New York, March 14 —T’he Pacific has ar- rived with one week’s later Earorqan dates. She reached her dock at a little before 9s. m., bringing 51 passengers. . ; The Palmerston ministry has fallen to pieces. Grabam, Gladstone, and Herbert, have re- signed ostensibly on account of the passage of Roebuck’s motion, but private equabbies in the cabinet are believed to be the cause. Rumor says that Roebu®k’s party will sot rest | deepated satisfied without the impeachment of Lord Raglan and one or more of thé ex-ministers. Lord Palmerston’ is.much troubled about the re-construction of the cabinet, not having faliy completed it. Lord John Ressell takes the Oolonis] Secrctaryship as a stop-gap, but will complete his mission to Vienna. Rumor gives Lord Raglan a seat in the cab- inet, and the Earl of Oarlisle, Vieeroy of Ire- land, and the now chancellorship of the Ex- chequer, to Mr. Lewis, an untried man. Members of the Government expres confi- dent hopes that the pending negotiations will lead to an honorable peace, although war measures continue all over Europe. Very inclement weather has caused much suffering among the poor in England. Riots have occurred at Liverpool and Lendon, but no charge for the better is yet apparent. Sir Charles Wood takes Sir James Graham’s place as first Lord of the Admiralty. The Vienna conference will be opened in a few days; all parties profess an anxiety for peace It isofficially announced by the allies that on the 17th, Gen. Leprandi, with 40,000 men and 70 guns, attacked the Turks at Eapatoria, were repulsed by Omer Pacha with a loss of 500 killed. ‘Lhe Pacific arrived out at Liverpool on the 23d. The Africa and Sarah Sands had not arrived when the Pacifio left; but she saw a steamer off Skerries at 1 p. m. on the 27th, sup- posed to be the Africa. The Union arrived at Cowes on the afternoon of the 20th. Louis Napolecn seems determined to pro- ceed to tho Crimea, but England and Austria have advised him to stay at home. A statement that Russia has declared war agains: Sardinia is not confirmed. Tuseany has joined the Western Powers; but Naples has not. THE SEAT OF WAR. Affairs before Sebastopol continue un- changed. A battle was fought at Eapatoria on the 17th. The Russians, under General Liprandi, attacked the Turke, but after four hours firing retired beyond the range of the shells from the English ships. The forces of the Turks and Russians were rearly equal— perhaps a preponderence of a few thousands of the latter over the former. The Turks, who were commanded by Omar Pacha in person, did not pursus the Russians. Lord Raglan is said to have resigned his command to avoid a recall. Earl Lucan ard some other officers have been invited to resign. Joseph Hume is dead. TOE MAREETS. LiverPoot, Feb. 23.—Cotton is dull, and has declined an eighth.

[SEconD DIsPatcH.| Lord Jobn Russell has published an address to his ccnstituents defining his position, and places himself in their han¥s as a candidate for 2 renewal of their confidence. On the 19th the royal assent was given to the North American Fisheries bill A Convention between Great Britain and the Porte has been signed for the enlistment of a Turkish contingent. An interesting debate arose upon the ques- tion of going into committee on the army esti- mutes. Lord Palmerston said the sufferings of the srmyearose from physical causes, beyond the contro! of man, and was not confined to the British. The sick and wounded in the Russian army hed been estimated at 35,000. He also announced the recall of the Earl of Lucan, in consequence of his difference with Lord Raglan. Oo the 20th the Duke of Cambridge took his seat in the House of Lords. Lord Panmure said compulsory measures must unquestionably be resorted to, to fll the ranks of the service. In the House of Commons a discussion arose in regard to commerce with Rursia since the commencement of the war. It was stated in debate, that under the prosent system of blocks ading, the interior trade of Russia suffered no injury, and that ten millions of pounds sterl- ing bad gone from Great Britain to that country. The right of seach was urged asa Becessity in order to prevent the introduction of Rus- sian goods iato Great Britain. It was deemed not advisable to lay before the House the correspondence between Great Britain aud the United States on international arrangements during the war. Lt was stated, however, that the two countries continued on the most friendly terms. Destitution in England bad alinost reached its height. The unusually high prices of pro- Visions, stagnation of business, and an unusu ally severe winter, had thrown thousanda out ofemployment, with no food. Every two or three days disturbances occur among the un- employed in London and Liverpool. ‘Tho weather in ihe Crimea has considerably moderated, and the snow hag almost entirely dissppeared. The health of the army is bet. ter. The siege operations are progressing with considerable vigor. Orders have been re- ceived at Constantinople to prepare a hospital, with bods for 5,000 men; from whioh it is ir- ferred that an assault ia soon to be made Upon Sebastopol. Tho Baltic fleet is to consist of fifty war steamers, carrying 2,060 guns, and five float- ing batteries, osrrying 8 guns each; eight mor- tar ships, and twenty eight steam gun boate, carrying 66 guns; making a total of 100 ves- sels, carrying 2,278 guzs. Pi Whether Louis Napoleon will go to the Crimes is a matter of question. It is said that | 2% he has drawn a plan of vast military strategy, which he wishes to personally superintend. England and Austria think he had better leave it with his Generals. The Americans in Paris gave a grand ball io commemoration of Washington’s birth day. Nearly all of the members of the diplomatic corps, as well as many members of the French government, were present The Frene’ pepors mention that a most de- structive earthquake had occurred in Italy, almost entirely destroyieg the city of Catania. In Prussia » committee of the second cham- ber at Berlin resolved to prepare a note of a want of confidence in the ministerial policy In Austria the semi cffisial journals of Vi- enna contradict positively that Austria in- tends negotiating a fifteen million loan in England. ‘ The imperial paiace at Prague, the resi- dence of the ex emperor, had been destroyed by fire.
