-tt; NORTH CAROLINA SENTINEL, AND NEWBERN COMMERCIAL, AGRICULTURAL AND LlTERRYTELLIGECER -5 1 I- THE JSEPi'TIlVlEL. NEWBERN: FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1831. Protestant Episcopal Convention , j ! Of the Diocese of North Carolina. x We arc indebted to the kindness of a correspondent f ' fori the following notice of the proceedings ofthe Con ' -vention.of the Protestant Episcopal Church, held at j Raleigh duririgithepiast week 1 This Ecclesiastical body assembled in Raleigh on Thursday,' the . 19th inst. and'continued its Sessions until Monday last. The deliberations were marked, Ly the greatest harmony, and the several propositions made for its consideration were receded and acted upon in the spirit of fraternal, peace and christian love. . . The important subject bf the Episcopate, va- , cant by the death of the late lamented Bishop Ra- ; venscroft, was, according to ri previous resolution of the Convention of MDCCCXX. to be acted upon; and it must be a source of gratification to the friends of Religion, to know tliat it was met with surprising unanimity by the clerical arid; lay members. The nomination on the part of the clergy was for the Rev. L. sjFVES? ol'St. Luke's Parish, New YorkCity, and " the ballot was unanimous, with the exception of one blank vQte. The laity confirmed the domination, by a precisely similar vote. . Since our last, the arrivals of the Cliarlemagne and Canada, frOm Liverpool, have put us in possession of European news to the 16th; of April. At that time, t he position of France and Austria remained as at our former advices, and an evident inclination on the part of the! French Ministers to that temporizing policy -Which! has frequently proved the curse of nations, inclines us to fear that the wishes of the People are again to be sacrificed to the narrow views of a plau sible diplomacy. The most prominent item furnished by thej Charlemagne, is that ofthe adherence of Vol - hvnia and Lithuania to the cause of Poland. It is stated that a Provisional Government has been or ganizpd in Volhynia. If this ; decisive step has been taken, the responsibility thereby incurred, is too weighty to admit of receding, i and its consequences cannoj be other than favourable to the cause they espousei This government alone, has a population ' 'of nearly two millions ; and when we consider that Wilna, Grodno and Minsk, which compose Lithua ania,iare' more than three times as extensive, we rejoice at the very efficient aid; which this defection H from the. Autocrat places on the side of the suffering Poles!! If Turkey proceed against Russia, as is con fidently, reported, the governments of Kiev, Podolia, f ' Vtc. between Volhynia and tlie Black Sea, will no .' doubt gladly join the league and strike in the cause f liberty, and the Dnieper and Duna will then be the limits of Russian aggression. This would be a consummation well worth contending for, and such a H one say must ultimately arrive if France will only prevent the interposition of Austria in that quarter. Wc. are at a loss to understand the cause' of this hesi tation bn the part of theFrencli. government : the interests of the- nation, as well as the wishes of the people, demand a-course decidedly opposite to that now Mursued. It cannot be, that she dreads to oppose! a' power which she has been long accus to lead at her chariot wheels. England tomed recognizes the right of France to declare war at ainst Austria, if she does not immediately withdraw her forces from the Romagna,. and judging from all ex perience, that Kings who Once obtain a footing in a conquered country, seldom relinquish it but to a supe rior power, we entertain a hopfe that the temerity of Austria will arouse the dormant energies of Phi lippe,! arid bring upon herself such chastisement as . shall subserve the cause of freedom; There has been great Rejoicing in Scotland in consequence of the Reform Bill's having passed the second reading. . The people generally are so well pleased with the exertions of the government to obtain its final pas "sage, that t he greatest tranquillity prevails throughout all parts of that count ry, and in England. We are isorry we cannot say as much for Ireland. The ex- (tracts, which we publish from the Journals of that unnappy country, present a distressing picture of t he sufferings of the people. From the N. Y. Evening Post of May 18. Lat anil important from Europe. t By the packet ship Canada, Capt. Maey, from Liverpool, we have received Liverpool papers to the loth ot April, and London sive jThey contain the intelligence of repeated suc pi tne rolish armies n era I net 'iht Ttii cesses of the which seem to be fully confirmed by a variety of con temporaneous accounts. The good fortune of Gen. Diebitsch, which, m the campaign against the Turks, raised him to such an envied reputation, appears to have deserted him in the outset of a warfare against a more enlightened, more hardy and more united na tion, resolved to make a desperate struggle for their libertief. In the. ecclesiastical States of Italy the re volt seems to have been wholly quelled by the aid of disturbances have taken place in Turkey, 01 e les in their late engagements with the Russian Torces, is of so decisive anlture to mSpire their friends in France with strong hopS oj.theuisuccess. Skryznecki, the Polish Command- ,er-in-Chief, is pronounced to have shown himself in th : actum nf the 3Tst rC tvt ""f?") Til.

