Late ~ I0pertant Foreign News
..Arrfval or the HtbcfMia,

Late ana Important Foreign New
carnival Of the HtbcfMta,
Last week we gave, - the --latest new
from England, the dissolution Of Sir Rob
srt Peel's Ministry and the organization
Of new cabinet under Lord John Rus
cell, with Lord Palmerston at the head 0
foreign adsirs; which was considere'
highly unfavorable TO an amicatle adjust
ment Of the Oregon question, consistent,
with the rights and dignity Of the Unitet
States. Subsequent accounts from tn,
East 70 to show that this item; Of new
produced great excitement, with the ap
prehension Of speedy and open ruptur,
between the two countries The New
York papers spoke confidently Of the
prospect Of war; and the Mayor Of thai
city had recommended to the: Common
Council to :ortify the city in anticipation
of the event.
Scarcely had this got cold, however
& when the Hibernia arrived, bringing news
that the assumption Of power by Lord
John Russell was followed almost imme-
diately BY its abandonment and by the
rehabilitation Of Sir Robt. Peel. Lord
Russel wss unable to form a Ministry
Lord Grey refusing to enter the Cabinet,
it Palmerston was to be Minister of For
eign Affairs. The resumption Of power
by Peel had magical effect 10 restoring

had been parlized by his abdication.
It is still said that the corn laws will
be repealed; but appears probable that, as
= compromise, duty Of 6s. or lbs. per
quarter will be proposed, to be gradually
reduced until it expires.
The Presidents Message was received
at Liverpool and London, on the 9Th De.
cember. II was. regarded on the whole as
s.pacife, and treated by some leading
journals, with much fairness" But it is
proper that we should here remark that,
though immediate war is not probable,
We cannot count confidently: upon a
continuation of peace, without COM
promise Of our Just rights and national
honor, which will be considered by every
true American, ss far too high to purchase
il at.
The Liverpool Times" says---."One
cause, perhaps, Why the Message has a.
greeably disappointed speculation here is,
the well timed observations in which it
INDUCES respecting liberal Tariff. II
Oregon is the bane, the proposed reduction
of the Tariff is tho antidote in ths Presi-
dents message to Congress.
Upon the whole then, ifthe Message
has not given all the satisfaction in Eng
land which the friends and well wishers
Of America desire, il has a favorable point,
that free Of trade; and the pending triumph
of free trade principals will, in all proba-
bility, be accompanied by satisfactory
adjustment of that bone Of contention the
Oregon. Polk and Peel agree as TO the
necessity Of the frst-why MT IS TO the
last alternative?"
Still Later from Mcxico-- q ownfall
Of Herrera.
The U. S. brig Porpoise, from Vera
Cruz, brings news that Paredes:had been
completely successful in efIscling revo-
luton in Mexico. Tie Capital opened
its gates to him without striking: blow.
One of the oetensible motives foi exciting
the revolution was the fact that: Herrera
had signified his willingness to open ne
quotations with our government on the
subject Of Texas. Thi. aroused the army
snd formed the principal basis Of the man.
ifesto adopted BY the garrison at Tampico.
Paredas issued pronunciamento, set
ting forth his plan for new government;
which was to convoke an assembly duly
elected by all the voters Of the states, to
which all political power would at once
be entrusted, while he would content
himself with the privilege ofmarehing to
the frontier to encounter the enemies Of
their territory Sc Sc. Me-. Slidell,
American minister. was at Jalara, and it
was doubtful whether he would be per-
mitted 10 open negotiations with the new
government.
IL Gen. H. S. Foote anf j. w.
Chalmers, have been elected Senators in
Congress by the legislature OF Mississippi
the former for the term of nix years,
and the latter for the unexpiref term Of
the Hon. Robert j. Walker. &

Very Late from Hayti. The: schooner
Silas Wright, Captain Conklin, ,arrived at
New York on the Sd instant, FROM tie Port
au Prince, with advices to the 18TH uIt.

au Prince, and lombard the town, if the
Haytiens did not pay SIG, 600 p an in
demnity to the French Consular'Agent re-
Gently driven thence:
The blacks at Hayti, II is said, are be-
coming very insolent to foreigners.
