Latest from Europe. — The London packet ship York, which, arrived in Ncw*-York on the 11th inst. has brought London papers of the 6th June. Paris papers of the 8th have also been received by an arrival at Portsmoutli. In the York, came Richard Rush, Esq. late Minister at the CourtofSt. James, and family. Letters from Liverpool of the 4th state, that cotton was steady in price-*-Uplands from 16 3-4 to 19d. per lb. The King. on the 8th June# His arrival was announced •by 100 pciccs-.of cannon. On the Prefect of the Department presenting him thrv keys of Paris, accompanied by an elaborate and fulsome address, the King replied ; . “ I feci great satisfaction in re-entering these walls. It is always with a lively emotion that I recollect the reception that was given to me eleven years ago, when I preceded the king iny brother, i return here, having received the holy unction, wliich has given me new strength. I will consecrate it, and whatever I Iiave of life, and all my meansp to the prosper ity of France. This is my firm resolution, gen tlemen, I give you assurance of it.” On this we are told that the cries of Five Ic Roi I Vivant Ics BaUrhons! resounded on all sides. In the London Times there is a ludic rous account of the coronation: in which among other things, it is said, that “ the Duke of Nor thumberland, in his court suit worth 75,000Z. lost his way in the crowd, were he was hustled about, and almost soffocatod, Hike the most in significant personage in i t ; and for more than an hour was unable to make his way to the rest of the Diplomatic Body.” « A tremendous fire broke out at Bordeaux on the 2d May, by which property to the value of 4 millions of francs was (5oniisme*d, including 2500 pipes of brandy. About 2 millions was insured at'the different oflices. Three neW Islands arc stated to have been discovered by Captain Kotzebue, in Iiis Yoyage, during the last year, in the South Seas. Spain. —It ivas believed by the ministers of Ferdinand, that the troops collcctingat Guaya quil are principally composed of Englishmen and citizens of the United State.s, who, it was appre hended, meditated an attack on Cuba. A con- .voy, which had been long expected with mon ey, had arrived at Cadiz from Havana; hut much disappointment was fellt on account of there being only 40,000 piastres on hoard. The work of extermination was gbinig on hri&kly. In the prisons of Barcelona and Villafranca, there were actually, on the 26th of May, ^44 persons for trial by the Executive Military Commission, all of %vhom, there ifas no doubt* would he put to death. Among other financial difficulties of the Government,' ^formation had been received' at Madrid tliat the negociation fpf a new loan inllc^Iand bad been definitively broken off. It thus appears, notwithstanding the countenance of the Holy Alliance, that the credit of I^erdi- iiandis so low at London, Paris, and Amster dam, that the monied men will ndt loan him a single dollar, even although he has offered to |iledge his royal word for the payment. It is mentioned, however, as proof of the activity of his marine department, that it\ ordered two frig ates to put to sea to destroy the Columbian pri vateers which infesfed the Coiist of Spain, and captured her merchant vessels' even in sight of the batteries. Great Britain .—^Thc Unitarian Marriage Bill, was thrown out of the House o/Lords, on the 2d June, by a majority of 4. „ Grceh#.—-Accounts from Coffo, of the 9th m May, reCeiveJi^f Trfo announce that the , -V 4 . “**“ * * * ^ ® completely defeat ed a.division of the Egyptian squadron, and cap tured eight or teft Vessels laden with provisions and ammunition destined for Ibrahim Pacha at , Modon, whose trohps were in a state of the greatest destHutiofi. They had been reduced fo 3000 men, and so exasperated was he at the Eurpj^n: pfficfrf, to whofo^ he attributed his ‘var^tf& defoats, that he beheaded all of them who had not been taken by the Greeks, an ex ample which, it Wlhf. expected, would serve as Jt warnii^ in future,'to all foreigners who es poused a cause so unholy. The* Greeks had pmstrea from Napoli #H|i ’wWqi tkiy were purchasmg ammunition ha^te for Navarino. The corteous treatment of the patriots by the English authorities, in the islands, is spoken of in terms-of high com mendation. ' LONDON, Junes. In the house pf commons iii answer to a ques tion from Mr.' Bernal,. Mr. Secretary Canning said, that in 1817, a commission of arbitration had been appointed between this country and the United Statesj relative to the slaves which weTro taken in North America; and the result of that arbitration was, that 200,0001. was agreed upon us the compensation to he award ed, in accordance with which the' present vote was propose^. The report was then called up, and ordered to he taken into farther considera tion on Monday next. Upp^r Peru. —Letters received in this city from Buenos Ayres, dafed May 10th say that General Olaneta, who commanded the remnant of the royal army in Upper Ppru, had been kill ed in battle. Bueiios Ayres papers of the 11th May, are silent on the subject. Chili. — A letter from Valparaiso of March 27tfi states that the government was in a very unsettled state, and that a number of members of the Cohgi-ess were in prison for a conspiracy. They were to ho tried by the legislative body. Tlio harvest in Chili was Very abundant, and it was supposed there was sufficient wheat for two years cosumption, both in Chili and Peru, South America .