LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
: The packet ship York, Capt. De Cost. arri-
we'd this morning Il ON Liverpool BY this ar
rival we have received from our correspondence
eopious files Of English pspers-Liverpool to
the "a h, of October, London to the 23d, and
Shipping Lists 10 the 22d, all inclusive. We
are also indebted to Capt. De Cos,, for file Of
papers up 10 the day on which he sailed.
The dates from the Continent are no later
than those received by the Bolivar, from Ha-
vre. We have no later intelligence from Greece
or Constaninople. The impression among the
London journalists is, that the Porte will per-
emplorily reject The mediation of the Allies.
Advices from ST. Pctersburgh are to the 9Th Of
October. 1t is said that the Emperor Nicholas
insisted more positively than ever on the pro
posals Of paci6calion made to the Porte. We
believe, however, that nothing positive was
known, eithe: in London or elsewhere, upon
this subject A St. Perersburgh paper Of Sep
tembsr 90, states positively, that "the news of
the rejection of the mediation by the Porte, ar
rived at that Capital on the 10Th of that month.
But it is hardly probable that MIR. Canning,
the Brush Minister al Constaniinople, would
not have taken measures to communicate so
important fact to his own government, at
least as soon as it could reach the British Cap
ital via the North of Europe.
The ST. Petersburgh Journal Of the 9th Oc-
tober gives an account Of another affair which
took place near the village Of Vanaud, between
the Russian troops and body OF 5000 Persian
! cavalry. A sanguinary conflict ensued. but the
Persians were repulscd and driven back TO-
wards Ordabad.
Gibraltar letters and papers TO the Sd of Oe-
tober, had been received in London. The En-
peror Of Morocco had sent deputaiion OF
Moors to purchase fast sailing vessels as cruz
sers. They we're accompanied by son Of the
Bashaw of Tangier, but had not succeeded in
their mission at the date OF these accounts
The vessels wanted were supposed 10 he inten-
ded to cruise against the flag of the northern
Europepu nations.
Some further particulars are given OF the
effects Of the inundstion Of the country border
ing upon the Rhone aud Ardeche. The whole
plain Of Brotteau was inundated, and the
inhabitants driven to the upper lofts Of their
houses. In Dauphigny the waters have occa>
stoned deplorable ravages At Avignon, the
| river covered the streets and quays to great
depth. The country house Of gentleman
near that town was oyerthrown, and another
country house, containing eight persons, was
crushed TO peices, but the people were saved
| The town Of Roquemaure has lest seventeen
houses and tina, of Cadel ons more than thirty.
The impetuosity of the Ardeche was such that
It's stream as it were, cut that Of the Rhone
which il crossed, bore down the mound Of the
opposite bank, and at a quarter OF a leagues
distance destroyed the causway which Joins the
road of Lyons to that of Languedoc, by means
Of the bridge ST. Esprit
Portuguese papers to Oct. 2, had been
received in London. The Oporto Impartial
was preparing the public mind to receive the
Infan, Don Miguel peaceaby; "for that such
is the sovereign will of his majesty we have
every reason TO think. 4 monarch does not
proclaim a code with so much solemnity 10 see
i, con,ravened." The Gazette also Snakes a
call in this respect, inviting the Portuguese to
submit 10 the royal decisions, without auemp-
ting 10 scrutinize the rama OF policy, ny
which they mean TO insinua,e that there are
many Portuguese who are afraid OF the arrival
Of the Infant. The editor Of the Impartial
saws he i: the organ Of great majority of The
nation, aud denies that there is any unfriendly
feeling towards the Prince. But though the
organ of the government, II VIII be seen by the
following paragraph that, although as obsequi-
Gus as could be wished, they are not exempted
from the clippings of censoriai scissors
"After all, the Editors endcavouring to con-
cliate parties, and to destroy mis,rust, have
themselves insiduously indicated and used very
improper terms in. -.
(aere follows FIVE lines Of blanks which would
be matter of indifference under other circum-
stances, but is dangerous at present. we
hope that these Editors will amend in writing
about the case in question, as it belongs TO
Government 10 check and punish them. We
beg our readers 10 excuse this DEPRESSION, and
proceed to the news Of the day"
Imprisonments continue at Lisbon, where on
the a5th of September, colonel, two captains
and an ans;on were added 10 the number OF