Hepassed The Vistula on a bridge of boats from Warsaw to Praga,jon the night ofthe 30th March, andbdbre tay break carried the entrenchments which defend T the camp of Gen. Geismar. The defeated troops rallied at Milosna, about three miles further on but were again attacked by the Poles and again routed I before midday. Again at 5 o'clock in the afternoon the Poles encountered the 2d line of the Russian en campments, formed of the forces under General fto- zn? and the remainder of Geismar's They were drawn up m another entrenched position at Dembe wielki, dbout seven leagues from Warsaw. The bat ueiasted till' ten o'clock in the evening, and the ionsn general being reinforced, routed with great daughter the enemy, who retreated in complete dis- V "V11 auuiiaance oi arms, munitions, and number of wounded on ihe field of battle. "It will PhSlat fef1 month" says the Messager des wf Ithe Russian army to recover itself, t0 collecf xtf different corps and to resume operations As to Gen. Skryznecki, he will no longer be con strained -to act unon the defensive in the centre of Warsaw and Praera. He may form his line upon Livicia, at fifteen or twenty leagues in advance of the capital. ! In short, he may take tne onensive an-r ring a month." ! 1 , There is a report that the. Poles, subsequently to this action, gained a new arid important victory over the Russians at Grosho that Geismar's corps was entirely destroyed, and himself a prisoner, severely wounded-that six thousand prisonereiatid 26 pieces of cannon had been taken in this engagementthat Diebitsch, hemmed on all sides by;the Polish army and peasantry, was reduced to a critical position." The following is the last intelligence -from the provinces of Lithuania and Volhynia. "By Accounts received at London from Memel on the 13th of April, to the 3d, information of an im portant nature was obtained, j The letters mention that at Polarigert, about four miles from Memel, an action had taken place between the insurgents and I the Russian troops, in which the latter were defeated. Polangen was in flames. In Volhynia there were not less than 18,000 organized insurgents, who had risen in opposition to the Russian power. A British ! courier, who was on his road to St. Peteraburgh, had i thought it prudent to stop at Polangen;! It was said that a Russian courier, with despatches to tlie army in Poland, had been seized by the insurgents, his despatches open ed, and then he, had his head cut off. The regular medium of communication had been suspended, artd the rising against the government of Russia throughout Volhynia, Cpurlarid,! and Lithua nia, was expected to become general. The insur gents were to intercept all communications from Dantzic, from whence the Russian army in Poland received mostof their supplies." . IRELAND. The distress in the counties of Mayo and Donegal is represented as being of the most frightful nature. At Sligo, 3,000 persons "were picking up the- black se-weed from the strand to subsist upon. Cattle that had did were eaten by the peasantry. To the horrors of famine were added the ravages of disease, artd typhus and the cholera morbus were fast doing their work of death. In Clare, the distress is aggra vated by thev desperate outrages of the inhabitants. Fields have been turned up in the open day fences broken down cattle turned out I in the roads to wan der without keepers, and sheep, in this their yeaning season, suffered to perish for want of tending. The peasantry, and some, it is said, above them in point of station, have adopted a system of terror, which prevent cowherds and shepherds from acting. No cattle can be impounded, and no writs executed. TheXuarter sessions have been postponed for want of magistrates. These acts at length led to the mur der of the five police officers. In the county of Gal way similar scenes have been enacted, though there has been no bloodshed. The house of ir John Burke, member of Parliament, and a Catholic, has been attacked and plundered in the broad day, and several houses in his immediate vicinity have shared the same fate. It is to be remarked, that the pea santry make no distinction whatever between Pro testants and Catholics. The condition of these peo plej as a Liverpool paper observes, " is a rising of poverty against property ; the hungry against the welfcfed ; the needy and desperate against the rich and the grasping. It is a dissolution, in a