Cambria, with dates from Liverpool to the 9Th

gers.

FRANCE
The Presidential election was the engrossing
topic, occupying the French mind to the exclu-
sion of all Others. Napoleon was every where
triumphant, and his majority would probably
exceed that of l849.

ENGLAND.
Two great events had transpred in the cour e
of a few DAYS preceding the sailing of the
steamer. each capable of producing serious con-
saonenees. The first is the resignation of the
secretary of foreign affairs, Lord Palmerston,
md the second is the election of Louis Napoleon.
A Temporary arrangement in the markets and a
daclne in the prices of money had occurred.
When. however, it became known that Lord
Granville was Lord Palmerston's successor, con.
fdence was in a measure restored.
The sudden retirement of Lord Palmerston
u,os received by the whole nation with regret
and establishment, and is still imputed to dissen-
s;ons known to exist in the cabinet for several
months. precipitated by the significant reception
and emphatic ayowal ofopinions to the kossuth
deputation, which were expressed in language
bv no means complimentary TO the desPots OF
Europe.
The fearless position assumed by Palmerston
,,ovad distasteful TO the ministry, and hence this
result. II has been the all.pervading topic Of
conversation during the festive season, and had
created universal sensation.
Under Secretary Lord Stanly has also re-
signed.
Among the eau SEES assigned for PaImerston s
accession from the cabinet, is difference OF
opinion upon the abstract question OF the French
revelation The mystery, however. is not likely
"a be solved before the meeting OF Parliament.
