FROM Ell II o u Il .


BY The packet ship Gladiator, Captain
Br;ttcn, we have London dates to the l2th
ult.-,ix days later than our previous advl.
ces. The intelligence is not Of remarkable
interest.
LORD DURHAM. The English papers
ore filed with comments on Lord Dur
hams conduct in Canada, and the procla
| nation he published when resignlDg his
government. The tory papers, as might
be expected, are indignant beyond measure
With him, and abuse him in no measured
4 terms. The Morning Chronicle, which IS
the organ of the Administration, also tinds
fault with his Lortship's conduct in taking,
as it says, such hasty and undignltied
way of abandoning his government. Sew
era Of the Wing or Radical papers, how
ever defend him and on the whole, his
Lordship seems to have n pretty equal
share of praise and blame for his conduct,
during his short career Of government IN
Canada.
We perceive by the following paragraph
from tho London Morning Chronicle, that
the English government had scnt fleet to
South America, and that some of the
French Journals have expressed unoasines SIS
as to its objects.
The msconception Of some of our French
contemporaries renders it necessary to oh
serve that the English fleet which has pro
ceeded to South America has done so with
the most friendly intentions. Mr.. Paken-
ham is instructed upon his arrival to put
| al in ia ID rol t,pp =
with the French Admiral.
ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. The latest
accounts from Constaniinople, which reach
to the 9Th ult., contain nothing to justify
the alarming intelligence communicated a
few days ago, so very exclusively, by a
morning contemporary, who ut times ap-
pears gifted with the faculty of second
sight to a most marvellous extent. There
is one way certainly Of insuring priority
Of intelligence, and lucky guess now and
then is apt TO tempt TO the renewal of the
venture; but at present, even were Russia
disposed to hazard war with England,
the season, we are inclined TO. believe, is
now so far advanced that O Russian fleet
passing the Bosphorous would be forced to
winter in the Mediterranean, or TO take
and keep Constantlnople, Tor in case of an
unsuccessful engagement with the English
the Russian ports in the Black Sea might
easily be frozen up before their ships could
, return thther. There will be no war thu
7 winter. This is our Fl m persuasion. Ant
this time next year, we trust, we shall nave
the same consollng prospect before U.s.

LONDON, Nov 9Th.
The morning papers of this day are the
. most embarrassing tina, have seen for {
g long time; they are dull in the extreme
, The Durham proclamation affords them the
. principal subject for discussion, and al
among them, Wing, Radical and Tory
unite in condemning Lord Durham's appea

. Ministry, and Imperial Parliament. The
Times dubs the noble Earl the Lord High
Seditioner," and the Government press la
bors hard to arouse Tory feeling agains
y him throughout the country. Al parties
O Of the press now attack his want Of tact
, temper, dignity, and even patriotism; the,
portray him as ga thing of self" u mer,

assure you that in all private society wher
have been, his lordship's proclamation i
deemed highly spirited, eloquent, an,
