LATE FROM ENGLAND. By the ship South Carolina, Capt. Eas terby arrived on Saturday, we have Liver pool dates to the 14th June and London of the 11th. All appearances of hostilities between Russia and Turkey had passed away.— The Emperor Alexander had not left his capital, the middle of May, but was expec ted to set out shortly for Warsaw. On the 7th of June, the West India Trade Bill and the Colonialßills were read a thiid time in the House of Com mons and passed. British Stocks, Jllne.ll —5 per cent. Red. 78 7-8 9 1 B—4 pei cents 951-.8 14 — Cons, for acct. 80 3-8 1-2. Subscriptions and aids to a very large amount have been obtained in various parts of England for the distresed districts in 1 Ireland Five thousand pounds were receiv ed for them from the Opera fete under the patronage of his Majesty. —Ard considera bly more than this sum had been raised in Liverpool on thfe Mth June—of which more than 30001. had been forwarded to the different parts that were more especi ally in want. In the Court of King’s Bench a Suit was brought by tile Hon. Lady Bromley against the hundred ol Ossulston for the S recovery of damages for injury done to her house by the mob on the day ol the corona tion. It appeared in evidence, that, on (he morning of that day when preparations were making at the house for an illumina tion, a crowd of one hundred people or more threw stone and broke toe windows, so as to require 23 1 6s. ami 3 d. tor repaiis. The defendant’s attorney submitted it to the Jury, whether 4Z. 7s. & Sci. for a pane of plate glass, was a sum which th- hun dred oug!it to pay. The Lord Chief Justice said certainly. It would be too much for the injury of trade to say to tliu contrary, and discourage the use ol those ornaments which occasion the employment of so many hands. There would be no knowing where to stop if it were admitted that the costli ness of an article should be a reason why its owner should not be protected in the enjoyment and use ofil. A restraint might be laid down to the use of mere necessa ries,— Verdict for the plaintiff. It is now certain that the l urks have re possessed themselves of the important is land of Sico after great slaughter—a letter from Smyrna of the 17th April says, “1 am firmly of opinion that if the war be tween Russia and the Forte does not take place, the Turks will not be long in get ting buck all the islands. In the Morea. perhaps it will no( be such quick work, because the Greeks muster strong there, and they are in possession of the fortresses of Tripolizza, Navarn, &c. In Oandi.i the Greeks have no fortresses, but they have the mountains for their retreat” London, June 10. We received the Paris Papers of Friday last nig t, by express. They are barren of political intelligence, and nearly filled with discussions arising out ol the verification of the Election Re turns. The French Funds reported to have ris en on Thursday to 9 It". 10c. opened on Fri day at 9lf. and closed at 90f. 90c. No light is thrown on the cause of this de pression. Tiie following are cxtrrcts:— PARIS, June 7. The letters from Petersburg!! of the 16th May are all more and more pacific; they explain the delays with regard to a public determination by the necessity of waiting for the diplomatic answers of the most dis tant Cabinets. It will be remarked that this date of the 16th May is two days later than that of the Manifesto sent to the chan cery of the Vunstituliomiel—JjurnaL des Debats. The ( 'iamber of Deputies were occupi ed yesterday with the verification of tiie powers of the newly elected Deputies and their reception. To-day the election of five candidates for the Presidency is to {take place. | The Sieur Barbier Dufay, who has ae- Iquired an unfortunate celebrity, was ar rested on Tuesday, and conveyed to ttie j Prefecture of Police, in consequence of an event which presents very serious circum. stances. “The following is the relation : •‘Last Tuesday,about 5 in the afternoon, an individual attempted to bathe in the j Seine, near the Pont des Arts. The gen .d’arme on thej station endeavoured to pre vent hnn, and the individual grossly insul ated him. The gendarme was ahout to ar jresthim, when the Sieur Barbier Dufay approached, took the part of his friend, and most outrageously insulted the gengur o.ie. The noise attracted to be neighbouring post, who seized the two disturbers, and conveyed them to the Prefecture. The ! Sieur “Dufay was placed in the Salle Saint {Martin, where his rage'exh&usted itself in invectives; and his violence extended it self so far as to break every thing that was within his reach. During the proceedings . it was discovered that he wore a poignard from 12 to 13 inches