TEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.


We are happy to announce the arrival OF the
packet ship CHARLEMAGNE, Capt ROBINSON, IRON
Plymouth, to which port she had been compelled
to put back after leaving Havre.
To an attentive friend we are indebted Tor Lon
don pappers of the 18th, 10th and evening OF the
18th The most importan. intelligence they con
tain is that the Asiatic Cholera has made its APP
pearance in London-that it has reached elias
gow-and is spreading in Scotland bill has
passed the House of Commons investing Govern
ment with extraordinary powers, to prevent the
the spreading of the disorder There are no IN
dicatlons of extraordinary alarm prevailing a.
mong the population of the Great metropolis, still
the consequences to commercial men must be Sc
verelv felt We give an article from the Times
on this subject.
The places whore tho Cholera hoo broken Out
are all inhabited by the lower classes, sailors,
shpwrights, and persons connected with shipping.
They are Immediately the banks of the
Thames The Docks are all situated in Wap-
ping, Rotherhith and Limehouse, these are on
side of the River Southwark and Lambeth
the opposite side. The parish fire engines
had been ordered out, and were washing all the
houses in the streets and alleys where the disur-
der had shown itself. TWAS stated in the House
of Commons during the debate, that DR.. Henry,
of Manchester, had ascertained by experiments,
heat, at degrees varying from 100 to 200, will
disintect certain substances which have been sup
posed to be the greatest conductors of disease,
and if this can be put in practice it is thought it
would remove one of the most material obstruc-
tons in the way of commerce.
The Reform Bill was still in the House of
Commons. 1t had made some progress, and it
was positively asserted would pass in about ten
days; still, it is evidently material altered. The
Ministerial papers speak of it as deprived of some
of its most efficient provisions; but add, it is bet
ter to take it in its present shape than at all,
and that reformed House of Commons will have
1t IN their power to amend it.
The agitation IN Ireland had attained an alarm
ing height; extraordinary measures had been re-
sorted to by Government The 1.-THE system is
clearly the root of the evil.
We extract the most important news in rela-
ton to Belgium; the twenty four articles not
yet ratified, although the French papers contin-
ue to assert that they speedily will be. At Paris
all Is tranquil, and the rise in the French funds
is favorable symptom. The Austrian troops it
IS said are again about to evacuate Romagna !
We should however doubt this fact: certain it
seems to be that the French expedition is sent
there solely for the purpose of restoring the au-
thority of the Pope.
In the estimates for the navy presented by the
British Minister to Parliament, reduction is
made of one million sterling from the amount of
those the preceding year. A strong indication
we should think that the Government looks for
ward 10 continuance of general tranquility in
Europe
A letter from Lisbon positively states, that full
PREPARATION was about to be made by DON Miguel,
for the losses inflicted by his cruizers on Ameri-
can commerce. The measures taken by our Ad-
mnisration justify In expecting this result
We give an interesting statement from Belleisle,
which minutely pourtrays the state of Don Pc
dro's expedition.
The Charemagne coming from Plymouth, we
have not received by her our usual supplies of
Price Currents Shipping Lists and in conse-
quence our commercial and shipping matter will
be found more defective than usual.
Major General Lorenzo Moore had shot Mr.
Mics Staylton in duel fought near London, the
latter gentleman though dangerously wounded
was not dead. A lady was the cause of the mis-
understanding between them.
The following is an extract of a letter from
Lisbon, dated Feb. -
'The American ships captured by the Pertu.
guese naval forces before Terceira are about to
be restored. The Portuguese commander who
ordered the capture is to be suspended for year,
and an indemnity of nearly 600,000l. is to be
paid by the Portuguese treasury to the American
who may have suffered losses by the |
detention of the vessels" -N. Y. Courier & En-
