LATEST 1 ROM ENGLAND.
From (hr Charleston City Gazette.
Steam Boat Hotel Reading and News Room,
Norfolk, August 10, 5, r. m.
Messrs. Slcinnrr if IVilden,
Gentlemen —The British ship Higson, John
son, in 40 days from Cork, in ballast, and 68 pas
sengers, anchored in Hampton Roads on Satur
day evening last; on Sunday captain Johnson
came up with his letter bag, and politely furnish
ed me with London papers, and dates to the 21st
of June, and a large mass of Cork and other Irish
papers, to the 26th of the same month, being ten
days later than previous advices from England,
and fifteen days later than those heretofore re
ceived from Ireland. Subjoined is as full a sum
mary as time and observation will enable me to
give you. Captain Johnson observes that an idle
rumor was afloat at the time of his sailing, that
Spain was withholding the ratification of the
American treaty, in consequence of England's
demanding of her, in the event of her ratifying
it, the cession to her of the island of Cuba; prom
ising her at the same time, that, should she cede
that island to her, she (England) would furnish
her with a stipulated number of men to garrison
the Floridas, and thus prevent the United States
from re-possessing those provinces hereafter. In
the event of Spain’s refusing to make the trans
fer, she (England) would adopt such measures
as would place Ferdinand in rather an unpleas
ant situation.
A London paper of the 2 Ist of June, acknow
ledges the receipt of Paris, Brussels, and Ham
burg papers to the 19th.
The differences between Sweden and Den
mark, Concerning the liquidation of the public
debt of Norway, conformably to the treaty of
Kiel, are said to have been adjusted under the
mediation of the great powers, at London. Den
mark, it appears, had just grounds of complaint,
and is, by the arrangement, to receive a smaller
sum from Sweden than she had expected, but
will receive it in a shorter time, and the payment
guaranteed toiler.
A letter from Madrid, published in a Paris pa
per, accuses England of acting upon a regular
system of crippling the resources of Spain; and
after alluding to the cession of the Floridas, adds,
“and it is now understood (through the medium
of American papers) that the Havana will soon
cease to belong to us ” An English editor thinks
the above charge against the British government,
curious enough; and asks if they produced the
cession of the Floridas to the United States? “If
we had have acted upon this w ise principle,”
says he, “it would have been cutting off’ the nose
to be revenged of the face.'”
The French chamber of deputies was still em
ployed upon the budget, at the last advices. The
king’s health was improving daily; and on the
16th of June, after receiving the ambassadors,
he tranacted business as usual; it was expected
that in a few days he would make a communica
tion to both chambers, of the highest importance.
Ferdinand of Spain was soon to be married to
Mai •ia Josepha of Saxony, daughter of prince
Maximiliian, the king’s brother; she was born
in 1803.
Lucien Bonaparte has recently applied to the
pontifical government at Rome, for permission
to send bis eldest son to his brother Joseph in
America, but cardinal Gonsalvi refuse and the per
mission; he advised Lucien however to apply to
the five allied powers.
A severe shock of an earthquake was felt on
the 25th of May, along the whole coast of the !
Mediterranean; at Rome, it was so violent, that |
it threw down the famous cupola c alled Castello, |
remarkable for its antiquity and Gothic architec
ture. •
An article under date of Cambray, June 13,
says, “the departure of our minister of w ar from
Paris, to Bohemia, excites in our provinces num-j
berless conjectures.” His avowed object appears I
to be the baths; but, says the Cambray article,
“there are warm baths in France, to whidh stran
gers repair from all part.; of Europe.” It is ob- j
served, how ever, that “supplies of powder, war- ,
likcstores, and artillery, are sending to tire for- I
tresses on the northern frontiers, and that troops
arrive from the interior to garrison them. Half
pay officers in the 3d battaliion of each legion,
have been restored by the minister of war to ac
live service, and the organization completing with
much celerity.”
On the 22d of May, the commissioners of the
> sinking fund at St. Petersburg, burnt publicly,
in the presence of the competent authorities,
bank notes to the amount of eighty millions of
rubles.
The differences with the Carlisle weaver?,
have been amicably settled; and they are finish
ing their pieces which they had in their looms;
but there have been meetings of reformers else
where, particularly at Leeds, Glasgow, and on
Ilunslet Moor; the latter was attended by about
10,000 persons, and the meeting opened by a Mr.
