BY the ship London Packet, Capt. Ira
Cy, which arrivedat this port last evening,
IN a short passage of 81 days, we have
received London news ten days later than
our previous advices. We are indebted
10 Capt. Tracy and passenger. for re-
gular files OF London papers to August
8, from which VIC have hastily selected
the following Intelligence.
A French ordonnance was issued July
IS, imposing duty of 90 francs per ton
with the additional ten per cent. on all
vessels of the United States in French
ports in Europe, to take effect on vessels
which left the United States after the
18th of June, the date at which the act
of Congress of the u. S. of May last was
supposed to have been known through
out the United States. Vessels in bal
last are not subject TO the new duty; and
this duty is to cease as soon as the repeal
of our duty shall be officially known in
France.
Another ordonnance of the same date,
grants premium of 10 francs per 100
killogrammes on Cotton imported from
America in French vessels after the 5th
of October; and all imported from the
United States before that time in French
vessels which shall have paid the duty
OF SO per ton in our ports.
Some serious counter revolutionary

She has left no childten.
The Spartan frigate arrived at Ports
mouth, Aug. 6, being ordered to take
the Ri. Hon. Sratford Canning to the U.

Advices at Constatinople announce,
that A Pacha is treating for the pur-
chase of vessels of war. He offers 100
sequins each for seamen, giving the pre-
ference, it is said, to those of North
America. He has appropriated one
million of sequns to the establishment
OF hotilla, and it is his intention to arm
a great number of gun boats, to be used
against the heavy Turkish ships.
On the 9Th of July Sir Charles Bagot,
the new minister to the Court of St. Pc
tersburgh, had his first audience and pre-
aented his credentials to the Emperor.
On the same day Mr.. Campbell, our
minister at that court, had private au-
dience.
A letter from Bayonne dated July 80,
states on the authority of private letters
from St. Sebastian, that the Dutch and
Algerine squadrons have had an OBJ
stinate engagement off the coast Of An
dalusia, the result of which was, that the
latter was completely beaten, and two
of its ships sunk.
A very destructive FIRE broke out in
Paris on the morning of Aug. /, in some
wine and brandy vaults, at La Rapee Rue
de Barcy, which extended itself nearly
three quarters of league, destroying a
great part of the Bourg de Bercy. Fiji
ty thousand barrels of wine were destroy
ed, and for some time the engines were
supplied from pool of wine. Many of
the firemen were intoxicated with the
fumes of the wine and brandy, and in
consequence great number lost their
lives; above so wounded, some mortal
ly, were carried to the hospital; and
the destruction of property was i'm
mense.
The Russian government has address,
ed circular to the principal European
Courts, expressing in strong terms its
disapprobation ofthe revolution in Spain.
After stating the obligation of the mo-
narchs of Europe to prevent revolutions,
and the efforts they have made for that
purpose, this document proceeds B.
in virtue of his engagements of the (5d)
10Th of November, 1918, his majesty is
bound to mark with the most forcible
Reproduction, the revolutionary measures
set in action to give new institutions to
SPAIN"
After expressing belief that the al
lies of Russia agree in the sentiments
entertained by the Emperor, the letter
proceeds" They have doubtless de-
plored as he has, the outrage which has
recently furnished the annals of Spain.
We repeat it, this outrage is deplorable.
1t is deplorable for the peninsula-it is
deplorable for Europe-and the Spanish
nation now owes the example of an
expiatory deed to the people of the
two hemispheres. Till this be done,
