TtVO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
The fust sailing British ship Commerce,
Capt. Ritchie, arrived below yesterday, in
91 days from Greenock. A number of the
publishers of the daily papers, who were
down outside of tile hook, in the steam-bout
Connecticut, boarded the ship, and were
politely favored with a London paper of
the evening of tile 3d of June, and also
Greenock papers to the 7th of June, inclu
sive, and Glasgovv of the 8th, containing
London dates of the 4th, Paris of the 1st,
and Madrid of tile “29th May, being several
days later than before received Irom that
part of Spain. Whatever of interest is con
tained in these papers, will be found in the
summary which follows.
The most important part of this intelli
gence is, that Muncey has found matters so
secure in Catalonia as to break up his head
quarters at Gerona, amt advance with his
main body towards Barcelona ; that Mina,
with4001) men, was again on the. retreat for
the mountains south-west of Catalonia : that
the Royalists occupy., Toledo that the
French have advanced To Talavera ; that a
Strong hody of the Flinch army is advanc
ing upon Seville, probably for the purpose
of obtaining possession of the person of the
King ; and the rumor that the provinces of
F.sn amadura amt Andalusia have declared
against tile Constitution of the Cortes.—
There are also some reports of skirmishes—
at Vich, in Catalonia, and Talavera, in New
Castle, and some other affairs, in which the
Constitutionalists were defeated

Calamitous Fire.- \ distressing fire took

While 1,ion-street, Seven Dial-, Loudon.
V man and his wife, lodgers, were nvi-rtak

her arms, a nt her head was almost dashed
to pieces ; she is since dead. A (finale ludg-

persons in the street, who attempted to
catch it, tint failing, the poor infant’s thighs
were lirokon, and it soon died. The mo

dreadfully injured, that she expired in a
short time.

foreign ambassadors, came to 8,208?. (up

tons, with an < r ngine of U0 liurxo power, is
to start from London for Corunna, Lisbon,

fitted up with a grand cabin iu tbu most mag
nificcnt style.
Lonpon, June 4.
Ourletters from Paris betray strong symp
toms of anxiety for the operations against
Mina. Moncey’s demand for reinforcement,
is not at all liked in Paris.
Much is said about an arrangement, and
negociations, but if the best private advices
from Spain, are to lie believed, we say with
out hesitation that the Spaniards will not
concede one jot, nor negoeiute at all until
the invaders retire to their own territory.
A letter fiom Paris, states that the Duke
of Angouleme has ordered this arrest of
licssieres, who is to be tried for a violation
of Ids instructions.

LATEST FROM SPAIN.
By the sclir. Marion, arrived from
Havana, at Charleston, dates from old
Spain to the 9th of June last, are re
ceived. What is worthy of remark is,
that there is nothing noticed ol the affair
of Abisbal, which is found so consideia-
ble a subject in our lust extracts from
English and French papers, although the
entry of Madrid is mentioned. The
present news is favourable to the Span
ish cause, which continues successful
against its enemies. The Gazette and
Courier contain translations, of which,
we have availed ourselves in the fol
lowing summary :
The king was still at Seville, and we
see no indications of any attempt on his
part to imitate the rash experiment of
Louis XVllh, when iu a similar situa
tion.
The important news of the occupa
tion ofMndrid by ttie French was receiv
ed at Havana, on the 7th ult. by an ar-
Tlii-se, j rival from Saint Andero.
The victory of Mina’over the French
army in Catalonia, is stated to have been
most glorious. Illuminations and salvos-
of artillery took place at Santona, on the
27th of May, in consequence ot" the suc
cesses of that general.
Morillo issued a patriotic proclama
tion to his soldiers at Vigo, on the 3d of
June. So far Irom flinching, the Span-1
iards appear more determined than ever. J
“ We iiave sworn (says this general) to
maintain the Spanish constitution—the
king too, has sworn, and our oaths shall
not be, taken in vain.”
By a private letter from Madrid, da
ted, 30th May, the most deplorable ac
count is given of the excesses committed
in that city by tbe French and Spanish
guards, on the person and property of
those who were, known to be favorable
to the constitution. They had demolish
ed the houses of those persons who had
served iu the. Constitutional Militia, and
committed the worst species of violence
on the unhappy females. To live there
is represented to lie the same as living

