We have to-day an avalanche of important and interesting news from s'l points of the compusi. The Matest dates recetved are— July 14. July 12. ++ Joly 21, last evening, with a week’s later rews from Europe. The only really important feature of the intelligence is the miniaterial flare-up in Eogland, growing out of the @ourse pursued by Lord John Russell with refer-. mee to the Vienna Conference. Our latest des- pateh from London announces that Lord John has vesigned his seat in the Cabinet, and this éveat, no doubt, eaved the ministry from a complete break down. There is nothing startling from the C imea. Bebastopol has been treated to a couple days’ bom- Dardment, but it effected nothing. Both beslegers and besieged were actively employed in preparing for future demonstrations. The allied fleets have made nomovement of importance. In fact, the war ‘Bews is particularly flat. Inthe editorial columns may be found a retrospect of the events of the ‘week, to which attention is directed. ‘The steamships Star of the West avd Gorge Law arrived at this port yesterday, bringing two weeks Jater intelligence from California, and news from various points on the Pacific, New Granada, Cen- ‘teal America, and Cubs. The news from California is not important, ex- cept ina political point of view. The Democratic Sate Convention assembled at Sacramento on the 27th ult., and, after two days bicking and filling on the part of the delegates, succeeded in finally nomi- matirg John Bigler for a third term in the execu- tive chair. Twenty two of the delegate’, who could not swallow Bigler, withdrew after the nomination was made. Samuel Purdy was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, and it was stated that Mr. ‘'?. Flournoy would probably receive the nomination for Comptroller. The temperance folks held their convention at Sacramento on the 20th ult., but made no nominations, Thoy satisfied themselves by passing prehibitory law resolutions, and recom- merdipg the cther parties to nominate temperance candidates, Theland settlershelda mesting in San Francisco on the 23d of June, at which they adop'ed a platform, which we publish in fall. They do not re ommend a new party organization, but they advance their measures and principles, ao that the voters at the next election can see which party has candidates favorable to their interest. Tce steamer America, whieh had been running between San Francisso and Oregon,was totally destroyed by fire near Crea- eent City on the 24th June. She had on board at ‘the time a company of U, 8. soldiers, numbering one bur dred and thirty-two men, a}! of whom, together with the other passengers and crew, were saved. Business was represented as being vary brisk in Ban Francisco and other portions of the State, and, what is most important as well as interesting, we have no more reports of failures or defalsations. rope were good, miners prosperous, crime was on the decrease, with a decided improvement inthe morality of the people both in town and couatry. California is looking up. The news from Oregon is interesting, but unimportsnt. The Fourth of July was celebrated at Acapulco in grand atyle, by the American residente. The letter of our correspondent gives full particulars. From New Granada we learn that the Legislative Actembly of the State of the Isthmus met on ths 16th fost., and organized. The claims of foreigaers were being advocated with a good desl of excite- ment. Gen. Obando had been sentenced to twelve years banishment. News had been recaived at Aspinwall, but doubted, that Colonel Kianey had landed at Greytown. Cholera had broken out severely at many points on the Nicaragua route. A severe government decree with regard to the punishment of sny adverse action of a foreign consul in protecting citizens resis:ing the payment of Btate dues, is published, The Fourth of Jaly peered off at Aspinwall with great éc/at. Captain Bontwell, of the United States sloop-of war John Adams, had ent@ained a distinguished party on board his vessel. Our Rivas (Nicaragua) correspondent, writing on July 14th, gives a detailed account of the defeat, rout and retreat of the Walker expeditionary band, afteran exciting contest with the government forees. The expeditionists, fourteen in namber, Ianded at Realejo on the 14th of Jane, aud having ‘been reinforced by one hundr3d and forty native tacope, under the command of Colonel Felix Rami- vez, the entire force was ordered by Gexeral Castil- Jon to march and subdue the dapartment of Rivas, ‘They went on, meeting very little symoathy from the ecuntry people, who distrusted tue “' Yankees,” as they termed the Welker men. On the 25th of June the government troops, aided by a number of volunteers, met the revolutisnists at a fort near San Juan del Sur, and having atiacked them, tne ni tives fled, leaving Walker to ight out his battle as best he might. His men did this gallantly, defend. ing themselves with their rifles through the loop- doled walls of an adobe building for a length of time. This place was ultimately stormed by tos young voluntecrs, and the filibusters completely vouted, leaving thiiteen Americans dead fn- wide