SS Vel. XI1., He. 108 -Whele Ke, 4321 STEAMER OREGON ASHORE! We received news yesterday morning that the steamer Oregon had gone on to a rock at Hurl Gate. We immediately dispatched a reporter to the place, who found her lying high and dry, about one hundred 100 feet from what is called Flood Rock. The manner of her striking wasas follows:—she was coming through the Gate at a.quarter betore four yesterday morning, the second pilot, Mr. Pendleton, being at the wheel. The first pilot, Capt. Howard, had gone below a short time before, when, as she was coming past Flood Rock she got into a current, which made her sheer 20 much, that although four men were ummediately at the wheel, it was found impossible to bring her up before ahe struck. This was probably owing to her reat length and flexibility. She tirst struck a smalp rock and jumped over it, and then’slid on to the rock, or rather pile of rocks, where she now lays. The striking made but very little noise at the time, asthe boat seemed to slide on rather than strike suddenly. There were about 800 passengers on board, among whcm was a large proportion of ladies. Many of the passengers were not awakened at the time; while others, being suddenly awakened, leaped out ot their berths and burst through the panels of their state room doors, and made a quick descent with what they could catch of their clothing. Those on board informed us, however, that there was but very little confusion, and that all on board seemed impressed with a sense of the necessity of keeping calm at such a moment. The water, at the time of the boats strik- NINE DAYS LATER. FROM EUROPE.

Dr. Twiss, | cabinet of Washington and the world what are the definitive claims of is country and what are the con- cessions England is prepared to make. Nothing is gained by the secrecy of diplomacy in treating with the United States, because public opinion. in that country is the last arbiter of the national policy, and the government has shown itself less disposed to peace than the more enlightened part of the com- munity. Whatever be the proposals of the Ameri- | La oe presum; | ption, the exorbitant demands, and Jusions of the opposite party. Mr Polk stande in a fearful predicament. He has | endeavored to persuade the people of America that | Eagiand will yield without much further difficulty | to the demands he has reiterated in so peremptory | a manner; and if he has tailed ia inumidating us, | he has succeeded in deceiving them. Hence his | own organs and his own declarations have made | him powerleas to negotiate. How can he negotiate, who assures the country that England is about to | abandon to him the sum tota! of his demands? What concessions can he make to avoid war, when he | asserts that it is by refusing all concessions that Eng- land will be broughtto yield? Such policy is of the most short-sighted and perilous kind; for, in the position in which he now stands, the President of the United States must either make concessions, pertectly reasonable in themselves, but perfectly in- | consistent with all his declarations, or he must run | all the risk of plunging the country into @ contest, | which he has pretended to avoid,but which he alone | may render inevitable. [From the Londen’ Times,{March 18 ] ‘The language of Lord Clarendon and Lord Aber- deen, in the short discussion which took place last night in the House of Lords, on a motion for the correspondence relating to the last Oregon negotia- tion, reflects honor on the temper, jadgment, and good feeling of those eminent persons. That every exertion consistent with the national honor will be made to preserve the peace, was the gracious decla- ration made by her Majesty from the throne, and no one in this country has entertained the least doubt that it will be strictly adhered to. That assurance scarcely necded to be emphatically repepated, for no distrust has ever been expressed upon the subject. But we have nuw abundant evidence trom the Uni- | ted States that the moderation of this sentence in | the speech from the throne, and of the brief remarks made on the subject on the first night of the session, have been grossly misconstrued by the party in power in America.

The Traveller brought the mails and passengers to the city. The principal break in the Oregon is on the starboard side, where she struck abaft the wheel, nearly amid ships. This break is about six feet in length, although her timbers do not appear tobe broken. There are one or two other small holes upon the larboard side. She is raised amid ships, nearly 3 ft. above the bow, and 2 above the stern. Her boilers, and the weight of her machinery is aft the wheel, and tends to strain her somewhat. The seams in the saloon are alittle wrenched and the doors are cracked. There are about five feet of water under her stern. She lies, however, a good portion of her-length upon the rocks, which we hope may prevent her loss. If, however, at low tide she still remains as firm as now, it {1s proposed to spring back her planks ‘and stop the leak with mattrasses, ize., and at high tide to get her off. If this is done, it is es” timated that eight or ten thousand dollars wil} place her in as good a condition as she was be- fore. She was only about half her width out of her course when she strack, and from our con- versation with those on board and with the pilot, we think that no blame can be attached to him.

In 1844, the duty upon foreign wool was entirely removed, the quantity entered for consump- tion increased to 65,079,524 lbs, and the price ot English wool rose at once to ls 2d.

