LATEST FROM EUROPE.
TV© are indebted to our attentive Correspond
ent* the Editors of the Charleston Mercury, for
& Blip containing the following news, received by
the ship Perfect, Prince, and British brig Gen.
Brown, Sharpe, who have brought regular files of
papers to the 2d of May, Liverpool to the 3d, and
Lloyd’s Lists to the 30th of April. , The Commer
cial advices will be found under the proper head.
There was no alteration in the prices of
Cottor during the week ending on the Ist
of May. The sales of the week were
12 000 bales ; the import 9000 bales.
The political intelligence continues of a
desultory and indecisive character. An ar
ticle in the Gazette de France, under the
head of Bucharest, April 10,states that no
sign of the Russian troops speedily break
ing up from their canummeats had been
perceptible two daye previously, though
the report that they would still pass the
Pruth on the day originally fixed, (the
13ih) had not been formally contradicted.
It was inferred, however, from the abseuce
of all preparations indicating haste, that
the passage would not be effected on that
day, but would be deferred to a more-distant
period
Accounts from Japay state, that the
force collected at Adrianople presents an
imposing mass, and that every effort was
making to render its .organization as com
plete as possible. Symptoms of jealousy,
however, had shewn themselves between
the Asiatic troops and those discipline and in
the European manner, which had rendered
it necesaarv to make some severe examples
in order to sebdue the turbulent disposi
tion cf the former.
The report that the Servians had revolted
is contradicted. So far from wishing to add
to the perplexities of the Porte, they ap
pear to have admitted the Turks into the
heart of their country without the slightest
opposition.
Accounts from Zante of March 28tb,
mention that a squadron of men of war off
the Allied Powers, had been cruizing be
fore Nuvurino, and had prevented all ships.
Pirates had been seen off Maina.
The evacuation of Pampeluna by the
French troops is confirmed. Accounts
from Cadiz state, that there was not the
slightest preparation for evacuating that
fortress.
An article from Napoli de Romania of
the 10ih March, states that on the 29th
Feb. Admiral Miaulis, with the Hellas, fri
gate, a gun boat and a small vessel, pro
ceeded to Skopolo, notorious as the nest of
the pirates where he destroyed a dozen
of their vessels.
The Porte had sent Commissioners to
Greece to propose an armistice and amnes
ty on condition of their submitting. Count
Capo D Istria was of opinion, that it was
Do longer in the power of the proposal and
that the Turkish Commissioners must ap
ply to the Allied Powers, and not to the
Greek Government.
The Bill for the repeal of th* British
Test aud Corporation Acts had finally
passed the House of Lords. A repoit was
in circulation, however, that the king had
refused to sign the Bill,and that Lord Wei- j
lington, in consequence, had tendered his
resignation. This report is treated as ri ,
diculous
An article dated Vienna, April 16, states
that a note had been received there declar
ing the resolution of the British government
to remain neutral in case of war between
Russia and Turkey, and to co-operate w ith
France in maintaining the Treaty of the
6th of July.
In a late sitting of the French Chamber
of Deputies, the minister of niaiine, stated
that the French naval force in the Medi
terranean was actively engaged in rescuing
the Greek slaves taken from the Morea—-
and that on the very day cf the debate he
had received a despatch by w hich he was
informed that one single vessel had saved
437 of those wretched captives This an
nouncement was received with loud cheer
ing.
A telegraph despatch from Toulon of
April 20, states that the Ashtrce, frigate,
had taken and burnt, at the entrance of
the bay of Tunis, an algerine corsair of 6
guns aud 60 men. This corsair was the
only one that had left Algiers for 2 months.
Lord Eldon and several other Peers
have published a protest against the repeal
of the Test and orporation Acts.
The B oon de Damas has succeeded the
Due de Riviere as Governor of the Due de
Bourdeaux, grandson of the king of Fiance.
The London Courier of the 25th April
asserts, that the most cordial understanding
subsists, not only between the ihree Pow
ers, but between them and Austria and
Prussia.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated
on the evening of the 28ih, in reply to a
question from Sir John Graham, respect
ing the currency, that it was the fixed de
termination of Ministers to abide by the
Act of 1826, which takes all English notes
under £5 out of circulation in April next;
and that he should introduce a measure to
prevent the circulation of Scotch and Irish
small notes in England.
