New-Yortx, June 14.
_ By an arrival at this port,London papers
have been received to the 16th of May.
~ The cause ofReform continues to pros-
per in,every_part of the United Kingdom.
The majority for the Reform Bill according
to the latest returns was 140, and it was
anticipated that this number would be still
farther increased. Ireland, it is calculated,
will return 80 members in favor ofthe bill.
In ‘Scotland the elections ltad been more
favorable than was anticipated.
The intelligence from Portugal is highly
gratifying. It will be seett that the ap-
pearance ofa British squadron in the Ta-
gus, compelled Don Miguel to make very
humble acknowledgments to the British
Gov’t; and similar acknowledgments to
France may be anticipated as the results
ofthe naval expedition prepared by the
government of that country, and about to
sail from Toulon.
The Poles continue to prosper. The
fourth plan of Gen. Diebitsch for their de-
feat has been completely frustrated ; and
according to the latest accounts the Rus-
sian army have retreated as far as the Bug,
and was preparing to cross the river. The
report of their retreat which we published
last week was premature; for after leaving
Siedlec, it seems Geu.D. marclted towards
\Varsaw,the Polish army retreating in good
order before him till they arrived at Praga
opposite \Varsaw on the Vistuln, where
they took a firm stand. Finding it itnpos-
sible to make any impression upon them,
and unable to‘ obtain provisions for his ar-
my, Gen. D. then commenced his retreat,
and at the latest dates had get beyond
Siedlec, the Polish army in pursuit.
It will be perceived with regret that the
brave Gen. Dwernecki. who at the head of
a small body ofPoles had done so much
by his activity to promote insurrections in
Volhynia, has at last been driven by a
greatly superior force into the Austrian
territory, and has surrendered his arms to
the Austrian authorities.
POLAND.
Fourth Retreat of the Russians.
The following summary account of the
- news from Poland is from a late London
paper.
At length we have received authentic in-
telligence from Poland, and we rejoice to
say of the most cheering kind. The Rus-
sian comtnander-in-chief,who some months
ago, in the pleuitude of presumption,
pledged himselfto hs master,that, by a cer-
tain day, he would display the Russian ea-
gle in 'Warsaw, has again been foiled, his
plans again deranged,and with the bulk of
his troops, he has been obliged to fall back,
in discomfrture and disgrace, before the ar-
~ my of the patriots. This is the fourth time
that this doughty conqueror, whose high
pretensions have new beconte a laughing
stock even to his own thick-headed follow-
ers, has seen his claims to immortality van-
ish. Of the details of this last advance of
the Russi‘ansl,olpétSnb\e .,,-',*,'(',*'_;y,g,‘,,“, ‘f,.;,“ },,,“;t
3:-:a1.al..‘n‘t-‘ls at both sides, and they differ
but little front each other. As soon as
, the first .,movement from Siedlec, which
was Diebitsch's head quarters for‘ some
time, denoted an intention on the part of
the enemy to advance, Skyrznecki des-
patched couriers to \Varsaw to prepare
them for a retreat of the army, and to de-
sire that the place might in a condition to
sustain a siege, in case the fortune of war
should be against the cause in a general
. engagement. Nothing could exceed the
enthusiasm with which the news was re-
ceived. The citizens renewed their as-
surances ofdevotion to their country; and
we are told that, in an incredibly short
space of time, a new tetc-du-pant was con-
structed at Praga, and a second wall of pro.
tection was thrown up by 15,000 men,
which was sufficient to shelter the whole
’ of the patriot army. The most influen-
tial senators and citizens went out to join
the camp, and every one ‘had reconciled
himself to the worst. The retreat, in the
mean time,’ cbntinued, the Poles every
where cagrying with them the inhabitants
of tlte ,r:ountry, and every description of
provision which could serve as subsistence
to, the enerny.—-Upon the 27th Skrzynecki
had reached the cap‘ital,and fixed his head-
quarters there; the bulk ofhis army was
at Milosna, a dozen miles distant. In
.' their retreat they appear to have been
—o-
\
greatly harassed by the Russians, and at
Minsk an action took place, in which the
Russians say the Poles lost a cosiderable
number of men ; but this is denied by the
accounts upon the other side. Arrived at
"Demb'e-'Wielki, the Russians found that
they "could not procure " even a little
straw for their horses,” and the Field
..Marshal had, therefore, no alternative, but
again to sound.a retreat, in which he has
been pursued by the Poles ; and the last
‘account of birnis .from;Mordy which is be-
yond Seiillec, the point from which he set
.out. On the 29th April the whole Polish
.’arn'ty'had'aga'in advan‘ce,d,,and- resumed its
,.former positions at Kostrayn, and beyond
Siennica. On the 30th the Polish army
‘aa‘vas¢sa, and the vanguard was in the
morning for Kaluszyn. The effect of
of this retrograde movement mustbe high-
Jy favorable to the patriot cause, for be-
sides‘ its influence upon the still wavering
__ prlovincés of. Russian Poland, it proves
..thaI'~Ihe.stlbsis_tence of the Russian army
is entirely d_cpen,da_nt upon their supplies
.in the rear:-, and these may be intercepted
by tho insctrgents. , , '-
The only drawback to this exhilirating

