LATEST FROM ENGLAND ‘
The ship Ceres has arrived at Boston
from Liverpool in 40 days, and has brought
London dates of the 18th, and Liverpool
of the 20th of June, being four days later
than the intelligence received by the Nes
tor. We do not observe that the expecta
tions of peace having been finally settled
between Russia and Turkey, had been rea
lized, although, if what was so confidently
stated on this subject had been true, we
should have had some thing positive on the
subject by this conveyance. The latest
Vienna accounts are of the 2d ot June.-
They repeat the old story that “ the affairs
with Turkey may be regarded as arrang
ed.” But advicer from Leipsic, a day la
ter state, that “ the accounts from the
north are not pacific, and it is still believ
ed there will he war because it appears
inevitable.” Amidst these contradictory
statements, it is in vain even to conjecture
as to what may be the result.
The great anxiety of the King of France
to have peace preserved in Europe, is a
gain made manifest by his answer to the
address of the Chamber of Deputies on the
llthofJune. Adverting to the Turkish
question he remarked, “Peace, general
peace, the object of the wishes of Henry
IV it will perhaps not be permitted me to
behold. But have the satisfaction 1o an
nounce to the Chamber, that the accounts
which l have received are very favorable
to the maintenance of peace in the east,
and give me reason to expect the entire
re-establishment of peace there.” If these
expectations of Louis were well founded,
what reason Usd he to think that he should
never be permitted to behold a general
peace f The affairs of Russia and Turkey
once settled, the sword will have been re
turned to its scabbard throughout all parts
of Europe. The fact is, all is hope; expec
tation is abroad; and things have a favora
ble aspect; but there is nothing certain,
and much to tear.
The Emperor Alexander is stated to
have left St. Petersburg on the 23d of May
accompanied by three generals, to inspect
the new fortifications of Duneberg, whence
he was to proceed to Wiloa to review the
troops at that place. This, at all events
does not bear a pacific aspect.
France. — The French minister of Fi
nance had bronght forward his estimates
in the Chamber of Deputies for the ensu
ing year. The estimate of expenditure,
amounting to 91)0,473.503 fr. and the
Ways and Ileans, to 909,130,283 tr. giv
ing a surplus of 8,655,280 francs.
Spain —The accounts from Madrid, con
tained in Paris paperg, are of the Bth of
June. Some disturbances are stated to
have taken place in Valencia, in conse
quence of 70 or 80 artillerymen on duty
in the citadel, having raise'i a cry of “Long
ive the absolute King!” “Long live Elio,”
and “down with the Constitution.” These
incendiaries, however, were soon put
down by the citizens, assisted by the rest
of the troops. livother respects Spain en
joys tranquillity.
‘A Paris paper contains a letter from
Madrid, in which it is stated, that M. Mar
tii-iz de la Rosa, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, had publicly charged the French
government, with the insurrectionary pro
ceedings in the Peninsula,
Portugal. —On the Ist ot June, the Depu
ties ot Badia, who had been sometime in
Li-boti, presented a request to the Cortes,
that the expedition fitting out against that
province mightibe suspended till the mea
sure was further discussed. They urged,
that the sending out of troops would excite
great mistrust, and tend to shake the al
legiance of the inhabitants to the parent
state. A motion, however, for receiving
the memorial, was negatived by 80 to 43.
Great Britain. —The accounts from the
counties of Cork. Galway, Kerry and Mayo
represent the sufferings of the Irish to be as
great as ever.
The Colonial trade bill, and, the Ameri
can and West India trade bill, were read
a second time in the House of Commons on
the 17th of June, and committed for a
third reading the following day. On the
17th June. the Chancellor of (he Exche
quer gave notice, that in about a fortnight
he should be able to bring forward the bud
get, one item of which, he said, would be
an appropriation of 250,0001, to be applied
to the relief of Ireland, in promoting the
erection of public works.
The Marquis of Hertford died at his
house io Manchester square. He was
born in 1743, and is succeeded by his on
ly son, the Earl of Yarmouth. He was ad
vanced to the marquisate in 1795, and
was 79 years of age. He had been in a
declining state of health for upwards of
two years; but within the last ten days the
decay had been rapid—latterly his mem
ory appeared to be wholly gone. The pre
sent marquis succeeds to the vast wealth
as well as titles of the deceased. The en
tailed are estimated at little short
of 90,0001. per annum.