In a late debate upon the Test and Cor
poration Acts, the Duke of Wellington as
sured the House of Lores that no Peer
could be more decidedly opposed than lie
was to any further concessions to the Ca
tholics.
Sir Francis Burdett has postponed his
motion upon the Catholic question, to the
Bth of M ly.
The works upon the Thames Tunnel
are said to proceed as satisfactorily as
could well be expected. .
London, May I. We have had a variety
of reports here to-day, and all of an unfa
vourable description. The most promi
nent, and, in the opinion of some, the mos;
ridiculous, was that the King had refuseo
to sign the bill for the Repeal of the Test
and Corporation Acts, and that consequent
ly his Grace the Duke of Wellington had
tendered, or would tender, his
We will leave our readers to draw their
own conclusion as to the probability of this
strange rumour; we shall merely observe
i hat it appears to us most improbable,
though there are those who profess to give
some credit to it on the ground of the Duke
of the Cumberland delivering his opinion
with so much warmth against the Bill in
question
The Steam-packet from Oporto arrived
at Liverpool on Monday last. Her letters
were received te-day in town—they are
dated on the 20th inst being seven days’
later than the previous arrivals. Every
thing was perfectly quiet. In other respects
they contain no news.
The money market iiasbeen considera
bly depressed to-day. This has been ac
counted for in various ways. Some say
that the report of the resignation of the
Duke of V\ ellington has been the cause of
the decline : but the probability is that the
decline was the cause of the report. O
thers assert that the news of the determi
nation of the Pacha not to evacuate the
Morea, together with the alleged fact of
the-French being about to send troops to
j the assistance of the Greeks has had an un
favorable effect; while another party at
tribute the depression to the report of the
! Russians having crossed the Pruth: and
I lastly, we are told that ittias arisen solely
from the circumstance of a great speculator
j having sold his Time Stock, for the double
purpose of realizing, anti of enabling him
t self to buy money stock, upon lower
; terms.
Consols, which left off yesterday at 86 to
861-8, opening this morning at 86, were
then done at 85 34, afterwards went down

The heavy stocks have also declined.—
I The Four per Cents were last done at 102
: 1-2 aud the Four per Cents 1826, at 102
: 7-8. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds
continue about stationary.
In the Foreign market the Northern Se
curities have followed the course of Con
sols, are lower. Russia Bonds are low
er for the Account than for money. They
were last done for monev at 89 3-4, and
for the account as 49 1-8 Buenos Ayres
, Bonds have advanced rather considerably.
(This maybe attributed to the expectation
of peace being likely to take place shortly.
This idea must be founded, if indeed it has
’ ary foundation upon some repesentations
sent from our Government to the belliger
ent Powers. Buenos Ayres Bonds were
last doi.e at 33. The Mexican bonds have
rather declined.
There is actually a Scheme we under

Bucharest , April 10.—Though a great
deal bus been said of the advance of the
Russian troops for the 13th, and though it
is even affirmed that the order for their de
parture has been seen, fixing that day for
their entrance into the Principalities it ap
pears, that on the Bth no prepartions had
been observed in the Russian cantonments,
which indicated that they would so soon
depart. People, indeed, pretend to know
that 20,’ 00 men will pass the Pruth, and
that the military operations will be confin
ed, for the present, to the occupation of
the Principalities. These, however, are
but idle reports, that require confirmation.
—Augsburg Gazette. .
Corfu , April I—Accounts deserving of
credit say, that Varnachiotti, H sios, and
other Captains have joined tho Greek corps
at Dragomestre, which is very shorily to
advance towards Arta. Captains Gogos,
Colylidas, and the Sturnaris, are also rea
dy to join the Greeks, as soon as the latter
approach their districts.
