OREGON United States Gazette of yesterday, commenting on the foreign news says

 "The present question is one of territory, thousands of miles from the United States: of land in which we have no agreeable asso. citations, in which we have no interest as a nation, and with which there can be little connected te create pride of attachment. n

 Indeed!-Letus see what this is ill which we have "no interest as nation. J Ore gon is as large as the old thirteen States, having streams that flow into the Pacific ocean, and navigable to point not moro than four hundred miles west of the naviga- hle waters of the II. States, through which latter streamsboats now pass to N. Y. and N. Orleans. From New York to China, round the Cape of Good Hope, is l5,750 miles, performed by our sailing vessels in ono nun dred to one hundred ann fifty days; via Co., lumbia river, the distance is 9,200 miles, and with q railroad to fhe Pacific and thence to China by steamers, can be performed in thr- ty daysl Oregon will be the depot of that trade which, as in the case of all nations that have ever held it, brings with it the sov- ereignty of the world. The Asiatic trade has always followed the course of Empire. Tyre held it and was called ssQueen of cit- ies; D Jerusalem possessed it in the time of Solomon; Alexandria, in the days of its foun- der; Rome, in the times of the Republic and of the Empire, Constantinople succeeded Rome and held the trade until the 18th een- tury; Venice and Genoa diverted portion of 1t, and rose rapidly to wealth and power; Buroes and AntwprD also succeeded in diver ting a share the portugese doubled the Cape, established commercial Empire in India, and became the possessors of wealth; the Dutch soon followed, and by their superior skill in trade and greater frugality and indus try, Holland gained the trade, Portugal de- clined into its original insignifeance, and Amsterdam rose to be the great city of Eu- rope; the English followed the Dutch, and after many conflicts wrested the trade from the hands of the saving fIollanders. Aided by the lights of science then bursting upon Europe, by an adroit command of talent wherever it could be found, England, San Is- land in the Occan'' founded an Empire in India hitherto unequalled. Wealth and in- 1uence followed. But her decadence has begun. The course ol Empire is now with her ancient colonies And our Oregon, which we are told is of ..no interest to us as na- tion,n when settled, will be the avenue thro' which the nations of Europe will, If we are only true to ourselyes,) receive at our hands the produce of the Indles.-.T Y.
