From Washs Paris Letter to tho National Intel encer | We have an immediate concern in the last article of the Foreign Quartcrly-an elaborate exposition of the Oregon question:, in behalf 0f the British pre- tensons.

Professor Michel Chevalier has subscribed his initials to this manifesto against American Demo- cracy. It is in the same vein which he wrote of the General in his Letters from the United States. It ahounds with erroneous and mistaken judgements. The biographical sketch embraces dreadful picture of Western habits. The memory of Jackson is ar ragned all scores. He is charged with having changed the United States considerably for the verse; the American people being no longer suscep- tbe of rational control direction, but subject 10 Democrat ic passions alone.

He ends with the remark, that Jackson's memory s big with glory and evil; but Washington's IS all lustre and good.