word, of the ties of society, and an abrogation, pro tanto, of all laws." , Extract of a letter, dated Loughrea, April 5. " This part of the country is in a state of open re bellion : and this day at 2 o'clock a party of upwards of 5000 insurgents, many of them well armed, pro ceeded to the house of Sir J. Burke, the member for the county, where they smashed all the doors and windows, and took thirteen stand of arms, with a quantity of ammunition. They; next proceeded to a Mr. Whyte's, a farmer of great respectability in the neighborhood, and turned up all his pasture land. They then proceeded to the house of Captain Brun skell, a magistrate of the county, broke all the gates on his farm, attacked his house and demolished the doors, windows &c. Having gained admission, they took his arms, and, not content with this, they . de ! stroyed all the furniture in the house. They fired into the room where his family were, and severely wounded his sort and daughter. Capt. Bunskell was absent at the time, attending the assizes at Gal way. The county was left wholly at the mercy of the insur gents, not a single policeman being in the neighbor hood, it being the custom during tne assizes to con gregate the police forces in the county town. As to soldiers, there is not a single military station within miles of us; and, unless the Government grant us some protection, the insurgents will become complete masters of the country." The London Morning Chronicle of the 15th says, We have no fresh accounts of Outrages, and active means are being employed to restore order and to mi tigate distresses." On the 11th of April tlje British Parliament met according to adjournment. Some petitions were pre sented against parts- of the reform bill. Among others was one handed in by Gen. Gasccyne from the corporation of Liverpool, and another of a more ge neral nature from die merchants, bankers and others of the same place. These petitions, Gen. Gascoyne said, did not object to a moderate reform j but com plained of the sweeping disfranchisement which would be effected by the measure and the change it would make hi the proportion of representation by taking so large a Iiumber of members from England and bestowing them 6n Scotland and Ireland. Mr. O'Connell said that it would greatly increase the dis satisfaction in Ireland to know that such language, withjespect to that country, had been uttered within the walls of Parliament. The Union was art unffair and unjust measure towards Ireland, in the small number of representatives allowed that islands It aught, he said, to have 100 representatives. Lord John Russell in reply to some question from Lord En combe, said, that there were four data on which mi nisters meant to proceed in ascertaining the number of inhabitants in different boroughs, with a view to the appointment of representation. "1. The original population returns. 2. The. cor rected population returns. 3. Memorials laid before the Secretary of State by persons well known, com plaining of inaccuracy in the existing returns ; and 4. The petitions presented to the house on his subject. Carefully looking to all the documents, ministers hoped that they should make an efficient correction, with refereiice to the places contained in the sche dule. With regard to the essential principles ofthe bill, hourly, and daily proofs were ofiered, that it was eminently calculated to promote tne UDenyynappmess and prosperity of the country. (Cheers.) The reform bill was also ! discussed on the 14th April, in the House of Lords. Earl Grey repeated the declaration of the Ministry,, to stand or fall by the measure; but said, that while he would not compro mise the principle of .the bill, he did not mean to say that it 5gas perfect, or that it might not perhaps be advantegeously modified. The principle which the vaiymei : xiua in view in Dringing iiiorwa.ru, wtis io effect such improvements in the representation of the people, as the well-being ofthe country demanded to adopt it to the institutions, wants, property, and intelligence ol the country. He was prepared to consent to any alteration ofthe provisions which would not interfere with this great object. The pri vilege possessed by certain boroughs of sending mem bers to Parliam ent, was held by ministers to be mcmpatible with a pure system of representation, and they could not therefore consent to any proposal lor preserving to them that privilege.

