By the arrival of the packet ship Colum bia, Captain Ungers, in 87 days from lo ve, pool, wn have received our regular tiles of English papers—London dates and Lloyd’s Li-ls to the itilh June, and Liverpool to the fust of July, inclusive. The ltuyal Assent was given on the 24th r.f June, to the West India and American Intercourse Bill and tin* Colonial Trade Bill, by c.iniinissinn to tin* L ud Chancellor, the Earl of-Shaftesbury and Lord .Melville. Ilis M ijesty lias determined that lie will visit neither Scotland nor the continent dot ing the present Summer. it was expected that the prorogation of Parliament would take place on the tirsl We *k in August. On the 2 It It June the committee of sup ply in the House of .Commons reported £1 00,000 Cor the leisW public works. Tin* report Was agreed to. Pursuant to previous notice, Mr. Brough am rose, and after a long and eloquent eprecli, occupying nearly li dose eo minis, on the subject of the crown, concluded hi** observations by submitting to the House the following resolution. “That tile influence now possessed by the crown is unnecessary for maintaining its constitutional prerogatives, destructive to the independence nf Parliament, and in consistent with the well government of the State.” Lord Londonderry replied in an able speech, and moved as an amendment, “ that the other orders nf the day be now read.” Mr. II. G. Bennett, and several other members expressed their sentiments on the subject, when the House divided as follows: for the motion of Mr. B. 101, against it £10 —majority 110.

It was stated by Sir J. Newport, in the House of Commons outlie 27th June, in support of a motion lo extend the grant lor the relief of the Irish sufferers beyond 100,000/. that fifteen persons in one parish had perished by famine; tiiat twenty-eight more were past all hopes of recovery, and that one hundred and twenty persons in the same parish were ill from fever produc ed by want. In another parish there had been found only food for two days for the people ; and the parochial Minister had ac tually prepared bis parishuners for their inev itable death accoidmg to the rites of his parlicidar Communion. A Manifesto has been circulated at Mad rid, which presents the views of the Span ish Government for conciliating its interests With those of the other European nations, and with the true advantages of the Span ish American Provinces. It begins by ascribing the fatal separation vv nidi has tak en place between the members of the great Spanish family to the extiaordinary situa tion to which Spain bad been rednee ti by foreign invasion. It announces that the Kmg has sent pacific Commissioners lo the different South American Governments, to renew the connexion between (be two Countries on (lie grounds “ of common ad vantage.” It denounces foreign interfer ence as extreme injustice, and rails upon all nations who possess ultra-marine colonies, to -consider whether it lie their interest In encourage colonial insurrection.

A most horrible event took plare at Con stantinople about the 25th Of May, ill the execution, or most barbarous murder, til a great number nf the Greek Hostages, by order of the Porte. It isstaid that this hor rible transaction w ill put a stop the unfinish ed iiegocialunis with Turkey, and that or ders have been sent to the troops tin the Turkish frontier to delay their march until it is known what feeling may be executed in Russia.

Dr. Aires gives a very favorable account of the present state of the colony—the people are contented and happy—the country healthy and fertile, and a few of the colonists who were disposed to ho unruly and disaffected, have retired to the British settlements. The natives ace very friendly to the colony, and all its concerns are in the most prosperous condition. Two of the colonists, Joseph Blake fa Zera Hall, both of Philadelphia, have returned to take out their families.

The Riilish Government established in the Ionian Islands tire we suspect, justly chargeable with preventing the Greeks from receiving succour from those disposed to aid them, and w ith us ing all efforts short of actual war, to ar rest the progress of Grecian emancipa tion. Upon this subject Sir James Mackintosh when nrging the postpone ment of the Alien Bill in the House ol Commons on the night of the 14th of June, used some very onergetic expres sions ; but we are sorry to say the mo tion w as lost. Of the Ionian Islands he observed, the term protector which the English Government bad adopted meant something less than “ Sovereign ; it did not imply commands and coercion in our favour, and yet the law of neutrality, as. it was called, was as strictly enforced in those Islands as it had ever been in ;n, ol I hose i calms. 1 he I Ion. and Learned Member nexl adverted to the conduct of llte Lord High Commissioner (Sir T.

It was impossible to say w hether, after a twelvemonth of encouragement, -he would not again de- serl them ; and, by leaving them to their fate, give rise to a rnnssacre similar to that occasioned by her perfidy in 1770. Upon all these points his feelings were strong hut his information was deficient, i lie Hon. and Learned Member, alter some, other forcible and eloquent otarr- rations in behalf of the Greeks, which we regret a want of space prevents us from giving, concluded by saving—“ The Greeks implore your compassion in the name of Socrates ; they beseech your assistance iu the language ol Christ.” [Eusten 11.
