England.
LIVERPOOL, May 18th.
Matters here in relation to our foreign policy
every day assuming a more serious aspect. The
Greek question 10 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 these governments have left England. No
person here was aware of this state of affairs, un-
til the absence of the French and Russian Minis
tiers at the great plenipotentiary banquet given
usual, on the Queens birthday, gave rise to some
inquiry relative thereto. >n& ~ ~
In the House of Lords, on Thursday, Lord Broug-
ham called the attention OF the Marquis of Lans-
downe to the sudden departure Of the French AM
bassador on the anniversary of her Majesy's BIRTH
day, and hoped that no d1minution Of the friendly
feelings that existed between England and France
was to be inferred from that occurrence.
The Marquis Of Lansdowne said that the depar-
ture Of the French Ambassador on the Queens
birthday was purely accidental, and was owing en-
tirely to the desire of the French Government to
have the benefit Of his presence at Paris. -
In the House of Commons, Lord Palmer ston gave
an explanation by no means satisfactory. He stat
ed that the disturbances between the British and
Greek Governments had been far settled, that no
apprehensions need be entertained that commerce
would be molested. The only matter remaining for
Investigation was Mr. Pacifco's claims relative to
Portugal. s
With respect to the question, whether good un-
deTsanding existed between the British and French
governments, as TO the mode in which the settle
ments had been effected, his Lordship said, Of
course the French government, as well own,
would have preferred that the settlement could
have been effected; circumstances, however, had
interviewed to prevent this mode Of adjustment ia
king place, but be trusted that nothing would arise
kolr IN dtc,r Fr,n
between the two governments. The French AS
sembly, however, took up the matter very serious-
ly. Mr. Lafitte, Minister Of Foreign Affairs, having
been highly complimented for his decision in re-
calling the French AMBASSADOR, has very serious
aspect. The Funds, which are always the test of
public feeling on these occasions, experienced a
decided shock. On Thursday, Consols, which
stood the previous evening at 90 16 declined 81 to
8, but they subsequently rallied and closed at IS
% l-6. -e.-- z-#...

The excitement relative to the new electoral law
is Spreading, and petitions against it pouring in
from all quarters. Several alterations have been
made in the bill. The authors of the constitution
are decidedly Of opinion that any attempt TO limit
the franchise, except by the Con stiuent Assembly
is Illegal, and part of the National Assembly con-
ours in this opinion. Three CT the leading Demo-
cratic journals have been suppressed, and several
officers Of the National Guard have been punis
for signing petition against the new law. Appre-
tensions Of serious insure ciou in consequence
of this law have revived within the last few DAYS.
The trade Of Paris is more satisfactory under
standing than it has been since the revolution of
February. Accounts from the agricultural Districts
are not cheering. The farmers have sown but lit
tie, and 1t is feared that next harvest will not be
sufficient for the consumption.