The enemy, forced to quit very advantageous positions, which were guarded and t'orttfied since the 19th of February, retreated to Mi lo6na, where it attempted to make a stand, but was com pelled io yield under the fire of our infantry, which crossed it from both sidles. As the enemy was returning from to wards"Minsk, hje received fresh reinforcements ; he then made many attempts to maintain good positions, which the ground presented to him ; but all resistance on his part proved useless.! Our troops pressed him rigorously, and he did not stop 'till at Dembewielkic, where he joined the corps of General Rosen, which occupied there a military fortified position. It was then five o'clock in the evening when the resistance had become obstinate. The combat lasted till ten ojciock at night. Our artillery occupied the position of he centre, our Tirailleurs fired from both sides, the fire wjas lively and well sustained, but after a contest of some jhours the enemy was routed, his positions abandoned to our troops, and he fled with precipitation. His loss must hatve been very considerable it is estimated at 2,000 killed, land as many wounded: Many officers have fallen, among others the Colonel Commandant of the VVilna Regiment. We have made 6,000 prisoners, for whole battalions were forced to lay down their arms, and we are every instant hearing, that during the present day, additional (prisoners are hourly bringing in to head quarters. " We have taken twelve pieces of cannon, and a great many wagons olf ammunition, and a good deal of arms. The regiments of faucheurs (scithe men) having deraan ded arms, we hve assigned to them those left by the enemy ori the field of battle j they went to seek them and are returning armed with muskets. The combat having lasted till 10 o'clock at night, and the army being fatigued after more thanjtwenty hours' hard marching'and fighting, it was impossible to pursue the enemy. " Nevertheless, the effects of this combat promise, us immense results!; for the Commander in Chief, conforma bly to the plan which he had so happily conceived, pro poses to attach the dispersed cantonments of Marshal Diebitsch, and to separate him from the line of his rein forcements. Wle hope that this bold military operation," so well and ably combined, will lead to important result! and assure a coin plete victory to the noble defenders of liberty and national independence." The followlngj is the letter ofthe Generalissimo, written from the camp qf Dembewielke, the 31st of jVlarch, at 10 o'clock at night Dembewielke is four miles (German') from Warsaw, and one from Minsk. I " To the National Government ' Before I inform you of the important events of this day, I must premise, that, as the army has fought and marched during jthe whole day, it is impossible to collect all the particular, reports, ao as to Trender a full account of the affair Forced to postpone 4his duty to a more leisure moment, :l hasten to commuiiicate to the govern ment the general result. -. . ' This day the; advanced guard of the national army precipitated itself upon the coipsof Gdn'. Geismar, which occupied a strong position at Wawer. After a combat of two hours, this corps was beaten and pursued upon the road to Minsk. lEvery where has the enemy, aided by fresli reinforcements, which he continually, received, wish ed to profit by the positions which this road so often pre sented to him ; hps efforts only drew upon him additional losses. Finally jthe whole corps of Gen. Rosen united at Pembewielki, endeavored to stop us ; but the battle which we fought there, ended in the entire defeat of the enemy, and the carrying ot all ti 13 positions. vaiiiig iJiOM"V O' glW I J Ul( A t'USII HI 1119, I II TT enemy has suffered a considerable loss. , More than 5,000 or 6,000 of his mf n have been killed and wounded, as far as we can judge it this moment.

This victory s the more advantageous to the Polish arms, inasmuch ais it has not been bought on our side by any very considerable loss. This js attributable to the surprize ofthe ioxlden attack which we made an attack which we followed up throughout the day with the great est vigor. Many! of the enemy's battalions were cut to pieces on the fielci of battle; others were made prisoners in a body.

