The cpracoa Courant Of the a5th
ult. contains an extract of a letter from
Aguadilla, dated the 18th June, which
gives the particulars of large fire
which broke out there on the evening
ofthe 18th in small grocery. Owing
to the supineness Of the inhabitants
the fire spread rapidly and before it
was got under 81 houses were burnt,
and IA pulled down. The amount Of
property lost is estimated at S4oo, 900
The military were called out to pro-
tect the property and assist in extin-
gushing the FIRE, but instead Of assist
ing, they commenced scene of unex.
ampled robbery, entering stores and
stripping them Of their contents, &c.
The writer Of the letter closes by say.
ing-"and If it had not been for small
engine belonging to an individual, and
the exerlions of the captains of; two A.
merican vessels lyingin the port, God
only knows where this fire would have
ended"

The gallant and distinguished Colombian
General DEvKRkux, who not long since visited
this country, on his way to Europe has by
an order from the Austrian Government. been
arrested while travelling in Italy, and confined
aclose prisoner at Venice. The reason said
10 be assigned for the arrest was, that be had
fought with Bolivar against Old Spain. He
is subject Of Great Britain, and citizen Of
Colombia and the United States, and was ira
yelling, it appears, under passport from the
latter government, when the arrest was made
1t viii indeed be strange, if three such pow
erful governments cannot have influence e

ONE DAYLATER.

by the snip william byrneS, arriV-
ed yesterday, in 80 days from Liver
pool, we have received London dates
of the 18th of June, one day later than
those received at Boston, and Liverpool
papers of the l4th, being Of the same
date as those at Boston. The follow.
ing are extractS:-
HIS MAJEsTY's DRAWING ROOM.
On the 9Th, this splendid scene took
place at St. James Palace. The ar
engagements were on the most superb
and magnificent scale, and the atten-
dance Of the nobility was as great, ii
not greater, than upon any former year
Among the presentations were Mrs. H
Ball and Mrs. Coutts, for the first time.
His Majesty was in excellent health
and spirits, and did not fail to kiss the
fair blossoms of beauty as they were
presented. There was the kiss direct.
the kiss o5Iique, and the kiss en- PEASANT
The antiquated damsels were forced to
be content with the nhisker kiss, their
cheeks being merely brushed by that
luxuriant appendage Of his Majesty's
countenance!
On the 2sth of May meeting of Pro-
tes,ant Peers, friendly to Catholic eman-
cipation, was held at the house Of the
Duke of Buckingham, in London, A
number Of resolutions We passed, ex-
pressive oftheir sentiments. The writ
ing was signed by thirty-one peers, in
Guiding four Dukes, and were yet in
couse Of signature.
As soon as the Duke Of York dis
mounted from his horse, on Friday
last, at the Ascot races, says the En-
glishman, a sherif's officer siezed his
Royal Highness' horse, and that of his
groom, in execution. Subsequent &C
counts mention that this report is
wholly unfouuded.
The Dublin Morning Post says, re-
speeding the rumour of the appoint
ment of the Marquis of Hastings to the
Lord Lieutenancy Of Ireland, that it is
not at present intended to make any
change in the Irish executive.
A decree was promulgated in M ad-
rid on the 26th of May. Itpronounces
punishment on all who shall attack, in
an insulting manner, the measures Of
his Majesty's government. Keepers Of
hotels were to hinder all political dis.
cussions and disputes, and to commu-
nicate censures passed on the govern.
ment, and plans against it or against
religion, to the proper authorities, un-
der a very heavy penalty.
STILL LATER FROM ENGLAND.
[By the packet ship Columbia, Capt. Graham.]
The cotton market at Liverpool on
the 18th was still unsteady. The sale
Of 400 bales Alabama, which was to
take place on the 18th, it was thought
would contribute to fix more decisive
prices.
The accounts from the Greeks con.
tinued to be very Aattering.
Certain intelligence had been receiv.
ed that the Greeks had burnt in the
Modon thirty of the Turkish feet.
There was grand fete in Paris on
the 10th of June. Wine, bread and
sausages were distributed to the popu.
lace with great liberality.
The rage for building in Paris is
without precedent, and the demand for
houses keeps pace with the spirit Of
speculation.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.
We learn by a letter from one of the
young gentlemen attached to captain
M'Niell's corps of Engineers, that they
have completed their surveys of Deep
Creek, in the glades, also Willis creek,
Flaugherty's run, Casselmans river,
and Cheat river routes; and that they
have proceeded to Pittsburg, further
to prosecute their surveys, sc. All
attached to this corps are reported to
be in good health and fine spirits.
"On Monday evening last" says the
Shepherds town paper, "the corps Of
engineers under Col. Albert, engaged
in examining the route of the Chesa'
peake and Ohio canal, encamped at the
spring on the farm of Mrs. Swearin
gen, in the immediate vicinity of thi:
place, where they will remain for sew
eral days. They all appear in good
health and fine spirits, and are prose
cutting the object Of their expedition

l., q; European News. The ship ToPAz,
;,,., arrived at Boston from London, and
.hs Co,rxbIA and WILLIAM BrRSEs, at
Nsw.york from Liverpool-bnng dates ofthe
former place to the 18th, and cfthe latter to
,hs 18th June. The QuEES Man, from Havre,
furnishes the latest intelligence from France.
The most interesting and important matter, is
,be accounts of the continued brilliant success
ofthe Greeks, both by sea and land-Their
cause was never more prosperous, and conf
dence in their government is daily increasing
in the money market of London.
The items relating to our own country are
few: Cotton is dull, and the ardour Of specu-
lators very much damped by large arrivals.
The Canada Corn Bill has been rejected in
the House of Lords, under fear that Wheat
from the United States would be too abun-
dainty .ntroduced; but the interchangeable Hus-
kisson has introduced in the House Of Com
mons two new BiIls-the one to admit Cana
da wheat for two years, and the other for the
admission, at once, of bonded grain. There
can be very little doubt that the first, if not
both of them, will share the same fate rs the
one just rejected.
The Right Hon. CHAaLEs R VAueaAS, En-
bassador to the United States, embarked at
Portsmouth onboard the figase Phston, and
sailed the next day for New-York. Mr.. JouS

notwithstanding the rude and unmanly
threats Of little faction in Cincinnati, the
Gazette Of the 9th inst. announces that Mr.
Clay would partake Of public dinner in that
place on the Wednesday following. 1t stands
confessed, that his popularity in the west,
never stood higher than at the present time.
:. We learn by the Dutch schr Eclipse
sssom Curacao, that the Dutch frigate
Amster, from Amsterdam, arrived at
that place on the 27th ult. having on
board the new Governor General Key

The American Sentinel says that Gen. La

to be intimate with the General. we think II
probable that the Sentinel is right.

than SIXTY vessels burnt, sunk, and run
ashore. 1t was thought that Ibrahim
Pacha persisted in this dreadful battle.
In the early part of May, great
battle was fought in the neighborhood
of Navarin, in which the Greeks were
completely victorious. More than 5000
of their enemies were left dead on the
field. A Leghorn letter of May 80,
says-"official accounts Of this event
have been published at Hydra. Ody-

The vessel of the CAPTAIN Pacha,
narrowly,escaped being burnt, and is
ashore near Gallipoli. This accident
is attributed to the bad organization OF
the crew. They also bring the news OF
the death Of Mahomet Ali Pacha, Vice
Roy of Egypt, which information it is
said was brought by courier from
Alexandria on the 18th, but we think,
wants confirmation.
