GREY
lMr. La,crenss to Mr.. Queens.


+ My DEAR SRI have Just received a rely 10 my
note TO Lord Palmerston, accompanied by Lord
Grey's explanation OF the despatch to which called
his attention am assured that he never intended to
sanction suggest entering into any arrangements
with regard TO slaves first known to and apr owed
by the masters, and that so far from supposng that
any American would or could complain of the pro-
posed arrangem mt, it believed the Shareholders
would receive it with satslactIon and join in carry
ing ii into fleet.
It Appeals that Il has been aware tor some
time that the We olones suffering for
tile want OF an adj gply of labor. A gentle.
man from these col0dlal fected his attention to the
fact that there were in OF the slavehoidnR States
a large Number oftrec blacks whom the whites would
be clad to have removed and who would meet to a
certain extent the wants OF the colonies. Knowing it
TO be the policy of the slave States rid themseves OF
such population, he thought measure cuntempla-
ting such result would be fayoraby received by
them.
H. was further led to suppose, on the authority of
cer'ain American gentlemen communicated 10 him
through the same channel, that mapl Shareholders
would avail themselves OF such opportunity to
emancpare their slaves, if they co I'D be assured of
their being removed from the county
He was inolmed thai the laws feTbs de enlancipa-
ton unless the liberated slaves were also removed
and that the tense of thus prevented persons who
would otherwise ealancpae their slaves from dong
so. But II was said measure would be acceptable
which would enable such persons TO remove their
slaves from the country when liberated without expense
to themselves.
With this view he prepared a plan which should
aim the employment in the West India Colonies OF
free blacks from the United States; and should so Of
fer to tn planters tho prospect, not only of rems-
val OF The liberated slaves without expense, but of
recovery of portion of their value also. He recon-
mended this plain to the colonies, and wrote the
circular in question in the belief that the want of la
Dor would be supplied from these sources with the
assent aud corporation of The shareholders and the
Governments OF the slaveholdine States.
1t is to be regretted that, with such end in view
language should have cen employed capable OF a
different construction; but this explanation appears to
deprive il ofits Objectionable character.
With great consideration. remain, dear sir, very

Important Relative to the Pronefhens Difficulty.

NEW IURK, JHnudIY z.
Authentic letters received by The Cambria, state
that when the letter OF Secretary Wrb-ter. written in
Lawrence at London, he immediately wrote note 10
Lord Palmerston. This was on Friday, and on the
following Mondty Cabinet Council was called, and
it thought fo' the purpose of discussing the fir
ing into The PRONE theus. From thai Cabinet meeting
Lord Ptlmerstnn absent. On Monday, Mr..
Lawrence feeling anxious for explanation cal ed
at the Office OF the Foreign Secretary, and was then
informed that Lord Palmerston was not in town.
This fact, and the Immediately announced resigne-
ton of Lord Palmerston, of course accounted fol the
delay replying 10 Mr.. Lawrenee's official note -
The letters also state that Mr. Lawrence is using his
best exrtons to obtain satisfactory explanation and
would no doubt have already done So but for the re
signation OF Lord Palmerston.

MODIFICATION OF THE TARIFF.


The Washington correspondent of the Nsw.Yo rk
Journal of Commerce. usually well posted in coming
events eiyes in letter The following inkng OF
contemplated movement ia regard to the preseat
Tia riff:
learn that, though no tariff scheme has yet been
brought forward IN Congress, the subject his been agi
tated among the embers. Senator James, of R L.,
has framed project for mod lfcauon OF the tariff
aud having consulteda number OF mbers in regard
TO it, will prsseat it with The appreciation OF some
OF the leading Democratic members OF DO houses
understand that his scheme embraces a reduction
OF the rate oil duties articles Of manuiac lure
that enter into general consumption, and increases the
rae OF duty on he finer fabrics. II proposes 10 add
ten per cent. to the present duties on iron, and The
same upon ne cottons, and fabrics OF cotton and wool
1t leaves the present system unimpalred in other
poets.
"Wheiher the project will meet the assent Of the
Pennsylvania and New York interests is doubtful -
The syivanians expect more and ask for The ex-
elusive protection OF their interests. No scheme
can be brought forward, with any chance of success
except under Democratic ausp ces In the course of
week or Two, we snail know more OF this subject"
