By way of Jamaica, we_now have advices
that the Department of Magdelena has also
united with the above provinces for_ the _same
purpose. Carthagena papers of the 29th of
September, with which we have been furnish-
ed, contain the details ofthis act of the Muni-
cipal Authorities, and a de'laration ofthe ne-
cessity that exists for an‘ improvement in the
present state of things. “/0 have also been
favored with the following extract of a letter
from a very respectable gentleman at Cartha-
gena, by which it will be seen that a most im-
portant change in the government of Colom-
bia is about to be made, and, that BOLIVAR
is to be invested with supreme authority!
CARTHAGENA, Oct. 1, 1826.
“Dear Sir—An opportunity offering for
Jziiiiriica, permits us to enclose to you an ex-
traordinary Gazette of this city, containing
the proceedings had and resolutions adopted
by the military chiefs, municipality, and citi-
zens, on the 28th and Ettltii ult. by which you
perceive that our province joins Venezuela 81'.

form ofGovernment ; the affair has been con’-

interrupted a moment, and all goes on as tho’
nothing" had happened; a messenger is to be
immediately sent to Bolivar, who is expected.
in Bogota on the ldih ofthis month,&. whose
presence will we hope restore concord to the
. Republic. W's beg leave’ to convey to you
our firm conviction, that no event will endan-
ger fii -eign property in this_ country; whatever
change may take place in the form of Gov-
eriiinent, neither we not our property will be
molested—and we shall be glad to learn that
all who have interests here, feel satisfied un-
der this assurance.
the people is to give to Bolivar extraordinary
power, to act as he may think proper ; the end
uill probably be, that he be named perpetual
dictator. Friends as we are to the cause and
march of ,liberty_througliout the world, we
cannot help admitting that this people are rioi
capable of enjoying it, and would be more
happy under a rigorous military despotism,
'a'liich we are fast approaching to. These
frequent political movements will wefear af-
fect our friends in London, but we do not our-
selves doubt, that if Bolivar returns and acts
under the extraordinary powers given to him
all the creditors of the cotintry will feel the
benefit ofit. One of his first measures will
be, to re-establisli the national credit abroad
as well as at home. We see no evil to appre-
hend, and a great deal of good to result from
the change.” '
The Carthagena Gazette Extra, ofQ9th of
Sept. states that a meeting ofthe inhabitant.-
r.fthat place had been held at the invita'ion
of the municipal authorities, with consent of
the Intendant of the province, to take into
consideration the alarming state of public af-
fairs. and to devise means for avoiding the
dreadful calamities with which they were
threatened by the deranged condition of their
national governriieiit—aiid, following the ex-
ample oftliedepartment ofGuayaquil, Ecua
dor, Asiiay, and the Isthmus, the meeting re-
solved that théy would preserve the most per-
fect order and tranquility as heretofore—'Aud
considering‘ the Liberator President" as the
common centre of attraction and coiifirleiicc
to all Colombians,they determined to petition
him to take in his charge the destiny of the
nation, and to invest him with the aritlioriiy
necessary to save it. They" further resolved
to despalch a messenger forthwith to the Lib-
erator President, to declare their anxious de-
sire that he should take the administration
into his liands—aiid to‘ solicit him ’ to hasten
his march, and adopt such measures as hi,
wisdom should dictate for the salvation ofthe
country. i

The recent events at Cartliagena forcibly
demonstrate thetriith ofan opinion entertain

hirr-..-cll',rhat the'Coloinbiansweie unacquaint-
ed '--irh the science of Government. Tothat
defect we may attribute the present state of‘
disorganization -into which the country has
fallen. _ r i
‘To men" accustomed only to obey the arbi-
trary mandates of Spanish Viceroys,and their
subordinate ofiicers. it could hardly be expec-
ted that they could 'all at once be competent-
to direct the machine of a popular govern-
merit.“ The expcritneiit has been tried, ‘and,
as we have seen, has failed for want of ade-
quate force in the Executive Power. Th-~