The following is presumed to be the plan
of the expedition into Western Greece.——
The corps at the Dragomestre, reinforced
by another which is expected from the Pel
oponesus, will advance to Cassario Mario,
where it will divide into three columns.——
The centre will occupy that place ; the
right will extend towards Golista, and the
left to Lakis: small vessels are prepared
tO_enter the gulf of Ambracia, and support
the lett. It appears that A issolonghi and
Anatolico are or. the point of surrendering
to the Greeks. Prevess and Arta are not
in a condition to make a long resistance.
The Saraskier is at Juniana, where she is
in want of money. The inhabitants of that
country are treated with humanity, and no
extiaordinary tax are imposed on them.—
Orders have been indeed given to make a
general recruiting of all the Christians in
Rumelia ; hut the reason is not know n. —
Ibrahim Pacha is at Modon, aud his de
parture is spoken of.
Three envoys from the Sultan are ex
pected at Egina who come to propose to
the Greeks an armistice of three months
Ir is supposed -that Count Capo d’lstria
will refer them to the Allied Powers.
An English ship of the line has arrived
here with troops from Portugal. A bomb
vessel o! anew construction has also arriv
ed with four howitzers, and a large can
non in the middle ; each piece is served by
80 artillerymen. These vessels, and others
are said to be destined for the Dardenuel
les—Autizie del Giorno .
Trieste , April 16—While the President
is exerting himself with so much activity
for the happiness of Greece, Ibrahim ap
pears to have no other wish than to quiet
ihe Morea and return to his own coun f ry.
It is said that ad the preperations have
been made in the Egyptian army for the
embarkation, end that the fortresses still
held by the Egyptians are to be delivered
to the Turkisii troops. This circumstance
gives reason to presume that the Pacha has
hastened to the remonstrances of the Pow
ers, and sent instructions to his son.
Paris, April 28 —The Nuremberg Cor
responcent affirms in an article dated from
the Banks of the Danube that the Russian
troops, if they occupy the Principalities,
will remain there in the position they take
up, till the Porjte consents to fulfil the trea
ty of Akerman. No farther hostilities will
be committed ♦nless that power refuses to
listen to the language of reason. Mean
time, the efforts of the Ambassadors at Con
stantinople are still directed to the preser
vation of peace.
Shocks of an earthquake were felt at
Rome and Florence in the night of the
IGth April. They were more violent and
of longer duration in the latter capital but,
without any bad consequences. At Forli,
there were eighteen shocks i four days. |
The same ph nomena terrified the inhabi
tants of Ancona, Fesam, and Sanigagiia.;
Jassy , April 7. —(Private Correspon
dence.) —Advices from the left bank of the
Pruth, state that all the regiments of the
armies of Bessarabia, have been reviewed
in succession. Officers of the Staff from St,
Petersburgh arrive daily at the headquar
ters at Kiscbeuea, with orders to the Field
Marshal Count Wittgenstein. The news
is spread in the army, that it is on the 3d
of May that the Emperor Nicholas is to ar
rive at Bessarabia. ;
We learn from Constantinople that the
Divan has sent a secret agent directly to
Alexandria, with despatches to the Vice
roy, which are said to he of tho greatest
importance.
The Turkish officers, of every rank, are
at this moment in great numbers at Adrian
ople, and the army forming in the environs
of this city, forms an imposing mass. The
cominnnders are exerting themselves to the
utmost to preserve discipline among the
troops. It would appear that some sort ot
misunderstanding has been sown among
the Asiatics, and the soldiers disciplined
alter the European manner, and that se
vere measures were had recourse to, to
keep the former from pillage, of which they
are very fond.
Detachments of chosen Turkish troops,
consisting chiefly of Bosniacks, having en
tered Seivia, have occupied without oppo
sition the differest strong places of that
province, where they will do duty conjoint
ly with the Servian troops.
We understand that these precautionary
measures adopted by the Porte to guaran
tee Servia fiom an invasion, have caused
a certain sensation at the head quarters of
the Austrian troops assembled on the ex
treme frontiers. It had been remarked,
that hitherto the Ottoman Government
seemed to feel no uneasiness at the forma
tion of an Austrian army on:the ciufines of
Servia. From this it had-been interred
that the Divan had no'apprehensiot s as to
the future policy of the cabinet of Vienna.
