LATEST FROM ENGLAND.


BY the arrival of the packet ship Sam
uel Robertson, Capt. Griswold, from
London and last from Portmouth, whence
she sailed on 22d Aug, the Editors ofthe
MERcANTiLE ADVERTISER have received
papers from the former place to the 2lst,
and from the latter of 22d Aug.
In the British House of Commons, the
Reform Bill still continued under discus
sion at the latest dates: on the 18th Aug.
an amendment Of Lord Chsndos, provid-
ing That tenants at will, paying ESQ per
annum rent, shall be entitled to vote for
county members, was carried against the
ministry. A London paper of 2lst Aug.
says, it is reported that misunderstand-
ing prevails in the cabinet respecting the
late alterations in the bill. 1t is added,
'We trust that this difference is not of a
serious nature. For the sake of the
country may it be speedily adjusted, for
without unanimity there, the great meas
ure must fail"
The Dutch troops were retiring from
Belgium, and it was anticipated that they
would have crossed the frontiers on 18th
Aug. The French troops had not re-
turned to their own territory; several ru-
mors are ahoat on the subject; among
them-that France will occupy the Bel
giaa fortress, which would certainly be
disapproved of by England-that until
peace is finally concluded between Hol-
land and Belgium, the troops will con-
tinue in Belgium, for Leopold, conscious
of the pusillanimous spirit of his people,
is fearful Of second invasion Of the
Dutch.
In the French Chamber of Deputies,
the Casimir Perrier administration, have,
on the address of the King, found them
selves in large and unexpected aori-
ty. Perrier, will consequently remain in
office. On the address, very stormy
debate took place on the 18th Aug al
most bordering on tumult On the fol-
lowing day it rather subsidized, and on the
18th when the division was called, the
opposition mustered only 73 votes, while
282 voted for the Ministers-leaving the
large majority 2O9. Whatever may be
the feelings of the people Of France to-
wards the Poles, this vote presages no
aid in arms from France, what result ne
gotiation may have, is yet to be seen.
From Warsaw our dates reach to the
4th of August We find nothing of new
or decisive character in them. The dali
ly expectation was, that great battle
would be fought-the Poles appear to be
in good spirts-lcss fearful of the ter
mination of the struggle, than many of
their wel-wshers elsewhere.
According to a stateme mt in the House
of Lords, which was acknowledged by
Lord Palmerstontob be correct, the French
still held possession Of the whole Of the
Portuguese squadron captured in the Ia
gus, except one line of battle ship, that
took no part in the action, which was Civ
en- up.
