ENGLAND. The West India Emancipation, or Co ionial Slavery question, had been postpo ned until the 23d April, when it was to be brought forward in the louse of Lords; but we are not told in what shape. Tho "Irish Enforcing Bill" was still struggling its way by inches, through the committee of the whole in the Commons. Five clauses only were disposed of dur ing the sitting of the 18ih. In the course of the debates on the bill, the Ministry have been continually losing -strength. The minority has doubled its numbers since the debate began; and among the deserters are some members whose votes must be considered a pointed censure. The English petitions against the mea sure are unusually numerous, and it is creditable to Scotland that there was not one petition in its favor, although the Scotch members nearly all voted for it. FRANCE. Bergeron and Benoit, charged with making an attempt on the life of tin1 King on the 19th November last, have been tried and acquitted. The distribution of the medal for ser vices rendered to the sick of the Chole ra, has created much dissatisfaction. Physicians who had distinguished them selves by constant and devoted attention to the Cholera patients, hiwy been passed by, whilst the medal has been decreed to persons no better entitled to it than the con of Louis Philippe. No other reason is assigned for the neglect of so many zealous members of the faculty, than their honorable refusal to denounce the woun ded, who committed themselves to their care, in the mouth of June. SPAIN. A Paris letter states that an express had arrived there from Madrid, with in telligence of the promulgation of a de cree by which Don Carlos with his fami ly were to quit Spain within three days. The influence of the Minister, M. Zea Brmudez, is stated to be on the decline, and it was expected that he would shortly be compelled to retire from office. Eve ry thing at Madrid announced the ascen dancy of liberal principles. Letters frum Madrid state that the Convention of the Cortes, was to take place in the beginning of April. It is said that the revocation of the Salic law, and the recognition of Uir South Ameri can Republics, will be debated in a se cret committee. PORTUGAL. We rejoice to be able to state that the news from Portugal to the 2d instant, in clusive, is such as to remove, for the pre sent at least, some of the gloomy appre hensions created by former direct, though vague, intelligence from that quarter. Oporto, March 4. This morning at day light, after bombarding the town through the night, the troops of Don Mi guel made a grand attack in the direc tion of Cordello and St. John de Foz. A diversion had been made in the vicini ty of Agoa Ardente, but it soon became perceptible that the main object of at tack was towards the Codello line. The troops of Don Miguel were completely repulsed, and it is supposed that they have sustained a considerable loss; up wards of 600 are said to have been kill ed, but credence cannot be given to all the reports current in the town. Don Pedro's troops have comparatively sus tained little loss 100, it is said, is the amount of killed and wounded on the constitutional side. Supplies of provi sions, ammunition, and troops, are dai ly expected. TURKEY. Important advices have been received at Vienna, by a Dragoman, despatched from Constantinople by the Internuncio . at the desire of the Reis Effendi. It ap pears that the French Admiral, Roussin vvith the concurrence of ihe EnMish Charge de Affaires, Mr. Mandevillcrhad prevailed on the Porte to accept the me diation of France, between the Sultan and the Viceroy of Egypt, and that a treaty has been signed by the Frenchman and the Ottoman minister, by which the Porte cedes to the Egyptians the whole coast of Syria from Tripoli to the bor ders of Egypt, with a tract in the interior, which includes Jerusalem, (but not Da mascus.) Aleppo, Scanderoon, and the older con quests of the Egyptian army, are to be re stored to the Ottoman Porte. A messen ger had been despatched to Ibrahim Pa cha with intelligence of this Convention, and a declaration that if he advanced far1 her into Asia Minor, France will con sider Egypt as her enemy. Little doubt is entertained but that this message will soon stop Ibrahim in his career, and that - his father will not hesitate to make peace on the terms proposed. The Russian fleet, which had arrived at the mouth of the Bosphorus, being no longer wauled, will return to Sebastopol. GREECE. The accounts in the papers from Greece, describe the arrival of KingOtho as having had a most beneficial effect on the various parties in that new kingdom. Several of the Chiefs are said to have summoned their adherents to lay down their arms, & take the oath of allegiance. ITALY. Naples, Feb. 22. We learn that a commission, consisting of three mer chants and several members of the Con sulta has been appointed, which is to ex amine a plan proposed by the United States of North America, for a treaty of commerce between those States and the Two Sicilies. hundred and forty day. Great political excitement appears to exist in this prov ,Mrh i said to be approaching to a state of anarchy and confusion. SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1833. JA letter has been received in this place from VVadesboro,f Anson county, announcing the death on the 18th inst. of Lieut. James II. Cooke, a native of this county. YV gather the following particulars of this distressing event from the Fayetteville Observer of last Tursday: Melancholy. A gentleman in VVades boro1 writes to us, that on Thursday eve ning lust, a stranger arrived at one of the hotels in that place, who died on the fol lowing day from the effects of laudanum iziven him bva nerson who came there in C7 J 1 his company. The verdict of the jury of inquest was, tits "Death was caused by laudanum given to him by Thomas Oot en, but not with an evil intention." On examination of his papers, the deceased was found to be Lieut. James H. Cooke, of the U. S. army. I. - J r . i Kingdom or tin SOUTH AMERICA. . Buenos Atres.