Republic, which may eventually lead on to
absolute Monarchy, appears to be the best
form of Govérnmentfor thatcouutry. Eng-

coi.iut‘ry in tlie_ world where it waspnssible that
it free Constitution could exist under the do-
minion ofa Sceptre anda Crown. -‘ II the re-
cent events on the Main have any effect,which
_we think unlikely, "upon their coiiitnerc‘ial re-

and, it is not unlikely, it may throw some
light upon the disposal of-the great loans the

The present iutciition of
-Emancipation of Slaves in Tc:cas.—- _
learn by a gentleman of this place, who am"
ved a fetv days since froni Miller County,lhnt
a ‘citizen ofthat county had returned just be-
fore he started, from the province ‘of’1‘exas.
bringing information that great excitement
p‘revail’d in the several colonies in that country
when he left there, in consequence of the re-
cent passage ofa law by the Mexican Gov-
ernment for the emancipation ofall the slaves
in the Province of Texas, and that orders had
been received for carrying it into iininediate
effect. As may well be supposed, this iultir
mation produced the greatest consternation
among the slave holders, all of whom had em-
barked to that country under an assuraricc,as
w‘e are informed, from the local authorities
ofTexas, that they could hold their slaves;
though we are under the iuipressioii that
slavery is prohibited throughout the Repub-
Iic. by the Coristiiiitiori of Mexico.
The large slave holders were hurrying off
their slaves in great numbers into Louisiana
and Arkansas ; and we have heard of several
persons who emigrated from this Territory,
who have recently crossed the line, into Lou-
isiana with their slaves. Those persons who
have but few slaves, have held meetings, at
which it was resolved that they would stand
by each other in resisting the execution ofthe
law, until they can gather this year’s crop, af-
ter which they have determined to.leave the
country.
We also learn thattlie Indians have been
very troublesome for some time past. to the
colonists. and tliatiri many settlements. they
were under the necessity of erecting forts
for their protection, and retreating into them
for security. Several persons had been killed
by the Indians within a few months, but at
the latest advices, the alarm was subsidiug.—
The crops are said to be short this season,and
the country very sickly. ‘

Hurricane in North Caralinar-One of
the most tremendous, awful and desructive
hurricanes, of which we have any record,
passed through the country about twenty-five
miles above Salisbury, N.C. innearly an easi
direction, on Friday evening, the 20th ult.
The current ofwind was only about 100 yards
in width. In its course it swept every thing
from the ground ; such was its resistless fury,
that the sturdiest oaks,and the heaviest rocks,
were torn from the earth, and blown off like
feathers before an ordinary wind. This is ex-
travagant language, we know ; but it is no
more sothan the reality will hear us out in
using. The forest, where the hurricane pass
ed, was levelled to the ground.’ presenting the
appearance ofa meadow of luxuriant grass,
with a single swath mowed through the centre
of it. Wherever it passed a plantation. it
totally annihilated every thing in its course.-
The greatest siifferer we have heardof, is
Samuel Jones, esq. (late sheriff of Rowan
county.) The hiirircan'e unfortunately passed
directly over the mostjvaluable improveincnis
on his plantation near Yarlkin river, about 24
inilesabove Sailsbury;and it _left desolation
and death in‘its wake. His large dwelling.
the kitchens, smoke houses, negro houses and
a great number of other out-houses, with all
their contents, were entirely swept from the
gr-“ouud ‘where they stood, and blow.n off into
thousands of atoms,'and scattered_ over the
country for miles around. 2 negroes were kil
ed,and another not expected to live. For-
tunately a niiinlier of negroes, on liearinc, the
coming of the wind ran into a large barn,
which was but littlejnjiired; the ciirreutoftlie
ivind passingeast ofit. On the ‘[1t)l’li‘l_, east
side of.tlie river, the hurricane in its course,
passed directly over the farm of Mr. Jacob
Hooveryswept away all his bui|dings,aiid ev-
ery thing in them, and killed his" daughter,
aged about 11 years. ‘We have not learned
the whole extent ofthe hurricane. _, To give
some idea ofthe tremendous force ofthe wind,
we can state, on the best authority, that large
timbers‘.-' 12 inchcssquare, and 20" or 30 feet
long. were carried two and three m_lles; some

