GREAT EXCITEMENT RESPECTING
A WAR WITH THE U. S.

A WAR WITH THE U. S.
The steamship Atlantic arrived at New
York on Sunday morning. She has expe-
slvely. She was three days in large field of
ice. She brings no news of the Pacific.
Lord Palmerston promises to lay part of the
Central American correspondence before Par.
lament
Peace apparently progresses favorably. The
preliminary protocol was signed at Vienna, the
list, by the representatives of France. Eng
land, Turkey, Russia, and Austria, agreeing
to open conference at Paris within three
weeks.
Lord Clarendon is appointed English Plen.
ipotentiary
No news of interest from the Crmea, or
from Asia.
The last of the docks of Sevastopol have
been destroyed.
An armistice by land only will doubtless be
agreed upon to last until the end Of March.
The most important news is that which re-
yates to the extraordinary excitement in Eng
land on the subject Of war with the United
States.
1t was again confdentially reported on the
Liverpool Exchange that the American Min
lister had demanded his passports, and his alb
sence from Lady PGlmerston's soiree was at
tributed to the personal misunderstanding be-
tween Lord Clarendon and himself We have
no particulars of the reported misunderGtand-
ing. as the English papers maintain complete
silence on the subject. Lord Clarendon,
however, is reported to have spoken in the
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
ION in Parliament, or the subject of the
omission of all allusion to America in the
Queens speech. 1t is reported that France
and England have Jointly sent envoys to Bra
I'll to seek to enlist the interests of that coun-
try against the United States in Central Amer
lea. In the meantime, the general tone OF the
English press is threatening and pres umptious
toward 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 to
the am cable relations of the two countries.
The funds have been unsettled by these
threatening aspects of affairs.
The following is an extract from a leader in
the London Times =
We expect to hear every day that our
minister at Washington has received his pass
ports and is on his way home. This of course
will compel similar proceedings on our part
with regard to the American minister, and
Mr.. Champion and MIR. Buchanan, the two
inoffensive gentlemen representing their gov.
ernInents at Washington and London, will
probably cross each other on the Atlantic
After deporing the existence of this do
mestc quarrel England has really apologized
enough to satisfy ten European empires. We
cannot hold her responsible for the enstrange.
ment The Americans must reckon on an
obstinate resistance if they DIVE us to it. Let
them count the cost before they take any final
steps, else after two or three PAGES they will
make their calculations in VAIN
The London Dispatch says: =
&C. good deal of pardonable irritation is
felt here that the sympathies of a Republican
people should have been so unaccountably
manifested during the present war, in behalf
of the great manstay and sheet anchor of Eu-
1opean despotism. If the people of the United
States permit their rulers to plunge them into
war with Great Britain, they Will receive
the II most terrible lesson ever administered to
National envy and quarrelsomeness."
The Paris Journal des Debat8 has long and
laoored editorial to the present point. The in
terests OF France and England, are identical
but that continuance of the war, either in
the Baltic or in Asia, would only subserve the
private interests of England.
On the lst of February, the chairman of
the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, at the
annual meeting Of the Chamber, spoke in
strong terms against any interruption of friend
ly relations between the two countries, 9th
er members expressed the same sentiments.
Tut the Chamber did not adopt formal reso-
luton on the subject.

John Bright, NJ. p, was moved by the Mayor

heSoSoed, That this Chamber has observed
with deep regret, that difficulties have arisen
between the British Government and The Gov
vernment of the United States, with regard
to the construction of treaty on the subject
of Central America, and to attempts which
are alleged to have been made 10 enlist men
for the British army, within the jurisdiction of
the United States. This Chamber would ur.
gently impress upon the Government of this
country the propriety of considering these
questions IN conciliatory spirit, with strong
determination to spare alike to the United
Kingdom and the United States the indescrib.
able evils which must arise from any interrun-
ton of amicable relations between the two
countries.
Inc resolution was unanimously agreed to-
