THE UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN.

We earnestly congratulate our readers on the information, concerning the relations between the United States and Great Britain, which they will find exactly stated in the report of yesterday's Senate Proceedings. Considering the rumors that have been in circulation, nothing could be more interesting to the whole country at the present moment than these disclosures in the Senate, unless perhaps it be the chart of the principles of the new Administration which may be expected in the Inaugural Address of the President Elect.

We learn from the statement of Mr. Buchanan that, in regard to the Boundary Question, the Governments of Great Britain and the United States have agreed upon the main points of a Convention for the final adjustment of that question; and that, in the opinion of the Executive, there is every reason to look with entire confidence to a prompt and satisfactory termination of the long negotiation upon this question.

We learn, further, with great pleasure, that there is no foundation for the rumor that an angry correspondence has recently taken place between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth, or any correspondence, the character of which would justify a call for its publicity.

The remarks of Mr. Clay, whose wisdom and experience in our Foreign Relations stamp every thing he says on that subject with more than common impress, are no less important than acceptable,-- Happy must it be accounted that upon this very interesting and important matter the leaders of the party coming into power and of that which is about retiring enter- tain opinions upon it between which there is hardly a discernible shade of difference.

The statement of the Chairman of the Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations, the reader cannot fail to perceive, has all the effect of a counterblast to the martial appeal made the other day by the distinguished Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations in the other House.-- The effect, mark! We do not say the intention, as we are not in the counsels of the honorable Senator from Pennsylvania or of the Administration whose confidence he enjoys.-Nat. Intel.
