LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The Packet Ship Britannia, arrived at New
York ON Wednesday morning, having sailed
from Liverpool on the 18th ultimo. The Chief
items Of intelligence, are the death Of the King
of Saxony, the insurrectionary movments al
Elvas, and the continued hsstiities in Portu-
gal-All England is still occupied with dis
cussions relative TO the New Ministry, which is
said TO have gained strength in the House OF
Lords. Besides the strong opposition in the
aristocratic branch, many powerful Journals
which a, frs, were either friendly or neutral,
have since sided with the ultra Tory party
One of them, the "Morning Post" is vehement
against what the Editor calls "the heterogeneous
aairi,ue ,chich Mr.. Canning is endeorouring TO
force do,cn The hroats Of his eountrymen." And
Bells Weekly Messenger-a paper general dis
Greet and moderate,-says, under date Of the
18th of May.
"Mr. Canning's cabinet seems as yet scarce
ly composed or settled, either to his own mind
or to the salisfactio of the country. He APP
pears to have almos, as much trouble with his
nents, the Ex-Tories: and his government can
not be pronounce, even at this period, 10 be any
more than provisional"
The act of the Abdicaiion Of the Emperor
Don Pedro is published in the London papers,
in which he transfers the kingdom Of Portugal
10 his dear daughter Maria de Gloria, at being
incompatible with the interests Of the Empire
Of Brazil, and with those ofthe kingdom of Por-
tuesl, that he should continue to be the King OF
Portugal"
On the 10th May, Lord Peterborough put the
question in the House Of Lords, to Lord Dud-
lev and Ward, The Foreign Secretary, whether
il was the intention Of his Majesty's Govern
meut to lay upon the table any information as
10 the late and present state OF affairs in Portu
gal Lord Dudley and Ward replied, that it
was no, the present intention Of Government,
To Ray any papers before Parliament OF this sub
iect. The question respecting the Withdrawal
of the British troops was one of great impor-
lance, and was connected with negotiations
still pending, aud not in state to be laid before
the public. Lord Peterborough then asked
whether those negotiations were making with
Portugal, or any other power-which question
Lord Dudley and Ward declined answering.
I, will be seen by the following extracts, from
the Parliamentary proceedings on the nigh, oil
the l4,h Of May, tina, the political storm RACES
in both Houses with undiminished ferceness.
IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS,
The Marquis Of Londonderry, in moving for
certain papers relating 10 the expenditure oil
the foreign department, said, ii the adminislra-
,ioa was declared permanent, he should proceed
no further, but from the manner in which II
had been made up, he could not place confidence
in it,--there appeared 10 be sort of conoubin-
age-[hear, hear, and laughter;) looking at the
right reverend bench he wished also to know
what they were 20 do. Lord Dudley said, il
the noble Lord Londonderry had founded his
motion on anv known fact, and no, on rumors
derived from newspapers, SC. there would be
some force, but the noble lord seemed TO have a
strong dislike to the right hon. gentleman al
the head ofthe government, his opposition be-
ing founded on antipathy; but he believed II was
the first time that his Majesty's servants were
TO be called upon 10 say how long they were to
serve their Sovereign, or how long their Sover-
eign was TO employ them; at all events he would
moi be the first to answer questions like these
CHear, hear, and cheers.)-[The House was left

to Law the warrant before,the house, he under

issued for 100 years Mr.. Hume said that as
there were rumors that more peers were to De
created, he wished some new regulations were
made to prevent them becoming pensioners
ON the public, which might be done by enactins
that the honour should cease when its holders
could not afford to sustainit. A laugh.) Mr.
Canning said he could be no party to deprive
