Latest from Europe. The packet ships Henry IV. from Havre, at New York, ami Lowell, at Boston from Liv erpool, furnish French dates to the 29th of January, and English to the 27th. The hist advices from Liverpool state that the Cotton market was again dull and that prices had declined but sub sequently the market recovered a little. From France and England there is no political news of importance. In Portugal the Queen's party have gained another victory, which promises important results. The news from Spain throws little ad ditional light on the state of that country. Whilst there can be no doubt that the Queen has been compelled to call around her men of the most liberal political opi nions, it would still seem on many points, the partizans of Don Carlos, or friends of absolute power, are in arms in opposition to the government. The Spanish dates confirm the change of ministry in consequence of the conspi racy, against the Queen, and announce the convocation of the Cortes. A Congress is sitting at Vienna of German Stales only, for the purpose uf 'establishing order' that is, of resisting liberalism in Germany. The relations between Russia and the liberal powers of the west of Europe, in reference to Turkey, are not materially varied from the previous accounts. The change is favorable to a continuance of peace, at least for the present. The di plomatic correspondence between the French and Russian ministers on that subject, is a curiosity. France protests with "profound affliction" against the treaty between Russia and Turkey, and intimates, that if it should lead to an ar med intervention in the internal affairs of the Porte, France will be at liberty to go to war. The Russian answer is cool and mystical. The treaty is declared to be "defensive and conservative;" and the French inferences are said to be founded on "incorrect data." The French minis ter is told, that he has no right to inter fere in a treaty between independent States, and the conclusion is that the Emperor will go on in his way as though the French note "had no existence." This is considered by some papers as a peaceful termination to the disputes. It may be but the Frenchman does not ap pear to have achieved any thing by his motion. Canada. The Baltimore American says: The struggle between Mr. Mac kenzie and the Parliament of Upper Ca nada, in respect to his right to take his seat, as member for the county of York, has been renewed in a new shape. We have, in several papers, accounts of the scene which took place on his appear ance in the House, on the 10th ult. On previous occasions, the proper commis sioners refused to administer the oaths of office, but a new commission having been appointed by the Lieutenant Gov! ernor, Sir Johu Colborne, Mr. Macken zie was duly qualified, and with the evi dence of this fact appeared to claim his Tight. The House was crowded with electors to witness his reception. Be fore he reached a seat, he was stopped by the sergeant at arms as an intruder, and after a few minutes, ho made a sec ond attempt and was again, with greater violence, removed. He appealed to the Speaker, who refused to interfere, and continuing his resistance, the sergeant at arms complained of him as in custody, for the refusal to leave the House. A debate ensued which lasted for seven hours with great excitement. Various motions were made to send the refracto ' ry member to jail, to expel him by force, and appoint two men to keep him out of the House. At first there was a rush from the galleries, and a cry far ven. eance," but for the rest of the day there wa3 no disturbance among the hearers. Mr. Mackenzie was refused the liberty of defending himself, and a motion to allow lum to take his seat was lost, by a vote of i) to 12. He protested on behalf 0f his constituents against this violation of nie and their rights The result of tho discussions was that Mr. M. should be admonished by the Speaker, and discharged from custody, which was accordingly done, and here the matter rested at the last accounts. Yesterday we mentioned the troubles in Upper Canada, arising out of the con tests between the Colouial Legislature and Mr. Mackenzie. The mail has since brought us accounts of even greater excitement, in the Parliament of Lower Canada. The House of Assembly on the 15th ult. assumed a very bold stand of hostility against the administration of Governor Aylmer, and against the course of the ministry at home towards the Pro vince. Early in the month, a set of resolutions, nearly one hundred in number, was mov ed and referred. They form a sort of declaration of rights of the people ot Ca nada, and concluded by proposing the expunging from the Journals of the House, of the despatches of Mr. Stanley, the British Colonial Secretary, and the impeaching the Governor General, Lord Aylmer. They were brought op for dis cushion on the 1 5th, and debated all that day and tho next. All substitutes were rejected by overwhelming majorities, and late in the night of the 16th, lift v five of the resolutions were agreed to without opposition. The whole probably passed as reported. The resolutions adopted contain a call for conventions of the peo ple. Tho resultsof this bold attitude, which the House have assumed, must be impor tant to the future relations of the colony with Great Britain. The impeachment is a singular proceeding, especially if, as we believe, there is neither constitutional power to arrest, nor tribunal to try the accused. The vote of censure upon Mr. Stanley's despatches is one of the most significant signs of the temper which stimulates the House. Mr. Stanley has lately taken occasion to warn the Colo nies, solemnly, that Ministers are inflexi bly hostile to all changes, that tend to wards assimilation with the institutions of the United Slates. He tells them that if any interference by the mother country be required to settle their do mestic dissentions.the measures adopted will secure more closely their dependence on Great Britain, and strengthen the in stitutions of monarchy. These are, pro bablv, the offensive doctrines at which the C anadians have taken umbrage, and for which they have struck the despatch es from the Journals. The language of Mr. Stanley is a close parallel to that of the Larl of Hillsborough, Lord Dart mouth, Lord George Germaine, and the other Colonial Secretaries, who laid down the laws of monarchy for the-Ameriean Colonies from 1765 Jo '7G. The Cana dians are too near Massachusetts, not to know something uf the spirit with which the Secretaries were answered. I i , FlilDAY, MARCH u, 1834. -v-n.u.iik itojctiiuj me removal oi the nuhlif. flpnmsil Congressional district. A public meeting of the citizens of Plymouth, was held on the 21st ult. at which resolutions were adopted condemning thai measure, approving the conduct of Senator Mangum, and censuring that of his colleague Senator lirown. Would it not be advisable for old Edgecombe to raise her voice also on the present occasion? (JThe Spring Term of the Superior Court for this county commenced its session in this place on Monday last, Judge Settle presiding. On Tuesday, negro Will, the property of Mr. Jas. S. Hattle, was arraigned for the murder of Mr. Richard Baxter, his overseer, an account of which we published a few weeks since on the prisoners affidavit of Hie absence of a material witness, and of his belief that he could not have an impartial trial at present in consequence of the prevailing excitement against him, his case was continued until the next term, and lie re manded to Nashville jail, it being considered more secure than the one in this place. An unu sually large number of presentments and trials for petty offences, such as assaults, thefts, bling, &c. have been disposed of, resulting in the imposition of several fines and one or two ex hibitions at the whipping post. (J3Thc following Constables qualified at our last County Court: District No. 1. Daniel Knight. 2. .lames H. Armstrong. 3. Henry Dickson. 4. James D. Barnes. 5. Willie Ellis. G. John J. Thomas. 7.

The Register of last Tuesday says: The arguments of Counsel are closed and the Court will probably adjourn in a few days. CONGRESS. Senate. On Monday, the 3d inst. the Senate was almost exclusively engaged in discussing the deposite question? In the House of Representatives, on Friday, 23th ult. Mr. HALL, of N. C. offered a resolution, which the House by a vote of 115 to C9, refused to consider, instructing the committee of VVnvs and Means to inquire into the expediency of reporting a plan, accompanied by a bill, to reduce the revenue to the necessary expenses of the Government. On Monday, 3d inst. the only business transacted, was the reception and refer ence of memorials from various parts of me country on the deranged state of the currency. To avoid repetition we will merely add, that both Houses were almost ex clusively occupied, during the week, on subjects connected with tho deposites. (KfThe U. S. Telegraph states that the fol lowing copy, relating to the unpleasant occur rence between Messrs. Poindexter and Forsyth, was made on the Legislative Journal of the Senate: In Senate, Friday, Feb. 28, 1834. Ordered, That the following be enter ed on the Legislative Journal of the Senate.

C?"Exiract of a letter from Prairie du Chien, Upper Mississippi, Feb. 1: "I wrote to from Mineral Point since which 1 have heard lha: the Sacs and Foxes have killed 1G Wimiehagoes and my friend gossip Whirling Thunder is about to come down upon the Block: Hawk people with 700 warriors at back. He swears he will exterminate Black Hawk's band." N. Y. Amer. CTA most daring attempt was made at highway robbery, in this vicinity, last week, in broad day light. A gentleman from the country, a respectable citizen, came to town for the purpose of getting a $1,000 bill exchanged, and in going a bout to effect his object, he no doubt im prudently exposed his money to some in dividuals who were tempted by the lure to form a conspiracy to rob him. The gentleman slates that he left Raleigh late in the afternoon, and when between two and three miles from town, near Crab tree creek, the sun not having yet gone down, two men, one white, the other colored, rushed from the side of the fence, seized his bridle and demanded his money. He denied that he had any, when the white man struck him severul violent blows across the head with a blud geon which felled him to the ground, where his existence would probably havo been terminated but for the accidental approach of the northern stage, the lum bering of which was heard in the dis tance. It is some relief however, to add, that the villains were disappointed of their booty. Raleigh Reg. 07A letter from Boston, dated 25th ult. in reference to the present stte of trade, says: "We believe that the con sumption of this country will be from 30 to 50,000 bales of Cotton less than lust year; several factories are discontinuing all or a part of their works." An Appalling Disaster. The Phila delphia Herald of the 5th inst. says: Yesterday afternoon the steamboat Wil liam Penn, belonging to the Cilizens Line, plying between this city and Balti more, on her way from New Castle, when nearly opposite the point house, was dis covered to be on lire. Every exertion was made to stop the progress of the flames, which spread with great rapidity from the fire room, and soon communica ted with the fuel. The boat was run ashore between the Point House and tho Nuvy Yard, and the passengers, amount ing to 140 or 150, jumped overboard. The scene presented was one of inex pressible dismay; and, painful to relate, three lives were lost. The Rev. Mitchell Moore and a lady from Lewistown, Delaware, and Col. Porter, of this city, who all jumped over board abaft the vvheel house, where the water was deep, were drowned. Tho passengers all suffered soverely from the nature of the landing, it bein" very soft mud. . J Whilst we mourn over this calamity, we arc cheered by the recollection, that during the whole time, perhaps thirty five years that steamboats have been run ning on the Delaware, this is the first ac cident that has occurred. The boat was burnt to the water's edge, and we regret to learn the loss sustained will be about 870,000. ?A Female styled "The Mysterious Lady,' ha$ attracted great crowds in some of our northern cities, appearing almost to possess the gift of divination. She sits with her back to the person, who writes on a strip of paper, and places it in a cup; upon which she immediately makes the rest of the company acquaint-
