ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC.
New York, Nov. Is.

NEW York, Nov. Is.
The Pacific arrived off Sandy Hook at
half past six O'Clock this morning. She
brings mails seven days later.
An extraordinary excitement prevailed
throughout England, amounting almost to
q panic, on the subject of war with the
United States. The London Times issued
a series of editorials, the subject of which,
exaggerated by the provincial press, spec
div Obtained such o dimension that extras
were issued announcing that the American
Minister had demanded his passports.
A general establishment and regret was
excited by this announcement, and ener-
gctic protests were made against the gov
ernmcnt forcing the country into q DAN
gerous and disastrous war.
Our Liverpool agent telegraphed to
Mr.. Buchanan, who promptly and court
eously sent him the following explaining
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, Faiday night,
Nov 2d.-It is not true that the Ameri-
can Minister has demanded his passports
from the British Government, and there
Is no foundation for such report. Not
w~ithstanding this denial, an uneasy feeling
remains upon the public mind.
The intelligence from the Crimea brings
no news of any stirring events. The AL
lies have returned from their advance
to their previous positions, and were in
expectation of an attack from the Rus
slams. 1t is, nevertheless, very unlikely
that any further operations will take place
this season. Both armies are preparing
for winter. Some triHing successes have
been gained by the fleets, which have now
sailed toward the Gulf of Perekop. Gen.
Codfington has been appointed comman-
der of the British troops in the Crimea.

The following intelligence was received
yesterday: Gen. Canrobert has embarked
from Lubec for Stockholm in a French
steamer. A dispatch from Danzig states
that the bulk of the allied feet vas about
to proceed to Kiel. A dispatch was re-
ceived at st. Petersburg, that all lines of
the feet of Kimburt had proceeded sea-
ward, and that the allies had attempted
nothing new.
Prince Gortschakof telegraphed to st.
Petersburgh on Thursday, that there was
no new movement in the Crimea.
A correspondent of the Cologne Ga
xette, writing from Berlin. alludes to ru-
mors Of peace, but they are looked upon
in diplomatic circles as u~nfounded, not
only merely because Russia has resorted
to o fresh levy of conscripts, but because
every communication from that empire
discountenances the belief that Russia
will make concessions to the demands of
the Western Powers.
On the other hand, all letters from
Vienna allude to rumors of peace. A
correspondent of the Daily News de-
clares Russia positively intimated at both
courts of the great German Powers her
willingness to negotiate alone upon the
basis of the four points, and that of the
Allies of December @. The latter are
disinclined to resume a diplomatic con-
ference, although the Western Powers
have at the same time declared they can
only consent to such a step when there is
any prospect of attaining a satisfactory
result. 1t is added that Austria is very
far-sfrom declining the cooperation OF
Prussia.
The Prussian Gazette of Oct. 30th
afirms that at this very moment the
French Government intimates at Vienna
its readiness to negotiate with Russia on
basis Of four points, adding that it was
resolved to continue war and ~re-commence
military operations next spring with re-
doubled energy, should a peace not be
concluded in the interim. The British
Government has prohibited expectation
TO all foreign countries of saltpetre, nitrate
of soda, sulphate of potash, muriate OF
potash, and chlorate of potash.
