LATEST ToREIcN NEWS.
BY the arrival last evening OF The ship
Thames, Capt Peck, in % days from the
Dow ms, we have received our regular files
ofLondop papers to the evening OF the sTd
of April inclusive, and General Chipping
and Commercial Lists to the I'd.
Among the extracts on Our hrSt page VIII
he found a particular and interesting ae.
count Of the ASSASSINATION of the celebrated
M. Augustus de Kotzebue at his residence
in Mannheim, on the Esd OF March. BY
this account it appears that the assassin
failed in his attempt to add to the crime OF
murder, that of suicide; and although Sc
verely wounded, he is likely to recover
sufficiently to receive the punishment due
to so atrocious criminal.
Our readers will recollect the account
published last winter, that the French &C.
neral Gourgaud had been seized at his lodg'
ings in London, by order o! Lord Sldmouth
and sent out of the Kingdom. Memo
rial on the subject from Gen. G. was intr-'
duced into Parliament on the I'd OF April,
which gave rise to an interesting debate.
We have commenced the publication OF
this debate this evening, and shall continue
il in our next.
Letters from Rome of'the 18th of March,
say, that some shocksof an earthquake were
experienced at Palermo On the 24th & e5th
of February. They were chiefly felt at
the mountain Della Madonna, where seve.
raj persons persisted by the sinking of the
earth.
In the House of Commons on the End OF
April, the Ministers were asked, whether
the vessels that had been chartered by the
Spanish Government. for the conveyance
of troops to South America, acted with the
privity or consent Of his Majesty's govern
meut. Lord Castlereagh replied, that the
transactions in question were purely CON-
mercial, and that the parties who engaged
in them acted upon their own discretion,
and at their own peril as to the consequent
ces that might ensue."
