We give the entire article: Oregon.—The Post, in the article in which it ar rives at the conclusion that "Oregon is curs, every foot of it.." states the respective claims of each country in a chronological form. These claims are founded on discovery and settlement. Those of Spain having beets ceded to this country by treaty. we claim by heir,as wallas by any discoveries or settlements in our own right. 'Tile claims and rights of Spain are of great importance in settling this question. because. if it esorbelifunens that Spasn'had a clear and indis putable right, our claim is good against that of Great Britain. We make these remarks for the pur pose of introducing the following paragraph, publish ed* the Post. under the head of "Claims of Great Britain?' though to our mind it urr uld have been more appropriately placed under the head of '•Claims of Spain," as fellows: "1799. Spain and Great Britain entered into n con• ventlon, which reserved the socereignty of Nootka Sound to Spain, but granted some commercial privileges to Gwent Britain.— This Convention gave to Spain the otrveieign and exclusive ownership over all tie roost to the north of ere•t America an the side of the South Sea,asfaras beyond Prince Wil liams Sound. If this statement is tree, it will go far inwards set tling the question; fur we undoubtedly, Riad we beleive without dispute, inherit by virtue of treat y all the right cf Spaie, and if she reserved the sovereignly of the Country as far North es Prince Williams Sound—say to the 60th parallel of latitude—and'Great Britain by treaty admitted that sovereignty and exclusive owner ship, our case is perfectly clear. We therefore ask the Post to give its authority for this statement. If our neighbor can make it good he will have settled a very knotty question with very lit tle trouble. As he has vouched fur the accuracy of this statement, and has expressed surprise that we should still doubt the right of this country, be cannot refuse to satisfy our desire for information; because if he can substantit ate the fact stated, that Great Britain by treaty relinquished to Spain the "sovereignty and exclusive ownership" of Oregon, we will join with him and Mr. FOLIC in maintaining cur claim to that coun try against all the world. Onr neighbor will confer a favor by answering at an early Wry, which he will have no difficulty in doing, as he says a friend has kindly furnished him the public aocomenis, My examining which he had verified the truth of the stntenietrts which be published." We procured documents, and ni we stated, "com pared" the facts chronologically at ranged "in most eases," and found them entitely accurate. Although oar language might convey the idea that we vouch ed for on, we did not wish to be so understood—we vouched for the accuracy of those we compared nob the papers in our possession. In reference to the par agraph quoted by the Gazette, we found, by reference to Mitchell's Mop of the United States ef 1 833, that it was correct in conceding to Spain the tight of dis covery—so far as relates to the convention between Great Britain and Spain, we did not, at the ttme, re gard it as of much importance. as it did not take place until 1799, seven years after Copt GRAY dis covered the Columbia, and therefore gave ourselves De trouble about it. Mitchell's map of the United States was referred to, and in reference to what we regarded ns the main points, the chronological table was found entirely cor rect. We give below extracts from Mitchell's map of the United States of 1835; it a ill be seen that the im portant points are conclusively established. Ist. That the Territory of Oregon was first discovered by Spain —2l. That we acquired title by the treaties with Spain —3d. That we have on the ground of discovery a bet ter clai than Great Britain-. and 4th, that the bound. ry of this great region is the parallel of 54 dogs. 40 mina. north latitude: 11nm:first discovered by the Spaniards, who how ever, did not penetrate into thc interior. In 1792 Captain Gray, of the Ship Columbia, of Boston, metered the great river of this region, and from Aim it received the VO?7lt of his ship. The celebrated navigator, Capt. Vancouver, was then at Nootha Sound, and the discovery was very frankly and for tunately communicated to him, who sent one of his principal officers to examine the channel. and in his narrative admits the fact; thus placing the right of prior discovery in the United State s,beyond dispute, on British evidence. To this region the United States have acquired a title by the Lousiana treaty, by the discovery of the principal river, and by interior exploration. It in, however, contested by Crest Britain, who not that the title is in her but that the region is unap propriated and open to the fret comer." The boundary of this great region on the north in the parallel of 