LATE FROM EUROPE.

By the packet ship Columbia, Captain Rogers, arrived at New York from Liverpool, the Editors of the Advocate, Gazette and Daily Advertiser, have received their regular files of London and Liverpool papers, the former to the evening of the 29th June, and the latter to the 1st July, both inclusive.

These give a decided account of the removal of the King and Cortes from Seville to Cadiz, and the abortive attempt to carry off the King.

Accounts respecting Mina continue vague and unsatisfactory. Baron de Bottenbough writes from Perpignan, June 19th, that Mina's situation is desperate.

"It is now said, that he has entered the Seo D'Urgel, with no more than nine hundred men at the utmost, and that his successive losses have not only given a mortal blow to the constitutional party, but that his own influence is nearly destroyed. According to one account, he was without a convoy, while another which is dated At, June 17, says 'The division of Mina has been pursued, mutilated, and scattered to Llosa. Its remains wander about in companies of fifteen, twenty and fifty men, in a most miserable state. Mina himself is said to have shed tears on finding himself deserted and abandoned by all his guards.' It is difficult, and indeed almost impossible to elicit the truth from such contradictory statements."

An official bulletin dated at Madrid on the 19th June, states that the terror with which the march of the French columns filled the Cortes, caused them to depart from Seville with so much precipitation, that they left several millions in the coffers, and a great deal of plate taken from the churches; that there had been great desertion among the troops, and about 400 officers remained at Seville.

We learn, says the above mentioned dispatch, that the Constitutional troops of Villa Campa and Lopez Banos, which had retired towards Ronda, on being acquainted with the odious manner in which the King had been carried away from Seville, have dispersed, abandoning their generals.

The Royalist Chief Don Ramon Chamba, who took the fort of Tortosa on the 12th, made himself master on the 15th of the outer works of that Place, which he brought back under the power of his Catholic Majesty. Thus our direct communications between Catalonia and Valencia are secured by the possession of this important place.

In all La Mancha the peasants join the French and the Spanish troops, and stop the scattered detachments of the army of Ballasteros that appear in that part of the province of Navarre which is near to the kingdom of Valencia.

Gen. Bourdesoulle had marched from Cordova directly upon Cadiz, without passing through Seville; by which means he gained 5 days march and arrived on the 21st at Port St. Mary, in the Bay of Cadiz, and only 2 leagues distant from that city.

It is said that Cadiz is constantly supplied with water from this place. The rear guard of General Zayas, had been overtaken by the French army and greatly harassed.

London, (Courier,) June 28.

The Financial Expense of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wednesday next, will be of the most gratifying description, we understand. The Revenue during the present quarter will be found, we believe, to be productive almost beyond precedent, and the generally flourishing condition of the country furnishes ample ground for congratulation. The statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman is not expected to lead to any debate, as it will consist, chiefly, of a recapitulation of the measures which have been adopted during the present session.

LONDON, June 29.--(Englishmap.)

Mr. Robinson, the King's Messenger, arrived in town yesterday morning, with despatches from Spain. In the afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at the Secretary of State's Office for Foreign Affairs, which continued sitting about an hour and a half, at the breaking up of which it was expected, as soon as Mr. Canning could prepare his despatches, Mr. Ward, of the British embassy at Seville, would leave town for Spain, with the reply of the British government to the important despatch of which he was the bearer last Wednesday, from Sir W. A'Court. conveying the account of the removal of the king of Spain from Seville. A messenger was despatched to his majesty at Windsor, with the result of the meeting.

The deliberations of the Cabinet yesterday were a continuation of those of Thursday upon the same subject. Mr. Ward was waiting with the greatest anxiety to set out on his return to Sir W. A'Court, but the importance of the subject led to these prolonged deliberations in the Cabinet.

From the London Observer, June 29.

Last night we received, by express, the Paris Journals of Thursday and Friday, the 25th and 26th inst. In the Journal des Debats is a letter, dated Madrid (which will be found among our extracts); stating that Ferdinand set out by land, attended by three Grandees, the Marquis of Santa Cruz, the Duke of Nigar, and General Palafox. The departure from Seville is represented to have been attended with some disorder, and that many Counsellors of State and Deputies remained. General Bourdesoulle, instead of deviating from the high road to enter Seville, is making a rapid march to Port St. Mary's in the hope of coming up with the rear-guard of Gen. Zayas.
