HALIFAX, June 10.
News mostly relates to the American diff
culties.
The arrival out Of the atlantic at Liverpool,
was anxiously awaited, as It was reported that
Champion was passenger on board Of her, and
considerable relief was manifested on learning
he was not.
The Morning Post caused considerable ex.
element by an editorial announcement that
the United States Government had actually
dismissed Champion. and that be had lea his
post in consequence and gone to Toronto. The
GIoJs and other papers undoubtedly consider
his as merely random gossip by passengers of
the AaaHt.c. In Parliament on the succeed.
ing evening, D'Israeli put the question direct
to Palmerston, who made shutting reply to
the effect that he understood so from an in
direct cour e, but Mr, Champion not having
himself said so, he had no statement to make.
! In the House Of Lords, Earl Hendwicke put
a similar question 10 which Earl Granville re-
piled that the Government had no information
on the subject
LATER.
The London Morning Posts Paris cores
pondent writes the French Government had
used every effort to move unhappy cOmplica-
tions which had led to suspension Of diplomatic
relations between England and America, and
the Emperor would continue to exercise bis
good Offices in the same spirit Of reconciliation.
and should the two nations actually engage ia
a war, no doubt England may reckon an active
alliance Of France.
Sir Bulwer Lytton put the question to the
minister with regard to the Central American
question. He referred to bis previous with
drawal of motion on the same question, because
the government stated that they have offered
arbitration to the U. S. and daily expected re-
ply, since then, however, grave events have oc-
Cured.
Walker had been recognized By the United
States, and ships ofwa sent to Nicaragua, and
by last accounts from America there was a
prospectof invasion Of the Misquto territory by
Walker, with view Of annexation to Ncara-
qua.
The House would remember that England
was pledged to protect that territory from ex-
ternal invasion, and the grave responsibility on
the government in their state affairs.
He asked whether steps had been taken in
the interval to press the United States Govern
ment for reply.
Palmerstoa prOlessed himself unable to give
any definite answer. He could not only say
that the American Government had been made
fully aware of the offer of arbitration, and the
minister had not thought it necessary to press
for reply.
He thought the interests Of the country, and
permanent maintenance Of amicable relations
between England and America could be promo
ted by a continuance of the udicious forbear.
snce the House had hitherto shown.
The questions now pending we're of a very
grave character, but he sincerely hoped not
without good reason that the discussion may
terminate peaceably.
FRAxcR.-A destructive inundation occurred
at Lyons destroying 500 houses. AT Avino.
it destroyed $50 houses. At the latest accounts
it was subsiding. The government gave ten
million francs for the relief of the sufferers.

ordered to leave.
Washer Times has a leading article, con.
demning politicians in the United States, who.
though condemring the policy Of Pierces Cab
met, do not oppose it with sufficient energy.
The Daily Necs says there is universal dis
like to the idea of war with America, still
doubts begin to arise in many minds, whether
England's couciliatory department has not been
carried as far as prudence dictates, and wheth
er President Pierce and Cabinet are not pre-
suming too much on their knowledge Of Eng
lands desire for peace.
