England.
Matters here, in relation to our foreign policy, are
every day assuming more serious aspect. The
Greek affair Is settled, but not in a way that is
likely to lead to peace. The French and Russian
governments appear to be greatly dissatisfied at the
turn which affairs have taken, and the ministers of
both governments have left England. No person
in England aware of this state of affairs until
the absence of the French and Russian ministers
at the grand plenipoentary banquet given as usual
on the Queens birthday until their absence gave
rise to some inquiry relative thereto.
In the House of Lords, on Thursday Lord
Brougham called the attention of the MARQUIS of
Lansdowne to the sudden departure of the French
ambassador the anniversary of her Maiestys
birthday, and hoped that diminution of the
friendly feelings existing between England and
France was to be inferred from that occurrence
The Marquis OF Lansdowne said that the departure
of the French ambassador on the Queens birth
day was purely accidental, and was owing entirely
to a desire OF the French government to have his
presence at Paris.
In the House OF Commons Lord Palmerston's
explanation was by no means satisfactory. He
stated that the disturbance between the British and
Greek governments had been so far settled that no
apprehension need be entertained that commerce
would be molested: The only matter remaining
was the investigation of Mons Pacifico's claims
relative to Portugal. In respect to the question
whether the good understanding between the British
and French governments had been disturbed by
the mode in which the settlement had been effected
his Lordship said of course the French govern
ment would have preferred, as well as our town.
that different settlement should have been effected
Circumstances, however, had interviewed to pre-;
vent this mode of adjustment taking place but
he trusted that nothing would arise from this likely
to disturb the friendly relations existing between
the two governments.
The French Assembly, however, took the matter
up very warmly; NJ Lafitte, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, having been highly complimented for his
decision in recalling the French ambassador. The
affair has very serious aspect.

The excitement relative to the new electoral
law is spreading, and r3ttio-s against it are
pouring in from all quarters. Several altera-
tons have been made in this bill. The authors Of
the constitution are decidedly of opinion that any

Part of the National Assembly concur in this opin-
| ion. Three of the leading democratic journals
have been suppressed, and several officers of the
