FOR BGJVfcf DOMES TIC. i I i i Ft m th't fsHchJletd (hug.) M 7 envy, of Man 21. KING OF BWKDEN. If we may draw an inference from the foreign journals) confirmed by piivatc letters from various parts of the continent) Europe la about to be involved in a new war ; that is, in the cvont of the kin;; of Sweden rKri-drvanr Martfill Bcrnodotte refusing to a -ce le to the modest requisition of the Emperor ol Russia that lie vill lorthax i' !i descend from thai throne to which the Swede hae called hinu and on whichf by the most solemn oaths ami treaties, every power in Europe have recognised him. It is said that the

fcilineror Alexander, bv wav of gildinp ' is bitter pill) has offered him t Kuasiaii government on the confines bl Asia, with a revenue of six millions oi livrcs, about 2 .10,000. sterling. 'Tuis offer Chat Irs John has rejected ; 1 tin it remains to lie seen whether 1 A U k ander w ill carry his ambition so f r as to endewor by force of arms to reduce Sweden into a liussian prov nice, under the government ofhis mad brothei -in-law (the Jerusalem tilfrrim ) or under bis son the nephew ol the Empress of Russia. In the present situation of Europe, the ex. pulsion ol Charles John from the Rwedish throne may not prove (juite so easy a task as the Emperor Alex- : nder appears to consider it. The whole continent, and Germany in par tlctllat) is in that state of combus'ion, ' thai were a war to ensue, there is no predicting its consequences, or where "it Would end. The pow ers of F.urope are v(, si mated as not to be able (if willing) materially to further the view s of Alexander. Snch is the respert paid here to legitimacy , even in the person of a Ferdinand, that we, no doubt, should do all we could to exp 1 a scion of Napoleon from an European throne but that all must be little, on account of our finances. II France Interferes! it will be in favor of Bemadotte, on whose part, it is said, she has ab-eadv dispatched a Iteneral Officer to St. Petersburg : Austria must be insane, if she allow s he Empire to be violated bv the march e! troops to dethrone the Swclish monarch. SOUTH-AMERICA. IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AYRES. Xfw-York, July I. The very fast sailing Schooner Pe- ! n, captain Grlcef has brought adtccs and papers to the $d of Ma) C apt.

Tt becotnta our painful duty to no ticc one of the most distressing conflagrations with which our city has been visited for some time past. The flames were discovered about 1 o'clock this morning, bursting forth from the front of a house occupied as a dwelling, by Mr. Brodie, a baker. There was no possibility of arresting the progress of the destructive element, until it had consumed six houses on the North side of Market street and eight on the West side of Market street, northwardly ; besides a number of out-houses w hich w ere either consumed or pulled down. 7'he loss is estimated at seventy thousand dollars. 5There can be no doubt of this being the work of some incendiary, for it is the third time that similar attempts have been made at nearly the same spot. Commercial distress in Euro fit. It appears that there had been no a melioration of the commercial distress in Kngland. Gor s Liverpool Advertiser, speaking of the situation of the times, ob serves 44 It is acknowledged by every one, that commerce was never in such a situation as at present. Property of even' kind is depreciating daily. The recent f ailures wall produce the most disastrous effect ; and many, who are not in the lightest degree injured bv them directly, must verj soon be seriously affected by the distinction of all confidence." The Uveriool Mercury at.v 44 Now the fact is, that there never was a period, in our recollection, when pecuniary embarrassments, distress, and dismay, were conspicuous as at the presort. Scarcely a day passes over ov heads wothout some commercial failures : and every one We meet in the street has something to tell us about returned bills or the absolute impossibility of obtaining payments.'' Alexandria June 30. 7'hc steam boat left Buffalo, June 12, on a trip to Machkia and L ike Superior. She had nearly 800 passengers, among whom were Maj.Gen Brown and sake. Col. J. L.

British Interna! Improvement. From a statement in the House ol Commons, it appears that the whole cost of constructing roads in Kngland and Wales, has amounted to F ,000,000 Sterling : that they extend over twen-ty-five thousand miles r that they ai t maintained at the annual. expense o from twelve to thirtee hundred thousand : and that the advantage resulting t all commercial. intercourse bom an improvement of the roads, cannot, when joined to the aaving horses and in wear and tear, be estimated at a sum less than fie millions sterling a year.
