Ty, or not satisfactory; , but, having been!
made, it did appe - ar. to him to require a i
statement.frops those in authority in this
• country, of the terms on which they would
be satisfied to settle this question. That ;
proposition, as he rfnderstood, had not!
been.received by her Majesty's government ;
butbad been dqelared to be totally.inadmis
sible by our Minister in America, Ile
(Lord John Tifssell) confessed he thought
this was a hatity - proCeeding on the part of:
the representative of her Majesty in the
11. States.
But what he•NYished to ask was. whetb- - '
Cr the negotiations -had rtt-commenced or
were going on':
lie was not desirous that
the papers should be presented to the;
House; he was willitre- to leave the sego-;
nation in the hands of her Majesty's gov
eminent until they could state that a sat
isfactory result had been attained. before
he asked for any informationof the partie
' ular state of the negotiations.
One word with respect to what had fall- I ,
en from the honorable member front Mon
trose. Her Majesty required the attention !
of the House to the increase in the esti- t
Mates which provided for the' efficiency of;
the military and naval services.
Ile could well understand that with the
increased possessions adds couture abroad
and the consequently increased demands
on the services of our military and naval
forces in every part of the world. there might
be reasons for the increase of the estimates'
even at a season of profound peace, and
when nothing threatened on any side ; and'
he trusted that it was on these grounds,
and not on account of anything in the as
pect of affairs, with reference to the UM
led States, that Her Majesty's government
had made this increase.
He, for his part, had fors= e time Thought
thdt the efficiency of the military force of:
this country at its present amount was too
much tried, and that too m uch was demand-'
ed from that force.- '
His second question was this, I ler
Majesty stated that for several years a des- i
olating and •sangoinary Warfare had aflliet s 'l
ed the States of the Rio de la Plata, and it
was farther stated that Her Majesty was
endeavoring to effect the pacification of
. those Statea. '
ne_(Lord Julio Russell) understood.that
the endeavor to effect a pacification had
lien prosecuted by means of warlike meass
tires, and he fioniewhav doubted whether
that was the right mode of proceeding. It
was true, it was stated, that the etinuneree
of all nations had been interrupted. But::
it was farther stated that “acts of great bar
barity had been:committed unknown to the •
practice of a civilicd people." . Acts of
barbarity were certainly very dreadful things
but he doubted whether it was wise in her
Majesty's government to state- that as a
ground of a forcible intervention. They
had heard—though he s 'mild not name the
Countries in which they had taken pLe.,-
burtney naa ticard - ot t eadful nets of bar- ,
barity in other pa o he world ; and cer
tainly he' had n he rd it proposed by any
wise statesman t there should be any in
tervention in those countries. The ques
tion which he had to submit to the right
' hon. baronet, was, whether he proposed to
lay on the table any papers explanatory'of
the ground on which her Majesty's govern
ment thought it necessary to interfere with
the warfare 'which had occurred in the
States of the Rio de la Plata
, SIR Roui - arr PEEL.--With referende to
the question just put by the noble lord, I
beg to say, that not foreseeing that he
s'yo,uld put it, I aiwnot at present prepared

to crave diet he will postpone his question

Oregon territory, I have to state.that a pro
posal was made by Mr. Buchanan,
.(See
retary of State) with the authority of the
Vresident of the IT. States, to, Mr. Paken
ham, and the proposal so made suggested
a division of the territory. Whether or not
the proposal ought to have been accepted
I cannot say. Mr. Pakenham thought that
the terms proposed were so little likely to
be acceptable, that he did not feel himself
warranted in transmitting the proposal to
the government at home; and_ on signify
ing this to Mr. Buchanan, the latter intim:- I
diately stated that the proposal was with

