LATER FROM EUROPE.

The ship South America, Captain Banton
at New York, from Liverpool, brings accounts
from that port TO April 9Th, aud from London
to April 9TH; brings two days later than
those by the Susannah Cumming nt Boston
The Charles Carroll, at New York, from llav
re, brings accounts from that port also to the
9Th.
The principal news by this arrival has beer
anticipated by the Susannah Cumming.
We find no commercial news later thar
the 9Th the 9TH was Sunday, and the ships
LETT Monday the 9Th. Cotton was dull at The
decline already noticed. Wheat was in more
active request, with slight advance. To
bacco was firm, with full sales.
The boundary question by no means ex'
cites that degree Of interest in England
which was anticipated. The universal i'm
preston is, that the whole affair will be ad.
justed speedily, and without any serious diff
ticulty.
The increase of crime both in England ant
France is spoken OF as very great.
The French Chambers were opened on the
Hth Of April. The King did not appear il
person, being probably alarmed at the signs
of popular excitement and coDmotion. A
large concourse assembled in front of the
Chambers, but were driven back by the mill
tary.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM
VERA CRUZ.

BY the arrival Of the schooner Carter
Braxton, from Vera Cruz, which place she
left on the l7th inst we have received intel
hgence that General Mcxia still remained
within fifteen leagues Of the city. Reports
had reached Vera Cruz on the l7th inst. that
the delay Of General NJ. was caused by the
non arrival Of some of the vessels which he
had chartered to bring his artillery, &c. The
arrival Of the schr Andrew Jackson at Mo-
bile accounts in part for his inactivity.
All the French and English vessels of war
had sailed from Vera Cruz excepting five
French and two English. The U. s. sloops
of war Nandala and Ontario sailed on the
10th inst. sor Lnguna u. s. revenue cutter
Woodbury. was to sail for Tampico on the
18th. Business was at a stand great con-
fusion prevailed among the people prcpa-
rations were making to defend the city, and
the attack from Gen. Mexia was hourly ex-
pected.- .Ntw Orleans .4dreriiser, April ID.
