| New Yofk, Feb. 24.-The steamer
Atlantic arrived off Sandy Hook last
night. She brings dates from Liver
pool to the 9th of February.
The news by the Atlantic is impor-
tant, both politically Il commercially.
The peace negotiations progress favor
ably, but there is much excitement res
pccting the prob ability of o war with
the United States.
Ithad been again asserted on change
at Liverpool that Mr.. Buchanan had
demanded his passports, and his alb
sence from Lady Palmerston's soiree
was attributed to personal misunder-
standing between Lord Clarendon and
himself. The general tone of the gov
ernment press is insulting to the Uni
ted States, but the feeling of the people
is friendly.
The Manchester & Liverpool Cham
bers of Commerce deprecate war with
the United States, but seem to regard
matters as at a crisis.
| 1t is said that the Derby party in
tend to bring forward motion in Par
Lament on the subject of the omission
of all allusion to America in the speech
of the Queen.
] Itis also stated that England and
! France have Jointly sent ENJOYS to
Brazil to enlist that country against
the interests Of the United States in
Central America. In the mean time
the general tone of the English papers
is threatening and presumptuous to the
United States. The purely commercial
! presses form an exception. The funds
have been depressed by the threaten
ing aspect of affairs. The following
extracts from some of the papers will
show the feeling prevailing.
| From tie London Times.
I We expect to hear every day that
our Minister at Washington has recei-
| we'd his passports, and is on his way
home. That, of course, will compel
similar proceedings on our part with
regard to the American Minister, and
Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. CHAMPION, the
two inoffensiye gentlemen representing
the governments at Washington and
London, will probably cross each other
on the Atlantic. After deploring the
existence of domestic quarrel. Eng
land has apologized enough to satisfy
ten European empires, and we cannot
hold her responsible for the estranae-
ment. The Americans must receive
an obstinate resistance if they drive us
to IT. Let them count the cost before
they take the fatal step, else after two

a good deal OF pardonable irritation
