LATER & IMPORTANT FROM

New York, Feb. 2t.

The town was thrown into commotlon
last evening BY the arrival from Brest OF
a French Brig of war in short passage.
She brings dispatches for VI. SERRUR1ER,

mericans generally in Paris. There is
no ground for the surmise Of the Tribune
that NJ. Serrurer is recalled from dis
satisfaction with his conduct--that recall
was put, as we are informed, expressly
upon the ground that "the King could no
longer suffer his Minister in the United
States to remain exposed to hear such
language as that contained in the message
of the President of the United States.

The Message Of the President ofthe U.
