l'fthndland, encountered icebergs and
field ice, which sho was oigiit houis in
pacing. An intelligent passenger informs
ns that he lieaid the fog-bell before breakfast
on Tuesday, which was llie first fog
they had been in ; and that soon after,
when it had dispersed, an iceberg was
seen about a mile to llie southward, and
they slacked headway 'and proceeded at
the rate 9! a1>out five miles"per hour. At
one time eleven were counted, 0110 of ilium
' f sueh dimensions, th'ftl, at: a distance of
four miles, i'.s peak was in a range with
the masts Of an American Clipper, midway
between the iceberg and steamer. On
the departure of the Asia, the Pacific had
been, out only seventeen days, so that
news'of her may still be looked for. The
Persia, which sailed three days afterwards,
encountered icebergs and iieul ice, and
had a number of her paddle-buckets carried
away in the collision.
The Asia brings presents, consisting of
plate, mod ids, tfce., for the ollicers and
crew of the K ino Arctic expedition. J

IXot'se of Commons, Feb'y 8.?Mr. s
Cohdon asked Lord Palmerston for sonic r
explanation for the no i-production of the c
correspondence respecting our relations to v
the Government of tho I'uited States, 1
concerning the two questions in dispute?
thr first relating to Central America, and '
the other to enlistment. In the former c
subject the noble Lord had stated that the '
eoirospondenco was not completed; but
it was completed, for Lord Clarendon had '
said so, and it had been laid before the r
I'nitod Slates Senate. IIu then referred ^
to the order** givfeii to ntWmpt to'obtain '
rxruilsin the L'nitcd States,'and said'lie 1
should like to know who had suggested c
that scheme. Xo correspondence had *
been published on this subject, either in "
th's country or in America; but it was 1
understood that an apology and an amend 1
had Leen made. llo was told that after j'

vrcre nllowod to ]?a discussed in the ^
House of Co'iqmotu, lie was sure *om>- *
way would bVfound of settling the Jitli r
ettlty. At nil event's,'he' was certain there ''
was danger in the secret diplomacy which ''
had been going on in lb* Foreign office re
luting to 'his matter. There would bo no }*
<1 mger of a collision with the United ?
States, if the question were left to this *
House. If there was unhuppi.y a war 11
between the two countries, it would be "
owing to the secrecy of diplomacy, mid 'J
tiro osasperation of the press. r<
' Lor J Palmorston, after describing the
(TiflUultic* which existed in consequence j1
of thb different interpretation put np >n the "
I'ulwer Clayton treaty by the two govern P
incuts, said thiscouutry had offered to re ''
for the question to arbitration, but to thi> "
otfor no answer has yet been received.?
'Phis was the present state of tho question, s
mid on considetation he had no objection '*
to produce the correspondence, though it "
was not yet completed. Referring to the ^
differences to the enlistment question, lie a
stated that her Miyesty's (loverinr.ent had 0i

his g-auirn.-riL would also bu Mfttis- *

quently renewed, and the correspondence rt
re opened. Three days Itcfore Parliament
nrt>t, ho theught lie should have been able
to'lay the'correspondence upon the table, l'
but tlio very day beforo Parliament met,
the American Minister presented Lord ^
Clarendon with a farther despatch, exceedingly
voluminous, reciting a variety st
of circumstances which Lord Clarendon ?
had not"the moans of answering, without I*
referring to our Minister at Washington *

this way* If the correspondence were pro- *A
dficed now it would end with this long

44 We expect to hear every day that our

of course, will compuH similar proceedings

representing the Governments at Washington

sacli other on the Atlantic. After dc.1

44 A good deal of pardonable irritation
lias been felt here that the sympathies of
a republican people should have been so
unaccountably manifested during the present

And if the people of the l uited States
permit their rulers to plunge them into a
