By an arrival at this port-, London and
Bordeaux papers have been received to
September 20th.
The army of Don Miguel under General
Bourmont made an attack upon Lisbon
on the 5th of Sept. but without success.——
On the 6th and 7th it was supposed that
Gen. B. was prcpurino' to renew the result;
but so late as the evening of the 7th, no
new attack had been made. The loss of
the Mignelites on tli 5th 's variously repre-
sented froni 300 to 400 tilled and wouiid-
ed. _ _
The great topic of conversation in Lon-
don was the Congress ofthe the three Sove-
reigns of the Holy Alliance in Bohemia.
The torics were anticipating from this Con-
gress a grand conservative movement which
would arrest reform and intimidate its
friends, and the liberals were fearful of some
new crafty attack upon the liberties of Eu-
rope. The Diitcli papers were full of con-
fidenee that their sovereign would yet be
supported by the cabinets of St. Petersbtirgh
and Vienna; and at the latest dates there
was arcport that the support of Holland
against Belgium had actually been resolved
upon bythe IIoly Alliance. .
A letter received in London from Berlin
on the 20th of Sept. announces that the
Prussian government had ordered‘ a new
levy of troops and had contracted, for a
new loan. Holland also, it is said, had
augmented her arriiy,and was evidently ex-
pecting and preparing for war.
The United States’ ship Delaware, of 80
guns, which sailed from New-York on the
I ltli of August,with Mr. Livingston, Envoy
ofthe United States to France, arrived at
Clierbourg on the evening of the 12th ult.
The celebrated I-Iannah More died at her
residence in Clifton, near Bristol,on the 7th
of Septeinbei‘.
The Queen of Portugal arrived at Por-
tugal on the 8th ult. and was received with
the honors due to her rank. She had
been formally recognised, not only by
England, but by France and Sweden.-—
On the 16th she left Portsmouth in the S0l|0
steamer for Lisbon.
It is officially announced that the cholera
has ceased to exist in London.
Two tremendous fires had occurred at
Constantinople within a week of each oth-
er, the first of which destroyed 2500 houses,
and the second 250 houses and 600 shops.
The packet ship Virginia, Capt. Harris,
arrived in Liverpool in 17 days from New-
York, and made the run from land to land
in 14. So pleasant was the weather that
her royals were never once taken in during
tli cpassage. _ _
The health of the King of Spain contin-
ued witliout much material change. His
disease is the gout. ‘
The cholera has made its appearance in
Spain with great malignity, particularlyiii
the towns of Seville and Granada. The in-
telligence ofits having broken out in these
places reached Malriga about Sept. 8th.—
Much alarm existed at the latter place ml
account of its approach, as it was known to
be within 18 leagues of that city.
The Muremberg Correspondent of Au-
gust 3lst, says: “ Three of the Southern
Powers of Germany have received notice
from the Germanic Diet to hold an army in
readiness to pass over the frontier into
S'.vitzerland, in case its existing civil dis-
cords should become dangerous to the
peace of the neighboring states."
POLAND.
Thorn, Aug. 27'.-—-“ The late distiirban-
ces in various parts of Poland have subsi-
ded. Such of the insurgents as have not
made their escape across the frontier have
fallen into the hands of the Russians, who
relieved from their fears, now give them-
selves up to vengeance. More th'-in 4000
persons, the greater part of them belonging
to the most distinguished families, gorge the
prisons. The most inquisitorial measures
are resorted to in order to extort from the
prisoners confessions as to their relations
with the inhabitants, and as to the means by
which the insurrection was excited and up-
held. The Prussian Government vies in
cruelty with the Emperor Nicholas. It is
announced that the Prussian Government
is about to make forced purchases ofestates
to'a great extent, and transfer them to Prus-
sians, in order by degrees to extirpate the
Poles from the province. The prisoners
confined for political oifeiices are treated
with great rigor.
