In:a desppck from Mr. Buchanan to* Mr. Marcy, Nov. 28, a conversation similar to the above is reported. Mr. Buchanan says " Having urged upon Lord Clarendon as strongly as I could reasons which I thought ought to induce the British Government to relinquish , the Bay Islands to Honduras, Lord Clarendon replied that these islands are not of the least value to Great Britain, and that the only question with the Government was, whether the national honour did not forbid this course." In an interview between Mr. Buchanan and Lord Cla rendon, by appointment, on the Bth of November, the latter sail the best method to settle the ques tion was by . arbitration. Mr. Buchanan replied that there was nothing to arbitrate. Lord Claren don said the true, construction of the treaty was :a proper subject for arbitration. Mr. Buchanan re plied that he did not consider there could be any question as to the construction at all. The language was plain and explicit, and he thought this•wontd be the unanimous opinion of the American people ; 'but that in writing to Mr. March he should men tion what had been said. On the sth of Pebruary, 1856, Mr. Buchanan wrote to Mr. Marcy . "Before this can reach Washington you will have read the speeches of Lords Derby and Clarendon iuthe Ronne of Lords on Thursday, which will speak for themselves. In relation to the Central American question Lord Cla rendon said—' I lostno time in offering to refer the whole question to the arbitration of any third power. both sides agreeing to be bound by the docisiOn. That offer has not been accepted, but I hope upon further consideration the Government of the United States will agree to it.'" Mr. Buchanan resumes : . EVENING' L 856.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(°i'bh Evening.) The LORD CRANCELLOR took his seat ou the woolsack at five o'clock. Ou the 27th of February Mr. Crampton writes to Mr. Marcy : "Observing that some misapprehension seems to exist as to the offer made by Lord Carrendon to Mr. Buchanan, to submit the points regarding the interpretation : of the Clay ton-Bulwer treaty upon which the two governments disagreed to arbitration, I think it well to send you the enclosed despatch, which I received from Lord •Clare'n don on the subject in Decreuber lait. I regret not having made you this communication before, but the truth is the last paragraph of the despatch escaped my attention until I referred to it lately, and as I was aware that the negotiation of the question regarding Central America was in Mr. Buchanan's and Lord eisrendon's hands, I considered the despatch as merely meant fcr a copy of information as to what was going forward upon a subject in regard to which I inferred you were already informed."

The Earl of MALMESBURY asked the Under Secre tary of State for Foreign AffArs whether he had any objection to lay on the table of the house an exact fac simile of the letter of Omer Paella to Genera Williams, together a , " exact translation of that letter. Lord WODEHOUSE sail he had no objection to the production of such documents. Earl GREY thought it should be accompanied by the report of soree Oriental scholars. Lord WODEHOUSE said that the transactions re ferred to had been translated by an eminent oriental scholar. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition signed by 2,000 women of various classes, complaining of the state of the r).% - v as it affected the earnings and property of married women, and praying the limise to apply a re• medy for the evil. The noble and learned lord expressed a hope that his noble and learned friend (Lord Lynd hurst) would soon after Easter be ab!e to redeem the half promise he bad given to introduce a measure on the subject. - The LORD CHANCELLOR raid that he had a bill on the solject ire rreparation. Lord LYNDHURST was understood to say that he was happy to hear that him noble and learned friend on ties woolsack was about to introduce a bill on the sub ject. ETSPECTION OF PRISONS. The Earl of SIIA.FTESBURY rose to bring under their lordshipA' colmidera,tiou the 20th report of the in spectors of prisons. The noble lord then proceeded to comment at some length upon the reports of the state of the prisons that had been made from Wales and other places, and concluded by moving for the copy of any communications that had been made by the inspec tors of prisons to the Secretary of Stow for the Home Department. Earl GRANVILLE said the power of the Secretary of Slate was extremely limited on this subject. He was afraid the answer to the returns moved for by the noble lord would be nil. After a fdw words from Lord PA_NMURE the sub ject then dropp.