Hir Robert Pet I, at half past fire o’deck, entered the
House amid profound silence and took his seat. Ins
i-m moineLl* he rose and spoke as follow*:
Mr. Speaker,—Sir. I feel it to be my duty to avail my
nelf ot the earliest opportunity of notifying to this
House, that, in con*eq jcoce of the position ol her Maj
esty’s Government, and especially in consequence ol
that vote to which the House came on the night of
Thursday last, by which they refused to give to her
Majesty’* Government those powca which they deem
ed necessity for the repression ot outrage and the pro
tection *l life in Ireland, her Majesty s servants have
felt it their duty to lender their resignation to a gra
cious Sovereign. The resolution to tender that resig
nation was tbe unanimous re*olu ion of her Msj-s'y’*
servants, adopted without hesitation. Sir, Ido hope
we leave the foreign relations of this country in a sat
isfactory stale—(loud cl.eers)—that, 6peaking not only
nf Frauce, hut speaking of ibe other great powers of
Europe, there is confidence in the intentions of this
country, and a real desire on the part of the govern
ments of othsr powers to co-operate with us in the
maintenance of peace. (Cheer* ) Sir, it is that mu
tual cenfidence in the honor aod intentions of public
men which most facilitates the maintenance of peace.
We come in conflict with France in distant parts of
the world; there are heated partisans naturally and
justly jealous of the honor of their respective countries;
quarrels, srnvll in themselves, might lie magnified by
the spirit of jealousy, arid a too nice rivalry almut na
tional honor might easily be fomented into o cause of
war, deg'Matins nations, unless the counsels of the great
power* were presided over by those wb< feeling
t be the true imere t of the civilized world, are detei
mined that the heated pasdons of angry pariizans shall
not involve their respective countries in war. (Loud
cheers.) Sir, if anything could hive induced me to
regret decision on the pert ot the House | rem.turely
terminating the existence of the government, it would
have been the wish that we should have survived the
day when intelligence might be received from tbe U
lilted State* (loud cheer*) as to the result of, perhaps,
our last attempt to adjust those differences between this
country grid the United ‘States which, unless speedily
terminated, might have involvcj ua in wr,
The House will probably recollect that after we of
fared arbitration, and that oflr had been rejected, the
President of the United Stales sent a message to the
Houses of Congress in that country, whir-Is led to dis
cussion* with regard to the tcirniuation of that conven
tion which provided for a temporary adjustment of out
differences—at Last. foi the temporary avoidance ol
l quarrel,—and enable the two countries jointly to oc
cupy the territory ot the Oregon. Hir, ihv two Houses
•4 the A meiicsn Congress, although advising tbe Pres
ident ol the United States to signify to this country,
a* he was empowered to do, the termination ot the ex
isting convention, by giving a yeai’s notice, added to
that advice, whirl) might, perhaps, have born consider
of an unsatisfactory nr hostile character, the declara
tion that they advised the notice for the termination of
the convention to be given, in order that it might fact I*
itate in amicable adjustment of the diapute. We
thaught the addition of thsoo words by those high au
thorities. the expression of a hope that the termination
ot the convention might lbs more slronuly impress
upon the two countries the necessity of amicable ad
justment—we thought the** expression* removed any
bamer to a renewal by either country of the attempt
to settle this difference.
We did not hesitate, therefore, within two days after
thg receipt of that intelligence of a wish expressed by
