Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1856-02-26
LATEST FROM EUROPE.


There were two arrivals from Europe on
Sunday; the intelligence being of startling
character. The steamers Atlantic and Asia
bring dates from Liverpool to the 9th and 9th
of February.
There is no tidings of the steamer Pacific,
about the safety of which such intense solici-
tude is manifested.
Great Britain is in state of great excite
ment on the subject Of war with the United
States
at had been again asserted on change at
| Liverpool, that Mr.. Buchanan had demanded
| his passports and his absence from Lady Pal
merston's soiree was attributed to personal
| misunderstanding between Lord Clarendon and
| himself The general tone of the government
press is insulting to the United States, but the
feeling Of the people is friendly.
"The Manchester and Liverpool Chambers
of Commerce deprecate war with the United
States, but seem to regard matters as at a
crisis.
"In the last dispatch we have no particulars
| reported Of the misunderstanding between
Buchanan and Clarendon, and the English
papers maintain a strict silence on the subject
| Lord Clarendon, however, is reported to have
| spoken in the most imperions manner to Mr.
Buchanan which the latter promptly checked
by closing the interview.
ut is said that the Derby party intend to
bring forward motion in Parliament on the
subject of the omission of all allusion to Anne
RIGA in the Queens speech.
| 1t is 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 meantime
the general tone of the English press is threat
ening and presumptuous to the United States
The purely commercial presses form an excep
ton, and the Chambers Of Commerce of Man
chester and Liverpool protest against any in
interruption of amicable relations.
| "The Journal DIES Debates, of Paris, has a
long and labored editorial to prove that up tc
the present point the interests of France and
England are identical, but that continuance
of the war either in the Baltic or Asia would
only subserve to the private interests of Eng
land.
General Prince Paskiewitch died at War
saw on the morning of the first instant.
'SIhe preliminary protocol was signed at Wen
ma on the lst instant by the representatives oil
France, England, Turkey, Austria and Rus
STA agreeing to open conference at Paris
within three weeks. Lord Clarendon has been
appointed the English plenipotentiary. There
is very doubtful report that the Emperors Of
Russia and Austria will visit Paris during the
conference.
An armistice will probably be agreed upon
to the end of March. The armistice will
doubtless only affect land operations.
There is nothing of interest from the Cri
mea or Asia. The last docks at Sebastopol
have been destroyed.
"The London Times says it expects to hear
momentarily of Mr. Champion being dismissed
but don't anticipate serious results The dis.
missal, however, would compel a similar pro-
ceeding on the part of England. The latter
it says, has done all she could to satisfy Anne
rica, and the people would rather commence
war than submit to national degradation
"The London 1drertiser says that Mr.. Buch-
anan is engaged in indicating the honor and
rights of his country at this critical juncture'
By the Asia we have the following items:
The London Morning Advertiser states
that Sir Henry Bulwer had intimated that he
would like to act as mediator between the
British Government and Mr.. Buchanan. This
movement is said to be at the desire of Lord
Pamerston. An interview was to take place
at the Embassy, when Sir Henry would explain
at length to Mr.. Buchanan the compromise
which he is prepared to recommend.
"All the other papers maintain profound
silence on the subject.
The plenipotentiaries of the FIVE great
| powers were beginning 10 assemble at Paris to
attend the Peace Conference.
"In the House of Commons Lord Palmers-
ton, in answer to an inquiry from Mr.. Golden,
said that the correspondence with the Ameri-
can Government On Central American affairs
would, when completed, be laid before Parlia-
| ment.
"Mr. Ballie remarked that he would post
pone the motion which he had given notice of
relative 10 the enlistment difficulty with the
United States, until after the correspondence
had been made public.
"The Times censures the course taken both
by the English and American cabinets in refer
ence to the existing difficulties, and after re-
marking that even the humanity we have
shown must have limits concludes as follows
We are as DESTROYS for peace as Mr.. Golden
can be, but we know that when nation be-
comes too proud to listen to reason, the only
appeal is to arms"