•d. THE LATE LORD TRURO'S LIBRARY. The Marquis of L ANSDOW.NE rose to call the at 'tention of their lordships to a communication he had re ceived from Lady Truro. He (the Marquis of Lans downe) had received a"letter from, the widow of that nobleman, in which she stated that Lord Truro, having collected au extensive library of law kooks, and in order that that library might be preserved, and rendered of service, Lady Truro offered the whole collection to their lordships as an addition to the library of their lordships. (Rear.) Mr. DISRAELI repeated his question - of yesterday relative to the rumours that Prussia had been invited to assist at the Ceofereuces at Paris, and that she bad 'rimed . the plenipotentiaries to represent her there. He complained of the answer given to his ques tion of yesterday by the First LOrd of the Treasury, and contended that, on a question of such 'stet interest, he was ju•tified in asking for an explanatien without first giving notice. The house and the c,untry bad a right to know from the noble lore (Lord Pahnereton) the truth or falsehood of such a rumeurs It might be expedient and necessary that ttegetiations should be secret as the noble lord stated last night, and if so that was a reason they should know who were tae negotiators, if they were persons in whom eonfii:ence could be placed. The circumstances to which .he referred could not be kept a secret. The presence of the plenipotentiaries a% Paris must b 6 note; rioue. Frarce had made an official notifieetianof the fact, and he was at a loss to conceive why the English Government 'considered it necessary to withhold the information he hal asked for. He hoped that the noble lord would, on reflection, • consider that it v - ae his duly to communicate it to the house, He (Mr. Disraeli) - could not consider that it was, withheld from a feeling of weakness on the part of this coun try at the conferences. The participation of all the great Powers in Fetrope at these conferences he looked upon as essential to the final settlement of the'qeestion at issue, and it was only by the admission of ?wls, as well as Austria at these cgriferenes*that.srAt e rttlde be fully represented. Lcrd PALMERSTON said that he did not complain of any want of coat tesy .on the part of the right hon. gentleman in putting the question to him yesterday without notice. No notice was required, and he trusted the right honourable gentleman would not consider it any want of courtesy on his part in not answering the question. It was decided that the proceedings of the Conferences should be secret but not mysterious, and it was necessary it should be if Icr no other reason than to prevent the many questions that would otherwise have been put to Miniete.rs by members of that house, which might lave the eftct of retarding the final and ami cable settlement of the question. (Blear,, hear.) The right hoe. gentleman had put the question that day to him in a manner that ha was bound to answer. The noble lord explained that Prussia stood in a position with reference to the war that made her no party to the negotiations for peace, having abstained from taking any part in the ewe (Hear, hear.) Therefore it was Prusfia was not invited at first to join the Con ferences ; but ae the treaties of 1840 and 1841 were to . be reeked, and in which Prussia hal an interest, it was considered necessary she should be invited to attend the negotiations with reference to that part of the ques tion. He' was aware that Peui.sia had been invited to attend, but he believed Baron Manteuffel Lad not yet arrived at Paris. He defended the discreet course adopted by the Government in keeping silent on questions affecting the proceedings of the ConfereJce.' [LEFT SPEAKING.I • HOUSE OF COMMONS—CIing Evening.) The S . PLUM took the chair at the usual hoar. Sir J. FAKINGTON• presented a petition from the Australian Association, praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to order that proper steps be im mediately taken for the establishirent of a regular monthly postal onninunication with Australia. Sir E. PERRY presented a petition signed by 3,000 ladies complaining of the state of the law as it affected the earnings and property of married women, and pray ing the hove to apply a remedy. The hon. member gave notice that after Easter he shotild call the attention of the house to tho Sohj,.ict. THE CLOCK TOWER. Mr. T. lIANKEI asked the President of the Board of Works whether it was intended to have a dial•plate in the Clock Tower of a description that would enable the public to ascertain at all times the hour of the day l (Hear.) The dial-plate at present in the Tower, he thought, was not calculated to effeot that olject. Sir B. ['ALL said it was intended to have a dial-plate that would be legible. It was true the present one was not so, as it was mer2'y the frame Work erected for the purpose of trying xn experiment. PAINTING BY PAOLO VERONESE. Mr. °TWAY