LATER FROM EUROPE.

The packet ship Independence at New
York has brought London papers of tho
3iih January. We copy the subjoined in-
tcligence from the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser:
The papers are filled with notices of aud
extracts from Sir Robert Pecl's speech at
Glasgow, and articles respecting the in-
flucnza. This epidemic appears to have
ragged very widely and in an exceedingly
malignant form. Very great numbers OF dis
persons are named as suffering
from it, and the list of eminent deaths is un-
usually large-not all, however, by infiuen-
"a.
In consequence ofthc prevailing epldcm-
Ic, the king had given up his intention TO
open the session of Parliament in person.,
bat was expected to leave Brighton for ST
James'ston the Odd of February.-The dis
ease existed there also, for we notice the
death of Lady Codrington by it, on the 22d
pf Jan. II had also carried off Sir John
Soane, the celebrated architect, in his S5th
year.
Mr. McNish, Of Glasgow, author Of the
"a Philosophy Of Sleep" the " Anatomy OF
Drinking" and ofthc papers IN BlacAXood
signed "a modern Phythagoreon." died al
Glasgow on the Both January, in his 10th
year.

Orleans, from SisnI, which latter she left
tan to the 18th ult.
Notwithstanding The apparently authen-
tic assurances we have had that Santa
Anna would be fayorably received, and that
the Government had even officially direc-
ted the subordinate authorities to treat him
with all due respect, 1t now would seem
that Bustamente has obtained entire pos
session of the Government, and pursuing a
course the reverse of what had been stated
Among tho matters he determined to re-
move Toro, Santa Annals brother law,
from the command of the Yucatan depart
ment to substitute Brigadier Rivas Zayas,
the present Governor of Campeachy, and
personal enemy of Santa Anna, in his place
An armed government schooner came to
Cnmpeachy from Vera Cruz with Senior
Nestor Escudero on board, to effect this OBJ
ject Much excitement was thereby occa-
stoned among the friends of Santa Anna at
Merida, the seat of Government, and Toro
declared he would listen TO no proposition
that did not come from Santa Anna him
self. The schooner of war Bravo, with the
notorious pirate, Thompson, as commander
arrived at Ssal, Feb. 6, when Thompson
proceeded up to Nerd for the purpose, it
is said of arres,ing Toro aud carrying him
to Vera Cruz.
Great excitement prevailed at Nern Cruz
and the Mexican fleet under command Of
Lopez, consisting of briggs and , schoon-
ers, sailed thence the lst of February, it
was said, to intercept Santa Anna. One
of the briggs, it is asserted, had arms, &c
on board brought from England, and is
destined for Matamoros.
The army under Bravo, 5000 strong,
were, it is said, positively to march for
Texas in February, in two divisions, one by
way of the coast, the other by Behar.
1t is supposed the invasion, however,
will be deferred until Santa Anna is dis
posed of.

who had awaited him so fondly. Henrech
felt sad and oppressed when he saw a,
distance, his beloved home, aud seating
himself on the green turf, he poured forth
his feelings IN simple song, melancholy AS
happiness itself-The next day at sunset,
the village bells rang merrily to announce
the marriage of Henreich aud Marie, which
was to take place, the following morning.
Al this moment the lovers were walking a.
lone on the borders of the Rhine. They
seated themselves on the mossy bank, and
remained, for several minutes, gazing silent
ly around them. The feelings of their
souls were far too deep for words. The
purple tints which the sun left were become
of pale golden hue, and the dark shadows
of night, were fast covering the heavens
Both knew that they ought to leave the
sweet spot, where they had fingered so long
Marie wished to treasure some memorial of
this happy evening, and pointed out to her
companion, the little SKY blue flowers, which
grew on the bank of the river. IIenreicb
knew her meaning, and attempted TO gath
er some of them; but his foot slipped, and
/ he sunk in the water. Twice he rose above
the waves, but twice the dark waters re-
gained their prey. The second time that
he appeared, turning towards Marie, he
threw her the little blue blossoms, which he
had kept in his hand but this movemeu,
was his last. Again he sank; the waves
closed calmly over their victim the waters
pursued their course, and the stream, was
once more, placid as n mirror.-Poor Ma

Terds-Tho New Orleans Bulletin oI
Feb. Goth, says that dates to the l0tl, inst
had been received there, which bring little
news of importance, except the resignation
of Gen. Rusk, of the state secretaryship.
Gen. J. =. Henderson had been appointed
IN his place. The i'll health of Gen. Rusk
is SAID to have rendered this step necessary
on his part. Col. Peter w. Grayson has
been appointed attorney general.
La reference to the Mexican forces and
the prospect of another campaign ia Texas,
we make the following eXtrac, frsm the
Texas Telegraph:
We learn from gentleman who has
just arrived from Bexar, hat Mr.. Navarro
had reached that place a few days before he
left. He states that the Mexican forces
destined for Texas, are in state Of in
subordnation, badly clothed aud worse fed,
many of whom are in irons, and the re-
mainder say they will stay there and fight
the Texans If they invade Mexico, but that
they will not and cannot be forced into
Texas. lie further states that Bravo had
reached Saltillo to take the command. bu,
hnding the army in such a di,organiscd con-
iltlon. and no money provided for their pay,
&c had returned to Mexico in disgust. Mr..
Navarro thinks theirs is no dagger Of an in

Consul at Santa Martha, dated the Sd of
February, six days later than before recciv-
ed, states that the British Commodore Pey-
ton had declared all New Grenada under "a
rigorous blockade ; several men of war were
cruizing before Carthagena, and that large
trigate was before that place.
1t was, however, still expected that the
differences between the two countries
would be settled amicubly IA sentence of