LONDON, JUNE 18.
We understand that Counts Martin-
engo an Flumburiari, and Dr. Rossi have
left Paris for this country, to lay the com
plaints of the lonian Islanders before the
Throne of the British Nation. Perhaps
they are by this time in the metropolis.
Consols for the Account were very
steady the whole of yesterday, notwith
standing warlike accounts, purported to
have been received from Odessa were bu-
sily circulated. The market opened at 80
1-2, and closed at that price, although in
the course of the day 5-8 were quoted.
The new Russian and Chili loans remain
steady at Saturday’s prices—in the latter
a good deal ot business was done. A let
ter from Odessa, dated 21st May states,
that the freedom of that port will certain
ly be continued another year at least.
Another letter, same date, has been re
ceived, in which it is asserted, that the
Turkish army was in motion, but that it
neither had, nor would retire fiom Mol
davia or Wallachia, according to the agree
ment at Constantinople and that the Rus
sian army Was in no situation to enforce
their demands on the Turkish Empire, be
ing without pay and clothing; ahd were
besides badly fed.
An Austrian Courier, arrived at Paris
June 12, gives no positive intelligence of
the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia,
and says nothing categorical, to afford rea
son to believe that war may not take place.
From Constantinople, the advices reach
down to the 15th May. The only topic of
interest upon which they treat is the evac
uation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the
Turkish troops.
LONDON, jane 17
The money market recovered in a con
siderable degree on Saturday from the de
pression which existed the day before in
consequence of the scarcity of money, and
•he investments which were made in for
eign securities Consols for the account
opened at 80-38; and as the rage for sell
ing seemed to have passed away, Consols
rose to 1-2, at which price the market clos
ed.
The London New Times, of the 18th
June, has the following :
” Letters were yesterday received in the
city direct from confirming the
distressing accounts which had previously
reached England byway of Genoa, of a
plague by which Algiers has been nearly
desolated. We lament tt say that the lat
ter accounts are even more disastrous
than the preceding. They state that in
calculable numbers of the inhabitants had
already fallen victims to thjs dreadful dis
ease; the survivors, as many of them as pos
sessed the means, had shut themseiver up
in their houses, all business was of course
at a stand, the streets were deserted,
and a silent horror pervaded the whole
town.”
The following are extracts of letters re
ceived by the Dutch and Flemish mails yes
terdsy.

ject of the present is to acquaint you that

Brute Sagacity —A circumstance was
related to us when a boy, by a person who,
like Cobbet was, once a sergeant in the ar
my, and which we never recollect to have
seen in print. This individual served at
onetime in Gibraltar. There are a good
many goats that scramble about within the
precincts of the garrison, and at one point
of the huge rock there is a goat road lead
ing down to the water’s edge. This imper
ceptible track, however, is so excessively
narrow,that only one goat can travel by it
at a time, while even a false step, or the
slightest attempt to run to the right or
the left, would infallibly precipitate the
bearded traveller from the top to the bot
tom. It happened that one goat was going
down while another happened to be ascen
ding the path, and the two meeting in the
middle, instinctively, and not without fear
and trembling, made a dead stop. To at
tempt to turn or step aside was instant
death; and although the topmost goat could
have easily pushed his brother out of the
way, he was two generous to ‘eke such an
advantage. At last, after deep cogitation
and much deliberation, they hit upon a
scheme which even man, with all his boas
ted wisdom, could out have surpas-ed;
that is, the one goat lay quiptly and cau
tiously dowD, on all fours, and allowed the
other to march over his body, to the great
delight of the persons who witnessed the
singular dilemma- > A

