FOREIGN.

NINE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE-.

The Irish Enforcing Bill was ordered to‘
a second reading in the House of Commons
on the 13th, yeas 363, nays 84. Majority
for Ministers, 2'79. .

The Irish Church Reform Bill was iii-
troduced on the 13th by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and read a first time by a
vote of 186 to 46.

The loss of the Erin steam-boat, with
every soul on board, about 50 iii number, is
fully confirmed.

Disastrous reports have been received
from Oporto, but they appear to have been
without foundation. .

Unquestioriable intelligence has been
received of the conclusion of an armistice
between the Porto and Ibrahim Pacha.

At the Privy Council held on the 15th,
the 12th of May was fixed upon to be ob-
served as ii day of thanksgiving for.the
cessation of cholera in the United King-
dom.

A public meeting was about to be called
to consider the best means of affording re-
lief to the Polish exiles in London.

It is said (remarks the Liverpool Clim-
nicle,) that the value of property in every
part of London, except what are called fa-
shionable situations, has fallen at least one
fourth, and in many instances one third.

Liverpool, .llIarch 15.

Run '07; Irish Banhs.——0n VVed-
iiesday evening last, 30,000 sovereigns were
shipped at this port, by one of the Govern-
ment steamers, for the Bank of Messrs.
Latouche &. Co. at Dublin, for the purpose
of enabling them to meet any run that may
take place.

Sale of a W'2'.f'c.—A grinder named Cal-
toii, sold his wife publicly in the Market
place, Stockport, on Monday last. She
was purchased by a shopmate of the bus-
band, fora gallon of beer! The fair one,
who had a halter round her neck, seemed
quite agreeable. The police have taken no
notice of this outrage upon public decency.

London, March 14.—Ministers have an-
nounced their willingness to admit certain
modifications of the Irish coercive bill,
W hicli are as follow :-

1. All oflicers below the rank of captain,
are to be excluded from sitting in courts
martial.

2. VVhen the court consists of more than
seven members, then seven must agree in
the verdict.

3. In a court composed of seven mem-
bers, five must agree.

4. A court of five must be unanimous.

London, llfarch l6.—Very little progress
was last night made in the Irish Disturb-
aiice Bill. Only 3 clauses out of—4l were
got through. Yet, notwithstanding this de-
lay, the bill, we take for granted, will pass
the House of Commons, in spite of the
repugnance to its principles which pervades
the whole liberal majority of that assembly,
and which has been frankly acknowledged
by the very Ministers, who felt themselves
constrained to bring in that unusual and
most offensive measure. It is certain that
in the progress of the discussions, both in
doors and out, upon some of its obnoxious
clauses, the symptoms of an increasing dis-
like to even the temporary admission of
such intruders upon our domestic policy as
courts-martial, domiciliary visits, and sus-
pensions of the Habeas Corpus Act, be-
came more perceptible every hour ; and we
had hopes, not many days ago, that the
bill, ere it passed, would have been cleansed
of most of its unwliolesome attributes.
But, iinliappily, the activity_ of murderous
outrage in I reland has proceeded without a
moment’s relaxation.

FRANCE.

London, ]VIarch 15.—The Paris papers
still continue to occupy themselves with the
affairs of the Duchess of Berry. Another
letter of the Goveiinor of Blaye has appear-
ed in a,Bordeaux journa_l, in which he re-
grets that his invitation to the Carlists to
send a deputation of their party to converse
with her Royal Highness, and to ascertain
her situation from her own lips, was not ac?
cepted, as the suspicious which they still
cherished, and which this visit might have
removed, might tend to prolong her captivi-
tytill an event happened which would just-
tify the declarations already made. By
this announcement it appears to be insinii-
ated that the Government were willing to
deliver the Duchess to her friends on her
promise to produce no further disturbance,
provided her friends would acknowledge
the justice of her previous treatment. On
this the Tribune, a republican journal, has
the charity to found a hypothesis that the
whole story of the marriage, of the preg-
nancy, and of the subsequent bad health of
the Princess, is a pure fiction, ‘for the pur-
pose of being made a pretext to grant her
her discharge, and to secure her from pun-
ishment.