asked the Secretary of the Treasury if it was true that 1,9771. was paid fir the picture of "':he Adoration of the Magi," recently placed in the National Gallery, and whether that sum included all the expenses occasioned to the country by the acquisi tion . of that picture ; by whose recommendation the picture was purchased, and on what authority it was stated to be'painted by Paolo Veronese ? Mr. WILSON said the sum of 1,9771. included the whole cost, with the exception at 121. carriage from Paris. The picture was purchased at the recominenda • tion of a director of the ii - ational Gallery, and there could be r.o doubt as to its authenticity. WORKS OF ART IN TUE NATIONAL GALLERY. , Mr. EWART inquired of the First Lord of the Trea sury whether any progress had been made in carrying into effect the suggestion made during the last session of Parliament, that there should be affixed or appended to the paintings, statues, and other works of art, to spe cimens or illustrations of science, an tiquities, public monuments, and historical memorials in our public in stitutions, explanatory inscriptions, giving a brief ac count of the subject, date, history, and author of the work, so as to afford some general instruction to the public, and spare them the expense of purchasing a catalogue ? Lord PALMERSTON—The suggestion was a very excellent one, and had been almost entirely csrried ont at the National Gallery, and the British Museum. lie was not sure whether it had been carried out at Hampton Court, but he would make inquiry. SEATS IN KENSINGTON GARDENS. Mr. EWART inquired of the President of the Board of Works whether means would be adopted for giving the public the accommodation of a greater number of seats round the trees in different parts of Kensington garden% as well as in the Park. Sir B. HALL said if Parliament would vote the money more seats would immediately be erected. , LOCAL CHARGES ON SHIPPING. Mr: BRA.M.LEY-MOORE asked the Secretary of the Treasury what had been the total expense incurred under the Royal Commission, dated the 19th day of March, 1853, to icquire into the local charges upon shipping, from the date of the commission to the pre sent time ? Mr. WILSON said the - commission extended over two years, and the whole cost 7,0931. INDIAN SALT DUTY. Sir .J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Board of Control, whether ho bad yet received, the re port of the Commission appointed by the Governor- General to isquire into the mode of collecting the duties on salt in India. Mr. V. SMITH sail the whole of the correspond ence had now been received. It was in the press, and would be presented as speedily as possible. It was very voluminous, and would be some time before it was ready. CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS. In answer to a tiuestion from Mr. H. BAILLIIC and al-;o from Vr..POEBIJCIC, Lord P:ILMERSUON said that he hoped to lay the papers relative to the Central American question on the table of the - house shortly after the Easter recess. [the Usher of the Black Rod appeared at the table o' the House, and summoned the Speaker and member to attend the House of Lords, to hear the Royal asses given by commission to several bills that had pail(' PE nsIA. Mr. LAYARD called attention to the differences be tween Mr. Murray and the Si:ah of Persia relative to Mirza 'fashion, and adverted to the treaty relative to the app , intment of consular a2-ents at Tabreez, Buchere, and Sairaz, and sending armed vessels to Buchere, and asked for an explanation of the real state of affairs with ie,pect to Persia. Before sitting down he referred to Vie ofli , ers engaged in the attack of the Itedan, and hoped the Horse Guards would revise the order they had issued respecting them, and give them Eome reward. Mr. V. SMITH said the two vesels sent to the Gulf of Buchere were for the protection of the British residents there, and wero cf 500 and 250 horse power respec tively. Another vessel had been sent them, but to relieve one of the two which was to return home with the late Governor General of India. He declined to give any answer whether the Government intended to send out an expedition against Persia. The right hon. gentleman also referred to other points connected with the state of Central Asia, but was unable to state any thing definite. ATTACK ON TIDE ItEDAN. Colonel FUENCH asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether any inquiry had taken place, or was to take place, as to the causes which led to the failure of the attack on the Grand Redan, at Seoast ,pol, by her Mjesty7s troop, on the Sth of Septenit3r last?

