Mind your ps and q's. The Philadelphia U. S. Gazette of Thursday says, "We learn that Mr. Simpson, editor of the Columbian Observer, on Tues day received a severe flagella tion, at the hands of Moses Thomas, auctioneer, in Chesnut street." Mr. Simpson says there was only a brush. New-Market Races.

North-Carotin a Money. A late Savannah (Geo.) paper states that "A meeting of the merchants, auctioneers, grocers, retailers of dry-goods, and oth ers interested, will be held this day, at twelve o'clock, at the Exchange, for the purpose of taking measures to restrict the circulation of North-Carolina money, and to fix a rate of dis count, at which it will be recei ved in payment." Edenton, Oct. 12. Negro oim, belonging to a Mr. Parker, was last Week tried at Gates Su perior Court, for the murder of Mr. E. Cross, of that County, found guilty, and sentenced to be executed on 12th of Novem ber next. La Fayette. The Citizens of Wilmington in this State, have held a meeting and invited Jien. La Fayette to visit them. They have deputed Robert II. Cowan, Esq. to wait upon the General at Yorktown, and to tender him their cordial invita tion, and ardent wish, to wel come to their homes, their coun ty's generous Benefactor. General Barton. We pub lished a paragraph from a Hart ford paper, stating that this offi cer of the Revolution was lan guishing in a prison in Vermont, for debts which poverty preven ted his cancelling. It is now said, that Gen. Barton has no just claim upon the government or the state tnai ne nas all a long had the means of extrica ting himself from his confine ment if he had been so disposed that he held a lucrative oflicc in the Custom House, until his detention in Vermont, and that his son occupies the same place that his family are in easy circumstances, and that his ab sence in Vermont is a volunta ry act on his part. Murder. A young man, 20 years of age, named John F. Van Patten, was committed to Schenectady prison on monday last, charged with the murder of the wife of John J. Schermer- horn, of Rotterdam. It does not appear what had induced the fellow to commit this crime, but he is stated to have mado con fession before the Justices that he had loaded his gun for the purpose, walked to the house, opened the door, took deliber ate aim, fired and retreated with out ascertaining whether he had effected his object or not. New- York E. Post. Foreign. Lor -'on dates to the 14th ult. have been received at New-York. The only arti- cle of interest which has reached us, is an account of the rapid de- I'linp. nf flip, hp.ilfh nf thr Tinr of France, which appears to be Jetin of the attending physicians: Sunday Sept. 12 9 o'clock in the evening. 3 "The King's fever has been increasing the whole of this day in London, are to the 23d of August. The ministeral papers are not very well pleased with the recention which our coun- trymcn have given to La Fay ette. The Courier proposes to make a few selections from them to show its readers how little essential difference there is be tween republican and monarch al honors, and adds the follow ing culling and beautiful re marks. "The same flattery; the same pomp; the same ceremony; the same parade; but more ser vility, and infinitely more of burlesque self-importance. That thing miscalled equality, engenders all sorts of idle pre tentions; for as there is no real equality either in nature or so ciety, while the assumption of it is so grateful to weak minds, we constantly sec, where every man tninKS nimsen equal to those about him, the most pre posterous efforts to sustain the delusion with plausible appear ance. Hence it is that your de mocrats, and your levellers, of all descriptions, are so profuse of mutual civilities; hence they so be-praisc and so be-daub each other, and hence, though differ ing, perhaps, upon all other sub jects, they are so cordially unan imous upon that of their own superlative merits. General La Fayette, for example, says, whatever he may think, that the Americans are the most ex alted people in the world; and the Americans cannot say less in return, whatever they may think too, that there never was such a man as La Fayette. And so tKnir rrn an l.'nnninT 1 1" n! i nnrin. ienances all the while, as if the rest of the world were not look ing on with scorn and derision at their fooleries." The New Times, not to be out-done in civilities of this sort, speaks upon the subject thus: "Nothing but desperation could have made Gen. La Fayette sa crifice the pleasures of La belle France, to dwell among the Dubbikiness of New England." South America. An expose for 1S24 had been presented to the Congress of Columbia, by the Secretary of State for the Interior, in which he details at great length the measures that had hcen taken to insure the in dependence of the Republic, now settled on the firmest basis, and gives a most flattering pic ture of its present condition and resources. On the 5th of July last, the Intendant of Magdalena, Gen. Soublette received an official communication from Gen. Ca rine, Intendant of Panama: sta ting that by the last advices from Bolivar, he was then at the head of 12,000 Infantry, and 1500 Cavalry; the Spanish Gen. Olin- ats, having passed over to him witn 2,300 men, 1,200 were in Panama ready to embark,and a division of 3,000 had sailed from Valparaiso to join him, making his aggregate force of 1 7,700 men. Callao was at the same time rigidly blockaded. Bolivar was at Truxillo, and the Spanish General Canterac, in Lima, a distance of 45 leagues. Two expeditions, the one from Porto Cabcllo, and the other from Carthagena, have since proceeded to Panama with a force of 4000 men. Canterac has only 9000, and should he be foolish enough to risk an action, the friends of liberty may anti cipate the result but as he is in possession of all Upper Peru, he may continue a desultory guer rilla warfare for some time. American Surgery. For the first time in America, the oper ation of taking off the thigh at the hip joint, was on Thursday week performed at the New York Hospital by Valentine Molt, the professor of Surgery in the Collcgcof Physicians and Surgeons. The patient, says the American was a boy of about twelve years of age, laboring under a case of necrosis, or dc cay of the thigh bone. For Presidential Electors. LEGISLATIVE TICKET.
