LATE PROM ENGLAND. By the ship Boston, captain Mackay, which arrived at Boston on Saturday, London and Liverpool papers have been srecei to June 20th inclusive.

The election for the university of Cambridge had just closed by the choice of Mr. Gavendish, the whig candidate, by a majority of 147

votes over Mr.

Bankes, the anti-catholic candidate. The whole number of rotes was 107.'.

The London Courier announces by authority that, the government had received

official noticc of the emperor of

Russia having ordered the extended blockade, established by the Russian tfcdiniral, to be raised.

The same paper ridicules the idea of there being any prospect of war between Great Britain and Russia.

The Glasgow Free Press of the 20th Mentions the arrest of the fugitives Field and Foster, sergeants of the 4th fegirnent foot, after they were under Weigh in a vessel from Greenock bound toN ow York. They paid £7 casu each fbt a small boat to carry them to the Vessel.

The empcrorhas appointed a council 0f regency for his daughter the queen of Portugal during her minority, consisting of the marquis of Pamelia, the marquis Valenca, and M. Guerrero, ancient minister of justice under the Co rt es. She is to proceed immediately to Tereeira with her council, and there temain until circumstances are more favorable for her entering the kingdom.

ment we published yesterday by authority, that government had received official notice of the emperor of Rus* sia having ordered the extended blockade recently established by the Russian admiral to !e raided, it is not necessary to make a single observation Upon the article in the Gazette de France of Wednesday, in ivhich itperiists in its belief that the blockade has •*Oot been raised.

Neither is it necessary for us to do more than notice a private letter from Perlin, in another French paper, relative to the policy of the Prussian government. The emperor and empress Of n«ia are at Berlin, on a visit to the kinsr, the empress' father. The king hud intended to have gone to Sybillenot. hut was prevented by an intermittent fever. Surely nothing is more natural than that the emperor and empress of Russia, after their coronation at Warsaw, sbnuld extend their journey fo Berlin—and equally natural is it, that the king of Prussia should put off a journey when his health wotjId not permit hirn to undertake i».

Fur some time pas' the French papers have been insisting upon the extension of the war to other grtat powers. and they sfin to be more particularly anxious to involve us in it. "We are jealous of the increasing power of Huv»ia.M This is too absurd to desert-e notice. But we must add, for the information of foreign journalists, that it* they «is!: to precipitate us into war. they are likely to be disappointed. Greut Britain will remain at peace.

Gen.

A proclamation has been issued by the lord high commissioner of the 1oniau islands, stating that the Greek blockade cannot, according to the treaty of the 6th July, 1S27, be extended beyond the coasts of the Morea and the Cycladcs. The blockade of the coast of Albania, of course, will not be recognised.

important diplomat

ic documents were received in London on the morning: of the l^th by the Flander* mail, relative to the protocol of .March, and the propositions to ue made by the French ai.d British am-ba.-^adors on their arrival at Constantinople respecting Greece. The new jitate proposed, it appears, is to comprise, on tuc continent, all the territory south of a line to be drawn from the gulf of olo to the gulf of Ambracia or Arta, (the Sinus Ambracicus of the ancients.) Negropont and the Cyclades are also to form a part of the new territory, which will thus be powerful and extensive. An annual tribute is to be paid to the porte, which is to have a nominal supremacy. The government is to be monarchical and hereditary in a family raised to the supreme power. The first christian prince is to be chosen by the three powers, but he is not to be a member of the reigning families of Russia, France, or Great Britain. .\lu/r.\, \pril 2^.—By recent arrivals from Alexandria, we learn that the viceroy was preparing an armv of 3),(H t) men, to march by Asia to (.'on •itantinoplc.

Two letters were offered by the

accused—One

red in Philadelphia, it appeara thai

then at Philadelphia* tent to hit* a request that he would take thi* letter out of the post office.—-Mr Southard did so, and instantly, al th»agh Watkins had put no sig"^ ture to the letter, (the hand writing was well known to Mr Southard) wrote a reply to it. The letter to Mr. Southard indicates a mind, the clear perceptions of which were injured by the uncontrolable agon v. under which Dr. Watkins was suffering Had he been in full possession of himself he would never have .pplied as he did in that letter to Mr Southard, to confirm the explanations he had made to Mr. Harris find thus to implicate himself gratuitously and falsely, in the double crime of a connivance in the fraud, aod also in the deeper crime of perjury. The letter indicates an intollect shaken by the first shock occasioned bv his arrest, and his who!* thoughts seemed to be engrossed bv his wife and children, whose distress fancy painted to him with the pencil of truth. Mr Southard replied, that it gave him regret, that he could not confirm the explana tions which Dr. Watkins had made He expressed his regret, that he *h.»tild have placed himself in such a glaring situation, and ignorant a« he was ot the precise character of the allegations against him Mr Southard said it was out of his power to say more than that, when cal 'ed upon to give testimony, he should give it with a strict regard to truth, a* far as his recollection viou'd permit him

The whole of Mr Southard^ conduct has been highly honorable His enmtion in reading the letter which he had delivered up, bv order of the court, was eitreme. He felt that the 'ate of the accused was in his hands, and that it was a cruel but unavoidable dutv, which compelled him to sacrifice the man he had once esteemed. Before he could finish the reading of the let ter, a gush of tears choked his ut terance Judge Cranch kindly took the letter from him. and finished it, and Mr Southard sinking into his chair gave way for a few moments to feelings honorable to him, and which gained him honor from all.