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.

Brussels, Illarch ll.-—Since the arrival
of the Queen of the French in this city on
Friday last, the weather has been most se-
vere, in snow and frost; much of the gay-
eties which were expected on the occasion
have thereby been prevented.

The attention of the public has been at-
tracted to a report that the Dutch King had
offered to surrender his claims on Belgium
to France, provided that the possession of
the provinces of Limburg and Luxemburg
be guaranteed to him. This rumor is stat-
ed to arise from an intrigue, to which a few
Orangists are a party, who, from fear that
they cannot ensure the Nassau restoration,
now seek to have this country partitioned
like Poland.

The future line of conduct which may
be adopted by the King of Holland, is so
doubtful that, notwithstanding all the pro-
fessions made of an approaching peace,
there are some who expect a warlike colli-
sion within a short time. The Belgian
Government is determined not to be taken
by surprise, as in August, 1821.

Oporto, Feb. 2l.—“ It gives me pleasure
to say, that in one and the main point of
view, looked to by military men here, our
position is improved. I am informed by
themes: com:getcnt judges that the commu-

nication withthe Fez is secure, and cannot ‘
be cut off by the enemy, however he may
annoy us in the transports
The Yellow Quinta and other points are
every hour becoming stronger, and Work
goes on both day and night. '

Falmouth, Marcia 7th.——His Majesty’s

schooner Pike, is just arrived from Lisbon,

which she left on the 27th, and communicat-

ed with His Majesty’s ship Nimrod off-
Oporto, on the 28th, but the weather would

not allow her to communicate with the
shore. She brings dispatches from Oporto
up to the 2lst of February, since which we
are informed that the weather has contiiiu-
ed so bad that provisions could not he landed,
and a consequent scarcity prevails. It is
however dou'otful which are in the worst
situation, the forces of Don Miguel or Pe-

dro, although in the former sickness is said
to prevail to an alarming extent.

GREECE.

A French brig of \Var arrived at Toulon
on the 7th inst‘., from Napoli di Romania,
which place she left on the 16th ult. She
brings despatclies to the French Govern-
ment announcing that King Otho had ar-
rived at Napoli on the 6th.——On the follow-
ing day he ublished a proclamatioii, in
which he professes a multitude of good in-
tentions aiid wishes for the future prosperity
and welfare of his newly adopted country.
He recommends that all internal dissensions
should cease, and promises to use his ut-
most efforts that all cause, for their continu-
ance should be removed. He also engages
to protect the religion of the Greeks.

News is this moment received by a con-
rier, which left Constantinople on the 7th
of February,‘ that General Muravief had
just arrived from Alexandria, where his
mission had been completely successful, the
Paclia having immediately engaged to sub-
mit to the Sultan, and to suspend hostilities,
and orders to that effect were despatclied
to Ibraliam Pacha in Gen. Muravief’s pre-
sence. This important result being obtain-
ed, it may be hoped that a written conven-
tion willput an end to the troubles in the
Ottoman empire, a circumstance \Vl1lCl22:W5lll
fulfil all the wishes of the Emperor. In
this case, and as soon astlie Sultan declares
that the cause of his applying for the assist-
ance of Russiano longer exists, the squad
run which must be now at Constantinople,
will be ordered to return to Sebastopol, and
the march of the troops by land stopped.

Coiistaiztinnple, Feb. 15.---(By Express)
--Taking advantage, in haste, of an op-
portunity that offers, I acquaint you with
the general conclusion of an armistice be-
tween the Porto and Ibrahim Pacha. I
add that the convention to this effect has
already been ratified by the Sultan, as it
will doubtless be also by Meliemet Ali.
Thus agrcat step to a final arrangement
has been made, and its completion is now
considered absolutely certain.

The brig Ariel, Capt. ‘Vinson, arrived
from Matanzas, having sailed on the 1st of
April. ‘For four days previous, the number
of deaths by Cholera in Matanzas was
about 20 aday. In Havana the disease
continued to rage with great violence. Dur-
ing thelast two days of which we have ac-
counts, the number of deaths was no less
than 950, i. e. in the two days together.

SUMM.A RY.

