JTn vera! successive arrivals at New from Liverpool and Havre, we -yEuropean accounts to the 24th A : antl though no new events of impor ance are announced, the intelligence is yet interesting. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, though there had been no change in pri ces, yet the demand on the 22nd had become less animated. In the Mouse of Commons on the 19th, Lojd Althorp gave notice of a proposed reduction of the du ty on Cotton imported into England sub stituting for the ad valorem, a fixed im post of five sixteenths of n penny per lb (one half the existing rate.) ENGLAND. The recess of Parliament having ex pired, the Spyakcr of the Mouse of Com mons resumed his seat at 12 o'clock on Monday the 15th of April. A great number of petitions were presented, most of which were for the abolition or slavery. The evening Session was prin cipally occupied in committee of supply upon the navy estimates. Rumors were still in circulation of an intended change of the Ministry; but it would bo difficult, on this side of the water, to assign any probable reason for such a belief. The Times of the 15th, save, we are glad to hear that Ministers will immedi ately bring forward an ample measure of reform of the Church of England. This will be readily taken by the nation as a set off against their late faults, botli of omission and commission. IRELAND. The condition of unhappy Ireland seems to be becoming more deplorable every day. The coercion Bill has al ready been put in force in the city and j county of Kilkenny, and the depreda tions of the deluded party known by the name of Whitefeet, are becoming more frequent and alarming, h is most shock ing perversion of common sense which leads these misguided men to the conclu sion that their condition will be amended by acts that would disgrace barbarians. So far from this being the case, the hearts of those who now deeply comrnis- : erate their lot and deplore the existence ;bf the tyranny and oppression which have driven them to such a state of reckless ness and despair, will be steeled against them forever. Who can sympathise with a murderer? on whom can the mid night incendiary call for assistance in the day of his necessity Ireland is far more powerful than we were when we first bared our bosoms in defence of liberty; her sons are known to be brave, to be as fearless of danger as those of any other nation; why, then, in the name of com mon sense do they not make one united effort to free themselves from slavery If they go on much longer in their pres ent disgraceful course, glutting their re venge by private assassinations and un manlydestruction of individual nrnnpnv they will prove themselves unworthy of uuuer iaie. PRANCE. It would appear, from the foreign articles which we subjoin, that a pop ular commotion had taken place and more was apprehended in Paris, and that the Polish refugees in France hnd nri. denly repaired to the frontiers of Germa ny, in order to take advantage of the in surrections which were concerted or ex pected. We have not yet received the l ana journals due to us. They will en able us, probably to furnish more precise information. The news from Constan tinople is not as late as that which was brought to Baltimore from Smyrna. Paris, 16th ApriL.The absence of all disorder to day has been enough to cause an advance in the public stocks as soon as Change opened. The government retracting the excessive measures it had announced, has somewhat reduced the display of strength it promised. How ever, most of the posts have been doub led and the principal points guarded. 1 he barriers particularly have been rein- whoTi W-0U 08 t,,e Carel; and the - hole Benson not employed on an ac- i tive service has been strictly 'Confined to its barracks. "Around the Chamber of Deputies all is tranquil, small groups collected here and there, but a useless display offeree did not in those smaTTcollections of peo ple find a real revolt. GERMANY. The seeds of revolution are fast com ing to maturity in Germany. On the 3d of April a very serious riot took place at Frankfort, " under the very walls of the Chamber of the Diet of the Confedera tion," in which iive soldiers were killed, and twenty wounded. The loss on the side of the rioters is not stated. The immediate intention seems to have been to liberate all the prisoners who were confined for nolitical offences. 1 his was accomplished, but without any good effect, as all those who had been thus liberated returned to their confinement on the following day. The annexed let ter, written on the 4th, contains a detail of the proceedings. "Last night, Robert le Viable was per formed. In coming out of the theatre, at half past nine, a vast crowd proceeded through the street called Zeil, to the guard house of the constable, occupied by thirty soldiers of the line, and as ma t v mi nv notice ollicers. 1 li is crowd was headed by young men in the constume of sludents, wearing white scarfs. On their arrival before the guard house, one of the young men, stepping out of the ranks, harangued the people, who had collected in great numbers. In this speech, he expatiated on the'oppression of which Germany was the victim. The people received the speech with unani mous applause: In an instant, gnus, pis tols, and satires were distributed, the guard house was attacked and the pris oners confined for political offences set at liberty. The same crowd, having been considerably augmented, then pro ceeded along the Zcil to the principal guard house, attacked it amidst shouts of 'Liberty or Death!' dispersed the six ty soldiers who occupied the posts, and set at liberty the prisoners, among whom was T. Mohr, who had been confined two years on suspicion of having taken a share in former disturbances. Whilst blood was flowing on both sides, near the guard house, the drums were beating throughout the town, to call together the national guards. Part of the citizens came in lime to prevent the capture of the arsenal. "The troops of the line, amounting to 500 men, came up in haste, and succeed ed in retaking the chief guard house. 