LATEST FROM EUROPE.
NEw YORK, March Is,

The new and fast sailing ship Salem,
Captain Richardson, arrived last evening
from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the
ooh ult. BY this arrival, the editors Of the
Commercial Advertiser have received their
regular files Of London and Liverpool pa
pers--the former to the 10Th, and the lat
ter to the Goth.
A debate arose in the house of Com
mons Oh the 18th February, on motion of
mr.. Hobhouse, for a vote Of thanks to Sir
Edward Codrngton, and the officers under
him, for the victory Of NavarIn. 1t is thus
summarily no ticed in the New Times:
Mr.. Hobhouse supported his motion by
an appeal TO the precedents of Copenha.
gen and Algiers which, especially the lat
ter, he contended were cases strictly in
point with that ofNavarin. Mr.. Hobhouse' 8
motion was opposed by mr.. Husklsson, who
denied that any analogy existed between
the cases cited by mr.. Hobhouse and that
Of Nayarin. mr.. Huskisson, in the course
of his speech, pronounced labored eulo-
gium on the high merits of the Duke Of
Wellington. The speech Of the Right
Honorable Secretary was more than usu-
ally ineffective, and was received by the
house, in many instances, with audible
murmurs, and in some with ill-repressed
laughter. Sir James ackintosh spoke at
length on mr.. Hobhouse's motion, and was
followed in most able and temperate
speech by mr. Peel who, though he adopt
cd nearly the same line Of argument as the
Colonial Secretary, was frequently inter
rupted by the cheers of the House. Sir
Francis Burdett followed mr.. Peel.
In the course of the debate it was dis.
tnctly avowed by the ministers, messrs.
tIuskisson and Peel that the Government
| were determined TO carry into the strIctest
execution the Treaty of the 9th ofJuly.
After some further debate, mr.. Hobhouse
withdrew his motion.
| On the 18th of February, mr.. Secretary
, Peel moved in the House of Commons for
the appointment Of a select committee on
the present state Of the public income and
expenditure Of the United Kingdom and
to consider and report what further regu-
lations and checks it may be proper in the
opinion Of the committee to adopt, for the
purpose of establishing an efficient control
over all charges incurred, and all matters
1
application Of the public money, and what
further means may be adopted for the re-.
duction every part of the public expcndl-
ture, &c. The question was carried u
unanimously and large committee APP
pointed.
In the House Of Commons on the 18th Of
February, after the house had resolved
| themselves into committee ofsupply, the
ministers entered into explanations in full,
which occupied the whole day. mr.. Peel
stated, that he believed the Duke of Wei.
| lington would pursue a strictly neutra,
course on the Catholic question, and re-
presented the ministers as not pledged on
any subject He said he had declared to
the Duke that, in his opinion, if a decided
preference should be given to either the
agricultural, commercial, or manuiactur.
ing interest, it would be the ruin Of the
Government The Dukes reluctance to
accept the Premiership arose from an un-
Willingness to resign the command Of the
army.
Lord Hill has been appointed 10 the
command of the army, in the place Of the
Duke of Wellington. The powers to be
exercised by Lord Hill, will be the same
possessed by the Duke, though his title viii
be General ofthc Staff Lord Hill served
under the Duke in Spain and it is now
objected to his appointment, that it is in
fact no real separation Of the two Offices OF
commander in chief and prime minister, as
it is believed that his Lordship will be e.
qually as obcdept TO his orders now, as
when under his Grace's orders in Spain.
t. Ill L IL -
perable objection with mr. Canning, that
the military character OF the Duke could
not be merged in a civil station-that he
could never divest himself Of his influence
with the army.
tits said, that though the Duke Of Wei.
lington will be Premier, yet he will not
trouble himself with any but the more i'm
portant duties Of the Office: the details OF
business will be entrusted to mr.. Peel. The
patronage, however, will be entirely at the
disposal Of his Grace. Ifthis be true, the
Duke of Wellington, as late commander in
chief and Premier, will be the most pow
erful man in tho nation with roopcct to pat
ronage, the King himself not excepted.