the house, and having many more wound- ed. The bodies of the dead were barned, Beveral papers of importance were foand on them. It was said that Colonel Walker bimsolf was killed, but his retreating mn said that hedid not ergage in the fight at anytime. a. of Lopez expedition memory, wit) L’ derson and Merriman, and Dr, Jones, the filibuster dead. The remnant of the went towards the Coste Rica territory in pitiable plight, and if was feared their re from the authorities there would be very unfriendly. The official report remdered to the Nicaraguyn government of the previous taking of the town of Rivas by the Castillon party—including the Walker filibustega—showe that the governmen!: lost the commandant, twelve cfflcer, and over s hundred men. From the South Pacifico we have lator news, The Congress of Chili met on tho lst of Jane, when the President congratulated members on the silent bot eure material advancement of their ooant: the path of civilization ani coma of popular education. The Copispo mines were im proving, andthe weether wea good. The Valpy roiso markets were dail. Cotton was very inactive. Fice wae wanted. In Pern, it wae thonght that General Castilla would be elected President. Gan. Cordove, son-in-law of Baiza, way govarameat oa- Gidate for the Presidenoy of Bolivia, He was likely to succeed, bub it was thought thay Bilza weuld not resign office to the persca elected. From Australia we have Metbourne aavices to the 10th of May, ceventeen days later. There is n> political intelligecce. The gold markets were dull. Gold rated at £315 to £3163 per ounce. The over importations of ff0d supplies into the colony is commented on severely by the papers, and it is seid that the immense agrisultural resources of Victoria would render ita pursuit raiaous to the speculators in the end. From the Sandwizh I lands we have nows to the 5th of June. The new wine bill bad passed the Legislatore, and the tax collection bill was Itkely to be adopted. A Maine law bill was advocated. Queen Victoria’s birthday was celebrated with great pomp. The United States sloop-of- war Desatur had gone to render asseisiance to the Sydney parseuger bark New World, bound to San Francisco, which ley off Honoluiu leaky. The last whaleship had left Labaing. The pclitical news from Caba is of no importance. A commercia) failure fora million and a half of dollars is reported. ‘We have late news from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Col. Fontleroy had defeated the Utah Indians, kill- ing forty of the savages. Major Brooks was killed in the fight. Migpel Oltro is a candidate for dele gate to Congress. Business was very dall, and money acarce, There seems to have recently been some trouble in Kentucky, in consequence of an attempt to pre- vent the Rey. John G. Fee from preaching. Fee was charged with distributing tracts to slaves, and inciting ineurrection, and Cassias M. Clay took the field in his behalf, depying the accusations. Ho publicly announced his intention of supporting Fee, even at the expense of his own life, and fears were en‘ertained that bloodshed would be the re" sult of the affair. The telegraph, however, has not informed us of any particularly bloody conflict re- cently in Kentucky, and we therefore conclude that all parties have ovoled down. Coney Island was the scene of a most melancholy occurence yesterday. A Methodist clergyman and his daughter were drowned under circumstances of & moat touching and romanti: character. The tather perished while endeavoring to save his‘child, and she preferred dying herself to imperilling tae life of her lover. The whole affair, which is given in detail elsewhere, is most romantic and mourn- fal. We publish in another column the reply of the Liquor Dealers’ Society to the challenge of the tem- perance men to test the Prohibitory liquor law through the various legal forms, to the court of last resort. The dealers, for obvious raasons, which sre cogently set forth, decline the proposition. They prefer to try the question on its merits at the bar of public opinion at the next election. The brig Jobn Boynton, arrived yesterday from Port au Prince, lost seven of her passengsrs, and also on the 30th ult., John Hall, seaman, of Phila- delphis, and on the Ist inst. George Goult, chief mate, of Maine, all by fever. The sales of cotton were confined to 300 or 400 bales yesterday, at steady prices. Common to good medium grades of flour dec.ined about 12}0. a 250. per barrel; wheat was without materia! change. A lot of gocd new Georgia red sold at $180. Corn was ateady at 90c.a 91c. Pork was firm, with fair transactions. About 600 bbls. of Chi:ago mess beef, part re packed, aold at $16 a $17. Lard was active and firm. Coffee was active, with sales of about 2,700 bege of Flo a’ fall prices. Sugars were firm, with sales of 1,200 a 1,300 hhds. To Liverpool about 1,200 a 1,500 bales of cottom were engaged at 4d. a 5 32d. for compressed and uncompressed. The eduction in the price of common brands of flour, with ‘ow freights, brought it within shipping rauge of Liserpool prices, and yesterday and the day be- fore between 1,000 and 2,000 bbls. have been