The Foreign News.
We give in this days paper full synopsis Of seven
days later news, which was received yesterday by
the steam ship Great Western, from England and
other parts of Europe. The news is not very mpor-
tant but is rather interesting. Intelligence from
New York, to the 18th Of last month, had been re-
ceived in London vis Havre, by one Of the Havre
packets. but oay two of the London papers had il in
their columns This intelligence was taken alto
gether from the New York Herald. 1t will be recol-
lscted that at that time the great reaction the
Oregon question mad taken place in Congress. The
speech Of Mr.. Haywood, who commenced this
movement in favor Of compromise, was received by
the French ana English journals through the NeU
York Herald, together with synopsis Of the great
speech of John G. Calhoun, Of South Carolina The
developments connected with these speeches, had
produced favorable effects on the European mind !;
and there not the slightest apprehension but that
difficulties between the two countries would be sat
isfactoriy and peaceaby settled, provided Mr. Polk
was willing to so arrange them. The effect on the
money and commercial market, was very favorable;
and similar effect was observed on the receipt Of
the English news here yesterday, as soon as its cha
racter was known in Wall street.
One important feature In the English news, con-
sstsn the apprehensions ente rtaned certain quar-
ters that Sir Robert Peel has yet to encounter great
difficulties; and some even 60 so far as to predict
that the ministry and their measures will fall through
The attempt to carry through Parliament the Irish
coercion bill, ahead Of the corn-law BILL was begin
ming to beget great deal Of discomfort Several
other influences are at work which are I'M
favorable TO the great corn law revolution in Par
lament. Even the London Times begins to waver
in its belief that Sir Robert Peel will succeed in car
rying his measures. If such state of things should
take place, and Sir Robert Peel's measures should
not be carried through, under the present aspect of
affairs, the result would be unfavorable to the ad
justment of our difficulties with England peaceably
In all other respects the news seems MOTTO be par
icuarly important. We refer our readers to the
details in another column.
