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.

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. “ Antwerp, June 14.—The principal ob ject of the present is to acquaint you that (he public funds have continuedtoimprove v ery much particularly Austrian and Nea politan Stocks.

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 Dumfries Courier. NEW YORK INFIRM A RY. Gratuitous treatment of Cancers, F'stu las. <s• Ulcers.

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 ONE OF THE PEOPLE, Dr. Cash in the Cihj Treasuary in ’ July 10, 1822 To amount received for rent of City Lois 10189 36 To amoun’ received of Wm.

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, account current, with pie People Cr.
