VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND.

The April packet ship James Monroe, Captain
Lee arrived yesterday in the very short passage OF
2S days from Liverpool. We have received papers
Of that place of the s Of April, and London papers
to the evening the 30th of March.
An express reached London on the 50th March
with Information that the French funds fell pei
cent on the 2Sth. The rumors got up in conse-
quence of this intelligence, were, that there was
of fresh instructions in France, and that the
negotiations between Russia and Turkey were bro
ken Off The last report the Courier fatty contra
diets and repeats the belief that the differences will
be adjusted.
AS to the troubles in France the same paper saws
they have been greatly exaggerated and never pos
sessed character OF serious danger to the go, ern-
lment. The party in the chamber OF deputies made
Ia handle ofthem to create alarm in the public mind
and the papers which supported them, abored in
the same vocation.
In the House Of Commons March 9th, Mr. Ma.
ryat presented petition of the Council and Assem-
bly, of Canada, praying such relief as was absolutely
necessary 10 save them from impending ruin. Mr..
Wmot said the President of the Board of Trade,
meant, in the ensuing week, to submit motion on
the subject of regulating the intercourse of the CO.
lonies with Canada.

Planters was held the 92d at the London Tavern,
when it agreed to present petition to the House

IN SENATE,

APRIL 24-Mr Dickerson, from the Committee
on Commerce and Manufactures, delivered in the
following report which was read and ordered to be
printed:
The Committee of Commerce and Manufactures,
who were instructed to inquire into the expediency
OF prohibiting the importation of foreign spirits re-
port:
That in their opinion, the agricultural as we'll as
manufacturing interest ofthe United States would
be promoted by prohibiting the importation of for
leigh spirits. That the quantity Of spirits that would
in short time be manufactured in this country to
supply the place Of that imported, would afford
"a source OF revenue more efficient, and much less
lprecarlous than that derived from the mporta-
ton of foreign spirits. But as an immediate pro-
hibition would injure the commercial interest Of the
United States as we'll as diminish the revenues un
til sys'em Of excise could be brought into opera
ton, the committee think it would be expedient to
arrive gradually at the objects in view, by increa-
sing the duties on foreign spirits A bill, however
for this purpose, must be considered as bill fol
raising revenue, and can only originate in the House
OF Representatives. The committee therefore sub
init the following resolution:
ResoUed That the Committee Of Commerce
Manufactures be discharged from the further con-
sideraon of the resolution instructng them to in
quire into the expediency of prohibiting the mpor
Itatian Of foreign spirits

FREDERICKSBURG, (Vir) April II.
1t becomes painful duty to record this day the
most extensive fire which has visited our town since
the memorable 9th October, 1907. 1t commenced
Its ravages on Friday evening last ; little after
ten o'clock, on the premises of Mr.. John S. Well
ford, in the hay loft Of stable situated George
street. The fire progressed with extreme rapidity
towards the main street until it reached the large
stone building owned and occupied by Mr. Wexford,
which was soon enveloped in aames. The ad Join.
ling house occupied by Mr. Warren soon caught and
the remaining houses from thence to the Farmers
Hote,beng all wooden buildngs,we speedy sharers
in the calamity, and by half past O'Clock were
verified into heap of ashes. About 81 buildings,
(of every descrption) were destroyed. The fire
was doubtless the work of an incendary. The wind
was fresh from the south during the whole evening,
from which circumstance the upper part of the town
was in great danger Herald.
