Important News from England.

VerpoOl dates to Nov. 3d-one week laIeft
than previous advices. We extract the
following from our New York exchanges:
The news this week is important in the
highest degree. Excited BY series of
editorials in the London Times, the pubs
lie mind of Great Britain has been agita
ted by the apprchensions. of Immediate
war, with the United States
The Times stated that, with reference
to the recruiting difficulty, " the British |
government have displayed a most COM
mendable spirit Of forbearance, and mode
ration, while the proceedings Of the lgovr
ernment Of, the United States disclosed a |
desire toforce a quarrel 81 - = the
language and conduct of the American
government. are extraordinary;
and recklessly urging matters to an ex>
.tremity TO the .demauds,of the United
States. the British government has ne
turned a temperate, but .digniRed reply,
and has seconded sits diplomacy BY
strengthening the West India feet with
the ships that have arrived from the Bal
81 tic. In, this position affairs now stand.
These comments of the Times were
echoed by the provincial press, with ex-.
aggerations, until they gained almost uni
Versal credences; and, We must do the
British public the justice to add, 1.-The be-
lief excited general as stonishment and
regret, until on Friday evening, the. Sd
instant, the Liverpool Post is sued an ex-

rr'RUPTuRE WITH AMERICA"
B., "Private messages by telegraph states
that the American minister in London has
demanded his passport, or an equivalent
to it, from our government. News so as
founding might be reCeiv ed with incredu-
lily, but we can only say that holders of
cotton are acting on the report, and there
is sensation on. Change" s: -. e..
We have to thank Mr. Buchanan for
his courtesy in favoling us by telegraph
through our Liverpool agent, with the fol-

Our agent, not feeling at Liberty to

The London News of the 3Oth ultimo,
speaking in q very cOnciliatory tone in re-
gard to American affairs, says /:
"'Ihe letters Of the Attorney General of
the United States, and the concealment Of
the concession made by the British gov.
eminent. betray dis position on the part
Of President Pierce's cabinet to drive
matters to extremilies.
And we regret to add that the con-
duct of our own Cabinet, in giving its
sanction to er pqrte and irritating state
meuts of the case in no less than three
newspapers. proves that it is equally
wrong-headed. This bad blood between
the, Cabinets at Washington and ST..
James does not, we fear, date from yester-
day. We have long been cognizant of the
fact that the communications between our
Foreign Office and the American Embassy
have been animated by anything but II
cordial spirit"
" Unwarrantable aristocratic supercili-
BUSINESS on-the one side has been met by
unwarrantable personal susceptibility on
the other, This deplorable state of affairs
is the only cause that seriously endangers
the amieable relations of two great pco-
ple-a'led in blood, attached to each 9TH

ness connections, each unable to conquer
the other, but each able TO infict incalcu-
liable harm on the other.
Twill the English and American peo-
pie allow themselves to be dragged into a
war by the sordid and self-seeking calcu-
lations Of factions, and the personal sus-
capabilities OF their respective Cabinets
or the time being"
The Washington Union says that the
published official intelligence received
from London by the Pacific gives an as
surance TO our government that the pros
posed naval expedition has no reference
TO Central American matters, nor in any
respect purpose un(riendIy to this coun-
try and that in consequence of this,
Commodore Paulding will proceed to the
coast Of Nicaragua with only one ship, the
Potomac, and in charge onl y of the gene
1al concerns of the United States in that
quarter. -.. . s. .
The Union also states that there is no.
thing whatever in the diplomatic relations
of Great Britain and the United States
which need awaken a moments solicitude
on this side of the water. And it further
adds:
D." 1t is abundantly manifest that in both
countries there exists ia the minds as
we'll of government as of people a right
appreciation Of the value of mutual peace
