His proposal, however, is rejected, and that in language which the New York Courier & Enquirer justly stigmatises as offensive. Mr. Buchanan writes:." The President declines the offer of arbitration. Mr. Pakenharn had assumed that the title of England was valid to at least a portion of the disputed territory, whereas the President had assumed the the title of the United States to be clear and unquestionable to the whole of Oregon.

By the arrival late last evening of the steamship Galveston, Capt. Wright, from Galveston, we have received files to the 1st inst. from that city. The Galveston made the trip in 36 hours. The election for Representative, which took place on Monday last, resulted in Galveston as follows:.For Col. S. M. Williams, 449 ; Judge Pilsbury, 69; Col. Cook, 8; Gen.

As soon as he was informed of the arrival of the detachment from your army, under Capt. Hardee and Lieut. Hamilton .th^^e opposite Brazos Santiago, via Isla^^P'adra, the other by the old Matamoros road, near San Colorado.he mustered every soldier here, and crossed the Rio Grande in person, under the impression that he should meet the advance of your army. He marched as far- as the Colorado Creek, with the utmost nossible desnatr.h. nnd disrnv#»rpH that both these detachments had returned to the camp of Corpus Christi. His anger at this unexpected " no find you there" knew no bounds.as he had boasted upon his departure from Matamoros, of the laurels he and his troops would win before their return to their old quarters. His excellency was, however, compelled to put back without a single trophy to grace his unwelcome return. AIL the forces, late under the command of Gen. Arista, at Montery, and now under the orders of Gen. La Vega, about 1800 strong, have arrived at Matamoros, and it is said will march forthwith for the Salt Lakes and the Sal Colorado, to arrest the March of Gen. Taylor upon the Rio Grande. Gen. Canales, of Comargo, with his regiment, nearly 1000 strong, has received orders to form> the advance of our forces, to watch the movements of your army, and is now occupying a position in a direct line between Comargo and Corpus Christi, about 22 leagues from the former place, at the northwestern extremity of the great salt lake.
