LATEST FOREIGN NEws.-The steamer
America arrived at Halifax on Thursday
with Liverpool dates up to the 18th inst.
There is but little news from Sebastopol :;
the allies had gained some slight successes
but nothing decisive had TRANSFERRED. There
is no longer any prospect that Austria will
assist the allies and oil hopes of an early
peace are abandoned. The London Times
assert that Russia never was in earnest ia
her pretended desires for peace.
The English portion of the Baltic feet was
working up towards the Island Of Gothland
as far the ice would permit.
All the documents in regard 10 the Vienna
conference extending over 90 psoes, have
been laid before Parliament.
Lord Palmerston evaded Answering the
question whether the conference was not
finally broken off: but it is said that the
accredited representatives of all the pSGers,
Russia included, continue to reside al Vienna,
the elements Of the conference permanently
exist, should Prussia OF Austria on Mhalf Of
Russia, make at any time proposals Offering
prospect of a settlement.
Druyn de hugs, the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has resigned from all unwll-
lngness to protract the war. Count Walenlski,
the French Ambassador at London, has been
appointed his successor.
Pianori, who attempted to assassinate the
Emperor. has been condemned to death.
The police report that they have dcovered
a vast plot, with qualifications throughout
Europe to promote instruction, and hence
Pianori's execution will be postponed in
Order to trace his connection Herewith. On
the day the attempt was made it was freely
stated in various cities of Italy, Spain and
Germany, that Napoleon was dead and that
Paris was in state Of insulrccton.
The London Times in an editorial says that
the circumstance that America does not
sympathizc with the allies is shocking and

Orr AFFAIRS WITH SpAIN.-M. PERU
at ar. soule.-llora'io J. Perry, Esq, the
L. 5. Secretary Of Legation to Stain, has
addressed a long letter to the President. in
reply to the charge of Mr.. Soule that he lMr.
Ierry) had been acting thc part Of a spy to-
wards him (Mr Souc) at the Court of Spain
and making certain reports to Secretary
Marcy. He indignantly rcpcls the accuse
ton, and charges Mr.. Soule with having I'M
dcrtakcn and followed up rs far as he was
able system OF menace and pressure upon
the Spanish Government. whose object was
either to drive Spain into war with US or
to force sale Of the Island of Cuba. Mr.
Sonlc, he says, impressed his government
with the idea that the sale Of Cuba by Spain
was probable, whereas ms very first appear
ance in the Chamber of the Spanish Cortes
was the signal for that body to rise spontan-
eously and vote unanimously in exact reverse
OF his apparent expectations, there not being
single vote to give the slightest color to his
representations. The result of Mr.. Soule's
mission and bad management, says Mr. p,
has made the peaceful acquisition of Cuba
hopeless.
In regard to the Black Warrior affair, he
charges that Mr.. Soulc managed it not so as
to obtain the just redress which was sought,
but so as to obstruct and impede the success
OF the rrclamations Of the American govern
mcnt. and not only neglected his own in.
siructions from Washington, but attempted
TO induce him Mr.. Perry to neglect them

ought not to speak more clearly Of this sub

OF that frank Course in the case of the other
two, and i'll order that he might not take
measures to impede its realization.
Tic further charges that when Mr.. Soulc
took his final leave of Spain he attempted to
induce him to abandon his post for the seem

of rupture of diplomatic relations with
