Latest from England.

An arrival at New-York, from Liverpool brings papers to the 26th Aug. from which we have made a few extracts. The new wheat has begun to come in, and though of smaller grain than former crops, was still heavy and well colored.

Of political news the papers are extremely barren. The most material article of interest to the American reader, is one which states, that Mr. Gallatin the American Minister to the Court of France, had arrived in London, being charged, it is said, with powers to negotiate a commercial treaty between the U. States and Great Britain. It was reported in London and published in papers of that place, that the commercial treaty, in negotiation at Paris, between France and the U. States, is for the present, entirely at a stand; the conference, on the part of France being discontinued. The United States, some time ago, were also refused a commercial treaty with Holland.

The Queen of England was considered to be in a state of convalescence.