racyjs nolgtngor questionable) of cholera
’- marbus prevailing amongst the Polish
troops_ It-is said, however, to he ab-sting
of its virulence and morality.
‘Polish Ofllcial Accounts.
The Warsaw State Gazette .gives‘tw.o
official bulletins from General Skrzyneckt.
- The first is dated at Milosna, near ‘Val’?
saw, April 28, and the substance of it is
thus given in a letter front Warsaw.
“General Diebitsch had concentrated all
hisforces, and in person, at the head of his
advanced guard, attacked on the 25th our
rear guard near Kuflew. Col. Dembtnskl
commanded the Polish troops in a battle of
wltelming force, who had 18 pieces of can-
non, whilst the Poles had only 4 pieces.-
The Russian Field Marshal endeavored to
surround the Polish right wing with his
main army. [According to the plan form-
ed by Skrzynecki in the cotttntettcentent of
the campaign, he did not intend giving bat-
do to the overwhelming force ofthe Rus-
sians in that part ofthe country, which, it
appears is not advantageous: consequently
he gave orders to the troops to retreat to
Kostrzya, a retreat which was effccted.—-
Gcn. Gielgud and part of Gert. Skrzynec-
ki’s corps formed a reserve guard atl\’1insk,
which was attacked the following morning
at 11 o’clock.] The enemy presented a
great mass of infantry and cavalry, as well
as a numerous artillery, but all his attacks
were repulsed. after a battle of several
hours, which did all honor to Gen.Giclgud,
who afterwards retired to his former posi-
tion. “ I can assure the National Gov’t,7’
says Gen. Skrzynecki, “that the enemy
have not made one prisoner,unless it is the
sick of the cholera which were left in the
‘forests. Yesterday, General Uminski, in
marching from Okurnow to Staniawow, at
the head of two squadrons of Lublin
cavalry-,(quite new troops,) met General
Nassakin’s cavalry brigade; the squadrons
attacked them bravely,and dispersed them.
The enemy lost upwards of 30 men and 1
officer killed, and a captain with 72 men
and horses were made prisoners. \Ve had
3 officers and 5 soldiers wounded, but not
one killed. The detachments sent into
the forests continually bring in prisoners of
the -dispersed brigade. Signed,
lllilosna, April 28. Sttnzvrsacrtr.
The second bulletin is dated at Jendi-
zejoro, May 2, and is designed as a supple-
ntent to the other. The substance of it is
as follows:
Gert. Skrzynccki relates the advance of
the Russians from Seidlic’, the action near
Minsk, in which Gen. Gielgud so greatly
distinguislted himself, and did not retreat
till the enemy brought forward large mass-
es of fresh troops, and then retreated in
good order, repelling all the attacks made
on him. The Polish loss was 3 officers
and 85 subalterns and privates wounded.
The enemy’s loss, the general says,was far
greater, from the well directed fire of the
Polish artillery. The general then uten-
tions that he intended to have fought a
battle at Donbe, if the enemy had offered
it, which seemed to be his intention, as his
movements were not to be accounted for on
any other supposition; yet,in the night of
the 29th, the enemy began to retreat, and
was followed by the Polish vanguard,which
took martxttrisoners. _ .In.the night ofthe
'2r\.l._ Y ' i‘,_,..)\u¢ .a, “run 1; uaacuua,
surprised and attacked the camp ofa whole
regiment of Cossacks, some ofwhom were
killed, some made prisoners, and the re-
mainder dispersed in the forests. The
General-in-Chiefcomplains ofthe ravages
committed in sonte places by the Russians,
and says that some physicians, sent to the
hospitals for the cholera patients at Mien-
ca, had been taken as prisoners of war.-
He adds, however, that he must do justice
to the humanity of several of the Russian
generals ;" their Field Marshal Diebitsch,
finding 50 wounded Poles at Minsk, had
given orders that.the greatest care should
be taken of them, and the behaviour of
general Krcutz to that-flicers of Sierrvaski‘s
corps whom he had taken prisoners, has
been truly noble.
The General then communicates Gen.
Dwernecki's Report from his Camp near
Kolondo, dated 24th April. This report
relates to an action at Baromel on the 18th
of April, against Gen. Rudiger‘s corps,
which is here stated to have consisted of
12,000infantry and cavalry, with 22 can--
non. Gen. Dwernecki says the enemy
lost eight cannon, many killed, 800 wound-
ed, and 100 prisoners: his own loss was?
oflicers (severely wounded) and 50 men
taken prisoners or killed, and 8 officers and
60 men wounded. "There being new
nothing to hinder my advance,” so con-
cludes the report, “ I passed the night on
the field, marched on the 20th at day break,
to Bresluzko, where I passed the Styr un-
opposed, and cncantped at Cholym. On
the 21st in the morning I arrived Radzwel-
low, on the 22d at Taraz, and on the 23d
in Kulondo.”

