From the Charleston Courier of March 20. LATE FROM ENGLAND.

By the British barque Mary Catherine, arrived at this port last evening from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 14th February, we have received Lon don papers of the evening of the l2th and Liverpool papers of the morning of the 14th ult.
 Matters appear to be yet quite unsettled on the continent. The Duke of NEMoURs, second son of PHILIP, King of the French. had been elected King of Belgium, but the French Government have re- jected the offer, thus throwing back the Belgium Congress the question which they supposed was set tied. The place not filled at our latest dates.
 The British Parliament assembled on the third of February.
 The Chancellor ofthe Exchequer has proposed to Parliament to lay duty of one penny per pound on all raw Cottons imported, with drawback duty to the same amount on all manufactured Cottons ex- ported In consequence of this proposition, it will be by reference to letters under the commercial head of this mornings Courier that the raw article had advanced 3-Sd in the Liverpool market.
 As letter writers have given different constructions of the intention of the British Government on this subject, copy below the language used on the casion in the House of Commons, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, asrepoed in the London Courier. Whether penny per pound is intended to be the whole duty. so much in addition to the six per cent now levied. we leave to our readers to determine.
 In Committee of the Whole of the House of Com mons Feb. II the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer said:

Mnseumof NatSrdt History-Mr Wm.M MILAN, Librarian and Collector of Natural History for the Museum of the University of Alabama has just re- turned from excursion to Mobile with an interest ing collection of sea-fowls, fishes and shells. While at Mobile Point, It. Ogden presented him with a living COATIMONDI, native of South America. which, together with the specimenSobtainod mny be seen at the University. Mir M informed us that he procured about twenty-five species of the larger wa ter fowls both of those that inhabit fresh water as we'll those that congregate about the shore and bays. Among those he obtained the Pelican, Tern Gull, Sea Mew, and Sand Birds; also, the Canvass-back Duck, American Widgeon, Bu1le- head and several other species of Ducks. In conse- quence of the barrenness of the shores of Mobile Point and Dauphin Island he was unable to pro- cure many shells, but to make amends for this dis appointment Capt. Foster. of one of the revenue cutters, presented him with small collection, ga- thered at Tampa Bay in Florida
 MT M'Millan deserves much praise for his ndefati- gable exertions in endeavoring to form Museum worthy othe patronage of the friends of the Unver- sity; and we hope the appreciation and support of the Board of Trustees will be extended far enough to bring full maturity this useful and interesting appendage of the University.

vernon Cass has contributed much to the improve ment of that perishing race, whose character and present condition he is so intimate with. Possessing their confidence in eminent degree, and residing and travelling the greater paro his life among them, he had ascertained the best method to provide for their support, and to restrain them from injuring each other. The opinion of such an experienced agent in Indian affairs will in due time be approved of by the reaecting portion of mankind, who have witnessed very little else in the history of these peo- pie but ruling propensity for war, and total alien ation from those measures which would prepare them for the elements of civilization.

From the Washington Globe of March IS.


 The Telegraph continues it's attacks on the Globe in the absence of the editor. On Thursday, that paper asks, among other silly questions, HAy has Mr Van Barren established Me Gl0be?"
 The writer of this knows all about the establish- ment of the Globe; and he ayers, that Mir Van Bu- ren had no more agency in it than MT Calhoun. It is not and never has been, pledged to the present or ultimate support of Mir Van Buren If the ed- tor of the Telegraph would take retrospect of his own designs, nrigues, conversations and correspon- dence for the last eighteen months, which hate not been concealed from the real friends of the admins traton he would not look the future interessbfthe Secretary of State for the origin of the Globe But for intrigues, hostile to Gen. Jackson himself to the peace. usefulness and efficiency of his admhistrs- tion, of which that editor was the principal lgent the establishment of this paper would have been discouraged and it is presumed, would never have taken place.
 We need not dwell upon the condition Gen Jack son would have been placed in on recent octasion had he been obliged to rely altogether on such FRIENDS as the Telegraph.
 Guilt is always suspicious. Real plotters and in- triguers think every body else is plotting and in- triguing also. In this case, they have endeavored to conceal their own schemes in the loudness d their denunciations against others. They may thankthe selves for the establishment of the Globe; and oth- CTS will thank it's editor for the prompttude with which he has aided in turning the effects of their ambitions plans, with irresistible force, upon their own heade

We have seen enough of private letters and public papers to satisfy us, that MT Calhouns ill-advsed attempt to bring his private quarrels into the public discussions of the country, has utterly destroyed all chances for his political advancement, which his "nuiii ifeation" had leh.

The Inquirer of this place, has run up the Calhoun flag, with the evident intention of pledging the State of Alabama for that gentleman, should he offer for President, but denies him all those honors in Nul lfcation and Anti-Masonry which have been the boast of his followers to the south for year or two past. This is rather nasty assertion for the Hero of Marengo, who for once has mistaken the signals of his party which has awarded the merits of both projects to their avorite in loud and long harangues
 In due time a renunciation of this opinion may be looked for, which the spies for the Inquirer have fail. ed to report correctly in their midnight rambles- With what grief and modification will the Presi- dent, the Editors of the Georgia Journal, and the whole country, learn the fact, that the Inquirer has decided for the Telegraph in the coming struggle, and Jeff them to their fate. If the President knew the Hero of Marengo, and had heard of his achieve ments last fall, with double barrel pistol, he would certainy promote him and his elbow friend, who is known to be profound scholar and an excellent writer," into the body guards of Col. Stump, who figured so largely at E-not-e-chop-co. .

Georgia and the Charlottesville Supreme Court of the United States has adjourned after pronounce ing decision on this case. The application for an injunction, the part of the Cherokee Nation, to stay the proceedings of Georgia, has been denied and the Court disclams all jurisdiction of the case, "on the ground that the Cherokee Nation is not foreign nation, in the sense of the constitution These Indian Nations, Gin the opinion of majority of the Court, not souereigns independent of the sovereignty of the United States but bear relation corresponding that which wards have their guar dians." This is the substance of the opinon as de- livered by Chief Justice MARSHALL, which the Ma tional Intelligencer considers to have been drawn up by him. Justice BALDwIs delivered long se- parate opinion, concurring in part with the above, but denying some important points agreed to by a majority of the Court. Mir Justice JOHNSON also, delivered separate opinion on the question.
 The State of Georgia having made herself a party to this controversy has waited without con- cern 10 see how the Cherokees and Supreme Court would manage to get clear of the case
 Her determination has been to arrest and try the Missionaries, and other struggling malcontents as the sherfs could bring them to justice, and to provide for removing the Indians, which humanity and necessity both loudly call for.
