LATE FROM ENGLAND. By the liriirsh barque Mary Ca lherine. arrived at Clvirleston from Li verpool, London papers of I lie 12th, nnd Liverpool of the 14th Feb. have been received. The Charleston Cou rier gives the following brief summti-, ry of their contents. ENGLAND. The British Parliament as sembled on t ho Sd of February. The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer has proposed to Par liament to lay a duty of oneipj.ice, which were altogether penny per pound on all raw oflVmsivo on the part of the Cottons imported, with a draw back duty to the same amount on all manufactured Cotton ex ported. In consequence of this proposition, the raw arti cle had advanced 3-8d. in the Liverpool market. The great question of re form was to have been brought forward in Parliament on the iirst of March, by Lord John ltussel, with the unanimous approbation of the Government. Although not a Cabinet Minis ter, he was selected for the task on account of his assiduous ad vocacy of the cause in unfavor able times. iiu:land. It is supposed that the prose cutions against O'Connell and others will be stopped, and Mr. O'Connell talks of proceeding forthwith for London. Bi: LCI I'M. Watters appear to be yet quite unsettled on the continent. The Duke do Nemours, second son of Philip King of the French, had been elected King of Bergium, but the French Government have rejected the oiler, thus throwing back on the Belgian Congress the question which they supposed was set tled. The place was not filled at our late dates. The election of a Sovereign took place in the Belgian Con gress, on the 4th February. There were 191 members present, absolute majority 9G. For the Duke of Nemours 89; Duke of Lcuchtcnburg 07; Archduke Charles 35. None of the candidates having the majority required, a second ballot was made, when of 192 votes, the Duke of Nemours had 97; the Duke of Lcuchtcn burg 74; and Archduke Charles 21. The Duke of Ncrnours hav ing the absolute majority of the votes, the President proclaim ed Louis Charles Philip d'Or- leans, Duke of. Nemours, King of the Belgians. The London Courier of the 12th Fcb'y, publish es, in a sec ond edition, an important com munication from its Brussels correspondent, dated Wednes day night, which states, that a protocol from the Congress of London, dated the 7th ult. had been communicated to the Pro visional Government that eve ning; and that it not only de clared, that the French Govern ment is resolved to reject the offer of the crown of Belgium for the Duke ofNomours, but that it adheres to the protocol of the 20th January, and conse quently disavows the letter of Count Scbastiani. It further states, that, in the event of the Duke of Leuchtcnberg being again proposed and elected, he will not be recognized by any one of the five powers. The same correspondent, in a letter dated Thursday evening, states, that M. Bresson, the French minister, had declined to sign the note sent to the Provisional Government with the above protocol, and that the diploma- tic commission bad refused to lay 'the document before Con gress, -having' returned it to Lord Ponsonby! r OLA Ml. The Polish Diet has decla red the throne of Poland va cant, which shews their deter mination to persevere in their ex-;, lions to throw oft their pre sent yoke. There appears to have been no regular lighting beween the Russians and Poles. A few trilling shirmishos had taken Poles, they having made incur sions into the Russian territory. r RANCH. hnporta n t Ecclesiastical Movements. Letters from Par is, savs the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, received bv the last French packet, state the im portant fact, that a very exten sive defection had taken place in the 'Catholic Church of France.- It is said that a Gal- i lie Church is to be established, independent of Rome, and re nouncing the authority of the Pope; that the organization will take place immediately, and in clude some thousands of priests. Rome, Jan. 22. Two days since an event happened, of which no one knows the cause, but which has greatly disturbed the tranquility of Rome and the Conclave. At 8 o'clock in the evening a bond) shell burst, in the centre of the Palace, where the Cardinals are assem bled. Every one put himself on the alert. The Police and Authorities of the city were im mediately on foot; patrollers scoured the streets, but no trace was discovered of the au thor of -the alarm. SOUTH AMERICA. Mexico. Gen. Guerrero, ex President of Mexico, was cap tured the last of January, tried by a Council of War on the 10th February, found guilty, and shot on the 14th. A letter from Vera Cruz, dated 23th February, received at Balti more, states that he was bought by the present administration of that country for 850,000. The following are given as the par ticulars of his capture: Guerrero was peacefully living in Acapulco, constantly a stronger to the operations of the southern insurgents of the country against the govern ment of liustamcnte. although obli ged to live sheltered among them, that he might not fall into the hands of his personal enemies, by whom he had been declared to be an outlaw. Hut ISustainente and his ministers, Alaman and Fazio, thinking that the destruction of Guerrero alone could cause that of all the democratic part of the nation, formed in January last a secret contract with a Francisco Pi taluga, then in Mexico, captain of the Sardinian brig Colombo, anchored in Acapulco, and a'n agent of the house of Girolamo Rossi, of Genoa. Pita hip was then seen to depart again for Acapulco. On arriving at Chipalcin go he was imprisoned (probably