WASHINGTON, Sunday, 10 p NJ
have this moment been informed by a person
connected with one of the departm. nts, tina, vii.
son Shannon, the Minister to Mexico, has Jeff that
country IN high dudgeon, and will return TO
Washington by way of New Orleans forthwith.
This will close further negotiation with Mexico;
and no doubt, If Almonte has left New York, that
declaration of war by Mexico will follow He
Was at the Carlton House, have heard, and if he
has left there, you may rest assured that he has
gone to Havana, where he will issue letters OF
marque and reprisal at once.


WASHINGTON, Dec. ..
First Movement Of Occupation of Oregom-May Of


the Boundary-O~e Day Election Lau.


DR.. Duncan's bill for the immediate occupation
of Oregon will be presented TO the house on Tues
day. This bill calls for the occupation of the
whole extent of territory from the Mexican boun.
dary south to the line OF latitude 81 nohn, giving
the English nation extent Of 60 miles of sea
coast, where they reach the Russian boundary
la this territory the English government have AREA
dy established eight forts or military stations, and
below the line Of boundary settled east of the ter
rltory they have also erected five forts, two Of
which are on the south bank Of the Columbia
river, point at which they have never seriously
presented claim The boundary line on ths
east OF the territory fixed in 1875 extends north to
Vancouver's Island in the Srslts Of Fuca, and no
variation from that point will ever be admitted by
the American people. In this portion OF The terri
tory between the Columbia river and Vancou-
vers Island, the last named military stations
have been established by the British gov
ernment, and they have thus assumed the
night OF possession military control of the
whole territory 10 the mouth Of the Colum-
ba river, and modestly acceded 10 the u States
the remant OF the territory, with 240mies oi noun
famous sea coast, with not hsrbor or navigable
stream IN the whole distance. That such divi-
sion OF this territory will ever be atquiesced in by
the American peope, is not TO be listened for an
Instant. The British government can never be al
lowed an inch below the line Of 1878, as extended
on the east Of the mountains, and that claimed by
Mr. Duncan, will be sustained by better argument
than can be presented by the British nego,iators In
favor Of their night and te The bill oi Mr. Dun
can IS m~rey Tor the present occupancy leaving the
