LATE FROM EUROPE. The packet ship George Washington, at New York, brings London journals to the 2:d, and Liverpool to the lih of July. The last ail vi ces from Liverpool represent the Cotton market as uncommonly brisk, heavy sales, and prices generally higher. Political items follow. A London p iper of the 21st says: "There is a report in the city, that t lie Cholera has broken out in Bormondsey." This is a part of London adjoining the Thames, inhabited by persons connected with shipping, and is generally very dirty. The distentions in the French Cabinet, to which we alluded on the two last arri vals from France, have resulted in the re signation of the President of the Council and Mmisier of War, Marshal Soull, and the appointment of Marshal Gerard, as his successor. It is difficult to collect from the French papers, what are the actual causes of this change. By some it is said to be a difference of opinion on the subject of Algiers; by others, on the necessity of keeping up lite French army nt its present strength. It it be true, as is generally asserted, and as we think probable, that Louis Phillippo himself presides over the deliberations of his Cabinet and directs its policy, the change will no! produce any material results. The Republican party at present seems entirely silenced. Don Carlos, we think there can now be little doubt, has arrived in Spain, and from present appearances, his presence there will serve to kindle again the almost expiring flames of civil war. 11 is arrival was not known in Madrid. The next accounts we receive, will probably una ble us to judge more correctly of the con sequences of this extraordinary event. An article from the Gazette tie France announces, that a combined Fnglish and French fleet had passed the Dardanelles, and anchored before Constantinople. There are many circumstances, however, which render this account very improba ble, and we strongly incline to tin; belief that it is untrue. The papers speak of an abundant har vest in France and England. ENGLAND. London, July 22. The afT.iir of Don Carlos still keeps up a very lively ex citement here. Letters have been re ceived from him to day, dated Elisondo, 12th instant, in which he stales that he had then upwards of 12,0U0 effective men, and that the greatest enthusiasm in his favour prevailed among them. It is also said that a telegraphic despatch had been received in Paris on Saturday afternoon, stating that Don Carlos had arrived be fore Pampaluna, and that Gen. Uodil had retired. In general, this news was not credited on 'Change' though coming from a very respectable quarter; but the faci is, that the French telegraph itself, allowing the case to be as represented, is iu bad order for sending false news, and a counter report was iu circulation, that Don Carlos had been taken prisoner and shot. These contradictory statements were not by any means cleared up at the close of business. The expedition of Carlos must, however, soon bring Span ish affairs to some crisis. Jxdy 23. Much conjecture has been wasted to-day in the city, on the fact that two of the largest class of government steam-vessels, the Medea and Salaman der, were ordered round this morning early Irom Gravesend to Portsmouth, so suddenly, that the officers belonging to them were not at all to be found, and the order was it appears, to the whole of them perfectly unexpected. The more general supposition is, that they are about to proceed to the Mediterranean, but no thing authentic has transpired on the sub ject. FRANCIS. London, July 21. We have received by express the Paris papers of Saturday, together with a letter from our regular correspondent dated Saturday afternoon. The Monitcur publishes a royal ordi nance, thul Marsha golJjt ms resia0( the Prcsidencv of the Council of Minis ters and the Var Ministry, and that Mar shal Gerard has been appointed his suc cessor in b.,th. The cause of Marshal boult a resignation is abundantly discus sed, ami variously explained in the Paris jiapurs, the fact of it having been know n in Puris on the day before. The Mar shal iiad for some time disugreed with his colleagues on various questions ol policy, especially that of maintaining standing army, which the Marshal insis ted on increasing to 400,000 men. Fears had b een entertained, lest the new Cham ber of Deputies should object to the e nermous budget required by the .Minis ter of War. The latter, however, pre ferred resigning, to any change in his military arrangements. His loss, as War Minister, seems to be regretted by all parties, as no one in France was belter qualified than himself for the duties ol department. Beyond that, however, the change in the Ministry C3 seems to have produced but little sensa tion whatever iu Paris. SPAIN. Madrid, July 9. It is announced this morning in the Gazette, that the ceremo nials to be observed on the 24th instant, on the occasion of the opening of the session of the Cortes, has arrived at the Royal printing office from La Crania, I and as the sitting is described as La ses sion itegia par la apertura soft nine de ! las Cortes Generates del Reino, it is pre sumed that her Majesty intends to assist at the opening in person. It is reported at the palace, that orders have arrived there, to have the royal apartments pre pared for the Queen's reception on the 21st. The first commercial measure of the new Minister of Finance, has no tenden cy to strengthen or confirm the opinions entertained in foreign countries of the liberality of his administration. In spile of the more extended views of his Under Secretary of State, the late Inleudantof the Havana, he has yielded to the clamor of the corn growers of Castile, and has