NETWORK, JUNE 10.
The ship Scipo, Drummond, arrived
in Hampton Roads on the 5th inst. Sail
ed from Liverpool on the Sd of May.
Our advices per this arrival are only
two days later than per the Amity, arriv-
ed at this port. Nothing decisive had
occurred as to the affairs between Rus
STA and Turkey. Capt. D. states, as the
impression of the best informed, that
there would be no war. He adds, that
there was no doubt ofthe removal of the
West India restrictions. 1t does not ap-
pear that any material change had taken
place, either in the stocks, or American
produce.
1t is said special congress is to be
held at Vienna, to take into consideration
the present state of Europe.
Convoys the 9th ult. convoy
sailed from Havana under protection OF
the United States schooner Porpoise--
and the same day, a feet composed of
fifty ships and briggs, sailed for Spain I'M
der strong convoy. The fleet was no
doubt the most valuable that ever took
its departure from that port.
From Vera Cruz.-Captain Tilyou,
arrived on Saturday from Mobile, spoke
on the passage Spanish ship, with $50
passengers, from Vera Cruz, Tor Ha-
vana. The Captain informed that the
Patriots had got possession of the town,
but that the Royalists still held Fort ST.
Juan de Ulua. The inhabitants were
leaving as fast as they could get convey
ances to take them away.
CHARLESTON, JUNE 6.
BY the ship Bayard, captain Vandyke,
our London papers are to the I'd, and
Liverpool to the 4th of May--not SO late
by some days as we had expected.
The rumors of war appear TO be dying
away.
The West India and American Trade
Bill was not taken up in the House of
Commons on the 29jh of April--the
subject of Agricultural Distress, occu-
pied the attention of the House on that
day. 1t was generally reported, on the
first arrival of the Bayard, that this bill
had been called up on a day subsequent
to the 29th Of April, and passed its Sc
cond reading in the House of Commons,
but in conversation with captain Van
dyke, we learn, that he was under an i'm
preston that it had been SO read pre-
vious to his arrival in England, which
was on the 2sth of A pri--of course the
report its having passed the House OF
Commons, cannot be correct.
The English Criminal Court is still
puzzled what to do with Carlisle's Shop
man, who refused to give his name, and
who has been indicted as The man IN
known. His demurrer to the lash in
dictment was sustained-to wit, that his
name was not correctly set forth in the
indictment. Now, he has been indicted
as person we'll known, but whose name
is unknown. He was anxious to go TO
trial, but the Court required first that he
should give his name, which he refused.
The Court puzzled, again remanded the
prisoner
House of Commons, on the treatment of
Mr.. Hunt in Leicester Jail. Sir T. Bur-
deu's speech, very dec lamatory, and pro-
fessedly pathetic, is entirely defeated by
the home thrusts of the ministry, who
show that it would be violation Of
morals and decency, to allow the liber-
ties which Mr.. Hunt desires.
The Marquis of Londonderry says,
the British Government have not yet de-
termined on the course to be pursued in
reference to South American Indepen-
dence, but that bill was preparing to
regulate the commercial intercourse be-
tween Great Britain and South America.
Mr.. Canning's speech on the admis-
sion of the Roman Catholic Peers into
Parliament, occupies five and half close
columns in the Courier. The fate of
this wise measure, it is to be feared, will
be rejected by the House of Lords. Mr..
c. concluded his speech with these en-
phatic words: "In calling upon you to
support this motion, feel that / am on
ly asking you to do that, which in the
name of humanity is charitable, and in
the name of God is just"
On the debate on the Oxford Univer-
sity Petition, Sir T. Lethbridge inform
ed the House, that he was in dread Of
Mr.. Canning's eloquence-that it was
useless for him to form any opinion, if
Mr.. c. was allowed to speak afterwards.