that papers had u(-[aih|e (q describe the barbarities of the
h Canaille and the French solilie-
ihat event, there is a slton
that the island of Cuba, would declare
itself independent. This language was
openly held at the last sitting of the
Ayuntamiento ; at which the Gov. Urn.
Y'lves, had taken great umbrage, and
evinced much uneasiness. At this meet
ing the Governor was called upon to an
swer explicitly whether lie would sup
port the Constitution of 1-812. His an
swer was ambiguous and evasive—“ that
he would he true to his oath.” This
reply was by no means satisfactory to flic
City Authorities, who have sioce mani
fested a total distrust of the liberal sen
timents of (lie Governor.
On the evening of the 12th inst. all
the regular troops at Havana went into
quarters. The Governor will doubtless
endeavor to keep the Hand to Spaiu leg
the present contest there result as it
may.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
’ New-York, June 10.
The line ship Panther, Capt. Bennett,
arrived Iasi evening from Liverpool
whence she sailed on the 10th ult. but
the editors of the Gazette have only re
ceived London papers to the evening of
the 7th ult. with Lloyd’s Lists and Liver
pool papers to the 10th. These papers
furnish Paris dates to the 6th, on which
day it was reported on ’Change that lho
Cortes had declared Abisbal a traitor—
that tbe King was to be sent to Cadiz
without delay—and that the French ar
my iu Catalonia was in a critical situation.
A majority of the Grandees of Spain had
presented an address to the Duke d’Ao-*
gouleme, iu which they congratulate him
on the occupation of Madrid. The Lon-
t don Courier of the 7th, iu noticing the
contents of the Paris papers, observes,
“ They contain further detaijs of the o-
perations of the French army„ but these,
details arc deprived of much of their va
lue by tbe course which events have ta
ken ; for a-c can state upon high, author i:
ty that the tear in Spain may be consider
ed as at an end. The only fear that is
now entertained is of the re-action of
the violent despotic party.
The King’s health was considerably
restored, and the Courier remarks that
his appearance and manners at tbe'Coun-
cil on the Ulli were such as to impart the
highest' gratification to those who wit
nessed them. At this meeting of the

Having been requested by mai-y ge-.tlr.
however, are French accounts, the want ol
fidelity in which is well known.
Some of the London papers exprp«s an
opinion, that much anxiety prevails in Paris,
and not a little disappointment at the aspect
of the war thus far. They state that letters
have been received in London by the most
eminent Spanish houses, and from a mem
ber of the Spanish Ministry, which express
the most decided determination not to iu go
tiate till their invaders quit their soil.
The Duke of Angouleme lias addressed a
proclamation to the Spanish people, very
k: dly assuring them again tli it France is
not jl^iar with Spain ; anil that tin- French
army tias come among them as auxiliaries
to aol Ihe nation in restoring her altars, lilier-
ating her monarch, and re establishing jus-
tic i, order, and peace. He adds that the
moment has arrived for establishing a Re
g.- u-v, which is to administer the govern
ment, and organize a regular army until the
King shall he re -tored.
Some supplies for the army have been
cut off by the. Guerillas ; and it is said that
Donnadieu’a prisoners having attempted to
revolt, were a,, put to the sword. Morillo
is reported to Iiave joined the French ; and
the Grand Inquisitor to have been ini iteil
back to Madrid, and to liis “ functions.”
Under the til;

from France, stating lliat the ad-
News from Seville hatflisep received
to the ‘Toth ult. The disorganization'
ubicli was pretended to have reigned in
that town, did not exist—tranquility pre
vailed in that city, and the Cortes peacea
bly continued llieir legislative labors.
The following was received yesterday
front Buyouue :
“ Bayonne, May 29.
The letters brought by the army cou
rier from Madrid not being yet deliver
ed, we can only speak of the reports iu
circulation here. Opinions are very
much divided respecting the Council of
Caslile, cotivoked by ihe. Duke of Angou-
leme. Some persons, who arc well ac
quainted with almost all the Ministers of
thutCouncil, think that scarcely a fourth
part of them will comply with the'Prince's
iiivitaliou i who, however, will supply
their places by other persons, fiietnls of
the ancient system. It is thought that the
decrees of this Junta cannot have the
force of laws, unless they are supported
by (tie French arms. A report is cur
rent here, that it is not intended to con-
tine to bpaiu tile advantages of a new
Government, but that Portugal is to par-1
ticipate in them. In support ot this no |
lion, it is affirmed, that the Patiiarch of
Lisbon, who has long resided here, is
going to leave us, to precede the, Portu
guese Junta, which will meet first at
Valladolid : vve can say nothing to this
news except that we yesterday saw thi*
Prelate pay unusual visits, which are
said to have been for the-purpose of ta
king leave.
Since yesterday reports have been cir
culated affirming that Gen. Donhadieu
was completely beaten by Mina on the
19th, and afterwards taken prisoner at
Vich, and that Gen. Curia! had been de
feated in four successive engagements,
winch took place up to the 23d.