considerably altered the amount of differ ence in discriminating duties on the im portation of flour into Cuba, to the preju dice of the colonists, as well as the United States of America. According to the new tariff, the Span ish flour, in Spanish bottoms, is lo pay contradictory; but nothing appears cal ..ulatod to alarm the friends of King Utho for the stability of his government. He is said to be an amiable young man. Important from the West Indies. By late arrivals at New Haven from the West Indies, wo are furnished with im portant particulars in relation to the ope rations of the law for abolishing slavery. A terrible commotion is anticipated. The Herald states that during the week preceding the first of August, the Gov ernor General of the Windward Islands, proceeded to the different places within liis jurisdiction, for the purpose of inform ing the slaves of the nature and coudi lion of the change which was about to take place in regard to their civil and po litical relations. His plan was to visit the principal estates on the several isl ands to call around him, at each, the must prominent and intelligent portion of the slaves lo announce the conditions of their emancipation, and enforce upon their minds the principles of good order and submission to the law. At Mont serrat and Nevis, he was received Pas sively, with that sort of calmness, which precedes a storm; but at St. Kilts open demonstrations were given, not only of insubordination to the enactments of the abolition Parliament, but to the local au thorities and to the Governor General himself. On several of the estates mur murs were made, and on one, where an overseer attempted lo quell the distur bance, he was severely beaten by the slaves, in the presence of the Governor, who had to move off in some haste, to prevent beiriff treated in a similar manner. In consequence of these facts, an ad ditional number of troops were ordered from Barbadoes, together with a sloop of war. Thus things remained until the great day of emancipation, the 1st of Au gust. This was a day of jubilee, and fis ting and prayer according to the differ ent dispositions and circumstances of the parties concerned. The 1st was Friday on Saturday the slaves are nol requir ed to work Sunday, of course, is n hol iday.

Mr. p0pe was about 57 years of age. and has lei t a wile and ten children to mourn their sudden and un. expected bereavement. Also, in the same county, on Saturday nihf the 23d ult. Mr. James IViggins was killed' a free mulatto named Morgan. A misunder standing had previously existed between them anil on that night Mr. Wiggins with two other persons went to Morgan's cabin for the purpose of chastising him being refused admittance a plank of the door was knocked off through which Mr. Wiggins entered, when Morgan buried an axe in his side and leaving it there made his es cape. Mr. Wiggins drew the axe out himself and immediately expired he was a single man aged about 2G years. Morgan has been taken, dno" is now confined in jail. And, on Friday last, Erasmus G.9stondk in the town of Halifax, from pistol wounds re ceived in a rencontre with Mr. Arthur M'Dan iel, on the day of the last county election. The deceased had repeatedly threatened to shoot Mr. M 'Daniel, and on approaching him with a pistol in his hand was shot by the latter. Mr. M'Dan iel is a worthy, inoffensive citizen, and has giv en bail for his appearance at the next Superior Court of that county. The deceased was a young man without a family. arrested, punished with .stripes, and six of the principal ones sent oft to Bermuda. At Montserrat they were in open re bellion, and at Ievis, they were only re strained by the arrival of the Special Ma gistrates from England, who can have but a temporary influence upon the eon- duel of the slaves.

The people were much excited by the novel spectacle. The fleet subsequently left Smyrna on a cruise. The French fleet is expected daily to join that of Great Britain. There is great impatience expressed by the Turks to know when the combined fleets are likely to come to Constantino ple. The fortifications of the Dardan- elles are said to be in good repair, and the Turks have also taken care to have batteries along the Bosphorus placed on the best fooling; they have also troops encamped on the spot where the Rus sians were stationed last year. ITALY. Sicilian Consulate-General, Gibr al ter, June21. A dispatch has been re ceived from his Excellency the Admiral Don Giovanni Battiola Stasti, commanding-the Sicilian fleet, under date of the 26ih inst., slating that the misunderstan ding between the King of Sicily and the Emperor of Morocco, has been amicably adjusted. GREECE. The accounts from this country are FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1S34. Election Returns. The list is nearly com plete. The political complexion of the General Assembly is, however, variously represented The Fayelteville Journal (Jackson) speaks con fidently of the Administration having a majority of between 40 and 50 on joint ballot while, oa the other hand, the Salisbury Carolinian (Oppo sition) as confidently anticipates a Whig majori ty of at least 20, probably 30. The fact Is, that perhaps in one-third of the counties national politics was not introduced into the canvass, and the political preferences of the members elect will not be distinctly known until they assemble at Raleigh, and the customary "log-rolling" sys tem is put into operation. New Cottoti. The Petersburg Constellation of last Saturday says: "One bale new Cotton, made by Captain Wm. Moody, of Northamp ton, North Carolina, was received this day, and sold by Heath & Mason, at 142 fts per lb." New Bank.
