Foreign. LATEST * ROM EUROPE. The ship Merchant arrived at New-York oil the 21st inst. in 33 days from Liverpool. She brings a Liverpool paper of the 15th ult., from v* hicti the following iutelligeuce has been expected. The proceedings .in the New Par liament begin to assume a very in teresting character. The debates on the Droits of the Crown displayed a great deal of profound investiga ? tioo on the part of Mr. Brougham, and of acote judgment on the part of his apponent, Mr. Canning. The former contended that these funds, In their application, gave an undue influence to tbe servants of tbe crown, and (bat they ought to be placed at the disposal of tbe parliament; w hile the latter held thai they formed, in effect, a part of tbe royal possession, fcnd that tbe crown could uot be de? prived of them without, being shorn of its rightful ludtre. The division of the bouse, which was the first lair trial of strength in the new par liament, exhibited on the side of ? Ministers 273 votes, on the op posite 6ide of the house,135, giving an actual -majority against Mrd Brougham's motion of 118. The Gamette* de France states, I that the equipages of the queen of England passed through Ghent on the Oth May, on tbe way to Brus sels. In the provisions of the civil list, the Queeu, it is said, has been wholly g,?UMt sight of. ; ^ ~ >v ' V ? There bad been another affray at > Oldsham, between a few of the mil itary and some of Jhe inhabitants, in which five of the latter were wound ed. W It is asserted on authority of the X<and6n Globe that the Queen wilj not letMrn to England. It is also stated, that the inter views between the Chancellor of tbe Exchequer and the Governors of the Bank, ha ve terminated in an under standing on the part of -the latter, that the five million* ate to be paid ? off in tbe course of this year* accord ing to promise. Paris papers to the 11th of May; state that there wen serious symp toms of disloyalty M Lyons, where the troops had refused to act against the people. Paris is very gloomy, and the Boyal Family are evidently alarmed. Tbe duke of- d'Angouleme has Ueen openly insulted in : his tour to the south; and an officer, bearing the , written password fromthe palace of Monsieur to/ the barracks of the guard de corps, was attacked on . Wednesday night by three assassins, . desperately wounded and deprived of the^ paper. His hiss, however, being instsntly made known by him tbo pass word was changed. ( - Another atrocious attempt against the Royal family has been detected end detested. Information of tin Sot was received, and. a man named ravier, late a captain in the 0th regiment <4 lancers, of Bonaparte'* guard, was arrested in the act of setting fire to tbe materials Cor an ex plosion under the windows, of the dotchess de Herri's apartments.? Several persons have been arrested, charged its accomplice* of Gtavier in the attempt. In the bouse of une< qf them were found fifteen artificial fireworks, similar tu that Which was laid- fur explosnttt under the windows of the dutcliess de Henri. 'The health of lord Oastlereagh, -does not itermit him at pqescnt to at. tend to bis parliamentary duties, Mr. Canning supplies bis place. Another information is filed against Mrs. , Carlisle, .for publishing doc trines of tbe " Age of lieaeon." Mr. Baring has become the ad ? vocate of a free system of trade, and lias brought the sulgect up in Parliament. v Ou Tuesday the 9th Mr. Alder man Wood brougbt forward his motion for a secret committee to in quire into the treasonable ix-actict alleged against inwards the ?py. The motion was rejected without 1 1 division, but (be vtoiittj Alderman I pledged Uiwself to follow up the in- I s estimation by prosecuting Inwards I for high treason at bis own expense ; I mid from the observations made by I Minivers upon this promise, there I seems no reason to fear that inquiry J ?will be stifled by a nole pronquu < 1 LONDON, MAY 18. Pursuant to arrangements the cere- 1 monies of proclaiming the corona- 1 tion took place this mornings which I were the same as those "observed 1 when his majesty was proclaimed! King. The solemnity of tlie coro- I nation will take place o'u the first of I August. ~~ I Parliamentary. ? The Liverpool I Advertiser, in remarking on the I Parliamentary proceedings, observes, I "The distress of the country, and I tlie langour and debility under whict I commerce and manufactures droop, 1 have directed the minds of commer I cial men deeply interested and pro- I found ly acquainted with the interests I of trade, to the system by which I oar commercial connexions with for- I eign countries are regulated. It has I been suggested, that the evils ^ of I which we complain might, by a I change of system, be alleviated, if I e mo veil ; petitions have been I presented to Parliament by the mer- ] Chants of the metropolis, and other I commercial tow ns in the country, I praying for tb&ifemoval of the nam- I erous restrictions, and prohibitions, I with which the trtNle between Great I Britain and foreign countries is im- -I peded and interrupted. Mr* Baring, I the merchant, lias become the advo- I cate of this free system of trade in I Parliament ; and on Monday Jast I that gentleman brought the subject I under the consideratiob of the House I of Commons in a luminous and con- I elusive strain of argument. ? In the I view taken by ibat boo, gentleman 1 on this subject, the House seemed I generally to concur. ' Even Mr. I itobinson, the:; President . of the I Board of trade^ expressed his coo* I viction tbat prohibitory restrictons on ] commerce were founded in error, and I calculated to defeat the object fu^ I which they were intended. It was, I however, felt and -acknowledged by I Mr. Kicardo and others; that the I existing system was so completely in- 1 grafted upon the commercial policy ! ?>f the country that U would be inex* l pedient to abandon at once the pro- 1 iubitory laws by which our foreign j Trade is regulated, and that we guist I make the advance towards the right I path w ith caution end circumspection. | i The petition wvas received, and the I impression made oil the House on I this occasions \*as certainly very I powerful."