Tremendous Ez];lnsion.——Late New-
Orlcaus papers contain some additional
items of Mexican news. A treiriendous ex-
plosion ofa powder magazine took place at
Puebla, on the 22:] of August, near 2
o’clock, P. M. The magnificent edifice of
the Company (what Company we know
not) had been’ used as an ursenalfor artille-
ry, shops of fabricatioii and other purposes.
The sad catastropl.e is attributed to five
royalists, who had been banished to Acap-
iilco,oii account of another villairiy attempt-
ed on the night of July I8. In 24 hours af-
ter,-about I07 dead bodies of the youth at-
tachcd to the works, have been found a-
mong thc ruins, and tnuch more than that
number were probably among the ruins not
yet dug up or removed. The five conspi-
rators were taken, and are to be examined
before a council on the 27th. They are ac-
ctiscd as accomplices in many other heinous
n.nd'facinorous deeds, with the assassin An-
drade.

‘er. the tw.» armies still retained their positions
vhich they occupied after tlie"affa.’ir of the 5th.
A Paris editor thus comments‘ on the prospects
fthe contending parties.
M. de Bourmont has failediin his first‘at-
uck on Lisbon. He was making disposi-
.ons on the 7t.h for another attempt on the
allowing day. It is fair to suppose that his
';ance of succuss has diniinislied -at Lisbon
s well as at Oporto. All delay is favora-

something like an army. H9 P"-'P“"°dv
as well as he could provisions for his crowds
of undisciplined or beaten soldiers; but in
fifteen days a Portuguese cannot be made it
well drilled soldier. After the check at
Oporto, what M. de Bormount had most
to apprehend was at first, even partial de-
feat ; and it cannot be doubted that a gen-
eral battle without success, had caused dis-
couragement and brought disorder in the
Miguelite ranks, and destroyed, in one day,
the order which the General had endeavor-
ed to introduce in the army. It is not here
the question ofa regular scige,it is ofa bat-
tle on fortifications thrown up in haste.-
M. de Bormount know well enough the
troops he commands, to take the advantage
of their first ardor and lead them to the at-
tack in hope of carrying the city in the out-
set. But the troops once repiIl_-‘N_lu _ll|eY
have to tight another battle with diminished
hopes and courage.
The Brussels correspondent of the Morning
Herald, in a letter dated Sept. 17th, has the fol-
lowing in relation to the Congress in Bohemia.
This afternoon we received some impor-
tant news from the Congress in Bohemia,
although it cannot be considered official,
may yet (with great certainty) be relied on.
“' ‘lie Belgic question is settled, and the
labors of the conferance iire brought to a
close ;” so commenced a letter from a well-
informed person attached to the King of
Prussia, and addressed to a leading and in-
fluential member of the Orange party.—
The writer then goes on to explain in which
way this long-agitated and badly conduc-
ted business has at length terminated. He
states that along and circumstantial note
was addressed by the King of Holland to
the Monarchs, detailing the origin and
progrcss_ of the Belgian rebellion; laying
great stress on the reliance which he placed
on the treaties ofVienna, which, iiidepend-
ent ofguarantying to him the kingdom of
Belgium, were in point offact, treaties of-
fensive and defensive, and as such he had
a just right to expect assistance and protec-
tion from all the interested parties. His
Dutch Majesty, after protesting against
the determination ofa portion ofthe coiifer-
ance assembled in London, to net as arbi-
trators instead of mediators, demands that
the treaties of Vienna be put in force, and
that he be assisted in recovering his lost
kingdom. Previous to the forwarding of
this note to the Congress, a copy was sub-
mitted to the Courts of Austria and Prussia ;
and it is positively asserted that these pow-
ers promise to support the pretentious of
the writer. Supposing my information to
be authentic. and no one here doubts it, it
becomes a matter of serious inquiry as to
the probabilities of a general war, or that
which is more to be dreaded, such a hostile
attitude by the different powerful states as
may keep in suspense for some lengthened
period the settlement of all the questions
which now agitate Europe.

Lu-Jicrous Accident on flee Pctersburglc.
