NINE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

NRw.YoRK. JUKE lS.
 The packet ship England. Capt. Maxwell, arrived yesterday morning from Liverpool, having sailed on the 0th ult.
 As all eyes are turned towards France, we find that Mr. Livingston sailed from Havre on the sth fer the United States on board of the C0nstitntion. She may be hourly expect- ed. The EOgland has beat this fine Frigate. The Havre Journal states that the Ameri. can frigate Constitution had arrived in the rOadstead on her return from Cherbourg, and that Commodore Elliott and several of the of. fcers had landed iD the pilot boat. The Con- stItutiOn continued under sail about four leagues of. the wind heinz light and nOrther- Iy. It was expected that Mir. Livingston and his family would embark on the following day, and immediately make sail for the Uni. ted States. 1t is hinted in the Messager that an amendment in the law on the subject of the American treaty is to be proposed in the Chamber of Peers by some friend of the Government, with view to its relief from the consequences of the demand for satisfaction introduced by General Valazo in the Cham. Der of Deputies.
 In other French Journals it is said that au attempt would be made in the House of Peers to defeat the bill; as however, the Ministry had carried the bill through the Chambers,
 
 The Peers had not taken up the Indemni- ty bill, being engaged in the trial of the Lyons consP'rators-the proceedings thus far being only preliminary. The Courier Francais says of MT. Living ston, '' He evinced much Il humor when he quilted Paris, and said plainly that he consid- cred the passing of the law, as amended, more insulting than the rejection of the law it. seIt could have been, since, had this been the case, it would have taken place against the wish of the Government; whereas now Gov ernment and the Chamber, insist on President Jackson's retraciion."
 MT. Livingston left his Secretary in charge of the legation; but, with instructions. as is understood. to leave Paris, if the bin as it went from the Deputies. should be passed by the Peers.
 The whole English Press appeared to be engaged in the discussion of the causes of the Tory victory over Lord John RusseI in South Devonshirr. who was beat by Mir. Thompson by over 6o0 maj jority. This was followed with an exercise of the Kings prerogative in very unusual manner, by the revocation of the commission {" Lord H-ytesbury as Gov ernOr General of India. of Lord Amherst as Commissioner to Canada, and of Sir Howard Douglass as Governor of the Ionian Isles.- All these functionaries had been appointed by Sir Robert Peel. had made all their arrange ments, and were on the point of emharking. Mir. Chas. Grant, created Baron Gleneig, is to be the Governor of India.
 In Portugal affairs are quiet. The Young Queen attended in person to proroguc the Cories.
 Both Chambers had addressed her to choose another husband. and she had replied to the DeputatiOns that though she was Op- l H, hos aho their advice into consideration. and that they might expect from her those sacrifices which the country demands.
 Disgrocefal Riots.-Onr city for the pas! { week has been the scene of series of rets
 which with solitary exception were perpe- 1 trated without the semblauce of a provoca- l tion. On Monday evening gang of white men assembled with clubs before house DC. cupied by negro family in Front street and continued there one or two hours threatening and daring the inmates out. On Tuesday evening the same or similar set made dis tufbapce at the African Meeting House, and nFoceeded thence to the corner of Talcott and Frost streets. where they awaited the return of the fnegroes from the church, and when they appeared, commenced an assault upon them. One of them, who had not been mo tested and lived near, ran home, took his gun loaded with shot. and returning immediately knocked one ofthe rioters down and discharg. ed 1t at the others. The shot took effect in the side of one and the right arm of another, dangerously wounding the former. For this wanton disregard Of human life in firing at those assembled. there was not the least prov oeatl"n or excuse, as the negro who did it had not been attacked OF moles,ed is the least possible degree. He was soon arrested and on "Wednesday was bound over to the Supe- rior Court to answer to the crime of making an assault with intent to murder. On the same evening of the outrage, the persons who had first assembled, in connection with many others. proceeded to the house occupied by the negro and razed it to the ground.
 On Wednesday evening the rioters in con- siderable numbers tore down two other negro houses. situated in Sinking Fund, in the north east part of the city.
 On Thursday night the Governors Guards assembled at the City Hall, by the order of the Sheriff to be in readiness to disperse any mob that might be collected. No attack. how l ever, was made upon any building, and col 1 lection in Commerce street Af about 200 riot 1 CTS. after haliooing and hooting for two or three hours, returned peaceably to their l
 Seven of the ringleaders in this disgracefu, l aha'r have been arrested and are now under | goinS an examination before Justice. Johnson. Much credit is due to the Sheriff far th.. afe..t
