Whether the battle of Leipzig be considered by the number of the combatants, certainly not le.SJL Trnhahlvmnrft than dOnonn men or by the duration of the contest, or by the numbers of the, killed and wounded, or by the monarch in the field, or by its results, this signal vietory stands unrivalled in the annals of wari Europe sauf herself free fromthe shame ful and gallingyokeof France, and France, drivfin withirii hpr nwn frrntipe ma -IVr ced to contend for her own existence. 1 bus much belongs to history.

JC SALISBURY, N: iC., J '-; OREGON 'Bnll-lXJ v; The bill authorizing the occupation Lof he Oregon Territory passed the House of Representatives of the United States on he' 3d i nst,- by a vote of 1 40 yf as to 50 nays. we are indebted to the 15altimorc American for the following condensed pro visions of the bill, arid the remarks which follow : - ;' "'"t " " In the first place, then, the whole coun try of the Oregon lying between; the forty second and fifty-fourth degrees, North lat itude, including the entire space now sub ject by treaty with England to the joint occupation of both countries is to be em- u I ' .1 i 'A uruceu in ine iprnionai organization pro- posea ny me dhi. a governor is to oe ap pointed for five years, and a Secretary for the same period ; also a Judge of the Courts ; and a record of the proceedings of these functionaries is to be transmitted to Washington every six months. "f It is further provided that a'Governor may mark off the territory into districts and enforce all necessary regulations to render the militia of the territory efficient. , When. there are five thousand inhabi tants over twenty-one years oft age they shall have power to form a Territorial Le gislature, j "The President is required b V theLbill to erect stockade forts in the territory to the number of five from some point on the Missouri river, and on the most practica ble route to the south pass in the Rocky Mountains. He is also required to erect fortifications at or near the mouth of the Columbia river. - J ".Every settler in the colonv of eighteen years of age and upwards is toj have 640 acres of land, if he will cultivate the same for five consecutive years. If !a married man, his wife shall have 160 acres rland the father shall have the same for each of his children under eighteen years of age. "In the House of Representatives on Saturday, some amendments Were made in the bill, the most important! of which was one requiring the President of the U- nuea oiaies io give nonce io ijrreai;Unr ain of the termination of the existing trea ty, and providing that the enactments of the bill shall not apply to British subjects for the period of twelve months after such notice shall have been given.; Another amendment allows to the subjects of Great Britain free egress and ingress to and from all, bays, harbors,, creeks and tributaries, between the 42ci and 51 deg. 40 min's. of latitude. " Such are the main features of the Or egon bill. It proposes a very summary mode of deciding the question of disputed possession; it assumes that the whole re gion in controversy is ours, arid that no other has any ground of claim to any por tion of it. The advocates of the bill in the House of Representati ves have, for the most part, adopted a style of debate quite j in accord ance with the nature and tendencies of the measure itself. Mr. Belser, of Alaba ma, believed that Our right to the Oregon was indisputable, and though this question was likely to involve usin a war, he was ready to take ground in favor of it. He had been watching the progress of Great Britain on this subject, and was anxious to check her colossal strides upon the na tions of the earth. He was against nego tiation ; for whenever we negotiatedwelost ground J : " An honorable gentleman from Mis souri spoke in the same strain.! The Ore gon was in the possession of a foreign pow er, and it was time for freemen to dispos sess her. We could not, without disgrac ing ourselves in the. eyes of foreign na tions, consent to any negotiation upon this subject. We had nothing tofear contin ued this warlike gentleman, from a con flict with Great Britain. We hadmeasur- ed swords wiui mat Government ana naa been successful. j, "These are brave words enough; and if it comes to that, we have orators who can out-rant the whole British Parliament. But the question is not to be settled in this way. " '. ' .. I .. 44 There is one thing in which these ar dent advocates of the Oregon bill are en tirely correct; we mean their anticipa tions of a war with Uineland as a conse- auence of the passage of the fbill. It is scarcely more certain, if there may be de grees of certainty, that the sun! is present in the heavens, than that warjwHl follow the-enforcemerit of this'coriteriiplated act. 44 Here then is the matter to be regard ed. If it is determined that the bill shall pass, in the terms proposed, arid with the inevitable alternative 4Jnr view,! let n the country know, it. ., Why are not some .ad? equate measures of preparation on foot What absurdity is this that men in pow er should talk . big, arid utter threats, arid urge precipitate measures to bring on hos tilities without stirring Oah'aj to provide lor the war which they are sobold in pro voking l' G These heroes of verbiage, do ttiesupp fice to beat, baclnlihvadingicet, O are they the BoBApu who arettf stand us instead of armies and armaments T ; 4 !

'- 1st. IThe Correspondence of the Execu tive Department, from the adoption of the Constitution in 1776, till the latter part of the year 1784 ; when it was first made the duty of the Governor, by Act of the Gen eral Assembly, to keep a Letter Book, tor the purpose ot recording all important let ters. This period embrace the entire Ad ministrations of the three first Governors, viz : Caswell, Nash and Burke. The Cor respondence of Governor Burke exists, as 1 am informed, in a good state of preserva tion, and can be readily obtained. A part of thatrofGovcrnor CAswELL,hasbeen found in the Department of State, since the ad journment of the Legislature, correspond ing in the Nos. of the Packages, and in other particulars,,' with a memorandum left by him of his public papers, stated to have been deposited in that Office ; and the residue, it is believed, are also there. Of the papers of Governor Nash, none have been as yet discovered, except Letters written to him by the Board of War of the State, which held its session first at Hills boro and subsequently at Halifax, from the 14th of September,! 780, until the 30th oif January, 1781, copies of which are recorded on the Journal ofsthe Board, pre served in the Department of State. Frc quent entries also appear on that Journal, of letters said to have been -received from him, and "numbered and filed," but not copied. As his death occurred but a few years after his Administration, and during the early childhood of his only surviving son, this gentleman, in reply, to inquiri from me, is unable togive any information respecting tkorru tf yet in existence, and not among' the masses of old Documents in the Capitol, they may, most probably, be found in the Town of New Bern, the residence of their Author during the time A ; he held the Office ofGovernorr 2d. The second class of Documents, re lates to the period which preceded thexir ganization of the State Government under the Constitution, frpm 1774 to December, 1770. A large Manuscript bound Volume, in the Office of the Secretary of State, con tains the Journals of ' 1.