S. Since the above was in tvpe. the Baltimore Republican of Wednesday is received, bringing the letter written by Dr. Watkins to Harris the Navy Agent at Boston, disclaiming the imputed guilt ami subsequent letter to Mr. South ard.in which he intreats that gcntlr man to sustain the statements nude in hi**letter to -rnn. Miaerah man! ^justifiable as wa« sue! art application for such a pur[K8»' the frantic despair ui'de whivh was mule offers much alleviation Hiid in 'his persuation we look with •i loathing, upon the Baltimore Republican's correspondent, who sent tha'"paper the above letters for publication. That correspondent evi'ices the fiercest triu'nph and exulti ii ti, dwelling with evident delight on the undeniable evidence of W.»t-kin.-t' guilt, much eater from the means used to conceal it,) and demanding that he be consigned to iritamv, and that the public sympathy be directed towards A Kendall.

The benefits that would result from the construction of a railwav, on the route which we have followed, and its capacity to multiply the elements of individual and national prosperity, can be best appreciated by those who have carefully observed the effects of such improve ments but that portion of our oute which remains to be considered, offers to our view results of the highest and most invaluable character.

From French creek the Western branch of the Alleghany, we proceed into the rich northern counties of Ohio, intersecting various streams, and the great canal of that state, in a direction parallel to the shore oflake Erie, till we arriye at the rivers which empty into the western extremity of that lake

Having crossed the Sandusky, Maumee, and St. Joseph rivers, tributaries of lake Erie, tbe route enters Indiana passes the head wa ters of the Wabash and the St. Jo seph of lake Michigan crosses the canal which is to unite the Wabash river with the lakes enters the state of Illinois, and passing along tbe course of the Kankakee, con tinues to the head of steam-boat navigation on the Illinois river from thence provision has been made for opening a communication with Lake iVlichig This portion of the rail way would open to immediate oc cupation, immense tracts of the public lands, of the most exuberant fertility and offers to the enterprising industry of our hardy settlers, such facilities, in the pursuit of wealth and prosperity, as even the giant growth of our young and flourishing country has never af forded

The Illinois affords good depth of water for steam boats, and its current is so slight, as to be iu many places hardly perceptible- It af fords, perhaps, the best navigation iu America, for 250 miles, through a country of unbounded fertility, to the Mississippi river, near the mouth of the Missouri, and the flourishing and important town of St Louis

Having accomplished this grand object, our railway continues ifom near the bend of the Illinois, and at a distance of little more than sixty miles, reaches tbe banks of the Mississippi.

The whole distance from the Hudson river to the Mississippi, at the junction of the Rock river, is less than one thousand miles The route extends along one of the best parallels of temperate latitude aud in great part through the most fer tile and valuable portions of our country. A railway constructed upon this route, would connect, in the most advantageous manner, the agricultural, navigating, and commercial interests of the regions bor deririg on the numerous rivers, ca-

from thence proceeds through a fa vorable and productive country to the vallev of the Delaware river, near the north-west corner of New Jersey Here it forms a junction with the route of the Delaware, Lehigh, and Lackawaxen canals whieh are in progress in Pennsylvania, and with tbe Delaware and Hudson canal in New York. From thence the route ascends the valley of the Delaware to a point that affords the nearest and most favorable crossing to the valley of the Susquehanna, at or near the great bend of that river

Pursuing a westerly course thro' the fertile valleys of the Susqtiehannah and Tiopa rivers the route crosses the head waters of thp Gen essee having in its course intersected the terminating points of the Tth ica and Oswego Railway the Chenango and the Chemung canals in New York the great Susquehannah canal in Pennsylvania, and several other points that afford important facilities for internal communication

From the Genesee river, our route enters the valley of the A lie ghany, and proceeds along that river which affords a navigable communication with Pittsburgh, the Pennsvlvania. canals and the Ohio river From the Alleghanv. the route intersects the outlet of the Chatauque lake, opening thereby a communication with lake Erie, and proceeds to the head waters of French creek, in Pennsylvania, from whence it again communicates with the Alleghany and the Penn sylvania canals, on the one hand, and with the harbor of Erie on tbe other v.:
