from Liverpool, fom whence he papers receiy-
we'd by hen were carried by express 10 Baltimore
on the mofhing Of the 20lh. The dates. are 10
the 4Ih Of March, aud the news important.
The new ceuIpercial project Of the British
Ainistry, has been received with favor By The
House of Commons, the nitiatory slep having
bsen decided IN its favor BY majority of 81.
SirRobert Peel, however, was indebted for this
majority TO the votes of his regular political oppo-
nents, and not 10 those of the party TO whose sue
cess he owes his elevation to office. Less than
one-ihird of the conservative ,or tory members
gave him their support. The vote stood-forI
the proposition, 339; against il, 342. Of the
voies in the affirmative, 227 were cast by the
lillerai members, either wings or radicals, and
only IL by tories. The number of tories vo.
ting in the negative was 23l, who were joined
by eleven liberals.
Pdriies would seem TO have made change in
position, the opposition supporting the Ministry,
while the minjsterialists, SO called are in oppo-
sition. There were several members absent
which was unfortunate for the ministry, rs the
liberals counted two 10 one against the tories,
among the abseuiees. So unnatural state of
things cannot long continue, and political ex-
ploson, TO be followed, perhaps, by coalition
Ministry, is no unreasonable expectation.
Ii is vet matter of doubt, whether the Corn
laws viii be Immediately repealed, or be per.
mitted 10 live out their promised three years.
The country is evidently ready to throw them
overheard, and Sir r. Peel is said to have ex.
pressed his willingness TO abide the decision Of
Parliament.
The course ofthe House Of Lords is matter
Ru ic tho In
minority in favor Of liberal measures, in the
Commons, will influence the Peers tostake tie
same course; but if we have regard to the char
acer Of that majority, and see that it is not a
reliable one in a party sense, we shall see that
there is force in HE opinion, that they may act
! only with reference 10 their own sentiments, the
majority regarding ministers as false to their
pledges and TO their principles.

ther with reference to America India, or those
unmentionable places Of which Lord Aberdeen
SO politely talked with Mr. McLane, we are net

posed.
The refusal Of our government to submit the
Oregon question TO arbitration, had excited some
sensation, in England. The English appear to
be surprised. that their proposed commercial
changes have rot banished all prospects of war.
Business was dull IN England, the natural con-
sequence of the unsettled state of the political
world.

In France, the policy Of the Ministry towards
this country still continues to excite debate in
the Chamber Of Deputies, the argument and el
oquence being all on the side Of the opposition
and the majorities on the side of the Ministry
NJ Guzot, the French Prime Minister, plainly
declated, that his course was that which France
was in future 10 pursue towards the United
States, meaning that the country must not be
looked upon as an ally of ours, in any future
contest 10 which we may be forced with Eng

America and England, the government would
have to struggle hard TO repress the popular
feeling for dragging France into il.
We do not fluid any thing Of consequence on
