The Cambria arrived at Boston, on Thursday
morning, last, and brings dates to the 4th inst.
The news is gratifying in its nature, and peace
ful in its aspect., Our .selections will show what
has'-'been 'done in Europe sine() last advices, and.
the general bearing of all the great movements.

Made that the difficulties between that country
and the United States, relative to Oregon, arojet
unsettled:
. .
The steamship Cambria, commanded, by our
;
excellent and esteemed friend. Captain Judkins.
takes out to-day the most important and gratifying
intelligence that et:er left the shores of Great Bri
jlain :—Sir Robert Peel—England's" powerful and
brilliant Minister—ha' developed his future com
mercial policy. ,ft is at once simple and oeuvre
hensiie; and under its operation therexchange.cif
commodities betl3,•een this country '(England) and
the United Statel'will he carried to an extent : and
will be mutually ;productive of advantages, greater,
to quote not irreirerently, the words of the sacred
volume--"than the eye bath yet seen, or the heart
hath conceived." The new scheme embraces,
with a full sense. of their importance, the principles
of free trade--:repudiates all protection for coin-'
mores, manufactoreS, and agriculture ;Pcidieits corn,
duty free, at the 'end of three years, With a scale,
in the interim, which will probably oscillate - be
tween four and six shillings per quarter, and at
once admits Indian corn and buckwheat tree of all
ditty tyhativer. To the details of this great measure
we earnestly entreat the attention of our commer
cial readers. We beg to refer them to the speech
itself, and to,our remarks upon it. Great Britain,
at the present moment, is in a blaze orexcitement; I
men talk and think • of nothing•else; they have. set
their hearts upon securing"the great fiscal scheme, I
for the regeneration of the country, which the
Premier has laid before Parliament, and they de
sire to curtail the period fixed for the total extince
tion of the Cern laws.- The friends of peace and
progression,:on this side of the water, hope—earn
estly and sincerely hope—that the new policy will
bind America and us by' the ties of amity, brother-,
hood, and interest, and that the miserable squab
bling about a barren waste will give way to more
liberal, civilized, and comprehensive views. •
• We can do little more than indicate in this place,
currents column, the primary heads of the scheme.
Sugar, = thrit great article of Coltnial . produce.

\,.
lently assailed on a .aunt of the tertancity to
which the Minister has clung in.sereening it front'
competition—is still to be. more -or-less protected.
Slave grown sugar he still regarded as an abomi
nation; but the duty on foreign free labor sugar is
Ea be . rpueed 3s 6. per cent. The Corn laws
he proposes to abolish totally , and uncondition illy,
outlie first of February, (549,' and in the mean-'
rims( a modified sliding scale is to be substituted
tar the lbw at present in existence.- j '
For instance. wlien the price of corn. is under .
38s.;'the duty will. he ten shillings; 'when above
455. and under 395., nide shilling , and so. on, the
j duty declining

The new policy of the United States, as indi
cated in the report of the
much
Secretary of
State, has commanded much attention in the Bri
tish Parliament. Sir-Robert Peel epohe highly
of the Report in the great speech in which he
introduced the new Tariff;. and subsequently, at
the reque4 of •Liird Monteagle, the Government
consented toreprint the document, and place it on
the tables of both Houses of Parliament—an honor
which was Probably neverawarded to any similar
'document before. All these facts prove the desire
which the British Govern Merit has - to make
. our
future relations with the United States as amicable
'and business-like rut possible. -

M.quizot had accordingly felt

he had considered it his duty to claith in reply for

next examined the cominercial reasons which hod
induced France to recognize the independence of

been of a still greater weight. There were at pres

Fra ! nce was not extending hen dominions. In
Africa! she had made a.c.inquest it -Wes her honor

she would not overstep. It was of the highest
importance to France that those three nations

She was cons7equentlymiterested in protecting the

He observed that it appeared to him, from the re
marki in the Piesidenes message, that the United

thereby offended the United States. By . the atti
tude they had taken, they had rendered it :impos

had thereby committed a great fault—a great ia'-
