Passengers per America at Halifax report

As the Baltic arrived out safe on "Wednesday.

port NAV prove correct.
THE NEGoTIATIoNs.-The Peace Congress
conferences were expected 10 open on Monday,
the 18Th, but the non-arrival Of Count Buol and
A Ii Pasha, will postpone the meeting probably
ill Wednesday, The 2lst. Baron Brunow has
arrived at Paris, and the Russian embassy is
once more brilliant.
The London Advertiser says that Austria
and France both wished for the admission Of
Prussia, but Palmerston absolutely insisted on
her exclusion.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Times pro-
fesses to know that France and Austria have
come to an understanding Of the fifth point, and
that England will be outvoted in the conferen-
ces, if she attempts TO make sine qua n on Of
the disarming Of the eastern coast Of the
Black Sea.
CRIMEA.-The Allies have exploded The last
Of the Sebasiopol docks. Fort Nicholas is
mined. The Russians continue TO fire heavily
from The North side. Five English regiments
are preparing TO return home. The French
army received the news Of peace with much
dissatisfaction.
The peace news caused much excitement in
the Russian army, and preparations making for
an attack on Gen. Autemarre's division were
countermanded.
GREAT BRITAIN.-An interesting debate oc-
CURED in the House of Commons on the night
of the 18Th.
Mr.. Roebuck rose to call the attention Of the
House TO the relations with the United States,
aud moved for The production Of all correspon-
dence with the government ofth United States
relative 10 the conduct Of Mr.. Champion. Mr..
Roebuck commenced by impressing upon the
House the necessity for the question to be prop
erly understood in Great Britain, and that il
should be ascertaued who was TO blame for
the unsatisfactory state Of England's relations
with America He remarked tha, the laws oI
the United States prohibited recruiting fol
foreign service, anG that in the early days OF
the republic that government had required a
French Minister TO be removed for such infrac-
tion Of the laws. Their jealousy therefore on
this head was therefore only natural. He pro-
ceeded To show from document read at the late
trials in the United States, that Mr.. CHAMPION
knew he was breaking the law next, he iook
means 10 evade it; and thirdly, he was supper
ted in the evasion by The government Of Nuva
Scotia and the Governor General Of Canada
and urged to ii by the home government =
Under these circumstances, Mr.. Roebuck con
tended that the government Of The United States
was justified in requiring the recall OF Mr.
CHAMPION, and that the apology which ih'
| British government had rendered was a deln
sion upon-the House and country. He there
fore called first, for a specific answer TO iht
| question What Instructions were given Il
Cramplunl and next, for an expression o
opinion on the part Of the House, that the,
were no parties To this violation of the laws o
the United States.
Mr.. Had6ed seconded the motion.
Lord Palmerston replied, defending the gov
ernment, and stating that the correspondent
would be produced as soon as the last despaic
from the American government had been an
swered.
Palmerston then launched into a fierce in
veclive against Roebuck, whom he called III
mouthpiece Of cauIDnies uttered in the Unite
States, and as holding brief from the enemy
Palmer>ion then coblinned-' No man c0ul
more strongly feel the calamiIies which woul
arise from a conflict between the British natio
and the United States. These were the SEMI
ments of all people of this country, hnl it wa
one thing TO entertain friendly sentiments tc
wards kindred people, and another TO lose ou
feeling of selfrespect."
Ii was incumbent upon those who wer
charged with public interest, TO cultivate bot
those sentiments, for the interests of peac
were equally great IN both sides of the Altar
tic, and calamity arising from stale Of wa
would be equally disastrous.
That, however, which government had
consider was tie justice of lis cause and VIII;
was benefting the dignity and honor Of II
country.
