ONE DAY LATEST FROM ENGLAND.

ONE DAY LATEST FROM ENGLAND
The ship London, Capt. Moran, sailed from
Liverpool on the 2Sth March. and brings Lon.
don papers TO the evening of the Goth.
The third reading of the Slave Trade bill wa,
assigned for the Goth ut. Mr.. Canning hoped
that it would not be postponed beyond that day.
seeing that the only chance of the measure be-
ing carried into beneficial operation the present
year, was the act reaching America before the
close of the present session Of Congress.
In the House of Commons, on the 2jth, Sir
]. MAcEISrosH asserted, thattwo very important
declarations had been made by ministers in and
on an occasion, which it was supplementary for
him to name. The last and most important Of
these declarations is this, viz: That if any con-
siderable armament proceeded from the ports
Of Spain, while the Peninsula was in the occu-
considered as Spanish armament. After ma
turely considering this declaration, which he
held to be of great importance, and which went
far to supply what had appeared defective, and
to remove what had seemed to him ambiguous
in the former declarations respecting the policy
OF this country, he certainly judged, that it so
much narrowed the practical ground of differ
ence between him and the Ministers of the
Crown on the subject of South America, as to
make it improper for him to persevere init. He
was also somewhat influenced by what lie
had heard, not in so authentic shape as the
declarations he had Just now referred to, that
France had actually declined to be party to
the threatened Congress in the Affairs If S.
America. He was inclined to believe that this
was the fact.
Mr. CANylSc said it might be deemed, tina.
he was called upon to say something in reply to
the above, but, on the whole, he thought he
should best Consult his duty by abstaning from
offering any remarks. But he begged the house
to bear in mind that he wished to be judged by
the explicit declarations which he had himself
made when the subject came before them in the
regular course Of debate, and not by any con-
structlon put by his honorable and learned
friend upon declarations which had been made
elsewhere, and which he Mr.. Canning) neither
affirmed nor denied.
Capt. Sir Ralph Collier, committed suicide on
25th ult by cutting his throat 1t is intimated
that some structures on his conduct, as naval
officer, led to this act of desperation.

Last night the two criminals conhn-
ed in the Jail IN this place broke through
the wall, and made their escape. The
breach through which they passed must
have been the work of some days, and
an evidence of the ingenuity and un-
ceasing perseverance of the human
mind; Martin Mill was charged with lar
ceny, and jesse jackson with forgery.
4 letter was found from the former
gentleman, expressing bis regret that
circumstances compelled him to leave
our good citiz ems in SO abrupt and I'm
cere monious manner. Since we had

A tremendous hurricane was expert
enced at Vera Cruz, on the 9th ult--
Much property and many lives lost;
among the vessels in the harbor, was the
schr. Industry, from Havana, with a
valuable cargo-all hands lost, except
the captain and pilot. A brig from PHI
ladelphia was totally lost, and all hands
persisted; the U. S. brig Shark lost two
boats and fourteen of her crew, inclu-
ding midshipman and masters mate;
all the fishing s1nacks and crews were
buried in q watery grave. The gale
commenced 0ith its utmost force, with
out any previous notice or indication IN
the horizon, and lasted o or IL hours.

The bill for the settlement Of the
heirs of Beaumarchais. yesterday came
to its turn in the House Of Representa-
tives. We earnestly hope that the pre-
sent session will not close without pro-
vidin2 for the equitable adjustment of
that claim. The national character, it
appears to US, is concerned in it; and
the laws of hospitality, not 20 speak of
chiyalry and gallantry, appearto require,
at least, that serious attention be given

We observe a singular mlsapprehen-
sion, on the part of some of our public
prints, in respect to the effect of the bill,
which has passed the Senate, and is now
before the House of Representatives of
the United States, for abolishing lmpri-
sonment for Debt 1t seems to be sup
posed that the bill, if it become a law, is
TO be universally operative. and is to a.
bolish Imprisonment FOR debt throughout
the land. The least reflection, however,
will shew, that an act of the Congress of
the United States, on the subject, can
apply only to cases in which the Courts
of the United States have cognizance,
and, of course, not to cases of judgments
in the Court Of the several states, which
must, even should this bill pass, continue
to be regulated by the laws of the states.
There is good ground to believe, how
ever, that the example of the general
government on this point would be fol-
lowed, at no long distance, BY the govern
ments of the several states. tIbia.
Our readers have observed state
ment made by Mr.. CANNING, in the Bri-
fish House of Commons, on the 9th ult.
of Treaty having been concluded be-
tween the Commissioners of the United
States and of Great Britain, TO give a
mutual right of search to the commits
stoned vessels of each nation, in the case
of vessels suspected OF being engaged
in the Slave Trade. We hear that a
Treaty on that subject was actually
signed at London, on the 3th ultimo,
between Mr.. RUsH, on the part of this
government, and Mr.. STRATFoRD CAN
MING and Mr. HUsKIssoN, Commission
ers COR that purpose, on the part of the
British government. The Treaty, it is
said, has arrived here, and it is proba-
BILE will be laid before the Senate, for
its decision thereon, during the present
session of Congress. 10.

The blows inflicted on the Tariff bill,
in the Senate. has been followed up by
third, by which the prospective duty
Of ) cents on Cotton Ragging is strick-
en- out. We understand, however, that
the bill is not yet entffely despaired Of.
1t is supposed, as a possible event, that,
in place.of the duties on iron and hemp,
lower rate of duty or each of those
articles may find favor with the Senate.
We confess, however, that we see little
prospect, at present, ofthat bill becoming
a law, at this session, in any shape. ID.
