oe —— NEW YORK HERALD, New York, Tursday, February 10, 1826, ntelligence from Washington, ‘The accounts now daily reaching us trom Wash- ington, are of the deepest interest. The intelligence which we publish in another part of this day’s paper, is of considerable importance. Our relations with England and Mexico seem to be attheir culmi- nating point. Are we to have peace or war? The Expected Packets. There are now several packet slips due at this port, with late news on board,firom Europe. They were tosail from their respective portsin the follow- ing order :— PACKET SHIPS TO ARKIVE Ships. Captains. Whence. Days of Sail’g. Havre..... insworth. -Jan’y 5 Hottinguer.

They will not bring so important intelligence as will probably come in the steamer; but in the present aspect of our relations with England, every day’s later news will be looked for with the greatest interest. Itis to be hoped, therefore, that the directors of the Boston Telegraph Company will make haste to complete | their line through to this city, so that we may re- ceive the news by the steamer immediately after she reaches Boston. This 1s what we all want. Meanwhile, however, we are on the qui vive for the expected packets. . Johnson, 16 | Wood... 20 | a Correspondence—The Present | ion of the Question—Preparations for The Oregon Por War. We give in this day’s paper, the correspondence which has recently passed between Mr. Buchanan, the Secretaryof State, Mr. Pakenham, the Bri- tish Minister at Washington, and Mr. McLane, our Minister'in London. It is not very volu- minous, but it setues one point that has been alluded to and offered so often by the British government, and that is, arbitration; it having been decidedly re- fused by the government of the U. States in every | shape, and in every way. The correspondence pub- | lished to-day, with the special message of the Pre- | sident, places the refusal to arbitrate in ite true position, and in a much more favorable one, than presented by the bare statement of the fact. The British Minister, in the first place, proposed to leave to arbitration the question of an equitable division of the territory in dispute, which was re- fused; when he offered to refer to arbitrators the ** question of title in either of the two powers to the whole territory, subject to the conditions that if neither should be found, in the opinion of the arbi- irators, to possess a complete title to the whole ter- ritory, there should, in that case, be assigned to | each that portion of termtory which would, in the opinion of the arbitrating power, be called for by a just appreciation of the respective claims of each.” This proposition was as decidedly refused as the first, and the Secretary of State stated that the go- vernment of the United States objected to arbitra- tion ia any form it could be devised ; first, because | an impartial arbitrator could not be obtained; and, | second, because tne President opposed any measure which should withdraw our title from the control of | the government and the people, and place it within | the diseretion of any arbitrater. These are the principal points in the correspon- dence, and this is the result. The question remains just where itdid. Jt isa matter of much gpeculn- tion what object the British government had in view, | ja making these proposals—proposale which they knew would be refused, as they have been before. If the object in view was to place this government in an unfavorable position before the world, we do | not think they have made much out of it. Mr. | Calhoun refused arbitration, so did Mr. Buchanan, in withdrawing further negotiations ; notwithstand- ing which, the British Minister revives the former offer to arbitrate. There is evidently some object in view, and it is our opinion that it has not yet been | made visible. The British Minister has not yet | made all the propositions to our government he is authorized and intends to make. The proposals contained in the recent correspondence,tin this day’s paper, have, it is supposed, only been made as a | prelude to something more decided and more to the point. He has, without doubt, orders to obtain ar- bitration, if possible, and if he fails in that, to make an offer to settle the matter according to the terms once proposed by Mr. Gallatin, viz: the 49th paral Jel, and the navigation of the Columbia. That the British Minister has guthority to make the offer under certain circumstances, we have no doubt; but its acceptance is another thing, in relation to which we are at present not prepared to express an opinion. The President has re- peatedly asserted through his messages, and through the correspondence of the Secretary of State, our claim to the whole territory, from 42 to 54.40. The offers to settle it on the 49th de- gree have been made from respect to the posi- tion taken by his predecessors. These offets were refused and withdrawn, leaving him free to lay out his own line of policy in the premises. The Presi- dent now stands uncommitted; and it is, theretore, very difficult to tell what proposition trom the go- vernment of Great Britain would be accepted. The complexion of the Oregon question has not, apparently, assumed a more favorable shape, since this correspondence commenced, than it previously | possessed. But it is possible there may be a much | better understanding between the two countries than appears on the face of the negotiations, The letter of Mr. McLane, our Minister to the court of St. James, in relation to the warlike pre- parations making by the government of Great Bri- tain, appears to have had a proper effect upon our government. We have received intelligence that theyPresident will, probably, in a few days, send a special meesage to Congress, recomm=nding imme- diate and extensive preparations tor any emergency. Our foreign relations, generally, are in such a state that it is highly necessary something should be done to increase our fortifications, to place those we now have ina state of defence, and to increase our naval force. Any preparations of this nature will not, of course, be directed particularly to Great Bri- tain, as Lord Aberdeen says those making by Great Britain are not particularly directed to the United States. Any suggestions the President may make upon this subject, cannot be considered as any indi- eations of any opinion he may entertain as to the probability of a rupture with England, or any other power, but merely as preparatory or precautionary measures, under existing circumstances, We are now, certainly, in the turning point of the century. Tre Mayvor’s Messace.—We would particularly refer our readers to the message of his Honor the | Mayor, which may be found under the head of city intelligence. The suggestions of Doctor Frazer, | enforced by the urgent appeal of the Mayor, so far | as, at least, pertains to the necessity of being com- pelled to employ a surgeon on board the different | emigrant vessels coming to this country, we hearti- | ly respond to. We think our shipping merchants | should go still farther, and fit out ships expressly | adapted for this purpose—affording necessary con- venmiences for the transmigration of those persons who would seek our shores, and usually denominat- ed as steerage passengers. It would be a commend: | able enterprise, attended by the happiest and most profitable results. Tue Ocran Express.—The pilot boat Wm. J. Romer, that sailed yesterday, was cleared by James | K.