Rail-Road.-—-A friend of ours yesterday
related the following amusing fact :—One
day this week, as the train of cars were pas-
sing down from Petersburgh, the passengers
perceived that their speed began sensibly
to diminish; they supposed the engineer
was letting of steam. At length they came
to a stand still, and much to their astonish-
ment they discovered that the locomotive
had disappeared—but how or where it had
gone,o_r what had become ofit, no one could
for a moment imagine. It was at length,
however, discovered that the locomotive had
some how or other became disengaged from
the train of cars, and had made off like a
streak of lightening without any one's per-
ceiving it. This occurred a few miles from
Belfield, and this self moving machine ran
eight miles without stopping ; the fire at the
end of this distance, dying away, it then
called a halt, and waited for the company.
As may be supposed, the natives were not a
little surpris.-d at the strange appaiition of
this flaming monster rushing over the road
unattended by any liumau being—some
thought it was the Tarifi'—- some nullifica
tion—some said it was one of General
Jackson’s Expresses, and some thought it
was Lucifer himself, in the shape of a steam
cngin, taking a little brush against tiiiie.-—
How it was that the Engineer and Co. had
quitted their charge at the moment, we did
not learn. VVhen be perceived how matters
were, he tore off on foot after the engine,
and coming to a house, he mounted a horse
and went in pursuit. the passengers thus
being left in the lurch, put their shoulders
to the wheel, and by dint 0fCX8l'I.l0ll,g0l the
train up the ascent, at which they had hap-
pened to be when the adventure occurred.
Here a descent commencing,they all got in,
and without horse power or steam, or any
other agent than the all prevading force of
gravitation, they were merrily whirled
along to Belfield-—distance abofit a mile
and ahulf. [N. C. Watchman, Oct. 5.'
English Mistakes on American Sub_j¢;cls.
—\Ve are often surpriscdtat the very errone-
ous notions entertained, even by clever men
with respect to America. In point of fact
our educated gentry have never been iii-
structed in the principle of society, or if
they have been at the Universities or public
schools, they have been designedly instruc-
ted by the Clergy only in the principles
.wliicli are unsound and mischeivous. Our
observations are excited by a liberal and
spi“ited article in The lllctropolitan of this
month, a popular and ‘able magazine, which
was edited by Mr. T. Campbell. In this
-spirited article upon America, there are two
or three material errors. - The author says,
“The A-inerican States mider any form of
gover_iiment,--- note decidedly oppressive,
would have ‘advanced in an equal ratio to
their present prosperity." The absurdity
of‘ this very mischievous position is exposed '
.by history; for, prior to Ai'ri_elrica"n Inde-
‘pendencc, not one Stnte,"utide_r the Eiiglisli
or any other Governindnt, ‘hi‘id"ndv’anced
even one tenth of the ratio that all have
progressed in since’ the Revolution. This
very IflC0nSlSI€Ill"Wfil€f soon coiitriidicts
himtoif, for--he says, -“To assert that: it Re
tribiited to the prosperity of America;
would be absurd.” The author proceeds
to prophecy that the gold mines of ‘Ameri-
ca must accelerate her downfall, and that
the accumulation of great wealth in the
hands ofindividuals must lead to the ruin
ofthe Republic and the establishment of
monarchy. VVe should like to know why
the gold mines ofAmerica should be more
fatal to her liberties than the coal, the cop-
per, or the iron mines ofEngland have been
ruinous of freedom in this country. Nei-
ther mines, commerce, or manufactures,
can lead to any dangerous or unwholesome
discrepancies of wealth in families or a-
mong individuals, where there are no laws
of primogenitiire ; and to suppose theAnier-
icans will ever adopt the cruel, wicked, and
stupid primogenitiire laws which have been
imposed upon England by her corrupt aris-
tocracy, is about as absurd as to suppose
that they wifl not innoculate their children
with the King's evil, or with any of the foul
and loathsome diseases hereditary in the
Royal families of Europe. The author
says, “The Americans are inordinately
fond of their own country,and consider their
form ofGovernment to be perfection. So
do we, and if this be a failing, long may
we continue in the error.” If the author
means by this very equivocal sentence that
we (i. e. the English) consider the English
government to be perfection, he is egre-
giously mistaken; for if we except those
who are crziftily educated in a love ofEng-
lish government, and who directly or indi-
rectly profit by its enormous abiises,thcre are
certainly nine hundred and ninety nine in
every thousand persons who consider the
English government false in principle and
wicked in practice, beyond what it will be
possible for the country much longer to en-
durc.
