The latest Foreign News.

Correspondence ofN. J. Comm. AdcertiSer
LONDON, March 29.--European and do
nestle affairs remain without alteration, bu,
the French Bourse does not indicate that the
recovery of confidence is making progress
while on the London Stock Exchange the an,
nouncement of further demand Of abou,
"a, DOC 900 for India coming just after the
news that a Russian loan Of I'll 100000 is
about to be introduced, has created general
disposition to fatness.
Consols, therefore, have entirely lost the
improvement that was witnessed on the in,
telligence of the Italian question being about
to be settled by Congress. They then ad
vanced to 9Gs, but were yesterday sold at 95S
! There has since, however been little rally,
and the closing price this evening was 95j
a considerable degree of depression which
prevailed yesterday at Paris was attributed
to the prevalence Of ''disquietng rumors, .
but nothing has transpired as to their char,
acter or foundation. They have doubtless
originated in the visit of Count Cavour, who
has had audiences of the Emperor in which
he is understood TO have struggled hard
! against the contemplated adjustment. With
the leading powers, however, now all COM
mitted to maintain the faith Of treaties, there
seems little danger of rupture being brought
about, except by new means and on new
field. The utmost that Sardinia can hope
at present is that she may be admitted to
Join in the general deliberations, but on that
head nothing appears Yet to have been de-
cided.
| The date of meeting of the Congress is
subject for most contradictory assertions
According to some reports it will be delayed
till July, but the common impression is that
all the parties will have assembled by the
first week in May, at the latest. Baden Ba-
den IL now mentioned as the locality that will
most probably be selected.
The Emperor of Russia is represented TO be
honestly i'll favor of Il sound and pacific ad lust
ment in consonance with European good faith
and amoug the politicians at Berlin, who are
still accustomed to look to ST. Petersburg with
considerable reverence, there is proportion
ate confidence that everything will go smooth
ly.
The discussion on the reform bill still drags
its unintcrcsting course. Every one now seems
to expect small majority against Ministers,
but at the same time it is by no means GER
tain that in that event they will either resort
to dissolution or resign. Lord John Russell
could not form strong or popular govern
ment and Lord Palmerston is thought to de-
sire delay. Under these circumstances the
Derby Cabinet may probably accept defeat
should it come, and promise in consequence
TO bring in new reform bill after Easter, and
thus 60 on upon sufferance until the occur
renee of some crisis which would rouse the
country and enable parties once more TO as
sumo distinct positions.

Change in the British Legation.-Reception Of
Lord LYONS.

