From Europe. By Ihc packet
chips Edward Quesnef, York, &c.
Liverpool papers to the 2Slh June,
have been received at New-York.
The following are the principal items
of intelligence.
ENGLAND.
The British Parliament was
opened on the 21st June, by an
Address from the Kin". The
Reform bill had its first reading
on the 24th, and was to have
been read a second time on the
4th of July.
The Cholera had reached
Hamburgh. In England, and
indeed on all parts of the Con
tinent, the alarm appears gene
ral that the scourge will spread.
POLAND.
The affairs of Poland conti
nue prosperous, but the great
crisis of its fate is fast approach
ing. The main army, under
Schrzyneuki, which has been
since the battle of Ostrolenka
at Praga, has now refreshed
and recruited by its stay, left
its repose,. and upon the 14th
June again taken the field to
act upon the offensive against
the Russians.
The Russian army is said to
be as dispirited as the Poles
are confident and well provided
with all the necessaries of a
campaign. It is even said that
the Russians have already made
overtures for an accommoda
tion, which have been rejected
with scorn.
Field Marshal Diebitsch is
dead. It was given out that he
died of apoplexy, and after
wards of cholera morbus, but
the general belief was that he
had destroyed himself; perhaps
poison is as rational a way of
accounting for his extinction as
any other. The General of In
fantry, Count Toll, instantly as
cumed the command of the ar
my. It will be remembered
that at the date of our last advi
ces, it was announced that Gen.
Pasketvitch had been appointed
to supersede Diebitsch in com
mand. A Paris article says:
"The chagrin caused byhisdis
missal from command, joined
to his excessive indulgence in
the use of intoxicating liquors,
appears to have caused the apo
plexy which destroyed Gen.
Diebitsch. He was a great
cater, and had the deplorable
liabit of drinking daily after
dinner several bowls of punch,
in order, as he said, to promote
digestion, and keep off the cho
lera morbus." He was in per
fect health the day previous to
his death.
BELGIUM.
It was reported that Antwerp
liad been burnt on the 25th of
June.
Despatches from London had
been received in France, which
contradict the report of Prince
Leopold's having formally refu
sed the crown of Belgium.
DENMARK.
The London papers say that
the Kihcr of Denmark h
- W I vj j-
tintarily given a Constitution to
ouujcuis, wnicn was receiv
cd with cratitude and acclama
tion. This wisdom on the part
m ine rung nas, in all probabi
lity, feaved Denmark from such
horrors as are desolating Po
land. PRANCE.

pearances are nanm w..i;t,A

.iD. xl is icpurieo mat Mar
shal Soult is appointed Presi
dent of the French Cabinet in
place of Casimir Perrier, and
that an army is marching for
Belgium. We shall soon have
that important question settled.
It appears by the letters from
Paris given in the London pa
pers, that the affairs of France
may perhaps soon form the
must prominent object of the
public attention. The London
Albion of June 17th, remarks,
that as "France is the first in the
career of revolution, she pro
perly takes precedence of all
her rivals in the race of disor
der. Paris is night after night
the scene of riot, and although
no resistance lias hitherto been
offered to the National Guard,
there is reason, from the regu
lar recurrence of the tumultua
ry meetings, to believe that a
want of consistency and ar
rangement among the mob is
the sole restraint. The Fau
bourg St. Denis has been the
principal place of action al
most every night the mob as
sembles there, destroys proper
ty, and maltreats individuals.
By the time the mischief has
been completed, the National
Guard turns out, and no further
disturbance occurs. These
nightly assemblages augur very I
nine ior me permanency oi ex
isting institutions in France.
It was by many supposed that
a general revolutionary move
ment would take place on the
anniversary of the revolution of
last July."
Gen. Lafayette has address
ed a letter, dated La Grange,
June 13, to the electors of
Mcaux, his constituents, in
which he announces his inten
tion of again becoming a can
didate for their suffrages, lie
insists upon the extension of the
right of suffrage and the aboli
tion of the hereditary peerage.
ALGIERS.
France seems to be silently
giving stability to her conquests
on the coast of Barbarv. When
their contiguity to Europe and
other great local advantages
are considered, it is not impro
bable that this hitherto neglect
ed and desolate tract of coun
try may, under the benign influ
ence of civilization, become the
seat of a large population and
an active commerce.

