Ten Days Overdue at SANTANA
NEW YORK. Feb. S.-Some surprise is
beginning to be felt at not hearing from
the tennessee, with the San Domingo
Commissioners. She was not expected to
De more than eight or ten days on her
outward voyage, and day longer would
have carried dispatch to Havana, the
nearest cable station. The weather, since
her departure three weeks ago, has been
rough, which is sufficient to account Tor
the length of the voyage. The Tennessee
was one of the staunchest and most COM
plete vessels in the service of the United
States. There is no doubt of her ability
to weather any gale. 1t seems to have
been expected at Washington that her
arrival at SANTANA would be announced
by telegraph from Havana, but It IS
doubtful that a vessel was found ready at
SANTANA to carry the news to Havana.

TELEGsAs TO the NEW YORK HERALD.

LONDON, March Q, 1871.
The Parliamentary proceedings in both houses
are more animated to-day. On the subject OF the
foreign policy Of the government the debates have
become exciting, as will be seen Dy the following
despatch which send o New York by cabe:-
In the House Of Lords this evening the Marquis OF
Salisbury attacked the foreign policy Of the-govern-
ment, asserting that "foreign Powers were
all contemptuous In their manner toward England.
Prussia mad declined England's aid In negotlat-
ing peace with France, aud Russia had repudiated
obligations solemnly agreed to at the end OF the Cr
mean war;" These insults he placed In contrast
with the guarantees which England was party to,
and therefrom he deduced the decay Of her inter-
national influence He urged the reorganization
OF the armv to the weakness OF which he attributed
much OF England's loss OF prestige
Earl Granville protested against "the unreason
ableness OF the assault made upon the governments
conduct OF foreign affairs.n He quoted a dlstin-
guished American Ofllcer, who had expressed his
surprise at the complete state OF preparation for war
in which he found the British navy.
The discussion ended by the adoption OF an order
for reprintng the text OF the guarantees given by
England In Continental matters.
In the House Of Commons to-day Mr.. Disraeli gave
notice that he should ut future day ask the govern
ment to inform the House whether or not it was
aware OF last years treaty between Russia and
Prussia when Mr. Odo Russell was sent TO Versailles
10 consult the German Chancellor.
The bill for army reorganization was taken up,
and there was a keen encounter over the clause
abolishng the purchase Of commissions the support
ers OF the system predicting a loss OF military
character and prestige should 1t be done away
with.
