The Preliminary protocol was signed at
Vienna on the l't by the representatives, Of
France, England, Turkey, Russia and Austria
agreeing to open Conference at Paris within
three weeks Lord Clarendon is appointed
English plcnipotcntiary.
No news of importance from the Crinea or
from Asia. The last of the docks Of Sebas-
torol has been destroyed An armistice by
land will doubtless only be agreed upon, to
last until the end of March.
The most important news is that which re-
lates to the extraordinary excitement in Eng
land on the subject of war with the United
States. 1t wasagan confidently reported on
the Liverpool Exchange that the America
Minister had demanded his passports and his
absence from Lady Palmerston soiree was
attributed to the personal misunderstanding
between Lord Clarendon and himself We have
no particulars of the reported misunderstand
ing, as the English papers maintain complete
silence on the subject. Lord Clarendon how
ever, is reported to have spoken in most
imperious manner to Mr.. Buchanan, which
Mr.. Buchanan promptly checked by closing
the interview. 1t is also reported that the
Derby party intend to bring forward Il motion
in Parliament on the subject of the omist on
of all allusion to America in the Queens
speech. 1t is also reported that France and
England have jointly sent ENJOYS to Brazil
to seek to enlist the interests of that Country
against the L. 5. in Central America. In
the meantime the General tone of the English
press is threatening and pre.umptuous to-
ward the United States.
The purely commercial presses however
form an exception, and the Chambers of Com
merce both of Manchester and Liverpool
protest earnestly against any interruption of
the amcable relations Of the two countries.
he Funds have been unsettled by the
threatening aspect of affairs

The Steamer ASIA from Liverpool the 9th

important news to add to the Atlantic 5 adj

English Coast on the night Of the 7th inst,
in which many American vessels were
damaged.
The London Morning Advertiser states
that Sir Henry Bulwee had minated that
lie would like to act as a sort of mediator
between the British Government and Mr..
buchanan. This movement is said to be atthe
desire of Lord Palmerston. An interview
was to take place at the Embassy henw
Bulwer would explain at lcngthh what he is
prepared to recommend. All other papers
maintain rroJiund silence on the matters
The Peace renipotentiares were beginning
to assemble at Paris.
In thc House Of Commons, Lord Palmcr.ton,
In answer toaninquiry from Mr.. Golden, said
