A letter from Stutgardt says : " We
)iavc also declared war against the Grand
Turk ; we have had a meeting, we have
elected a committee, we subscribe consid
erable sums, and we mean to send a sa
cred battalion to assist the Creeks in be
coming free, Wc have already dispatch
ed one of our volunteers to Greece to ap
ply lo the Greek Senate to know whether
they are most desirous of money or men."
The latest letter we have seen from
Constantinople is dated July 25. It says :
For some days we had reckoned on the
preservation of tranquillity; to-day the
f jrnier apprehensions revive ; a crowd of
Franks and other Christians seek refuge
in the palace of France and in those of
the embassies. The fear of fresh exces
ses agitates all those unhappy persons to
whom we cannot refuse an asylum, and
the food necessary for their support.
One cannot foresee what would happen if
the rupture with Russia should take
place."
Great indignation has been excited in
the Ionian islands by the conduct of the
British merchants, in furnishing provis
ions to the Turks in the fortresses of the
.Morea, which, but for this aid, would long
since have been reduced.
A party of Turks recently entered the
Austrian territory in pursuit of some
Greeks who had taken refuge there ; but
the Austrian troops having fired upon
them, they made a preciptatc retreat
without returning the fire or committing
any further hostile act.
Ali Pacha, who appears to have many
more lives than a cat, has again entered
Joannina. An army opposed to him, con
sisting of 30,000 Turks and 20,000 Alba
nians and others, has disappeared. So
say the latest accounts. The only fault
is, that the story as to the Turkish army
is rather too large.
A new German Journal, established at
Frankfort, states, under the date of Con
stantinople, July 25th, that an insurrec
tion has broken out in Arabia, the intelli
gence of which has excited the most live
ly sensation in the capital of the Ottoman
empire. A man, it reports, who is un
ceasingly repeating passages from the
Koran, and who affirms that he is descen
ded in a direct line from Mahomet, has
gained over to his cause numerous parti
sans. The same Journal says, that anoth
er insurrection had broken out in Egypt.
NAPLES.
The king of Naples, by a royal decree,
has re-established the order of the Jesuits
in the kingdom of Naples. The order
had previously been restored to Sicily,
and intrusted with the education of the

TUESDAY, JVW. 6, 1821.
The Wilmington Recorder, of the 20th
ultimo, has resumed his remarks on the
Convention question, and has occupied
more than a column of his paper with
what we suppose he intends as a reply to
statements made in our own. It is a re
ply, truly ; and just such a one as wc anti
cipated ; a reply equally worthy of the ed
itor and the cause which he advocates
For strength of argument, logical reason
ing, purity of style, and " dignity" of sen
timent, it has no superiors, and but one
equal. It is a production, in whatever
light we view it, beyond compare ; and
throws far into the shade, and on their
Lacks too, u the gigantic geniuses of the
mountains ;" and buries them, as Jupiter
did the giants of old, who had the audacity
to dispute his pre-eminence, beneath a
world of rubbish. Smarting as we do,
from the bruises we have received in this
terrible conflict, and feeling sensibly our
present humiliation, yet we cannot refrain
from paying the above humble tribute to
the talents, and skill, and power, of our
arch-adversary, the modern Hercules,
who, dressed in his lion's skin, and armed
Auth his massy club, either looks down,
or knocks down, all opposition.
The editor of the Recorder has a won
derful knack of answering arguments and
disproving statements, without the labor
of confuting them, or exhibiting counter
ones ; for instance : " The statements
made by the editors of the Carolinian are
too state to excite interest, and have been
luo often refuted in the Legislature, to
row require even a contradiction." Thus
do minds of a superior order remove ob
stacles, which to ordinary minds would
b.e deemed almost insuperable, with as
much case as an elephant would break
through a spider's web thrown across his
path ; and thus easily are even " gigantic
geniuses" laid prostrate by those who
dwell in the upper regions of the intellec
tual world. j
The Recorder will not " stoop to notice
the bilingsgatc that fills the columns of
the Carolinian most nobly resolved !
The lion should not rouse from his lair, nor
i
the eagle descend from his dizzy height,
without some exalted purpose in view ;
something worthy their dignity and capa
ble of conferring honor on their prowess.
The editor of the Recorder will accept
the appointment of Doorkecjicr ; and .vliy ?
Because it is "on the threshold he wishes to
take his stand 1" Who can doubt it ? No
one, we presume, ever dreamt of his hol
ding any other than the most conspicuous
station, or of his occupying any other place
than the van, in whatever conflict he might
be engaged. It was expected, that where
dangers flew the thickest, there would be
found the editor of the Recorder; and
that, Don Quixote like, with the editor of
the Compiler for his squire, he would rout
the Conventionists, alias " western dema
gogues," with as much ease as the Knight
of La Mancha did the flock of sheep.
Rut we surely did not expect, that the
trusty spear with which he would accom
plish all this, would be a " file of the Car
olinian 1" little did we anticipate such an
event. Little did we think, when we were
penning those " fulsome arguments," that
they were destined to perform such won
ders : that they would effect what all the
sound reasoning, good sense, and splendid
talents of the Cape Fear Recorder could
never do. Rut so it is ! And it is one of
those inscrutable events in the history of
the world, which laugh to scorn the inves
tigations of the profoundest intellect.
Wc admire the effect of well chosen
imiles or comparisons, as well as the art
which isneccssarv to introduce them hap
pily into a composition : they form a
great beauty in writing. For this reason
we extract the following just comparison
from the Recorder, which so aptly illus
trates the subject of a Convention, and
the claims of the West. Our readers
cannot but be sensible how palpably it
hits! here it is: "A beggar comes into
mv house, informs me that Providence
has bestowed more of the goods of this
world on me than him, he solicits a part
of my possession, or a participation there
of with me, and threatens, that if I re
fuse, that he will take it by force ; that
have it he will, " peaceably if he can, for
cibly if he must." This, western " beg
gars," is exactly your ense : thus shame
less is your conduct.
We have often repeated," says the
Recorder, and wc can assure our readers
it is a fact that he has done so, "that if
a Convention is ever called in this state, it
mt hn tl.rn.ml, th IntPrfrrrnm of the
Legislature and if reiterated assertions
be taken for arguments, the editor has es
tablished the truth of his position beyond
the possibility of a doubt. According to
him, the Legislature is omnipotent, and
is placed above the control of the people
who created it. The people, in fact, have
no power ; the " compact" was not entered
into with them, but with the " counties
the counties, therefore, have to decide on
the expediency or inexpediency of a Con
vention ; and by a perversion of logic, as
well as of common sense, the Recorder
makes out the voice of the counties to be
the voice of the teoile I Hence the fico
file arc opposed to a Convention ; and all
this noise about it is but the ebullition of
ambitious " demagogues" and disappoin
ted oflicc seekers.
The same sort of argument is used
against any change in the Senate, that is,
in the mode of electing the Senators.
The interest of the Hast, and the interest
of the State, which the public will al
ways recollect mean one and the same
thing, require that " each county should
have an equal voice in that body :" what
our readers are to understand by an " equal
voice" is, that Currituck, Carteret, and
Columbus, should have as much weight
in the Senate as O range, Rowan and Meek
lenburg. This, to be sure, may be an
equal representation of the counties ; but
to call it an equal representation of the
fieofile, is downright nonsense.
The often repeated charge against the
people of the West, of preferring the in
terest of adjoining states to that of our
own, deserves no reply, because it is not
true. Farmers will always seek the best
markets ; and merchants will purchase
their goods where they can obtain them
on the best terms. Can they be blamed
for this ? Would the proprietor of the
Cape Fear Recorder go up to Fayctteville
to purchase his goods, when he could get
them 25 per cent, cheaper in New-York ?
Partaking as little of the character of an
" Adventurer" as he docs, and as patriotic
as he would have us believe him to be,
our word for it, he would not, in his " so
ber senses," take this method of showing
his patriotism, and his devotedness to the
interest of his own state. When the
" commercial metropolis" of North-Carolina
shall hold out equal inducements,
with other places, to the people of the
West, then they will resort thither ; and
the Recorder cannot ask them to do so
before.
In conclusion, we beg the Recorder to
u keep cool as we have reason to ap
prehend that his great excitement has al
ready reached his "brain, and affected its
tenement;" in which case, any farther ex
citement might be attended with fatal con
sequences. The " interest of the JZast,"
and consequently of the State, render it
imperative on the editor to take care of
himself.

The notorious Cobbett and a respectable
"Quaker merchant," Mr. Cropper, of
Liverpool, are at issue upon the subject of
slavery in the West and East Indies. Mr.
Cropper is one of those who advocate the
encouragement of the Kast India trade,
in which lie is opposed by Cobbett, by
horn he is, as usual, overwhelmed with
a torrent of abuse. We give the follow
ing observations to show the shameless
manner in which this political Proteus ad
vances the most palpable falsehoods :
"Upon mv word, friend Cropper, yours is a
I strange sort cf a wish j that cf seeing rv: cJ !iti'n
of slavery, 5nd that of seeing the mbnber of slives
increase at the same time ! But your broad
brimmed beaver disguised this from you, while
you were looking so sharply about for a contrast
to support your calumny on the West India
planters. Dismissing this foolerv, therefore, let
us come to the facts. You say that a frif nd has
told you, that the planters in America told him,
that (good kind souls!) worked their slaves
less hard than formerly. New I assert without
any qualification, that, compared with the West
India treatment of slaves that of America is
brutal in the extreme ; and that things are done
there, with regard to slaves, and cruelties com
mitted on slaves, that would make even a Scotch
negro driver, in the West Indies, shudder with
horror. Nay, that the free negroes in the United
Slates are treated in a way, and that with perfect
impunity, too, which would cause th. perpetrator
to he brought home from the West Indies and
hanged at the Old Uailey amidst the applause ot"
the multitude."
Verily, friend Cobbett, (wc use one of
his favorite expressions,) thou liest '
What will he say when he learns the fact,
that after a warm debate in one of the most
distinguished assemblies in the Union,
their advocates have obtained an ascen
dency as to give them rights and privile
ges gratis, for which a white citizen has