it necessary to retire from Madrid, it
must be towards Arragon, (that is if the

Portugal lias remained tranquil, for sonic

Gen. Sepulveda had been one of the fn:t

He effected it chiefly by bribing theisol-

There was there one regiment.
They immediately joined the cause of the
King, forced the inhabitants to illuminate
and the fiiars to fing the b ii, in tvlucli they
readily joined. On the Co! owing day they
forced their officers to march with them,
under the command of a corporal, to meet
tile King, as he was expected in Lisbon or;
the 4th.
There was a general depression of busi
ness, and those who had been violent in
promoting and assisting in the Constitution,
w ere afraid of their lives, as tin- King’s party
were altogether the rabble, who were led
by the priests and the soldiers, who did as
they pleased, their officers having no com
mand of them. But there had been no dis
turbance, a- tbe people all quietly submitted,
having no means of di fence.
On the troops leaving Lisbon, to join the
k ; ng, the different prisons were left unguard
ed, ami even the doors open. There are in
the different prisons about 3,000 convict-.
io one of the prisons in particular, St.
George’s Castle, the prisoners, to the mini
her of 800 bad by some means, supposed
by the- assistance of tile soldiers, got into tin
prison about 300 ball cartridges, with arms,
and had a regular laid plan to burn Lisbon,
and all the merchants and banks, but lortu
(lately the city guards discovered it, in tiim-j
to secure them.
On the Sd of June, one regiment marched
into Lisbon with the young Prince at the";;'
head, on whom they had.cnnfc.rred the hon
orary title of Commander in Chief. The
town of Lisbon was quiet ; feiv respeclrble
people to he seen, and only the rabble, and
soldiers shouting Flru cl lie;/. The Cortes
had adjourned mi thr-. 2d, and an embargo
had been laid on all vessels at Lisbon. On
the GtIi, the King, accompanied by the
tl n-en, who toek an active part in his re
storation, entered Lisbon, anil was received
with off the honour that could he expected.
When forced, the. King issued a procla
mation to the people, informing them, that
they should again have a Constitution, hot
modified. The revolution i* very unpopu
lar with the higher and middle classes of the
people, and many will leave the country a
soon as practicable. They fear and say,
that it is only the beginning of the levolu
timi; that a number of the provinces will
.not submit. The farmers are all fi-r tile
Constitution, and where it will end, no one
knows.—There was very little said about
Spain, and it was reported, that the rovolu
linn ill Portugal would i. hire the Spani ;
cause. The embargo hail been raised at
■boo un the bth of June.

day we'gather under one flag, we all r.
down at the same tabh-, we all pal take oft! -.

The assertion of a former I’l'esid- i.t - ie:;.
in truth to be realized, “ we have vailed I y
different names brethren of the same urine: ■
pie, vve are all Federalists, we are nil li pub
\SV are all now rt-aciy to ask each
other, why we have been divided ? To an
swer this question fully Would detain us loll
long, and could lead (n oo ) . vble reauiL
To illustrate iffy r.: ..lir.ivut, il will b>- in-
vessary to make u brb f inquiry into tbe ex
isting state of parties. Heretofore many
causes of division have existed, viz.—The
principles of government a? liev t loped io our
Federal Constitution—The French Revolu
tion—Questions growing out of our great
national interests; particularly file cummer-
rial, and the degree of protection which iliat
interest should receive, involv ing the , sl.ff-
lishment of a navy, and the degree of protec
tion to our manufacturing interests.
All il.fiVrencrs nf opinion as to the merits
of the Federal Constitution have cea:t-d ,
time ha - tested its excellence.
The French Revolution has become the
property of the historian. Opinions on that
question are speculat'd - rr. r, !y ;—as it rcs-
I peels the existing rontr-ds in Europe there,
is throughout our whole na'.i,<n an unparal
leled unanimity nf opinion. 'Then- is not an
individual in Amtrica whose heart iS’so cold,
and who i ‘jo I,Ft to principle, as not to feel
tIn- warmest.'interest in the success of Spain
and of tire Greeks.
O tr coinmrrcial int'-re t is plan ,1 under
the strongest proteeffon wi i, h the nation
can give; a system of protection by a pow
erful naval t tabliahment has ,n it-v progress
reached a point where nbu-idonmunt be
comes impossible. The pel ple will hau-a
navy. A system oCsea-hoaid defence is laid
duv.n, and is io progress, by wSell all our
important poinlson the Atlantic and on the .
Gulf of Mexico are to he strongly fortified,
md which equally regard* the safety and
defence of the Easter.,, Middle, Senile rr.
.md South-Western States. On the North
ern ami Western frontier, strong poets me
established, giving tn the people ii-hahiting
there a degree ,.f security, greater jn-rh.-ps,
than is given to those on the ocean. Althn’
some differences of opinion may exist as to
the degree of protection which the manufac
turing interest requires; yet, taie
protection is settled. Our general system
of national policy is now developing advan
tages so great that it never will be refit,-p...di
ed.
The only difference,'then, in this nation, is
about men, and that is caused prim-ip ,!!y y
local considerations. Several diff> rent can
didates for the high office , f President Ie.hs

lously-urged. Among tiie.-c there is an E t