Assault and Battery/.—At the present
session ofthe court in this city, tliree broth-
ers were convicted of the above crime, and
sentenced to several days confinement, on
bread and water. The offence was com-
mitted oii the person of a grocery keeper,
on the Sabbath day, about three months
ago. Some, or all of them, have before
been in prison. One principal cause of
their ruin can be traced to strong drink,
and they were all probably more or less uii-
der the influence of intoxication, when the
crime was committed, for which they are
now suffering. \Vitliin the last six or eight
months we stood with them by the dying
bed of their father. He was sensible he
had neglected his duty to his children. He
was concious he had not, in all respects,
set them proper examples. He wished to
make one effort for good. Calling them to
his bedside, he tooktwo oftliein affectionate-
ly by the hand, and gasping for breath, he
summoned from dissolving nature, strength
to say,‘Live better.’ Here his strength
failed---he lingered for a few minutes--—aud

they were, wept. Oh, had their father giv-
en them such a warning early, and kept
them from bad company, and taught them
to abstain from strong drink, mid cultivated
in their minds :1 regard for the Sabbath, :1
love for the Bible, and of God, they might
have been orna.meiits to society.---C2'nct°n-

Two infants uniterl like the Siamese
Twins.---A singular example ofmonstrosity
is now in London, Falcon-square, and has
been seen by SirA. Cooper with many other
distinguished members of the profession. It
will be shortly exhibited to the public view.
This monster was born lately atExetcr, and
presents two bodies united by the abdomen.
As in all cases, the sex is the samein both.
It is feminine in this example. It is singular
to observe how peculiar arc the laws of na-
ture even in her vagaries. ‘Vere we dispo-
sed to enlarge on this lusus naturw,we might
allude to several cases ofa siiniliar descrip-
tion, and in all the ‘sex is identical in both.
To the physiologist and obstetrician such
unnatural productions afford afield for spec-
ulation.---London Med. and. Surg. Jour.
Suicide.-—Mary a servant girl living with
Mrs. Rose, of Canundaigua, a few days
since,vwhilc under the influence of strong
passion, took a large dose of arsenic with
the intention as she said of frig-hteniiig the
hired man, with‘ whom it seems she had
some difficulty in regard to some very tri-
fling affair about the kitchen. . She contin-
ued in great pain for three or four days,
when she expired, with full conviction of
the awful condition in which a moment of

 JlIurder.—We are informed that the in-
habitants of Bordeiitown, N. J. were exceed-

petration of a murder in that village of the

most atrocious chracter. It appears that

an individual by the name of Joel Clough,

who has hitherto sustained a reputable char-

acter,.and for the last 18 months held an

employment as overseer or superintendent

of the work upon the Camden and Ainboy

rail-rode, has been recently boarding at a
respectable hotel in bordentown, kept by a
widow lady. Clough had been paying his
addresses to a daughter of the lady for some
time back, but his suit for some cause or
other had been rejected, when on Saturday
last, about noon, feigning sickness, he reti-

red to his room up stairs, where he sent for
the daughter under some pretence or other,
to visit him. Apprehehding no danger the
daughter accordingly did so, when Clougli.
renewed his suit, which was again rejected,
when he seized a dagger with which he in-
flicted eleven deep and fatal stabs upon her
left side and then flying to the window took
up a phial of laudzinuni and swallowed its
contents. The shrieks of the (lying dau;;li-
ter immediately brought to the room the iii-
mates of the house, to whom Clougli ex-
clained, holding up the empty pliial, It’s
all over now I can’t be harmed. The
daughter, who it app-.:ai's, is also a widow,
by the name of Mary I‘I.nlllZ0l1, survived
but a few minutes, barely mentioning the

the blows. The tragic circumstances im-
mediately drew about the liousea concourse
of people, and among others some physi-
cians, who instantly applied the stomach
pump, by which Clou;_:h’s life was saved.
He was arrested and committed to jail to
await his trial.

On examination, it was found that the
weapeii had entered her heart three times;
seven times in her side, breaking a rib, and
once in the left arm, which was also brok-
en.

