Mr. Wiiliam Moore, passenger, ¢ied om the 10th, on the Voyage of the Baltic to Liverpool. ‘The Afrioa arrived at Liverpool 8:5 morning of Monday the 18ih u t. ‘The Peace Conferences were to open on the 234 ult. All the envoys had arrivea at Paris, Confidence in the re- establishment of peace continues. The excitement respecting the American difficulties was not so great, A large force of British troops is to be con- centrated at Canada an & Palmerston bravado, Mr. Sadlier, M. P., for Sligo, Ireland, had committed suicide near Hampstead, Loudon, by awallowing a dose of *eusential oil of bitter almonds. It appears that Mr. Sad- Hier left his house (No. 11 Gloucester square, Hyde Park, ) about haif-past eleven o’clock on Saturday night, 16th ult., and nothing further had been ascertained rerpec:- ing his moveme: ‘The cause of the rash act is ascribed to his having become heavily involved by losses and lia- vilities which he was utterly unable to mect. He was connected with numberless undertakings of various kinds, his acceptances have been numerous, and seeking dis count at extremely high rates. His losses have besn very considerable; and, besides the entare loss of his own pri- vate property, amounting rome time back to above £200,- 000, there 1s reason to fear that he nas added besides a very heavy amount to his liabiliy. The London Standard of Yebruary 19 has the follow- ipg:—The Paria papers of yesterday are destitute of in- terest, nor do we expect that they will be otherwise until the meeting of the allied conference shall take place, when, as far as permissible, the publication of the proceedings of that high diplomatis assembly will give to the columns of our foreign contemporaries an import- ance which they have seldom if ever before obtained. Count Orloff arrived at Brussels on Sunday night, from St. Petersburg, on his way to Paris, which ho 1s expected to reach this evening (Tuesday), or to-morrow, the de- lay being caused by the Count wishing to have an inter- view with the King of the Belgians previous to his de- parture. The corn markets in Paris aud the provinces have, during the past week, been rather brisk, at an advance ia prices. Letters from Hamburg announce a ministerial crisis et Hanover, occasioned by putting in force the constitution of 1840, in Heu of that of 1849. Several members of the government had given in their resignations. A letter from Vienna of the 13th ultimo, says:—Our young Empress yesterday met with an accident, but for- tunetely it was not attended with any serfous conse- quences. The spring of her Majesty’s carriage broke while she was taking an siting, and she was compelled to alight and return to the palace in @ private carriage which happened to pass at the moment. This is the cond accident of the kind that has happened to the Em- pres, and the Emperor has ordered the person to whose negligence it is attributed to be severely punished. Despatches from St, Petersburg of the 17th ultimo, say tho tendensics at St. Petersburg are completely French. M. de Fonton takes the place at Vienna of Prince Gortschakoff, who has left the Austrian capital on leave of absence. Advices from Vienna of the 12th ult., in the Wurtavurg Gazette, say:— The question relative to the foreign troops who are in Turkey will not be decided until atter the definitive con- clusion of ; but it is certain that the Western Powers Austria are agreed as to the necessity of a prolonged military occupation of the Turkish provinces, without which occupation the contemplated reforms can- not be carried into ¢xecntion. Anstria will conse uent! keep a gertivon in the Principalities, and tho alites wilt continue to occupy Constantinople, Gallipoli, Adriaaople, Varna, Trebizonde and lizeroum. Russia will noi take any part in the occupation of the Turkish territory. The cabinet of St. Petersburg has not allowed the in- terval between the acceptance of the Austrian propost- tions and the opening of the conferences at Paris to poss over without profising by it. It has addressed « circular despatch to all the Russian diplomatic agents abroad. ‘The moderate and pacific tone of this despatch allows of the hope that the Russian Plenipotentiaries will be well disposed towards concessions at the conferonces; at least such is the opinion entertained in diplomatic circles here, The Russian Chancellor, in insisting on the im- portance of the concessions hitherto made by Russia, speaks also of the fifth point, and allows it to be seen that Russia would not consent to any other cession of territory, or to pay any indemnity for the