LATE FROM EUROPE.

4,h of June, and the Havre packet Louis
philippe. which suiled on the 18th, we have 7
ldvices from London TO the 18th and Paris to
he 18th ipclusive7-being the long and anx-
ously expected news Of the effect produced
in Europe by the suspension Of specie pay
ments in this country. .4s--- u
As was to be expected, this event has cal
led forth much speculation, considerable anx-
iety, some commotion, and not little vitu-
peration against the Americans. We are
pleased to see, however, that some OF the
London journals have had sagacity enough
to perceive, and the candor to acknowledge,
the Willingness Of debtors in America to DIS
charge their obligations, and the probability
that their power to do so would be increased
by the event in question. The LONDON
Times displays none Of its Wanted astu'e-
nees, aud pours forth a sufficient Hood oi OBJ
loqny upon US aud our country.
We do not see that new commercial dill
fculties ar embarrassments have taken place
to any great extent in England. Various
houses were applying to the Bank tor ana,
and il was thought not improbable that AID
would be granted. Among others the long
established house of Brown, Brothers 4 Co.
was confideHl Of assistance to any required
extent.
The news of the suspension was carried TO
Liverpool by the Europe, and to Havre by
the Suliy; the former arrived on the llth OF
June. the latter OH the 18th. These vessels
also took out the intelligence OF the call OF
Congress.
The Liverpool cotton markets are to the
l5th-priccs still continued firm at that date.
The King Of England is probably gathered
10 his fathers before this time. The daily
bulletins were signed by three physicians,
and although worded very cautiously, as
usual gave no hopes Of his recovery. The
last, OF June IS, merely stated that he had
passed q tranquil night, and seemed refreshed
in the morning. His death had been actually
reported, but premnturely. His majesty's
symptoms appear to be very like those which
preceded the death Of George w.
There was fearful steamboat explosion
at Hull on the 10Th Of June. The boat was
at the wharf taking in passengers, when the
boiler burst, tearing the vessel to pleces--as
must necessarily be the case with English
steamers, in the event Of an explosion, the
boilers being under the deck. Nineteen
bodies had been found, but it was feared that
many more had perished, as sixty persons
were supposed to be on board.
The House Of Lords had again postponed
the committee on the Irish municipal reform
bill, TO the 3rd Of July, by vote of POS to
Ii9. The motion was made by Lord Lynd-
hurst, and opposed by Lord Melbourne. Nu
other peer spoke on the question. The rea-
son assigned was the same as before--the
necessity or Importance Of having all the
other measures relating to Ireland, before
the house, that it might consider them to-
gether.
The poor princess Victoria is overwhelmed
with addresses from all parts Of the kingdom.
She is considered to be very near the throne,
Just now.
The failure OF Messrs. Ramsbottom & Co.,
Of Manchester, is announced in the London
papers. Also Of Thomas Dixon g. Co., oi
Liverpool; but il is stated that this latter
house will pay ten shilings in the pound i'm.
inediately, resume business very soon, ant
ultimately pay all the creditors in full.
A great excitement was created among
the surgical and medical gentlemen of Lon
don, by the successful operation of tying ths
great artery, called the arteria innominata.-
II was performed in less than Is minutes BY
professor Lizars, for the first time in Engla
1t was once performed successfully by DR.
Graefe, of Berlin, and once in this city by
Doctor Mott.
FRANCE.
Paris was beginning to feel the commercial
arrangement very sensibly. The well known
American banking house Of Welles Il Co
had become so embarrassed that it could moi
meet its engagements. A number of French
banking houses had come forward to its aid
and by their guarantee obtained from the
Bank Of France loan Of four millions o
francs, on condition that the house shall vino
up its aflulrs.
The French general Bugeaud has patched
up a sort of treaty of peace with Abd-el.ka

SPAIN.
The advices from the armies are to the I'll
Of June, but they are not important. Their
had been some skirmshing, but it was at

Csrlists were still pressing toward Cataloni,
