" uSHtHgt0H oIpTI l9 1o4O. A. II. RUTHERFORD, Eso:

 Dear Sr-We have no news, from Eng land, snce my last, to change the aspect of our relations with tbat goverDment; and there is strong hope tHat no farther difficulties are to be apprehended, unless she is dispos- ed to hold on to more than half of Oregon, to one foot of which she has not even the color of a title. If such be her purpose, she will be met, as her audacity will deserve.- But we shall pass all our Oregon Bills, and the notice, in the hope that England, know ing her true interest, will yield that to which she has no just claim. / Our relations with Mexico, however, are not oi so peaceable q character, Mr. Shdell IS expected here in few days; and then we shall fully understand those relations, and how we are to act upon them. shall not be at all surprised to learn that Gen. Taylor has had brush with the Mexicans, on the Rio Grande. In that event, it is not unlea- sonable to expect that England will take part Tn the dispute; and that may lead to a rup- ture with both nations, at once

 send you the ssUnion" containing-the Bill extending jurisdiction, over Oregon', and the esolntlon of notice, modified in theaSenate and then amended in our House They will both pass, ln some shape, and meet the views ol large majority of congress.

 On the subject of Oregon, am pleased tc find but little party spirit prevailing. The opposition to the measure is more in form than Tn substance, and without being con- fined to either party.

 am happy to be able to say that we havs passed by large majority, in the House, tho lNDEPENDE TREASURY Bill; and i will be concurred in by the Senate

 For the next week or ten days, we shal be occupied in passing the ordinary appro. prialion Bills. Then we shall take up tho Bill for graduating Me price of he pubHc lamds-and pass it, hope. After that vii come the "tug of war' upon the T'ari6 This will, inevitably, consume much time But the Bill will be modified, and finally pass I have no doubt. Then it will be prope and expedlent for congress to adjourn; but a what time we may be able to do so, no ont can now tell--perhaps not before the mlddl' of July.

 T see our friends in the Northern counties are complaining about the want of mail routes and post offices. l have attended promptly to every application, from that and every other quarter, which has reached me. Ant to all further applications, made either to m, or my colleagues, am sure that prompt at tention will be given. Petitions should b' for s'New Roules, New Onices'' Sc.

 Your ob't. servt.,

 A YELL.
