It will doubtless be interesting to all the reail- tntrpuLlic to have a brief abstract of ihe negotia tions on lhe' Qre^oh Territory, to read, particu larly tra niany will lie anxious,\especially In the present view of tlFe'quesunii, to see- lhe ground taken hy OTr. Calhoun, of whom some persons have supposed that he would he more ready than a-ny one else lo divide that Territory. I hive, therefore, spent several hours in making the fol lowing abstract, and I frankly confess, that those who read it must not expect it t o do justice to Mr. Calhoun's arguments, for I never in the course of my experience found as difficult a task (in lhe line) a# abstracting after Mr. Calhoun. His words aie so lew in comparison to the ideas and argument, that it is impossible lo do him jus- lice except by giving his language in full. The abstract, however, will give a good iden of the masterly manner in which he conducted the ne gotiations, and justify Mr. Packcnliam's remark (made last Spring) that Mr. Calhoun 'was the hardest man he had ever to do with, for there was no cettinir round him at nil.'—tThe country may well he proll(l•^fiillel^^^)ln^l^lla^^^lr -e ^^lllnur^ , hut t o lhe negotiation.

A New-York cotemporary boasts of hav ing had an introduction to the heroine of the following sketch—an acquaintance of which to be proud, and a wife such as is ' a glory to her busbnnd:'— Mr. , a merchant, now residing in Philadelphia, who formerly lived in rather an extravagant style, was in, the habit*, ever)* Monday morning, of giving his wife a cer tain sum of money for table and other house hold expenses for the week; ho never men tioned his business to his wife, and she, deem ing him sufficiently capable of attending to \his own affairs, never inquired into them.— About five years after their- marriage, thro' slight mismanagement, and the rascality of his confidential clerk, Mr. suddenly broke, and his fall was mentioned sympathi- zingly on 'Change, «nd—like all such mat ters—there all sympathy ended. The mer chant Ttept the'alfair a secret, and the first in- timatian.the lady had of it, was by a para graph in the '-Ledger.' Shortly after dinner was over on the day of the discovery of the startling fact, Mrs. requested her hus band to remain in the parlor a few moments, as she had something to say to him> She then left the room, hurried up stairs, and shortly nfterword's returned witb a splerujid bound Bible in herhand^ Handing it to her husband, she said, ' Georga, the day after our marriage you gaVe me'this precious book, - *«Holreri^f^ottr^overanti^s-«^ tain to look to in the day of trouble. Its ' pages have been precious to roe; and, as your brow looks sad to-day,' I now return it to you, that you may glean from it some con solation in tho hour of gloom.' She then left the room. The merchant opened tho book carelessly, and a bank bill fell out of it. He picked it up, and glanced at its face—it was a $10 bill. He opened the book again, and another note of the same amount was before him. He opened it at the first page, and continued to find an X between every two leaves, till he arrived at the commencement of the book of. Bevclations. He was saved—could again commence business, and had a capital of $9,000 to commence with I He rang the bell—a servant appeared. - • Request your mistress to come to me im mediately,' said the merchant. The lady obeyed, entering' the room with something between a tear and a smile. • Kate! Kate! Where did -you procure all this money V ' 'Tis the weekly saving of our household expenses for the las), fivo years,' was the mo- 'dest reply. ' Every week-1 put ten out'of the twenty dollars'whjeh you gave roe into our Bible bank, that when a day of trouble came upon us, wb should have something to save us from the wolf.' • But why put it in the Bible, Kate Y ' Because it is a good bank, and one which will not suddenly break,' replied the lady. ' * You are an angel, Kate.' cried her de lighted husband, clasping her to his heart. < And so she is. Does any one doubt it ?— There are thousands'of such angels, despite the rnilings.of our miserable woman-slander ing bachelors. S'epln-n Ni'wtiin,.di) 4 00 M. C.

Next he'proceeds to setllemrnls by American citizens in 1809, 1810 and 1311—their possession [_by the. .Ornish during the war, and restoration after pence. • Next he says we have added to our claims by priority of discovery, exploration and settlement, those of France and Spain. The former by the treaty of La. the latter iiy the treaty ol Florida He says that lhe cession of La. gave UN un disputed title to the summit of the Uocky Moun tains, and possessions of Spain ll alt.o added strength lo our title to Oregon, by restoring the important link of continuity westward lo the Pa cific, which hid been surrendered by the Treaty ofl7C3. He then proceeds to make an elaborate argu ment on the title which continuity gives,—and hrings forward the contest between Great Bri tain and France, which was terminated by lhe treaty of 1763, as having arisen on lhe wide or Grpal Brituin on this very right of continuity from her colonies, now the U. S., extending west ward to the Pacific. The result of this ixuittsi he says, forecloses Great Britain—'against con testing the principle, particularly as against us? He then proceeds lo the consideration of ihe Ircaty of 1763, which fixed Iho Mis«i«sippi as the boundary between France and Great llrilain, and cayi, * it in cflecl extinguishes in favor of France whatever claims Great Britain may hare had lo llio region lying west of the Mississippi ' II could ftT ore- r J1( ' L - c \ r ' !C t tnc , r -'gh' of Simin,J]u.l it prevented (he iiiMir .iV I r, Sbt o f continuity previously claimed by Gtehl Mr. Fox, lo British] are prepared to proceed nun of it [the setilemenl of boundaries] in a per- 30 ffifrgrspirirof-fiTirurss, and tu adjust ii orr a basis- feqtiilablecompromi.se.'

On the 26th August, the second conference was held, anil a proposition made by Mr P., which was declined by Air. Calhoun.

It is therefore, not at all surprising that France should claim the country wcsl of tho Rocky Mountaini, (as may be seen from her maps,) orr lhe same principle that-Great Britain had cloimcd and dispossessed her of I lie regions west of the Alleghany ; so that the U.
