The On30n Ci the 18th ult. saws :
"aner Mr.. Dickinson concluded his
remarks, a motion Was offered by Mr..
Dayton, for the postponement ofthe far
thcr consideration of the subject till
Monday fortnight, on the ground that
the recent news from England was emf
nently pacific, and that correspond.
ing spirit should be manifested here.
Messrs. Allen and Cass opposed, in II
very decided manner, this motion--ex.
pressed their doubts as to the pacific
character Of the news--reiterated
their views as 10 the wisdom and du,y
of presenting bold and un(altering
attitude--and urged that postpone-
ment would be virtually departure
from the unshrinking course thus far
pursued.

in the course of the debate, says
the correspondent of the Baltimore

You will see from the debate in the
Senate, Of yesterday, that there is a
wish, ON the part of some members OF
that body, to put the Oregon notice
into some definite form, in accordance
with the sense of the Senate, before
the discussion proceeds further. There
is some project on foot in regard to
this matter, by which the Senate will
be enabled To- act with remarkable
degree ofunanimity, as well as mode.

from certain circumstances that oc>

further negotiation will take place
through Mr.. Pakenham.

every step which is hereafter to be
taken, on either side, will bring US
nearer to a collision.


1t seems TO be the impression, that
the new tariff will oe pressed in the
House at an early day, with view TO
operate favorably on our relations
with England; but there is no doubt
that il will meet with vigorous res
sistance.
