A MONTH LATER FROM ENGLAND.

Der. and the ship Napoleon, OF the "A Decemoer
from Liverpool, have both arrived at New York,
giving us from England accounts one month
later than previously received.
The most important intelligence, at this mo-
ment, to our community, indeed to the wnole
country. is considerable and unantclpateo I'LL
proyemeat in the price of the great Staple u
Cotton.
Some annrehensions existed, we learn, that
American Stocks sent TO England for sale, might
with the bills drawn against them, be returned
by these packets Nothing ofthe sort, however,
has occurred.
In political matters the most interesting Is
that which concerns the growing difficulties be-
tween England and France on the one side, and
Russia on the other, ostensibly, respecting the
navigation of the Black Sea, but in truth, De-
cause of the design becoming more and more
manifest ofRussia to possess herself, gradually,
butsurely, of the magnificent ruins ofthe Turkish
Empire in Europe.
tits said that the partition of Turkey was re-
solved upon the late conference at Munchen-
Gratz that Russia and Austria are to be the &C
tive agents in the affair; while Prussia will keep
France in check on the Rhine. correspon-
dent of the Times says
"The scheme of Joseph IL. and Catherine II.
as concocted prior to 1890, is about to be re-
allied The death of Mahmoud is TO be the
signal; and that event is hourly predicted by his
own subjects, who detest him, and who hate the
Russians more in consequence OF their having
come to support him. 1t is even affirmed that
the treaty of partition was signed between the
despoilers at their late meeting in Shesla.

cape her grasp; Austria is therefore invited, as
in the case of Poland, to take share. The
cautious proceedings SO long adopted by the
Cabinet ofthe Kremlin, of moving step by step
and securing every position, must soon be aban-
doned; and Russia and Austria no longer act
ing as foes, are resolved with the speed of vul-
lures to devour the spoil. In France, the want
is felt of great military leader who could coun-
teract the project by bold display OF power
England is compelled, for selfdefence, to pre-
vent the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Russia by aiding
France One step on the part Of any statesman
may, on the death of Mahmoud, involve Tur-
key and light the blaze of war in Italy and
along the line ofthe Rhine"
1t does not appear what authority the writer
possesses for these assertions. The facts, how
ever, which he states, and the consequences an
ticipated from them, are sufficiently plausible.
BY an article we copy from the Times, it will
be perceived that both France and England are
sensiby increasing their naval force aaoat, and
the only plausible explanation of these prepare
tons seems to be, that of holding in check or If
necessary, acting Extensively against Russia, in
the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
From Spain and Portugal we have no direct
accounts, later than those received by the pack
ets Details, however, are supplied by them, OF
some interest.
The London Spectator thus speaks Of the
condition of the internal affairs Of both these
countries.
The report of the dismissal of NJ. Cruz, the
War Minister at Madrid, is confirmed but Zea
Bermudez still retains his post. Nj. Zarco del Viii
le a decided LIBERAL and friend OF the Marquis
De las Amarillas is appointed to the War de-
partment adinterim; and there seems to be no
doubt that the interest of the Liberals in the
Queens councils has lately been much strength
ened. Great efforts have been made to procure
the removal OF Zea Bermudez, by Count Florida
Blanca who has addressed strong Ant-Min-
sterial letter to the Queen; but the Minister has
hitherto possessed the firm support of NJ Ray
neval, the French Ambassadors; and until that
fails him, it is believed his place will be tolerably
secure.
Sars6eld has resigned the immediate COM
mand of the army to General Valdez, and is APP
pointed Vice Roy of Navarro. 1t seems that
his long, and apparently unaccountable inaction
at Burgos, was owing to want of vigor, or per-
haps TO treachery, In the late Minister of War,
Cruz; by whom he was left unsupped with the
necessary reinforcements, and hampered with
contradictory orders The vigorous represen-
tations of the Liberals, and the growing dissat-
isfaction in the capital, at length compelled the
Queen to interfere. Saarsheld sent in his resig-
nation of the command; but first insisted upon
putting virtual end TO the war by the capture OF
Vittoria and Bilboa.
The accounts from Portugal are unsatisfacto-
ry, to all who wish for speedy termination OF
the contest Don Pedro gains no ground in the
interior, and succeeds principally in disgusting
his daughters best friends in the capital. NJ
Carvalho his Prime Minister is hated as hear
tily as his master; but in his position, what
Minister, could be popular for a month together.
Miguel has lately increased his force at San
tarem by recruits; and the arrival of detach-
ment of 900 men from his army, before Opor-
to, enables him once more to assume the often
sive. He has despatched troops into the Allen
tejo, with the intention it was supposed, of at