54 deg, 90 min. north latitude, which forms a provisional boundary line Intween thin territo ry end the Russian American possessions." No man in the U. States, we presume, has given tbn question a more full investigation than Mr Mitchell; he madehis researches, not to settle the question of Flight to Oregon, but to give correct information to the ,conatry--he must therefore be regarded as dinintr rent linfl is no doubt correct in bin statements. But., we have additional evidence. We find the following in the eighth column of the Family Nlngn sine, published in 1890 and '4l, We extract from page 16: "In the treaty betweeu the United Staten and Spain, concluded February twenty-second, 1819, the hitter te linguished all claims to the country north of forty-two defuses." Again page 17. Th.) editor says: -”But the treaty of Paris in 1763, precludes all tliims of priority on ate part of Britain, previous to that date, for in that treaty, she renounced all claim to any portion of North America west of the Afis sissippi. Since that lime, no events conneced frith British discoveries can give her the least title.— In 1513, Badioa discovered the western shores of America, and took possession in the name of the King of Spain. Cortez explored the coast op to thirty degreesio 1526; in 1543 Cuhrillo extended these discoveries to forty-two degree.), and in 1592, de Fu ca discovered the strait Which hcatts his nal:node lati tude forty-eight degrees. Here we find that Great Britairi hy treaty, at Paris, In 1763, "renounced all claim to any portion of North America west of the Mississippi." 'We next hear of her navigator, Vancouver, uvailing himself of informa tion received from Capt GRAY, who, a short timebefore, had discovered the mouth of the Columbia river, and wending ar officer to examine the channel. The fact tbatthe discovery was made by GRAY is frankly stated by Vancouver in a report made abet his return home. The British Commissioners in 1823, it is true, con tended that Sir Francis Drake bad, in 1578, discover ed the Columbia, but when called upon for evidence of the fact in writing, refused to furnish it: for the ex. eelkont reason that they had none to give. "According to documents whose authenticity can setbecontroverted. Captain Robert Gray, in the ship Columbia, from Boston, sailing under the flag of the I United States, entered the mouth of a large river on the western coast of Americit near the forty-sixth par allel of Inttittole, on the seventh of May, 1792, which was the first time, :(set evidrime tc the contrary being on record)it was seen by a Citizen of a civilized na tion. Hereto anchored, and with a small boat pro ceeded to the land. 'He named the harbor, Bulfinch's harbor; called the river, Columbia, after the name of the vessel and his country, and named the cape on the north side, Cape 1-1 incock, and on the south, Point Adams- After exploring the channel at the entrance of the harbor, he weighed anchor on the 14th and pro- ceeded abont fifteen miles up the river, where he re mained till the morning of the twenty-first of May, tra ding with the natives and making observations of the shores on either side. Thus in 1792, the Columbia river was discovered from the sea and named by a cit izen of the United States. "In 1803 our government fitted nut nn expedition to explore the region of the Rocky Mi.untains west to the Columbia river. This expedition was successful and opened to the civilized world the vast and fertile region of the Upper Missouri, and the rich plateaus in the vicinity of the Rocky Mountains. The expedi tion was followed by that of Lewis and Clarke, and a settlement and occupation near the mouth of the Co lumbia river, by John Jacob Astor, n resident of New York city. This settlement. called Astotis, was in cluded in the stipulations of the treaty of Ghent, as before mentioned. This it will be seen that the Uni ted States hits a clear title to the territory she claims on the ground in , isted upon by Great Britain that"dis covery accompanied with subsequent and efficient acts of sovereignty or settlement, are necessary to a title: , The Gazettesays: "The claims and rights of Spain, are therefor, of great importance, in settling this question, because, if it can be shown that Spain had a clear anti indisputable right, our claim is good, against that of Great Britain." The Gazette admits that if "Spain had an in , disputable right, our claim is good against that of Great Britain." Thu above facts, we think, must satis fy him that the title of Spain, was indisputable, and the fact that Spain in 1319, ceded to the United States her claim to the country north of the 42d degree of north latitude, we believe is not denied. Will this ' satisfy the Gazette? lie must now most certainly con cede that our title to Oregon is indisputable. We will briefly recapitulate the