long, richly mounted. “Phe geud’artnes having again seized him, dragged him to the Grand Depot, where they were obliged to employ tne most effi cacious and severe means to secure him. “ Nearly two hours after the arrest of the Sieur Dufay and his friend, a fiacre, which had been waiting since the morning, brought to the Prefecture two swords, a liati arid a riding coat, which they had left in it The coachman declared that in the morn ing he had conveyed to the Buis de Bou logne three individuals, aud that he had brought back bat two.” We received iast night papers < to the 28th of May, Hamburgh papers to the sth of June, Brussels papers to the Bth I of June. The Madrid papers contain a variety of details respecting the distqrbances in the North. It appears now to be plsiCed be j’ond doobt that this insurrection is nearly altogether the work of the priests, many ot whom have been found fighting in the In surgent ranks. We cannot help think ing it rather a favourable circumstance tor the constitutionalists, that other partisans of (he Inquisition and ecclesiastical op pression should have so completely un marked themselves. It is better to have to do with a known enemy than a hollow friend. Paris, June 6. The King yesterday presided at a Coun cil of M blisters. His M ijesty has appoin ted Monday next the 10th, for the remo val of the Court St. Cloud.

In the Chamber of Deputies the nine Bureaux were chosen bv Ballot. “Thirty young men, arrested in conse quence of the disturbances on Monday, were set at liberty on Tuesday and yester day Others are still at the Prefecture yd the Police. “A violent shock of an earthquake was felt at Nantes on the 31st ult. and also at Angers, Nivel and Tours. “The Journals of Naples to the 21st May make uo mention of the constitution al regime in the two kingdoms. ‘ Schaffhelsen, May 28- ‘•Sir Thomas Maitland, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, has arrived in Turgovia, where he has means to stay sometime, lie intends to pass the -uminer in Switzeiland, and not to return to Corfu till autumn, unless special cir cumstances should render his presence in dispensible. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.. . “Nuembebo, May 31. The last letters from Vienna oring some modification of the intelligence published by The Austrian Observer and other Jour nals respecting tne entire evacuation by the Turks of Moldavia and Wallachia. ‘•lt is stated that the Porte will main tain in these two principalities a number of troops equal to these, consisting of A monnuts, which the Hnspodaishad in their pay before the disturbances which broke out in the spring of 1821. Only the Asi atic hordes will be compeMed to pass the Danube to proced ta an ulterior destina tion “It is said that Chourschid Pac'>a, in order to extricate himself from his critical situation, had set on font negociations with the Chiefs of the Suilotest, but without suc cess, “There is a confused report of disturban ces having taken place at Constantinople, upon tlie Janissaries learning that there was an intention to evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia. It is added, that in a tu mult the Grand Vizier was in danger of losing his life. The accounts, however, want confirmation. “ODESSA, May 12. According to Ihe accounts from Con stantinople of the 7th, nothing was official ly known respecting the new declaration of the Porte acceding to the jnst demands of Russia* The Reis Effudi perhaps trembles for his head, and cannot without the consent of the Divan make such a con cession, which is contrary to his written declaration. The future will shew what credit is to be given to his verbal announ cement ot the 18th April. Shortly previ ous to the note of the 28 February the Reis Eftendi declared to Lord Strangford, that the Porte would immediately give a satis factory answer, and two days afterwards appeared a declaration of a directly oppo site character. In that ol the 18th April the Porte still seeks to elude the question, it explains nothing, ami the Reis Eftendi announces only verbally, that the order for the evacuation of the Principalities had been tfiven. What are we to think of these subterfuges? Are thev worthy of a great Empire? Are they net rather an of fence against foreign Courts? “Frontiers of MALDAviA.TVIay 16. “It is said that there will remain at Jas sy and at the Bucharest from 1200 to 1800 men, until the Hospodars appointed by the Porte are formally installed. The Turks are also making preparations for departure at Krajaiva, in little Wallachia. - “Pf.tersburgh, May 10. “The Grand Duke Nicholas set out from hence in the night of the 3d for the corps d’armee stationed in the Duchy