POSTSCRIPT.
LATEST AND HIGHLY IMPORTANT
FROM EUROPE
The fast sailing ship United States Captain Wilson,
arrived below last evening" having sailed from Liver
pool ON the 25th ultimo By her we have received
the evening Of the 18th Aug inclusive, which gave us
London dates nine days later than received yes
terday BY the Colombia from Cowes. We have also
to return our thanks to Captain Wilson for copious
files of the latest journals. VI
Y'he news is Of the most important character.
The papers furnish US with the unexpected inte-
gcnce Of
THE DEATH OF MR. CANNING,
which occurred OH the 9Th of August. His Illness
which had been increased for several days. became
clans issued bulletins the latter of which stated
that his life was considered in imminent danger. He
suffered under occasional deleum and severe attacks
OF paiu caused by inflammation. On his decease, Lord
Goderich was appointed, by his Majesty's command,
TO form new Cabinet, and assurances were given
that the government would be conducted on the same
principles as heretofore.-This gave conf
denee and frmDess to the Money market.
The Importance of this event can hardly be appre-
ciated. An English paper remarked some weeks ago.
that many interests had rarely been placed in the
hand of single individual. He was indeed an extra
ordinary man, formed for an extraordinary period in
the history Of his country and Of the world.
MR.. CANNING.
On the morning of Sunday, the fifth the physicians
issued bulletin, stating that Mr. Canning was "suf.
1erlng under very severe attack Of inflammation"
lu the evening they issued another, in these words:
1--WE lament to state, that the symptoms of Mr.
Canning's disease have become much worse since
the morning, that We consider his life to be in immi-
ncDt danger"
{Signed by the Physcians.)

After the issuing Of the egh O ohs s Dr.
,emained in attendance on Mr.. Canning. His illness,
was violent attack of Inflammation in his side,
which had extended to his lungs There was at one
time stoppage Of the bowels, which speedily
moved, but without any abatement Of the nAamation
is probable, that the general stte of Mr. Cannngs
digestive organs, and the remedies to which he had
been occasionally obliged to have recourse, may have
rendered the treatment Of his last fatal attack extreme
ly difficult:
Something remarkable was observed in the appear
Of the body For several hours the features
50 changed that they could not have been recognized
but in the course Of Thursday they resumed their orr
ginal placid aspect. During his delirium, his mind
was wandering on great political subjects. His body
placed in the coffin Thursday; but the day for
his funeral had not been fixed at that time.
The king wrote with his own hand an order to be-
stow the vacant appointment Of Commissioner of Gus
toms Mr. C.s private secretary, " as mark of re-
spect for Mr. Cannng's memory"
Mr. C.'s constitution, is stated, delicate,
and his disposition restless to bear up against his
constant "siege Of troubles" He had been afflicted
for several years with malades showing diseased
state Of the alimentary canal and his habits Of living
were not calculated to counteract them. He caught
violent cold at the funeral Of the Duke of York,
which increased them; and his constitution was
"breakng up when he was made Premier. He sui.
fcred most from the lumbago and took another cold
in returning from attending the King at Windsor on
the Both july which brought fit Of this disorder.
Since he entered the Premiership, all his ailments
have gone increasing until he carried off by
confirmed, though lingering inflammation of the intes
tines During the last stages Of that extremely pain
time, derious; nor did he at any time cry out in his
agony has been reported long intervals he was
perfectly sensible and composed; but little apprehen-
sion had he Of his immediate danger.

past has terminated in the mortal career of the cele-
brated individual whose unfortunate condition the
origin Of it. The situation of Mrs. Canning is truly
pable 1t seems, that short time before the decease
Of her husband she conversiug with him, and he
then spoke with perfect calmness aud composure. As
the conversation advanced however, she observed
that his voice gradually grew weaker and the signs Of
approaching dissolution in his countenance alarmed

this situation carried Of the by the atten

Mr.. Canning. Shc franticy impored of those around
her to let her know the worst. II had, however,
previously been agreed by the advice Of the physi-
clans that she should be suddenly informed Of what
bad happened, and she therefore, prevented from
proceeding into the room 10 which the corpse of her
husband lay. The body of Dir. Canning is frightfuy
