evening a. Portland brings fcar days Later news,
without S1y material change IN matters o. i'm
ortance.
The despatch which we had by the last mat in
peferenoc 10 the postponcment OF the conferences
nv the sHerence between France enS Esglard on
the Be,grad question, is confirmed. The Cabinet
Of the emperor, it is decidedly stated, differs from
Mat Of England on this important matter, and con
ssouerty there is but little hope Of satisfact Try
result from new conferences. The organ of the
rssieal party in England airms positively that the
differences between the courts are OF the mo Il
serious character. On the other hand the French
papers, or rather those amcng them which are
Usually supposed to lie well Informed, deny tie
s,.Iy Of q dispute between toe governments, and
predict that the conference viii meet at the time