LIVERPOOL, THURSDkY EVENING. The steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, arrived at this port at half-past four this afternoon. She brings advices from New York to March 1, 45 pas sengers, but no specie. The Atlantic passed the Baltic off Sandy Hook, March 1. Nothing is as yet known of the Pacific. The great feature in the advices now to hand is the publication of the correspondence between the United States and English Governments on the enlistment difficulty, and the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the papers having been presented to the Senate by the President, on the 28th ult. The correspondence upon the enlistment question consists of 32 letters and documents, and fills 13 columns of small type in the New York journals. The despatch from Mr. Marcy to Mr. Bubhanan, dated Dec. 28, is the most important, being a de liberate and detailed review of the entire subject in dispute, and occupying of itself upwards of six columns. The following are the concluding pas sages " Though the last instructions are a restriction upon the interpretation which Lord Clarendon has given to the law and rights of the United States, they would, even if literally observed; infringe both. This Govern ment maintains that in every instance where a person, whether a citizen( or a foreigner, has been brought to the determination to leave this country for the purpose of entering into a foreign service as a soldier or sailor, by any inducements offered by recruiting agents here, the law of the United States has been violated. There cer tainly can be ne doubt of the violation of the law of the United States in every case where one party, the re cruit, has been induced by the terms offered to him ac tually to leave the United States for the purpose of en tering into foreign military service, and the other party has furnished the means and borne the expense of taking him to a foreign depot in order to ermsurnuaate the act by enlistment. It will not purposely be denied that several hundred cases of this kind actually occurred in carrying out the scheme of British recruitment. The very design.of our employing agents for such a purpose to act within the limits of the United States involved in its consequences an infringement of that law. It is the solemn duty of the Government of the United States to maintain this construction of their neutrality law, and the attempt to set up and sustain a different one has created much surprise ; and that it has been done by a friendly GoVernment with which the United States are most anxious to maintain and strengthen the rela tions of amity, is the cause of deep regret. When the President presented the case to the con eideration of her Majesty's Government, with the as surance that he bad such information on the subject as cim.pelled him to believe that British officers in eminent stations were implicated in a scheme which had resulted in as infringement of the rights of the United States, and a violation of their law, and asked for some satis faction for the wrong, lie certainly did not expect that the conduct of these officers would be justified on prin ciples which impair the sovereignty of the United States as an independent nation, and by an interpretation of the law which makes it entirely ineffective for the pur poses for which it was intended. Some setisfaction fur the injury was confidently expected ; but nothing that can be regarded in that light has been offered, and this Government is compelled, in vindication of its rights, and laws to take a course which it sincerely hoped her Majesty's Government would have rendered unnecessary. [lee Majesty's Minister to this Government, Mr. Crampton, has taken a conspicueus part le organising and executing the scheme of constructing the British army within the United Statse. Were it possible, with due regard to the evidence and disclosures in the case, to assign him a subordinate part in that scheme, even that would not allow the President to change the course which he is obliged, under the circumstances, to pursue towards him. Any participation in the project, as it has been disclosed, in raising recruits in this country br the British service, was incompatible with his official relations to this Government. His connection with that affair has rendered hint an unacceptable re presentative of her Majesty near this Government, and you are directed by the President to ask her Majesty's Government to recall him. Mr. Roweroft, the British consul at Cinciunati, Mr. Mathew, British consul at Philadelphia, are implicated in the recruiting project, and you are further directed by the President to ask for their removal for that cause. The persons connected with the British consulate at New York have been ac tively engaged in furthering the recruiting scheme. Mr. Stanley, the assistant clerk of the consul, has taken a more open and effective part than the consul himself, and is now under an indictment for violating