Williams, a printer, and one of the society of
friends. The meeting at Leeds was very turbu
lent, and considerable apprehension is entertain
ed of the result. The other meetings have not
been so riotous.
1 have received no shipping list by this arrival;
but an article of great importance in the uteum
•world (if I may use the expression) is contained
in the Cork paper of the 19th of June; it is no
less than the anival at Kinsale, in 21 days, of the
STEAM SHIP SAVANNAH,from Savannah,
laden w ith cotton, and passengers; she put in for
supplies, would remain a day or two, and then
Hwrocecd lor Liverpool. Previous to her putting

;cie of June 17.
The Qoutidienne assorts that all the English
officers now at Paris have received orders to re
turn to England. “Different reasons are given
for this order; some attribute it to the necessity of
sending our troops to the Cape of Good Hope,
others to the necessity of completing the regi
ments in Canada, ow ing to the serious difficulties
which have arisen between the cabinets of St.
James and Washington. Among other rumors
of trouble, probably quite as well founded, it is
said that a marked coldness has sfl isen between
the cabinets of Berlin and St. Petersburg, which
promises to end in the formation of a close alli
ance between Austria, Prussia and England.
Several parts of Fi ance have been devastated
by tremendous storms. In one place 85 houses
have been destroyed by lighting. On the 21st
ultimo, a tempest, accompanied with hail, thun
der and lighting, ravaged upwards of fifty com
munes But a still more dreadful scourge threat
ens to destroy the harvest of the whole depart
ment of Arles, which held forth the greatest
promise. Hosts of locusts appeared on a sudden,
and covered the land. The inhabitants went out
immediately to protect their fields, but though
they collected as much as 57 quintals of these
devourers every day, the number did not seem
decreased. They were as yet smali, but their
devastations were most alarming, and it was ap
prehended that the heat would enlarge both their
size and numbers. They had only attacked the
grass, but the corn was expected to fall next a
prey to their rapacity.
A London paper of June 11th, says, “The
American papers mention, as a report, that the
island of Cuba has been ceded to England by
Spain Should this report he founded on fact,it
would explain the conduct of ministers in bring
ing forward the foreign enlistment bill.
A Dublin paper pf June 1 1, says, “We have
assurances in various shapes, from London, that
the favorite divorce project of an illustrious per
sonage will certainly be brought under the con
sideration of parliament before the close of the
session. One of the papers, in adverting to the
rumors which are circulated relative to the busi
ness, points at the recent invitations of some of
the leading opposition members to Carlton house.
But the Morning Chronicle asserts that for these
civilities “there was no political motive what
ever.”
New South Wales. —Advices have been re
ceived from Port Jackson to the first week in
October, when there was every prospect of an
abundant harvest throughout the territory. The
j Glory, captain Poinder; the Isabell, captain Ber
ry; and the Maria, captain Williams, with male
’ and female convicts, had arrived on the 14th and
15th September.
Bussian Empire. —The frontiers of the Rus
sian empire are contiguous to those of China:
and the commercial relations between the two
states, would be of extreme importance to both,
I were it not for the difficulty of communication,
‘or rather the frightful idea entertained of it by
most merchants, deters them from speculations
; they would otherwise engage in. To remove
these prejudices which are so injurious, and for
the encouragement of travellers, Mr. Martinoff,
member of the academy of fine arts, has just ex
ecuted a work which ought to immortalize his
name. Having twice made the journey to Chi
na by land, he has published R picturesque des
cription ol the route, from Moscow to the great
wall. Thirty maps and plates represent the
most remarkable points on this route, on which
are met great towns, navigable rivers and lakes
and places celebrated in the history of Russia.
In the house of commons, June 11, the foreign
enlistment biil was ordered to be read a third
time on the following Wednesday, when amend
ments would be proposed. It is to take effect
from the Ist of August, 1819, within any part of
the united kingdom, and from the Ist of Novem
ber, in any place out of the united kingdom.—

Mr. Bagot and suite, landed at Portsmouth,
June 10, from the Forth frigate, under appro
priate salutes, and immediately set off for Lon
don. The commissioners for settling the boun
dary line, are going on in the most satisfactory
manner, and expected to end their labors in Oc
tober.
Madrid , May 25.—The minister of marine
is still at Cadiz, to direct in person the grand ar
mament, which in all appearance will be ready
to sail by the end of July. A fine frigate of 38
guns, fitted out at Corunna, lately arrived at Ca
diz with 15 transports under its convoy. In their
passage they met many insurgent privateers, who
did not attempt to attack the convoy. They al
so expect at Cadiz a division from Carthagena,
consisting of two frigates and several transports;
and several more from Barcelona, 100,000 pi
asters have been sent from this city to Cadiz, to
accelerate the preparations which are carrying on
with double activity, because the government
feels the necessity of striking a great blow this
year, the insurgents being more resolved than
ever to defend their cause. All hopes of an ar
rangement with Buenos Ayres, and of its sub
mission to the mother country, have vanished;
nothing remains but to try the force of arms.—
All accounts from South America give reason to
presume that the struggle will be bioody and
desperate; may the result be happy!
In one of the journals an extract of a private
letter from Rome is given,dated the 27th ultimo,
which after referring to the stay there of the im
perial court of Austria, has the following para
grap!:—
“Her imperial highness, Maria Louisa, arch
duchess of Parma, came’ to the gates of Rome
without entering the city; she did not pass be
yond the cascades of Tersny, where she remain
ed two days. Some trifling occurrences, of a
sufficient scandalous character, invented by the
liberal sect, which happened with respect to her
during the period when she was near Bologna
with the emperor, has prevented us from seeing
her here. We ought to add, that these trans
actions have been repressed, and the authors se
verely punished.”
LATEST FROM GIBRALTAR.
By the arrival, at Boston, of the brig Adriatic,
from Gibraltar, we learn, that Mr. and Mrs. Rus
sell, and Miss Russell, were there on the 16th
of June, on board the United States’ ship Frank
lin, on their way to America, and would proba
bly embark in the ship Cordelia, of Boston. Mr.
Davis, of New-York, came down in the squad
ron from Naples, on his way to America. The
Franklin was visited, while at Naples, by a great
number of the Italian and English nobility. A
mong the English nobility that visited the ship,
were admirals sir Sidney Smith, Hotham, Free
mantle, and sir Philip Durham—they made fre
quent visits, always bringing a number of ladies
with them. On the 21st, the prince of Prussia
visited the ship—he came as a citizen, wishing
no parade. On the 26th, the viceroy of Sicily
visited the ship, and was saluted with 21 guns,
going and coming. The next day, the king of
Naples’ wife came on board.
On the 31st of May, there was a grand review
of the whole army. The emperor selected
25,000 men to go with him.
It was reported that prince Metternich, the
prime minister of Austria, was to leave Naples
the Ist of June, for the court of France.
A strong talk of war. The emperor of Rus
sia has demanded thac the king of Prussia should
abdicate bis throne in favor of his own family.—
New-York Gazette, 4th instant.
INTERESTING NEWS.
Captain Abbott, of the schooner Favorite, ar
rived at Philadelphia from St. Bartholomews, in
14 days’ passage, has furnished the editor of the
Philadelphia Gazette, with the following inte
resting communication:
St. Barts , 21 st July.
Dear Sir —The following information was
handed me by a gentleman who arrived from St.
Eustatius this morning, and which you will please
have published, on your arrival at Philadelphia,
as it may be of service to the commercial part
of tiie community.
A schooner touched off St. Eustatius, 20th
inst. in 6 days passage from Mai garitta, bound
to St. Thomas, the captain of which vessel gave
the following information:—Admiial Brion sail
ed from Margaritta on the 10th instant, with his
squadron, consisting of the Victoria, (his flag
ship) a thirty-two gun English frigate, recently
arrived, (name not recollected) nine brigs, eleven
schooners, and a number of gunboats, all well
armed and manned. On board of the squadron
are 2500 English, Irish and Scotch, 500 German
and 350 Indian troops, all well disciplined, and
in high spirits; they most sanguinely calculate
upon meeting with success, and being amply re
munerated for the many hardships and depriva
tions they had expeiicnced whilst at Margaiitta.
Their destination is supposed to be against La
guira.
