FOREIGN NEWS.

The steamer Cambria, with Liverpool dates tc
the 18th ultmo, arrived at Halifax on the 29l
ulhmo.
a serious rupture between England and Russia
IS anticipated. These apprehensions grow out o
the unsettled condition OF the Greek question:
England has resolved not To remove her present
blockade, until the Greeks give ample satiSfac-
ton by allowing her demands. The Russian gov
eminent has promised the Creeks assistance, il
The blockade be not removed. A rupture be-
tween England and Russia is a serious matter
And so long the parties are in hostile position
the old continent will be full of interest But
England seems 10 be threatened with war from
other quarters. The Cabinets OF ST. James and
Vienna are engaged in an unfiendly correspon-
dencc. We are not informed as 10 the Cause.
And II is to be feared that John Bull will find
Ireland troublesome. The history of Ireland is
unchanged. Every aspect, in which she can be
viewed IS discrcdltable 10 the persons who rule
her She IS altogether in an unhappy condition
Nor is this all. She is progressing farther and
farther into ruin, and her condition, day by day,
is growing worse. Nor do the troubles of Eng
land end here. Her Parliament is about to re-
sign And this, too, at time, when it is engaged
IN most important work-c urtailing the public
expenditures.
France is quiet. And, indeed what is really
strange, the utmost tranquility prevails in Paris.
The Pope designs to return to Rome at an early
day. How he will be received we are unable
10 say. The trumphal arch, erected in anticipa-
ton of the Holy Fathers return to the Eternal
City, has been burnt, whether by accident, or in
consequence of a change in the public mind, we
cannot decide.
