LATER FROM ENGLAND.

Inc packet sup virginia, Sapt I1arrlS
from Liverpool, arrived at New York on
Monday evening last. She left the / lth
of Febl uary, and brings Liverpool papers
Of that date, and London Of the 10th -
Their contents are not important.
The cotton market had been very AMI
mated and large sales had been made at
an advance in prices.
The news from France is not so late
rs that already received from Have. 1t
was, however, the general belief there,
that the indemnity bill would pass the
Chambers.
The ELEcTIoNs.-Both parties in Eng
land are claiming to have obtained Il VIC
tory at the late elections, and from the
confidence with which we speak, we in
cline to the opinion that the result at least
is doubtful. We are confident that if the
present ministry attempt 10 carry on the
government upon avowed principles, they
at once will be left in small minority,
and their only hope Of retaining power
must be in meeting in some degree the
liberal views that are abroad in that coun-
try. 1t is evident that many Of the
staunchest and NEST honest Wings ave
fearful Of the power which the radicals
are obtaining in the councils Of the na-
tion, and ministers may obtain the sup
port of all such, if the latter accord it
without violation Of their principles and
pledges. The policy of the administra-
ton we think will be conservative. They
will not attempt to undo what has been
done, neither will they carry out the pol
icy of the former ministry and in this
way they may keep their stations.
The following article is from the cor
resPondnce of the Morning Chronicle -
There cannot be the least doubt now
that the American indemnity will be voted
by the Chamber, since the members Of
the Commission elected on Thursday to
report on the question, are unanimous in
its favor. The vote Of the United States
Senate, which subsequently arrived, must
remove most Of the objections raised by
the hurt pride of the French, against the
payment Of the claims. Hence, it is
probable that the treaty will pass without
any pan agraph throwing blame on the
Ministry, such as M. Passy proposed, +,
and for which proposal Nj. Passy was not
chosen on the Commission. Ii should,
however, be remarked, that many men,
bers of opposition supported Ministers,
or at least insisted on the necessity of full
y satisfying the United States. Among
these we're not only George Lafayette,
but DR. Sale, member of the Tiers Parii,
and M. Delessret, who in 1891, had de-
cided that only thirteen millions we re due
instead Of twenty live, were found on the
present occasion supporting the ministe-
rial view Of the question. With these,
moreover, were all the deputies Of the
great ports, Bordeaux, Nantes, Havi 9,
who, though Anti-Ministerial, were new
ertheless obliged from position to avoid
all possibility Of a war with America -
Two members from tho Gironde, Ducos
and Dulauve, are of the Commission.
And yet, notwithst anding all this, Of the
4Oi votes given in the bureaus for choice
Of the Commission, there were l6l given
TO men hostile to it, $40 to men favorable
TO it. In some bureaus the struggle was
close. In the first bureau, nj. Cameron
had but one vote over Nj. Salverte and
in the ninth, nj. Remusnt threw out nj
Bcrrycr by only two votes.
The strongest argument, that which
weighed most against the American Trea-
ty, was the fact that the majority Of the
Commission Of 1891, consisted Of M. De-
lessert and such men, were for giving on
y thirteen millions to the Americans
whilst the minority Of the said Commis.
sion, which proposed thirty, consisted
merely of George Lafay cite, who was
lprejudced in favor Of America, and o
M. Pichon, whose opinion, for divers
reasons, does not carry much w";ght.-
But in the settlement Of the question, thu