Accounts from Brody of the 26th of A-
pril, in the same paper (the Warsaw State
Gazette) say, “ThePoles left Radzewillow
on the 22d, and Dwernicki with his corps
turned towards Kamiruce. On the 25th,
it is said, there was a trifling action near
Kolondo, to the advantage ofthe Poles.

gage, however, still remains on the fron-
tier, becaase the return ofthe Poles is ev-
ery moment apprehended.”
Letters from Vienna to the 5th of May
contains the account of the movemems of
Gen. Dwernicki to the 1st of May, when
he was compelled to take refugefrom the
combined forces of the Russiansfin Ansu-i-
an Gallica. “ This gallant oflicer," says a
....j»‘
and Roth, had no alternative on the nigltt
of the 30th ult. or 1st inst. but to take rel‘;
several hours, against the enemy's over- .
Ugo in Austrian Gallica,
near Zharasz, whither
sued by the Russians, until a squadron of
Austrianhussars interposed between the
combatants, and enforced the neutrality of
their province. The Russians apologized
and retired.’ The Poles were to surrender
their arms, and be cantoned wherever the
Austrian government assigned them quar-
te-rs." -
Rrtssiazz Account.
The Russians claim a victory over the
Poles at Minsk, and say that they lost sev-
eral hundred killed, besides Wounded and
prisoners, while the loss of the Russians
was only 20 killed, and at ntost 100 wound-
ed. After this success, it might have been
supposed that the Russians would push ort-
wards towards. Warsaw, but their report
accounts in the following manner for the
retre:tt,which was immediately resolved on:
As the army of the rebels has every
where shown but little inclination to accept
the battle which was offered to it, and the
whole country in which the Russian army
is now,has already been the theatre of war,
and is so entirely exhausted that even a
little straw is scarcely to be had, the Rus-
sian army will return to its former positions,
and, in the sequel, when its subsistence has
been secured for a long time, will find
means to compel the rebels "to a battle
which willdecide the fate oftlteir country.
It is plain from this—-—tltcir own showing
——that tltc Russians are unable to effect a-
ny thing at present with or without rein-
forcements, until they have replaced those
magazines and supplies which the Poles
have taken or destroyed. The boasted
accessions of force which are said to be on
the march tojoin them from the interior,
must be an injury rather than an advantage,
until they can command these supplies.-
As Gen. Dwernicki is now out of the way
they may be able to obtain them from
Volhyma and Lithuania, and in this case it
is to be feared that they will soon return
to the contest, and carry the seat of war a-
gain to the banks of tlteVistula. The in-
surgents in those provinces, however, are
by no means wholly put down. In Lith-
uania several Nobles have placed them-
selves at the head of the insurrection.’-
Prince GabrielOginski commands the new
levies on the right bank of the Nie-men, &
his nephew, Prince Thaddeus Oginski, is
collecting all the disposable forces. He is
/an old officer of the artillery of Constan-
tine’s Guard, and his wife’s brother, Baron
Boone, 21 Samogitiau, has already embra-
ced the national party.
Latcstfrom Polrztzd.-—.IIaml)urgh pa-
pers to the 10th of May inclusive, bring us
the gratifying intelligence that the Rus-
sians were retreating in all directions. Di-
ebitsch is said to have left 10,000 sick at
Siedlec. He is retreating with his whole
army to the Bug, over which river he has
thrown bridges. A number of details are
given of partial engagements, in which the
Poles have had the advantage. An army
obliged to leave behind materiel and pris-
oners, must suffer much from a vigorous
enemy at their heels. -