—^The Boston Palladium says, that the reports of the surrender of the royal General Olaneta, in Upper Peru, were incorrect. But he had been compelled to retire farther into the interior; and on the 10th of March was at Potosi, with about 2000 men. The country which ho left immediately declared against him, and he contemplated a farther retreat to the frontiers of Salta, province df Buenos Ayres.—^ Letters from Panama and Lima to the end of March, state that the Liberator had opened KiJj siderablc number of very heavy ordnance.- He bad also succeeded in changing the course of the river Rimac, which supplied the garrison with water. The speedy surrender of Rodil was in consequence expected. Bolivar’s recep tion, by Qom. Hull, on board the frigate United States, on Washington’s birth day, is said to have been in a style that reflected the highest credit on both parties; and a degree of good feeling was evinced on the occasion highly gratifying to all. Accounts are received from Rio Janeiro to the 20lh May. The iMpKilution at Montevi deo was likely to involW Buenos Ayres in a war with the Brazilian government. The pa triots were investing Montevideo, and a Brazil ian general, Fortuoso Riberara, had deserted and joined them, with all the cavalry. Gener al Lavallija, who had raised 2000 troops in Banda Oriental, had also declared for the patriot cause. The last accounts mention General Lc- cor still held possession of the town, but how long he would be able to do so was uncertain. Conversion of the Jexvs ,—^The monarch of the triple crown has lately issued an Edict of which the following is an extract ;—” In order the better to spread the light of the gospel amongst the Israelites, the measures taken during the time of Pope Clement VIH. to compel Jews to attend Catholic sermons, and which only was interrupted by the recent political events to to ivhich Italy has been a prey, are re-estab lished from the date of 1st March last.” The Edict afterwards orders ” three hundred Jews to attend sermon every Saturday evening; and that according to their turn, there shall be amongst 100 individuals aged from 12 to 13 years, and SO girls and women of the same age. Each time that a Jmv misses sermon when it is his turn to attend, he shall pay a fine of five paoli; no excuse w’ill be permitted; ffthe old est Jews do not denounce the defaulters, they shall be fined thirty scudi. The Christians who insult the Jews when they afe at church shaft he birched, or incur other pains, according aa the circumstances are more or less grave.”-—- A*, y. American. The intemperate language in ivhich the Mes sage of Governor 'Troup is couched, has exci ted an almost universal burst of indignation throughout the United States. The fact, that a Commitee in one branch of the Legislature, have in their report, re-echoed the sentiments contained in if, is ho evidence that the people of Georgia have aMxed the seal of approbation to this extraordinary document. It is pleasing to observp that’there is at least one paper in that State, which views the subject in its proper light. The Augusta Chrdiucle, in remarking on the Message, observes;— The session of the legislature, it will be seen, , commenced on Monday' l a s t - ^ ^ Message of the Governor will be found in this day’s paper. It will be perceived that his Excellency is in favor ol a di^osition of the latel/ acquired ter ritory by Lottery, under probably some impro ved m^ifi^tions. Some, and probably ve]^ many, of Our readers may regret the manner m which the Governor’s ide|is ard expressed in some of the latter paragiaj^ of hw Message. We cannot conceive” of any benefit that is tb result from exciting or eneduraging ift any por tion of the community a feeling of hostility to wards the general government. Connected as the people of the-United States are in. one common bond of Uniem, we have no' doubt that the rights of all will be duly respected, and the not but think that to be a mistaken species of patriotism, which labours to-weaken or destroy the confidence of the people in the government of their choice. The informfition contained in the article v/hich fol lows, will be read with feelings of disgust and indig-- nation. However desirable the civilisation of the In dians may be, we hope that this object is not to be ef fected by their intermarriage with the whites. Con nections of this kind are revolting to the sentiments of the community, and i f no other means can be de vised to put a stop to the evil, Jet the Cornwall school be abandoned^ Middletown, Ct. June 29. Another Marriage of an Indian with a White Ctirl contemplated .