Our Liverpool correspondent, writing on the eve
Of the steamers departure, says:
The news this week is, in one respect, important
/ ia the highest degree. Excite by series of edi-
tori Is in the London Times, the public mind OF
/ Great Britain has been agitated by the apprehen-
sion of immediate war with the United States The
Times stated that with reference to the recruiting
difficulty, "the British Government has displayed
i most commendable spirit of forbearance and mode.

the United States disclosed desire to force quar-

demands of the United States the British Govern"
nent has returned temperate but dignfed reply,
and has seconded its diplomacy by Strengthening IT'S
/ West India feet with the ships that have arrived
from the Baltic. In this position affairs now stand
These comments of the Times were echoed by the
prov incal press, with cxaggeratlons, until they
gained almost universal credence, and, we must do
the British public the justice to add the belief ex-
cited general establishment and regret, until on Fri
day evening, the I'd inst, the Liverpool Post issued
an extra contang these words:
"Rupture with America.
"Private messages by telegraph state that the
American Minister in London has demanded his
passports, equivalent to it, from our Govern
ment' .s
| We have to thank his Excellency, Mr.. Buchanan,
for his courtesy in telegraphing the following expli
cit contradiction to Liverpool agent, in reply to
an enquiry by that gentleman TO the truth of the
| rumOr:
"LoxDoS, Night of Nov 2d.-Tbe American
Minister, to the agent of the Associated Press IiV,
erpool.-It is not true that the American Minister
has demanded his passports from the British Gov
eminent There is no foundation for such re-
port"
Our agent, not feeling at liberty to make use of
this information gave it no publicity in England,
where, at the time of his writing above, the
rumor of rupture remained uncontradicted.

LONDON, Nov. 2.
The events of the past week have been satistac.
tory although not important. The value of the re-
ceut successes at Knburn and Otchakof has in
creased in the estimation of the public the more
they have been considered; the money market has
continued to present less unsettled aspect; and
the favorable impressions regarding the results of
the recent harvest have been strengthened, On
the whole, therefore, Winter is approaching with
prospects as good as could have been expected
The news of General Simpsons resignation of the
command of the army in the Crimea has been con-
firmed and Gen. Sir William Codrington has been
appointed his successor. Sir William entered the
service in 1921, and being just under 80, is COM
paralively young. His physical yigOr has been
evidenced by the fact that he is believed be the
only officer who has been able to keep to his post
| without interlnission since the commencement Of
the war. According TO report, he has been
absent from illness or any other cause for a single
day. With regard to military skill and the power
OF exercising influence over large bodies Of men,
the best testimony in his favor is that the appoint
ment is understood to be thoroughly popular one
among the troops
The public have also been gratifed by learning
| that the distinction OF knight Commander OF the
Bath has been conferred General Williams in
acknowledgement of his heroism and skill dis
played in the defence of Kars, and the recent rout
| of the Russians before that place.
Another act OF the Ministry in Distinguishing en-
nent services has likewise TRANSFERRED; Sir Hamilton
| seymour, through whose uprightness and sagacity
| the designs of tbs Emperor Nicholas on the proper.
ty OF the "sick man" were in the first instance
posed having been appointed ambassador to vi
| emma in place of the inefficient Earl of Westmore-
land, who is to retire. IL had been seen for some
time that a man of penetration and vigor must be
! nominated to deal at the present crisis with the
Cabinet at Vienna, aud the individuals marked out
by public opinion those from whom alone a choice
| could be made were Sir Hamilton Seymour and Sir
Henry Bulwer. Either selection would ha We given
satisfaction, but the general judgement is decidedly
in favor OF the former.
No later Geographic dispatches have been pub
lishcd from the seat Of war except such have
been received from ST. Petersburg via Berlin Ac-
cordng to these the Allies, after sending division
| from Eupatoria 10 watch the movements OF the
Russian army, had returned TO that place or the
main operations of Generals Peli5sier and Codrng-
ton in advance of Sebastopol, nothing further 10
| known. In some quarters an impression prevails
that the years campaign is virtually ended, and
that Prince Gortschakof will be left either TO evac
uute the CIimea best he may, or TO contend with
its rigors during the winter while the Allies, sup
piled from the sea and holding all the ports, viii III
perfect comfort and security mature their plan for
the Spring. The result of the visit of the field
officers lately despatched by the Gar Alexander to
confer with Prince Gortschakoh, is said 10 have
been the transmission to him Of full authority either
to retreat or to maintain his position, as be may
deem best.
The full details OF the capture and occupation o
Kinburn were received yesterday, and show the sf
fair TO have been carried out with consummate skill
and foresight. At one time, the fire concentrated
upon the place is said TO have exceeded anything
J that was brought against any individual portion o
! Seoastopol. The Governor, it appears, wanted Il
blow up the fortress rather than surrender but the
J garrison did not agree with him aud took upor
themselves to act a more prudent part. The troop
OF the Allies not upon this occasion called iutC
serious work. Ia of prolonged resistance, tn,
: French were to have advanced by regular ap
proaches, while the English were to have resisted
the arrival of any relieving army. AS was, thei
services were principally confined to cutting of th
e escape of the garrison

j, now in the hands of the Allies, it remains to b
