New YORK, July lO.-An arrival at
Boston in 81 days from Liverpool, brings
intelligence as late as June LIST from Lon
don, snd from Liverpool 10 the Sd. We
see very little interesting news in the de-
tails in the Boston papers, or in the COM
munications from our correspondents
there. The report that Mr. Canning bad
threatened to resign bis place in the mi
nistry, in consequence OF dissatisfaction
with his colleagues, is in our view eX
tremely improbable. We know of no i'm
portant political measure about which the
members of the British Cabinet have dit
Tered in opinion. We have no recollec
ton Of the time when the opposition were
so small, or the Ministry so popular No
hint OF any expected change of Ministry
was contained in our papers by the CO.
lun bia, which were as late from Liverpool
as the lst OF June. The story wants con.
hrmatjon.
Nor do we readily see on what founda.
ton the assertion, that the great powers OF
Europe have determined TO let the Turks
try one more campaign against fhe Greeks,
can rest. There has been no Congress
this year: and in no other mode that we can
imagine, unless by general negotiation
or correspondence, could such a deiermi.
nation be ascertaIned and promulgated.
Nothing Of this kind has taken place as
Tar as we know in this country; and there

dered as nothing more than profound

TThe following Letter which did not reach
our hands until Saturday, gives more partic-
nlar and distinct account of the recovery from
the river of the first guns planted i'll the State |
of MARYLAND a notice of which by a cores
pondcnt was published in our last.
MAJ. Iatei
Mcssrs. GALES & SEAToN: BY reference to
the early history of our country it will be
found, that in the year 1855, Leonard CAL
vert, the brother of Crcilias Calvert Lord
Baltimore, landed with his colonists on St
Mary's River, and commenced the settle
mcnt of Maryland under a charter from
King Charles the 1st. One OF the first meas
ures of Mr.. Calvert, was to provide an am
pie security against the numerous tribes of In
dans that then inhabited the country;
fort was accordingly erected On a point near
the mouth of the river, and well supplied with
cannon, of large size. As the colony adj
vanced aud the savagcs retired before the
axe and the plough of civilization, the fort
became of less Importance to the colony, till
it was totally neglected and suffered to sink
into rain.-By the washing Of the bank, the
very spot on which it once stood, now forms a
part of the bed of the river; so that the near
.,st lne Of the fort is about one hundred and
fifty Yards below the usual mark Of tho tide.
Many attempts have been made Of late wears