The editor of the Providence Microcosm
has retired in disgust from the chair edito

all my right, title and interest, and then

with as much good will as I should fly fl'0l'l'l

in conducting a public press, I have had a
good opportunity to know it, and I do not
wish to be convinced by any further experi-
ence. \Vhatever may be the enjoyuients
which others derive from a situation like
mine, I feel no reluctance to exchange them
for the plough and sytlie. Give me a snug

Female Congress.---A meeting was held
in Portland-street Glasgow, on Tuesday
se’nnight last, composed wholly of female
delegates from the different power-loom
factories in Glasgow and neighborhood, the
object of which was to consult on the best
measures to be adopted in the present nio-
mentous crisis of their affairs. The chair
was filled by a female, and the different
resolutions drawn up and submitted to the
meeting entirely by females. A President,
Secretary, and Treasurer, with a commit-
tee, were then chosen, who proceeded to
collect themoney forwarded by the differ-
ent delegates. A vote of thanks was then
given to the president, for her conduct in
the chair; three cheers were then given for

A party ofcolored emigrants left Louis-
ville, Ky. on the 22d ult. for Lilmrai. It
numbered, one hundred and six persons,
ninety-six of whom wei'e maniiiiiitted in
Kentucky, four were from east ’I‘eniiessce,
and the others were free. Among the lat.
ter is an emigrant from Brown county, Ohio,
who goes out as a representative of three
hundred persons in that county, who con-
template einigralion to Liberal provided his
report be favorable. The emigrants left
Louisville in high spirits, having been lib-
erally provided with money and provisions
by the people of Kentucky. They were
conveyed to New-Orleans free of expense,
in the elegant steam-boat lllediterranean,
accompanied by the Secretary of Kentucky
Colonization Society. At New-Orleans
the charge of the emigration will be assum-

company them to Libera.

Steamboat Disaste1°.—\Vc learn by the
Steamboat Arkansaw, that the steamboat
Superior, on her way down, recently liurst
one of her boilers,‘ between Point Chicot
and Lake VVashington, by which accident
five persons were killed, and seven or eight
severely scalded. Among the former was
Mr. Cariies, the head engineer. The eth-
crs were firemen and deck lianrl.~z. This is
the second accident of the kind that has
happened on board the same boat within a

The late proceedings of the state ofSoutli
Carolina, and ofthe United States in refer-
ence tojthat State, will not be witlioutsonie
beneficial results. One important consider-
ation is the disclosure of the fact, that no
other State in the Union unites with that
State in the pernicious doctrines of iiullifi-
cation and secession. This fact cannot
be without its efl’ect in the future history of
the government. I-Iereafter, when any 10-
cal uneasines shall arise, and complaints
of hardships from the operation ofthe gov-
ernment shall be made, it will be under-
stood that the remedy will not he found in
threats of resistance to the laws, or a disso-

Mobile Jllarch 27.—- The Freshet.—Vl_’e
have heard from a gentlman of respectabil-

of stores, &c. ingly shocked on Saturday last, at the per- ty who come down the Toinbigbee yester-

day, in the Hunter, of some of the distress-
ing particulars of the almost unparalleled
rise of that river. At Demopolis, the rise
is said to be not less than 60 or 70 feet. It
has every where overflowii its banks on
one or both sides, and in some places spread
out a sheet of 5 or 0 miles in width, look-
ing as it was expressed, “like a sea.” The
plantations are of course inundated, and in
several instances, ourinforniant saw people
white and black, and of all ages, sitting on
the roofs of their buildings’! which were
apparently on the point of being home
away by the overwhelming, and st‘ll in-
creasing flood. Great numbers of tll'0Wl16(l
cattle were seen, and many others‘ strug-
gling in the last efforts of self-preservijltion
unable to reach the shore, which sometimes
receded by rapid stages. lt was not stated
that any liuniau lives had been lost. but
the loss in buildings and live stock must be
great.

