TUE IaDRoGfIo WITH ENGLAND.
The most important news Is that which re-
lates to the extraordinary excitement in Eng
land On the subject Of war with tho United
States. twas again confidently reported on
the Liverpool Exchange, that the American
Minister had demanded his passports, and
his absence from Lady Palmerston's soiree
was attributed to the personal misander-
standing between the Earl Of 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 spo-
ken in an imperous manner 20 Buchanan,
which Mr.. Buchanan promptly checked By
closing the interview. 1t is also reported
that the Derby party intended to bring for
ward motion in Parliament on the subject
Of the omission of alt allusion 10 America
in the Queens speech. 1t is further report
ed that France ana England have Jointly sent
enyovs to Brazil to enlist the interest Of that
country against the interest If the United
States in Central America. In the~meantime
the general tone Of the English press is
threatening and presumptuous toward the
United States.
Purely commercial papers, however, form
an exception, and the Chambers Of Com
mercc. both Of Manchester and Liverpool,
protest earnestly against the interruption Of
tbs amicable relations Of the two countries.

on our part with regard 70 the American
Minister; and Mfr. Champion and Mr. Bu-
chanaR, The two offensive agents represent
iug their Government at Washington and
London, will probably cross each other on
the Atlantic
After deploring the existence of the do
nestle quarrel, it says
England has already apologised enough
to satisfy ton European Empires. We can
not hold her responsible for the cstrange-
ment. The Americans must reckon on an
Obstinate resistance if they attempt to drive
Us to il. 1t them count the cost before theg
take any fatal steps, else after two or three
PAGES they will make their calculations ID
vain.
The London Dispatch says good deal of
p4rdonable irritation Is new felt that the
svnpaehics Of a republican people should
have been 80 unaeeountably manifested dur
