RK HERALD. York, Sunday, August 9, 1846, W YO —— Steam Ship Great Western. pular ocean steamer is now due, with xter iatelligence from all parts of Eu- nth day six days She 3 in her fi The Oregon Treaty and the Navigation of the Columbia, Jur readers will recollect that in the settlement of the Northeastern boundary question a few years sh cabinet were said to be guilty of kery and infamy, in concealing a map in the possession of the government which {efined the true boundary between the British »ssessions and the territory of the United States. This map substan’ d ed the pretensions we set rbout title, but was carefully | after the Ashburton treaty had upin the © ealed ur been formed and ratified. It was permitted to see the light when this country had agreed, for the sake of settling a vexatious question, to give ip a part of her claim which was founded on un- ioubted right and justice. We very much suspect tatrick equally dishonorable has been prac- sed upon us in the settlement of the Oregon question. The convention proposed by Great Britain for the final settlement of the Oregon question, con- tained « section settling the question of the navi- gation of the Columbia River. This question, be it remembered, has ever been the impediment in arriving at 1 compromise. The secticn was in these words ;— Anricte 2 ‘ From the point at which the 49th parallel of north latitude shall be found to intersect the great northern branch of the Columbia River, the navigation of the said branch shall be free and open tothe Hudson’s Bay Company, and to all British subjects trading with the same, to the point where the said branch meets the main stream of the Columbia, and thence down the said main stream to the ocean, with free access into ani through the ‘aid river or rivers; it being und od that all the usual portages along the line thus described, shall, in like manner, be free and open. In navigating the said river or rivers, British subjects, with their goods and produce, shall be treated on the same footing as citi- zens of the United States; it being, however, always understood that nothing in this article shall be construed nting, as pre ntended te prevent, the government of the United States from making any regulations re- specting the navigation of the said river or rivers not inconsistent with the present treaty.” This section is worded in a very obscure way, and the only hesitation about advising the Presi- dent to accept it and make it thé basis of the treaty by the Senate, was, because the members of that body could not decide whether the per- petual right to navigate this stream was intended, or merely the right to navigate for a limited time— for the time then unexpired of the giant to that company, which it was supposed would expire in 1858. E . It was understood by the Senate, at the time of the formation of the treaty, that the right of free na- vigation of the Colambia would cease with that grant—and so understanding it, that body acted as it did, by recommending it t6 the President to adopt. It was in this spirit that the treaty was formed and ratified We now understand that the British Minister and the British Cabinet, put a different construc- tion on this section, and insist that the free navi- gation of the Columbia is vested in the Hudson’s Bay Company in perpetuity. They insist that the charter of that company being perpetual, the right to navigate that river is also perpetual, and with such a view the article was proposed. They in fact hold that they are entitled to construe the section strictly, and as a strict construction of the article favors the perpetual right, they intend to hold on to it, without regard to the general un- derstanding on which the treaty was signed— although, it was at the suggestion of the British Minister himself, it is said, that no reservation for time was inserted. The framing of this article in the way it was put forth by the British Cabinet, couplea with the explanations of the British Minister at Wash- ington, and the way in which it is now construed by the British, in insisting that it was intended to reserve the perpetual navigation of the Columbia, isa piece of chieanery and trickery, altogether unworthy of the enlightened British government; | and can be looked upon in no other light than an | attempt to overreach us by pretending to make a concession, and after the difficulty is settled in- sisting upon their full rights, as they under- stand them. It is what we call a “diploma- tic swindle.” It is on a par with the sys- tem of watch stuffing practised so extensively in this city. The British government held out the real gold watch, and by making a Peter Funk of tself, succeeded in palming off a comparatively worthless trinket on the Senate of the United States. There is one consolation, however, and that is this Peter Funk operation will not do them as much good as their trick in the settlement of the North-Eastem Boundary question did. In that case the evil could not be remedied, but in this it an, inasmuch as long before the period for which the navigation was in good faith granted will ex. pire, the Hudsons’ Bay Company will be at an end. The star of empire is westwa and the tide of emigration which will soon flow “into that territory, will deive before it the beasts’ and ani- mals, for whose furs and skins the company have carried on operations. Let the animals become searce, and the company falls to the ground, This, however, is nothing to do with the diplo- matic trick that has been practised on us by the disengenuous conduct of Great Britain. We are sorry that the treaty is ratified; for dis- posed as we are, and always have been for peace, we would prefer a war of ten years continuance before we would suffer the country to be over- xeached by any one. We have reason to believe that both Mr. Polk and Mr. Buchanan were dis- satisfied with the interpretation placed on this section of the convention, and would have prompuy rejested the whole treaty, and in- wisted upon a boundary at the 54th degree north, if they had been sustained by the’Senate. ‘That body, however, withdrew their support, and jeft them no alternative but the ene thus recom- mended and adopted. The censure, therefore, must be placed where it belongs, on the Senate; who, in their haste to settle the question, allowed it to impose a treaty on the country by which the right to navigate the Columbia was tricked out of them. After all this, it may be asked what estimate ‘we should puton England. There can be but one answer. She is the Peter Funk of nations.— ‘While with ore hand she takes the Columbia from us, she holds out the other and offers to be- come a peace maker between us and Mexico—to stop the shedding of blood. But the question is settled—the treaty is ratified—and the ratifications areexchanged, That is enough for the present. Letus now assume our proper position ; let us refuse mediation from any quarter in the Mexi- can war; let us prosecute that war wtth vigor; and at the same time let us fill up the Oregon ter- dtory with our brave backwoodsmen. it may so happen, after all, that if the privileges of the Hudson’s Bay Company, west of the Rocky Mountains, be renewed in 1868, and the naviga- tion of the Columbia be insisted upon by England, serious trouble will grow out of the affair. Indeed there may be a good deal of difficulty before that time on this very point. Nous verrons. Serious Marrer.—The W ashington Union of the 6th instant, in speaking of its great outlay in eash for the services of reporters, says:— We have bled profusely—we have bled freely, although Congress hae cut down, in the receipts of the public printing, and by the retrospective principle Theit resolution, from 20,000 to 25,000 dollar It seems to be a great pity that the friends of the venerable editor did not send him a bottle or two of the fumous Law Brochieri. It would probably have stopped the bleeding: ™ Warerte PLges. ~The propnetere of the he- tels and boarding houses at the numerous was | tering places throughout the couutry, are, we | understand, doing a tremendous business this hot | weather. Never on any former year, have these places been so full as they are this—while the number of arrivals at the hotels in the principal cities is sensibly diminished, ard getting smaller every day There is yet to be a vast addition to the watering places, of those whose business and pursuits pre- vented them from leaving the city earlier in.the season. Of these some are members of Congress, merchants, doctors, lawyers, and other profes- sional men, who, when they reach the several plaees they have selected for stopping at, will swell the list of visiters very considerably. The most perplexing thing travellers have to en- counter, is the difficulty of determining upon the place they will visit. Each has its charms, and ateach a gentleman and his family can live com- fortably and enjoy themselves. But there are some people who want the benefits of sea bathing—others who want to drink medicinal waters—and others who do notcare about either, but desire to visit the most fashionable and most | frequented place for the sake ef enjoying society. The difficulty then is what place to go to, For the information of our readers, we give them a list of all the principal watering places. First and foremost is our own Saratoga, which maintains its pre-eminently high rank, as the first watering place in the country, and which can boast of as many comfortable and magnificent hotels as any similar place in the world. Among these, the United States deservedly ranks high for good cheer, and obliging and attentive host, and civil and polite waiters. This hotel is the head quarters of the ton of the American Society, and among its guests numbers the first men of the land. The arri- vals at this hotel are from eighty to ninety per day; and at the present time it has some two hun- dred boarders more than it accommodates with lodging, who are obliged to sleep in apartments provided by the host in private houses. A grand fancy dress ball will take place at this house next Friday evening, at which itis expected all the millionaires and wealthy heiresses of the South» East and West, will be present. A full account of this great affair will appear in the Herald. | mick, assembled in this There is also the Eagle—the Mansion House, and | other hotels at this great place.

