FOREIGN NEWS.
SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival Of the Packet Iowa.

i The news is four days later from Liverpool
| than that brought by the Oxford.
| The Iowa sailed from Hapre 18th December,
and brings US London dates 10 the 10th, and Ha-
yre TO day of sailing. The announcement of the
London Times as to The repeal ofihe Corn Laws,
and opening ofthe ports, was evidently prema.
lure, butthere are inlimltions that a commercial
ltreatyis on the tapis between Great Britain and
the United States. The unworthy insiauation
Iagains; our Minister, Mr.. McLane, was promptly
mel and checked by the Secretary Of Legation.
| The news Is of great importance, ns exhibit
ling the iaeling in England relative to the open
ing of the ports, and the negotiating CONNER
cal treaty with the United States
| The declaration of the London Times, ofthe
the 4th ult, that the English Cabinet had agreed
upon the opening of the ports, and several other
| Important measures, created tremendous sensa-
tion throughout England and France. Its effect
| in London was like throwing bomb-shel in the
livery midst of bankers and politicians.
| 1t appears, however, that the Times withdraws
| IT'S statement, with the important qualification
that the English ministry had changed lis views,
and that the ports ,cOuld not be opened.
| The excitement which the first announcement
produced in every circle, however,was the means
of letting out the important fact that negotiations
had probably been begun in London for a COM
mercal treaty between England and the United
States; and it is supposed that the announcement
of The Times was originally based on the proba-
| BILE fact
| Gansevoort Melville, ESQ, Secretary Of the
Legation Of the United States, has addressed the
following letter to the London Herald:
SIR:-My attention has this moment been
| called 10 an editorial which appeared in the
Morning Herald OF yesterday, and which is copi-
| ed without comment in the Standard of the same
date. From it beg leave to extract all that
Ipart which refers 10 Mr.. McLane, the American
Minister, promising that he left London for Par
IS on the morning Of the Sd inst, and has not
lyet returned That portion Of the article to
which IalIude reads as follows:
"The American Minister has been charged
with misinforming the Times for the purpose,
which probably some dpomatists may not think
| ldshonorable, of sending TO the United States
| fabricated news that mightinfuence the decision
of the Tariff question. We do not suspect Mr..
McLane Of such indirect practice, but whether
or not he has resorted to il, the guilt of the
Times is the same; for that journal ought not to
publish what it knows to be false upon the sug-
gestion of any orS least of all upon the sugges-
| ton of foreign Minister. Mr.. McLane, howe
yer, for the sake of his own honorable and pure
character, and for the sake of the honor of his
country, would do well to acquit himself of
charge that has been very extensively circulated
| in the city"
Thirty years Of high public service, and
probiiy in private life which is proverbial, have
placed Mr.. McLaRe beyond the reach Of attacks
| like these, and it would be impossible for such
charges TO obtain moments credence in Ame-
| RIGA, or with any one in Europe to whom Mr.
M'Lane is known. In fact, scarcely deem
them worthy of reply; but yet, least in the pres
ent excited state fthe public mind on The sub
lject of the Corn Laws, any man should be SO far
mslcd as 10 accord to these caumnics even pass.
ling considerations in the absence Of Mr.. M'Lane,
without communication with him, on my own re-
sponsibility, deny explicitly, fully, and without
reserve, each and every imputation therein con-
tanned, and brand them with falsehood from first
| 10 last. Lam, sir, your obedient servant,
GANESVOORT MELVILLE,
Secretary of the Legation ofihe United
States Of America at London.
From the London Times, of Dec 10.
! We have now good reason for believing that
Iday or two-perhaps the Priyy Council TO be
held this day at Osborne house--w remove all
doubt ofiho ministerial determination in favor Of
an entire repeal OF the Corn Laws.