in virtue of a previous plan secretly con certed with Gen. liravo, residing there) as a spy of Guerrero: he was tried, and set at liberty, for want of proofs, lie then proceeded to Aca pulco, to show to Guerrero an official copy of this sentence, as a title lo his confidence and friendship. Guerrero fell into the snare; they became inti mate they gave dinners to each oth er and finally Pitaluga invited Gu errero, together with Primo Tapis, Pila Tavalita, and two other persons, to a dinner on board the Colombo. There they spent p joyful day. The night, approached, coffee was served in the cabin, when Pitaluga went sud denly on deck, shut the door of the cabin, cut the cables, and set sail. The darkness of the night prevented the garrison of ihe fort from perceiv ing ihe treacherous movement of the brig. She left the port in safely, and went and landed the victims at Hua tulco, a small port of the neighboring stale of 0;j.ic3, where every thing was prepared to receive them. It is said that the partisans of Guerrero are determined to unite in favor of Pedraza, Guer rero's former competitor, in op position to the government of Bustamenle. The Mexican Chamber of Representatives, on the 16th of February, granted an annual pension of 3,000 to the widow of Guerrero. Colombia. Captain Lke, ofl the brig oca 1 ym ph who arri ved at New York in 2o days from Carlhagena, informs that a Colombian man-of-war schoo ner arrived on the 18th from Porto Bello, with Com. B vvs o. and lady, passengers, they having- left that place on ac count of a revolt. On the 12th February, Gen. Fernandez, ! took possession of Barranguil-1 la, and Gen. Montillo marched j for that place from Carlhagena ! on the 14th, with a baltallion of 300 men including 50 caval ry. The militia were ordered to be in readiness on the lttth, to march that night to Savan naforgo, a village about 45 miles from Carlhagena, as a disturbance had taken place there. Report says the inhab itants had risen and were in arms, their object being to o verthrow the present govern ment and replace Gen. Mosque ra in the presidential chair. Carlhagena was left with only 150 regular troops and about 200 militia to guard the place. Fvery thing was quiet at Car lhagena, and it was believed the insurrection in the interior would be put down with little difficulty. U-$t Indies. By the British schooner Bridgewater, arrived at Norfolk from Dominique, we learn that intelligence had been received from Martinique, sta ting that the insurrection in that island had been entirely sup pressed, and tranquillity resto red. A great number of the in surgents had been shot, and many others were under trial. TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1831. Presidential. We are exceeding ly gratified to observe, in almost ev ery development of public senti ment, that the Administration parly, notwithstanding the I te attempt to sow- division in its ranks by the Op position and by pretended friends, presents an undivided and extended front in favor" of the re-election of President Jacksonand that the note of exultation, sounded so loudlv in the M anifesto of the Opposition issu ed at the close of the late session of Congress, must inevitably be the pre lude to another discomfiture of their party. As regards the Vice-Presidency, however, there does not appear such an unanimity of sentiment although we doubt not, that in due season an individual will be selected who will receive a majority of the suffrages. The following gentlemen, all profes sed tiiends of the Administration, have been spoken of as candidates for the Vice-Presidency: Wm. II. Crawford, of Georgia. Wm. Smith, of South-Carolina. James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania. Mahlon Dickerson, of New-Jersey. Levi Woodbury, of N. Hampshire. Kdward Livingston, of Louisiana. Richard M. Johnson, of Kentucky. John M'Lean, of Ohio. Public Dcbl.Thc Hon. Samuel 1 . Carson has published an address to the freemen of the 12h Congressional 2V i :v"avif3f district of his State, announcing Him self as a candidate for re-election to Cdiigress, and giving "a brief but comprehensive statement of our fiscal concerns, for the Uvo years of Gene ral Jackson's administration." From the address it appears that the whole amount of the Public Debt, on the 1st of January of the present year, amounted to 639,123,191 GS in this sum, however, is included S7,OOO,000 to the Bank of the United Slates for slock, and is therefore to ha de ductedso that the debt on the 1st of Januarv, 1831, only amounted to 532,132,191 GS. Mr. Carson con tinues: "Thus we see that twenty three millions seven hundred and thirty-eight thousand four hundred and ninety-seven dol lars and eighty-seven cents of the public debt has been paid since the commencement of the present administration; and I am assured by the President that he will move on to its final extinguishment, suffering no circumstance to divert him from the completion of that im- portant object. 1 hat great and good man is again before the American people for re-e lection a circumstance I am proud to have it in my power to announce to my constituents, because I feel confident it will be hailed by them as another evidence of his disinterested patriotism and devotion to the interest of his country, in wdiose service he has done so much. If he were to consult his own wishes I am well assured he would retire at ihe end of his term to the peaceful shades of the Hermitage; but the public voice again calls him, and he obeys. lie lives for his coun try, and his country will sustain him," Halifax, March 31 The lion.
