FROM ENGLAND.

From our agent at the Vineyard, we
last evening received London papers to the
5ih Nov. politely furnished by Capt
Crediford, of the Gen. Pike, from Rot
terdam, and 40 days from Falmouth.
We have not been able to extract 10 de
tail, but furnish the following limited
summary.
The political news by this vessel, is not
very important; every one was looking
Forward to the opening of Parliament, with
anxious enquiries, aud some with positive
anticipations of the measures TO which
ministers will resort in the present alarm
Jog state Of the country. Those who pre-
tend to be we'll informed on this subject
though perhaps by such statements they
are only putting out their feeIers--asserl
that something like the Irish system will
be proposed, respecting the disturbed
Counties: that is summary powers to be
confined to the Lords Lieutenants, on the
declaration of the Magistrates respecting
the state OF. the counties respectively, TO
place them under Martial Law. The
Press, it is also asserted, will experience
some kind of muzzIing-if the country
can be brought TO submit to tor rather,
III Ministers can carry the measure in Par
jiament; but some say, this will only ex-
tend TO the tho penny press, the weekly
morsels Of sedition Of blasphemy. And it
is also said,> that restraints, Of some de-
scription, will be put on the privilege
& which belongs to Britous to meet and dis
cuss publicly any matter Of grievance

From the True American.


Extract from the Editor, dated Washing
ton C,ty, Dec. 10.
The annual Treasury Report (Which
| wish you TO publish at large) gives US
but " a beggarly account of empty" cof-
iers. II is estimated that on the first of
January there will be in The Treasury a
balance of only S334,996 90--that the
revenue Of next year, including this bal
ance, will amount to but between % and
20 millions, while the, expenditures will
not be less than 81 milIions--leaviug a
deficit Of nearly five millions for the SER
vice OF 1920. The Secretary submits to
Congress the alternative of augnsenting
the revenue, or diminishing the e1peudi
ture. The situation Of the country will
rot probably justify the former; and
presume disposition to .slrsnch vii! be
manifested by Congress. If system of
economy is promptly adopted, ndfaithiul.
ly pursued, / have no doubt our expenses
may be brought within our income, With
out any augmentation Of the latter. There
are many items Of expenditure which will
admit of reduction, without public injury.
and probably With public benefit. Since
our finances have been 10 a fioarishine
condition, Liberal appropriations have been
made, and these. frequently, greatly ex-
ceeded. Perhaps present difficulties may
produce permanent advantages.
" II is probable the conduct Of General
Jackson, in the Seminole war, will again
be brought before the Senate, by his owo
request, for decision on thereport of las
year; and that his resignation will follow
an honorable acquittal, should it TAKE
place. The only vote last session which
could afford criterion of the sense of the
Senate concerning his conduct, exhibited
a majority Of five against him. But sew
eral members were then absent, and many
changes in, and some additions to, this
body, have since been made--so that il
may be considered doubtful how the ma.
iority would stand at the present time.
An anonymous pamphlet, OF upwards OF
1870 pages, has appeared here, entitled.
8. A Viudication Of the Measures of the
President and his commanding Generals,
10 the commencement and termination OF
the Seminole War; Il is ably written;
but will probably have little effect on
hose who have read all the documents
and deliberately formed. their opinions"

what Parliament must do one is, that
summary powers be confded TO the Lords
LIeutenants, on the declaration OF the
Magistrates respecting the disturbed coun-
ties, to place them under martial law.
The plague had broken out at Mega
dore 28th September. There we're how
ever only three or Jour deaths per day,
and principally confued to the Moors.
The piratical brig William, Capt. Chris
topher Deiano, has been taken by I'll. Nj.
ship Spy, and carried into Malta--the
master and all the crew in irons, except
the steward, who escaped. II is said she
had plundered an American and Portu-
guese vessel, aud that quantity Of doub-
looms we're found ON board OF her. They
we're to be tried for piracy on the 2otn
November.
Sir Thomas Hardy's squadron (the

was at Madeira Sept. 10. A letter from
an officer says "we proceed TO Rio Jane
iro Immediately with the ambassador, Mr..
Thornton ; but we do not know our fur

thing necessary for war, and TO get the
ship in the highest fighting condition, we
have plenty of exercise at the guns every

Extraordinary circumstance and happy
dtscOvery.-Two men by the name OF
Stephen and Jesse Bourn, have lately
been convicted in Bennington county,
Vermont, of the murder OF Russell Col
vim, some years since. Being under sen.
tance Of death, aud as sppears) con-
scious Of innocence, they have advertised
the circumstances. and requested informa-
tion Of the said Colvin, who suddenly
disappeared. We now find 10 the Eve.
ming Post, that Coivin is at Shrewsbury,
New-Jersey, in state Of insanity. The
circumstances, as stated by ms sber
Gkadwick, of Shrewsbury, are SO clear
as not to admit oil doubt

the circumstances under which jury
could have convicted these men.

that of which they were originally made.