-— O u r readers will recollect, that about a year ago, a marriage took place between an Indian Chief, who had attended the Foreign Missionary School at Cornwall, and a white girl. Most of the papers spoke of it in terms of decided disapprobation. The A- gents of the School, at the head of whom is the Rev. Dr. Beecher, of Litchfield, have publish ed a report, under the date of the 17th inst. in which they state, that a negociation for a mar riage has been carried on for some time past be tween Elias Boudinot, a young Cherokee, and Harriet Gold, of the village of Cornwall, and that there is now a settled engagement between the parties. The object of the publication is to declare their ” unqualified disapprobation of such connexions?’ And they regard the con duct of those who aided or assisted in this ne gociation as highly \ criminal. ” They say that additional restrictions have been adopted, to protect the interest of the school, and of the community as connected with it. Heavy Fleece. —Mr, Asa Upson, of Bristol, sheared from a 3-4 blood Merino sheep, 111b. lOoz. wool. —-English paper. Letter»from Gibraltar mention that the King of Spain has refused to recognize Mr. Mont gomery, the recently appointed American con sul at Alicante, in consequence of his having joined the national militia and taken arms du ring the struggle of the constitutionalists in that country. A qUaker’s admonition to a Man who was pouring forth a volley of ill language on him, was, “ Be careful friend—itlioii mayest run thy face against my fist.” KZZVSSXtBOOK H E K A X D .

Wo learn with sincere regret, from a person who came up yesterday from Hudson, thata mostdestruc- tivo fire took place in that city on TueBday evening. It originated in the bam of Mr. Jonathan Stott, at the lower end of Warren-street, and spread with great ra pidity, taking in its course the buildings on both sides of the street, and setting at defiance the efforts o f the firemen and citizens to arrest its progress. About 30 buildings were consumed; among which, was the ex tensive satinet manufactnry of Mr. Stott. The fire commenced in the early part of the evening, and its progress was not arrested till one or two o’clock in the morning. Wo regret that it is not in our poWer to fur nish a list of the sufferers, with the extent o f the da mage done. THE COURT OF ERRORS, Which has been sitting in the city of New-York a- bout four %veeks, adjourned its extra session a few days since, to meet again on the 29th of December next, at Uie capitol in the city of Albany, for deciding the causes argued at this term. Five causes, on appeal from the Court o f Chancery which had been argued at.the winter session, were de cided: in two of which, judgment was affirmed, anfl in the other tl^ee reversed. Nine causes on appeal from the samu court, and ten causes on writs of Error ;fo the Supremo Court, wore argued. The members of the court vidted, during its session, the principal Institutions iff th'e' city, the quarantine ground and the h ^ i t ^ s connected with it, on Staten Island, and the navy-;^rd on Long Islahd; Tlie in- forma-tion which they have been enabled to obtain by personal inspection, in relatiorf to various subjects of vital importance to the city of Nei^-York, and the state atlarge, will aid them much in their future deli berations on the many questions ofpoiitical economy, to which the varied'interests-of the great xnetropolis give rise. The ceremony of the coronafiOn .of the King of France, was performed at the aUtiont city of Rheims, on the 29th of May, with ail “ the pomp and circum stance” of royalty. We have neither room nor\ incli nation to republish the particulars of the grand farce, an^^sum e it will be no disappointment to ourrea- dera that we refrain from doing so. We^ intended, however, to have penned a fewrefieefions; such as an occasion, of this kind, is cslculated'to product in the mind o f an'American, who feels a strong attachment to the republican institutions o f his cmmtry, and for whom, thd‘*tTappiUfs of royalty,’\have no charms.— Avaluedcorrespondent hasiwntus a commanication on this subject,‘siqicipating oUr views. Our columns having been occupied befobe its receipt, we are under the necessity of postpofiing its publication until next week, sensible that none of its interest wifl be lost by the delay.'

His presence a t the eelehratiqnirill impart great interest to the proceedings, and the qireumstance of his leaving this country in a Frigate , which, has been named to perpetuate the recolleciion o f that event, will not be the least of the maffy “^ honors, hlifshing thick upon Aim.” The surviving officers and soldiers of the battle of Bunker Hill, who were presentat the late celebration, exceeded in n:imber 200.