war. An English company had been formed to work the iron mines of Nova Scotia, to be called the Acadian Iron Company, with a capital of £200,000, in £5 shares, Among the direc:ors are persons connected with the trade of Shefiield. ‘The bark Proteus, of Shelburne, N.S., Captain Hard- ing, from Liverpool to Jamaica, with a general cargo, strack on the Blackwater bank, coast of Ireland, Feb. 12th, and went to pleces; the master and eleven men were saved snd one drowned. The mate got adrift ina boat and has not since been heard of. Ship Asterian, Captain Gay, from New Orieans, arrived at Liverpool on the 16th ult. On overhauling the ship the customs searchers found a mulatto girl concealed in the boatewain’s bunk, where she had been secreted during the voyage, unknown to any one on board except- ing the boatswain. A reward of $600 was offered at New Orleans for the girl’s apprehension. She is now at Liver- pool. Letters from Batoum of January 24 state that the Ta- nislan troops in Asia had suffered much from the effects of ctimate, and were reduced to one-fourth of their origi- nal numbers. It ix proposed to send the remainder back to Tunis, Omer Pasha has 32,000 men with him at Ite- dont Kale. Advices via Viepna mention a meeting between the Turks and Russians on the Sth of January, near Zugdi- dl, Six battalions surprised a battallion of Turks. The Turks retreated leaving ton guon and all their baggage, and the Russians burned the Pasha’s palace and several villages. Milligan, Evans & Co. quote sales of cotton for three days, 26,000 baler.

I! ts seldom that a speech delivered in the British House ci Commons haa received so much attention on this aide the channel as that of Mr. Roebuck on the relations of the United States and Great Britain, Paragraph by paragrapd, and bit by bit, that gentle- wan’s phrases and allegations have been commented on and analyzed with that searching curiosity which might almost be taken for desiri, of fincing out a causus belli for two nations, whose respective maritime supremacy France, perhaps, would not be sorry to see absorbed by oilision, The conclnsicn, however, which seems to have been arrived at pretty unanimously is, that just at pre- sent the Anglo-Saxon race has no idea of playing the game of despotism by evgaging in an international quar- zel. M, Guizot is reported to have said to a small coterie of familiars Jast night:—'‘The Anglo-Saxons are the de- positories of liberty, When all her champions are driven to hide themselven in desert places, and cat the cud of bitterness in secret, her true soldiers will be found at cach extremity of the Atlantic. The race fools its sa- cred mission, and will not disparage it by causeiees quar- rel. This misunderstanding will pass away, Mutual ex planations can bemade, That the time will come when the comipating tofluence of the mother country on the cons will cause intense jealousy to the United States, and bring about a collision, is very possible, but forty years must pass away before the old story of Rome and Car- thage is repeated.” I do not vouch for the accuracy of this story further than that a gentleman assured me he was prosent when the great ex-Minister uttered these remarks. Certain it is that expressions very similar have been generaliy prevalent in all diplomatte and political circles during the last twenty-four hours, The hotel of the British Embassy, on Thursday night, being that of Lady Cowiey’s reception, was thropged to overflowing, ia tao hope of seeing Jord Clarendon and seme of the distinguished picnipoientiaries who are to take part in the all-important conferences. The guests, in this respoct, wore, however, disappointed. Lord Clarendon only reached Paris on Saturday evening, and the great ministers and functionaries who are to act in conjunction with him, although in Paris, reserved their visit to the Kmbassy til Lord Cowley (who was in Eng- land with Lord Clarendon) should return. The grand meeting will not, therefore, take place till Thursday next. Already a feverish excitement ia observable, Duriog Sunday, at the Tuileries, when the British Plenipoten tary bad been conducted in great form to be personally presented to the Emperor, the subject of the Conference was on every one’s tongue. ‘The fact of England being known as the only Powor prepared to throw any obstacle in the way of peaseful solution—of the grim distrust which is known to prevall among the English people lest their honor and interests shoud be betrayed—of there Ueing a latent that the boasted good faith of Napoleon is open to suspiefon—of some