I LATE FROM ENGLAND. lU The most important political news is the establishment of a jegency in the isl- . and of Terceiia, by the Marquis de Pal niella, by the authority of Dor Pedro, Emperor of Brazil in the name pTthe ln- . fant Queen t)onna Maria de Gloria, and .4' to sustain her cause against the usurper r of the Portuguese crown. I u ; French papers say much on he state and prospects of thefFrenchexpedltion t against Algiers. ,The prevalent ..opinion . is in favor of its success, especially since accounts, have .been received that the Pa chas of Egypt have been determined to co-operate with the r rench. It is stated Natvthe jEffVPtian troops; have invaded t ipofrind taken four towns, , and tliat the Pacha has sent a squadron to sea, to act with the fleet about to, sail ifrom Tou- fflosota.

I am only able to say that the clouds seem to thicken over this country. If the mad project bf a separation is sanctioned the country is ruined, and every foreign agent will be obliged to withdraw.
