From England. London pa
pers to the 14th nit. and Liver
pool to the 16th, have been recei
ved at New-York. They are
principally filled with the melan
choly details of the' death of Mr.
Canning, the king's prime minis
ter: a loss which particularly at
this time must be severely felt and
deplored by the British nation,
and it is, we fear, irreparable; but
it is also a loss that will be felt by
the whole civilized world. Mr.
Canning has left three children;
two sons and a daughter, the
Marchioness of Clanricarde. His
eldest son is a Captain in the Na
vy; his voungest, Charles, is a stu
dent at'Eton. Mr. Canning died
at Chiswick on the 8th of Aug. in
his 57th year. His disorder was
inflammation of the intestines and
gangrene, attributed principally
f.o intense attention to his oitieial
duties.
Lord Goderich having received
his Majesty's commands to re
model the ministry, will of course
fill the office of First Lord of the
Treasury; and it is said that Mr.
Herries will be Chancellor of the
Exchequer.
"Greece. Under the head of Vi

surrender of the Acropolis dis
couraged the Greeks. The con

Guatemala, Jane 13. On the

the morning of the 18th, an en

were finally compelled to retreat
to Santa Anna, with the loss of
seventy killed, besides wounded
and missing. The battalion of
Ghiquinila withdrew from our ar

augmented the number of. deser

were fixed at Cuajiniquilapa.
Mexico, July 20. The people

Com. Porter. The New Or

setting forth that he has a right to
recruit men in the U. States for
foreign service. He issued a

war which were under his com

Portugal. The Lisbon papers
contain an account of the dismis

pointment of a successor, in con
sequence of which a tumult had
occurred among the people, who
marched through the si roots ut
tering cries of "Long live the
King, the Charter, and Gen. al

Portuguese troops into Spain, are
described as more considerable
than ever.
Soidh America. Accounts re
ceived at New-Orleans from Ha

dians with the mulattoes and ne
groes, in Venezuela, had risen in
arms and made a general massa

was busily fitting out an expedi

All the colored uniform battalions
in Havana had volunteered their

Suicide. On Monday last, (says
the Elizabeth-City Star of the
J 5th inst.) a most shocking in
stance of suicide occurred in Hert
ford, Perquimans county. Dr.
Hale. E. Walker, a native wc be
lieve of Maryland, but for twelve
months or more a practising phy
sician in Perquimans county, late
ly moved to this county with the
intention of locating himself. He
was however taken very ill. and
was advised to return rfo Perqui
mans county, which he did a few
weeks since, and from that time
has shown strong symptoms of
insanity. On Monday last he did
not appear at breakfast, when a
messenger was sent to his room
and received for answer that he
would come directly this was re
peated two or three times. After
dinner, the doctor not having made
his appearance, the landlord went
to his room and found the door
locked, he called, but received no
answer. He hqw became alarm
ed, and getting on a shed entered
the room through a window, when
he found the doctor lying on the
bed, which with himself was cov
ered with blood, and life entirely
extinct. It appears he had deli
berately taken a knife from among
his surgical instrumcns,with which
he divided the carotid artery and
the jugular vein, making a wound
in the side of his neck about two
inches in length. He left a note
on the ttib!e, bidding his friends

to his death. Mr. Randolph, in a letter