We understand that on Monday last Lord
Napier presented his letter of recall, and
took leave of the President in his character
ofEnvoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary of her Britannia Majesty, and that
the customary expressions Of good will were
interchanged.
Yesterday Lord Lyons was introduced by
the Secretary of State as the successor of
Lord Napier, and addressed the President as
follows:
Mr.. President: My first duty in addressing
you, as the Envoy of Her Britannia Majesty,
is, in obedience to Her Majesty's express
command, TO assure you of her esteem and
regard for you and Of her hearty wishes for
the welfare of the Great Nation of which
YOU are the Chief Magistrate. Her Majesty
has nothing more at heart than to maintain
the friendship and good understanding 80
happily existing between the Government of
Great Britain and that of the United States.
The vast importance of the relations be-
tween the two counties would cause ME to
tremble in entering upon the duties of the
highly honorable post t" which the confidence
ofmy sovereign has called ne. am sustain
ed however, by the conviction that the good
will and kind feeling which animate the gov
eminent and the people, will remedy my per
sona deficiencies. must entreat you, SIR. to
view with indulgence the humble efforts
which | shall constantly make to merit your
appreciation to give effect to the cordial
and friendly intentions of the Queen and her
Majasty's government.
| have now, sir, the honor to place in ' our
hands the letter of credence which her Maj
esty has been graciously pleased to lntrust to
my care.
Upon receiving the letter of credcnce from
Lord Lyons, the President made the follow
ing remarks:
NY Lord: give You a cordial welcome, as
the diplomatic representative OF your soyer-
eign, to the government oft United States.
receive with much qualification the express
sion Of Her Majesty's hearty wishes tor the
welfare of the United States, as well as OF
her earnest desire To maintain the friendship
and good understanding now so happily eX-
listing between our respective governments.
These assurances, proceeding from soNcr-
eign who is universally esteemed by the peo-
p;e of the United States, and By none ofthem
more than myself, are calculated 10 produce
the best effect Oh the relations between the
two countries. On our part, these sentiments
are cordially rcciprocatcd towards Her Ma
esty and the British people. You do not
YOU cannot, appreciate too highly the i!mp"r,,
lance to the people both ofGreat Britain and
the United States, Of maintaining the most
f,as and friendly commercial and political in,
tercourss With each other. This de irable end
will be best secnrti By frank and manly dip
lonacy so congeniaI To tue character OF the
two nations, and, 80 Ear as known 70 rs, to
your own character.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, April l2.--Lord Lyons to-
day presented to the President his creden-
tials as envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentary Of her Britannia majesty
In doing 50, he gave utterance to the most
profound feelings of friendship entertained
by his government for that of the United
States. and expressed the hope that the ties
of amity would be drawn still closer. The
President warmly reciprocated the senti-
ments announced, and the interview was of
IL more than usually cordial character
The impression prevails here that ex-
Judge Barrett of Pennsylvania, will be ap-
pointed superintendent of public printing.
Much more business than usual is now
being transacted in the Interior Department,
occupving the attention Of the Secretary
sometimes till midnight.
The receipts at the Patent Office last
month are stated to be about Sl4,UUO over
the expenses.
The case of O'Flinn, the postmaster at
Detroit. about which there has been so much
interest Of late, has been investigated SO fur,
that it is thought he will resign.
The Republicans of this city intend firing
100 guns tomorrow afternoon, in honor OF
jefferson birthday and of the republican
victories in the recent State aud municipal
elections.
Ex-Congressman Groesbeck, of GEio, ac-
cording to the representations OF his most
intimate friends. has been offered, but De,
clined. the appointment of Commissioner OF
Patents.
Althrough the government has nothing
more than Geographic accounts concerning
the recognition of the Juarez government ~
Mr.. McLane it gives full credit to the III
tellirence, and enough has transplred TO
warrant the assertion that Senior Mats Will
be received us minister to the United States
on his return 10 Washington.
II il understood here that the reason why
Mr.. FORSYTH was not sent back to Mexico
as United State. minister, was that 10y his
rendered himself unpopular with the Liberal
marty. and hence ii was considered that MS
usefulness would be impaired.
The resignation Of Gen. Bowman, as STU
ner;utendent Of Public Printing, has been
,;ycn in, and is to take effect from the hrst
Of May next. The President has indicated
AN intention to appoint Il Pennsylvania to
suppl the vacancy.
1t is understood that none Of the persons
whose names have been reported hence as
prospective editors of the Constitution are
really to be 50. A.
Hon. John Letcher is here tonight. DIR.
Goggia having declined to meet Mr.. Letcher
at his northwest appointments, and made sep
arate appointments in the east, the latter has
abandoned them, and they will meet on
Thursday at Louisa Court House. -,
Undoubtedly a naval Demonstration Will
be made against Nicaragua, unless radical
change of policy be early adopted by tb+t
~oyernment towards our own.

Likeness of the New Born and the Dead

Larater, in his "Physiognomy," makes
the following curious remarks: Il have had
occasion 10 observe some infants, Immediate
" on their births, and have found an aston

that of their father. 4 few days after this
resemblance almost entirely disappeared: the
influence Of the air and food, and probably
the change of posture, las 50 altered the de-
sign of the face, that you could have brliev
ed il a different individual. afterwards
saw two of these children die. the one at six
weeks and the other at four years OF
age-and about twelve hours after their
death they completed Y recovered the profile
which had struck me so much at their birth;
only the profile Of the dead child was, ~
might he expected, more strongly marked,
and more tcrse than that OF the living. On
the third day the resemblance began 10 dis

their death, the profile Of onr became per-
fectly CONFIRMED to that his eldest son, and
the image of the other father might De
