He iscalled | the * Lion Pianist,” tue ‘Napoleon of the piano- | forte.” the “ King of Piano Kings,” the “ great mu- | sical spirit” of the age.

Ia the midst of such a warm Washington to the latest moment. This we shall @ive in to-morrow morning's Herald. The letter bags of the pilot boat close at eleven o'clock A. M. The Oregon Cri According to the best information from all quar- ters, the Oregon controversy has reached its turning point—leading, on the one hand, either to years of peace and prosperity; or, on the other hand, to years of excitement and war. Here it is—mark it. Mr. Pakenham has received fresh powers from | his government, to offer to the United States the 4%h parallel, or nearly the same which Mr. Bu- chanan offered him last year—also arbitration, if the | tormer be rejected. | Up to our latest dates, Mr. Pakenham was waiting for an informal and unofficial reply from Mr. Bu- | chanan, whether the American government would | accept those terms, before he (Mr. Pakenham) offer- ed them in a formal shape. : | Mr. Polk and his Cabinet were deliberating | whether they would accept such alternatives, or fall | back on the “whole of Oregon or none,” down to 54 40. This, we believe, was the precise position of this | important controversy, up to the latest dates from Washington. Will Mr. Polk accept or reject these overtures 7 It Mr. Polk accepts, a treaty willbe forthwith drawn up—sent to the Senate; and can be confirm- ed, according to the best accounts, at once. But strong influences are brought to bear upon the ad- ministration, in favor 6f rejecting the overtures of Mr. Pakenham, and of falling back upon 5440— Will these succeed? This is the point in doubt. Ia either alternative, the most mighty and mo- | | | mentous results, forall time to come, hang upon the decision that Mr. Polk may make. The excitement in Washington may be easier waagined than described. Qur Mexican Relations—The Ultimatum of Mexico.

The stand | in question, taken and persevered in, will, it wil! | be immediately seen, interfere materially with the proud position adopted by Mr. Polk, in respect to | “interference by European powers on this conti- i nent.” Tne administration, indeed, will be thrown into asmall labyrenth of difficulty by it; and the de- sired settlement of boundary and other outstanding | differences with Mexico, cannot by possibility be | effectively, or indeed at all, approached, unless Mr. | Polk retracts, and by doing so act in derogation ot his own non-intervention pronunciamento. This he cannot—will not do—hence the difficulty. An intense, national, absorbing issue is thus open- ed suddenly to our view—an issue in which may be | discerned the fearful precipice over whose peak the lofty aspirations of the politicians of our Union, | may, in a moment, be unceremoniously hurled, to | be plunged knee-deep into the foaming vortex of | unexpected, undesirable, and sanguinary warfare. | By the stand in question, we shall be called upon by Mexico, (the nation we have contemned as im- | becile and rude,) to cut our own manifesto! intervention we have nationally, by our President, declaied obnoxious to our dignified views and atti- tude as a Republic.

MOVEMENTS OF THE ALLIED SQUADRONS IN THE RIVER PARANA, Official Account of the Great Battle. The remarkably fast sailling ship Courier, Capt. Wm. Wolfe, arrived yesterday from Rio de Janei- PASSAGE, This is a very short passage—one of the shortest on record. The Courier is a beautiful ship. The U. S. frigate Congress, Commodore Stock- ton, arrived at Kio on the 20:h December, fifty days from Norfolk. The U.S. ship Plymouth, Com- modore Henry ; the frigate Raritan, Capt. Gregory, and brig Bainbridge, Commander S. Pennington, were also at Rio. The advices that we have received by this ship are to the 29h of December from Rio, and.to the | 18th from Buenos Ayres. Weare indebted to Capt. Wolfe for late Brazil and Argentine papers, and to our attentive corres pondent at Rio for commercial letters and papers. The intelhgence thus received is highly interest- | ing. . We are now enabled to give an official account of the great batttle in the rivet Parana. We also | give the movements of the allied squadrons, and the | position of forces in the Argentine waters. It appears that General Rosas intends to treat all | the English and French that may fall into his hands | with severity.
