THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.


The news received since the publication
of our last paper, is of importance from
many points.
BY an arrival at New York from Liver
pool, European news up to the London
date of Nov. 10Th, has been received.
In England the subjects Of most interest
arc the money market, and the scarcity OF
provisions. The first is said to be easier,
but the last is exciting some alarm, as pro-
visions had to be shipped to Ireland, re-
versing the usual order of things.
In France futile attempt AT a revolution
was made on the Goth Oct. at Strasbure
and Vepdome. Prince Louis Bonaparte-
son, we believe, Of Lucien-was the princi-
pal mover in the attempt. 1t utterly failed
and the movers were arrested. 1t is said
the government knew it several months be-
fore the explosion.
From Spain the news is very unfavora-
ble for the Queens cause. The Charlist
General, Gomez, instead of being defeated
was marching through the kingdom, at the
head of $4,000 men, unchecked by the
Queens Generals. The Charlist's were
besieging Bilboa, and the Queens Gener-
ais had not been able to raise the siege
Gomez is popular, and the Queens Gener-
ais are not the soldiers of the latter deser,
aud some 60 over 10 the former. Poor Spain
are thy troubles never to cease is peace
never again to visit thy distracted land for
years have all the horrors of civil war been
thy portion, and yet no signs of any miti-
CATION Of those herrors are perceptable
Rejecting on thy state, should make us
prize more highly the blessings of our own
happy land, and make us guard with a
watchful eve, every point by which those
blessings may be assailed and snatcbed
from our grasp.
In Portugal nothing of importance ha:
occurred. The government was embarras.
cd for want of funds, and a change of min
istry was expected.
At Constantinople the plague was on the
increase, and inspiring more than ordinar,
terror by the rapidty of its diffusion.
From Chill we have heard, by an arriva
at New York from Bcunos Ayres, that the
attempted insurrection had been put down
by the capture Of the brig and schooner o.
which the insurgents had possessed them
selves. The leaders in the insurrec,ior
were all taken.
The release Of Santa Anna on the Goth
ult., and the advance Of the Mexican army
against Texas, are items Of importance
from that quarter. The latest intelligence
from Mexico states, that most of the Mexi-
can officers have an aversion against march.
ing to Texas, and that one battalion in the
city Of Mexico, had refused to march, on
account Of getting no pay. From oil ac-
counts it appears tina, the Government will
not be able TO send over 5000 troops or
the new campaign.
The U. s. ship Natchez, while at Vera
Cruz, had two seamen impressed from her
aad while eigh, others Of her crew
were ashore, they became inebriatcd, and
we're arrested aud lodged in Jail. On the
next day, an officer Of the Natchez, accom-
panied by the American Consul, deman-
ded their release, which was peremptorily
refused. The Commandant, vasquez, or.
dered them to be ironed, and intimsted his
intention to retain them to clean the streets
aud do other public labor. Later accounts
