We have full files from London to the
3d, and Liverpool to the 4th inst. -The
news will be found highly interesting and
important. The aspect of financial and
commercial affairs is decidedly more favor
able than was generally anticipated, as
will be seen by reference o the state .of
the markets.
Foremost in importance is the intelli
gence of the appointment of Lord Ast
buiton as a special Minister to the Unied
States, for the purpose of 'Intering into
negotiations for the final settlemient of all
ditliculties between the two countries.
The repudiation doctrines, about which
somuch bis been said in this eountry,
caused no excitement whatever in London.
The papers scarcely allude to the subject
at all,
The Message of President Tyler had
Lpen received and read with much inter
est and satisfaction. Its pacific tone
caused immense rise in the funds.
The news from Turkey and the East
indicate further disturbances. There has
been a change of Ministry at Constantino
ple.
The French Chambers were opened by
a speech from itia King on the 27th ut.
Every thing was quiet at Pari-s. and the
reduction of the army was progressssng.
