Some supposed that the message of the Presi

sition from him to the - government - of Great
Brinrin. or to him from that, government on
ilie-4td»ject of the Oregon' question. There
4* no doubt time Hie citvWiH be rife with ru-

This day also, there has been a v< te in tho
Senate which has attracted much attention and
remark. Mr. Allen asked leave to introduce
a joint resolution rel itive to the interference of
Foreign Powers with the Independent nation*
of Americt and declaring 'that the U. S. would
not perm t such interference. Mr. Calhoun
called attention t » the fact that the p>nioncf
the Presidents message re.lating. to this subject
had been referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, of which M' - . Allen is chairman, anl
vet he had taken the unprecedente 1 and un
parliamentary coarse of I.-'.troJucing thus; res-
o I alio hi'mi this subject without ever co’isttliing