of Lithuania. The Grand Dnke Michael proceeded on the 20th April to Askow. Corunna, May 18. The Diario Constitutional of this city •contains very long official accounts of the defeat of the Insurgents,‘fcOßimuriticated by the Political Chief of Dieuse. The num ber of killed he states to be 500, among whom are four parish priests and three monks. The troops lost holy one killed and one slightly wounded, but it was fear ed the Insurgents had put to death an offi cer and four soldiers whom they had laker, prisoners. The greatest tranquility, says the Political Chief, reigns in the whole province. To-day, an alarming sermon was preached here; l promise you another shall not be preached. The despatch signed by Don Camlllo Marquina, commanding the forces ol ()r ----ense, dated Santa Christena de Bdeija, May 15, states, that the number of the in surgents who had assembled on the Banks of the Minho, was (join 500 to 700, who • were totally beaten and dispersed after ■ three hours lighting, leaving a great num • ber of dead; among them were observed priests and friars wearing the habits ot their order. Lotca, May 18. The loyal and peaceful inhabitants of ■ this city are filled with giief by the ac- F counts of the sitting <>f the Cortes ol the 7th, Bth and 9th instant, on the motion to , prosecute thei Constitutional Muricipali . .ty(whom they highly respect for their pat i lOtism and virtue) on accent of die unhap jpy ‘events of the 30th April, which were represented ir. colours very fir from the truth. Madrid, May 25. i The Minister of Grace and Justice has ; addressed a circular to the Episcopal Cler gy of Barcelona, Tarragona, Lerida, Gc , rona, Tortosa, Vicli, Urge I and Solsona, which says—“By the despatches ot the Po litical Chief of Barcelona, his M: jesty i has learned widi equal surjnise and grief, that some ministeis of the God ol Peace, instead of recommending it by their lan guage and example, have taken ar active and direct part in the criminal insu: rec tion in those provinces. This abominable conduct can only be the produce of inve terate fanaticism;, which must be roofed out, or at least its destructive i-ftuence must he neutralised, since this js absolute ly necessary to the nwisulidti'iori of the Constitutional system.” The circular then proceeds to enjoin them to publish immediately the energe tic pastoral letters, enjoining obedience to the Constitution and the laws explaining (lie advantages of it, and its entire confor mity with the catholic religion; they are to combat the sophisms and errors directed against the present system, to shew that resistance to the government is contrary to the Gospel; they are to instruct all the inferior Clergy to exert themselves to the same effect. His Majesty will afford all the assistance that they may need, and will consider this as the most important service, as the tranquility of the State en tirely depends on it; but if, contrary to ex pectation, there should be any opposition; dilatorincss nr coolness in the execution of these orders his Majesty will adopt those measures which he is authorised to do by the Constitution, and which the im portance of the rasp may require. ‘Frontiers of Moldavia, May 2f) Since the return of M.de TatischieiFtn Peter,burgh, the arrival of the Emperor at the army has been daily looked fur. Pre parations arc already made to receive his Majesty at the head quarters ot the two great armies, the Lithuanian Coips, the imperial Guards, and in Bessarabia his (Majesty will inspect the Guards. When the review is finished, his Majesty will go to Warsaw. Accounts from Servia say, that great agitation prevails there, and that the Servians will t.ot submit to be disarm ed.

The reports in circulation respecting some advantages having been gained by the Grecian over the Turkish fleet, are strengthened by a private letter received from Vienna, dated 25th of May. In that capital the accnts of anaval action oft* Scio, on the Ist May, had been received from two distinct quarters. On the 16th Maya vessel had arrived at Trieste from Corfu in 5 days, which brought the infor mation that the Greeks h*d gained such success over the Turks, that the fleet of the latter had been compelled to retire to the Dardanelles. These news were brought to Corfu on the lithe May by an English ship. A letter received at Vienna from O dessa, dated the 10th May, mention that a ship had arrived in 3 days from Constanti nople, where it was known that their fleet had been beaten on the Ist May, off Scio, by that of the Greeks, and that the Sultan had ordered the Sciot hostages to be stran gled as soon as the information was recei ved. London, Jlorn. Chron. NEW YORK, July 16.