Naval expedition against P02-(1/gal.
A letter front Toulon of May 7th says,
“We hear a great deal ofa ministerial dis-
patch,which is said to have brought orders
for two ships of the line, three frigates, and
a brig, to set sail for Portugal. This news,
which has spread through the whole city,
has caused a very great sensation. All the
officers of the squadron are eager to go
and revenge, on the odious Don Miguel
the insult offered to the French nation in
the person of one of its most respectable
citizens.”
Comntotiotzs in Paris.-——A letter front
Paris dated May ].1tlt states that crowds of
the working classes had assembled for sev-
eral days in the Vendome, crying “ Live
the Republic ;” but they were soon dis-
persed by the National Guards, and no im-
mediate mischief was apprehended.
BELGIUM. The Belgic journals
assure us thatthere is no truth in the report
of Prince Leopold’s refusal to accept of
the Crown. On the 2d May the Deputies
had an interview with him, and still hold
out to their countrymen strong probabilities
that he would accept oftheir propositions.
‘Brussels papersto the 14th May speak

ceptance of the Throne of Belgium by

ITALY. A letter from Rome, dat-
ed on the night of the 1st ofMay, informs
us that the moderate councils of diploma-
cy were completely successful with the Pa-
pal and Austrian Cabinets,as to the moans
of restoring tranquility in Italy; and the
Popeuvas on the following Monday to
have issued a general amnesty for all polit-
ical offences. The same was to he done
in Burma and Modena, rind the Austrian

the English, French, Prussian, and Rus-

mails ofyesterday brought: us another corn-
munication frotn the late Secretary of the Na-
vy, in reply to a letter addressed to him by a
uuntbcr of the citizens of Bertie. Omitting
the introductory part, it. is as follows :
In the first place, then, as to the motive
which influenced Mr. T. in his course in
the Senate of the United States on the
Turkish mission, I profess to know noth-
ing. With Mr. Van Buren, I have had
frequent, personal and official intercourse,
and the time wnzs when he possessed my
confidence. Mr. Calhouu’s private virtues
and public services, particularly during the
W—fi.
talents, always cornmztnded my respect,
but his latitudinous political doctrines du-
ring Mr. l\lonroc’s administration, met my
disapprobation. Hence it is that no one,
correctly informed, has ever considered
me his political partisan. As to my-
self, I cart truly say that I have no person
in view for the succession, I am at a loss
to say who among the prominent politicians
I ought to support. , Fortunately for me
and the country, this question rnuy yet be
advantageously postponed.
The present controversy between Gen.
Jackson and Mr. Clay, can never divide
Southern politicians to any extent. The