Half-past 12 o'clock. } The U. 8. revenne cutter Forward, H. B. Nones commanding, arrived off the S. W. Pass, | yesterday afternoon, from Point Isabel, whence she sailed on the 24th inst. She brought a heavy mail from the army, and it is said highly impor- tant intelligence, but the Northern mail having just arrived, that will be opened first. The mails from the army and some of the officers of the cutter, and Capt. Alexander Slidell McKenzie, bearer of despatches from Gen. Tay- lor, came up in a tow boat. I learn verbally that the Louisiana volunteers have been disbanded under the orders received from the Department to disband all that would not serve for twelve months, and they are about returning home—that is, the majority ef them. I do not believe this; there may be a number of | companies that will not extend their term of en- listment to twelve months ; but you may rest as- sured that the majority of the companies will stay and fight it out. There were no less than seven ships, seven brigs and barks, and an innumerable number ot | schooners when the Forward left. The army were still progressing on their route to Monterey.

The writer of the letter from which we obtain this informe- tion also states that he heard an officer who is high in command, predict that the American flag would be float- ing over the castle of San Juan d’Ulloa within sixty days. Perhaps preparstions will not be completed early enough to reduce the castle within that time, but th ression ping frem an officer of high rank, removes all doubt dro} of the truth of tne revort that the attack is contemplated. | —New Orleans Bulletin, July 31. ‘The schooner Vesper, Capt.