Many of these posts were fortified, and could be defended by their inmates— men inured to dangers and hardships of all kinds— against any attacks which might be apprehended ; and thus, 1n a few years, the whole region north an north-west of the United States, from Hudson’s Bay and Canada to the Pacific, particularly the portion traversed by the Columbia and its branches, was ied, in a military sense, by British forces, al- though there was not a single British soldier, strictly aking, within its limi’ “The United States, on the other hand, possessed no establishments and exercised no authority or jurisdiction whatever beyond the Rocky Mouatains; and the number of their citizens in that whole terri- tory did not, probably, exceed two hundred.” juch is the American account of the state of the district 1826, when Mr. Gallatin proposed as his ultimatum the cession b England of the terri- tory up to the 49th parallel.

On the following day but one the debate on the reso- lutions for erminating. the convention by notice began in the House of Representatives. A similar debate soon afterwards commenced in the Senate, and was not finished when the last advices lett Washington. it is clear from the position in which the question stood after the rejection of the last overture made by the British Minister, and also from the positive injunction to negotiate which is contained in the second of the resolutions under discussion in both Houses of Congress, that the American Cabinet should make the next step towards the adjustment of the controversy. If, however, Mr. Polk and his advisers should give the notice terminating the existing convention, without accompanying that act by a fresh proposal, calculated to promote an amicable settlement, we trust that there will be country should have been imposed upon by them, in ed.

The last attempt made by Mr. Paken- that England will not onlv now accept the terms she rejected before, but that she will accept terms even less favorable, and they have taken up their position mn consequence. 7 They are grossly and dangerously mistaken. Whatever reserve may be imposed upon peers of Parliament by courtesy or by official prudence, we | are confident that not one of the English statesmen who spoke last night upon this subject, contemplates the abandonment of a teriitory in which our righia | are equal to those of any power. ‘The time and the place might not be fitted to a more precise and em- atic declaration of the views and intentions of England, but it would be absurd to suppose that they \ are a whit below the level which the interests and | the dignity of the country prescribe. {t would be | toolish to overstate our, just pretensions, but it 18 | dangerous and unwiee to allow them to be thought less than they are. We have offered to submit them to any fair arbitration ; we are ready to assent to terms of equitable partition, on a principle of equali- ty. But arbitration has been rejected, and partition itself is searcely compatible with the claims ad- vanced on the other side, since they are absolute and paramount. Nothing in fact remains for us to concede, since a divided right is all we are con- tending tor, and the very principle of division is not | yet admitted by the American gove:nment. |. The declaration which it now becomes usempha- | tically to repeat is, that we have “rights in the Ure- gon territory which we are resolved and prepared to maintain.” That expression of Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen was certainly not intemperate and ill-considered ; and we have no doubt that sub- sequent events have not in the slightest degree di- munished their resolution to adhere to it, and to all that 1t was understood to imply. We see nothing in the present posture of aftairs which calls for, or can | jnstify, & more subdued language on the part of the |English government; and we are persuaded the false construction which has been pat upon the very guarded declarations of the English Ministers is one of the circumstances most calculated to mis- lead public opinion in the United States, and possi- bly to enhance the unwarranteble presumption of the American government.

On the part of the British Minister, Mr. Pakenham, no tresh overture had been made. Whatever may be the motives which induce the Congress of the United States to vote the abroga- tion of the apscsoeney of 1827, for the Pai occur of Ore} territory, we are chiefly con- Sorned to ‘examine the effecto!’ that measure on the relative rights of the two claimants. As soon as the Senate shall have concurred in these resolutions and the President proceed, a8 he undoubtedly will, to give’ the notice, the whole question will assume a i Vateunen it will revert to the condition in wi Lt stood before ever the conventions of claims of the United States, and as materially strengthens our own rights. Under the agreement which the Americans are resolved to cancel, two kinds of claims have exist- ed; the first conventional, which were on the foot- ing of strict equality; the scond claims of settlement, its own resources and in the resolution of the go- vernment. But a stronger case for public interest and support we have never known. A great trading company enters upon the enjoyment of certain rights secured by a treaty between the crewns ot to and Engiand, with the full sanction of royal charters and acts of Parliament ; it occupies a vast uninhabited region, where settlement was all that was needed to assert and establish indefeasible nghts of dominion; it exercises those rights with ttle Fenny that even the emi ts from the rival States are housed within its walls and supplied from its ines. It has organized the sole sys- tem of regular communication and traffic that the present state of the northern parts of America ad- mits of. All this has been going on actively for the last quarter of a century, oe less actively ever since 1790; when suddenly, by th pleasure of a democratic comnaui ity, whose near- western coust. Yet, such is the extraordinary per- version of public opinion in America on this sub- ject, that we are expected to abandon a title, sap- ported by etfectual occupation, in tavor of another ttle, which rests upon fo superior legal claims, and _——————— mx Whoever knows any thing of Englishmen and England knows how ialse and mischievous these views of our national conduct are.

Thie full confi- dence in the justice of a cause, which claims no more than the object in dispute, and actually lees than the territo possession—the cia mm and in the firm resolution of the Cabinet—this consciousness of, the most tremendous naval resources which ever busied destruction on an enemy—have allowed the English people to remain calm, these preliminary resolutions, which indicate an ex- treme diversity of Sm os, and great doubt on all handg as to the result.
