ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.

The steam-p packet Britannia, Capt. Cleland
arrived at this port this morning, in thirteen
days and twenty hours from Liverpool. She
arrived out on the 9th of June, and sailed again
on the 10Th.
ENGLAND.-The most interesting rntelli-
gence brought by the Britannia relates to the
British Parliament, in which the Ministry
have sustained several defeats, and had deter
mined upon dissolution of that body, and the
trial of a new election.
Sir Robert Peel's motion for a censure Of
the Ministry was brought forward in the House
of Commons on the 5th of June, and passed
by majority of one. By this VOTE the House
have declared that the present Ministers of the
Crown do not possess the confidence of Par
lament, and that their continuance in Office
is at varience with the spirit of the Constitu-
ton. The announcement of this vote excited,
of course, great cheering from the opposition
members. Lord John Russell, the ministerial
leader, then rose, and stated that he should de-
lberate till Monday following, (this was on
Saturday evening" as to what course he should
pursue for the vindication of the Ministry.
On Monday he announced to the House his
intention of advising the Queen to dissolve
Parliament. Sir Robert Peel, who was prepared
to follow up his attack by opposing the supplies,
stated that in consequence of this measure, he
should defer his attempt. Subsequently, the
strength of parties was tried again on the Grim
inal Law question, and the Ministry were bea-
ten by a majority of 10.
Active preparations were in progress for the
election. Lord John Russell was to stand for
the city of London. Parliament continued to
sit, but was to be dissolved in few days, by
commission. The Ministry were confident of
adding much to their strength at the new cleo
ton.
The excitement on the subject Of Mcleod
had completely died away all parties were
blocking at home"
Nothing, of course had been heard of the
steamer President, although reports without
number continued to circulate. Every wreck
and disabled vessel seen at sea starts a new
rumor, which grows to positive certainty by
the time it reaches London.
Steamer Caledonia, hence 18th inst. arrived
at Liverpool on the 14th, making the passage
in twelve days and fourteen hours.
From France, there is little news of moment.
Marshal Soult retired from the Ministry, on
being opposed in measure relating to the
recruiting of soldiers, but came back again on
being told he might have his way.
The Turkish Sultan is declining in health.

CONGRESSIONAL.

By reference 10 the proceedings this week
our readers will perceive that the Bank in the
senate, and the distribution bill in the house are
the all-absorbing subjects under consideration.
Both northern and southern wings are uni
ted upon the establishment of national bank.
Mr.. Clay is strenuous in favor of bank with
the power of establishing branches, as indis-
pensible to its performance of the duties of
fiscal agent, and the regulator of exchanges
throughout the Union. He is right. But Mr.
Rlves has introduced an amendment, making
the establishment of branches dependent upon
state legislation, thus crpling the saluary op-
eratlons of an institution in the performance
of services, having an incalculable influence
upon the business affairs of the country, and
establishing precedent which may be hereaf.
ter fatal and deadly. But under the impress.
sion that Mr.. Clay's original plan cannot be
carried through congress, and influenced BY
doubts of its receiving the final signature of
the President, who is known to have constitu.
tIonal scruples to the bill in this shape, several
wing senators who would otherwise sustain
Mr. Clay, have taken ground with Mr.. Rives.
A mong others, Messrs. Choate, Bates and
Phelps. Others are expected to do the same.
Should Mr.. Clay and his friends inflexibIy ad.
here, the danger of creating any bank, it is
thought, would be imminent. All whigs in
Congress agree that some bank should be car
ried. So say the people. They say, let us
have moiety if we cannot have whole loaf;
any thing but the present fatal derangemen is
which blast every interest of the country. ANY
qualification which will not unreasonable wea.
ken the utility of the bank, will be preferable
to the condemned sub-treasury. The proba-
bility is that the obvious benefits would ensure
the admission of branch wherever the coun.
try required it.
The locos, as might be expected are in ecs.
tacles at the disagreement of the wings upon
this important measure. To men who have

Affairs in the Levant present nothing of par.
Ihcular interest.
The French have taken the town of Mas
cara in Algiers, and are fortifying it.
From China there are no later accounts
A reinforcement of 1000 troops were about to
be shipped from London to Canton.
CHrNA.-The English papers received
by the britannia, contain more ample ac-
counts than those which had previously
reached US of the operations of The British
forces before Canton, and remove the un-
certainty in which we were, as 10 the re-
al state of that city, and the position which
ths English troops held in relation to it, 1t
now appears, that after the capture Of the
Begue forts, different divisions of the inva-
ding fleet pushed forward to the city, re-
moved the instructions TO the navigation,
and captured or DESTROYED It's defences,-
that Canton being thus at their mercv.a
suspension of hostilities for the province was
oncluded--that the Chinese Commissioner
publicly proclaimed the trade opened, and
that British and other merchants might
visit the provincial City. Captain Elliot,
the British Commissioner, is extremely re-
luctant 10 push matters to further extremes,
and the solcitude he evinces TO proven,
any of the many serious consequences
which might result from the presence of
multitude of foreign troops in Canton, is
perhaps laudable. The whole of the force
which was at Chusan had arrived at Cam
ton and was engaged in the operations in
question. No doubt, therefore, that island
has deem evacuated.

plan satisfactory to both. The whig party i.
composed of men too honest to sacrifice the
interests of their country, and too sagacious to
be baffled by Benton, Wright and Calhoun
They must see that union alone can ensure
the safety of themselves and the country a.
gainst the designs of reckless party, who
fan every spark of dissention only to involve
all in one common confagration. We doubt
not that the labyrinths in which they are in
volved will soon be unravelled. Those who
have done most to produce schism are as anx-
ious as any to smooth the way to reconcilia-
ton. Even if he would, it seems to US there
is not a whig in Congress, who dare come home
from the extra session, and tell his constitu-
ents that no bank had been established, and no
distribution of the avais of the public lands
had been made, unless he can most unequivo-
cally clear his own skirts from the stains of the
sacrifice, which he has made, of a country that
is now bleeding at every pore. The wings
have clear majority in both houses Of Con-
gress, and it will be no excuse for members,
that they have been baffled by the dexterity of
their opponents, or that they have bored US
with glowing speeches at the public expense.
The country will not longer tolerate the shame
full waste of time without action, which for a
few years past has characterized their pro-
ceedings. Fiery orators and lazy floor men,
bers must be succeeded by sound, practical,
working statesmen such as Washington. JEFF
ferson, Franklin, Madison and Munroe, who,
in the better days of the republic, were seldom
known to occupy over half an hour in deliver
ing speech upon the most important subject.
After penning this article, it was truly re-
freshing to peruse the latest intelligence
from the Albany Daily in another column.
1t affords Aattering evidence Of the correctness
ofour prophesy, that the wing party in Congress
would finally quench internal dissention,and
arise and build up the walls of the political IL
on which the savage irrsptions of the expert
mentors have Frustrated. Thanks be to Hen
ry Clay, whose eloquence and irresistible en-
ergy, enables him TO brave every temporary
prejudice, and fearlessly appeal to the under
standings of his enlightened countrymen, to
sanction the whole breadth of his patriotic de-
signs for the settlement of the great question of
the currency. 1t remains to be seen whether
the wisdom and patriotism of the wing senate,
viewing the defeat of the bill in its present
shape as pregnant with destruction to the
country, and overthrow to the party, will en-
sure its success.
