LATEST. FROM EUROPE.
By the new packet ship Virginia, which
sailed from Liverpool on the 9ih June,
Liverpool papers to ihe 3ih, ami London
to the 7th, have been received at N.York.
The news from the continent is not of
particular moment. The affairs of Hol
land and Belgium have ceased to ex
cite much attention. The -elections in the
latter country have terminated in favor of
the Catholic party. The conditions of
peace between the Ottomans and the
Egyptians have been finally adjusted,
and the Pacha's troops have been order
ed to withdraw from the Sultan's domin
ions. There has been nn affray in Pa
ris, but of little importance. Some revo
lutionary symptoms have been discover
ed in the South of France, connected
with the affairs of Italy, and implicating
the Polish refugees. There are likewise
fresh rumors of discontent in some of the
German States. From Portugal, as will
be seen below, the advices are not so fa
vorable as we could wish they were, to
the cause of Donna Maria.
ENGLAND.
The political intelligence from Eng
land is of more commanding interest to
say nothing of the troubles yet existing in
Ireland. The question of rechartering j
the Bank of England, was brought for-!
ward in the House of Commons by the!
Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 31st
of May. The project of the Ministers
for renewing the charter, was acceded to;
and on Wednesday the 5th of June, a
kneeling of the stockholders was held to
take the proposition of the Government;
into consideration. After considerable
discussion, during which Mr. Young was
the only proprietor who made any seri
ous objection to the plan, the question
was put, and the motion, that the Direc
tors should be empowered to accept the
propositions of Government, was carried
by a large majority, only about half a do
zen hands being held up against the reso
lution. The favorable result of this im
portant question has given a fresh im
pulse to the commercial and moneyed j
affairs of England. Confidence being
restored, the funds rose, money was
plenty, and business was moving on with
Lealthy action. The American mer
chants will be glad to learn that Cotton
in Liverpool had risen three-eights of a
penny, and that upwards of forty-seven
thousand bags had been sold during the
first week of June. We trust, however,
that speculation in this country will pro
ceed with caution. Remember the fatal
year of 1825!
The proceedings in Parliament, of
which we have given extensive sketches
below, will be found highly interesting.
On the 3d of June, the Duke of Welling
ton brought forward a motion for nn a'd-lr-ss
to the King, calling on his Majesty
to enforce a strict neutrality in relation
to Portugal, and charging the ministers,
-ever since they had been secure in their
places, with pursuing a course injurious
to the country. After a long debate the
motion was carried. Contenjs, 83; Non
Coutents, 63; Majority against the Min
isters, 20.
The discussion in the Lords gave rise
to animated and important debates in the
Commons, upon the same subject. Im
mediately after the defeat of Ministers
in the Lords upon the Duke's motion was
known, Col. Davie gave notice of a mo
tion for Thursday night (June Gth) that
an address should be presented to his Ma
jesty expressive of the unqualified ac
knowledgements of the House;, for the
conduct purged by his Majesty's minis
tors with respect to the affairs of that
country. A debate followed of great
length, and of the most interesting char
acter. Lord Palmerston declared that
while ministers held their seats, they
would not depart from the course hither
to pursued. The motion was brought
forward on the Gth accordingly, and after
a most fiery debate, in which both sides
spoke several hours, the motion was car
ried, viz: For the motion, 361; Against
it, 98; Majority for Ministers, 2G3.
The two legislative bodies are thus
again at variance, and the ministerial pa
pers .threaten that if the Lords continue
to oppose the measures of ministers, they
will resort to a large nreation of new
Peers. Whether the King would give
his consent to such a measure may, how
ever, he nnestirmnd' rmrtieularl V it the
, - , , j
aversion he evinced to it, in the case ot
the Reform Bill, be considered.
The discussion on the slave question
came up in the House of Commons on
the 3d. Mr. O'ConucIl opened the. de
bate, and spoke at great length in favor
of immediate emancipation. Lord San
don followed, and for the purpose of har
monising, was also in favor of immediate
emancipation; but offered an amendment,
increasing the grant to the proprietors of
slaves to twenty millions, and a loan of
ten millions. The Chancellor thought
the sum too large. After much discus
sion, Mr. St mlcy said, he congratulated
the country and the world that the fiat
had gone forth; that the abolition of sla
very was inevitable; and, that the matter
was now reduced to the matter of com
pensation. I hehsst resolution was then

It appears that the colliers in the
neighborhood of Valencienes, to the num
ber of five thousand, had tumultuously
assembled and commuted great excesses.
Ten thousand troop had been marched
upon iliat district for the purpose
quelling the insurrection. It was appre
hended that tranquility would not bo res
tored without bloodshed.
The Chamber of Deputies has made
considerable progress with ihe Budget,
and a prorogation is spoken of. Wo ex

honor to the community in which it has