Hight jealous straws having been more than once observable during the last month—gives immense importance to Lord Cla- rendon’s visit. At the palace, on Sunday, surrounded by & crowd of courtiers, his lightest expressions were caught up, weighed, sifted and scanned, as if the fate of the world depenced upon them. The French are so mercu- rial that they will never leave off supposing that a 4i- plomatist cannot be natural, even when he eats his breakfast or washes his. hands; and to suppow him speaking words of commonplace to # minister, without s diplomatic insinuation, would be to abhorrent to all previous precedent. The British earl, who now 1s the cynosure of all eyes, is tall, elegant looking man of 56 years of age, H wears aboute him an air of Jassitude, but of extreme courtesy. His forehead is not high, but broad, and in everything he utters there is a Zraceful poizt, without being exactly epigramatic. He i » man who has hitherto always risen to the occa- sion whenever called upon. Without any extraordinary acquirements, his mind is well stored, and his perceptions on all matters are based on good common sense. He speaks French with no apparent accent, and his choice ot words is singularly happy. Moreover, he has one grand desideratum for a negotiator—his temper cannot be raffied fora moment. Lord Palmerston considers him to pessers talents of the highest class, Altogether, with the Prime Minister to refer to, by telegraph, on the slight- est difficulty, and this Prime Minister the most wary diplomatist of the dey, England cannot complain, if she fall in her wishes, that she was not adequately repre- sented. It is thonght that Russia is determined on having peace, if by any posstbility the thing can be amicably arranged. ‘The assurance of gocd will she has received in private fiom France, will, it is supposed, induce her to waive many claims she might otherwise have asserted. The Emperor's advice ix, “Give Fngland no reasonable cause for being diveatisfied, and I answer for the rest. I must be true to my engagements. All Christendom would ery shame upon me were I not #0; but {do not waat to nee the Continent on fire, and thos add immoeagura- bly to Eng'and’s predominance.” Russia, theretore, it is declared. will make pesce, and “ bide her time.”” Meanwhile the Bourse speculations are incessant. As was the riso in securities on receipt of the news touch. ing Russia's acceptance of the Austrian propositions, when the three per cents gradually worked up from 6% to 74, wo it in thought will be tne increased confidence after'the Conference shall have saat. In 1852, after the coup delat of December, 1861, the same securities reached to 86, and should be declared it in thought a simi.

But as it appeared the claim was not for bona fide operations, but for more time bargains about sesurities which the partien did not actually porsess, and woich, though nominally purchased, were not moant to be deli: vered, the tribunal decided that the plaintiffs could not recover, and aismissed the action with conts.

But, if there be any ore thing more than anothe which is calculated to throw serious doubts upon the tuna fide nature of these specific prospects, it is the almost incomprehensible conduct of Prussia and of the Germanic Confederation. these Towers deport themselves in a mannec which justifies the conclusion that they feel by no means essy asto the pacifie issue of the Paris Conferences. They toake xo efforts to be represented at these conferences; they even declire to adopt what Russia has accepted, viz; tke five points of the Avstrian ultimatum. The Austrian tilde to this effect were simply referred to the committees cftbe Federal Assembly at #ranktort,a few days ago; and we learn that this wine body of German legislators thought proper to abstain trom all discussion thereon, which looes very much like a tacit rejection. It appears to be a fixed principle with the German States to content ‘hemeelves by giving their ‘moral’ support. to Austria's policy in the Oriental question, but nothing. more. They bave no objection to let Austria set her: np ase champion of German interests, provited she does #0 at ber own cost and upon her own sibility. Sab- ject to these conditions, Austria ia welcome to fight Ger- many’s barties in the Vast; and if she can obtain the free Bavigation cf the Danube ay ee and such other similar advantages for the benefit of Europe at large, and of Germany in particular, well and good, rus- tia and the rest of the tedetal States will then condescend ‘to accept these bcons at the bands of Austria.