the law a;aiust fez eien recruiting. The consul, Mr. Barclay, could not but know of Mr. Stanley's conduct in that mat ter, but he still retains him in the consulate. Besides the responsibility that rightfully attaches to Mr. Barclay for the improper conduct of an ernpley6 in his office and under his immediate and daily observation, this Govern ment is satisfied that he has aot himself not only favoured the recruiting for the British army, but has participated in it. Moreover, the improper conduct of Mr. Barclay in the case of the barque Maury has justly given offence to the commercial community in which he resides, and with which he has official connection. For these reasons this Government deems it proper to instruct you to ask the Government of Great Britain to withdraw Mr. Bar clay from the post of British consul at New York. You are directed by the President to read thin despatch to the Earl of Clarendon, and, should he desire it, to hand him a copy." The correspondence closes with a letter from Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Marcy, dated let February, in which he details that he had an interview with Lord Clarendon, on the 29th January, when he read over to him Mr. Marcy's despatch of the 28th Dec., previous to which he fully explained to him that when he communicated to him on the 16th July his confidence that the explanation offered. by Lord Clarendon would be satisfactory to his Government, he had no idea of the complicity of Mr. Cramptorrin the affair, which had, therefore, in consequence, assumed a much more serious aspect. It will be seen that Mr. Buchanan withheld the delivery of the despatch of the 28th Dec. a fortnight, so that Lord Clarendon had not sufficient time to reply by the Atlantic or the Asia. The correspondence on the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty does not reach so great' a length. first letter is from Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Marcy, hearing date Nov. 25, in which Mr.-Buchanan says, that in the course of a conversation which he bad with Lord Clarendon, he stated to him - that the most serious difficulties between the two Govern ments might arise out of the Central American qulstiop. Lord Clarendon replied, that when two Governments disagreed about the construction of a treaty, the best and most natural mode was to In the despatch referred to Lord Clarendon writes to Mr. Crampton tinder date Nov. 10 : "Mr. Buchanan having, in the course of conversation a few days ago, adverted to the impression that would he created in the United 'States by the non-settlement of the Central American question, I again assured him that England had no wish to extend tar influence, or to ob tain any territory in that part of the world, std reminded him that., as the difference between their country and the United States turned solely upon the interpretation of the treaty of 1850, I had offered, on the part of her Ma jesty's Government, to submit-the case to the arbitration of a third power, but that he had declined the offer Her Majesty's Government, I said, would still abide by that offer, and I thought that would be the fairest and most amicable manner of arriving at a settlement of the ques tion. Mr. Buchanan said he would make it known to his Government, and give .instructions to communicate this despatch to Mr. Marcy." In the debate which ensued upon-the presentation of these papers to the Senate— • "The Hon. Mr. Seward said that this correspondence placed the subject of Central American affairs in a light somewhat different from that in which it presented itself when first brought before the house. As the case stood when originally submitted by the President, the sommunications between the two governments consisted of arguments on both sides, each government rigidly maintaining its position regarding the constitution of the treaty ; the United States demanding its fulfilment, and Great Britain Equity as positively, he might say somewhat offensively, refusing compliance. Under these circumstances he had. thought it his duty to declare his opinion, and express' decided oancurrence in the position this Government had assumed. It now ap peared that Great Britain was willing to arbitrate. lie congratu;ated the Senate on that tact, as opening a more pacific and ,pleasing prospect concerning this changing but still most important question. -'As to the enlistment case, the correspondence showed that. the , British Government might with plausibility, and per haps conseientiously; say they had tendered what was regarded by them in the nature of an apology, which they might have considered to be as broad and as full as was consistent with the honour of that Government to make. The President and Secretary of State might have thought the !acknowledgment not