TilE ASPECT OF THE NEWS
From the National Intelligencer
We have looked carefully through the
English Newspapers on the subject of Or
ego'', and attentively considered what has
been expressed by leading personS in both
'Houses of Parliament, and we confess we
do not see much change in the aspect of
things, nor any change that can be regard
ed as favorable. It appears to us that the
English Ministry stand where they stood
some mmiths ago, in the respective decla
rations of Lord ABERDEEN and Sir ROBERT
PEEL; and we apprehend that an impres—
sion will be made still more unfavorable on
the. English Ministry and English mind
when it . shall he seen that the government
of the United States has repeatedly reject
ed what can hardly fail to be regarded as
terms fora fair and honoyable termination
of the disptite..
We" may add, as another circumstance
ealetilated to cause deep regret, that the re
marks made by the President, in his mes
sage aLthe Opening of the Session, respect
ing the conduct of FRANCE, have produced
just the effect :Which discreet persons fore
saw—nainely, a degree of astonishment at
the President's language, and an impres
sion unfavorable on the whole, as we great
ly fear, to the general , character and con
duct Odle present American Gevernment.
Well may it be asked, What wisdom, then

A 11Auswici ? :NT I3nniE!—The propo
sition of the English to adopt the Free
Trade policy, it is evident, is held out as a
bribe to our government to destroy the A
merican'Tariff, and judging from the indi
cations every day more strongly exhibited
by the administration at Washington, they
are determined to take the bait and. meet
our commercial rivals more than halt way.
We have no doubt that if England will
couple with her proposed repeal of the
Corn Laws, a proposition to relax her
claim to a part of Oregon, that the whole
system of protection to American industry
will be gladly; laid at her feet. For this
paltry - consideration, our rulers arc willing
to sacrifice all the great interests of the
country, and make the U. States a mere
tributary to English power and wealth and
ambition. All they ask is the honor of
having acquired a few leagues of barren
territory, and they arc ready to adopt a
policy that will make the whole Union
one wide spread scene of ruin, and render
us a nation of bankrupts. • What a glorious
consummation !---Lancaster Union.
thiRIOUS AFFRAY WITH INDIANS.r-A seri
ous affray took place recently at Musko
day, Wisconsin, between a patty of whites
and a party of Winnebago Indians, and
which resulted in the death of four of the
Indians. A small party of the Winnebago
tribe of Indians stole a canoe belonging to
a white. The owner of the canoe, in coin
panY with several of his neighbors, pur
sued the Indians and gave them a pretty
severe drubbing. The Indians rallied, to
what number not known, and met the whites
again; who had secured a party of about
forty, both sides provided with fire arms.
Upon meeting, the. whites sent a messen
ger with a flag of truce, who was received
with tokens of menace and defiance; the
Indians then fired, wounding two whites,
which upon being returned by the whites,
resulted either in the death or. wounding of
four Indians. Thus ended the contest.—
An application was made to the Legisla
ture to legalize the organization of a com
pany of horse, which - .the citizens had rais

• A GREAT SNow Sron.74.—The Syra . -
cuse (N. J.) Journal says:—“The whole
country is buried beneath an avalanche of
snow, which fell from the clouds, princi
pally during the. morning of Sunday, the
fifteenth inst. The snow storm com
menced Saturday evening about an hour
before midnight, and those who were up
to attend the Railroad trains at 4 o'clock
next morning, state there was then some
six inches of snow on the ground. • Be
tween that hour and nine o'clock, the snow
fell so rapidly that it had accumulated to
the depth of two feet! A heavier fall of
snow, within the same time was never
known. After oor 10 o'clock the storm
abated, and by one had ceased nearly alto
gether.
The entire depth of snow which fell
within a periotrof 14 hours, was not less
than 28 inches, (which is our measurement)
Whilst most persons estimate it at two feet
and a half. This is an average of 2 niches
per hour during the whole Storm, whilst
in ordinary storms the fall is not over an
inch per hour. We arc told that during
the thickest of the s torm, after daylight, the
snow fell seven inches in an hour and a
half! We cannot vouch for this as a fact
but it must haVe come down at very near
this rate at the height of the storm.
OCEAN STEANSIIIPS.—We learn that a
contract has been entered into by the Gov
ernment of the U. States with the Ocean
Steam-Navigation Company, chartered in
this State, for the establishment of .a
line of steam shins, to run between New
York and Europe. A vessel is to take
her departure twice in each month, for
Cowes and 43remen. The Government is
to pay $lOO,OOO per annum for the con
veyance of the mail, &c. &c. The vessels
arc to be of a not less than 4400 tons bur
then, .and they are to make their voyages
with speed not less than that of the Cunard
line. • The arrangements for building are
in active progress, and it is expected that
the first will hereaav to start on the Ist

