CHARLESTON, Feb. 17. IjATEST from ENGLAND.

By the brig John M'Cammon J T.armmir arrived at this F1- littimuui' ttnn u "V "" nort last evening, we have been favored with files of London paperstotlie 10th December, and with Belfast and other Irish papers to the 16th of the same The most important features of their contents! is the late senous and alarming riot, which took place in London on the 2d of Decern her. of w h eh vve have firiven a hastvr sketch below. It appears from a statement of the markets in dittcrcnt plaees in l England and Ireland, that all Fears of a scarcity had subsided. -Very la.oe importations 0f grain from the continent, had reached England ; but a report prevailed at the last date, that the Dutch government liad pr-ohibi-ted anyTurther exportatioris from the ports of Holland, . A London paper of Nov. 29, contains a decree of the king of the two Sicilies, granting a bountvof3 cai linos per measure for a'll -rain imported into his capital from abroad, between the 15th Novemocr 18! G. and the 15th Mav 181 7 provided it be of receivable and mercantile quality. The London Packet of the, 25th November, notifies that the ' prince regent has approved of Mr. Auldjo, as American consul at Cowes. The cargo of the John MCarrtmnn, consisting princioallv of provisions, ccc a 1 lias ari'ivea vvr 1 opportunelv, for never were our markets worse supplied or prices higher. ointUL d ittu i ijjUiuu Another and more serious riot or. as the London Courier terms it, " insurrection," took place in that city on the 2d of December, t originated in a meeting at Spa Fields, called by seditious and anonymous handbills, to hear the report of Mr. Hunt, who had been appointed at the previous meeting. November 15, to present a petition to the prince regent. The answer of the government was by no means satisfactory, and the mob after being harangued by jfr Hunt Sc others procedect into the Cltr, in two ers proceded into the city, in two ing Hags with various mottoes, expressive of their disatisfaetion and determination to seek aredress of their grievances by Torce of arms. In their progress they broke into several arm shops, & took therefrom many hundred muskets, pistols, cutlasses, Scc. with wliwMi thoxr rtnfrlU fKn r t 1 i t w ill it iiii l ' Li iiiriiitM ill streets, frequently discharging their pieces. The lord mayor & the peace officers exerted themselves to the utmost, to keep down the spirit of insurrection ; in which effort they were promptly aided by the military, who watched the movements of the mob. The city of London had not for many years exhibited such a scene of outrage and tumult. A party of the insurgents

entered the enclosure of the exchange when the gates were shut and a tew of them secured ; this

asperated the mob to such a P,tch that not being able to force th rrntfc thmr M:nJ a i . a9"?.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 15. War between England Spain ! We learn by the British brior Mohawk, capt. John B.

It was the current opinion at Havana, when the above vessel sailed, that a RUP. TUBE between the two governments would grow out of this occurence. Letters received in town yesterday from Havana, via Savannah, also mention that such a result was very probable,
