From the Ne,c- York .american, August II. I
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
BY the arrival Of the Manchester and
Euphrates, from Liverpool, the former
having sailed the 4th, and the latter the
9TH July, we have received our files of
newspapers, and have extracted what
seems worthy of notice. Our advices
respecting the cotton market are far
from being satisfactory: the continued
heavy import from Egypt, Brazil, and
the United States, seemed to destroy
confidence in the statements that the
general supply would not much exceed
that Of last year; and, in consequence,
prices were lower, and very little BUSH
ness was doing when the Euphrates
sailcd-the sale of cotton for the three
days previous, being only e6S bales.
In London, the prices of American
stocks remained without material
change.
Our minister, Mr.. Rufus King, left
Liverpool for London, via Cheltcnham,
on the I'd July, much improved in
health.
Gen Devereux has been released
Immediately after his arrest, he wrote
letter, full of firmness, TO the Empe-
ror Of Austria, in which he said he
could not suppose that an act of tyran-
ny so odious and so infamous as that
which had just been exercised upon
him, could have been done by his Ma
iesty's consent-that he was travelling
with an American passport, and was
charged with the interests of a compa-
ny formed for working the gold mines
Of Colombia; and that if his detention
was prolonged, the American Govern
ment would become responsible for all
the damage which might result from
it. This letter was sent to Milan where
the Emperor then was. BY the great
est chance in the world, an Italian, who
had been placed about him to serve as
an interpreter, was recognised by him
as having long served under his orders
in the Colombian army. Fifteen days
after the arrest Of General Devereux,
the answer was received from Milan :
it simply contained the order for his
Liberation, with an injunction 10 quit
Venice and Italy in "a hours. The
officer who intimated this order 10 him,
endeavored to make some excuses, tell
ing him that his arrest had only been
mistake, which ought not to inspire
him With resentment against the Aus
trian Government, nor hinder his again
coming into Italy. Ifever," answered
the general, 81 come again into Italy
whilst the Austrian dominion shall be
established in it, it will only be sword
in hand" Gen. Devereux arrived in
Paris, and set out from it for London.
The House OF Commons adjourned
on the lst July till Tuesday, the 9Th
4 petition, presented by Col. Lushing-
ton, on the subject of the Decean Prize
Money, called forth the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, who gave an eXplana-
ton of the course which the Duke OF
Wellington and Mr.. Arbuthnot had
pursued with respect to the claimants.
He Showed, that the delay spoken OF
rested not with them, and that the No
bic Duke and right Honorable Gentle
man had only undertaken the task now
imposed upon them, from an anxious
wish TO benefit those who have been,
most enormously, supposed to have
reason to complain Of their proceed
ings.
Sir Henry Hardinge commented,
with just severity, on the harsh Ian
guage understood TO have been applied
by DR.. Washington, towards the Duke
of wellington, on former night
Subsequently, the Hon. and Learned
Member qualified what he had a:lvanc
ed, and amicable explanations were
given both BY him and Sir Henry.
In answer to a question by Mr..
Brougham, with respect to the occupa-
ton Of Spain by French troops, MIR.
Canning expressed his perfect convlc-
ton that the French Government was
sincerely anxious to withdraw, with as
little loss Of time as possible, that por-
ton of their army which at present re-
mains in the Peninsula,
Mr.. Barring inquired why the Mi
Mister fromNBuenos Ayres had not as
yet been presented TO his Majesty, and
alluded to an idea that this arose from
the interference of Foreign Powers, 10
mitigate the character OF our recognl-
ton. Mr.. Peel regretted that the ques-
zion had not been put while Mr.. Can.
ming was in the House, who would
have been more competent to answer
it; but he distinctly negatived the sup
position, that our recognition had been,
or would be, at all qualified by any
foreign influence.
The Duke d'Angouleme was short
ly expected to visit England.