SLAVE REV4I,I!: A . , , ND Loss or• -
There was considerable of a revolt on the
13th instant among the slaves on the plan
tation of Messrs. Hewett, Kieran and Co..
about ten miles from New Orleans. during
which two of them.- were shot dead and a
number dangerolNy wounded. One of
the slaves was being whipped for some of .
fence, when the remainder, seventy in num
ber, stopped work, and rushed on their o
verseers; with the cry of Now let's kill
them all—liberty or death !" A number
of the white persons were wounded with
their hoes. The slaves from an adjoining
plantation came to the assistance of their
masters, and did efficient service in pro
tecting their lives. A number of them fled
to the woods, but this remainder were se
cured and placed in confinement. The fu
gitives will doubtless• be semi overtaken,
as a:party were in pursuit of them.
JOHN JACOB Aston.—The . following is
given as the estimate of Mr. Astor's im
mense wealth, in a bookof the "Rich Men
of New York." It says, "that those know
ing his affairs best place it at 630,000,000
and some as high even as $50,000,000.--
His income, on a moderate estimate, must
be $2,000,000 a year, or $166,000 a month;
which is about $11,500 a week, $5,7.00 a
day, $240 an hour, and $1 a minute. Mr.
Astor has made a donation of $350,000 for
a library in New York, the interest of which
is to be expended in employing agents to
purchase books, and to the erection of a
building."
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT BHIHEHV.-Mr.
Knapp, a member of the House of Repre
sentatives of the Ohio Legislature, on the
16th inst., charged George W. Holbrook,
of Allen county, with an attempt to invade
his integrity as a representative of the peo
ple. He charged him with an attempt to
bribe him to the support of a project for
the erection of a new county, by the offer
of town property in the county town and
lands in the vicinity of the town, at a mere
ly nominal price. Resolutions for the ar
raignment ofthe - offender before the Mouse
were referred to a select committee of
five.
The SENATE of the State of VUTGINIA,
being asked to give its assent. to certain
Resolutions intended to operate upon the
Senate of the U. States in favor of the 'No
tice' to Great Britain, acted with a dignity
and independence worthy of the ancient
fame of that Commonwealth. The Reso
lutions coining up for consideration on Sat
urday were, after a protracted debate, or
dered to lie on the table by a vote of 18
to 10.

Poreir,n News.
rl:7 - With a view of putting our readers in pos
session of the more important iterits of EtiriMenn
intelligence, brought out by the Cambria. we have
devoted more than usual space to the comments of
the-London Press and the debates in the Engiish
Parliament upon the Oregon question. The news
is generally hailed. as pacific., and as such can
not fail to be in the highest degree gratifying to
the friends of peace and humanity: It will bel
seen that the public feeling in England at the time
of the sailing of the Cambria, was altogether dis
posed to the preservation of peace and an amica
ble settlement of the Oregon controversy. The
Queen's speech upon the opening of 'Parliament,
the remarks of Sir Rnbert Peel and Lord John
Russell,during debates upon the difficulties of the
two countries, all breaths spirit of conciliation,
and the prevailing opinion was that the differem
ces could and would be settled without a resort
to the dread alternative of %var. Intelligence how
ever, had not reached England of th positive and
unequivocal rejection by our Government of all
offers to dispose of the matter by arbitration, and
it is feared by many that the reception of this in
telligence may work a revulsion of feel;ng—ai,st
tend to dissipate these favorable symptons.--
There is no intelligence of interest from the con
iibent, save the accounts of the debates in the
French Chamber upon the exceptionable and un

French Government in his last annual message.—
In Ireland the Repeal agitation is continued by o'.
'Connell, who was attending public meetings and

The Pennsylvania Inquirer of yesterday morn

dedly pacific. We have seen letters from gentle
men likely to be well informed, who express the
opinion that an amicable and satisfactory arrange
ment will be determined upon, and in a great meas
ure consummated before the adj mrnment of the

