LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
BY THE STEAMER ACADIA.
The English papers received by the A
cadia, does not contain so much talk of
war, as those which were received by the
Queen, but, they still appear to be dissa-
tis6ed with the Mcleod proceedings, and
make hard threats, in case he should be
executed.
We extract the following items from the
New York and Charleston papers:
1.-THE arrival OF the packet ship Eng
land, on the 10th of March, and that Of the
steam packet Columbia on the 10th, re-
vived the alarm and angry excitement oc-
&C casioned by the report Of Mr.. Pickens ear
lier in the month. The former carried
out the proceedings in Congress relative
to fortifca,ions and other preparations for
war, aud those ofthe Maine Legislature on
the subject of the boundary; among the
news by the latter was the letter Of Angus
.M'Leod, denying his brothers presence al
the affair of the Caroline, which the rabid
journals of course laid hold of as disposing
ofthe whole question, taking M'Leod away
from the tribunals, and making it impera-
tive on the Court and the Government to
order his immediate discharge. Queer
notions oc law these journalists seem to
have.
But before the Acadia left England, two
new subjects of newspaper controversy
had sprung up, and were in the full tide
of discussion; these were the action OF the
Canadian Cove rnment in relation to the
Ca,halic Seminary of st. Sulpice, aud The
division amoug the Oxford dvines respect
inc the famous "Trac,s for the Times"
which seems to threaten very serious con-
sequences, not only 10 the University but
the Anglican Church itself.
1.-The rumor current when the British
Queen left England, concerning divers
ships and squadrons being ordered to the
United States, seems all 10 have died away.
Touching the ships named as being under
orders for immediate equipment, II is now
said that their destination is China. But,
per contra, the Hampshire Telegraph has
the following:
'We have this day learned that our Go
vernment, in order to prepare for any
emergency that may spring out ofthe case
of M'Leod, (aud if the republic execute
him, we do not think that there is man
in this United Kingdom but will demand
justice,) have directed six regiments to
hold themselves in readiness TO embark for
North America-two ofwhich are the 18th
and 6lh regiments, now in Ireland. IL is
also stated in private letters from the first
circles in Paris, that Lord Granville, on
the 9th ult., officially announced TO M.
Guizot, that the English government, would
find it necessary to send ten sail Of the line
10 the same quarter. Of course feet of
steamers will form part of such an expedi-
ton.
"The boy JONES'" who had already
been twice detected prowling about the
apartments Of the Queen, in Buckingham
Palace, was third lime found there on the
10Th OF March.
The case Of MLeod.-We chronicle as
remarkable circumstance, the fact that
:; ;,Que paaer in I.on1nn has taken reasona-
bile and common sense view ofthe M'Leod
csse-rerceiving that i, has come properly
and in order before the judicial tribunals,
and must there be disposed of in the first
place while it's disposition there. one way
or the other, iulerposes no obstacle to such
final action as may be cousonant with ma
tonal Justice. national equity and national
honor. The London Spectator says:-
Every thing seems TO conspire to as-
gravate i'll feeling and to neuIralize better
dispositions. What is Lord Palmerston
doing? Rumor says that he has sent out
peremptory demands for M'Leod's dis
charge, and orders for ships of the line to
back those demands on the American coast.
To what cud has that been done? on what
ground in what fashion? Has Lord Pal
Inerston consulted the law officers of the
Crown, and made quite sure that the Uni
ted States can be called upon 10 give up
Mr.. M'Leod, before, he has made his ap-
pearance before the tribunals, on charge
which, being formally, however ground
Iessly made, must be legally disposed Of?
Has Lord Palmersron chosen the proper
time and mode Of urging the demand 10
secure success? The most reasonable de-
mand may be SO put as to make it impos
sible to accede: The country would be glad
10 know how Lord PalmerstOn had man
aged"
We give another extNact, of a different
character, but perhaps equally remarkable,
from the Dublin Pilot, understood 10 be
MIR. O'Conuel's paper:
Har-EnglDnd VS.. Ireland.
1.-THE time approaches when England
must be humiiated or Just, and Ireland
may be free. 80 England may declare
war, but who will war for England? Ire
landl What! pay taxes, and shed our
blood And for what? . a" Why should
Ireland war agains, France? There is no
1righ feeling 10 be gratifed, no Irish inter-
es, TO be promoted, by such a war. What
has Ireland done 10 France, or France to
Ireland, that We should shed each others