INSURRECTION IN THE OTTOMAN' EMPIRE. The German papers furnish intelligence of an insur rection in the Ottoman empire, which, if true, cannot fail to have importantjcor.sequences. Such an occurrenee-is the more to be regretted at the present moment, on ac count ofthe Poles as it .wifl relieve the Emperor Nicholas from .all apprehension on the side of Turkey. FRANCE. On Monday, April 11th, the Chamber of Peers brought to a conclusion thje trial (par contuma.ee.) of the Barons d'Haussez, Capelje, and de Montbel, the ex-Ministers who have escaped from France. The sentence was as follows. -The Court " " Declares the Barons d'Haussez, Capelle, and de Mon thel, guilty of the Crime of treason ; " Condemns thp said Barons d'Haussez, Capelle, and de Monthel, to perpetual imprisonment ; " Decrees that tihey shall be deprived of civil rights, in conformity with tlbe 28th and 29th articles of the Penal Code ; " Declared them also degraded from their titles and orders ; ' Condemns them jointly and generally to. defray the costs of the proceedings." PARIS, April 12. "The Government," says the National, " have just re ceived despatches ifrom Marshal Maison, our Ambassador at Vienna, statingjthat the Cabinet of Austria, after ha ving received the news of the capture of Ancona, and. the defeat of the insurgents, still they persisted in sending their troops upon Rome, in order to occupy the rst of the states of the Cburch, leaving the evacuation of those provinces to future negotiations." ' j ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OF POLIGNAC. The Paris. Tribuine contains the following : " M. de Polignac has just made an attempt to escape from the fortress of Harn. For the last few days, the person who was in the habit of taking his dinner to him, not finding bim in his room, waited a short time, and during the de lay, heard a noiseln the chimney. He looked up and saw a man in the aperture; the Governor was informed of the fact, and instantly repaired to the prisoner's cham ber ; he wasmadesto come down frop his hiding place. In order to prevent another attempt bf the same nature, the Governor sent (Tor a mason, and directed him to place two irons across the chimney." ? GEN. BERNARD One of his objects fn going to France, and one olf the first duties which he performed on reaching it, was to visit his aged father and'family, residing in his natiive town of Dote, in Franche Comte. Of that visit, the Paris " National" f the 23d March, makes the following mention : Theywrite to us from Dote the arrival in our town of our countryman, the brave General Bernard, of the Engineers, (who has come to visit his family after an absence of 15 years,) has been the occasion of a) patriotic celebration. The National Guard, the Sappers, the Firemen, the Artillery, with a band of music, marched spontaneously to meet and greet this worthy citizen' New York. It is ascertained that the amount of Duties paid during the first week of the present month, at the Iort of New York, exceeded half a million of dollars. The reflections suggested by this evidence, of oqr increasing commercial prosperi ty, are appropriately expressed in the following ar ticle taken from the Courier and Enquirer- v; " The Commercial prosperity of this Port continues increasing. The amount of duties secured afthe Cu&-' torn House in thej month of January was about four teen hundred thousand dollars, being $600,000 more than the amount secured in January the precedin? jv" ' uic in at mi January oi tne" present year until the 1st of May, nearly eirht millions nf WW have been secured, ajnd the bond and J cash duties of last week amount to j $t2,uuu. We have reason to feel proud at this prosperous aspect of bur Commerce in this Portj as it enables us with other collecting dis tricts, to swell the sqrplus after laying aside the an nual sinking fund for the payment of the National debt the entire expenses of Government, and ap propriations by Congress beyond Jive millions of the Treasury Estimate of the current year; Our coun try was nver more prosperous; manufactures have no reason to complain the importer is satisfied with his share of profits, our agricultural products find a ready sale- new ports are open to us-riew markets present a field for enterprize. There is nothing to una prospect oi national prospeniy dui our own chyiaions arid dissatisfactions the dissatisfaction of the outs against tlie inns and the restless desire for change." ; ' The Editors have omitted to include ! that "bill of abominations,?' the Tariff-compared with which, all other sources ofscontent, are mere trifles. Political excitements occasionedby party contentions for place, may exist .without injury to the people, or danger