Lord Palmerston on the subject of the protracted blockade of Buenos Ayres by the French squadron ; and we understand his Lord- thiP to have communicated to the party the fact, that negotiations for the settlement of this business are going on, and that the French Admi- ral, M. .Duportail, who sailed in October last, had special orders to treat with the British authorities without reference to M. Martinez, the French Consul.—Morning Post.
The British residents at Havannah have long been desirous of hav- ing the benefit of the services of an English Chaplain at that place; and, in order to carry their object into execution, have communicated with Lord Palmerston, urging his Lordship to use his influence with the Court of Spain that this privilege might be granted to them. A correspondence has, in consequence, taken place between the British and Spanish Governments, the result of which is, that the Court of Spain will not allow "a British Protestant place of worship to be esta- blished at the Havannab."—Standard.