•fte two Houses of Congress that efforts might be made
for the peace 1 u I termination of ttie*r disputes, although
the offer of arbitration had been rejected—we did not
hesitate to do that which, in ths present slats of the
dispute, it became essential to do— not to propose re
newed and lengthy negotiations, but to specify frankly
and at once what were the terms on which w could
consent *o a partition of the country of the Oregon.—
ttir, ( ibe president of the United Bl*te*,l must say .what
ever might havo been the expressions heretofore us-d
by him, and however strongly he might have been |ier
annally committed to the adoption of a different course
wisely and patriotically determined at once to refer our
proposition Vo the Senate, —that authority of the Unit
ed Htetee whose consent is requisite lor the termina
tion of any negotiation of this kind, aod the Heriate
again acting in the same spirit, has. I have the heart
felt satisfaction to stale, at once advised the adoption
of tha term* wt nffcred them, (Loud cheer.) Sir,
perhaps from the importance of the subject, and con
sidering tins is the la-t day I shall have to address the
House at Minuter of tbe Crown, I may be allowed to
tn afatf nhat are the terms of the we mx.le j i
to the United “States on the Oregon question. In order
to prevent the necea.iiy far renewed diplomatic nego
tiations, we sent a convention which we trusted the
United Btatei would accept. The fmt article of that
convention was to tins efiect, that
From ile point on the 49th parallel of north lati
tude, witere the boundary laid down in existing treaties
and conventions between Great Britain and the United
States ter in i nates, the linn of boundary between the
trrritorie* ol her Britanic majesty and those of the U
nilcj Stales shall be continued westward along tbe 4911i
parallel of north latitude to the middle of tbe channel
which separatftthc continent from Vancouver's Island,
• rid thence southerly through the middle of said clisri
nel and straits, south ol the 19th parallel of north lati
tude, remain free and open to both parties.’’
Those who understand the local conformation ol
Ilial country will understand that we proposed the
4y.li parallel of latitude tili it strikes the Snails of Fil
et* . that it should not be < ontinui and across Vancouver’*
Island—thus depriving us of any part of \ ancouver’s
Island—but leaving us in posses ion of tin* whole ot
\ utieouvei’s Island. Sir, the Necoml article of the con
vention we sent for the acceptance of the United Slate*
was to this allcct, that —
•• From the point at which the 49th parallel of north
latitude shall he found to intersect the great not them
branch ol the t’olurnbia river ihc navigation ol the
said branch shall Ire free and open to the Hudson’s Bay
Company, and to alt British suitert* trading with the
same, to the point where the said branch meets the
m jiii st ram of the Columbia, and them e down the
-aid in tin stream to the ocean, with free access into
auJ through the said river or rivers, it heui{! understood
that ail the n-uil portages along the line thus describ
ed shall in like manner he free and op n. In naviga
ting the -aid river or rivers, British subjects with their
goods and produce, shall be treated on the name t toting
;s citizen* of the United IS t a tea, it being, however, al
ways understood that nothing in this article shall he
ooctrued as preventing, or intended to prevent, the
Government ol the Urpod from linking any rr
gulatioiiM respecting the navigation of the mid river or
rives, not inconsistent with the present treaty.”
Mir, I will not occupy the attention of the House
with any more of the details of this convention. —
(Goeer* ) I would only Mate that on this very day
on my return frsrn rnv mission to Her Majesty to offer
the resignation of Her Majesty’s servant*, I had the ,

