LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
From Mr. Coates the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser have received London papers to the 18th July inclusive.-- Mr. C. was passenger on board the ship Jefferson, Phillips, from London, for Philadelphia, and left her on Saturday at sea, and got on board the Governor Strong, from Lisbon for this port. Mr. Coates landed at Dungeness on the 23d July, and saw London papers of the 22d July, which contained nothing new except the increased illness of the king.
The Jefferson was boarded on the edge of the Grand Banks by the Minerva frigate; on St. George's Bank, S. E. of Nantucket, by the Guerrier frigate, and near the same place by the Indian sloop of war. These cruizers were looking out for vessels from France.
The London Gazette of the 16th contains the letter of Captain Bingham to Admiral Sawyer on the affair of the President and Little Belt, which attributes the first shot to the President. This letter, although a copy of that printed in the Mercantile advertiser from Halifax some time ago, we have deemed it at this time proper to publish from our London papers. The other articles which follow are principally taken from the Morning Chronicle, and Courier, the latter friendly to the administration, and the former opposed to it.
