LATE FROM ENGLAND.

Cn,RLEsroN, Feb. BLY, the fortunate and
fast sailing ship Lalla Rookh, Captain Stewart,
in 33 days from Liverpool we have our regular
files of London papers to the evening of the Sd
January, and Liverpool papers to the 9th of the
same month together with Irish and Scotch pa
pers TO the last of December.
Recruiting, to fill up the different rerimenfs
of the army, is going on with much activity in
England, and detachments arc marching i'm va
rious directions from one part of the United
Kingdom to the other. The Courier contra
,iicts report that new regiments were to be raj
sei Immediately such an event. SAYS that paper
will not take place until after the meeting of
ParliInent,
The sane paper considers the situation of Eu-
rope notwithstanding the apparent peace, to be
far from satisfactory,
The Ministerial Journals appear to view the
naval preparations at Cadz, against South Amer
lea, with Jealous eve.
1t furnishes striking proofof the rapid inter-
course between this country and E;urope-the
fact, that Mr. Webster's resolution, in favour of
the Greeks, was received in England IN fifteen
days from New York, and we in this country are
apprized of this by short arrival from Europe
before the question has been disposed of even
in the House where it originated.
The Presidents Message is highly common
ded in the London Times.
ing N. York papers tothe 18th ult The procee-
dmgs OF Congress are brought down to the 9th
inst. There had been no business before either
the Senate or the House of Representatives of
any general interest, except a motion made BY
MIR. Webster, of Massachusetts, in the sitting
of the latter Assembly, on the eth ut The mo.
zion was, " that provision ought to be made, by
law, for defraying the expense incident to the
appointment of agent or Commissioner to
yIn<r, De-. Kill 4
expedient to make such appointment"
We dare say Mr.. Webster was cutie sincere
in the wish he expressed, that the United States
Government should not commit itself in any Eu-
ropean contest; but we know of no way so like
ly to lead to that, which is deprecated,a s prone
ness to NEEDLE andnterfere with European ques-
tons. 1t is very true that the GU. States have
divers interests in the Mediterrean,s but there
are other powers, too, who haye divers, and more
immediate, and more important interests there.
and who may reasonably be expected to look
with jealous eye upon the creating of conflict
ing interests. Our radical politicians are very
fond ofreproaching the old Mouarchcal govern
ments of Europe, with ambition and. offcious in
terferepce.-Let them look at the Young Re.
publican Government across the Atlantic, and
note its policy. The whole New World is too
Limited for its movements already. To Europe
it saws, here you shall colonze no nore-bare
YOU shallinterfere not--while the same breath
almost, it betrays disposition to proclaim its
own rights of being heard and recognized upon
matter Of purely European interest. We know
not what may be the fate Of Mr.. Wcbster's mo
ton, but, in our opinion, it would be wisdom to
reject it. The adoption would only excite the
suspicion that interference of some kind or other
was meant to follow. IfAgents or Commission
ers be sent to- Greece, il may be supposed their
inquiries will not lead, like the poets long pas
sages," to nothing. Commissioners, we renern-
Der, were sent TO Bucnos Ayres, Columbia, and
we believe, Chill and the recognition of their
independence by the United States followed.
We do not say that an exactly similar, course is
to be expected with regard to Greece, but VIC
do think, as a-rnatterof propriety and good taste
merely, that it will be as WELL while the United
States Government prohibits European inter-
terence with North and South America if it alb
stain from all shallow of interference with re-
gard to Greece.
1TURBrDE, the FIX Emperor Of Mexico, ar
rived in London on Thursday, having come over
land from Leghorn. He is accompanied by the
Spanish Consul Torrente, who resided at Leg
horn under the ConstituGonalists, but who is now
OF course, superseded. Iturbide speaks no Ian
gu1ge but Spanish. He has come to England
merely upon short visit of curiosity, He has
brought with him two sons and nephew.
