ENGLAND.
The question of renewing the charter

in the Commons without further delay.
There were various rumors in circulation
on ih; Slstof May, respecting ihe terms

The plan of Lord Howick for abolish
ing slavery in the British West Indies,
has been brought before the public. It
proposes to pas two acts of Parliament,
short in their clauses and simple in iheir
-provisions, leaving the details of their ex
ecu ion to the Colonial Legislatures or
the Colonial Councils, while, at the sain"
lime, models of bills, or' "ordinances,"
embracing these details, shall be trans
inmed by the Government to the colo
tiiv's for their guidance or for their adop
tion. Of the two act 10 he passed by the
L'gislature of the mother country, the
first is entitled "n ant for the extinction
of slavery throughout the British domin
ions;" and ihe second, "An act for 'the
reliijf of the owners of slaves to be man
umitted ii the British colonics by virtue
of ihe preceding act." The former de
clares that after the 1st of January, in a
year which is not specified, slavery shall
be abolished and denounced as unlawful
throughout every part of his Majesty's
dominions. This decree is to be entire

The rumored peace between the Porte
and the Pacha of Egypt has taken place.
The satrap trf Egypt is now a more po
tent monarch than the Head of the Faith
ful, who grants him his pardon and prom
ises him his clemency. He possesses
not only the dominions whose resources
have enabled him to extend his power,
but the whole of Crete, which had been
before granted him, and the Holy Land,
together with the country and the ports
of the Levant, from the limits of Asia
Minor to the mouth of the Nile. He has
thus obtained sea ports for his navy, a
great accession of contiguous territory
and population necessary for his perma
nent securiiy, and a national boundary ea
sily defended against foreign aggression.
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 23d of
April, mentions that the insurgents in
Bosnia had assumed a formidable atti
tude, and were about to invade Albania,
in which case the Sultan, though he has
.
made terms with one rebellious subject,!
may find himself embarrassed by revolt
nearer to his capital.

To the Sheriffs of North Carolina.
At a meeting held in the city of Raleigh,
during the last session of our General As
sembly, it was resolved to address the
people of this State on the subject of re
vising the Constitution and to request the
Sheriffs of the several counties to open a
poll for taking the votes of the people
"for or against a change, of the Constitu
tion, at the separate election to be held
in August 1833, for members of Assem
bly, unci report the result to his excellen
cy the Governor. In part compliance
with this resolution the committee selec-
address to the freemen of North Caroli
na" in which the subject is fully, ably and
candidly discussed. It is gratifying aljj
to perceive, that the conductors of ijlc
public press, have in nil parts of the
State opened their columns to tlii$ sui,.
ject, and lent their aid to circulate infor
mation, on this important question, So
that few among us will have any difficulty
in acting understanding on it.
The undersigned as chairman of tliis
meeting and in their behalf, now most re
spectfully requests the Sheriffs of tirks
State to lend their assistance in procur
ing an expression of the public will, in the
manner, indicated by the said resolution.
True it is, that no law, has armed this re
quest, with the force of a mandate; hut
he has too much confidence in tin; im(J.
ligence, republican spirit, and courtesy of
the Sheriffs of North Carolina to believe
they can slight a request of this sort,
where it has emanated from so respecta
ble a body of their fellow citizens, h jj
a request that you should lend your offi
cial aid to embody public opinion; and
you cannot fairly or decorously refuse it,
fori apprehend you all will admit, that,
an acquiescence, can result, in no possi
ble injury, unless indeed it be an evil, to
permit the people of a free Slate to ex
press their sentiments about public offi
cers. Permit me to add, that an easy
and uniform plan for notifying the peo
ple, that these polls will be opened,
would be, that each Sheriff should adver
tise the fact in the newspapers (where a
paper is published in his district) as well
as by notices put up at public phce? in
his country. In these notices howeverit
is desired that the people should be dis
tinctly informed that their opinion is ask
ed, 'for a change of the Constitution"
or "against a change of the Constitu
tion." It is believed, that if a majority
be in favor of a change, the Legislature
may be safely entrusted, with providing
the plans, of procuring the changes which
arc; necessary, subject, however to iheul
timate determination of xhcpcojjle. The
various plans which have been suggested
are, entirely consistent with the practice
and principles of the American Statr.s,
have been candidly stated and discussed
in the address before referred to, and
th eir consideration does not properly be
long to this communication.
This method of addressing the Sher
iffs of the State, has been adopted in pre
ference to a letter by mail to each one,
because the communication is more cer
tain to inert their attention, and because
it is much less liable to misrepresentation.
The meeting before referred 10, had no
hidden projects, and 1 have no conceal
ment on their behalf.
The undersigned also embraces this
opport unity of inviting the aid of the
county committees, (appointed last win
ter) in distributing the addresses, and
other information, on this subject, among
the people, and also in procuring a vote
in their respective counties "for or a
gainst a change of the Constitution'3
The liberality already manifested by the
conductors of the press, induces him to
hope, that they may find it agreeable and
convenient, lo give circulation lo this
communication, by inserting it, for two or
three weeks in some conspicuous part of
their journals.
Respectfully,
THOS. G. POLK, CICm.