It will be recollected by many of our readers, ^that during (be lute war with England, (he above named pilot boat was despatched to Cbfcrles ton for the purpose of brining to lihi* city Mrs. Allston, lady of the then Governor of Sooth Carolina, land daughter of Col.

From Itha time they embarked ami sailed [from Charleston, no tidings whatever had ever been heard of the vessel or lany one on board.

A gentleman recently from New Orleans, hat communicated to n ftieud of the family of the late Mr. Greeue, that two of the Pirates, lately sentenced to suffer death at New Orleans, confessed, that they composed Par* the crew of the j above Pilot Boat Patriot! that, after l>eing at sea tvVo or three days, aud near the shore, tliey rose upon the captain and passengers, and con fined them below? when they stood j close it) shore, aud after plundering I the passengers of a considerable J sum of money antl plate, belonging most!/ to Mrs. Allston, they launch ed the boat aud scuttled the vessel, which soon filled and went down, | with the unfortunate inmates confined I below ! The dreadful tragedy was j performed in the dead of night. ? I These wretches succeeded in reach ing the shore with the boat, and had I thus far escaped detection and puu ishment df this horrible crime. I RALEIGH, JUNE 30.

In the English newspaper?, the, SkegUti Mercury of the ftd April, there fa a Well written article op the Sheffield Trade, which contains the following para* graph:? 44 America ban long been one of the most important ami valuable mar* kets for our wares; hut inconse quence of their commerce being fre quently interrupted, together with the misunderstanding and ruptures that have taken place between tljtt country ami this, has gradually weakened our interest wit)) the Ame ricans, and prompted them to turn their attention to manufactures, hut with what success 1 am ikH prepared to say, though it is evident they are jttirchasing large quantities of steel, ?*ady prepared for the hammer. ? And it is not too much to presume, that more steel has beeu e\pc(e< America, within the la?t four ordr years, from this town ami neighby hood, than has been worked up , out own manufactories in the siu period, which is en gendering anj vift much to l#e regretted, and ' couuU for the decline in the Anw can Markets, But^ in all probat ity, the evil will not stop here; is very obvious, that as they III occasion for such large quautitie* steel, have artisans to wo^1 up ; and, if successful, they v , not long resort to hlngland for I. \ material, but w ill make it tbcraseltt and this is inorc probable, as the A niericau government are about to pa some very restrictive laws, whiA if put iu force, will almost amount! a complete prohibition.
