Neither brought any tidings in reference
to the missin. steamer Pacific.
Peace apparently progresses favorably.-
Preliminary protocols were signed at Vienna
on the LIST, by representatives of England, .
France, Turkey, Russia and Austria agree-
ing to open the conference at Paris, within
three weeks Lord Clarendon is appointed
English plenipotentiary.
There is "A doubtful ruInor that the enpe.
rors of Russia and Austria will visit Paris
during the conference.
The peace plcnipotentisaies were begin.
ming to assemble at Paris.
The Paris J0urla, de Bats has long and
Iaborcd editorla. to prove that up TO the pre-
sent point the interests Of France AMIR Eng
land o"e Identical but that a continuance Of
tac war, either in the Baltic or in Asia, would
only subscrye the private interests Of Eng
land
An armistice by land only, Will doubtless
be agreed upon until the end OF March.
/ The most important news IS that which
relates to the extraordinary excitement In
England on tho subject Of war with the
. United States. It was again confidently re-
ported on the Liverpool Exchange, that the
American Minister had demanded his pass
ports, aud his absence from Lady Palmer
ston's soirce was attributed to the personal
misunderstanding between Lord Clarendon
and himself
We have no particulars Of the reported
misunderstanding as the English papers
maintain complete silence on the subject.
Clarendon however, is reported to have
spoken in an imycrious manner 20 Buchan-
an, which buchanan promptly checked by
closing the interview. Ii is also reported
that the Derby party inteuded 10 asiGs. for
wa d u motion IN parliament on the subject
Of the omission Of al. aliusion TO America in
the Queens speech 1t is further reported
that France and England have jointly sent
ENJOYS TO Brazil to ask to enlist the interests
Of that country against the interests Of the
United States IN Central America.
In the meantime the general tone Of the
English press is threatening and prcsumptu-
Gus toward the United States
Purely commercial presses, however, form
an exception, and the Chambers Of Com.
mercc OF Manchester and Liverpool, protest
earnestly against interruption Of the AMIGA
BILE relations Of the two countries. The
funds have been unsettled and depressed by
the threatening aspect of affairs. The fol-
lowing is an extract from leader in the
London Times.

After dcploriug the existence Of the do
nestle quarrel, it says:
England has really apologized enough to
satisfy ten European Empires We cannot
hold her responsible for the enlargement.
The Americans must reckon on an obstinate
resistance if they drive US to it. Let them
count the cost before they take any fatal
steps, else after two or three PAGES they will
make their calculations in vain

The Times censures the course taken by
f both the English and American Cabinets IN
reference to existing difficulties, and after re.
marking that The cquauiHjty We have shown
must have It's limits, concludes as follows:
