J ***** — •Mm LATEST FROM ENGLAND. . , Boston, August 10. Last evening arrived the ship Telegraph, captain Cbf- fin, thirty-two days from Liverpool. Mr. William Ward, a passenger, has politely favored the editor with London papers to the evening of the 5th ■July, containing Paris dates to the 2d. We have rdom only for the following summary. Lord Wellington arrived in England July 1, which produced considerable sensation. It was supposed by some that this journey was on account of ill health, but' as he travelled remarkably fast, it was generally believed his visit was political. It is stated that lord Exmouth is to proceed again im- thediately to the Mediterranean to chastise the Algerine and Tunisian pirates. He is to hoist his flag oh board the Queen Charlotte. Lord Exmouth was in London. Af» attempt was made at Paris June 23, to blow up or set fire to the hotel of the duke of Wellington, during a fete given by him, at which the Bourbon princes were present. A smoke was perceived issuing from the cel lar, which was found to proceed from a lighted rag be smeared with gunpowder, near which were a number of ball cartouches, several pounds of gunpowder, and two barrels of oil. The fire was extinguished before it com municated to the train, and no alarm was given to the cbmpany. The trials for treason continued in France; attempts St imposition by the prisoners were made, but Without producing any other effect than a temporary suspension of their trials. The Morning Chronicle of the 5th says, “We are stfrry ■'t'0' learn that the commercial difficulties of the country are not likely soon to be relieved from America, where trade is wholly at a stand. A letter from New-York states, that the country is nearly bankrupt, that the pa per circulating medium has depreciated in some instances 25 per cent, below its nominal value. Letters from Spain allude to a continuation of failures, ffirough the presence of commercial distress, which it is expected will increase. On the 2d of July, parliament was prorogued to Au gust 24. The regent, in his speech from the throne on the occasion, thanks them for the interest they have taken in the marriage of his daughter, and the liberal provision they have made for her—announces that he has given the royal consent to the marriage of the princess Mary «nd the duke of Gloucester—and declares that there is a prospect of the continuance of the peace so essential to the interest of all nations. Paris, July 1. The Russian troops at Nancy have received orders to march to Maubeuge, where the Russians are concentrat ling their forces. Marshal Sucnet and general Colbert Vho appeared at court yesterday, are expected to have immediate , commands. The want of money, however, renders the French levies extremely slow. By a private letter we learn, that a house has been ta •ken at Toeplitz for the king of Prussia, and that there is Yio other foundation for the meeting of thecro wned heads, but tliis circumstance. The lady of general sir Robert Wilson being danger ously indisposed, we are assured that the general has ob tained permission to go to the house in which she re sides, on giving his parole of honor that he will not leave Hhe house. ’ The emperor of Russia has abolished the vassalage of s|he peasants of Esthonica. The process commences at once, but it is to be gradual as to the complete enfran chisement, so as to be perfected in fourteen years. An instantaneous entire change of freedom might have had bad effects among people in their condition. There are about 400,000 of them. The decimal divisions of money has been adopted in Holland—it was proposed and much praised in England; but there were impediments as to its introduction. The mode originated under the federal administration in the United States. The Roman Catholics in the British dominions enter tain confident expectations from recent declarations by lord Castlereagh and Mr. Canning, that they are soon to enjoy all political privileges in common with the protes- tants. It is said the court of Brazil propose to cede its Eu ropean territories to Spain; in exchange for South-Ame rican territory. The Dee frigate is preparing to take sir Robert Hall and suite to Quebec. He is appointed command on the Jakes. Captain Lockyer is his captain, and lieutenant Bruce, his flag lieutenant. July 2. General Marchand has been tried before the first coun cil of war, and acquitted. A considerable expedition is preparing at Canstantrmv- pie. It is supposed to be destined against the dey of Al-j- ^iers, who has long disregarded the authority of the, grand seignior. Rome, June 15.

Napees, June 16. ■• .:■ •fjojnjlL Yesterday the minister of foreign affairs, itis said, read dispatches from the prince regent of(England relative to the prompt arming of the embodiedttbops, and the levy ing of seamen to man the ships of war which are prepar ing to put to Sea to cruise against'thq Barbary pirates. London, July 5 . A letter from Marseilles, states that the Mahometans at Bona, (a post-town of Algiers) oa Ascension-day, mur dered every Christian in the: place; the number supposed to exceed three hundred, and believed to include the British consul. Several Christian vessels cut their ca bles and ran to sea. Marshal Suchet has been put on active service by the - %ing of France. Marshal Davoust has received orders to retire to Fla- iemalii forcotton^asxepitiptke pricep?that TSe immediate and earnest of goSfehtfnchtto icle, notwithstanding that there have been numerous this Serb article, notwithstanding arrivals; this proves that our manufactories are actively and usefully employed.” Picadilly, from the commencement of the Green Pari to Hyde Park gate, is about to be paved with cast iron which is now preparing at a foundery in Wales, by direc tion of the parish of .St. George’s.,Hanover square. JVTr. Brougham, the British Anti-ministerialist. The following is an extract from a Speech recently de- livered by the celebrated Mr. Brougham in the Britis- Parliament. The orator has Keen long conspicuous for his inveterate opposition to the the present ministry, and looked up to as the great trumpeter of the Fox party, in the house of Commons. “However much the attention of Europe be attracted to the present exalted situation of this country, which ti them might bean object of admiration, ofenvy and ai.JT.. —to whatever circumstances they might ascribe its pre s ent power,1 hold the advantage we now enjoy to be more, much more, owing to our land having been made the rallying point of all good principles, to which all good men, suffering under a good cause, were lc<‘ to fly for relief to its having been made a place of refuge to which all who were oppressed might look for assistance and not look in vain.—To these tilings 1 ascribe our present greatness, more than to any thing else, which my imagination or memory could suggest.— Though some might ascribe it to the diplomatic talents of lord Castlereagh, and others trace it to the more unques tionable merits of our army and navy, yet I, though not denying, and God knows, not undervaluing their servi ces, (having been the very first to propose that the thanks of Parliament should acknowledge them,) am disposed to trace to Still higher sources our present advantageous situation—to our free constitution, to our free Parliament, and to our free Press. It was from the possession of these advantages that the truth could always be dissem inated in tliis country. Our free press conveyed it to an enquiring, and consequently to an enlightened people, and our free parliament (free at least in its discussions) co-operated in the same labor. It is from these great advantag-es that I believe our high station to be derived.” Liverpool, July 6. The merchants trading to Quebec have complained to ministers that the seamen who went out in the merchant vessels had been induced to enter for service on Lakes Ontario and Erie, by being offered 90s. per month, when in the merchant service they had only 35s. and the ships were thus stripped of their men. Lord Melville said he could not account for 90s. being given, unless part was by way of bounty, as government only allowed 45s. But he would send out seamen from England. The merchants asked to what extent government wanted hands there, and for what purpose they were to be employed; but lord M. declined answering. Admiral Penrose, the British naval commander in the Mediterranean, has received orders to afford protec tion agu nst pirates reported to be cruizing in the Morea. The following is a new trait of the insolence of the Barbary states:—The French bomb vessel, the Alexan der, which left Smyrna on the 17tli May, and entered? [ Marseilles on the 18th June, was met on the 8th, inear Cape Argeute, by a xebec of Tripoli, which carried off its guns and some of its provisions. No vessel can be admit'ed at any Russian port .in the Baltic, unless she fius a certificate of health, from Elsi- neur, Hamburg. Frederica or Toningen; and none can be admitted at the ports of the White Sea, unless they have such certificates from Norway or England. Russia fur nishes the forms. v A Swedish frigate stationed off Got tenburg, has seized two English merchantmen, under the plea of their having failed lo perform quarantine. Mr. Foster, minister at Copenhagen, has represented this matter to his cabinet, and it is thought the event will lead to some explana tions between Denmark and Sweden. A Mr Barnet has been elected member of parliament for Rochester, by a ma jority of two. He is an antimin isterialist. Ilis opponent (Thompson) complained that the poll was closed precipitately. In a recent election for a Coronerin the county of Mid dlesex, England, the candidates spent about 2000? each, in electioneering. A proof that the office is lucrative. In England, major general lord T. Berresford, has re covered 10,000? of the earl of Bective, for criminal con versation with his wife. The damages were laid at 30,000. The memoirs of Fouche, in two volumes, are said to be ready for publication. We understand the Wantage Bank suspended its pay ments on Thursday. The British parliament have addressed the prince re gent, requesting him to cause to be proclaimed in all the West*Iaaia islands, his royal highness’s displeasure at the daringm surrections, to undeceive the blacks where they-have"erroneous impressions, and to enjoin on the cdjDjiial authorities to carry into effect evert' measure to the moral, civil and religious improvements, as the comfort and happiness of the negroes; and to every necessary provision against any violation of __ ;ws against the slave-trade, gjveden os stated to have acceded to the “holy alii- Vigny. Lieutenant-general Gilly has been tried and found guilty. A writer from Buenos Ayres despairs of the indepen dence of that country, from the factions that distract the revolutionists. At Boughborough, at the lace manufactory of Mr. Heathcoate, a mob has destroyed machinery and pro perty to the amount of 65,000 dollars, and killed a man. Lieutenant general Drouet d*Erlon, is on trial in France fhr contumacy. The Turkish fleet at Constantinople is fitting for sea xyith gTeat activity, supposed to be destined against Al giers. The British government has, it is said, stated to the Neapolitan government the necessity of arming against die Barbary powers. A London paper, *? July 2, says—“As a proof of the Stagnation of trade, we state, that one day last week there was not a single entry for import or export at the custom house in that city; a circumstance without a parallel in the annals of that extensive establishment. The Bann sloop of war captured in April last, on the coast of Africa, the Portuguese brigs Tamandva, and St. Antonio, having on board nine hundred slaves. The for mer had eighteen guns and eighty men, and fought the Bann more than an hour. The Colonial vessel of war had also taken, after an action, the French slave ship Bouis, of seven guns and thirty men—the former had 12 men lulled, and the latter 26 killed and wounded. * serious drain of the most useful part of the popula tion of the united kingdom! to the growing privation of .ts best hands in arts and {Manufactures, atid to the al most daily accumulating loss of the mechanical means of the country's prosperity, is *» iperiously directed. We have before us the Mew-York shipping list for one week, from the 5th to the 12th of last month. From this official document it appears that the following number of passengers reached that port from Ireland in that very short period:— Dido, frotn Newry, - * a Elizabeth, from Belfast, - .

Is it at length come to this, that man is to be the only safe and productive commodity for the carrying trade? If so, the article is unfortunate! \ in great abundance, and the supply has been considerable. It is computed that from Ireland alone the total number of emigrants has amounted to 6000 within the last twelve months. While this constant emigration must, in a national point of view, be the subject of painful regret, we have, howev er, to observe, that it is not confined to Great Britain and Ireland only. We find, in the same shipping list, that tiie Eugene, of Havre-de-Grace, brought over twenty passengers from France, among whom were several of ficers, and a member of the national institute. From Ireland ..... 151 England ..... 56 France ..... 22 229 MARKETS. Cotton.—The great depression that has taken place in the prices of cotton has attracted the attention of - the shipping houses, more especially as the late accounts from the continent are rather favorable as to the markets; speculators have also paid some attention to the article. The sales of last week are estimated at 1400 bags; 180 boweds 18 3£<?. ; 70 sea-islands 2s. 2 2-3r?. to 2s. 3d. The following commercial article is from one of the Paris papers: “Trade is very dull, and the same stagnation privails in all the markets of Europe. Within the last fortnight there have been considerable arrivals in our ports, chief ly at Havre and Bordeaux; but these arrivals have pro duced no reduction in the prices of the merchandise in consumption, because on the one hand the prices of such commodities, though already'very low, are not in pro portion with those goods in the hands of wholesale deal- ew; and that on the other hand, the prices of the goods being lower than those of Belgium and even of London, procure us orders from the Netherlands and Switzer land. It even would not be very surprizing were our warehouses, by the means of transport, hereafter to sup- pjy countries beyond the Rhufc* Liverpool, July 6. Just before the Duke of Wellington left Faris for Eng land he gave a great entertainment at his hotel, and it is said two barrels of gunpowder were found in the cellar, with a train, to blow the house and company to the clouds. It has since been said there were only a few pounds of powder—and that the object appeared to be conflagration and confusion, in order for plunder or as sassination; but even this story is not believed by some. On proroguing Parliament, 2d July, to August 24, the Prince Regent, in his speech, said “The assurances which I have received of the pacific, and friendly disposition of the powers engaged in the 'ate war, and of their resolu tion to execute inviolably '.he terms of the treaties which I announced to you at the opening of the session, pro mise the continuance of the Peace so essential to the in terests of all the nations of the world.” It is stated that 1600 men, women and children, had engaged passages in different vessels, at Newry, Derry, Dublin and Belfast, to cross the Atlantic; and that emi gration from Switzerland increased. The rioters of Ely who had incurred the sentence of capital punishment, had been executed. Under the pre text of procuring the raising of their wages, they had plundered the houses of their masters, &c. Stc. General Bonnaire had been degraded from the Legion of Honor; and his aid de camp, Mietton, executed on the plain of Grenelle. General Gilly had been tried as contumacious, and sentenced to death. The trial of the Grenoble insurrection abettors was progressing at Pans. M. Talleyrand had left Paris for the waters of Bourbon l’Aichambuud, for the benefit of his health. Montagne, June 18. The plot discovered here includes a few inconsidera ble persons! They had bulletins printed, in which they stated that a?? France was in arms against the king. One of the plotters raves continually about Athens and Rome. From the London Gazette, June 22. Foreign-Office, June 18. His royal highness the prince regent, has been pleas ed, in the name and on the behalf of his majesty’s lega tion, to appoint Gibbs Crawford Antrobus, esq. to be se cretary to his majesty’s legation to the United States of America. From a letter, dated Liverpool, July 6. Pearl ashes are selling at 52s a 54s, Pots 65s a 70s, and they will fall, no doubt, still lower.

The imports of cotton into Liverpool, from the 1st of January, to the 30th of June, 1816, amounted to 172,865 bags, of which 104,554 bags were from America. During the same period in 1815, the total number of bags impor ted was 98,476, of which 43,105 were from America.—Mew York Gazette. EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES. London, June 19. The continued and increasing emigration from this country to America becomes every day more alarming-. From the Mew York Columbian, August 10. Very late London papers are received at the Colum bian office, by the Pacific from Liverpool. In the house of commons, Lord Castlereagh, has been unable to divert the general sentiment of vengeance from the dey of Algiers. Mr. Brougham and others inveigh ed against the shameful criminalty of suffering the Tus can and Roman states to be ravaged by pirates, with whom they had made treaties under the sanction of England. “Lord Castlereagh described it as “a large question,'’' said that it “involved many important considerations,” aJluded to “extensive features,” begged leave to re- 1 the house of “the material contrariety of interests apd views mixed up with the subject,” and a good deal more to the same purpose'. Those who know the na- Uire- of official oratory, are well aware that all these long phrases may be mote shortly expressed by the word ’“no.” However, it must be gratifying to the reader, who regards the character of the country, to find his lordship standing single, while the cause of justice, hu manity and trup policy, was espoused by every other member who spoke We need only mention Mr. Wil- berforce, Mr* J. W. Ward, and sir Thomas Aucland.— Lord Cochrane beside warmly concurring in these views bore testimony to the abuse of our national character committed by government; for it seems his lordship con veyed on board his ship four years ago, “rich presents to the dey,” to the infamous pirate, whose forbearance, it seems, is purchased by the money of the British people. And he added, that the strength of the works at Algiers, the strong hold of those robbers, who thus lay us under contribution, is so trifling, that two sail of the line could destroy them in an hour. “Upon hearing this statement as to the presents,” Mr. Brougham took occasion to express his fears, that the re port might prove too well founded, which represented the government as h ving sent to the dey a letter written by the highest authority. No answer whatever was made, although if there be no foundation for this rumor, (which had also reached us from a different quarter,) not a mo ment should be lost in contradicting it. We call then upon the ministers, who tell what suits them through their official scribes, to say whether there was or was not such a letter sent to the chief robber in North Afri ca.” It is reported that marshal Soult had embarked at Bristol in England»for America, but we disbelieve it.— Soult knows the treachery of England too well to trust himself to “the most magnanimous of his enemies.” DISTURBANCES IN ENGLAND. “Things have come strangely round.”—Yes, they have. England who supported a war of envious aggression on the liberality and prosperity of every nation, is likely to have the poisoned chalice returned to her own lips. If it should allow the rest of the world a respite from Bri tish intrigues, it is devoutly to be wished that, she mav be obliged to quaff a dose of that poison she has so of ten presented to others. If penalty does not fo.low crime, the moral relations of the world might suffer re volution; and success alone (no matter by what villany obtained) be the proof of excellence. Let us hope that the heavens have in store, that time has in embrvon, that long desired blessing, the overthrow of the British oli garchy—the destruction of that perfidious junta, who, secure in their “sea girt isle,” have found pastime in the misery of other nations, sending war, intrigue and fa mine, and all the ministers of their wrath abroad, under an impious confidence, that such evils never could be retaliated upon them at home ! But, says the Dublin Evening Post, “things have come strangely round.”— One of the most prominent articles in the London prints is the disturbed state of England. If we did not know that Houston, and Littleport, and Yeovil, and Halstead, were places to be found in the map of the most favored part of Great Britain, we should, from the phraseology of the news-writers conclude, that they were talking of the disturbed districts in Limerick, Tipperary and Wa terford. It is not so, however. When we read of “the deep rooted sentiments of vindictive discontent” which we are told animate so large a portion of the peasantry, we must not infer that the writer is speaking of that in domitable ferociousness which is ascribed to the Irish poor. No; the writer is speaking of the best educated, the most moral and the most thinking people in the world. When we hear that houses are set on' fire and machinery destroyed, it does not follow that Irishmen committed the outrage. Even the paragraphists cannot pretend that these are the deeds of wandering Irish men. No such thing. Whole districts are disturbed— maintain regular contests with the armed yeomanry and the military—retreat regular!' fortify church yards and old castles—keep up a ga’ o fire,'and at length re tire in excellent order. It is ,t of Tipperary or Lime rick that we read, but of Wiltshire, Devonshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridge and Huntingdon. A meeting had been called at Maidstone to vote an address, &c. on the marriage of the princess Charlotte, but when the resolutions and addresses were proposed the people hissed and rejected them. “Give us work!” “Give us bread!” was the cry. At length, when the re solutions were separately put, “they were severally ne gatived by a great majority.” M. Geary made a speech; and Lord Camden held forth: the resolutions were put a second time, and “again decidedly rejected.” The Chronicle of June 25 expresses a hope that par liament would not be adjourned without taking some measures to control the career of ministers and relieve the country. ( “It is unquestionably true (says the same paper) that the prince regent was advised by his ministers to write a letter to the dey of Algiers; and which was transmit ted to him by sir Edward Pellew, now lord Exmouth.— The letter expressed sentiments of high regard for the dey, and stated it to be the mutual advantage of each na tion, that the harmony and good understanding which had so long and so happily subsisted between should not be disturbed; and concluded as the loving friend of his highness. The letter was accompanied by presents —pieces of velvet, of fine cloth, a pair of pistols, &c. In return for which, a loving epistle was received from the dey, together with an Arabian horse, and other presents. “Subsequent to this, his majesty’s ship Perseus, com manded by captain A’Court, conveyed out an English minister with a commission to all the B^cbary States for their ships and demolishing their arsenals. There i s / 6 other safety for mankind. And wfe are especially call-a upon, at this moment, as having concluded" treaties 1 baSely violated, to take this security for their future imcd behaviour.” Cobbet’s Register of June 22, contains his 17th lett er to the people of America, on emigration from England Speaking of the embarkation of farmers, &c. he say/ “The hive is all in commotion. The bees seem resolved no longer to support the drones and the wasps." q i London Courier, with his usual regard for truth, publish, es the following antidote tct emigration:— “Every thing is very dull in America. So great is the Stagnation of trade, that but very few of the merchant vessels are employed: Our countrymen who have t grated, are in a most deplorable state; upwards of a thoy. sand of them have applied to the British consul ath> v York to be sent home with passports as distressed Bnti/ subjects!” In Paris, (says the Morning Chronicle, June 25) ontl t occasion of the duke of Bei-ri’s marriage, heralds w e> sent before the processions, to teach the people what cries they should utter, Vive le lioi! was, of course, pre-emi nent; but the populace, in a perverse humor, aff ectinr obey, shouted Vive I'oie! ('live the goose. ) The Journal de Frankfort, of the 14tir May, gives *h e treaty of lord Exirfouth with the Barbaiy states which is subjoined the following paragraph: - “Behold then the hopes t oat Europe conceived at tht congress reduced to acknowledging itself tributary to sony na’ serable pirates in the Mediterranean! England, bv a ri /' could make all these thieves retire into their den’s; F n / land, which possesses Malta and the seven Islam.., U j i never wash away the disgrace of having ri’. • Vtn e chains of Europe.

Mr. Eastlake, of Plymouth, has painted for exLibiv a picture of Bonaparte, as he appeared on the goi, of the Bellerophon, when at Plymouth; arid considj- the opportunities afforded him, it niav he considered very extraordinary performance, he not having been lowed to approach the ship, but in a boat, at ne-n, cable’s length distance, and therefore it must h^\ c ’'re quired persevering attendance, and very acute obscr-.a. tion. After the departure of Bonaparte, in addition to the first sketch, Mr. Eastlake has introduced in tu i n. sent picture, the portrait of count Pi nitowski, who u., left behind, and also general Bertrand, in profile.

From the Motional Intelligencer. In the Intelligencer of July 25, I noticed, under t/ e article entitled Geu/Gaws, an account of the prince re gent’s investing Leopold with the Order of the Garter.