Tie News—Tree-Trade:
That portion of the foreign intelligence in to-day's
papers relating to the modification •of the British
commercial restrictions, and the cordial approbi.
tiOn of the Free-trade policy of our Administra
tion by the Engflab Government, will not fail to
attract the serious attention of every reader. We
presume there never was a more humiliating spec
ta.tle of national hyjmerisy and deception than
that developed by dictate foreign arrivals. While
at home, the Administration has beeen most loud
and boisterous in its claims to the "whole of Ore.
con or none," and, througll'its representatives and
presses, been denouncing, as influenced by British
feelings,'all who have dared to raise their voices
against the reckless eflint to involve the country
in an unnecessary and disastrous War. to appease
the clamors of political deniagogues=at the very
time that these sweeping denunciations cif our best
citizens arc falling fast and thick from the lips Of
pensioned agents of Government—we find officers
high in the confidence of the Administration plot
ting a most infamou4 "bargain and Pale with her
Majesty's Ministers—proposing, in plain words,
to piti-cha sc' a title to Oregon, hitherto declared
to be "indisputable. - the condition of the bond to
be realized in the sacrifice of American Industry
to the grasping avarice of British capitalists.—
'rho ports of our country are to he thrown open to
the reception of the products of foreign pauper la
bor, our Markets to be glutted with French and
English importations, and the glorious equivalent
for all to b - S. nothing More or less than a
few feet of barren territitory, coasting the far off
shores of the Pacific. What say the industrial
population, the mechanics and labor era of Penn=
sylyania, Co all this '?
The identity of policy and sympathy up
on the tariff question between our Admit'-
: nitration and the British Government, is too
plainly evinced by the high eulogy pro
nounced upoOeeretary Walker's Report
by Sir Reber/Peel e.and the Free-trade par
ty of England, to admit of any doubt.-- .
Hereafter, come what may, let Its at least
hear no more of British Whigs! "Mr.
Polk,_lllr. ‘Valker and. Cp., have now fair
ly started a•Brilish Party, the party which
advocates British . interests, and placed
themselves at its head. Opposed to this
party and to them, is the AlleriCan party,
which - advocates the fostering of American
interests and the protection of American la
bor.. Their motto is, "let Congress take
care of labor, and capil4 tit ill take care of
itself?" TfiePolicy of the Brtmsn PArt
fir to reduce the wages of labor down to
the standard of the hall,fed, half-clothed
and half-housed labor of Europe; for such
will be the inevitable effect of unrestricted
I trade and commerce between this country.
and Europe.".
Mr. Gibbon's and Judge Conrad.
tr-The bitter invective of Mr. Gin-
BONS, made during the course of the debate
on the Right of Way question in the Sen
ate, and published in the last Star, was un
derstood to have a reference to Judge Cox-
RAD, of Philadelphia, one of the writers for
the North American—the paper in . which
Mr: G. was so malignantly assailed. Im
mediately after the publication of Mr. Gib
bon's invective, it became rumored that
Judge Conrad had tendered him a challenge
per Charles J. Biddle, Esq. and that it
had been declined.
On Tuesday last the subject was brought
before the Senate by Mr. Sullivan, Who
moved the appOintment of a committee to
investigate the matter, which, after some
discussion, was acceded to, yeas 21, nays
6 1 —and Messrs. Sullivan, Chapman, and
Bigler appointed the committee. During
the consideration of the resolution, Mr.
Gibbons was called up, and in reply to a
question of Mr. Sullivan he stated that he
had received no challenge, but that he had
received N. verbal communication asking
for his views on the subject of duelling,
and whether he would accept a challenge,
if otrered. My views (said Mr. G.) have
been freely expressed upon this subject,
and are well known in Philadelphia—nor
do I now hesitate to declare that I could
not, as a. husband, as a father, or as a citi
zen, peril my life in such, a manner.

contains a caustic card from Judge Con
rad in which after'detailing the above facts

that part of the colored race now in this,
country, as well as to those in Africa.

with a fervid and impressive appeal in favor of
the great principles of Colonization:

Anniversary Celebration.
The anniversary of WitsnisoTox's Birth
day was celebrated in Christ's. church, on
Monday last, by the friends of Temper
ance and our citizens generally. Arrangc 7
mews had been made, a Reader and an
Orator procured for the occasion by the
Union 'Anal Abstinence Society of Get
tysburg. At 10 o'clock, A. M., at the ring
ing of the bell, the Beneficial Temperance
Association marched in procession to the
Church, where many citizens also assem
bled and not a few of the fair.
The exercises commenced with an ap
propriate address to the throne of Grace by
Rev. Mr. SWITZER, of the M. E. Church.
The Farewell Address was read by .A.
R. STEVENSON, Esq. in a tone and manner
l
onsonant with the calmn dignity and sol
emn impressiveness of that inimitable doe
' ument. The stillness that rested upon the
audience was a deep and heart-felt tribute
to the memory of the Father of his coun. 7
try. What elevated and holy sentiments
breathe through those farewell words
Hew happily do they—as erst, in vision,
to the prophetic ken of our immortal hero—
' "recur, to modify the fury of party-spirit,
to warn against the mischiefs of foreign in
trigue, to guard against the impostures of
pretended patriotism." The alThetion, the
sincerity, the earnestness, which actuated
and characterized their txpression—their
elevation, purity, sagacity, and profound
political philosophy, and the almost pro
: phetic foresight of their necessity, in every
era of our advancing history—all consti
tute them an inestimable boon to the coun
trymen of the great and good Washington.
Often should they be rehearsed in the hear
ing
of our nation. Happy must be my ;
country whilst these warnings of wisdom '
are unforgotten ! As through the voice of
the rehearser they entered into my soul,
vividly did_ they recall the beautiful, bold
apostrophe of a former fellow-citizen :
qiiipirit of our Father ! tilast thou come
to witness the solemnities of the day ?
Why is thy brow knit with anguish—thy
face so marked with deep solicitude—thy
tones so broken with apprehension ! What
troubles thee that thou art here ? Retire,
venerated, beloved Shade, to the peace
thou bast left ! Thy counsels arc still re
garded—thy warnings still remembered—
thy fame thy country's treasure, thy ex
ample her niodel !
.
Atter the conclusion of the reading of
the Farewell Address, the exercises were
enlivened by the performance of a beauti
ful piece of Sacred Music by the members
of the Choir of- Clirist's Church, who
kindly.discoursed sweet sounds during the
intervals on the occasion.
An Oration inns then pronounced by
Rev. President KKAUTII. His subject was
George Washington--a theme, which, to
every American heart, is eloquence. itself.
The Orator asked for a parallel in history
with which to .compare our warrior and
sage. Profa . ne'history could not produce
one. The actors upon its stage stood at
ait immeasurable .distance from our ; Hero.
There was but one of the race—Dire whose
history Revelation has stereotyped f6rim
mortality-that did not §uirer by - the com
parison. That iv as Muses, the great Jew- i
ish Lawgiver. The learned speaker then :
proceeded to institute thecomparisotkand
mei the eNiz , tintr iu tiferliVi;:lanir
characters of these two equal yet unequal-1
led / rti'en, of each of whom the Genius. of !
History can exclaim,
"Thou art Freedom's now, sod ratne's!!"
The prodtiction was eharacteriked in its.
very first ideas, and in its detail; by origi
nality, yet an•originality mingling with a
simplicity and Unforced naturalness of
style, that together constituted its excel
lence and beauty.
The analogies were minutely and skil
fully traced, and the Orator, like the miner ,
striking his shaft into a bed of rich .and
mellow ore, at each step..developed new
and hidden beauties and: treasures. The
parallel was a remarkably perfect ono,--
The speaker exhibited it in the circumstan
ces of the nativity and youth - of:these won
derful tnen—their mental culture—their
maternal educationtheir military training
in the school of hardship and danger--their
noble disinterestedness—their modest self
estimationtheir distinguishing intellectu
al and moral charanTristies—their histo
ries—their struggles and triumphs—their
characters as legislators—their farewell ad
dresses—their deaths—their kindred im
mortality.
George 'Washington was held up to the
view of Americans as the true model of a
a citizen—a - 106'e, a good, a true inan—a•
man abol:'e reproach, that could not stoop—
an incorruptible citizen—one that had too
high an estimation of human nature ever to
de g rade its smallest fraction into .a tool.—
And we were warned that upon the cher
ished admiration and faithful practice of
his principles, and a sacred regard for his
admonitions, depended the existence and
destiny of this great nation !
But we must close this hurried and im
perfect sketch—not, however, without ex
pressing our gratilication!—a gratification
felt in common with our fellow-citizens—
that the Comininee have solicited for pub
lication this excellent Address.
The Benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Mr.. KELLER, and with another ap
propriato piece of music, the Anniversary
closed.
