The Times will, of course, be first look ed to. It is in every respect the most poiverful and influential journal, upon par -lies and polities, in the world ; and although' in the general tendency of its course it is Conservative, yet it spares no party nor any man that fairly earns its censure. In regard to the message, the Times speaks generally in a tone of cool and well bred contempt. On the subject of the tariff riii6trade notions exactly please the times —as indeed all the other paper. As to Oregon, the Times says, after a somewhat searching analysis of the nuts- sage: , • !Ile terms of the Message in4y, then, the alternative of war, or of conclusive ne gotiation. Wak is too monstrous to be thought of fur a moment, except after eve 7 - ry effort compromise has been ex hausted. 'Britain and America must be too sensible of their mutual dependence, and mutual respect, to peril the substantial blessiugs they now enjoy, and arc daily multiplying in the relations of peace, for the bloody and precarious glories 'of war. It is all but impossible' that two great and kindred nations, after healing so wide :t breach, and helping one another to so great a common prosperity, should become 'mutual and unnatural destroyers for a mere point of honor, for a 'remote wilderness, separated from both by a journey of ma ny months, by stormy seas, and almost im passable rocks and deserts. Unless; • Mr. 'Polk is in rely- trifling with words, and se cretly scoffing - at the universal „sentiments of humanity, he is himself incapable of so greatan outrage and injury on the country of his ancestors, on the land of ,his birth and the whole race of man. What means he by saying that he has adopted the maxim , to ask nothing that is not right,' and submit to nothing that is wrong ? and his further boast that it is his 'noxious desire to preserve -peace with all nations?' That the Union should be anx ious to heal this sore,' and should think •it unmanly and impolitic to bequeath a quar rel to posterity, is natural enough. That they should think to strengthen their claim with sttong langnige, is also in confOrmity 'with Many examples. But if the decision is to be speedy, it can only be by negotia tion, either by reference, or by arecurrence to a method which, in the case of the dis pnted boundary on our Canadian frontier, :proved so entirely suceessful.

Our transatlantic readers will be struck by the absence.of all irritation in the remarks of the great organs of opinion in this country, relative to the .

The cause, perhaps, why the message has agreeably disappointed expectation Isere is, the well. timed observations in which it indulges respecting a Liberal Tar iff. If the Oregon is the bane, the pro posed reduction of the tariff is the anti dote in the new President's missive to Congress.

The Repeal Association, it its meet— iut on the 15th ult., was attended by Mr. O'Connell, whi) made a long speech, in the course of which he pledged himself to sup port the Corn Law League, in the efforts to repeal the statues which prohibited the free importation of foreign grain into these Kingdoms. lie made a kind of half promise to. waive Repeal in order to give Lord John Russell, who was then attempt ing to form an administration, an opportu nity of doing justice to Ireland.

FRANCE.—Paris, Dec. 30. 7 -This da l y his Majesty Louis Philippe- opened the Session of the French Chambers with the usual formalities. The Chamber of Deputies was.erowded With depiities, foreign ambassadors and persons of distinction, all of whom rose as .the King entered. The Queen, the King's daughters and sons-in-law, and the little Compte de Paris, his Majesty's heir, loiilarrived at the C ham ber,previously to his majesty, and were seated in one of the tribunes. having as cended to the throne, the King bowed to the assemblage. Ile then seated himself, put on his hat; and delivered his speech. A letter from Park in Wilmer & Smith's Times,,sa'ys England and her Queen, you will per ceive, figure prominently in this discourse, from which it is clear that, whatever pp pie may say about it, Louis`Phillippe and his Ministers are heart and soul for the English alliance: Not one syllable about the United States, notwithstanding Mr. Polk almost invited, notice by his remarks on France in his meesage. Rarely was a message expected with greater interest, and rarely has one fallen snore flatly. The only explanation I can give of the reason of this is, that little im portance generally speaking, is attached to the big and bouncing words of the Presi dent. Though rather given to self-gloriti cation theinselves, the French have a su preme contempt for it in others, and they feel, and unhesitatingly assert,-that COusin Jonathan's self-glorification approaches the ridiculous. • In one of the first letters I had the hon '.or`to address to you, I stated, as thy confi dent conviction . that the event of a rup dire between Eng-hind:lollp United States France, supposing , the maintenance of a strict neutrality to be impossible, would support England in preference to the Uni; ted For that opinion/1 was vie, lently attacked by the French paper of the eit.• of New York.