facts:—first, Britain by the treaty 'of Paris, in 1763, renounces all her claim at that time to any portion of North A Mel ion rest of the Mississippi." It is admitted that the Territory in dispute was first discovered by Spain. in the Iron ly between the United States and Spain, concluded in 1 February, 1319, '•Spain relinquished all claims to the territory north of forty-second degree. Thus we find that Spain had an indisputable title lasing the right ofdiscovery, and that Spain by treaty relinquished her claim to the United States. But our claim against Britain is good on the around of priority of 11 , scovery. Captain Gray, in 179:2, made the discovery of the mouth of the Columbia river, awl the firsr knowledge the English navigator hada its existence he obtained from Ca pt Grny, and so lie states in his own report upon the subject. Our right to the territory on the ground of occupancy, it will be seen, is also su perior to that of Great Britain. The facts given above arg taken from source; not likely to err ignorantly. or to wilfully mi. , repre‘ent.— Their cm rectne.44, cannot, we think, be called in Ties t ion, and if correct, they e.tablislt our title to Oregon, beyrmd all cavil or doubt. • The Gazette is nut satisfied %%lilt being ranked on the td le of the question. We ran see hut two sides to the question—there is but two sides to the ques , ion. Who ore the di=putnrits?—w ho are the par ties to the controversyl—the Government of the Uni ted States on the one side. and Great Britain on the other. 15 it tint gni Most cettainly it is. The Gazette cannot be on Loth sides, and no impottial mall, after trading its articles, will differ with tis as The Garet te is on the British to it proper position. side o f t hi s question, becat , e it is against its own gov ernment, and is indefatigable in its exertions to create doubt as to the validity cf the American claim to Oregon. The Gazette considers it mere "babble" to speak of the American side" or the question; it is. says the Gazette, "the mere cant of the paltriest dem" agogism," and declares that "it shall not deter" him "•from snaking the truth." If the editor would speak the whole troth—if be would give to his read ers the historical facts Idied upon to establish our ti• tle to Oregon, he would doubtless confer n favor upon them. Thus far, however, we have no recollection of his having given his readers a single fact to show that his position is correct, but contents himself with a daily parade, before the public, of his own vague and unsop. ported opinions upon the subject.

EGYPTIAN DRuPtAIDARV.—The Dromer'ary, when going as slowly ns possible, travels nearly five milesan hour; in its quick trot, twice or thrice as much, and continues at this rate for ten or twelve hours without resting. Mehemet Ali once accomplished the journey from Suez to Cairo, a distance of 115 miles on his Dromedary, in twelve hours in order to prevent a con spiracy of the Mameluke, and his gain, holding on by the tail of tl-e animal, and running on foot, teached Cairo at the same time. Sonnini affirms that the Ned ish Dromedary can trove; a hundred leagues in twenty four hours, but it strikes me that this must certainly be an exazgeration. Both Dromedaries and Camels are ill tempered and disnr,reeablc animals. I never mounted mine but it testified its displeasure by a snarl ing noise, and sometimes even by an attempt to bite me. Yet when once set n - going, I found ir, like its lender, to be always docile and tractable, and a slight touch with n kurkbatsli on its long neck, was suffici ent to excite it to the most rapid trot. The bit of the bridle is trot in the animal's mouth, but is drawn through one nostril, and there fastened by a wooden peg. 11'hen the rider wishes to dis mount, be must make a hind of a hoarse groan, which is extremely difficult to imitate, on hearing which the Dromedery immediately lies down. No sign is accessory to make it rise again, for it invai in. bly does so of its own accord as soon as ever the rider is mounted and has taken the bridle into his hands.

Horrid Murders and Self-Destruction!—w a have received information from .tieshoba that five Indians were killed in that County last week.

He was immediately arrested by a party of Indians, and wss offered the alternative either to be shot or to short himself. He prefered the latter— and just before he committed the fatal deed, he vow ed himself ready to die—said that his revenge was sat isfied, an he had killed two, and was perfectly willing that his life should pay the forfeit. He placed the muzzle of his rifle to his head with the utmost compo. sure, nulled the trigger, and blew his brains out. The fourth Indian was killed in Mr. Killen's yard —being struck on the head with a billet of weed by another Indian, which broke his skull in two places. He died immediately.