The Turks continue to fill the dt files of
Mount Hamus with troops, and to raise en
trenchments, guarded by heavy artillery,
in the principal defiles through which an
invading army must pass on marching to
Constantinople.

THE KNIGHT OF MALTA.
In the centre of an apartment whose
walls were hung with rich cloths, aud whose
floors were spread v. ith the most costly
weavings of the east, sat, or rather reclin
ed, a knight in the half armour of the
times. Before him stood a marble table,
whose unblemished surface sustained a
lamp, the faint rays of which hone full
upon his face. lis lines had settled in the
expression of suffering, and at short inter
vals, tears which he impatiently struck
from them, glistened in his eyes. He sigh
ed heavily, and once or twice rose hastily
from his sea , as if endeavouring to escape
from the v eight that lay on his spirit. Sud
denly a narrow entrance in view, opened
and closed again after admitting a young
and delicately formed female At her ap
pearance he hastened towards her, and
raising from her lace a rich veil that con
cealed it, he kissed her fervently and in
silence: tnen, taking her hand, he led her
to an open casement, through which the
moon streamed in unshadowed splendour.
From thence he looked upward, and strove
to discover in the overhanging fiimamenr,
the star which the juggling science oi the
age had taught him to revere as the arbiter
of his fate. It shone with a mild and steady
light, and to ao unprepossessed mind, would
have suggested images of repose and beauty:
bus his diseased imagination saw written on
its placid disk, menaces of fatal import, and
shuddered as he read the visionary threat.
“ Constantia,” he said, addressing his
companion in hollow tremulous accents,
“the conclave have met, and the humble
knight whose best distinction was your love,
has, by their election been made the equal
of rulers and kings. Fut the gift of pt wer
is not without its alloy, and in becoming
the guide of others I have ceased to be
my own. The gaze of the multitude is on
me, and follows me from the scene of pub
lic functions to the solitude of these reces
ses, nor is it fitting that the leader of Mal
ta s chivalry should ever enjov softer en
dearments than may be reaped from the
austerities of monastic devotion, the page
antry of the touruay, or the hazardous re
velry of well fought fields. So, at least,
say the hoary headed fools of our conclave ;
but you know me too well, to believe that
their words alone could persuade me to
talk of separation to you. Separation : from
whom 1 If the grey dotards could but ima
gine the fervour of my attachment—the
blandishments of your tongue— the softness
of your bosom, and the high heroic heart
that throbs beneath it ! If they knew hut
how often when the call to arms has found
me iu the retirement of your bower, you
have lent me a nobler impulse than I own
ed without you, and buckling on my ar
mour, have bid me be a true knight; and
how often, its hazards over, my dearest re
ward for the valor all men praised, has
been your gentle welcome would they
wish me to fimve you 1 Constantia, the
contumely of these men were nothing to
me ; but the stars themselves, those poten
tial rulers of earthly destinies, demand it
from your lover. Will you pardon hint
that he dares not refuse V*
He ended, and the youthful girl whom he
addressed, stood pale and nion-nless as
marble. It was, in truth, a harsh reveal
ment to one, whose love was intense as the
wo,ship of holy things —whose boundless
security required all the power of t e
darkly predictive words she had just beard
to chill and to break it. She had been
sailing on a miiet sea, in a barque, teeming
with soft sounds and pleasing emotions, and
now was stranded on a lone shore with no
thing to greet her senses but the monoto
nous discord of angry ocean. She m ght
not unaptly be compared in her present
hopeless and solitary condition, to a tra
veller, who having smoothed his pillow at
night on one of those verdant spots that
adorn the barrenness of the desert, with
living rills gushing around him, and ftesh
leaves waving over him, awakes on the
morrow to the horrors of endless and burn
ing sterility. She strove to speak, but the
words rattled hoarsely in her throat, and
the effort spent itself in inarticulate sounds.
But there was a proud spirit in her eye,
that gave promise of early and greater sell
command : and well was that promise kept.