of our proposals, and giving an a**urace of the imme

(Loud and continued cheering.) Thus,ir, these two
great nations, impel ed. I believe, by public opinion,
which to guiJe and influence statesman, have,
by moderation—by the sfdnt of mutual compromise,
averted that dreadful calamity of a war between two
nations of kindred race and common langoage—(loud
cheers)—the breaking out of which would have involv
ed the civilized mtot JJ in calamities to an extent it is
difficult to foresee (not one year—probably not one
niHi.h of such a war, but wrould have been more ex
(tensive than the whole territory that had called it forth)
but they had averted that war, l believe consistently
with tlieir true interest—consistently with perfect hon- •
or on the p*rt of the American Government, and on the
part of those who have at length closed, f tiust, every
cause of d.lf rence between the two countries. (Loud
clieera.) Sir, I may say, also, to the credit of the Gov
ernment of this country, that, so far from being influ
enced in our views in e o %rd to the termination of these
and sputes abont the Oregon by the breaking out of
war with Mexico, we distinctly intimite-J to Mr. Psk
enham, that although unexpected event* had occurred,
it did not effect, in the slightest degree, oar desire for
peace. (Cheers.)
Mr. Pakenham, knowing the spirit of hi* govern
ment, being aware of the occurrence of these hostilities,
having a discretionary power in cetuin cases, if be had
thought this offer would have been likely to prolong
negotiation or diminish the chance ol a successful is
sue, yet w isely thought the occuncn r e of Mexican hos
tilies with the L. Stales was n t one ol those cases to
which we had adverted, and therefire most wisely did
he tender this offer of peace to the United .States on his
own discretion, and the confidence of his government. .
Now let me say. and I am soie ibis Houe will take it
to the c redit of ny noble friend, that on the occurrence o
these boatihues between the United States, before we
were awa f e of the reception which this offer on our
part would meet with, the first picket that sided ten
d red to the Un-ted States the oiler of our good offices
fir the | urpise of mediating tetween them and the
Mexicao government. (Loud cheers ) bir, I do re
joice. therefore, that. liefore surrendering power at the

The Harvest in France.—A grt-ai many fields of

Pans. The crop not heavv in the ear. and the
straw i* very short, us was to be expected from the
long drought, but the quantity of grain appears to be
equal to what is railed an average crop. The late
raioa have had so henelirial an •fleet upon ihe artifi
cial grasses that they were in lull flower, and quite
ready for th* scythe, ft is very rare for the *e< oml
crop to Ik- lit for the mowing so early in June. If the
weather should be favorable, the tin and crop will be fit
to cut in August.
The Crop a and the Season. — We have l tile further
to sdJ tw the gratifying report which ap|**ared on this
subject io our last publication. Fiom all quaiter* of

and abundant. Oats. rye. and Imrley look well, and
vre equally encouraging, tbe former having nearly re
covered from the eff cts of the foie drought, by the
cop oar ram which have fallen during the last wtt-k

As we mentioned in our lat paper, there is not any

The Mtxicix War.— Now that the uiffVrcncea
arising out of the Oregon have been prilled, a colli
sion in the Gulf es Mexico or in the Pacific, between
the American and the British squadron, arising out of
this trumpery Mexican row, is dreaded. Several ves
sels have fo'sn ordered to proceed to the Gull for the
purpose, as the newspapers term it, of •• protecting
British interests;” and the squadron* of both nations,
accoidmg to the latest accounts, were at M*z itlan, in
the Pacific,
What the nature of the advices transmitted to the
commanders of these squadrons my be, Iras not, of
course, transited, but any interference in
a dispute wih which England has no concern, forms,
it is lo be hoped, no pert of then*.
Indeed, the readiness which the Government of Bir
Robert Peel evinced in tendering its service* to heal
the breach between Mexico and America, forbids such
a presumption ; but sailors are indifferent diplomatists,
*nd a •* a word and a blow” is more characteristic of
Neptune’s sons than any class of men. The appre
hension is that the peacw of the world may be com
promised in such hands. The sword of Damocles,
suspended by a hair, was not more fragile.
The contest, of which the Rio Grande has been the
scene, shows, as we before remarked, how utterly in
competent the Hispano blood is to com|>ete with the
Anglo Saxon. The weaker race i* doomed to be nl>-
sorbed in the stronger, and the wkole of the North
American contmrnt, in despite of uli obstacles, will be
peopled and ruled, at no remote day, by Anglo-Ameri
can*. Nothing can prevent such a consummation.—
The desire of the friends of peace and progression is,
that it may be done without derogating from the dig
nity of our common humanity without any violation
of the external p'incipbs of right.
The London Time* has on article on this subject,
in which the political and social inferiority ol the
Mexi-an* i* commented on. The article exhibits some
unworthy j alousy of the progress of the United
States, and Inuts that this rupture with tbe neighbor
ing Republic will probably terminate in the instal
lation ol a military dictator in the chair at Washing

