! New YoRK, July 10.
/ A foreign arrival and sad news must be
the subject of my letter to day. The Pack
ct Ship Oxford, Captain R.thbone, arrived
this morning, having sailed from Liverpool
on the morning OF the Sd OF June. The dates
are six days later than previously Received
by the ship Parthenon, at Boston. The lat.
est dates received in England, from the U.
niiea States, were carried out by the Packe
Ship Roscoe, which sailed from New York
on the morning of the 9Th of NAV. The
banks IN this city, you will remember, sue
! pended specie payments on the morning of
| the 10Th, only one day after the depau ture of
the Roscoe The last news, therefore, re-
ceiVed IN England from the United States
was The worst. Prior TO The arrival OF the
Roscoe, the Directors Of the Bank of Eng
land were in session, engaged upon promo
sItien, submitted 10 them by the American
merchants, for the continuation to them of
the support oil the Bank up 10 the close ofthe
year, instead OF the beginning of August.

answer on the part Of the Bank 10 the ueii-
zion OF The merchants. News, however. in

! 10 days from the United States. Tb. news
was eagerly sought for by the Board of Di-
rectors, and the reading oft had the worst
possible effect upon their deliberations. The

application rejected.
This news, as was 70 be expected, waa but