S. brig Porpoise at Pensa cola, from l‘fexico, brings the intelligence that the Revolution in that Government is complete, Gen. Paredes having entered the city of Mexico, and assumed the reigns of Government ; without seri ous opposition. The following paragraphs are taken from the Pensacola Gazette : - The disaffection which had been thus gathering ahead, broke out into open rebel lion and revolution as soon as the arrival of Mr. Slidell was made known at the head quarters of Gen. Paredes, who forth with issued his pronuncianziento, or mani-, festo against the, government. This pro minciamiento was re-echoed by the fortifi cations and garrisoned towns as soon as received—the train having been well laid anti the match no sooner applied than the explosion took place, almost simultaneous ly, all over the country. The city of Mex ico, even the very scat of the government, throwing wide its gates as soon as Paredes sounded his first bugle in its spacious val ley—notwithstanding Ilerrara had taken all the precautions in his power for the de fence of this last strong-hold of his party. Indeed, he used his authority so arbitrarily as to give just cause orollence to the citi zens, seizing upon the public money with out warrant of law,.suspen ding the liberty of the press, levying forced contributions,' and mal treating and arresting many of the principle individuals. Among others the Archbishop was forced to take reftige in 'l'acubaya, and Ahnonte, secreted ; himself in the city. From the Pensacola Democrat, we learn that Paredes reached the city of Mexico at the head of six thousand troops, where there were stationed 700 regular and 30,- 000 armed citizens, to . upport the admin istration of Herren nit upon the arrival of the forces of Par es, the 800 regulars de clared in favo of the revolutionary party, and the cit• ens surrendered, President Herrera. retiring. General Paredes then dissolved the Mexican Congress, and de clared that they should legislate no more until they should have clone fruity to hitt. Paredes declared himself opposed to re ceiving any Minister from the Government of thcoU. States. At Vera Cruz, some blood was shed, but all in the shape of legal executions, several officers who favored the administration of lierera, proving somewhat refractory, were tried, 'condemned and shot. Frpm these accounts it appears that the principal reliance of Paredes for the suc cess of the revolution was on the hatred of the people to the United States. The first movement was made after the arrival of Mr. Slidell, and the fact that Ilerrera had invited his coming was used for the pose—a tact which shOws how deeP root ed in the Nexican army (which controls the country) is the anininsity against this country.' Doubtless, however, this rebel lion was planned long before the arrival of Mr. Slidell. The feeling of the Mexican Press in ' regard to the diplomatic relation,s of the two countries, may be seen from the following article taken fromthe Vera Cruziano :" It is some time since it Was known amongst us that the administration is about to estab lish diplomatic relations ` with The United States; and thus to Make a perfidious and shameful submission,' but the mysterious, veil with . Which they-cowered their move. mews, hid from us the extent to Which their audacity and ; tr6SOnable \ imbecility hal led the . in, until the w itiurnahi of :the Americans themselves drew it aside and exposed the machinations of those unfortunately for our country, figure itt the head of our allhirs. When we witness the barcfneedness of these journals, both tifli vial and unofficial, when speaking of the Oneness of Our OWII weak government, trhich is on the point of ruining us; its tameness under all these wrongs and in suns—the reception it has given the Amer ' can Minister, sent hither to purchase the territory winch our fathers and brothers have rescued and defended with their blood, who enn fail to be convinced of the exist ence and the magnitude of the treason?— What 'Mexican heart is there that does not beat with indignation at beholding it ? Who is there that would not hasten to enrol himself among those patriots, \rho, unfur ling the standard of the country, are march ling to hurl from the national sovereignty he men who have offered to sell the Conti, try for four or six millions of dollars, and to convoke in their stead an extraordinary congress who shall faithfully represent the nation, and who may undo what has been done, and give effect to the true sentiments of the people. A government .which shall thus derive its powers will possess all the attributes. of legitimacy and will render the country happy; it will give its whole at tention to its honor, dignity and - decorum, and without these elements it can have neither political independence nor a well regulated liberty. A government.truly_na tional, like that Avhich they arc going to ' establtsh, will overthrow, in the ft,rst place, all those perfidious and opprobious plans which have been formed to abandon our. richest departments to the avarice and ra pacity of the Yankees--and in the second, it will organize an army who shall march to clear our territory of the adventurers who infest it; who shall check the abomi nable rapacity of the Anglo Saxon race and render the name of Mexico respectable by their valor, their civic virtues. Not the sale of Texas shall not be con summiated, neither under die pretext of set tling boundaries shall the perfidious Yan kees extend their rapacity to other depart ments not less rich and precious. Let them keep their four or six millions of infamias, as the valiant Mexican army does not deal in such opprobrious transac tions with the enemies of the country, and is resolved to deltoid to the life of the last veteran the integrity of the territory and the national honor." OREOON IN THE NEW YORK. LEGISLA TUILE.—On Monday last, the Whig mein tiers of the New York Legislatuye intro duced a series of resolutions upon the Or egon subitrf, which concluded as follows "Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) That our Senators and Representatives in Con gress be requested to vote for a resolution, 'advising the President of the United States to give to 11cr Britannic Majesty's Govern ment, at as early a day as in lkjudgement the rights, the interests and the —. honor of the American people demand, the notice required by the convention of 1827, for the joint occupancy by England and the U.