en- gaged for the latter port at 1s. per bol. Rica was n better demand and firmer. The News from Europe=Ministerlal Break- up in England. The news by the Atlantic is not as fall of events as usual. Matters before Sebastopol h2d not changed. The Allies were erecting strong works round the Mamelon and the heights stretching to Careening Bay, and the Russisns were strengthening the Malakoff and Redan with equal vigor. Behind the latter, a new star fort had been thrown up, which, in the event of @ second and more successful assault on that work would obviously render it untenable by the assailants. By telegraph from the Black Sea we hear that a fourth bombardment had taken place—prepsratory, as was understood, toa general assault; but it seems that it was followed by no better results than the former ones, and that the assault was consequently post- poned. Omer Pasha had returned from his recon- naissance on the line of the Tchernaya, having found the enemy entrenched behiad works of such strength that he dared not venture on an attack. Needless to add that, though the British journais represent the state of the mili- tary operations to be the same as it was before the 18th June, the position of the Allies is de- cidedly more precarious. It has long been the opinion of all who are qualified to judge that the operations before Sebastopol could not eventuate in any notable success for the Allies until the Perekop and the rest of the Peninsula were secured. It now appears from the report of Omer Pasha that it is not possible, with the force which can be detached from the besieging army, to cut a passage to Simpheropol. We learn to organize any hopeful expedition azainst the interior or north of the Chersonesue; and the corollary follows that, under present c'roum stances, it would be wholly gratuitons to ex pect that the siege of Sebastopol can terminate otherwise than in defeat and disaster. At home, the allied Powers are equally em berrassed. Napoleon, it is true, has obtained from his faithfal Chamber bis enormous loan o seven bundred end fifty millions and his levy of 140,000 men. But Pruvsia is said to be on the point of concluding an alliance with Russ'a, and if this be consummated, France will soon need all her sparemen onthe Rhine. Sardinia too, which has sent away her armies to have their throats cut in the Orimea, has received a fignificant hint in the shape of an announce ment by the Aus!rian Radeteky that more men | re wanted in the cities of Austrian Italy, and the i nt gratification of his desire by the government, which has detailed 10,000 t the service. Victor Emmanuel wil soon find that though war is a beantifal gamo, it is one at which two can play. Bat itis in England matters look the worst for the combined reigns. Anything 80 monstrously foolirh os the debates in Parlia- ment at this crisis has nover been read of in history and can,ghardly be concetyed by the moet frenzied imagination. Not one of the po litical parties represented in the House of Gom- } mone*seems to have the slightest iden o° the likewise from the movements of the troops at Kertch, Yenikale and on the Sex of Azoff, that the idea of prosecuting the invasion in that quarter has been abandoned, and that the fleets are con- tent with the glory shed on them by the facile conquest of fishing villages and trading posts, The inference is irresistible that with the utmost force of the four allied Powers they ave unable NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1855. peril in which the British kingdom stands. They go on debating by the dreary hour about the rights ot Jews, and sanitary commissions, and church endowments; Mr. A. eneers cour- teously at Lord B, and the Marquis of C. lets off a polished sarcasm about Viscount D.; eve- ry thing is conducted with the utmost decorum, ond also, it must be added, with the utmost in- difference to the brave army that is perishing in the East, and to the menacing shout of the People assembled without the hall. The Lord John Rassell exposé is a fair sam- ple of the Parliamentary proceedings. Lord John, it appears, agreed with Count Buol and M. Drouyn de l’Hoys in regarding the Ruseian Proposals at Vienna as satisfactory, and was for patching up a peace on their basis. In this the Cabinet at Westminster differed with him, and directed him to reject them. He returns home, and, unlike Drouyn de 1’Hays who re- signed because the Emperor would not make peace, inaugurates his retura to the House. by @ flery war speech, proving conclusively that the Russian proposals were out of the ques- tion, and that he would have been insane to agree to them. Of course this proves Lerd John to be what people with good memories have always considered him— @ political rogue. In the impending crash of the empire, however, Lord John Russell’s cha- racter would hardly appear at this distance a matter of enough importance to engross the at- tention of the legislative body. Yet Parlia ment has nothing better to do than to waste hour after hour in perzonal discussions about this foolish lord, and the great question of the day appears to be whether or no he deserves a seat in the