gone through mass OF English newspapers orooght
by the Hibernla including the productions OF the
Conserv alive, The Whg and the Neutral presses
We have seen also various private letters from gem
temen of character and intelligence. In the political
and commercial world. to their American friends
The information derived from these sources is OF the
highest importance 10 the People of the United States
at the present moment; and. intending hereafter 10
give readers copious extracts from the papers,
we content ourselves al present with suggesting
I the reflections which OCCUR TO us as being, on the
whole the fair general result


From opinions heretofore expressed by us, il
would be inferred. without the repetition OF those
opinions. that we deem the restoration or return
OF Sir Robert Peel to power favorable 10 the peace
of The TWO countries.


This opinion founded, in great part, on the
| character of Lord Pamerston, who, 1t was most
natural to suppose would come into office with Lord
John Russell Secretary OF State for Foreign
Affairs. Ii would seem that on this very question,
viz the putting the Seals OF the Foreign Office into
the hands of ord Palmerston Lord Johns attempt TO
form an Administration failed Lord Grey refused
10 Join an Administration in which Lord Pamerston
should fill that post and we think he acted wisely,
and for the peace Of the world, in that decision
Lord GREY (beuer known rs Lord Howick) is per-
son of decided character and vigorous talent He is
himself sufficiently fond of political controversy and
when he took his in the House OF Lords, on the
death of the venerable Earl his father, many sharp
passage AT arms was expected TO occur between him
and L ord Brougham and perhaps between HIM and
Lord Stanley 1t is somewhat remarkable, perhaps
and shows the case to be strong one, that person
of warm and rather controversial mot 10 say pug
nacious temper like himself. should object TO Lord
Palmers,on on account of his inprudent rash, and
fiery temper.


There are differences of opinion in welnformed
circles in England of the stability and duration Of
the restored government of Sir Robert Peel. These
doubts aud differences grow out OF the present con
diton of the Corn-Law question In regard 10 this
question Sir Robert had kept his own counseis, and
a letter of January Sd latest date) says The Pub


lie are entirely ignorant of the measures IN the con-
templaton of Sir Robert Peel. believe that he
will come out strongly for the principles OF Free
Trade; but that is only guess. The landed inter
est is evidently in great alarm. Our letters ex
press belief that the Corn Laws are destined 10
immediate and total repeal and that Sir Robert, not
being ready for such measure. will not long re-
( main al the head of affairs. Our own judgment Is
OF little value and fit perhaps 10 be ones guide
on this question but since II Is, as we think ques-
tion on which the peace of the United States may
more or less depend, we have endeavored TO weigh
probabilities as well caa and our conclusion
is that Sir Robert Peel is likely retain the favor
ofthe Crown and the support OF Parliament


We found this opinion, ofcourse, principally upon
the acknowledged prudence and wisdom OF his
character. and the great hold which he evidently
has on the mass of the community. He may not be
able satisfy entirely the landed interest but II
that interest abandon Sir Robert, into whose hands
will il fall Besides the commercial and manuac-
turing interests 10 be considered as well as the
great interest OF land owners and land occupiers,
which latter, by the way, is quite as important as
the former. And on the whole unless some COM
promise or adjustment can be effected, by the coun.
sells of Sir Robert Peel we do not see how the Gov
ernment of England is to escape the danger OF the
most violent contests, between one interest and
( another and one branch of business and another.


Supposing it to be most likely, then. that Sir
I Robert Peel will maintain his position with Lord
! Aberdeen near him, and most OF his recent col
leagues around him. the question interesting 10 the
people of the United States is, Will the English
Government be disposed TO settle the Oregon ques-
J tion and on what terms


We have often, and recently, expressed our con.
| vic,ion that Sir Robert Peels administration does
! not wish for war with the United States On the
contrary we doubt il is truly ANXIOUS 10 avoid It.
! AT the same time, il would De great mistake TO
! suppose that clustering, defamation, and prestige
| can produce any effect its determination Sir
/ Roberr Peel dare not, if he would concede any
thing TO mere pretence or submit 10 any thnS whch
would imply dishOnor 10 his country Lord Jonh

line of boundary consistent with the honor and sub