1lIr. Clay’: Reception at Boston —Allu-
sioii was made yesterday to remarks of Mr.
Clay and of the Chairman of the Young
Men’s Committee of arrangements, at the
Treinont House, after Mr. Clay’s arrival.
The following is believed to be as nearly as
possible, the substance of the address and
answer: After welcoming Mr. Clay to Bos-
ton, in behalf of the young men, the Chair-
man, R. C. VVinthrop, proceeded as follows:
Had you come to us, sir, clothed with the
authority of that office, which it was the fond
wish and earnest effort of your fellow citi-
izeiis here to bestow upon you, you would
have been received with more elaborate cer-
cinonials and a more splendid pageant.
But permit me to doubt, sir, whether the
hearts of the people would beat higher at
your approach than now. Elevated ofiice,
sir, cannot indeed diminish, but it can add
nothing to the respect and gratitude
which your distinguised public services have
been calculated to inspire. The Young
Men of Boston have carefully marked your
course as long as they have been permitted
to be intelligent spectators of human events
—they have traced it back in the history of
the times to the day when you also, were
counted among the young men of the coun-
try——and every where in your brilliant efforts
for the welfare of your fellow citizens at
home, and in your bold and generous policy
toward your fellow men, struggling for free-
dom, abroad--they have found multiplied
sources of national pride, as well as of per-
sonal respect. Sir, I am, on this occasion,
the organ of no political party. I should vi-
olate my duty, did I dwell upon any topic
which might in any way interrupt the liar-
inony of our welcome. But can we live in
the metropolis oftha: portion ofthe country,
which hasbeen one of the great &. successfi I
trial grounds of the system of domestic in-
dustry, and forget who was the author of
that system '3 The noise ofthe water-fall and
the hum of the spindle are almost audible
where we stand, sir, and we cannot but re-
member who gave the earliest effective impe-
tus to their motion. \Velcome, sir to scenes
of prosperity, which you have done so much
to promote. \Velcome to the respect and
friendship of free, intelligent and grateful
people.
Mr Clay rcplied,——That he begged the
Young Men of Boston to believe, that he
was truly grateful for this mark of their re-
spectand friendship. That he begged them
also to believe, th it thisjouriiey had no po-
litical relation whatever, past, present, or to
come. That on his former visit to Boston
many years ago, he had experienced much
hospitality, and that he could not but ex-
pect on visitingit again, to meet with some-
thing of the same reception. But that he
had hoped to have passed along privately,
and mingled in the society of Boston, sim-
ply as their fellow citizen. But, says be,
since I crossed the mountains, my lib-
erty has been taken away from me. I
have been taken into custody, made cap-
tive of, but placed witlial in such delight-
ful bondage, that I could find no strength,
and no desire to break away from it. He
proceeded to say that it was a matter of
pleasure and pride to him that on almost all
great public questions, he had acted in liar-
mony with what he believed to be the views
of the people of Boston. But that aside
from politics there were associations con-
nected with our city, historical, revolutiona-
ry, and local, which could not but awaken
strong interest in the mind of a visitcr. Af-
ter alluding to the latter point, in his well
known felicitous manner, he concluded by
expressing his sincere gratitude for the
kindness and cordiality with which the
Young Men had received him, and took
each of the Committee, in succession, by
the hands [Boston Courier, Oct.‘ 23

A PROCIJAMATIONo
The summer is now past; the harvest is
now ended : The labors of the year and
the year itself are fast drawing to a close.
