The Novelliste of yesterday evening says, that no dispatch lias arrived from the liberating army in Portugal; that private letters from Lisbon describe the city as plunged in conster nation. The report of Don Pedro's victory at Velonga, over the troops of Miguel, is fully confirmed. Don Pedro continued to occupy Oporto. GERMANY.

The estates of E lectoral Hesse, in which a strong spirit of independence has recently been mani fested, were suddenly dissolved on the 26th, by the Prince Co-Regent. In the sitting of the day before, there was a warm discussion on the law of the press, which has long been claimed by the po pular party. SOUTH AMERICA. Buenos Ayres. The New York Jour nal of Commerce has received Buenos Ayres papers to July 14lh. Encke's comet was seen at Buenos Ayres on the 2d June, from which date to the 8th, it was traversing the constella tion of Fridano. "Its brightness," says a correspondent of the British Packet, "is less than on its previous appearances; not any nucleus can be dislinlinguished, and it can scarcely be seen through a good achromatic telescope of 2 feet, which seems to indicate that it has expe rienced some change in its constitution." It was reported from Chili, that ihe jewels of the Temple of the Sun, (which at the time of the conquest the natives concealed from the Spaniards,) had been lately discovered near the Cerro de Pas co. Their value has been calculated at $180,000,000. Brazil A letter from Rio de Janei ro, dated 1st Aug. says: We regret to say that we have been without a Govern ment since the morning of the 30th ult. The tutor of the young Emperor being suspected of disloyalty, the Minister of Justice recommended to the Chambers to dismiss him from the tutorship. The Chamber of Deputies passed such a vole, but it was rejected in the Senate by a majority of one, upon which all the min isters immediately resigned, and the Re gency being unable to form a new min istry, likewise handed in their resigna tions. The lower Chamber has this morning invited the Regents to resume tnnir ctniinnc i .MC.t ul mure is much uncer tainly as to what will be the result.

This statement was confirmed by another vessel at Rio Grande. Tlie brig was much cut up by being fired into when leaving the bar. Of the rising of the negroes, reported by the vessel which left there July 23, the Boston Transcript says: We have letters from Pernambuco to the 26th July no mention is made of any insurrection. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1S32. (QOn our first pace the reader will find sev eral articles rcsnectinff the supposed practical op eration of Nullification. It will be seen, that some difficultv has also occurred between the civil authorities of Alabama, and the U. States troons. It would indeed look rather squally to see separate acts of the three branches of the Ge neral Government nullijicd simultaneously oy three Slates that is, a mandate of the Supreme Court, by Georgia an act of Congress, by South Carolina and a proclamation of the President, by Alabama. I hese "piping times ot peace," however, afford an excellent opportunity to re medy every defect that may exist in the princi ples or practices of the General and State Gov ernments; and whether most to be desired or dreaded, a general Convention of the States will no doubt soon be compelled to assemble for that purpose. (fJWe learn from a letter from Norfolk, da ted 22d inst. that the Baltimore steam boats are now running: three times a week. The Cholera.

C. on the 10th of September, 1832, being the first dav of the Fall Term of the Superior Court. William R. Norcom, Esq. was called to the Chair, and Thomas E. Pender, ap pointed Secretary. After the objects of the meeting had been explained by the Chairman in an appropriate address it was moved and seconded, that a commit tee of three persons, be appointed to draft and submit certain resolutions expressive of the object of the meeting whereupon Gen.

Resolved, That ANDREW JACK SON has shown himself eminently quali fied to preside over the diversified inte rests of our country and that the present crisis in our political affairs, calls loudly on us to withhold our support from any man whose principles we have reason to suppose even remotely look towards a disunion of the States on the one hand, or an extension of the odious Tariff on the other. 2d. Resolved, That we entertain the highest confidence in the republican prin ciples and political integrity of MARTIN VAN BUREN, that he is the regularly nominated democratic Jackson candidate for the ofiice of Vice President, and that by the election of him the utmost concert of opinion would be secured between the President and Vice President. There fore we will use all honorable means to secure the re-election of Andrew Jack son as President and to effect the elec tion of Martin Van Burcn as Vice Presi dent of the United States and for this purpose 3d; Resolved, That Doct.

