One Day later from England.
The Ship Caledonia Brdndey, Capt. NICHOLSON,
has news one day later than the last received.
From England with the exception of the CONNER
cal and Shipping intelligence there is nothing inter
esiing. The snow storm had extended TO Ho
land and had done considerable damage at Amster-
dam and Harlem. A report prevailed at the former
place. that dyke in North Holland had burst; its
correctness had not been ascertaned, dared
venture across the river.
The political complexion Of the French Chamber of
Deputies has not been distinctly expressed by any
farther action on their part. The conduct of Louis
Philippe, in declining 10 interfere in the affairs of
Spain, in opposition to the opinion OF NJ. THEIRS, his
late minister seems to meet general appreciation.
The troops Of the Queen Of Spain have apparently
succeeded IN relieving Bboa and causing the Cariss
to raise the siege of that place. but this does not ap
pear a very important advantage.
The London Times of the latest date, says -
The gradual change in the public sentiment of this
country towards the United States ofNorth America,
has been one which ii is impossible for the statesman
of the present age behold without solid appreciation,
or the philosopher and phlanthropst without the most
benevolent delight.
While the growth and multiplication of ties, both
commercial and personal, between the two branches
OF the old British stock steadily, though silent
y, EDWARDS, year after year. we discover periodically
The fruits of that complex continuous, and strength
ening relation, in the reception now given every six
or eight months by Engshmen TO the cxpositions
made by the President TO Congress Of the general a
fairs Of the republic II is not TOO much TO say that
each successive address Of Gen. Jackson and his pre-
decessor to the Legislature of the United States in
teuded as these documents for the whole cvllsed
world have not merely created respectful sensation
throughout the British Islands, lviulence against the
people of the republic being confined 10 the
ry Of Mr.. Daniel o. CoaneD but have met with cor
dial and brothery hearing, and have excited sympa-
thies in the breasts Of the people of England nearly if
not completely akin TO the feelings with which CEN
sideraie and upright Americans themselves are dis
posed to view the several topics treated of by the
sage of the President where those topics embrace the
International commerce between the United States
and other independent powers.
FRANcE-The investigation relative TO Meunicr Is
proceeding with activity. 1t appears that his crime is
not isolated, and that the police have obtained clues
10 certain individuals who arc is said very seriously
compromised. 1t IL also said that there have been
found on file ofpapers relating to aprevous investl-
CATION, lists OF aiies (assoclates) al the announce
Inent of which appears the following inscription /:
jean Francois, saddler, sure man.. Finally, if
every report in circulation Is to be credited, the at
tempt Of this criminal has very extensive ramhcn
tons We trust that the result OF the investigation
will prove that all these sinister reports without
foundation. Every witness as yet examined repre-
sents Meuner a. aperson devoid Of intelligence,
The most prominent features of his character, and
that which exercises the greatest influence his
actions IA an excessive degree of self conceit which
ioined 10 a headsrong and boastful spirit, has be-
trayed him into the commission OF thousand extra
vagances.
He Is described as possessing sort Of mania for
making the most extraordinary wngcrs; and when
he had once pledged himself to any act, he never
failed 10 commit IL, however stupid II might be- He
was IN the habit laying wages for instance that he
would drink Off two bottles of brandy, of the iqueur
absnthe and that he would eat dinner prepared for
SIX persons, &c. On Christmas night two days be-
fore he committed the crime he made singular bet
namely 10 swallow the contents Of an enormous mus
tard pot Shortly after he had taken this powerful dose
he seized with lehargic symptoms, and fell into
state OF torpor which lasted nearly SO hours.
We understand, from good authority, that the assas-
sin Meuner has been confronted with his father and
mother. Athat sight he was powerfully affected and
il would appear that their presence had induced him
to make certain disclosures consequence of which,
warrants have been issued against several individuals