The origi- nal decree of the legislative assembly of Yucatan, of the first of January, d-clared—First, That the province ceased to acknowledge the supreme government ; second, That she assumed the pow- ers of an independency; third, That the assem- bly would take measures to uphold the foregoing decrees. After the arrival of the brig Semers in “Campeachy, and the reply of Don Miguel Barba- | chano, provisional governor of Yucatan, relative to the position of the province, another decree is made to the following effect:—The replies of the central government were not satisfactory; that the Yucatanese for the present remained in status quo; but that Yucatan would return to her allegiance to the Mexican government, when the latter had ful- filled the duties made by the agreement of the 14th December, 1845 This shows that the dis- memberment is but temporary, and that if ever the time should arrive when the central govern- ment attained a stable power, and pursued a li- beral policy towards her provinces, Mexico might yet be united as in her former confederacies, Tue Serruemenr or Tus Cueroxer Question. —The Board of Commissioners’ Report has been accepted by all parties concerned, so thatan ami- oable settlement is finally arrived at.

The negotiation was | commenced at Washington last fall, by General Gibson and Major Andrews, as commissioners, with a large delegation of Pottowatamie chiefs, and was resumed and terminated at Council | Bluffs, north of the State of Missonri, and at | the Osage river, west of the same State, by | Major Andrews, as senior commissioner, with | Major Thomas H. Harvey, of Missouri, and Mr | G. C. Matlock, of Tennessee, as associate com- missioners. By thie treaty, the possessory right of the Potto- ‘watainies to some six millions of acres of land is | extinguished—tive millions of valuable land lying | between the Missouri and Mississippi, west of the | | State of Iowa and north of the State of Missouri, and one million of acres on the Osage river, west | | of the latter State. The State of lowa will by this | | treaty gain a front on the Missouri river of several | hundred miles; and that State and the United | | States obtain possession of five millions of fruitful | and saleable land,-towards which a large emigra. | tion has already been directed. | The Pottowatamies now also pledge their fealty | to the States, and are within a short distance of a ae garrison ; and are placed immediate- ly adjoining the bravest tribes of Indians, on this continent, whose attachment to the people and government of the United States is immovable— we mean the Shawnees and Delawares. We have, by this treaty, lost the danger of enmity, ape secured the allegiance of a large tribe of In- ians.

Thus far, we have every reason to be gratified with the sailing quali- | | ties of our ship, and thankful for our safe arrival | on the station. As yet, but one accident has oc- | curred to interrupt the ‘ even tenor ot our way,” | which unfortunately was most shocking. On the | fouzth or fifth day out from Boston, a young man, Edward McLaughlin, jfell from the fore-royal yard to thg deck, and was instantly killed. This, | of course, cast a momentary gloom over our hopes and anticipations, and awakened many an anxious thought, in bosoms too, where thought had never mn. As regards news, I must acknowledge myself quite ata loss what to communicate that would interest you in the slightest degree ; and, indeed, the only thing which ] can say, is the impressions Thave inculcated from a momentary glance and hearsay of the coast, which, believe me, are so melancholy that I prefer notto weary you witha recital of them. Of course, society 1s a word | quite obliterated from the African vocabulary, or, asI am more willing to believe, was entirely omttted. I learned, however, from the officers out here, that the cruising at Teneriffe and about the islands to windward, is most delightful. Of our present destination, it is impossible to say ; but I suppose we will be detained here some two or three weeks in preparing the ship, and then take a short cruise of two or three months down upon the coast to Monrovia and Sierra Leone, alter which to rendezvous at the Canaries and recruit ourselves. As the flag ship, of course, we will not be subjected to much of the turmoils and pri- vations of the station, which we look upon with feelings somewhat ekin to pleasure. The Jamestown has taken very good care of herself, and has passed the last seven months of her time at anchor here in Porto Praya. She has, however, manage? to capture two slavers. The Southarr:pton, (store ship) Boxer, and Marion. are ont now upon a cruise, and some months will donbtless elapse ere we full in with them. The station is by no means go unhealthy, as we had at first imagined, and I am told by many that all depends upon the quantity of flannel you | wear, and the quantity of whisky you drink. For my own part, I cannot say that 1 have suf- fered much disappointment, yet I look forward to the time, when we shall return with greater plea- sure than I canexpress. The treaty with Eng- land fr; the suppression of the slave trade, ex- | pires ix. a year from thig month, when the neces- | sity of keeping a larg@ force on the station will de ay option of our own government; | but whether we will remain longer is a mere | matter of surmise, at least at present.
