Arrival of the Steamship Bre-
men.


FARTHER POINT, G. E. May 6.
The steamship Bremen, from Liverpool
25th, via Queenstown 26th, passed this
point at 4,3O P. NJ. to-day en- rom for
Quebec.
A report, which was current in London,
that Heenan had died of Erysipelas, proves
to be utterly unfounded. Heenan, on the
22d, writes to the Times: Il see by your
articles of Saturday, that you misunder-
stand my wishes, and it does me great in
justice. 1 have no difference to settle
with Sayers, except such as l tried to set
tie with him on the 18th, and instead oi
of being called boy ought to be termed
a baby, if, after having come so far and
not having got a settlement, should be
willing to relinquish my purpose for few
good natured "pats on the back" and
being told 81 am fine fellow" 1 have
received great many anonymous letters
asking if am not ashamed of myself-a
great fellow like me to come over to whip
a little man like Sayers. Under ordinary
circumstances should not think of send
ing a challenge to man of Sayercs' size,
but England thinks him big enough to de-
fend the Belt. l want it; and cannot get
it except through him. The enclosed let
ter, which | sent to Bells Life, when /
heard that they intended to call OF the
surgeon to name the day before which
Sayers could not finish the pending affair,
will show my position, and as Bells Life
has not published it you will do me great
kindness by letting the English people
hear what 1 have to say.
If the late battle is not to be resumed
and the belt is not to come to me for what
has already taken place, claim to be first
on the list to meet Sayers again for the
next chance to conquer it.
The following is the letter to Bells Life
Not having been able to obtain from
you as referee the final decision upon tbs
fight Tuesday last, desire TO demand,
through you, new meeting during the
present week. I make this demand from
having been informed that it has been sug
gested on your part that I should give
Sayers sufficient time to recover from GER
tain injuries receiyed by him. Now, sir
while I am willing to accommodate him il
any proper way, l must not be unmindfu
of my own right. l also received injuries
but l bargained for them; and put it tt
you as man of honor whether, if l had
been deprived through the effect of the
said fight of my eyesight, or the use o
my arm as in the case Of Brettle when dis
played by Sayers, you would have made
Savers wait for me for any length of time
that might be dictated by my private doc
tor. When this match was made, the date
of the battle was the 10th. or as soon a;
we could get to fight; and according to the
rules if the fight should be interrupted, il
was my understanding, and believe it i;
the law, that we should fight within &
week.
We did meet according to contract; the
battle was said TO be unfinished, and an
prepared to renew it at any moment with
in lawful limits. If Sayers is not, on ac
count of Injuries received from me, and
cannot meet me according to the rules o
manly opposition, 1 demand and claim the
Belt, which he is not, according to the
rules of the Prize Ring, entitled to retain

Two hundred pounds are said to hav,

GREAT BR1TA1N.-In the House o
Lords on the oath, the Marquis of Nor
mandy brought forward resolution com
planning of secret correspondence having
been carried on between Lord Cowlev, Tho
British Ambassador at Paris, and the
Government, having reference to impor
tant matters on the Savoy question. ant
declaring it injurious to the public service
to have questions of moment referred to ii
private correspondence, unless there is also
public record of the same.
Lord Cowley stated that he regarded
the motion as a censure upon himself and
had come from Paris expressly TO defend
his course. He asserted that his first in
formation relative to the intentions O
France was received privately and the com
munication was of such a nature that he
was unable to include it to public dispatch
es. The first official information he had
was in February last, and then forthwith
laid it before the Government. He de
MED that any communication of impor
tance had been withheld.
The Marquis of Normandy finally with
drew the resolution.
The weather throughout England con-
tinued cold and wintry. Spring was very
backward and gives some little anxiety re-
garding agricultural prospects.

Paris for china on the 25th of April.

Prussia had agreed to the proposition tina