ministry. It is quite plain that the Palmerston adminis- tration are about to fall. Lord+Palmers‘on took office, it will be remembered, when the public were exasperated with Aberdeen’s imbe- cility ; he was chosen from a belief that his euperior energy would improve the condition cf affairs and ensure sucsess to the army. Now, it is manifest that so far from justifying this expectation, every department of the public service is ina worse condition than before, and, though he has certainly expended far more money, and ar m England more men than his prede- net successes he has achieved are ater than Aberdeen’s, and the great of the war is as far off as ever. This is understood in England; and it appears quite certain, judging from our information, that he will be overthrown, either upon this personal question relating to Lord John Rus- sell, or upon the more radical motion of Mr. Roebuck. The next mail will probably bring us news of a ministerial crisis, and change of ministry in England. So far os trade is concerned, the prospects are the same aa by last mail. Cotton is dull. Breadstuffs were firm in consequence of a temporary diminution in the supply; but the tendency was downward. Business was very dull; no new enterprises were being proposed; the old ones were prosecuted on the most restricted scale; and consequently money was still idle. Coin, however, continued to flow across the Channe]. The Bank of Eagland had lost a couple of millions; and £700,000 in spe- cie had been exported during the week. The prospect of an issue of Exchequer bills was ear- nestly canvassed. Crry Taxes—The Board of Supervisors yesterday adopted the report of the Com- mittee on Annual Taxes. The proceedings will be a ae Rata elsewhere. The pith of the whole is, that a sum of $2,393,600 will be required to pay for the expenses of the city during the current year. The chief items are, the Almshouse, which costs $613,450; the interest on the revenue bonds, $194,000; contingent expenses of the county, $120,000; repairs to public buildings, $100,000; salaries, $332,000; water pipes and laying, $123,000; Deghue and Belgian pavement, $165,000, Altogethtr, the tax for city pur- pores amounts to $1 204 in the $100. This is aheavier proportion than we have had any past year except 1853, when the weight of the taxes almost produced a civic convalsion. Last year the proportion was $1 05 to the $100; in 1853, $1 234. A question has been raised but not yet acted upon, relative to the personal property owned by non-residents in the city. The last act authorizes the city government to assess it as well as the property of residents, and & rough estimate has been made, show- ing taxable personal property to the amount of fourteen millions and a_ half to be owned in this city by non-residents. This is equal to one-eleventh of the whole per- sonal property taxed thie year; and it is proba- ble that if all the personal property owne1 by non-residents were ascertained, it would rather exceed than fall short of a tenth of the whole. An addition of this exient to the taxable pro- perty would have the effect of reducing the tax to the neighborhood of its figure last year. At the rate of this year, the non-residents ought to contribute $170,000 to the city expenses, They escape the tax--defraud the clty to this amount--by residing in the country orabroad. The question whether they have a right e0 to do has now been decided; the act of the Legislature is positive on the point; itonly remains for the municipal authorities to carry the legislative injunction into effect. The amount of the taxes this year is large, but not larger than was to have been expected. None but quack reformers avail themselves of the cry of retrenchment, and hold out a pros- pect of economy as a reward to the public for installing them in office. When a city comes to spend a couple or more of millions a year in ordivary expenses, to agitate for retrenchment in the expenditure is to set a premium on mis- government. The people of New York haye alwoys been ready to pay largely. They have bever grumbled, however large was the sum asked of them. They paid a million cheerfully, FuvaLe OF THE LaTe Fiuimusrerino Forays —Tue Waker AND Kiyyey Exrspirions Du- reaTeD.—The steamer from Nicaragua yester- day brought some highly importaot intelli- | gence, the details of which, as transmitted by our corz¢spondents and translated from the journals of Costa Rica, are givea in another column. The news thus received gives us a key to several filibusteriog movements which have been set on foot in various parts of the United States during the past six months; and while we regret the fate of the American citizens who have suffered by the disastrous result of these enterprises, we cannot but admire the spirit of the people of Nicaragua in the summary mea- sures which they adopted to relieve themselves from the society of their over-anxious and too liberal friends. As our readers are aware, things in Nicara gus have been in rather an unsettled state re- cently. Like several of the South American republics, Costa Rica has founda great deal of difficulty in preserving order and