3/Ir. Canning was about to return from Pa-
ris.- The French papers give regular bullet-
ins ofliis dinners. He has‘ dined with the
Pnpe’s Niincio, and was to dine on the tst
Oct. with Mr. Brown the America!) minister-
Mr. GALLATXN, our iniuisier, had gone
with his family on a visit to_ Paris.
.\lr. Canning, says the National Gazette,
created rriore sensation, excited more curiosi-
ty, and. exerted more influence in Paris, than
any iiidividiial who has visited that city since
the Allied Sovereigns, when they arrived as
conqueror. Such is the ascendancy ofcivic
taleits and renown, even at courts, and in the
mitlsi of military heroes!
We copy the following from the Courier
Francois ;—-“ M r. Caniiing’s departure from
Paris seems fixed for the Sloth. We are assured
that hitherto Count dc Villcle and Hi. Can-
ning have not had more than three or four in
terviews besides itieetiiig at official dinners.—-
These could not have been too many to have
fallen in accord, as it is said they have, upoti
the respective courses to be pursued towards
Spain and Portugal. But there has never
been a question among the persons likely to
be well informed of those frequent and con-
secntrve discussions that mighht lead to the
suppositioii of real negotiations on the discus-
'~ion ofany coininon system. No minor, nor
khsquietiide has arisen ainongthe diplomatic
hotly, which never sluiiibers in circumstances
or iiris kiiid, through a constant fear of being
made a dupe. More security is now peceivcd
than some days ago. The continuance Q/‘the
peace q/‘Europe is more than ever the watcli-
-uirri. Too nnnieroiis couriers that Mr. Cari-
iiing receives and dispatches from the hotel of
the British Ernbasy is explicable without airy
great mystery,if,as we are assured is the case,
he has reserved to himself, during his stay in
Paris,the transaction ‘oftliebusiness ofliis de
partnient, and his political corrcspondence.—
The conjectures of a triple alliance between
England, France, and Austria, against the
eventual projects of Russia, seem to be quite
iiiiiouuded ” The Courier goes on to say,
that it seems to be agreed that Russia shall eti-
ier Moldiivia 8:. Walachia ifher demands are
not complied with, but this occupation is not
to no considered as a war.—-“ It will be”adds
tliejourual, “almost asecond edition ofour
entrance into Spain, with this difference, that
the Russians will notgo out again, aiiil will
not pay airy thing.” It then supposes that if
Russia keeps po.sessiou of the two priricipal-
ities, Austria will take Servia and Bothnia,

“ As for us,” says" the“ Courier, “ whatever
may t_.ke place, we have enough to do with
our exchange, our Jesuits, our religious dis-
pines, our distribution of indeinniiies, our
cauker_ofSpaiii, and the necessity ufprevcnt-

Violation of the Grcwe.—The latest Liver-
pool papers contain an account of the discov-
cry of a depository of dead bodies stolen from
the cemeteries in that city, which far exceeds
any thing, and indeed every thing, that we
have heretofore seen or heard on that subject.
Several casks were shipped on board ofa ves-'
sel bound to Leith, which proved to be so of-
fensive, that an examination‘ was made, and
it was ascertained that they were filled with
dead bodies, covered witli dry salt. The
casks being opened. they were found to con
tatn eleven corpses, men, women, and child-
ren. The carter who carried-tlie casks being
discoveredghe stated fromiwhence he took the
casks ; and upon searcliingthe place, twenty-
two more bodies were found, preparing for
exportation also. "Upon -further inquiry, it
appeared that leis trade had been carrying on
for at least nine months ;'and it was very ap-
parent that the .-anatoiiiical schools at Edin-
burgh had been largely supplied from Liver-
pool with human bodies for dissection.D. ./idv.

