Our Relations with England Less Peaceful.
New YORK, Feb. "a.
| The Atlantic arrived at 10 last night She
experienced strong westerly gales 10 days
successfully, and three days in large field
of ice. She brings no tidings of the Pacific.
| Lord Palmerston promised to lay part Of
the Central American correspondence before
| Parliament.
Peace apparently progresses fayorably. A
preliminary protocol was signed at Vienna
on the LIST inst, by representatives of France
England, Turkey, Russia and Austria, agrees
to open the conference at Paris within three
weeks.
Lord Clarendon has been appointed Eng
lish plenipotentlary.
There is doubtful report that the EN-
perors of Russia and Austria will visit Paris
during the Conference.
| The proctoral preliminary to the Congress
of Paris has been definitely signed, and mat
tiers are progressing fa7orably in the direc-
ton of peace.
| No news of interest from the Crimea, nor
! from Asia. The last of the docks of Sebas-
! topol have been destroyed; an armstice, by
land only, will doubtless not be agreed upon
until the end of March.
The most important news is that which
relates to the extraordinary excitement in
England on the subject of war with the
United States. 1t was again confidently re-
ported in the Liverpool exchanges that the
American minister had demanded his pass
ports, and his absence from Lady Palmer
ston's soiree was attributed to the personal
misunderstanding between Clarendon and
himself.
We have no particulars of the reported
misunderstanding, as the English papers
maintained complete silence on the subject
Clarendon, however, is reported to have
spoken in an imperiOus manner to Buchanan
which Mr.. b. promptly checked by closing
| the interview.
1t is also reported that tie Derby party
intended to bring forward motion in par
Lament on the subject of the omission of all
allusion to America in the Queens speech.
1t is further reported that France and Eng
land have jointly sent ENJOYS to Brazil to
seek to enlist the interests of that country
| against the United States in Central Amer
lea. In the meantime the general tone OF
| the English press is threatening and pre-
sumptuous towards the United States. The
funds have been unsettled and depressed by
the threatening aspect of aft irs.
The following is an extract from an arti-
Gle in the London Times:
owe expect to hear, every day, that ouI
Minister at Washington has received his
passport and is on his way home. That, OF
course, will compel similar proceedings on
our part with regard to the American Minis
ter, and Mr. Champion and Mr.. Buchanan,
the two inoffensive gentlemen representing
their governments at Washington and Lon
don, will probably pass each other in the
Atlantic" 3
After deploring the existence of this DO
mestic quarrel, it says:
England has already apologized enough
to satisfy ten European empires. We can
not hold her responsible for the estrange-
ment, and the Americans must reckon on an
! obstinate resistance if they drive us to it,
Let them count the costs before they take
any final step, else, after two or three PAGES
they may make their calculation in ruins
Again: the London Dispatch says:
! A good deal of pardonable irritation is
felt here, that the sympathies of republi-
can people should have been SO unaccount-
ably manifested during the present war in
behalf Of the main-stay and-sheet-anchor Of
European despotism, and if the people of the
I United States persist, they will receive the
most terrible lesson ever administered tc
national envy and quarrelsomeness"
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce
at its annual meeting on Monday, Feb. 4th
passed resolutions Iegretting the difficulties
that exist between the British and United
States Governments.
| Laier---Arrival of the Asia.
New YORK, Feb. "a
The Asia arrived on the morning of the
Oath. She brings but little news Of impor
tance to add to the Atlantic's adyices.

the 7th. Many American vessels Were dam
aged.
The London Morning Advertiser says tina,
Sir Henry Bulwer had intimated that he
would like to act as mediator between the
British Government and Mr., Buchanan
This move is said to be at the desire of LORD
Palmerston, and that ain interview is to take
place at the embassy, when Bulwer would
explain the compromise at length to Blu
chanan, the compromise which he is pre-
pared to recommend.
All the papers maintain profound silence
on the matter. .res,,. er
The peace plenipotentiaries were begin
to assemble at Paris.
In the House of Commons, Lord Palmer
ston, in answer to an inquiry from Golden
