he experienced when called upon by the British Government, and the dissatis- faction which he expressed in certain letters to the United States, which were alluded to in various newspapers at the time. On the arrival, however, of the instructions to Mr. MeLane, he re-opened the question with the British Government, acquainting them with the pacific disposition of the Government | of, this country, and their wish to be furnished | with a fresh proposition through the British minister at Washington. The various cabinet councils held in the months of August and September last, in Lon- | don, had reference to this question, and to these ne- | gotiations, as much as to the opening of the ports The matter 1s now at Washington, and the stste- ments which we have already given of several in- terviews having taken place between Mr. Paken- ham and the American Secretary of State, are cor- rect. Atthese interviews, more than a week ago, which were informal in their nature, the parties merely compared opinions and endeavored to find out what new terms might be treated upon, and how the correspondence would commence. ‘This correspondence was re-opened again, according to the best information, on Wednesday or Thursday last. Ol this there can be no doubt, for the source of our information is connected with the British embassy in this country, and not with the Presi- dent’s Cabinet. Tt is true that a few days ago, on the first publica tion of the intelligence in our colamns, severa members of Congress culled on the Secretary of State, making the enquiry whether such negotia- tions were re-opened ; but at that time noghing offi- cial between the two functionaries had taken place; and if there had, the announcement would uot have been made by authority, until the termination—not even by the “organ,” leaky as it is, if it should speak on the subject. We are positive, therefore, of the accuracy of our inform tion on the subject of the re-opening of the negotiations by Mr. Pakenliam, under instructions lately received by him from Lord Aberdeen; and the probability is, taat a new principle of compro- mise will now be agreed upon between the two go- vernments, and the question will be settled in less than three months, unless, indeed, the opening of negotiations with Mexico, about California, have some indirect etlect upon the question of Oregon. In the mean time, while the negotiation is going on quietly ut Washington, sub rosa, the war of words among the press end politicians of both coun tries, and the general panic in commercial affairs, goes ahead with great foree and momentum. Who wants his head broken? Cauiner Cnances—We have received intima tions from 80 many different quarters, and from the highest sources, respecting proposed changes in the Cabinet, that we are constrained to give them some faith and belief ; but to what extent, we ere yet too much in the dark to know. Itis stated with the utmost confidence by those who ought to know, that Mr. Walker wishes to be- come a candidate for the United States Supreme Court, and that as soon as the Cubinet can be re- organized to suit the wishes of the President, Mr. | Walker will be nominated by the Presideat for that high office. Another rumor is, the entire recon- | struction of the other portion of the Cabinet, by sending Mr. Buchanan to Paris, the introduction of Mr. Marcy to the Treasury, the appointment of Mr. | Calhoun as Secretary of State, and Mr. Benton as | Secretary of War. These rumors, however, seem extremely contra- dictory and repulsive to each other Mr. an’s position in the Cabinetis very strong, talent which he nas exhibited thus (ar in the Oregon negotiation, shows him to be eminently qualitied fo the post he holds. He has also a prospect of finish- ing the Oregon business, and accomplishing a m terly negotiation with Mexico. We are dispose therefore, to doubt the accuracy of the rumor of his | being sentas Minister to Paris. Again, the introduction of Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Benton, who are rivals, competitors, and personal enemies, into the same Cabinet, would seem to be almost an impossibility. There may be a corres- pondence between the President and Mr. Calhoun ona variety of subjects other than the recomposi- tion of the Cabinet; but we shail certainly wait for further and more positive information, and that from undoubted quarters, before we ean eredit all the changes that have been indicated. Orgcon Mission ar Wasninoton.—There are four distinguished citizens of the Oregon Territory now at Washington—Messrs. White, Brown, Sax ton, and another whose name we have not heard. Mr. White is a delegate from the Provisional Go- | vernment, and has published several numbers of a brief und graphic description of the Oregon Terri- tory in the Union. The other gentlemen have also published a sunilar description, of greater length, in other journals. We understand thut these voyaguers left Oregon @n the let of September last. A deseription of their J ourney would be very graphic and interesting, equal to any thing in the narrative of Lieutenant Fremont We learn that they were robbed by the P. aad other Indians, when all their property consisted of a knife in their coat pockets, and the prospect of a thousand miles of travel before they would reach 4 civilized country. awners ——____ Navat.—U.

Heis noteven the “ organ” of the Ex- ecutive, end so he now acknowledges. * And | the best proot of this fact may be seen in his past | course last summer—in his utter ignorance of the views and movements of the Executive—not only | on the Oregon negotiation—but oa several other | is too leaky and too vain for his present position. He cannot be trusted with the secret movements of the goverament, either in foreign or domestic poli- cy. He is like an old empty cider barrel, which has been in the sun for weeks—it will not hold water. Yet he can be freely trusted with certain thi with the resolutions of the Balumore Conver as he was for forty years the residuary legatee of the | famous resoiutions’of "8—during his Virginia ca- | reer; but thag is the extent—no more. In fact Mr. | Ritchie does not “burn incense to men in power ” He has his hands full in burning incense to himarlf and im correcting the errors ef the “* Washington seribblers.” This is his duty, and for this he has been elected printer to Congress for two years, a po- sition worth a least, at old prices, about $150,000 per annum, with a profit of $50,000, to be divided | between him and Major General Heiss, making their net income $25,000 a year, equal to that of the \ President himse!f—and even that of the proprietor | of the New Vork Herald. This is independence, principles, and poetry, and papcombined. And thrice | was this off-red Mr. Ritehie last Christmas, as the crown was offered to Caius Julius Cesar—but thrice it was not retused by the Caesar of democracy. Thus, now, the printers to Congress, by our aid, | and with the supplyof reporters educated in bur oflice, are fairly under way. Hereafter, Mr. Ritchie will stick to prinesples and pap, but will no more be con sidered the organ of the administration, ot whose | movements he can know nothing, and never could, | | because his head was always too fullbethis own | eventful history. Neither will he meddle with Pre- | | sident making for that period of time. ‘The real in- making of Presidents, must be looked forelee. where—perchance in the New York Herald.

Mr. Gallatin, in reply to a letter addressed to him by Mr, Coles, states in substance, that “he has uo recollection of any ‘sch matier, viz; the measure intended by President Madisen, of not suflring the navy to go to sea, for fear of beeominga prey to the British trigates.” To this letter, and the rea- soning it contains, to show that no such measure was in contemplation, Com. Stewart makes a long | and diffuse reply, and undertakes, as he says, “ to prove to the world that we are not mistaken; that — we have not beeu some thirty years concocting a piece of romance,” &c. One of the arguments of Mr. G. it was not ditlieult to overthrow, and the Commodore has here brought his guns to bear with | stmoke—we mean he is too diffuse and wandering. Mr. Gallatin, reterring to a law of Congress, mak- | ing a large appropriation for the navy, tivmphantly | concludes “that 1t cannot be supposed that Congress | intended to lock up the navy, when it appropriated solarge an amount for sea service.” The Commo- | dore almost annihilates the ex-Secretary on this ar- gument, which, if reduced to plain language, is in | eflect as follows: “that because ( ongress created | a navy, therefore the executive never, at an after period, conevived the idea of keeping it in port”—a | Imanitest and palpable non sequitur : 3 The Commodore, xtter disposing of this point, though rather too verbosely, goes on toepeak of Mr. Gallatin’s alieged proposition to employ our ships of war in the detence of the port of New York, which, it appears, that gentleman no longer recollects, an refers to the batteries ag sufficient defences.

Townsrno Hannts, Esq., of the 9th ward, remonatrated against the road, as dangerous to the 2 8 U3 He also stated that there were 4,000 remonstrants against the rood, whose uames and residences had been evtered on petitions and sent to the board. , Eeq., on behalf of the remonstrants, granta privilege to lay rails through the pnblic vilege to lay rails through any of the public ets of this city, without a legislative exsctnent ting that privilege—thst in the case of the Harlem tailroad, such enactment was first obtained, ing the city the power—which enactment had not been obtained in the present case. Ho argued that the logislature was the first place to spply for this privilege, and when its assent was granted, then the Common Council could concur or reject—that the right then existed in the own- ers of property on the line of route, who could demand and obtain assessment for all injuries received by them by the establishment of a railroad. He also argued that the streets wore not the property of the Legislature nor the Corporation of this city, but that they were constructed by the property holders on the line of the street, whose assessments had paid for such construc- tion; and th.t since the act of 1807, the Corporation pos. sessed no interest norright below Art street, except a | trust interest as a trus’ estate ; and that the fea simple was vested in the property holders alone. He therr briefly alluded to the sole centrul of the street, thus to be conferred upon a bt~ tgp’ to the mjury of private conveyances, and possible diversion of busines s to other streets, trom that cause. That the complaint against the omnibus system was confined to the spac. be- low Chambers street, in Broadway, and not on the point through which this road was to piss. He concluded by denying the r'ght of the Common Council to gravt such privilge, without the sanction of the ey geotee| and the a(ter assent of property holders on the line, on payment for damages incurred. De Wirr Broonceen followed for the applicants of the road, by expressing hia astonishment and surprise, that in this rail road pe any body could object to the establishment of a rail roa’ in this city or through it, and concluded by asserting his belief, that this road would be of great and incalcnabie benefit to the whole eommnnity. Mr. Bioomrix.o followed, and srgued that the loss of life on rail toads was one toa million; and, alsa, that other American cities had allowed the introduction of rail roada; and, therefore, this city should follow in the train. E E, Came, for remonstrante, denies the affirmation of loss of life cn rail roads, and cited the ‘at bad been killed on tho Harlem Rail Rond, running through this city. He also stated, that in ench of the cities named by Mr. B., strenuous att mpts had been made to remov« the roils, thr ugh public meetings held for t He also state, that Hudson street was tw ‘gued that the gitructions in tho Bowery, when building ma- terials wére placed inthe street,was such, that carriages had diMiculty in passing, when two rail road cats were abreast, and therefore, in a street of the dimensions of , Hudson street, the passage would be almost impossibio. Mr. Srxvensox, of tho 16th ward, denied that any city had allowed a privilege to u rail road, merely to transport pastengers from one end «f the city to another, and aixo that the construction of the Harlem Railroad on the 4th Avenue, had retarded the improvement of that street #8 wos evident from the tardy manner in which houses bad been constructed upon it, The committee then aj-urned,to meet again on Fri day of next week.