Resolved, (if ''the Senate concur,) That our relations with England impose high and responsible duties upon Congress, and that as' the most efficient preparations for war furnish at all times the strongest guar antee for peace, the naval and military forcd of the country should be augmented, while its defences should be promptly strengthened upon our seaboard, and along the line of our Northern and Northwestern frontiers." The majority' refused to make these res olutions the special order tin Friday, by a vote of 59 to 54.

The Report will be read with interest, as exhibiting a most gratifying diminu tion of vice, and immorality, and crime, in our midst, and a general prosperity in the afThirs of the County highly honorable to those charged With their administration. It will be seen that, although numb Tiring a population of upwards of .25,009, not a single case of misdemeanor was brought within the cognizance of the Grand Jury—nor has there beer for some time; a prisoner within the walls of the Cciunly Jail.

The news.is of the most pacific character, and justifies the belief we have all along entertain ed, that there was no probability of war between the United States and Great Britain. The failere of Lord John Russell to forth a ministry was owing to the fact that leading men of his own party would not consent to tike office in a Cab inet which was believed to favor war.

Lecture on Ole American Revolution. tlYOn Tuesday evening last, Geo. C.

Some of the passages of the lecture possess a thrilling pow er; and all of it is eloquent Mal instructiye in a ,very high degree'. We have seldom listened to a more highly wrought picture of the toils, stilt:r ings and persevering heroism of our fathers, than that displayed in Mr. Collins lecture. It brought vividly to view our naked, bleeding, half starved countryman, marching to encounter the veteran and perfectly equipped legions of England and we do not go too tar, when we say that no man can hear it without feeling his love of country and his admiration of the men and women of the Rev olution greatly increased. In short, we, know no more eloquent and instructive lecturer 'than Mr. Collins. C. -hate to incorporate it as a provision upon his resolution."

Glum!, Juni- Room, Jan. 27, 1545. 7'o the honorable the Judges of thi Court of Quarter Sessions - of .ddalns Tin: Grand Jury fiir the January• Se ssion, 1846, beg lee to offer the following Report : That it is with . feelings of unalloyed pride, gratitigation and pleasure they are enabled to state; that while our sister coun - - ties are rejoicing over their prosperity and happiness, and the gradual decrease of vice and immorality in their respective commu nities, we, of little, Adams, can be still more grateful in being able to say, that in our population, numbering_ some twenty live thousand souls, not a single case has been presented before the present Grand Inquest of the County of a criminal char acter—that our County Jail is tenantless, ' not having a solitary prisoner to answer to the calls of Justice—that not even a case of assault and battery has been presented to the present Grand Jury ! Such a state of affairs is surely a cause of gratula tion to every moral and peace loving citi zen in our beloved county. The philan thropist and the Christian can warm his heart and cheer his soul with the reflec tions, that outrage, debauchery, drunken ness, quarrelling and every other crime, constituting vice. and immorality, arc taking their flight from amongst us, and that or ',der, usefulness, and every kindly feeling of social order are 'taking their plates. The Grand Jury beg leave...further to state, that they have visited the County . Prison and that every thing about the es tablishment is in complete and ample order, and that the neatness and clearness every where displayed throughout the buildings and yard, reflects much, credit on the Sher ill' and his family.. They would also state that, having vis ited the Altos House and Hospital, they find every thing in that department to be in good oilier, and the care and attention dis played upon the old and destitute poor now there, shows that the present steWart - (Mr. Colicaub) is ahumaite and kind man.- .. • . In addition to these facts, the Grand Ju ry would also state, that the finances of our coun:y are in the most flourishing con dition. Not one dollar of debt now rests on the -shoulders of the citizens of our County as a County. Our State}axes have been most promptly met, by the ac tion of our energetic Board of Corinty Commissioners and our equally prompt . , tax-paying citizens—and the Commission ers 110Ni' hold" in their possession the re ceipt in full from)the.State Treasurer of i all taxes against the County. Our county I matters are also in the same desirable con dition. No ' debt resting upon her, and without any eftraordinary occasion of ex penditure, she will be enabled to meet the annual expenses for the present year, by the least possible per tentage (20 cents the $100) on the Assessors valuation These facts are such, that We deem it our duty (and a pleasant one) as the Grand Lumina! rA" il. r i rsolnflr to ma onblic• through a report to the Court andthe peo ple, from our body, and trust that the inter est which all must feel in such a state of our affairs, will excuse this unusual course at present adopted by the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury having no other subject to present to your honors, respectfully ask to be discharged.
