TO CORRESPONDENTS.
We cannot undertake rejected Communications

The intelligence from Europe brought by two
steamers this morning, crowds our columns. The
leading fact is great excitement in England about
. war with the United States. Groundless, as in
the nature Of the case such an anticipation is, it
has nevertheless sufced profoundly to disturb the
British mind. A rumor circulated in London to
theseaect that high words had passed between Mr..
Buchanan and Lord Clarendon, in consequence of
which diplomatic intercourse had been pretty
much broken of, though no official act of that sort
had taken place. II is also alleged, on the rather
doubtful authority of The Morning Adrertiscr, that
Sir Henry Bulwer is engaged in mediating between
the offended ambassador and the offending Foreign
Secretary. Meanwhile the journals buster good
deal, fact we have elsewhere noticed. The Peace
Conferences at Paris seem to be advancing well,
aad there is little reason to doubt that the war
will now be concluded. The ACCOMPLISHMENT of the
French Empress is expected at an early day. The
new scion Of the Bonspartes will find the family
in high feather. An alliance between France and
Russia is spoken of as sure to follow the peace.
In Austrian Italy complete amnesty has been
proclaimed for the events Of l545.

THE ABSENT PACIFIC.

The nOn-arrival Of any tdings Of the absent Pa
cine, BY either the Atlantic or Asia, has naturally
heightened the anxiety which is universally felt in
her regard But we see, as yet, no reason to in
duige in too gloomy spprehensiOns. There is still
ample room to cherish even confident hope that,
disabled In some portion Of her machinery in the
severe weather which prevailed Immediately after
her departure, she has put back under canvas TO
some European port. The only analogous case,
that Of the Atlantic in 1884, gives strength to this
supposition, and affords just and reasonable ground
for entertsing even more than hope Of her safety,
should che not be heard from even BY the arrival
Of the next and succeeding steamers. 1t may be
remembered that the Atlantic sailed from Liver
pool On the e3!h December, 1851, aud was net

tendency of the present Administration is more

there was no Admirals rank, and he had none to

msnfully and nobly; so do the New-York firemen.
He was paid for it according TO contract. We do

The rank, then, of Admiral will add nothing to

THE LATEST NEWS,
RECEIVED BY
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.
OUR RELATIONS WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

From Our Own Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a 1856.
The telegraph news by the Atlantic has made no
impression in high quarters here. There is no
reasonable probability that Mr.. Buchanan had
asked for his passports This rumor doubtless orgi
mated from one of two causes: first, the fact that
Mr. Buchanan had long since received his letter
of recall, and indicated his purpose to leave the
mission on the 9Th, and London on the 18th of
February. Second, that it was known in London
that the United States had demanded the recall of
Mr. Champion, which, with Lord Clarendon's ex-
psrte statements in the House of Lords, naturally
led to nferential exaggeratiOns.
Mr.. Buchanan's correspondence by the Canada
did not state positively that be would relinquish
the mission as proposed, but reiterated his fire.
quently expressed desire TO be relieved. 1t is pre-
sumed that he is still there for this reason. When
Lord Clarendon informed him that Mr.. Marcys
dispatch should be communicated TO Mr.. Cramp-
ton be had not determined whether his answer,
when prepared, should be sent through Mr. Bu-
chanan or Mr.. Champion, but said ii should in any
event be submitted TO Mr.. Buchanan before being
dispatched. 1t is By no means certain that Lord
Clarendon will wait for Mr.. Champions explans-
tons, although such is the presumption. Mr..
Marcy's dispatch is hard to digest, under any cir
cumstances, and delay will not make the attempt
easier
Mr.. Champion has shown Mr. Marcy's dispatch
to NJ. Bcilesu, the French Charge Affairs, and
others here.
Now that the correspondence by the Canada has
been thoroughly sifted, no sort of foundation for
the reports Of either excited words or feelings be-
tween Lord Clarendon or Mr.. Buchanan, on any
subject. can be found. They are all fabrications.
In the matter of Mr.. Champion and the ObnOx-
ious Ccnsuls, the Administration does not ex-
plcitly make the request for their recall present
ing the alternative Of their passports and the revo-
cation of ,her exequaturs but states that the par
tee are not acceptable leaving their recall to fol-
low a. necessary consequence according to
diplomatic usage. The alternative viii, however,

Tur WOuAN,s HOsPITAL.

