We have received from Washington the followl
ing explicit letter from the President to the Senate,
ia relation to the Oregon question. We learn by
the same mail, from the same hand, that the joint
resolutions for the annexation of Texas, from the
House, are certainly expected to pass the Senate
by majority of two votes, considerable change
having been effected in the minds of certain Sena-
tors since the arrival of Mr.. Polk at Washington.
The bill will be disposed Of by Saturday (this)
evening.