THE MAYOR’S EXPOSE, AND CITY TRESUUY’S RE PORT.
Mr. Editor— l was much pleased with a communication from “ The People ,” which appeared ia
ypur paper of 6th inst. on the subject of the Mayorand City Treasurer’s annual report of the city
finances. I fully agree with“Tse People” in opinion, that the city accounts are not stated with
sufficient clearness to enable us to understand them. Ihe practice of exhibiting* to us, for our in#
formation and approval, a cash account debited and credited to and by sundries—U, laughable to
sav the least of it. They tell us that in compliance With a law, they make an annual report of their
monev transactions, but as ‘tis too troublesome for them to enter into detail, if we wish to know
what is meant bv certain compound items- such as sundries—contingencies, ifc.— they beg leave
to refer us to the committee of finance to whom the account was submitted and must therefore be
correct because they are honorable men—l have no doubt of their honor.—(llrutus you know
“was an honorable man”) but Mr. Editor, fat men in hot weather will be lazy; and ten to one if the
correctness of a creat part of this long account has not been taken for grafted, because they knew
the Treasurer to bean honorable man. Isay therefore let the account be publisha.. indetail
that we the people mav examine for ourselves.
In another point of view the late account and report are calculated to mislead the careless ob
server, iji estimating the amount ot our annual receipts and expenditui es, 1 allude to the prac.
ticc of blending debits and credits together on the same side of the account, the result of which
is to reduce the sum total of both receipts and disbursements; with a view of illustrating my ideas
on this subject more fullv, I annex hereto an account current taken from the Treasurer’s last re
port by which vou will perceive that the amount of receipts and expenditures, is considerable
above that stated bv his honor the Mayor - all of which is respectfully submitted by

The following letter requires no com
ment. It was received yesterday, and will
relieve us from the office of replying to a
ny remarks, that may hereafter appear in
the public journals.—-JVetd Fork, States
man.
Albany, July 26, 1822,
Messrs. Carter and Prentiss, —Having
avowed myself as the author of certain que
ries, which appeared in the Statesman of
the 14th of June, under the signature of
“Ariel,” addressed to Mr. Jonathan Rus
sell. and having also in compliance with
|my promise, personally communicated to
tnat gentleman my name and place of res
idence, I did not conceive that there was
any thing further for me to do, but to wait
the measures, which he might think proper
to adopt, always holding myself responsi
ble for the publication ol those queries, and
willing at all timeg, should I be called up
on before a judicial tribunal, to establish
the ruth of “the imputations, which those
queries were intended to convey.”
Upon these circumstance, 1 cannot con
sent to enter into a newspaper controver
sy with any of the editors, who may think
proper to assail roe; and most of them, I
am puruaded,are too liberal, high-minded,
and ingenuous, to indulge in coarse invect
ive and undeserved censure upon my char
acter or conduct, in relation to said queries.
Had I shrunk from an avowal of my name,
as the author of those queries, then i should
have justly merited their reproaches and
the contempt of the public, for whose bene
fit alone they were propounded.
It is not by an unfair and illiberal abuse
of me, that the friends of “ the adverse par
ty” can hope to sustain the cause of Mr.
Russell. He is now in the “ predicament”
of a plantiffin ejectment; he must rely up
on the uprightness and justice of his own
conduct, and upon the purity and unsput
teuness of his own honor, and not upon the
weakness or impurity of mine.
I have read the New-York American of
Monday'last, announcing that a writ a
gain*t me had been put into the hands of
the Marshal of the Southern District, and
although I do not feel myself required to
accede to the very polite, and undoubtedly
very friendly recommendation of the edit
or of that journal, with whom, unfortunate
ly, I have not the honor of a personal ac
quaintance, viz. that I will immediately
authorize an attorney to endorse my ap
pearance on the writ;” nevertheless, as a
failure to avail tnyself of this very courte
ous invitation, which is the first anti only
information I have received thht a suit ha's
been ordered against me, at the instance of
Mr. Russell, might be construed into a re
treat from the ground which I have taken,
I have this day written to Thomas Morris,
Esq. the Marshal of the Southern District,

As the editors of some of ihe public jotirl

appear to think that I have not been satiil
cientiy explicit, I shall, in a few day!

and on which I principally rely for test*

queries.
To those to whom I am personally knowß
I feel that i stand in no need of defenefl

shall leave it to time, which proves al
things, and to the verdict of an impart*

my conduct in this affair, and by which*
am contented to stand or fall.
I thank you for friendly letters, and f*
the manner you have defended my condu*
in my absence; but as a suit has been insH

letter, that all further newspaper disc*