latter, has but few advocates among South-
crn planters, and its author still fewer ad-
hercnts. On Gert. Jackson then, who is
htmselfa planter, we must depend, with a
confident reliance on the justice of Cott-
gress for reliefagainst the oppression of a
system ofexactions which if persevered in,
must ultimately lead to the most calami-
itous results. The great and fundamental
principles which divided our country into
parties, are of momentous concern, and
are every way worthy of the untiring vig-
ilance of the American people. The
journals of the senate ofthe U. S. for the
six years that I was a member ofthat ho-
dy, will bestshow my opinions,ou the Tar-
rfls of 1824 and ’28, which now threaten
the repose ofthe Union, and the prosper-
ity of the Southern country. These afford
an earnest of the cause which I shall feel
it to be my duty to pursue in reference to
any measure which may be calculated to
repeal or mitigate this “ bill of abomina-
“°"'='." as it had been emphatically called
by one of its present most active and elli-
crent supporters,
The next point to which you invite my
“"°“il°fl. is the Banl..of the United States.
I am unable to perceive how I can vote
for tlterertewal of the charter in any form.
My opinion in relation to Banks is oflong
standing, andhas, in North Carolina at
lfiasls become somewhat a matter of pub-
lrc notoriety. I have believed that it was
the trttentrun of the framers ofthe Feder-
al Constitution, that the currency ofthe
United States should have been metalic,
and I inferred this from the technical lan-
gttage employed, and the exclusive power
given to Congress to win. money and to
r_egulate its value, with the positive inhibi-
Non on the states to do any thing, or to
emit bills of credit, or to make any thing
but gold and silver coin a tender in pay-
ment of debts. But the ingenuity of man
has sought out many inventions, and the
person would be thought mad, who at this
day, would seriously urge the above opin-
l0lls finding that every State in the Union

To Messrs. B. Outlaw, Geo. Rt. -C.
Watson, &.c. &c.
ill] the highest
Front t/zc C/zeroqlrcc Plzrcnilt.
On last Monday, our worthy Post Mas-
ter, Rev. S. A. W orcostcr, who has given
general satisfaction for the faithful and able
mattner in which he has discharged the du-
ties of his office, was turned out to make
way for \Vm. J. Tarvin, a trader who
came into the nation under a license from
the United States Ageut,accordiug to the
law of 1802, regulating trade and inter-
course with the Indian tribes, but who has
since taken the oath ofallegiance to Geor-
gia, and is now selling spiritous liquor to
the Indians, against the express injunction
of the law referred to above. The pres-
ent administration must be Lynx-eyed if
they can see front \Vashington “public in-
terest” suffering in these woods, and if they
can “promote” it in this manner.
Pnocnuss 01-‘ OPPIIESSXON.--It was stated
in the newspapers some time since, that
the Rev. Mr. Worcester, one of the mis-
sionaries among the Georgia Cherokees,
had been arrested by authority of the laws
of Georgia, for residing in the Cherokee
nation, but that he was afterwards dismis-
sed, on the ground that he was a deputy
postmaster, and therefore an officer under
the government of the U. States. Shortly
afterward,Mr. \Vorcester was dismissed
from the post office, and another person
appointed in his place. Being thus, by
the assistance of the national government,
stripped of his oflicial character,he was pre-
pared for the unrestricted vengeance ofthe
laws of Georgia. By a letter from a Col.
Sanford, dated the 28th of May, Mr. \V0;'-
cester and the Rev. Mr. Thompson, were
warned to depart in tort days from the
Cherokee territory, on the penalty, in case
of disobedience of the order of arrest, and
such punishment as the laws ofGeorgia
provide——wltich we presume is confine-
ment at hard labour in the state prison.—-
Col. Sanford’s letter was accompanied by
a letter frotn Governor Gilmer of Georgia
to each ofthese gentlemen, informing them
that they must quit the territory, and giv-
ing them to understand that if they re-
mained in it, punishment would follow.
A letter from John Ridge, a Cherokee
Chief, to the editor ofthe Cherokee paper,
states, that four other persons had been
arrested under similar pretences, and were
chained together in pairs, and fastened
with locks. It also appears,that the Geor-
gia ofiicers were scouring the country, and
picking up every body they could find.
The point to which we wish to turn the
attention ofout‘ readers are the mildness,
justice, and ltuxztnrtily of the policy, re-
gzomtnottdod General Jackson lOWZl|‘(.lS
the Cherokees, and thcjusticc and magna-
nimity of the State of Georgia, in their at-
tempts to plunder theIndians ofthe-ir lands.
It is perfectly obvious, from the circum-
stance that the moment it was found that
Mr. Worcester could not be held a pris-
oner by Georgia, because he was an effi-
cer of the U. States, that he was displa-
ced for the purpose of removing that oh-
stacle to the vengeance of Georgia, that
the Administration and Georgia perfectly
understood each other; and this evidence,
if further evidence could have been wan-
ting, unansverably establishes the fact of
co-operation on the part of the national
Administration with the state of Georgia,
to enable the latter to drive these defence-
less people from their country l And if
established, what honest man will have the
hardihood tojustify such a deceitful and
disgraceful course on the part of the na-
tional government? What is it except a
cool and insidious plot, on the part of a
great and powerful nation, to defraud ‘and
plunder a poor, defenceless, and helpless
race of men, who want nothing but num-
bers, to drench their soil in blood," in at-
tempting to defend their just rights and
possessions ?—-N. Y. Daily Advertiser.

