From Europe. By an arrival at New-York, wc have English dates to the 9th Feb. There is no news of moment. The war in the Peninsula was considered as nearly at an end, as the rebel Portuguese had been signally de feated in a pitched battle by the Constitutional troops their lead er, the traitor Chaves, severely vounded, and the power of the disaffected so dispersed as to be no longer dangerous. The fight ing would appear to have been confined to the Portuguese them selves; as the British auxiliaries, sent to the assistance of the Re gency, had not been out of Lis bon, and would probably return home without firing a gun. The King of Spain, seeing to what ex tremities his friends, the ultra Portuguese, were reduced, had at length so far yielded to the im portunities of France and the re monstrances of England, as to is sue a pacific declaration, profes sing even friendly intentions; which, as the act of Ferdinand, is to be relied upon only so far as the fear of the consequences of viola ting it may restrain him. Ihe accounts from the Greeks and Turks are not later than our previous advices; but to our re gret, arc more particular as to the rumored dissentions ainonjr the former. In union there is strength but occurrences such as the muti ny described in an article which will be found among our extracts, would, if repeated often, ruin the bravest people on earth. Hostilities continue between the Russians and Persians; and it begins now to be conjectured that the ultimate views of the Czar arc not bounded by the limits of the territory oi the Shah. For a long time Turkey has been to Russia an object of desire but from se veral circumstances, and especial ly her holding aloof from the struggle of the G reeks, a suspi cion has arisen that her Court has been attracted by something more alluring, in another direction British India! First subdue Per sia, and the way would be open to Hindostan. This, it is well un derstood was a favorite idea of I Cotton had experienced a stea-j dy demand, and although there was no further reduction in prices, some very low sales had been made. Turpentine had improv ed considerably in price. The occasion of the advance in Tur pentine, is the facility of extract ing gas from it. Rosin has ad vanced 15 to 20 per cent, on ac count of some experiments of ex tracting oil. The following description of the Lying in State of the body of the late Duke ot lorkis given: "Long before the time allotted for the admission of the public, the streets leading to the palace were thronged so as to render them almost impassable, and the dense mass which filled the area was terrific, and the pressure in tolerable. Not a single person was to be seen who had not com plied with the Earl Marshal's or der of appearing in mourning. When . the doors were thrown open the rush was tremendous, and unfortunately, one of the bar riers intended to break the pres sure of the crowd, fell, and be tween 30 and 40 persons fell with it, when the consternation became of the must alarming kind; but 'etiquette. tup his power: which it would seem 4 to be reserved for the Emperor Nicholas, or some successor of his, to execute. The important question presents itself for the de cision of Great Britain, whether she will encounter the Giant of the North on Persian ground ; or, without complaint or resistance, suffer this intermediate territory to be overrun, this only barrier to Russian conquest to be removed, and then think of defending those rich possessions, so far off, and from their geographical position, beyond the protection of her na val power. Pet. Int. England.. Thcllrkish Parliament were summoned to meet for the despatch of business on the 8th, and it was supposed that one of the first subjects introduced, w ould be the modification of the Corn Laws. In the Manufactu ring districts, business vas repre sented to be slowly improving. France A curious question of I Ilydriot fleet had been pau uiueniig me service tor the son; but having spent all tk money, upon which their Vamil relied for subsistence onthoir turn, they became riotous. ' first demand was for live of vessels to use in a piratical exJ dition. This proposition was ,o remptorily refused by the ly maies, aim uiey managed in t following night to send all t vessels ofi' to Porn. Imt tt, i. raged at this disappointment, sailors took the Primates pril03 ers, guarded them in the hou$7r Conduriotti, and decreed to be. head them on the following in the market place, unlesstl4 paid them the sum of J ,(X)O,0(ji( piastres. In this situation l!e Primates contrived to send infor mation to Capt. Spencer, of the British frigate Talbot, then in the neighborhood of the island, in the hope that he could devise some means for their relief. Capt. landed, and various ineffectual at tempts were made to hush the mu tiny. The next steps were to tie. vise ways and means for the Pri. mates, and old Admiral INTiaulis to escape, during t he darkness of the succeeding night. But all their plans were averted by the watch fulness of the Ilydriots, excepting so far as related to Aliaulis and two of the Primates. A coninro mise was at last effected on the hns arisen at the French Court, which threatens se rious, and almost national conse quences. The Ambassador of the Emperor of Austria, M. d'Ap pony, has been instructed to re fuse to recognise the titles of the old Marshals of Bonaparte, deri ved from conquered places, now within the rule of Austria; and in stead, therefore, of addressing the Marshals, Soult, Oudinot, and Marmont, as Dukes of Dalmatia, Reino, andRausa, he calls them Dukes Soult, Oudinot, and Mar mont. The Marshals have com plained to the King, and threat ened the Ambassador. Old Ou dinot threatens to run his sword through the Austrian, and Soult sent him word, that "in whatsoev er place he meets with M. d'Ap pony, the Duke of Dalmatia icill have great pleasure in giving to M. d'Appony unequivocal jiroqfs of what he thinks concerning him." The whole subject had been brought under the notice of the Chamber of Deputies, and there is no saying what great events may from these trifling causes spring.

In the action of Coruche, about 11,000 of the insurgents were en gaged, Villa Flor having only 7,000. The victory was warmly disputed the whole day, when the landing of the English spread a panic amongst the insurgents, most of whom lied, and the rest went over to Villa Flor. The fu gitives reached the Spanish terri tory, where, in a tumultuous man ner, the Marquis dc Chaves was deprived of the chief command, which was given to Viscount Mon tealgra, who was able to collect about 1,000 men. The others dispersed in small detachments. current which was settincr to St. James' until the hour had arrived for prohibiting further admission. It was supposed, from a general calculation, that about 20,000 per sons entered the palace in the course of the day. "On the next day, notwithstan ding every precaution was used, a scene of confusion ensued equal to that of the preceding day. Shoes were again lost, bonnets smashed, and shawls dispersed in every direction; the screams of la dies to get out of the dense mass became appalling, and their suf ferings extreme. One female had part of her dress torn to shreds, and her person so exposed as to be painful to witness. An im mense number of shoes were nick ed up, sufficient on a moderate computation to fill two barrows; and alter the closing of the doors. many ladies were observed retur ning homewards in the snow with- (otit a shoe to their foot."