Commodore Jolly was still under arrest at
Margaritta, for conspiracy with his brother-in
law, general Arismendi, against admiral Brion,
and an act of piracy which he committed whilst
he commanded the Victoria—Arismendi is un
der arrest at Angustura; their trial is to take place
immediately after the return of Brion from his
present expedition—and it is the general im
pression that they will be shot and hung in jib
bets. A number of prizes had been lately car
ried into Margaritta, several of them with valu
able cargoes of hides, sugar, cocoa, tallow, indi
go, etc. all of which sold at high prices, as there
was a great many speculators there from St.
Tnomas, and different islands, with abundance
of doubloons and good bills—all, except one of
the prizes were captured by privateers under
the Artigan flag.
The Philadelphia Democratic Press of the 2d
instant, says “We understand the Hornet will re
main in port not more than 10 days.” On the
intelligence from Spain which was published in
this city, the same paper remarks as follows:
Having had an opportunity of a conversation
with one of the most intelligent gentlemen who
came in the Hornet, and one of as good opportu
nities as any other in the vessel, we feel bound
to accompany the extracts from the New-York
papers with some remarks. The most import
ant assertion, and the one in which the papers
most generally agree is that the treaty will not be
ratified. We are of a different opinion. The
couitof Spain have until the 26th of this month
to ratify. It appears that Ferdinand had made,
but not signed, three grants of lands in Florida,
previous to the treaty having been signed in the
United States, and a question had arisen, wheth
er those grants should or should not, be allowed.
Mr. Forsyth resisting and the Spanish minister
advocating the grants as included in the treaty.
This circumstance had caused a delay but was
not expected to prevent the ratification of the
treaty, within the time allowed.
‘Fhe story of the banishment at midnight and
assassination of the marquis De Cassa Yrujo
rests upon the facts of the marquis having re
ceived a written order to leave Madrid, whicJi
he forthwith did, retiring to a distance of 20
miles, whither he was the next day followed by
his family.
The force of the Spanish squadron in the har
bor of Cadiz, at the time of the Hornet’s sailing,
is greatly overrated. There was but one , line
of battle ship and 3 frigates in the harbor. The
Russian ships had sailed for Chili several weeks
before the Hornet sailed. Many of them were
considered so rotten that many navy officers had
refused to sail in them ami had in
been dismissed the Spanish service. There is
no doubt but the squadron, transports, See. are
destined for South America.
The Baltimore Patriot assarts that captain-
Reed, of the Hornet, in passing through that city
gave it as his opinion, that the treaty will be rati-
Jicd.
Detroit, (Michigan) July 26.
Rumors. —Reports- of Indian hostilities, and
a manifestation of hostile intentions by Indians,
have been set afloat within three or four weeks
past, and with regret we observe that some of
them have found a place in newspapers in diffe
rent parts of the United States. One rumor told
us that the Indians, residing on Fox river and its
vicinity, had attacked and destroyed a part of
the fifth regiment of infantry, on its way from
Green Bay to Praire du Chene and St. Peter’s
—and there are others of a similar kind, and
equally without foundation. Mr. Rathbone, late
army contractor, has just returned from Gieen
Bay, by land, and passed through the villa
ges of the greater part of the Indians in that
remote quarter; he represents the most savage
nations (the Winebagoes, Sacs and Menominies)
as totally unprepared for hostility, even if they
had a disposition for it, being nearly destitute of
powder and lead. Mr. R. ascended Fox liver a
few miles with the fifth regiment, and informs us
that colonel Leavenworth called a council with
the Winebagoes and Menominies, and told them
his object in passing through their country, to
which they made not the least objection, but ex
pressed their friendship for the Americans in the
strongest language, and offered every means in
their power to aid the troops in ascending the
river—the colonel accepted the services of about
a dozen, as pilots and guides. Mr. R. represents
the Pottawattamies, Chippewas, Ottaways and
Kickapoos, a part of whose country he passed
through, as very friendly disposed towards the
United States.
General Brown and suite arrived here last
Monday night, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o’clock, in the schooner Tiger from Green
Bay- 1 ; and left here yesterday, in the steamboat
Walk-in-the*Water, for Buffalo.— Gazette.

■viva voce. The seat of government to be at
Huntsville one year, then at Cahaba until 1825,
when it is to be fixed permanently. There is to
be a state bank and branches, but not more-than

the state to own two-thirds of the stock, and the
stockholders to be liable personally for the debts
of the bank, and no bank to go into operation un
til the payment of the whole subscribed lor is
made in gold or silver.— Raleigh Rt gister.
