Arrival of the Pacific!

Arrival of the Pacific!
New York, Nov. Is.
The steamer Pacific arrived off San
dy Hook at half past six O'Clock this
morning.
She brings dates seven days later.
Anextraordinary excitement prevail
ed throughout England, amounting to
panic, on the subject Of a war with
the United States.
The London Times, in series Of edi-
torials, started the subject, which was
exaggerated by the provincial press, and
speedily obtained such dimensions, that
extras were issued, announcing that the
American Minister had demanded his
passports.
General astonishment and regret was
excited by this announcement, and ener-
gctic protests were made from all quar-
ters against forcing the country into
dangerous war.
Our Liverpool agent telagraphed to
Mr.. Buchanan, who promptly and cour-
teously sent him the following explicit
contradictions:
LONDON. Friday Evening, Nov. 2.
alt is not true that the American
Minister has demanded his passports
from the British Government, and there
is no foundation for such a report"
Notwithstanding this denial, an un-
cosy fsslins remaIns upon the public
mind.
The intelligence from the Crimea is
not of stirring character.
The Allies had returned from their
advance to their previous position, and
were in expectation of an attack from
the Russians.
1t is nevertheless thought unlikely
that any further operations will take
place this season. Both armies are pre-
pairing for winter.
Some trifling successes have been gain
ed by the fleets, which have now sailed
towards the Gulf of Perekop.
General Codrington has been appoin-
ted to the command of the British
troops In the Crimea.
The difficulty between France and
Naples has heen settled.
LONDON, Nov. 3.
The following additional intelligence
was received yesterday:
Gen. Canrobert has embarked from
Lubec for Stockholm, in French steam
er.
A dispatch from Dantzic states that
the bulk of the allied fleet was about to
proceed to Kiel.
A dispatch received at St. Peters
burg states that all lines of the feet of
Kinburn had proceeded seaward, and
that the allies had attempted nothing
new.
Prince Gortschakof telegraphed to
st. Petersburg on Tuesday that there
was no new novemen in the Crimea.
A correspondent Of the Cologne Ga
zette, writing mBerlin, alluded TO ru-
mors of peace, but they are looked on in
diplomatic circles as unfounded, not only
merely because Russia has resorted to a
fresh levy Of conscipts, but because ev-
cry communication from that Empire
discountenances the belief that Russia
will make concessions to the demands
Of the Western powers, on the contrary
all letters from Vienna allude to rG
mers of peace.
The correspondence Of the Daily
News declares that Russia has positively
intimated at both the Courts of the
Great German powers, her willingness
10 negotiate alone upon the basis Of the
four points, and that of the allies of
December End.
The latter are disinclined to resume a
diplomatic conference, although the
Western powers have at the same time
declared they can only consent to such
! step when there is sure prospect of
attailing satisfactory result.
1t is added that Austria is verv far
rom declining the cooperation of Prus-
,ia.
The Prussian Gazette, of Oct. 80. af- a;
irms that at this very moment the
French government intimates its readi-
lesst to Vienna to negotiate with Russia
IN the basis of the four points.
That it was resolved to continue the ,
var, and re-commence military opera
ions in the spring with redoubled ener-
", should peace not be concluded in 7
he interim.
The British government has prohibi-
ed the expectation to all foreign coun-
ries of saltpetre, nitrate of soda, sui
hate of potash, muriate of potash and
hlorate of potash.
The mercantile letters from Paris in
icate an increased confidence.
