Foreign. NEW-YOKK, JUNE 11. LATEST FliOM EUROPE. The Packet ship Albion, captain Williams, arrived this morning frOtu Liverpool. Ky this arrival the edi-< tors of the Commercial Advertiser have received from their correspon dents London papers, and Shipping Lists to the 29th of April, and Liv erpool papers to the 1st of May in clusive. This arrival furnishes us with many articles in relatiou to the affairs of Moldavia, Wallachia, Constan tinople, &c. They are of consider torv. Home articles slate that Prince Ypsilunti has set out for the Danube, with only 3000 men, and' two pieces of cannon. On the other hand, some accounts state lift force at (5000, and others at 10,000, and well pro vided. It is aUo said that the Greek islands and the Morea, have revolt ed and massacred many of the Turks. . jt 4 apiteartT certain by intelligence ftuth Leipsic, St. Petersburg, and Braudenhiirgh, that the Greeks Who are scattered over the continent, \s he thet-ias students, merchants, or in whatever other capacity, ace hastily turnings .their steps homeward.

There will 1>e Mood en ough to satisfy the most calculating speculator in revolutions. The troops which the Porte has successively sent from Constantino ple to the Isle of Caudia> have-been vanquished. The insurgents,- after making a great carnage, took posses sion of all the forts in the islaud, on which they have hoisted the Inde pendent Hag. A Greek squadron, consisting of vessels, well armed, is united at the Isle of Idra. Fifty- three Greek families, escap ed from Constantinople, have arriv- 1 ed at Odessa j who states that pre vious to their departure* the Drogo man of the Porle, having requested leave to resign, had been decapitat ed, aud had been succeeded by one of Morousi.

Russia and trance wish to diminish the iuiluence of Austria in Italy. A paragraph from Vienna, April 14, observes, that the Kmperors of Austria ami Russia will soon repair to that capital, and that they will have interviews with (he Kings of Prussia* the Low Countries, Bava ria, and Wuftembiwg. The Con gress, it was believed, would be continued till summer ; the consolida tion repose of .Eu rope iti general, is the csuse of this prolongation ; and another , paper " it is |K>*feible that the affairs of Spain will not he foreign to the assembly." In the mean time, the Russian troops continue th^ir inarch for Italy, where the first column was expected* out he 2 1st qf April. Gen. I* runout will retain the superior command of the Austrian troops, which will remain for the term of fortify eals in t lie kingdom of Naples. As soon as all the provinces shall be entirely reduced to submission, a thud of the Austrian army will quit Naples to return into Upper Italy/' Austria is increasing her military establishment. Ily the ifitti of April, 14 additional regiments were to he put into active service on the war htoting. '1 his w ill make a new mlli tary force of (H),OQQ men, the precise destination of which is not yet known. A column of Russian troops, 85,000 strong, was to enter Hungary in the course of a few days. A tetter from Wadrid of the *0th Aprils says : " It is with much satis faction that I have to inform you of tfomethrtig more than a mem prospect [)f the acknowledgment of the inde pendence of South America, by the Spanish government, which wiH; irf ulinitted, put a Slup to any further '(fusion of blood on the other side >t the Atlantic.

Bv the arrival of the fast sailing brig Hinpnmeneg, C.a|itain Bourne, in 12 dttvs from Curacoa, the editor of tlie National Advocate has receiv ed irom his attentive coviespoiideut, t-eguTiir fileis of the Crti-ticoa Courant May* containing thel highly importaut artd gratifying in telligence of the evacutioh of Cam cas by the RoyalUte; in fconsequence of the successful progress of the | Patriots since the recomhiencemetii I ot hostilities. ? After the termination I of the armistice, Bolivar, with that I decision which marks his character, I directed a part of his army to ad I vauce upon Caracas, information I having been received of his inove I menfrby the Royalists, they dispatch I ed a body of troops to drive theih I back ; but, after a short contest/ 4he Patriots proved victorious. A se I Com action took place, frhich also I terminated in favor of the Indepeu I dents, who lost a Lieut. Colonel, Arbutbnot, killed ^vhile leading on I his men to attack the enemy. The I intelligence" of these disasters having I reached the capital, it was determin I ed by the junta to abandon the place I to the Patriots* who immediately I tuuk,puss*;ssiou, and celebrated their I triumph by the firing of cannon and J ringing ot bells. ? While these re I joicings w ore going on in Caracas, I the Royalists at .La Gncyra, Vho J had heard 1 jjf what had taken place I iu the capital, wisely determined to I follow its example; having previous I ly, however, r shipped off all their I gunpowder iu the stores, for Puerto I Gabello, and a considerable cjuunti ty of moveables. The Patriots thus J enjoyed a second triumph, which | celebrated in the usual manner. I Seemingly altogether occupied with I effecting their escape, the Royalists I had not been able to rally their forces j so as to renew their attacks upon the J Patriots; but as information had been I received, that they were beginning I again to bestir themselves* a general I engagement was expected to take I place immediately between the main I body of the contending armies, f Although our accounts from Cura I con are unt official, the minuteness I wiih wliich the details are given, I leaving no room to doubt their gene I ral accuracy. As to the expectation I of a general engagement, we sttong* I ly suspect that if the Royalist** had I considered themselves sufficient I v I strong to take the field with their | whole combined forces, they would I have attempted this liefore evacuat ing their capital, and the principal I sea port upon which that capital de I prods for its necessary supplies. I Now that thry have abandoned thel whole, and retain only the insignifi cant Puerto Cabello, it is not likely they will bo willing to sacrifice tlieir !i\es in a struggle, which every man, possessing his senses, ^ust regard as entirely bcpeles*. Rut should they be so. foolish as to prolong the contest, it will only be giving the Patriots an opportunity of rooting1 up the last remains of a despotism! w hich has too long existed, and in: the total annihilation of which every friend ef humanity must rejoice. Since wi lting the above, we learn, that accounts of the capture of Puer to Cabello had been received at Cu racoa, about the time the Mippo Irenes left that port. Afier this, we may natamlly look for the breaking up of the Royal army, if not of it* surrender to the Patriots, who, if thin part 6f the intelligence is correct, have now the power of depriving their enemies of every supply ex cc:>i \\ liut they draw fti-cii the hiicri i ? or. Previous to the disasters of the WoyaH*ts"befoni Caracas, it appears that theii rcause in. other putts of Colombia was' rapidly declining. Coro, a place irkjhe near neigbur pood of Mar?caybo, and which dur ing the whole of the revolutionary war, was heVer in jKMssessibn of the Patriots, though they frequently assaifed it, has been given up with out firing a shot: The Ibclepfcrtdent flag was also flying in La Yalle.

It will be necessary, before proceeding to ex amine them, to prescribe forms aiid announce the testimony which will be necessaty to establish these claims ? which, fa supposed, must lie such as would be received in a court of law, or at least the best that the nature of the case wil 1 admit of.

It was discovered by Mr. Daniel Page, a respectable citizen of thi* place.