200 soldiers also defended the approach to the glacis. At eleven o'clock, the tu mult was at its height. The people per ambulated the streets, uttering shouts of fury: patrols of calvary, infantry, and pompiers Were seen in all directions; the gates of the town were shut, and even this morning, at ten o'clock, no one was allowed to come into the town. The conflict was very desperate. One stu dent received nineteen wounds by a bay onet. A prisoner, attempting to make his escape, was mortally wounded. Ma ny spectators, in returning home, were either killed or wounded. It is positive ly asserted, that several thousand peas ants were on the point of entering Frank fort. It is also reported that disturban ces have taken place at llanau, and that firearms have been made use of. At half past eleven, one of the burgomasters of b rankfort rode through the different parts of the city in his carriage, and inspected the posts. He then proceeded, at the head of 50 soldiers of the line and 50 National Guards, to the lower called the Pfarrthurm, where they were sounding the tocsin. If is remarkable that not one of the individuals who were tolling the bell was arrested." "Darmstardt, April 7th. If all cir cumstances arc considered, it is evident that a grand conspiracy was on foot and takin energetic measuers to save the country from the most trtgnuui evus. u is to be hoped that pruueuue uuu ulce ration will every where prevail; circum stances imperiously require it. 400 Poles left Besancon and Salims on the 7th and 8th, passed the frontiers on the 9th, afternoon, and entered the territory of the Canton of Berne. It is said they intended to go with the armies they might find in Switzerland, into Southern Germany, to assist the people in a revolution. TORTUGAL. The latest advices from Portugal are of the 6th of April. Don Pedro's affairs seem to have taken another favourable turn. He has complied with the de mands of Admiral Sartorius, who conse nucntlv remains in his service, with a force still superior to the fleet of Miguel. On the night of the 27th of March about thirty sail of vessels landed farces and supplies at Oporto, and the army ot re dro, now 22,000 strong, were in high spirits, and the young Queen's cause was represented as highly prosperous. TURKEY. According to letters from Alexandria, of March 13, received by the way of Tri ste, it appears undoubted that Mehemetl SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1833. Ali has rejected the conditions of peace offered by Admiral Rouissin, and guarau-. teed by the latter at Constantinople. It is said that the condition that he should deliver up his vessels to the Ottoman Porte has particularly irritated the Pacha, and it is added that he caused a second squadron to sail immediately, with orders to Ibrahim ngain to advance. SOUTH AMERICA. Brazil. Letters from Para inform us of another insurrection in that unfortu nate and misgoverned country: "On the Gth April, all business ceased; every mercantile house, as well as every dwelling house, was shut up, and many of the Portuguese and their families em barked on board the shipping in port. Things remained in a dreadful state of suspense until the 18th, when an open rupture took place. The President caused arms to be distributed amongst the mob, mostly blacks and mulattoes, and 'Kill the Portuguese resounded though every street in Para. "A scene of horrid slaughter ensued. Men were hunted like wild beasts, and shot down with less regret. For two days the city presented a scene too shocking to behold too barbarously bru tal to be believed of a Christian people. When they had sacrificed all the Portu guese that were to be found, carts, were sent around the city, und the dead bod ies conveyed away and tumbled promis cuously into a common grave." Reform in Canada By the last Colonial (York, U. C. ) Advocate, it ap pears that the Attorney and Solicitor Generals of the Crown for the Province of Upper Canada, have been removed by order of Viscount Goderich, Colonial Minister of the British Government. According to the Advocate, the Crown officers were removed, first, for making seditious speeches at a public meeting in which they endeavored to excite hostile feelings between the subjects of his Ma jesty of the two provinces; for voting for the repeated expulsions of Mr. McKen- zie, contrary to the expressed opinion of Ills Majesty s Cabinet, of its unconstitu tionality; and for treating with contempt His Majesty's despatch of the 8th No vember last. The gentlemen removed, besides holding the offices under the crown, were members of the provincial parliament, and leaders of the Tory par ty in U. Canada, and as such leaders opposed the policy of the present Cabi net of Great Britain. The measure is received by the Whigs with every appear ance of joy, and by 'the Tories with loud murmurs ot dissatisfaction. JVe are requested to withdraw the name of Phesanton Sugg, from the list of candidates for the General Assembly. Q30n Tuesday and Wednesday last, ihe young ladies of the Tarboro Female Academy were examined, and attracted a large and bril liant assemblage of people from this and the sur rounding counties. The accuracy and prompt ness which distinguished the young ladies in their examination, bore high 'testimony of their own proficiency and the ability and success of their preceptress. It is highly creditable to our community to see such interest manifested in the promotion of education; and it was highly grati fying on this occasion to see such entire satisfac tion expressed by so large an audience. On Wednesday evening, the young ladies at tached to the musical department performed their various parts, forming a delightful concert. The senior class, consisting of Harriet Eliz abeth Joyner, of Halifax, Martha C. Clark, of Halifax, Mary Sumner Clark, of Tarboro', and Esther T. Bond and Martha IV. Bond, of Bertie, having been previously examined on all the studies of the Academy, and acquitted them selves with great credit, were adjudged worthy of the highest honors of the Institution, and were permitted to graduate. And, on Thursday morning, after an address from the Trustees complimenting the examina tion of the students; and more particularly the senior class on the successful termination of their academic labors, a beautiful and affectionate val edictory address, on behalf of their preceptress and fellow students, was delivered by Miss Ma ry Hunter of Enfield; to which Miss Joyner, on behalf of the graduates, replied in an address equally touching and affectionate. A ring, em blematic of the occasion, was presented to each of the graduates. During the interesting cere mony, the emotions which prevailed through a large auditory evinced how deep a participation was felt for the young ladies, whose academic la bors had closed with such signal credit to themselves.

Unfortunately for the conspira tors, the people took no part in all this.

Edward Livingston, late of Louisiana, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Court of His Majesty, the King of the French.

We are happy to. announce the safe return of the Secretary of the Navy to his family and friends at the seat of Government. We learn from a gentleman, who accompa nied him on his whole journey to our Southern Naval Stations, that the Secre tary was absent fifty two days, of which nineteen were spent fn stops at different cities and in the examination of the va rious public works, connected with the Navy and on maritime defences at the South, leaving only 33 days for travel ling. It is a strong illustration of the conveniencies and rapidity of communis cation through a large portion of the new and unsettled parts of our Union, that during those 33 days, he'travelled a dis tance in all, exceeding 4,200 miles be ing equal to 1-6 of the circumference of the earth, and at an average rate of about 130 miles per day.