A PROCLAMATION
liy the General Commanding the Army of the Uni
ted States of America to the People of Mexico :
After many yeara of patient endurance, the United
States are at length constrained to acknowledge that a
war now exists between our (iovernment and the (iov
ernmont of Mexico. For many years our ciliz-ns have
hern subjected to repeated insults and injuries, our ves
sels and cargoes have lieen seized ami confiscated, our
merrhants have hern plundered, maimed, imprisoned,
I without cause and without reparation. At length your
Government acknowledged the justice of nut claims,
and agreed hy treaty to make sarufaciion, by payment
of several millions of dollars ; but this treaty has been
violated hy your lulers, and the stipulated payments
have been withheld. Our late effort to terminate all
difficulties by peaceful negotiation, hat been rsjected
hy the Dictator Paredes, and our Minisler of Peace,
whom your rulers had agreed to receive, has been re
fused a hearing. He has been treated with indignity
and insult, and Paredes has announced that war exists
between ns. This war, tbus first proclaimed hy him,
has been acknowledged as an existing fact hy our
President and Congress, with perfect unanimity, and
will be prosecuted with vigor and energy, against your
army and rulers; but those of the Mexican people who
remain neutral will not be molested.
Your Government is in toe hands of tyrants anil u
sutpers. They have abolished your State Govern
ment*, they have overthrown your Federal Constitu
tion, they have deprived you of the right of suffrage,
destroyed the liberty of Ihe press, despoiled you of!
arms and rejuced you to a state of absolute depend
ence upon tbe puwer of a military dictatrr. Your ar.
my and rulers extort from Ihe people by grievous tax
ation, by forced loans and military seizures, the very
money which sustains the usurpers in power. Being
disarmed, you weie left defencelesa. an easy prey to
I the savage Camanchea, who not only destroy your
lives and property, hut drive into a captivity more hor
. rible than death itself your wives and children. It is 1
i your military rulers w ho have reduced you to this de- j
plorable condition. It is these tyrants, and Ibeir cor
rupt and cruel satellites, gmged with the people's treat- j
ure, hy whom you are thus oppressed and impoverish-j
ed ; some of whom have b Idlv advocated a monvirhi- j
al Government, and would place a European Prince
upon the throne of Mexico, We come to obtain in- j
di'tnmty for the past, and security for the future; we 1
come to overthrow the tyrants who have dea'roved your 1
liberties; —but we come to make no war upon the peo- j
! pit of Mexico, nor upon any form of free Government ]
thev tnav choose to select for themselves. It is our
wish to see you liberated from and. spots, to drive hack
the savage U .iriancbes, to prevent the rcnrwal of their
iisssulis. and to compel them to restore to you from
’ captivity your lost wives end children. Your religion,
! your altars and churches, the property of your church- j
c and citizens, the emblems of your fa.tli and its min
j ulers, shall l> protected, and remain inviolate. Hun
■ dreds of our army, and hundreds of thousands of our
people, are members of the Catholic Church. In eve
-1 ry State, and in nearly evory city and village of our
Union. Catholic Churches exist, and the priosts per*
■ form their holy functions in peace and secuiity, under
the sacred guarantee of our Constitution. We come
umnng the |ieoplo of Meiiro as friends and republican
I brethren, and all who receive us as sueti shall be pro-
I tecled. whilst all who are seduced into the army of
l your dictator, ahall he treated as enemies. Wo shall
; want nothing from you lint food fur our army, and for
this you shall always bs paid its rash the full value.
| It is the aetlled policy of your tyranta to deceive you
j in regard to the policy and character of our Govern
ment and people. These tyranta (ear the example of
out free institutions, and constantly endeavor to mis
represent our purpose*, and inspire you with haired
f.ir our republican brethren of the American Union.
Give ua but the opportunity to undeceive you, and
you will aoori learn that all the representations of Far
ed** were false, and were only made to induce you to
consent to the establishment ol a despotic Government.
In your struggle for liberty with the bptnish mon
archy, thousands of our countrymen risked their lives
and shed their blood in your defence. Our owa Com
modore, the gallant Porter, maintained in triumph your
’ upon the ocean, and our Government was the first
to acknowledge your independence. With pride and
pleasure we enrolled your nsme on ihe list of independ
ent republics, and aincerely desired that you might in
peace and prosperity enjoy all Ihe blessings of a free
government. Success on the part of your tyrants a
•aaiast the army of Ihe Union ra impossible, but If
they could aucceed it would only lie to enable them ta
till your towns with their aoldiera, eating out your aub
ttance, and harrassing you wiih still more Rrievoua
taxation. Already have they abolished the liberty of
Ihe pieaa, at the first step toward* that Monarchy which
ia t their real purpose to proclaim and establish.
Vtexicans, we must treat as enemies and overthrow
the tyrants, who, whilst the* have wronged and in- !
suited us, have deprived you of your liberty, but Ihe 1
Mexican |ieople who remain neutral dunug Ihe con
test shall be protected against their military de-pots,,
by the Republican Army of the Union.