At this season, it has been the custom,
from the earliest period of our history,
for the people of the state "simultaneously
to assemble, in their respective places
of worship, devoutly and publicly to ac-
knowledge their reliance oii a superin-
tending Providence ;——to give thanks for
the many blessings they enjoy; and to
implore their continuance :
I therefore, in accordance with this
custom, identified with our earliest and
most cherished recollection, do appoint.
fl‘/iursday, the 28 clay of November next,
to be observed as a day of Tlzanlcsgiving,
Praise, and Prayer to God. And I do
hereby invite all the people of this State,
with their pastors, on that day to assemble
in their usual places of worship, and render
their homage of Thanksgiving and Praise
to God, that he has cast our lot in a land of
civil and religious libcrt ' ;-—Tliat we are
permitted to seek His favor and render
Him our homage, in the way we lielieve
most acceptable to Him ;——'l‘hat IIe has
continued to our State and Nation His nu-
merous blessings ;—That we are permitted
to enjoy domestic peace, and are undisturb-
ed by foreign enemies ;—Tliat we have been
blest with an unusual measure of health ;
and that while desolating sickness has been
abroad in the earth, it has not invaded our
borders ;-—Tliat he has prospered the labors
of the husbandman and crowned the year
with an abundance of all things necessary
for our subsistence and comfort ;—That He
smiles on the labors of our artizans, and on
the efforts to provide ourselves with conven-
iences and embelishments of life ;—'I‘hat
our ships are permitted to traverse the ocean
transporting the surplus of our own pro-
ductions, and bringing back the produce of
other clinics, and the far distant regions of
the earth ;-That He is spreading the light
of knowledge in the world, and breaking
the rod of the oppressor ;-—-and that He has
vouchsafed to us, as a people and as indi-
viduals, countless other blessings, spiritual
and temporal.
And also to acknowledge our wayward-
ness and aberration from the path of
duty, and offer up our fervent snpplications
that He would enlighten our minds and
guide our footsteps ;that He would enable
us to live in conformity to His will, and
fulfil the object of our creation ; that, he
would guide and prosper us as a Nation,
and hereafter as heretofore, give us a hap-
py issue from all disasters.
I invite all, on that day to abstain from
einploynients inconsistent with the spirit and
temper suited to the occasion. Let us, in
sincerity and truth, present the spectacle
of a whole people bowing with liitmble rev-
erencc to an Almighty Father, acknowledg-
ing our dependence, and seeking His favor
and direction. In the circles which may
be assembled, although called to re-
count judgnients, let mercies be remember-
ed; and in the enjoyments of the bounties
of Providence, let every excess be avoided.
Given under my hand at New-Haven,

dred and tliirty-tliree, and of the Inde-
pendence ofthe United States the fifty-

Steamboat New England.—The following let-
ter is from the individual who was acting as En-
gineer of the boat at the time of the explosion.
He asks only that he may not be judged till the
facts are ascertained. He is represented to us
by very sufiicient authority, as trustworthy and
competent.
To the Editor ofthe .z9merz'cnn :
Siit—-—I had intended to have delayed ma-
king any remarks on the unfortunate ex-
plosion of the boilers of the New England,
until a survey could be had by competent
Engineers, who should decide from the ap-
pearance of the flucs whether any want of
water was apparent. I waited two days at
Essex, in l- pes of getting up the boilers,
that a survey might be had at once, and left
there only at the urgent and repeated re-
quest ofthe Captain. '
The statement of Mr Champion is incor-
rect where he states the steam to have been
18 inches in the river. It was not above 10
inches at the time of the accident, nor could
more be carried advantageously in the river,
in consequence of the boat slieering in shal-
low water. The order from the Pilot was
merely “to shut her offa little,” which is
frequently done, and was obeyed at the
time.
My object in writing you, is to request
that the public will suspend their opinion
with regard to the causes of the explosion,
until a survey and report can be made, upon
actual examination ofthe wreck ofthe boil-
ers,—whieli I shall insist upon, for the pro-
tection of my character. ALEX. MARSHALL.

not far from fifty thousand every year, and
yet the demand is still unsupplied.

HE NRY CL AY.
\Ve have the following portion of the re-
port of the committee appointed to accoin-
pany Mr. Clay from New York to Rliode
Island.