A at i-Nullification Meeting. Pursuant to the notice previously given, a numerous meeting was held at the Court House in Hillsborough, on Wednesday, 19th inst. composed principally of the most influential and intelligent citizens from the different parts of the county of Orange, with out distinction as to parties. Hon. Duncan Ca meron was called to the Chair, assisted by Dr. Wm. Montgomery and James Mebane, Esqrs. John W. Norwood, Dr. Thomas J. Faddis, and William J. Bingham were appointed Secretaries. After the meeting had been organized, Judge Nash rose and addressed the Chair for about an hour, in a most eloquent speech, and before resu ming his seat, offered the following resolution: Resolved, That our attachment to the Federal Union remains unshaken; and that we wholly disapprove of, and depre cate the doctrine of Nullification, as un constitutional, and as having a direct ten dency, if reduced to practice, to sever the bonds which now unite us together as one great and powerful nation. The resolution having been read, the Hon. Daniel L. Barringer teol; the floor, and in a for cible and manly speech of considerable length, supported the resolution of Mr. Nash. The Hon Willie P. Mangum followed Mr. Barringer audwith his usual ability addressed the meeting for about thirty minutes. When Mr. Mangum had closed his remarks, the question was put on the passage of the resolution, and carried unani mously with the exception of one voice. The meeting then adjourned till the lllh Oct. next. Mr. Mangum said he had been charged by his enemies, whether through igno rance or malice he knew not, with being a Nullifier; but he spurned the charge from him with indignation his opinion had been formed upon the subject for more than two years, and had since un dergone no change whatever. He view ed it as a rank absurdity, which had made no favorable impression upon the people of North Carolina. As far as he was in formed, they were opposed to it almost to unanimity he had heard some two or three individuals called Nullifiers he knew but one in the whole State. Mr. Mangum tho't much more danger was to be dreaded from a Southern Convention. Union Convention. A Convention of Delegates of the Union party, from the several districts in South Carolina, was held in Columbia on Monday the 10th inst. and was numerously attended. The venerable Col.

A Committee (of one from each District,)- was appointed to consider the propriety of a Southern Convention, and to draft an Address and Resolutions, who appointed a Sub-Committee consisting of Mr. Peltigru, Judge Johnson, and Judge O'Neal, to prepare the Address, &c In the course of the second day's session the Convention wns addressed by Judge Huger, Thos. R. Mitchell, and Judge O'Neal. It is supposed that they will recom mend a Convention ti, fctates, to consider of the best means of guuui.g r u or the Tariff. We hope it may not be such a Convention as Mr. Crawford desired. "ihnfirfit paratory to a separation from the Tariff 5 1 a t e s . i PVSTLast niSllt'8 mail brought us the final proceedings of the Convention, which adjourned on Wednesday last. An address to the People was adopted, (which we intend to publish next week) closing with the following Resolutions- Resolved, That while we deprecate Nullifica tion as founded on principles subversive of ihe Constitution, we, would willingly and cordially unite with our fellow citizens of the Free Trade and State Rights Party of this Stale, on any ground which promises a redress of grievances, without involving a violation of the Constitution of the United States. 2.

Resolved, That we solemnly pledge our selves to adopt, abide by, and pursue such mea sures in relation to our grievances, as the said Convention shall recommend. 4. Resolved, That a committee of nine he ap pointed to correspond with their fellow citizens of the said Slates, and in case of their concur rence in ihe proposed Convention, to give notice of the time and place of holding the same, and fix a day for the election of Delegates from the several districts of this State, and that a majority of the acting members of the Committee be au thorized to supply any vacancy in their number as the same may occur.

R. Poinsett, Judge John S. Richardson, Hon. W. Smith, Mitchel King, Esq. and E. Creeswell, Esq.

His intention to discontinue the Banner was announced several months ago: but we were then flattered with the prospect of a "Monthly Journal of Political Eco nomy, under the auspices of the same able advocate; but he has finally aban doned the design ot publishing such a periodical. . He has been induced to nur- sue this course from the conviction that there does not exist, at the North, "the slightest prospect of any abandonment, for many years to come, of the American System, from any returning sense of jus tice, or any change of opinion as m it expediency or constitutionality;" and the cunuiusion mat any turther attempt, iiiuiuiuru, 10 sustain a vvorK devoted to the principles of political economy, in that quarter, must be futile. Another species of Fraud. We have seen a cake of Tallow, that was nearly one half rancid butter. We should be glad to know who sold it to the merchant, that we might have the opportunity of publishing his name. Turpentine Frauds. One or two bar rels of turpentine were brought to town a few days since, with a billet of wood nailed inside, that nearly took up one half of the barrel.