T he enormous profits of the Manufacturer* are con
tinually speken of as lurniahing the chief reason for
the reduction ot the Tariff of 1812. Manufacturers,
indeed, seem to he regarded as aliens, hating no com
mon interest with Ihe rest of the people, no patriotic
concern in the welfare of Ihe country. The Govern
ment paper Insea no opportunity to speak insultingly
of them. It sneers at the symptoms of uneasiness
which ciliz -ns engaged in manufacturing enterprises
manifest at the threatened destruction of their busi
ness, and every cfTort to stay the hand ot the destroyet
is pronounced an ilfort to get up a panic. To depre-
I cate approaching ruin is, in the view of the Govern
ment puper, part ol a system of •lactic*”—a mode ot
artificial excitement.
If there is a system of tactics anywhere it is to be
: found among those who seek to gain their ends by ap-
I peals to the prejudices of classes ; who would psisuade
I the laborer that bis employer is bis foe and represent’
Ibat capital is necessaiily hostile to industry. Let it
i be noticed that the chief buiden of the outcry against
’ the protective system is founded upon this very pies;,
j and let it he further noted that while general allega- ;
lions ol monopoly arid oppression are sounded in the
I r ' °f the people no specific instances of monopoly
or oppression can he shown to make good the allega
i lions. I
| Perhaps it may he mado a matter of reproach ir we ;
. confess that Ihe State of Maryland and the city ol Bal-1
I tun ore especially are much interest, and in the success of
manufacturing industry, and painfully concerned at
the prospect of ihe danger which threatens the protect
ive system. \ct at Ihe risk of being classed among
I the panic makers we uiurt admit the fact both of the |
inteiesis involved and of the ulirm experienced. We j
are indeed the advocates of neither monopolies nor of
partial legislation, but defend and have always defend-1
ed the protective piiuciple on the national ground of
due self-dependence fur things which we have the
means of producing conveniently ourselves—a policy
aa essential to the national dignity and safety as it is
to the nationaTprosperity. Nevertheless it is no Jor
ogntion Irom one’s patriotism to lee| lor important in
terests which have grown up under a wise and foster
ing policy even although individuals may he concern
ed ill those interests. While we may regret for na
tional considerations Ibat our country should be de
pendent un Great Britain lor iron and manufactures of
non, we luav also feel regret for Ihe disaster and dis
tress to which individuals may be subject in conse
quence of the prosit alien ol ihe business of milling and
manufacturing iron.
Hut monopoly is the cry—••oppression” is the word.
These manufacturers ate making too much money ;
they must be pul down. Bqt if the factory is to fall,

