LATEST FROM EUROPE.
New York, Sept. e7.-By the Leeds we
have our files 10 the cath from Liverpool, and
to the evening of the 22d from London-only
two days later than the accounts per Uuion
Ih"y 'mpart no decisive intelligence respect
ing the Spaniards.
The decree ofthe Duke d'Angouleme, here
| tofore published by us, and which seemed
leveiled at the Regency of Madrid, is pronoun-
| ced, IN the Courier of the 22d, to he iabri-
Gated document.
Sir John Downie, an English officer in the
service of Spain, had, il appears by copy oi
his petition, addressed to King Ferdinand,
been for some time closely confined, with hls
nephew and some other prisoners, in the
, arsenal of Caracas, for having conspired with
! others to rescue the King and royal family
previous To their departure from Seville.
The petitioner complains of having suffered
most c0ntumelious treatment in his prison.
| Sir Robert Wilson, driven from Viso hy the
entry OF the French into that town, had, after
suffering much distress from his wound, al
length arrived at Lisbon. Curunna still held
out,sthough expectation of its speedy surren-
der, and indeed reports that it had surrendered
prevailed at the last dates.
The Liverpool Cotton market had rather
declined.
| The average price Of Wheat in Eng land
and Wales, per quarter, by the returns ending
August 9th, was COS. The price at which
Canadian Wheat may be admitted for con-
| sumption is 67s. and Wheat from other coun-
tries Sos: so that, with the general good pros
poets OF the harvest in Great Britain, there is
no probability OF any opening of the ports.
The London Courier of Thursday saws,

goods on board to the amount of $40. 900
The French commodore has sent the crew

LoNDoN, August 22.-The Paris papers of
Tuesday have arrived.-They contain no
intelligence of much interest Their continu-
ed silence respecting the Decree of the Duke
d'Angouleme, from Adular, of the eth, leaves
little doubt that our original suspicious were
correct, and that the document in question
was fabrication; though for what purpose
fabricated, il is not easy 10 imagine. We
perceive, by the bye, that a morning paper
which has taken it into its head of late to have
little nibble at us now and then. affects TO
consider the decree in question as having ap-
Pearcd exclusively in eur columns. These are
pitiful misrepresentation.
The following extracts are from the Etoile
OF Tuesday evening. In IFS postscript il has
intelligence from Cordova, of the 10th inst.
which mentions that the Duke d'Angouleme
had arrived there, and was received with ac-
ciamatIOns, and that he was continuing his
journeyto Port ST. Mary.
MADRID, Aug. I4.-The Government has
received news from Cadiz, dated the 9th inst.
at which time the King and his august family
enjoyed good health.
Death and disorder daily increase in Cadz
and the Isle of Leon
A volumnons correspondence has been in
tercepted in a vessel which was endeavouring
to escape from Cadiz, and on board of which
was taken noted revolntionist, named Miguel

English frigate, and FL Vengador, Spanish brig
OF war. and two gunbOats, have left that port
TO crniZe off Corunna, and thus complete the
blockade of that place by sea as essentially as
by land.
Since the fight Of Quiroga, the Governor
NOVel!a, VINO succeeded him, has sent a flag
of truce to General Bourck, proposing to him
to sign the cdpituailoD which had been offered
to him some days previously. This proposal
has been rejected in consequence of the change
of circumstances and the conduct of the be-
sieged, who were base enough TO fire upon
the first flag Of truce. Gen. NovelIa, fearful
oi being taken by assault, was then reduced to
the necessity of soliciting leave to send Colo
mel to General M0rillo to ask his advice.
The answer of the Count Of Carthagena not
being doubtful, the immediate reduction Of
The fortress may be regarded az certain.
Two positive details have been collected of
crime which finds no example in the annals
Of the French revolution. Unworthy of the
pilitary rank, the rebel Quiroga, some hours
previously 10 his departure, caused ffty-ons
prisoners IS no were confined in the Castle of
SAINT Antoine de Ia COrunna, 10 embark in
vessel from Seville, under preiext of convey
ing them to- more secure place hut scarcely
had these Inflated persons reached the o1ing,
when they were assassinated, and thrown
overheard cOnformably to the orders Of the
harharons Quiroga. The first bodies picked
W. were those Of an officer and an ecclesiastic,
who were bound back 10 back, and had their
throats cut with sabre. The list Of these >
vlciirus IS published IN the Gazette Of this day
Amongst them are the BrigadIer Of tile Royal
Armies, Don Salvador Escandon, and the
lhrre LIeuienants-Co Colonel Francisco Pareira,
Theodore Gil, and Joseph Aragon.
