Advices are to September 4th. The United States ship
_Warren_, Hull, sailed on the 8th of August from Honolulu
for Mazatlan, by way of California. The _Delaware_, Carter,
which arrived at Honolulu with naval stores from Valparaiso,
September 1st, reports having seen a large vessel, probably
the United States ship _Savannah_, entering Honolulu Bay.
The _Polynesian_ contains intelligence from Oregon to August
2d.
The legislature of Oregon adjourned a few days before the 3d
of July, having passed some important laws. One of its acts
is: "Any person who shall make, sell, or give away ardent
spirits in Oregon, south of Columbia River, shall forfeit
and pay $100 for each and every such offense." The
legislature is called the "Legislative Committee," and
consists of nine persons elected by the people. The officers
of the Oregon Territory consist of three governors, called
the Executive Committee, a Supreme Judge, and a Legislative
Council. The laws are the same as those governing the
Territory of Iowa. The government is purely democratic
republican. Doctor Babcock is the supreme judge. The name of
only one of the governors, Doctor Bailey, is mentioned. On
the 1st of August a Belgian brig arrived at the Oregon city,
having on board a number of nuns and several Catholic
priests from Antwerp, sent out to Oregon by the church of
Rome.
The colony is in a most encouraging condition. The crops
were giving promise of an abundant harvest.
People were coming into the territory in large numbers, and
the country is filling up with thriving and energetic
colonists. Doctor Babcock, "the supreme judge," went to
Oregon as physician to the Methodist mission family. Doctor
Bailey was from this city, where his family now
resides.--_New York Evening Post._
