Close of the Year.
This is the last day of the year 1845. We extend to
the patrons of the "Reporter" our heartfelt wishes kir
~hsisalsappinesa and prosperity during the .new year.
May no clouds o'ercast the sky of their happiness, no
Jiedble rooks; norsorrowl,tillict. May no ilia interrupt
the even tenor of their days, nor unpaid l'rinier'm bills
carry reproach and self condemnation to their minds and
and consciences. So m o t e it he!

'' Since the issuing of onr last, the amiss( of the steam-
ship Acadia, has twiddled us wit!, later and important
in from England. The tenor of this informa
tion has not changed our opinion, of the prol.ect of a
war with that country though there is touch in it that
should awoken us to the importance of preparing in !.race
for war, by strengthening the arias of our natiot.al

The English papers—in true John Bull style—are
full ofboasting and impudence; vaingloriously exulting
in the might, and power of their armies, and detracting
and misrepresenting our strength, our, power, and our
influence. The claims set Op by our govarnment far
Oregon are ridiculed and derided, without the ativant e-
meat of any counter assertion and declaration of right.
except what potency there may be in the ;night of their
strength. Daniel Welter's defence of the English maim,
has tickled them mightily, and will doubtless occupy
their attention until they receive the Prestilettes.leis.t.te
and the recent Debate on the Oregon question, which
will again afford an opportunity for a titspl.ty of inili4na.
lion, boasting, and anger. But the Engiid papers do
Trot echo or foreshadow the opinion or poli c y of :mei rn
ment, and consequently they are not much to be regard
ed, as affinding, an indication of a chance fur a rupture
between the two countries, but rather of the prevailing
habit and passion of the English.
The Duke of Wellington has said that if war should
ensue between the two countries, it would Lea gnat war
nod a dech,ive war; and the Locden .Mornini.;l'o,t has
put. forth the following paragraph which ran hd taken as
a sample of the tone an s d candor of the I.lrita.h pro se.
"It is the general seritiment that the A nteriente: wish

more agreeable, than that of Os ing th,., A on,i ca n b

We agree with the filmier, and believe if war should
ensue, i: would be a short and decisive war, and would
leave us "AN OCEAN Botts fe.runirc." When the

The intelligence received in England. rela
tive to the dismission , : in this country of the
Oregon question, and the statement put, forth
by the Wa-hinitloit Union. had created quite a
war panic there fut a week. It hail subsided
at the last accounts—and there was a general
exprmsion in the press, t h at, if Mr. Polk had
offered the forty-ninth parallel. it ought to have
been accepted. It is also said:that the refusal
of such air offer must have been caused by the
Inlicence of the, fludson Bay Company. at the
exnense of the other and greater eomtnercial
interests' of England with the United :States.
The English press is far more moderate i•n the
question than was expected, and the French
press still more so—nay, even favorable to the
United States.• Yet there is still a talk and
show in England of army and naval prepara
tions. We have reason to believe. however.
that when the Piesitli•nt's late message, aril
the correspondence of Messrs. Buchanan and

England the press cienerally will he aStonish

the offer of the 49th parallel—and will attri

whole people to their own little interests. Tins

of Mr. Polk on the tariff, which is caught
