FOREIGN NEWS.


EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.-By
the packet ship England, at New York, from
Liverpool, papers of that city to the 9th Of
May, and London of the 9th, inclusive, with
Paris and Havre dates Of the 9Th, are re-
cieved. We copy the following particulars
brought by this arrival, from the New York
papers of Friday. 1t will be seen that our
affairs with France are not yet brought to
close, and Mr.. Livingston has actually left
for home.
T By accounts from Havre ofthe 5th, we learn
that Mr.. Livingston, our Minister, embarked
that day on board the Constitution, which
when the advices left, was under way for
New York.
1t appears by advices from Paris to the 5th
that the American question, which appears
to be wholly absorbed in the more lively in
tercst excited by the political trial, still re-
mains in an undetermined state; so much
doubt, however exists as to the course which
the Chamber of Peers will take in passing the
indemnity bill, that Mr.. Livingston had left
Paris accompanied by his family for home
The diplomatic relations between France and
the United States are, therefore suspended
for the present, for, although Mr.. Livingston
leaves member of the Legation at Paris,
that individual only remains to watch the
progress of the bill, and on its passage with
out the required alterations being made, he
also will Immediately quit Paris, and return
to America.
The election in England, under the new
wrts were going on. Mr.. Stuart has been c.
lected without opposition in Haddington, ma
king the twelfth member of the government
reelected since the writs were moved for in
the House of Commons. Lord John Russell
had been defeated in Devonshire by Mr.. Par
ker, and the Tories boast, that not one of
the three principal Secretaries of State, can
procure Il seat in the House Of Commons.
Lord John Russell was, however to be run in
another district, not yet determined upon.
He is threatened with powerful opposition
in either ofthe districts proposed; if for West
minister, by Sir Thomas Cochrane; and if for
Mlddescx, by Sir Robert Peel, in which case
the Right Honorable Baronet would have to
vacate his seat for Tamworth.
Lord Denham has been appointed Speaker
of the House Of Peers for the period during
which the Great Seal may remain in the
hands Of Commissioners, or until some per-
manent arrangements shall be made relative
to the office of Lord High Chancellor, by
which it will determine whether in future the
Lord Chancellor shall be considered as Speak.

LONDON, May S.-We have received by
express the whole of the Paris papers OF
Wednesday, French journals from the Prov.
inces of corresponding dates, and a letter
from our correspondent at Dayonne, Of the I'd
instant.
The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with
the proceedings in the Court of Peers, which
are still of preliminary nature.