was received. He still complains that Ins hand s„

-that he should travel by private eonvevance the gre.i

Nothing further was heaid from or about him until
the last of May or first of June, when John A Muir
received a letter signed •• Junius I*. Ruffins,” and dated
••Feiersburg, May 23d, (or 28. h.) 1846.” The w.iter.
slates that he is by birth a Virgiman-ffi,, , ome
ago he moved to Arkansas, and thence lo Texas, where
he now resides—that on his way to this place, he met
With F. Adolphus Muir in New O,leans— that he liadl
known him in Richmond, and afterwards in Missouri,,
that he saw (be same evening’ a gentleman wha said’
he had travelled with F. Adolphus Muir, in February
horn New York to that place,—that he spoke us going
into business in New Orleans, and seemed lo have a
plenty of monsy-lhal the next morning after this, ha
understood a hat w as picked up floating in the Mims-
Sippi river, and underneath ibe leather lining. “F Adol
phus Muir, Dinwiddle,.Vs,” was written—that he nei
ther saw er heard ol him afterwarda. He state, he
feels it his duty to write, though it was painful lo Jo
so—that upon inquiry, he had found out that he (Johu
A Muir,) was a brother of F. Adolphus Muir.
J his awkwaidly fsbiicaled account ot the cause of
Mr. Muir s absence fioni home, of course, excited the
suspicion of his friends. The blank, as it tpp ‘sr* u
the first letter, and which refeis to the paym -nl foi the
land, was in the o.iginal, filled with the name of Cap-
Lain DandncJeit E|ie*.
On enquiry, it was frond that, on the 2Jof Fehrui
ry, Mr. Muir had gone to the house of Mr. Kpea-tlnk
after he had remained there some lime, Epes remarked
to him that there was a deer iij the woods, and propos
ed ihat M. should accompany him and see him kill it,
and return with him to dinner. T. ibis M cimwnltd,
| and they together left the house on horse hack, Ep**.
’ a douhle-barreled gun and Muir entirely uuarnrrd.
I his was the last time Muir was seen in life.
‘This account was given by the amiable and most
deeply distressed wife of Epes, before she was save
| th* l her husband was suspected of the crime, She
1 lurthers tail’d, ih.vl Epes returned to his hope; alone,
and on being asked by her, why Mr. Muir had not re
deemed hi- premise to nlurn to dinner, replied, that
1 u,r found II nece.sary logo to Brunswick. The
| first letter, dated •■Telersburg, Feb. 4th i816,” hiring
slated that Lpes had paid the money due on Ihe lend.
‘E. was asked where he paid the money. He rephri
that he paid M. oil the4lh of February, at Janet’* Ha
! tel, in this town. On making inquiry at Mr, Jarreel’s
Muir’s friends ascertained that neither Mr. Janet *r
any one else had seen him therp—nor could snv r>*
j bo found in Petersburg, where Muir was well known,
[ who hai 1 -sen lum in town at Ihat lime.
A carelu! examination wav next made oflhehxnd
wnting of the three letters mentioned in the advertise
ment, and it was a-certamed that lliey were all written
by ihe same person, though an attempt hid evidently
been made to vary the hend-writing. These letters
were next compared with the haml-writing ol Epes.
and a resemblance between them delected. Suspicion
agiinst L,ie* was now strong enough to warrant M.s
blends in searching E.’s premises, and charging Inin
, witb the rmilder.
Accordingly, on Thursday of lasi week, a largep* ,f 7
went to Epes’ house. They lound him at bums, snd
told him he was suspeeled of Ihe murder. He, si
Course, asservatr and his innocence moat strongly, but on
being told he would he sued upon Ihe bond or bonds
for $3,200, wlocb be bad in Ins possession, hs rrplrel
tbit rather than have Hny trouble about It be would
pay the bonds over again. A search was then inndo
for the body, hut without success.
