FOREIGN NEWs,

By the arrival o, the Steamers Atlantic and
Asia al the port OF New York. % the 23l inst.
We have lac news from the 'old World
The most exciting part Of The news. is rela.
tive 10 The difficulties between The Un,tsd
States and England. the main features Of
which are contained 10 the fOlloWlng dispatch
10 the Cleveland Herald.
The most important news is that which re-.
lales 10 the extraordinary excitement in En-
gland on the subjset Of war with the United
StaIes. Ii Nas again confidently reported on
the Liverpool Exchange, that the american
minister had demanded bis passports, and his
absence from Lady PaluersIon's sOirve was
attributed 70 the personal Misunderstanding
between Lord Clarendon and himself.
We have no particulars Of the reported misun.
dersIanding. as the English papers MAINTAIN
complete silence on the subject. Clarendon
is reported to have spoken 10 an impvrious
marner 10 Buchanan, which Mr.. B. promptly
checked by closing the interview. Ii is also
reported that the Derby party intended TO bring
forward motion in Parliament on the subject
Of the omission Of all alluson to America o The
Queens speech.
1t is further reported that France and Eng
land have jointly sent ENJOYS TO Brazil TO see <
10 enlist the interests Of that country agalnsI
the interests Of the United States in Central
america. In the meantime the general tone OF
the English press is threatening and presum-
tuous toward the United States.
Purely commercial papers, however. form
an exception, and the Chambers Of Commerce
both Of Manchester and Liverpool, protest ear
nesIy agains. any interruption Of the amieable
relations Of tbe two countries.
The funds have been unsettled and depress.
ed by the threatening aspects Of affairs.
The following is an extract from leader 10
the London Times
We expect to hear every day that our Minis.
ter at Washington has received his passports
and is on his way home. That OF course Mi
compel similar proceeding on our part with re.
guard to the american Minister. And Mr.
Champion and Mr.. Buchanan, the 10 offensive
gents representing their Governments at Hash
ingtOn aud London, will probably cross each
other on the Atlantic.
After depIOring the existence Of this domestic
quarrel, it says
England has apologizsd enough to satisfy ten
European empires. We cannot hold her re-
sponsible for The enlargement. The Amsri.
cans must reckon on al obstinate resistance, il
they drive US to il. Let them count The cost
before they take any fatal steps,else after two
or three PAGES, they will make their csleula-
lions in vain.
The London Dispatch SAYS. "A good deal Of
pardonable irritation is felt here that the sym.
paLhles Of a republican people should have been
SO unaccountably manifested during the pres
ent war in behalf OF the mainstay aud sheet an g.
chor of European desEoiism, and il the people
of the United States permit their rulers To
plunge them into war with Great Britain,
they will receive the most terrible lessons ever
administered to national envy and quarrelsOme-
ness.
The London Morning Advertiser says that
Sir Henry Bulwer had inLimated that be would
like to act as a sort of mediator between the
British Government and Buchanan. This
move is said to be at the pleasure Of Lord Pal
merston. An interview is TO take place at the
Embassy, when Bulwer would explain the com
promise at length to Buchanan, which he is
prepared to recommend. All other papers
maintain profound silence on this matter.
The Times censures the course taken by
both English and American Cabinets in refer
ence to existing difficulties, and after remark
ing that when the humanity we have shown
must have its limits, concludes as follows
We are as deslrous OF peace as Mr.. Golden
can be. but we know that when nation be-
comes too proud to listen to reason, the only ap,
peal is to arms.