sufficiently ex plicit, but Lord Clarendon thought he had probably male all the apology which could be made by a power jealous of her dignity and honour. The point of differ ence was the effect of the language used. Thera was room for differences of opinion on the subject between the parties ; but the assumption would be a violent cue that Great Britain had made an explanation which ought not to be satisfactory. "Mr. Pearce did not concur with the senator, and was not willing that Mr. Seward's opinion should go to the country as the deliberate view of the Senate. Such an apology as they should claim from Great Britain had not been made. The disclosures in the correspon dence exhibited on the part of America a manliness, spirit, and frankness, of which all should be proud. He was sorry no Fuck spirit characterised Great Britain. Not only had no , satisfactory apology been made, but the language used by the British Secretary anionnted to taunts, and was therefore offensive. Lord Claretidea had said that the United States Government had bought to obtain evidence against her Majesty's, servants or their agents by practices sometimes resorted to under despotic institutions, but which were disliked by ail free and enlightened Governments. Mr. Pearee said he was not au advocate for war, and hoped they should main tain peace ; but he should never acknowledge that the correspondence furnished any satisfactory apology for what was done by Great Britain. The power which had invoked their neutrality was the first to violate it. "Mr. Stuart remarked that,notwithstanding the speech of Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords, it was shown by the correspondence submitted that the proposition to arbitrate was not submitted to Mr. Buchanan; nor did anything in the despatch from Clarendon to Mr. Crampton come up to that point. It seemed that Lord Clarendon had given the British people to understand that - the Government had assumed a generous position by offering arbitration, which America had declined, and which would be renewed. Inasmuch as Great Bri tain did not intend to acknowledge the obligations of that treaty, he confessed a strong inclination in his mind to abrogate it altogether. " Mr. Seward said he bad expressed no opinion that the British explanations ought to be considered satisfac tory. Ho intended to show that Lord Clarendon bad disavowed intentional affront, and that it should not be a foregone conclusion that nothing in the nature of an apology had been made. "Mr. Masan said a grave offence had been committed against that Government by Great Britain. It would he found in some manner and to some extent that Great Britain had lent herself to a violation of her obligations to that country under international relations, and had bro. ken their domestic laws. He understood Mr. Seward to say that some apology had been made by Great Britain fur her offence. He (Mr. Mason) conceived an apology to be due between nations as between gentlemen. When a gentleman slid wrong, and desired to makereparation, he apologised, admitting the wrong frankly and ingenue ously without reservation, and in that way evinced an honourable purpose. He submitted to the hon. senator (Seward) whether sucli an apology had been made ? On the contrary, such explanations as bad been offered added insult to the general injury. If ever a question had occurred in their international relations demanding indemnity for the past and security for the future, it was here presented. Where there was really no cause fur war between honourable men,- none would arise ; and to this, he took for granted, the people on both sides the Atlantic had made up their minds. Mr. Mason then moved that the number of copies of the British enlist ment documents formerly ordered to be printed be in creased to 10,000, and that of those received that day the same number be printed, both to form one voanne. "The resolution having been agreed to, the Senate adjourned." The steam-ship Illinois arrived at New York on the 26th ult. from California with $1,140,208 in. specie.. The fall of rain had proved beneficial to the mines and farmers, who had taken advantage of it to commence to put out their winter crops. The money market at New York continues easy, but prices firm. State loans are a shade lower. Stocks unfavourably affected by English news. The demand for foreign exchange was moderate—Lon don quoted 1081 to 1091 ; Paris, 5.20 to 5.171. The cotton market was strengthened by the foreigu news, and closed at an advance of Is. Bd. per cwt. Flour 11c. to 12ic. per barrel lower. Wheat quiet; prices nominal. Provisions active. Freights unchanged ; engagements light. Amongst the passengers by the Atlantic are his Excellency G. A. Dallas, Minister to the- Court of St. James's, and family.