The Anglo American Dificulty--The Paris Conferencea—Fha Povition of Prussia and the Confederation—The Present- Politwal Situation Likely to Add to Napoleon's Beputa- ion for Statesmanship—Affairs in Rome, dc., &c. ‘The Queen’s speech not containing any allusiom to toe relations now existing batween the United States ami Great Britain, and the President's message mot being |» ceived by the Houso of Representatives, all appreboc- sion of war between the two countries seems to be re- moved in the eyes of Europeans. For it is im vain for the diplowatic representatives of the United States to shrug their shoulders and look mysterious, (wise they caamot lock, for reasons known to the work, if not to them- retves); the governments of Europe look upon them ae the perscnal repreventatives of an unpopular President, who, in addition to his want of popularity, lacks diguity and judgment, to be elther respected or feared. In view of the approaching peace, which is now no longer « che- risbed hope, but almost a certainty, (whether that peses will be of long or short duration,) the difficulty with the United States is looked upon as comparatively unimpor- tant to the general issue; for even rf war were to ensea, the immediate condition of Russia would not be improved by it, and peace between her and the Northern Powers would nevertheless result from the present attitude of the States of Europe, all cf which seem to be untted sgainst the growing power of the Northern colossus, There will be peace, you may rely on it—a ‘peace not indeed made with a good heart on either ride, and whieh will certainly be followed by new complications; but, neverthelers, a peace which will allow parties to gather new strength to be used at a future day, and to repair, ine measure, the dameger done by the war. Parties will remain armed, armies and navies will becompleted, ana yemain on a war footing, and the materiel will be increas- ed, not diminished, on al) hauds. In this attitude, Eag- land will not stand on a punctilio with the United States.

There {s nothing in the Central American question, (f our government will press it with dignity and support it by such able and statesmaniike ar uments as Mr. Maroy can furnish; but there is much in the enlistment ques. tion, on which there haa been much unneceasary and un. dignified bullying by a branch of the government whigh was least justified m pursuing that course, from the fast that it addressed itself directly to the publis and thereby to popular pas:ion, without affording the opponent ang chance to explain except through the samo organs of popular sentiment, Mr. Attorney General Cushing may have done right, and no doubt was right, in a legal polat of view, in all he did and required the efficers under him * to do; but that the manner in which he discharged his duty was unnecessarily rude and offensive, is gensrally conceded cn this side of the water, if it is not on our side, This procegding on the part of Mr. Pierce was what di- piomatists would eall peu habile, but what no doubt was considered by him a capital political move, and might have well answered for the latitude of New Hampshire, theogh its effect on the whole country and on Engleed bo- evidently been miscalculated. \s far aa England is bound to protect her Minlater, abe will do it, and this the more #o ss her navy and army have had but ilttle scope for profitable action thus far, having scarcely earned a succes destine either in the Crimen or the Baltic, England, you may rely on it, wouid willingly apend forty millions sterling and sacrifies another army of 40,000 men in 1866, if by that means she could secure as much national xenown as France ‘has earned in the war against Russia. For the first time for a long series of years, ahe is in a position of « strong man who han his courage or his skill donbted, and who may do a foolish thing simply because the world thinks him incapable of doiug it. I mention this cartainly not by way of intimidation, (I know that such @ course would precisely produce the opposite effect) but moraly to show what unimportant things may lead to serious complica- tions, and what rulwtantial triumph may be achieved at Jittle cost. As regards our national honor, it might cer- tainly be satisfied if Kngiand were to surrender the pro- tectorate of the Mosquito coast, adopt the Americam interpretation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and perhaps abandon ber settlements on the coast of Honduras. This would be a forced recognition of the Monroe doctrine worth all the apologies, in form, of Mr. Crampton, after the possibility of his again giving offence, has been removed; while the abating of the nuisance was eseuredly the best proof that its wrong was acknowledged by the evil doer. It is the form of the apology demanded which may be resisted, and this after acknowledging the wrong, and exhibiting a readinoss to make amends for it. Thave already mentioned in my last that the selection of Paris as the place where the negotlations of peace are to be conducted isa practical recognition of the politica preponderance of France. France, of all the belligereata, bas made the greatest sacrifices; and as she will gam ceither an agoession of territory, nor, indeed, any com pensation in money, it is clear that the political weight she has gained in the councils of Europe constitutes a) the reward she can claim at present.