' he account ofhostilities between Persia

with 20.000 Cossacks, are ' ordered to the
froi tiers of Persia.
A letter from Moscow of September 14,
says, doubts were some tiuie entertaiiied at
the Court of St. Petersbiirgh, whether the
hostilities coimnitted upon the frontiers of
Persia, were to be attributed to the restless
and turbulent spirit ofthe hordes which dwell
in those countries, or to a positive intention
on the part‘ of the Scliali; but intelligence
brought by it courier that arrived here yester-
day, lias set the question at rest, and our Cab-
inet considers itself decidedly in a state of
formal war with Persia.” Another let-
ter, from the frontiers of Russia, con-
firms the intelligence ofa formal declaration
of war by Russia, in consequence of the in-
cursions of the Persians; the march oftroops
to reinforce the Russian army in Georgia ;-
and the revolt of s.iuie of the frontier Provin-
ces. A letter, under the date of St. Peters
burgh, Sept. the 21st, states. in reference to
this Persian irruption,that numerous bodies
oftroops have l't'C6lV6d orders to the Carica-
sus to reinforce the army of Georgia. The
Persians, on their side are said not to be idle.
They have advanced still further and in grea-
ter force, into the Russian territory. and have
excited a rebellion in two out of the tliiee
Musslcman Provinces belonging to Russia.-—
According to the barbarous custom ofthe O-
rientals, Prince Menzikolf and his Officers,
who composed the Russian Embassy at the
Court of Schah, have been retained as pris-
oners. It is not, however, supposed tliathos-
tilities can be commenced with any vigour on
either side before winter.
Accounts from Odessa of September 19,
state that the irruption of the Persians has
been a signal for an almost gem‘-ral insurrec-
tion in their favour. Among the Tartars are
Carabat, Schirwan, Chests, and Elizabethpol

forcements, but in the mean time the country
isravaged. The consternation amongst the
Armenian merchants is ‘very great ; they have
suspended all their business and all their pay-
ments. Teflis the entreport for the merchan-
dize consumed in Georgia, or sent into Persia,

Conslantinoplew-It will-be recollected that
according to our-last advices, :1 dreadful fire
broke out in Constantinople ’ on the 31st of
August, which was raging on the 3rd of Sep-
tember. It broke outjust before the sacred
standard of the Prophet was to be taken with
great ceremony from the Seraglio and repla-
ced in the Kliause, or imperial Treasury,
whence it was taken on the occasion of the
late suppression ofthe Jariissaries. It began
in a baker’s shop, and such was its fury that,
in Pera it was thought to have had ahundred
beginnings. The palace ofthe Vizicr was
consumed. It is supposed that the number of
The firerhad been e.xtiugui.-had in several'pla-
ces, but it broke out again afresh, and the
people being irritated, neglected those meas
ures they ought to have adopted with energy.
It is said that the astrologers have predicted,
that, on the 27th day of the moon, the day for
the return ofthe Sandjak Sheriff, a great fire
would break out, and be the precursor of a
political re-action. The destruction of the
property which it occasioned was immense.
There was no reason to suppose according to
this a'ccount,that it had been produced by de-
sign. ' ~ ’
Letters from Odessa mention a report, tliai
during the late fire at Constaniinople, a con-
spiracy was discovered amongthe new troops
encauiped at _ the Seraglio, and a dreadful
contesttook place before they were subdued.
According to intelligence from Constariti
nople,a firmau has been read in the mosques,
threatening all men who venture to speak of
public affairs and the late fire wiili being hung.
Women guilty of the same crime are to be
tied up in sacks and cast itito the sea.
Advices from Constantinople are to the
11th of September. Since the dreadful fire
_wliicli nonsunied a part ofthis_ capital, a kind
nftranquility prevails, but the distress ofthe
Turks and Armenians, who wander about
withoutau asyluin, is beyond description. It
is now out of all doubt, that the fire was the
act of the Janissaries and their party. It
may be remetnbered, tliat'__a't' the time oftlieir
suppressionthey covered the walls of Con-
stantinople. with placards, in which they
threatened the Sultan that _th'cy would return,
even from the bottom of thepsea, to avenge
their wrongs. For soiiie-tiiiiepast the Divan,
and even t‘tie.Sultan himself, appear more un_-
easy than ever. This may be inferred from
the new measures which havejust been adopt-
ed. In order not to reduce the inferior clas-
ses oftlie population to despair the Govern-
ment is obliged to keep provisions at a lowe.
price than they were twenty years ago. The
prospect ofthe future is, nevertheless, gloomy
and threatening. Since’ the delivery of the

that these demands willtend to render the‘
Porte still more disposed to submit to the con-
ditions imposed by Russia. However, noth-
nig has yet transpired respecting the resolu-
uous of the Divan.’ .