I “ Godfrey,” she said in low but distinct
accents, 44 when your summons came, I was
alone in the solitary chamber, which, to
be near you, I have chosen in my father s
free hall. I was alone with the dishonour
for which I bartered a spotless name, and
yet when your step awoke the
sleeping echoes of that si ent room, I knew
that he came to guide me to your presence,
and I was happier in that reflection, than
fame or love of kindred could have made
me. But you say aright: the companion
of your obscure days, deserves not to share
in the splendor of your future lot. The
hand that led me from my youthful home,
had no other trust than the bridle reius,
and a good sword. A weightier care is iu
store for it, and I resign its protection. —
Say I not well, love 1” She crept into his
bosom, and lay there with an eye as calm
aud as bright as ever shone on happier
days. Then rising} she looked up in his
face earnestly—tend rly.
\ 44 Godfrey,” she continued, 44 lend me
your poignard ; I know *tis ever by your
side, and as a parting gift I would weave
around its hilt a ringlet of the poor hair you
have praised so often.” She received the
dagger from him. It had been won in strife
from the infidel, and was enchased with
rich jewels. Her dark hair was twined
around it. The moment afier she buried
it iiPo her side, and fell bleeding at his
feet! Quick as thought he upraised her
inanimate bot’ff. He bound up the wound,
and warmed hV faded lips vvitli his kisses,
till they blushetragain with the sanguine
die of the rose pe reilluminated his
eyes for a moment, unt gradually left it as
those lips resumed the ashy paleness of
death. He took her an.l lifeless
band and sighed over it his last adieu
44 That blow—that blow I it hath killed us
both, Constantin.”
I The sultry plains of Syria were crowded
with the array of war. The crescent and
the cross waved in dead y hostility over
its parch id soil. Around the banners of
the turbaned Prophet, were gathered the
bravest of his worshippers—the swarthy
Bedouin, the melancholy Turk, and tfip
pale, enervated Persian. Opposed to them
was the flower of Christendom—the hosts
,of France and England, c,f middle Ger
| many, and Venice, the mistress of the seas.
Malta’s best tances were there, but without
their legitimate leader. Godfrey, the grand
muster of their order, had mysteriously
disappeared from amongst them. Dark
and injurious suspicions were levelled at
him by his kingly competitors in fame,
from which his followers were only won
by the absorbing interest of the approach
ing strife. It came at last, and thousands
who on that day saw the sun rise bright
and unclouded : lay stiff and cold, ere its
beams weie quenched in night. The dawn
marshalled them forth—followers of the
cross and crescent. The middle hour found
them contending. But we are n. t fit
chroniclers of the event of that conflict. A
single feature of them however, we would
fain commemorate.
Overpowered by numbers, and oppress
ed by 1 ng continued exertions, the knights
, of St John were slowly retiring before the
countless myriads of the east, w hen r re
i markabte incident gave them anew thead
■ vantage of the fight. At this critical pe
riod, when retreat was rapidly assuming
the characteristics of flight, a knight appa
relled in sable armor, and bestriding a noble
animal of the same color, appeared among
; them. He shouted the war cry of the or
der, and urging his horse at full speed
! against the nearest of his assailants, struck
, them down in his progress. Long and
| unimpeded, he kept on his victorious way
* till the boldest of his followers trembled at
’ his rashness. The catastrophe was how
ever at hand, and the blood that bedab
bled his armour, testified that he had not
pursued his stern career unharmed. The
stroke ol a battle axe parried on his sword,
had shivered it to pieces: he drew from his
bosom a poinard, whose jewelled hilt was
■ encircled with a single tres of raven hair.
(Was it Constantia’s ?) Ho railed it aloft
; to strike a last blow, but life waned in the
effort, and horse and rider came to the earth
together to rise no more..
We learn from Capt. Bissell, who arrived here
• yesterday in the brig Sea Gull, from Brassas de
St. Jago, that an Express from Mexico had arrived
at Malta Moras, on the evening of the 19th ult.
■ with instructions to the General Commandant,
directing him to make provision for an army of
I 25,000 men, which was to be stationed on different
’ parts of the coast. These directions w’ere given
m consequence of an expected invasion by the
Spaniards under the command of Gen. Morales,
and assisted by the fleet of Commodore Lahorde.
The Spanish force was supposed to eonsist of
about 12,000 men. The Gen, Commandant was
likewise directed to drive all the cattle from the
coast to the interior. We also learn that a Mex
ican government sloop from Vera Cruz, with 500
barrels of powder and arms, bound to Matamoros,
was wrecked on the St. Jago bar on the 10th ult.;
the crew were saved, but the vessel and cargo to
tally lost.— Charleston Mercury.

Masonic Celebration, —The Corner Stc.n* ?
the new Masonic Hall of this City was laid v
terday with the appropriate ceremonies of
craft, which were performed with impressivl
grandeur and solemnity, and attended hy a v J. t
concourse of spectators, numbers of whom we *
attracted by the previous announcement of zl*
event, from distant parts of this and the adjoin ip*
State. The procession, which was attended bf
the officers of the Grand Lodge of the State w *
formed at the Lodge Room, at ten o’clock. A V*
proceeded to the City Hall, where it was john-S
by the Mayor and the other civil. authorities rs
the City, the Reverend Clergy, the members cf
the St. Cecilia Socety, and several distinguished
strangers. It then passed through Greene, Ces
tre and Broad-streets, to the site of the Mason*
Hall, when the corner stone was laid with appro,
priate Religious and Masonic ceremonies ; and a*
eloquent Mosonic address, fraught w r ith ir.u<*k
moral and religions truth, and supported by forc}%
ble and beastitul illustrations in defence of the s*.
cred order of Masonry, was delivered by his ho.
nor Judge Schley, M. W. G. M., and succeeded
by a Prayer from the Rev. Mr. Moderwefl. F rar4
thenee it repaired to St. Paul’s Church, where *
chaste and eloquent Masonic Oration, beautiful],
enriched “with the classic refinements and grace*
of oratory, was delivered by R. R. Re ; 4 Esq. ans
preceded and followed by impressive Prayers, of.
sered up to the Throne of Grace by the Rev/ Mr
Talmage and Mr. Tally. The procession thea
returned to the Lodge Room, where it was dis.
banded ; and the festivities of the day were con
cluded by a splendid Masonic Dinner given at
the Planters’ Hotel. Upwards of a hundred per
sons sat down to table, among whom were many
invited guests of distinction, and the enjoyments
of the evening were distingnished by a richness
and beauty of social harmony worthy the ijj
ternal character of the company.
The site of the contemplated Masonic Hall i s on

where formerly stood the Globe Uavern, and
nearly opposite the Augusta Bank—one of the
most conspicuous and eligible situations in the

Dreadful Catastrophe —By the steamer North
America we have receiv ed the following melan
choly information:—On the morning of the 14th
inst. the steamer Car of Commerce, Capt. Cocks,
on her passage hence for Louisville, at the head
of inland No. 25, burst her boiler at the after head,
which took a direction through the hurricane
deck, destroying every thing betore it to the stern
of the boat. The boilers recoiled from their bed
to the forecastle, leaving every thing on that part
of the main deck a heap of ruins. The North
America stopped at Bearfield’s landing to take in
cargo, when the cabin passengers accompanied by
Dr. Near, proceeded with the medicine chest to
the relief of the unfortunate sufferers. On their
arrival they found the boat, the coast and the farm
houses literally strewed w r ith the dead, the dying
and the wounded. Those in the main ‘cabin es
caped unhurt: but of the deck passengers, and
crew, consisting of more than sixty persons, very
few escaped. Our informant remained with the
boat; at their departure, 14 were dead and 10 or
12 considered past recovery, besides from 20 to 30
more or less injured Many of the unhappy be
ings were literally boiled, others scaled from head
to foot and skinned alive, presenting a spectacle
at w'hich humanity shuddered. Some of them by
inhaling the hot steam into their throats, were
scalded inwardly into their very lungs.
Capt. Cocks, who escaped unhurt, was using
indefatigable exertions to alleviate the suffrings
of the wounded, and to inter the dead with decen
cy.