The Committee left New York at 4 o'..
clock on Friday, 18th inst. on board the
splendid ship President, Com. Bunker,
amid the hnzzas of the multitude which
crowded the pier heads and vessels, and
ext-liangcd liuzzas also with the crowd on
board a steamboat just leaving for Albany
—tlie scene was animating and imposing.
Our own vessel, beautifully decorated with
flags, proceeded on her course slowly, to
allow Mr. Clay :1 better view ofthe harbor -.-
and shipping, he did not leave the deck till
it became too dark to distinguish objects
on shore. VVe then retired to the apart-
ments below which were very tastefully ar-
ranged for the exclusive use of himself and
family, and all the passengers partook of
the entertainment with us, so abundantly
provided for the occasion. Atll o’clock
that night we met the steam-sliip Franklin
on her way to New York, belonging to the
same company, and we exchanged with her
a magiiificent display of fireworks, the ef-
fect of which at that hour on the broad
Sound, was imposing and grand. The
weather continued propictoiis and we doub-
led Point Judith about 6 o'clock the next
morning, without encountering any sea-
motion, and shortly after entered the liar-
bor of Newport. Here at the landing a
large crowd were assembled, mid we were
received with cheers and greetings. ‘A coin-
mittee cuirie on board, consisting of the fol- /
lowing gentlemen ofNewport; Hon. Asher " 4
Robbins, Senator of Rliode Island, Lt. Gov.
Collins, R. K. Randolph, Esq. and N. H.
Granston; and a most pressing invitation
was conveyed to Mr. Clay, urging his stop-
ping at Newport; but this he was obliged‘
to decline.
\Ve also received on board at Newport,
a sub-cornmittee from Providence, consis-
ting of Hon. N. R. Knight, Senator of
Rhode Island, Judge Pitman, U. S. Dis-
trict Court, and Col. Wm. Blodgct.
This committee had come down from
Providence, charged with the duty of ac-
cznnpanying Mr. Clay to that city. After
the most welcome salutations, we proceed-
ed with bo_th committees to Providence’
Our_app'roacli to Providence was announ-
ced by a discliarge of cannon from the
heights of that." “town, and the decorated
shipping, the crowded hill tops and wliarves,
all gave indication of a,_real yankee wel-
come. As soon asiwelrcached Providence
we were waited on by tile Mayor of the
City, the Hon. S. W’. Brigham, and J. L.
Tillingliast, Esq. the Chairman of ilie
Providence Committee. The latter gentle-
man on beingintroduced to Mr. Clay made
him a short and pertinent address.
As soon as the crowd would permit, car-
riages were drawn up, in which Mrs. Clay
with the Mayor proceeded first, and Mr.
Clay with the Chairman of the Providence
Committee followed next, accompanied by
a vast concourse of carriages and persons on
horseback,and proceeded to the apartments
arranged for their illustrious visiters ; the air
resounded with reiterated bursts of applause ,
and animating greetings.
The New York Committee on taking,
leave of Mr. Clay, were charged by him in
the most grateful manner to make known
his heartfelt thankfulness to our fellow citi-
zens, for their personal kindness towards‘-
him snd hisfamily, so entirely unexpected
by him. A. ' ,
The pleasing duty’ of the NewYork Com-
mittee being now ended,=tlie greater portion
of them returned in the steamship Boston, :
Capt Comstock, and were safely lai‘ndediin;"
New York at 6 next morning, thus per-
froming a distance of 450 miles without fa-
tigiic or accident of any kind, in the short
space of 36 hours. ‘
The gentlemen composing the New York _
Committee would not do justice to their
feelings without conveying thus publicly _
their sincere thanks for the personal exer-
tions of Commodore Bunker and his effi- ,
cieiit assistant, Capt. Macy, of the steam. .
ship President, on board of which splendid
vessel no expense and care seemed to have; _,
been spared in rendering the passage ,.to'__."

ship Boston, who most kindly and gratu-
itously tendered his best fare homeward;'~