The San. For several days past
we have had hazy weather, and the
sun faiily "looks blue." The singu
lar appearance of the sun, together
with innumerable reports of strange
sights, dreams, traditions, &c. are the
principal topics of conversation. To
aid our readers in accounting for these
unaccountable matters, we copy the
following from the Charleston Gaz'e:

vite the attention of our readers to an
article on this subject on our last
page, copied from the Raleigh Star....
and also to the following proceeding
of the citizens of Nash county. We
presume that it is unnecessary now to
remind our citizens of the oppressive
nature of theTaiiff, the inequality of
its operation, and the systematic and
untiring efforts of its advocates to
make it "the settled policy of the
country. " They will have a favora
ble opportunity the ensuing week ol
publicly and unitedly expressing their
disapprobation of if, and of joining
witii their lellow sutlerers in a consti
tutional, unexceptionable, and pcrhap
efficient effort to obtain a redress ol
their grievances.

Anti-Tariff Meeting. At a
meeting of sumo of the citizens
of Nash county, held in Nash
ville on the 9th August, 183J,
in order to choose a person or
persons to meet, at Shocco
Springs, others from tins Con
gressional district, (if the other
counties should deem it pro
per,) to choose a delegate to
meet audi other delegates as
may meet at the Anti-Tariff
Convention to be held in Phila
delphia in September next
Gen. Henry Blount was called
to the Chair, and James S. Bat
tle, Esq. appointed Secretary.
After the object of the meet
ing was explained, Dr. John F.
Bellamy, Samuel Arlington,
Esq. William V. Boddie, Esq.
Dr. Isaac Sessums, Bartholo
mew Moore, Esq. and Mr. Josh
ua Watson, were appointed a
committee to draw up a pre
amble and resolution express
ive of the opinion of this mat
ing relative to the present Ta-
rui, etc
The Committee havino rp.ti

motions, 10 establish justice, pro
mote the general ivelfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to them
selves and their children, the present
Constitution ivas formed and adonicd
by our fathers: Their design ,.,. J

for. we believe the object oi all Jree
governments is to secure the present
happiness and if possible to promote
it, and for this purpose our lathers
found it necessary to vest in Congress
certain Dowers, beneficial to all the
States, which could not be efficiently
exercised by each atate.
1. Resolved therefore, as the sense
of this meeting, that the present Ta
riff is injurious both to the agncultu-
rai ana commercial prosperity oi mis
nation, and as such we will use every
constitutional means to modify it in
such a manner as to prevent its op
pressive operation.
2. J hat we highly approve of the
motive of the Anti-Tariff Convention
to be he'd in Philadelphia on the 30lh
September next, and that it is expe
dient for this meeting to appoint a de
legate to meet delegates from the oth
er counties of this Congressional dis
trict, at some convenient place, to se
lect some one or moie fit persons for
the purpose of representing at said
Convention in Philadelphia, the senti
mentsof this district in regard to the
present Tariff.
3. I hat we recommend it to the
other counties of this district, to ap
point similar delegates to meet the
one from this county for the purpose
toresaul.
Which report was unanimous
ly adopted and it was further
moved and adopted, that this
meeting recommend to the de
legates from the different coun
ties, Shocco Springs as a conve
nient place, and the 25th of
August as the time of said
meeting. After w itch. William
W. Boddie, Esq. was chosen
as the delegate to meet at said
Shocco Springs and if imprac
ticable fur him to attend, Gen.
Henry Blount to supply his
place. And the proceedings of
the meeting ordered to be sign
ed by the Chairman and Secre
tary, and published in the Ra
leigh Star, Warrenton Repor
ter, and Oxford Examiner.
And then the meeting adiour-
fned, sine die.

Sir: I have observed in the
Globe, which came to hand by
the last mail, the following pa
ragraph in Mr. Blair's letter of
the 21st of July to Judge Ber-
nen: -when the statement
which I made, predicated upon
voi. Johnson s letter, was im
peached in your second note-, 1
made the application, to the
iiesuiem wnicn you seem to
think I ought now to make.
He immediately put into my
hands the original memoran
dum which he wrote, and which
he read to Messrs. Branch,
mgnam, and yourself, &c."
I cannot believe that Gen.
fciwuouu iiua aumorizea any
person to say that he ever read,
or made known to me, the pa
per or memoradum mentioned.

The President, in his letter to
Mr. Ingham, Judge Berrien,