For this we are pledged, and in the honesty
of our hearts we believed that the objections
urged by his opponents, would be as beacon
lights to guide hisladministration. Above all
we confided in his own firmness &. independ-
mflfcll for Bagdad, the title of Caliplt of ded by the President, with certain well d_e- once ; in the strength of his own mind, and
in his reputed knowledge of men (a belief
confirmed in his brilliant career) for the fulfil-
ment ofthe pledges made in his behalf. It is
known that thejust ezcpectrztions of the country
were disappointed in the organization of his
cabinet. But those who were nearest to his
person, and witnesses of “ its deleterous op-
moncy, the title of stitution in the hands of the Executive, for eration," were more disappointed in the or-
ganization of the irresponsible “ malign influ-
ence” which artfully obtained his confidence,
and used his name and patronage to corrupt
the public and private morals and defeat the

BOUNDARY Q,UES'l‘lON.
The decision ofthe King ofthe Netltt.-r-
lands respecting our North Eastern boun-
dary, was lately discussed in the Legisla-
ture ofhlassachusctts; that state being
intorestcd in the public lands in that quar-
ter. One speaker, Mr. Baylios, accuses‘
the arbitrator of having been actuated by
the partiulity ofa Dutchman for NcwYotl»;.
This new notion is thus expressed :—Tlto
King of the Netlterlzttttls has llC‘.lI'd the
parties and has made his award, and a
ntost extraordinary award it is. Itvap-
pearcd to me, Sir, that he had only to se-
lect the line claimed by Great Britain, or
the line claimed by the United States.-—
Iflte intended to decide this case on strict
principle,he could have taken no middle
ground-—but he has selected a line claim-
ed by neither party and to complete the
absurdity, he has made, (ifI may be per-
mitted to make a bull) the bed of a river
the dividing highlands. None buta Dutch-
man could have done this, for in Holland,
the beds of rivers are frequently more ele-
vated than the surrounding country. He
has fulfilled Mr. Gallatin’s prediction, and
to please both parties he has undertaken
to “ split the difference," not giving to
Great Britain, indeed,'tlte wltole of the
territory which she claimed, but precisely’
that part which is valuable to her, as itse-
cures the means offreo communication be-
New Brunswick and Quebec, and then
fearing perhaps that he had transcended
the limits of strict and rigid justice to fat-
vor Great Britain in this quarter, lte makes‘-
the equivalent to the United States at the
other end of the line, and give Rouse’.-:
Point and the works there to the State of
New York, to which (as far as I under»
stand) that state has no better claim than
she has to Quebec. Now, Sir, I do not
intend to say that there was sympathy in
this case, but New York is a_Dutch State,
&. Dutchmen certainly are capable ofsym-
patlty. The equivalent for the wrong
done to Massachusetts and Maine to favor
Great Britain, is made up by wrouging G.
Britain to favor New’ York.

FAYE'i"I‘IJV'ILLE, N. C. May 7th.
Our country friends will find on refer-.

able quantities ofG'oods have been saved
from the flames, and the arrival oftwo or
three boats from Wilmington, has added

The melancholy aspect of things has
been considerably enlivened within a day
or two by the sudden appearance of four
small houses, moving along among the ru-
