LATEST ENGLISH INTELLIGENCE.

[We have received, via Sydney, a New Zealand Journal of the 29th of March, contaijning an abstract of the debate in the House of Commons on the 18th of March, onl the Stanley " breach of faith" question ; alsjo the City Petition to the House of Commons on New Zealand affairs, praying for decisive measures to ensure good government for the future, and to confirm to the Company a clear title to the lands recommended by the Committee to be given to it, together with compensation for the losses which it has bee.i made to, sustain ; both of which appear in our paper of to-day.

The Sydney papers contain English news to the 14lh of April, received via Launceston. The most important intelligence is the probability of a war with America ; but for the present we can only find room for a short paragraph from the Australian : —

" The most striking topic which presents itself is the tone that has been assumed by the Government of the country in regard to the Message of the President of the United States. The unqualified assertion of the right to the disputed Oregon territory, which is contained in that document, has called forth replies which it is more than probable will kindle the flame of War between the two countries. On an explanation being asked from the Government, in the! House of Lords by the Marquis of Clanricarrile, and in the Commons by Lord John Russell* as to the conduct intended to be pursued wittj regard to that message, both Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen expressly declared that the right to the disputed territory could not be conceded i[to the American Government; and although an amicable adjustment of the question was' to be hoped for, that still Great Britain was prepared to maintain and defend her right."

"W e have received Sydney papers to the 18th of August, but are unable to notice their contents this week. The Herald of August 2d, in acknowledging the receipt of our' paper to the 12th July, says, " Nelson appears the most prosperous, or perhaps we should say the least unprosperous, of any of the New Zealand settlements. There are fewer natives in the southern than in the northern island, which is probably the cause why the Nelson settlers remain almost entirely unmolested by them."