Philar.lcl_phia.—A proposition for lighting
the streets of Philadelphia has been submit-
ted to the councils of that city, which is
represented by the individuals who suggest
it, as more ecomoniical than ~aiiy other.
It appears to be their design to erecta tow-
er of suitable higlit, in which tar and an-
llirucite can be burned together. VVitli the
aid of rcflectors, they maintaiii that a light
may be obtained equal to that occasioned
by the burning of the Mnsoiiic Itlull some
years ago, which they describe as so iii-
tense as to make every thing very clear at
the Rising Sun.

A letter dated Calcutta, Dec. 6th, states

And in his turn be beats the Barber blue ;
Then comes a Brick dust man, with rouge

TUESDAY, APRIL .16 1833.

There is a mistaken impression abroad with re-
spect to the character of the late election in this
state. It is not a triumph of Jacksouism or
J acksnn principles. By looking at tliestate of
the votes it will be perceived that one third
of the voters in the state did not feel suffi-
cient interest in the election to go, or remain
when there. The great_ body of the absent third
are opposed to the domineering of Jacksonism,
and had they felt that there was danger of it
would have been upon the ground.
swine" men knew this and all their measures
were adapted and carried into effect secret'y and
every precaution taken to avoid exciting alarm.

‘There is anothcr view of the case which is not
understood out of the slate. The distinctions
betwcen Republicans and Fcderalists, or those
who belonged to one or the other of the respec-
tive parties which commenced with Adams and
Jefferson, are ofgreater force here than in any
other State. In 1898, the distinction was of lit-
tle force—the reins were in the hands of the
republicans, the young men as they came for-
ward took that side, and the active Fetleralists,
who retained their party feelings, were mostly
aloof from politics. The people seemed to feel
that there was no danger of the revival of former
party distinctions, and without excitement or
dispute, they selected the best men & supported
ilieiii; iiint—'-.ei.tlis were Adams men, and at this
time commenced the existence of the Jackson
paity. as a parly—“ without reference to old
party distinctions.” But the party did not in-
crease, and it was necessary to make some new
attenipts. Arrangements were made last spring
to unzte as many of the Republicans as possible
with the Jackson party, on State politics, and to
a certain extent they have succeeded. A con-
siderable portion of Clay Democrats have acted
with the Jrckson men, and many of them have
been elected to the Senate and House. But
although they have thus acted, these men are not
at the heck of Gid Welles and Company. The
real Jackson strength ofthe State is not increas-
cd, and were the clcciion of a President to t:iko
place to-morrow, it would so appear. The pros-
pect of selling this State to Mr. Van Burcii is
as unproinising as eve", and no policy which pur-
takes so much of reward and prescription as that
which has been pursued in other states, can ef-
fect lli.

 

A PEEP 13EHIl\'l) THE CURTAIN.-—Tlle Mid-
dletowu Witness, which is conducted a Iitlle too
lioiiorubly for the Regency at I-Iartford, and
whose Editor could not support all their measures
and nominations, has received a hull of coinniu-
nications from these political vicegerants of the
State of Connecticut, through their presses, the
Times and Jcffcrsonian. Such is the fate of
every man who joins the party, and dares to
think for himself-—sucli are its principles. Does
a man doubt the propriety of their measures or
dislike their noininations—he must swallow his
doubts and digest his dislikes, or prescription and
abuse await him. This has been successful else-
where, but will not be here. The sons of Conn.
are not fit subjects for such a despotism. They
will think and act for themselves. The attempt
is now making to destroy Mr. Greene, for the
high-minded and candid expression of his own
opEnSoii, and that of the community in which he
resides, respecting a part of the Jackson nomi-
nations—-but it will not succed. In one of his
rejoindcrs Mr. Greene raises the curtain a little,
and shows how these things are managed at
Hartford.

“Those individuals who claim Elie right to
dicfate terms to the democracy of this
state, are determined to “rule or ruiu”——
and they have already shown themselves
ready to sacrifice the party, its principles,
and success, to purchase for themselves a
name and a notoriety abroad. They have
declared by proclamation that ‘E the l/Vit-
iicss shall be broken down,” and upon this
press and its friends, the vials ofinvective
are to be poured with an unsparing hand.
It is for us to act on the DEFENSIVE"-

dcstroy the freedom of our press, that their
efforts will prove fruitless---it shall live,
AND 11‘ SHALL LIVE rants.” _