We lately gave a report OF the anniversary cele-
bratiOn OF the WOman's Hospital, much-needed
institution, just coming into practical existence
among us. Our readers will have observed that
many of the most eminent medical men, as we'll as
la,men in the city, give this Hospital, not merely
their personal cOuntenance, but their energetic
cooperation. The particular class of diseases to
which it is to be devoted have now, az DR.. Francis
stated the other evening, for the first time great
hospital set apart for their treatment, fact for
which we are indebted TO DR.. j. NJ. Sims, late of
Alabama, who has recently made some important
medical discoveries in connection with the general
subject That these discoveries OF great value,
is proved by the recognition awarded to them by
such eminent physicians as DIS. Valentine Mott,
Stevens Delaield, and others DR.. Sims under
took the work of founding special hospital, and
even succeeded in enlisting the sympathies and
cooperation of benevolent ladies' The result was
a temporary establishment, wherein many cases
are under successful treatment; and so well does
the plan succeed. that large number of our most
influential citizens unite in praising it, and in So
citrg the aid of the city and the State to provide
the means for its full development.
By thousand violations Of natural laws and the
most fagront disregard Of the requirements of pru-
dcnce the women Of this country have brought
themselves into condition of health alike de-
plorable and disgraceful. What with tight lacng,
thin shoes, bare necks, late hours, unyentllated
rooms, and artificial excitants, the in our large
cities present lamentable array of sick. OF
every ten beyond the age Of twenty seven are in
some way afflicted; while of these seven five are
subject to the diseases especially in this Wo
mans Hospital. There may yet be in store for so
ciety millenia day when women will prefer health
to fashion and nature to meretricOus ornament; but
until then thousands must die victims to the fash
ionable foes of the age. If their suferings can
be allevated and their lives prolonged by means Of
such Hospital as the one in question, we think
portion of the public money cannot be more profit
ably and humauely applied than to its establish
nent and liberal support

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN VERMONT.

BELLOWS FALLS, Saturday, Feb. %, 1856.
very large and enthusiastic meeting of the Demo-
Gratis of the lid Congressional District In vermont was
held at Windsor yesterday. A large number were
present from New-Hampshre. Addresses were de-
liyered by the Hon. C. NJ. Ingersoll of Conn, and
E1-Gov Hubbard of New-Hampshire.
National resolutions, strongly ndorsing the Admins
tration and the Kansas bill were passed. TheiCourt-
House being too small the meeting adjourned to the
Baptist Church, filing to its utmost capacity. Two
bands of music were in attendance. After the speeches
and the adoption of the resolutions, the meeting adj
journed with nine cheers. III. +. Stoughton and X.
Harvey were appointed delegates to the Cincinnati
ominating Convention.

The United States in particular, has had enough OF
this sort of intrusion. Upon this Continent the
American Government has politely told Mr.. Bull
that he has already feeding ground enough, and
that they will thank him to keep within bis own
pastures. This Yves the substance OF the Clayton
and Bulwer Treaty, as interpreted by our nego-
tiator. II is also the substance OF our municipal
laws, violated By Messrs. Champion, Barclay and
Mathew. To our view of either point the opposite
party objects, aud hence the present belligerent
temper of our contemporaries across the water.
Upon each branch OF the controversy the true
course of the American Government is very plain.
Inssmuch as the Treaty has led to endless disputes
about its meaning, let our Government at once
declare ii abrogated. And as We have an I'M
doubted right to say that Mr.. Champion and the
several COnsuls don't please us and to send them
home, let that be done also. Both parties will
then stand ss they stood at the ratification OF the

nations. If this peases England, very well. fit
