The ship HELEN. arrived yesterday, hav-
ing sailed on the 9Th Dec. from Liverpool, TO
which dates she brings papers. 80
In England all was perfectly tranquil, so
much SO that it is difficult to find paragraph
worth extracting.

departure Of Mr.. Barton Of much more ina-
pOrtance than we do this side Of the w asrr.-
There is, however, no expression by the Gov.
ernment, or any new step taken. ....
In Spain there has beeo nO change. The
political state Of affairs was much the same.
The Quren's Speech was deemed fayorabls
to the Republican cause. ..
