LIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE


EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
NV YoRk, June 20.-The elegant old
line packet ship Canada, captain seth &.
Macy, arrived last evening, in 30 days from
Liverpool, BY this arrival the editnrs OF
the COinmercial ADJ cr;ser have received
copious flies of London, Liverpool aud the
provincial papers, To the latest dates. Also,
Lloyds aud shipping Lists az usual. All
that Is important TO the merchant or the
politician, that is contained in these papers,
will be found in the summary and extracts
below
The news by this arrival Is not OF posi-
tire character nor, with the exception Of
one article, IS If important, if all the rumors
were true. This exception is an article in
the London San of the 18th Of May, dated
Mt O'Clock, announcing in terms OF the
strongest confidence, that negotiations for
an adjustment between France and Spain
was on foot, and it was believed that they
would be formally opened, and result layo-
fably, the moment the contemplated change
Of ministers at Seville shall be Effected
1t was further stated, that all the obstacles
10 such an arrangement had been removed
from London and Seville. This news Was
brought by special courier from the lat
ter place and il was mentioned again in
the same paper of the 18th, with the addi-
ton that the fate Of Nina, wbateverit may
be, will probably affect the negotiation one
way or the other. The circumstance which
goes toreuder this story probable, is the
notice III several of the French papers, Of
the departure of a peer of France, ON some
diplomatic erraud, as it was con)rctured.-
The Constitutional notices this rumor in
the following Iaconc manner 80 Ii is sta
ted that peer of France goes to Madrid
IN the character of bassadOr----Am-
bassador to whom ?" TO this paragraph,
the journal DIES DebrtS says" We know
not whether the appointment be true, but
sl'pPoslng II OTTO be- we shall reply to the
Consttutonnel-' TO the same authority
to which were sent the ambassadors of the
different powers, during the first captivity
ot Ferdinand VII o-meaniug the Regen-
cy to be established by the Duke d Angou-
lense at Madrd--nhen he gets there
There IS another argument in favor of
speedy accommodation, used by those who
seemed most to desire such an vent.-fhe
head quarters of the Duke d'Angouleme
have been advanced from Yittoria, and as
we are informed by the Bulletin, were es-
tabshed at Burgos on fine 9th. The first
corps has made its movement on yaliado-
nd and the right wing of the army had
penetrated as far as within 10 miles of
Madrid. And thus far, with the exception
ct the fortress of st. Sebastian, there has
been no serious opposition. There has
certainly been more of apathy found among
the Spanish people than was anticipated,
although there is no appearance of IA
want oi energy on the part of the
Coltes now assembled at Seville. Now
from the fact that the Spaniards have
not manifested that resistance of the insa-
ders which had been anlcipated-an that
The French have not, on the other hand,
been joined by any part Of the population,
IS not controyertcd--the conclusion is, thai
negotiations will be opened from Madrid,
and lead To AN accommodation We agree
with the British Traveller, however, that
until such result be in actual proof, we can
not but hesitate in believing, that the CON
s'nni'onailsls of Spain, after defying not
only France, bat the great continental pow
ers, will tamcly submit to so lame and i'm
potent compromise of the national indie
pendrncc.
Having thus disposed Of this rumor, ac-
cordIng to the feeble and Pickering lights
afforded us, we proceed to "A summary OF
Tue news from the seat of war, such as il is:
