By the Packet ship President, which arri- vcd yesterday from London, we have leceiV- ed lsays the N. Y. Daily Advertiser,) our re- gular files of English papers to the 18th.

 The Portsmouth papers eOntain state ment of the fitting out of a fleet of at least 20 ships of war, some of them of the largest class. to proceed to the mouth Offhe Scheldt. We find nothing in the aceOunis from the continent that has more waRlike appearance than heretofore. This large naval force from Great Britain, looks as # Ghe British Govern ment intended to settle all disputes which his Dutch Majesty may be disposed to keep up about the navigation of that river, and the af- fairs OF Antwerp. But there is no evidence n the papers that we have seen, of any movement on the part of Prussia, ar any Oth- CT Northern power, in favO of tlYe preten- siOns of Holland, or against the independenee of Belgium. On the contrary an article from London speaks the language of peace, and a determination on the part of Prussia, even tO compel Holland to come to terms. Unsup- ported by Prussia, it is, in our opinion, irnpos- sible for Holland to maintain a controversy with Belgium, with any hopes of success. The last accounts from Spain represent the King es on the recovery.

 There is no intelligence of any more fight { ing at Oporto, since the battle of the s9th of September. The latest date from thence was Oct. 2.

 From France the news is important. The formation of new cabinet, aad the creation Of number Of new peers, is 0fficiallx AnnOun- l ced. The French papers are full 0f specuIa- tiou as tO the future.

 England appears tranquil. Parliament had been again prOrOg0ed, and dissolution would not take place until the registration of votes was completed. A severe gale had been ex- pericnced on the coast. The qusr,er's reve- nue has increased.

 From Portugal, no later intelligence has been received. 1 From Turkey, the news is of very inter- estihg character; if inc accounts are to he re- lied on, it appears that tine Pacha of Egypt is I making great progress.

Moniz, arrived in Hampton Roads from Madeira viaI sIe of May having sailed from the latter 27th Oct. brings intelligence strongly confrmatory ofe distressed condition of the Cape de Verd Islands generally, from the awful ca- ] Iamity of famine. An intelligent passenger will. whom we have had an interview, states that the condition of the Islanders has not been a, al exagge- rated in the accounts previously received n the Uni ted States, and that the benedictons of thousapds will be poured forth for the timely relief sent from our