consti- tutional liberty at the same time. On account of some local differences, a large party united in armed resistance against the authority of the legally elected Director, Caomorro, and his succeseor. The political leader of this party, Castillon, gave to it its distinctive name, al- though General Munoz was its military chief. After a long and ansucceseful siege of the seat of government, Granada, the Castillon party sent to Colonel Walker—heretofore made no- torious by the disastrous expedition to Sonora —for aid. Walker, it appears, was only too glad to get into a fight, and enlisted a number of men at San Francisco to assist in ‘the civil war then going on in Nicaragua. The {fili- busters were to be paid ia land—(we give a copy of the certificates )—and in due time they set sail, having first broken the laws of their own country by illegally confining a Sheriff on board of the steamtag which towed their vessel out of the harbor of San Francisco. This party included fifty-five men, all told; and in due time they arrived at Rivas, after visiting Raelejo and San Juan on the Pacific. Our accounts show that here Colonel Walker’s expedition met with a most disastrous defeat. Walker is said to have been killed; but that is doubtful, It appears that members of the Castillon party, so far from joining the Americans, assisted in storming the house in which “los Yankees” were fortified. Undoubtedly the natives were afraid that the redoubtable Walker would en- deavor to take possession of the country, and they preferred to trust the detested party of the late President Chomorro rather than a fo- reign adventurer. In the meantime, how anxiously Walker must have looked for the arrival of the other filibustering “Colonel,” Kinney, in his flag- ship, the steamer United States! It seems very probable that the Castillon party had made overtures to Kinney similar to thoee sent to Walker, but the in- terference of Senor Marcoleta, the <Ac- cessory Transit Company and the Attorney General, prevented Kinney from sailing in time to effect a junction with the forces under Walker. Consequently Walker failed, conse- quently Kinney’s expedition was knocked in the hea eequently various bubbles have in- condigently burst, consequently Nicaragua will not be free, according to the ideas of Walker, Kinney & Co., at present. What is to become of Kinney and his seven- teen warriors, provided they escape from the perils of the sea, and finally arrive at the pro- mised land? They have not force enough to take possession of the land which they allege has been granted to them, and the Walker ex- pedition has been so ignonimously defeated that the men who engaged in it cannot provide food and raiment for themselves, to say nothing about the impossibility of their being able to afford any assistance to their brothers in arms. It really seems that their case is a hopeless one, and that they will do well if they escape with their lives. 5 All there things teach a good lesson, but we fear that it will not be heeded. There are many euch restless spirits as Walker in our country; and although we may admire their pereeverance and gaflantry, we cannot but re. gret that it is not exercised for better objects. Ever since the middle of the sixteenth century the Central and South American sections of this continent have been the theatre of filibas tering expeditions set on foot by Northera adventurers. In almost every instance these forays have ended disastrously. Recent events show that nothing better can be hoped for the fature, and the fate of Walker and Lopez should be a warning for all who may hereafter be tempted to follow their example. Tue Know NoruiwnG Movement in Cavtror- nta.—When there is a freshet in the Mississippi, all the driftwood along both shores is again put afloat, covering the surface of the stream. So, when there is a rise in the political waters, in the organization of some new and promising party, all the statesmen and politicians left high and dry by the receding waves of the old parties as they run oul, and all the outeiders ambitious of the spoils, are absorbed into the thovement. We sec this fact strikingly illus- trated in the extraordinary Know Nothing movement in every quarter of the Union; but its effects in California, in the resuscitation of emigrant politicians supposed to be defunct, is most remarkable. Look at the list of these great guns at a late grand mass meeting of the American party at Sacramento City. Gon. H. S. Foote was there, a veritable Know Nothing, late democratic Senator from, and still later democratic Unjon Governor of Mississippi. Hon. E. C. Marshall was there, late democratic radical member of Congress; and Hon. Bailie Peyton, late whig ambassador to Chili; and a host of others, great and small, heretofore known as whigs and democrats. Such coalitions signify the work- ing of a great revolation of some sort, and they indicate, too, the drift of the popular current. though they thought the figure stiff, and it was #0; and Qow they will pay two millions and a worth $10,000 will pay $120 towards sapport- ing the city government, and the sum will not be cd for again.

We must have a Geaxp Nationan Converrion or THe AME- nicAN Proresrant Association.—For several days past the American Protestant Association— & secret society, of a politico religious type— bave been holding, with closed-doors, a national convention in this city. But notwithstanding the fact that all reporters are excladed, we have managed to give, for the information‘ of our readers, a pretty accurate report of the pro- ceedings of this mysterious gathering, from day to day, much to the surprise and indignation of some of the members of the society. In this connection, Mr. Hill, of Philadelphia, fairly lets the cat out of the bag. He eays that Archbishop Hughes carries the Heratp in his breeches pocket. This shows that both the Archbishop and the Hznaup are very closely watched; for we had supposed that he carried the Heratp in his hat, folded together with the Freeman’s Journal, But, worse than all, it appears that the enterprising Archbishop has “bought up James Gordon Bennett lately,’’ which accounts for the milk in the cocoanut, or, rather, for the Henatp being found in the breeches pocket’ of the Archbishop, which is pretty much the same thing. Had not Senator Brooks better look into this business? Let him examine the real estate schedule of the Arch- bishop; for if he has bought up the Herat, rely upon,it that he has had to selka considera ble list of his corner stores, town lots, and other church property.

It is purely a league against the Pope, his hierarchy acd his church, and seems to be composed, to a considerable extent, of veritable The connection with this society of some of our leading Know Nothings, would lead to the conclusion that the native is not so strong with them as the anti-Catholic test.

Important Interview Between Lord Palmerston end Mr- Buchanan—Lord Clarendon’s Speech Interpretea—The Cuban Question, de , dc. Lord Palmerston has solicited and obtained inter- view, purely of privete character, with cur minister, Mr. Buchanan. These private interviews are readily un- derstood, between high official functionaries, as mesning more than the formal interviews of ordinary business character, which can at all times be obtained by the minister resident. It was the expressed wish of his lord- ship to see Mr. Buchanan at his private residence, at the hour convenient to himself, as also the day, with a de- sire expressed to make the time as early as possible. At three o’clock on the same day, an unusual scene pre- sented itself—of a Prime Minister of Great Britain, un- attended, and on foot ringing the bellat an American Minister’s residence, and asking for admission to his Presence. How can the particulars of that interview be told to more advantage than {s to be found in the ofi- cial letter of Mr. Buchanan to Secretary Marcy? I pro- pose to give the important points of said despatch. His lordship apologised for his request, but edied im extenuation, that her Britannic Majesty’s government bad received despatches from their ambassador at Washington, of a character that required some ez pla- mation, and which he trasted might not have given to them the air and importance of an official character by the American ambassador.” He observed thst it had given to himself and his collesgues serious uneasiness tolearn that the United States government had expressed. itaelf, through its Secretary of State, dissatisfied with the explanation that had been sent to it, on the subject of the speech made some mont ince by Lord Craren- don, when treating of the happy effects of the alliance, in the Houre of Lords, which had been formed between Great Britain and the government of France. He thought that the United States government would have required. nothing more on the subject from her Britannic Majesty's government, hed it not been for the speech of General Cass in the United States Senate, which had the eflect to excite passion throughout the country, Prejudicial to the harmony that should exist between the two nations, He also thought that much of the feeling of the American peenle, now drawn in favor of Russia in her war with penee grown out of this misunderstanding, and that tocall back the strong senti- mentof, kg rep kets had existed between the American people and the British nation was his first wish and the desire of her Britannic Majesty’s government. His lorcship then made the effort to exp! the real mean- ing of Clarendon in bis 4; and re-aseured Mr, Buchanan that it had an leoning atures to the United: States. the interview Mr, Buchanan raid he could not 1 ‘a6 & private one, and that be should feel it 2 duty to re- Present the statements made by his lordship to the Americen goverament. His lordship Temaried, that as such was intent‘on of Mr. Buchasan he could not feel at liverty to speak with him upon other ques:ions of bigh national interests that existed, but should have to leave them to take the usual course of action. From the closing remarks of Lord Palmerston, it is evident that the true and real object of his visit had not been approached, and that the explanations made by him relative to Lord Clarenion’s speech were but in- troductory to tome questions of importanse which his lorcebip was about to call to the atteation of Mr. Buchanan. This gentleman, with all his great abilities conceded to him, bas evidently made # serious diploma- tic blunder, and, indeed, itis remarkable that he could not have understood that eo unusual a visit could not have had in it a more important object than the mere reiteration of a statement that hai been so repeated! publicly andofiicially made to the United States.
