From the Ne1o York Gazette.

The arrival of the packet ship North America,
Capt. Macy from Liverpool, puts us in possession
of our English files of papers, which enables, us
to add a few items not before received, together
with back ship news.
In our last London paper, we find news from
Constantinople to the 10Th of December 1t is
stated, that the American frigate United States
sailed from Constantinople on the 23d Novem-
ber for Smyrna and Mahon. Previous to her
departure Commodore Patterson, accompanied
by his Flag Captain and the American Charge
d'Affairs, were admitted to an interview with
the Sultan on which occasion his hghness was
very gracious, but neither party had anything
particular to say. The next day large party
of Americans, ladies included, were permitted
to 90 over the splendid new Palace at Stavros,
on the Bosphorus, where an infinity OF musical
clocks were set to play for their amusement
Republicans, it is added have their privileges
even with despots, and the very sailors VINO
manned the various boats OF the frlgate entered
with the crowd into the Palace, to examine ana
admire as freely as the best OF them.
It is stated in an article from Smyrna, of Nov.
81 there were then in that Bay, the Austrian,
British, French and American squadrons. In
addition to the United States and Constellation
frigate, the Delaware.
Lord Grenville, who acted such conspicuous
part in the Pitt administration during the French
Revolution. died in England on the 18th Of Jan.
in his 18th year.
They talk in England of founding CONNER
ca ocety, in which the Cotton Manufacturers,
the Bank and the Government will take part
Our letters of the 10th state that the kenslng-
ton is in the same position. 1888 bags have Deen
discharged into flats: the vessel is scuttled, cot
ton wet and much damaged.
Some of the London papers express the Ut
most establishment that the President OF the U.
States should, by his hostility to the Bank, reduce
the country to so much distress as is observable
in the-American journals. (And well they may)
