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.

whatever other capacity, ace hastily

this enthusiasm he really felt, the

At first, it is ani d to have bee A the]
detei mmfetion of the Russian auii
Austrian cburts to occupy YVallachia
Moldavia, as they have done Na

sideration, they have come to the
resolution of observing!! strict neu
P trality.; Th'fty "have, in consequence,
dispatched instructions to all the lo
v. cal authorities of both empires, ou
v the frontiers, .to prevent, as much as
? possible, all cumiuunicaiioD with the
revolted districts, an l not to allow
any individual of either kingdom to
pass (he frontier without the assign

still more strict, the police being com

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

- It is said that since the termination
of the Austrian campaign in Naples
the affairs of Italy have become a
lively subject of discussion among
the - allied powers. 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

[)f the acknowledgment of the inde

.NEW- YORK, JUNE 6* ?:
t-reat and Important Wews.
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

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 is understood, we learn, (hat (lie

as would enable the Commissioners

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. We

" A silver mine (mi]
very valuable) has latt

north west from the new county seat.
It lies on the bank of the^Huron i i

mouth, on the premises of Jfebeg
F. irony and Martin Loudon Blago.
It was discovered by Mr. Daniel
Page, a respectable citizen of thi*
place. They have since formed a
large company, and selected a com
imRee consisting of three gentlemen
of candor and respectability, who,
after mature deliberation deemed it
a matter of the utmost importance,
and therefore have maile eter y ex
ertion in their power to hasten a
speedy excavation, in hopes to realize
the benefits arising therefrom. They
have now sunk about thirty feet be
low the surface, and have twenty
feet further to dig before they find
the hidden treasure ; they have al
ready found several large veins,
which (upon trial) ap|>enr to bo rich
silver ore ? and, notwithstanding the
general cry . against silver mines hy
the ignorant, the proprietors of this

its value, and feel in hopes that it
