The Globo ofthe Bth says:—The ar rival of the West Chester from New York, whence she sailed on the lGt'i February, brings certain information that the Congress of the United States, by the large majority of 103 against 68, had voted in favor of the report on tin M’Leod affair, which was calculated t< excite hostilit es with England. The subject being thus taken up by Con gress, the government must of course act in confirmity with the will ofthe majority, and therefore the chance of seeing acts of the inferior jurisdiction of the -tate of New York overruled by the General government no longer ex ists. . It makes the danger of a collision more imminent than it was before. Our citizens, viewing it in this light, have shown a mDch greater degree of ala regarding the question this raornii w . than they did on the receipt of tho pre vious communication; and stocks fell 3-8 or 1-2 per cent, immediately after the opening of business.

He don’t succeed as well ri» the Saint did in bis labours among the serpents, for the Irish man, extirpated the scouudrels from the lovely land of bis adoption,.whereas Mr. Calhoun, after exhausting all his powers of : description in- depicting their vene- moua qualities, has at last very cosily itken the whole brood to his bosom- even those which'had bitten him worst. ihe coast of America, to support the monstrances of the British Minister, Mr. Fox, against the ‘judicial murder of Mo- Lcod.’ - / : /. *' ' ' ■ The Times also states, that ‘three bat talions had been pul suddenly under orders for Halifax,* and adds, ‘God knows how the home service of the realm could be furnished after their departure.’ The Atlas says, ‘War with America must and will as surely follow upon the murder of M’Uetkl, as the light of morn ing follows the darkness of night; but then this warwill -be a war without any definite object,* except revenge for injury which cariUot be atoned.’ The news from the Continent we find of very little interest.