The Secretary of Foreign relations had addressed a note to Mr. G ore, the British Charge d'Af faires, protesting against the occupation of the islands, and asserting the determi nation of the Argentine republic to main tain its right to possess them.

The following is there Mr. Van Buren to the Committee of the Wilmington meeting: Washington, April 2, 1833. Gentlemen: I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter, transmitting the proceedings of a meet ing, of a portion of the citizens of Wil mington, and beg leave to return, through you, my sincere thanks for their kind congratulations, and for the honor con- terred upon me, in the expression of their confidence. It is very possible, that my best efforts to make a suitable return, for the gene rous support which was given to me, by my fellow citizens of North Carolina, at a very critical period of my public life, may prove unavailing; but they may rest assured, that there can be no circumstan ces, under which I can cease to entertain the most grateful recollection of their kindness.

From no quarter, were such senti ments more naturally to be expected than from North Carolina, and by no State could they, with more propriety be ivowed. The last but one to enter the Union, there has been no period in its istory, in which she has stood second to any, in efficient and magnanimous ex ertions to sustain it.

To G.Holmes and P.W. Fanning, Esq. Conflagration of ihe Treasury Office, We lay this morning before our readur an official expose of the circumstance touching the recent fire at Washington. The number, of valuable papers which have been saved, is not only a subject of congratulation, but of surprize. There is scarcely an example of so remarkable a preservation, effected amid so much hazard, and in so short a space of time. The safety of all the papers connected vvith the great Accounting Departments is peculiarly fortunate. Too much ere dit cannot be given to those persons, who were concerned, for their great exertions We are assured by observers on the spot, that they had never witnessed, on any oc casion, any thing like the perilous and fearless efforts that were made on that night to save the public papers. This Cabinet investigation so far has not been equally fortunate in tracing nut the causes of the conflagration. Tho President has displayed his usual energy n the occasion and the members of his Cabinet, particularly the Secretary of the Treasury, at whose request the examina tion was commenced, have shown the greatest zeal in the service. The result, however, has not yet corresponded with their exertions. But it is said, that the investigation has not yet been abandon ed and that neither the President, nor the Heads of Department, nor the Offi cers of the Treasury, will rest satisfied, until they have unravelled every clue, which may offer itself, for the explana tion of the mystery. A hundred reports have been caught up and circulated upon the occasion, as idle as such rumors ge nerally are. The vilest suspicions are said by certain scribbling partizans, to have been expressed by officers of the government as to the Bank of the United States being concerned in the fire. We cannot learn, however, that any such sus picions were entertained by them and they are now only attributed to them, for the odious purpose of bringing them into contempt. But we understand, that there is still some ground of suspicion, ye in another direction. The public press has not yet hinted at it. These new whis pers have reached us, which it would be improper to disclose, until their correct ness has been rigorously investigated. All that we can now say is, that these touch not the character of any high officer, whose name is familiar to the pub lic ear. Richmond Enq. flThe Treaty with Russia is the sixth, if not the seventh foreign treaty success fully negotiated under the auspices and instructions of Gen. Jacksonand his pre sent Cabinet. It was accomplished by our worthy fellow citizen the Hon. James Buchanan, and transmitted to this coun try by John Randolph Clay, Esq. the young and talented Secretary of Lega tion to Russia. In a few days it is pro bable that Mr. Clay will return to St. Pe tersburg with the ratifications of our gov ernment, where he will probably remain as Charge des Affaires for which he is well fitted in every respect, should Mr. Buchanan, as it is likely he will, be re called in the course of the summer.