to the repubhek: they may even contribute to the permanency of our Institutions. But1 the excite ment produced by the unequal operation of unjust laws, enacted for the special benefit of an inconsidera ble portion of the people, has quite a contrary tendency, and should be sedulously guarded against by those! whose duty it is to administer the Government accor ding to the principles ofthe Constitution. Town Watch. We understand that our new Commissioners have recommenced the Town Watch on the old plan. We did not expect this : and we are sorry that its total inefficiency had not long ago convinced them that this unfair system is very far from answering the purpose for which it was institu ted. . If a Watch be at all necessary, We require one which shall, for a just compensation, perform the du- ties'of the station, and be amenable to the laws of the town for the neglect of those duties. The mode now pursued, is little else than a succession of parties of pleasure ; a stroll through the pleasant parts of the town, supper at eleven, and to bed at twelve ; would be nearly the history of their proceedings. We speak from experience, for we have the honour to be num bered amongtliese guardians ofthe night. This non performance of duty, however, is not our only reason for objecting to this useless arrangement. We com plain of its injustice. It is inconsistent with reason to subject the man who has no property to guard, to tlie same duties and responsibility that they are sub jected to whose buildings and improvements are to be found in every quarter of -the town.; Men whose health is precarious, and whose daily labour is the only support of their families, ought not to be liable to the effects of this partial regulation. We observe in the Raleigh-Star a-long communi cation on the subject of schools. We lament, with the writer, the many dbstacles tliat oppose the pro gress of a large portion of the youth of our State in the acquisition of scholastiek knowledge; We fear, however, that tlie plan lie proposes of having but one teacher to instruct several schools, in tlie less populous districts, would not, by any means;, be an improve ment. A principal reason for thisopinion is, that we do not believe teachers of respectable acquirements could be prevailed on to adopt this itinerant mode of instructing, without a compensation which such dis tricts would be unwilling to pay; and incapable instructors who should conform to this plan at a moderate salary, would be more likely to injure than to serve the cause of Iearninc?; We cherish t.hft hnnp. that the day is not far distant when the advancement of intellectual cultivation shall have more advocates amongst us; till that day come, legislative enact ments- will avail but little. ? Letters from Nashville render it probable; that Judge White will be prevented by tlie situation of his family, from accepting the appointment tendered to him by the President ofthe U. States. , THE NEW CABINET It must be gratifying to the friends of the present administration to find its opponents making such ad missions as the following, which we quote from the Washinoton CorresnondenCe ofthe New York Jour- . r- x Jk nal of Commerce, with reference to the new Cabinet.! A choice of such men cannot but elevate and prove acceptable to the country. Penn. Inquir er. Washington, 7th May, 1831. Mr. Edward Livingston, the Secretary of State, arrived in this city on Thursday last, took lodgings with Mr. Barnard, at the Man sion Hotel, and is about ! to assume his new station, at once the most honourable and the most responsible belonging to the Executive Department. I have a very, high regard for the person and character of Mr. Livingston, and on the whole believe him fully qualified, not only to sustain himself in his new office, but in it to elevate and honor the United States, I know no man of the Administration party, so suitably or equally prepared to become the counsellor of the President in matters apper taining to the foreign relations ofthe country. I rank him with Mr. Clay, Mr. Tazewell, Mr. Jas. Brown, Mr. Gallatin, and as nearly ap. proaching the venerable Mtdison. Mr. Liv ingston has a mind of an immense expanse; and that mind has been disciplined with great severity. He is at home on all questions of ju risprudence, perfectly conversant with our do mestic and foreign relations, and a most terse, DersDicuous and logical writer. His temper, courtesy, and blandness, admirably qualify him . . mi to make a successlul secretary oi ataie. i ne untiring industry, the unyielding vigilance, and the absence of all preiudice, which at all times characterise Mr. Livingston, exactly fit him p and faithful discharge of all M. J A UXt A V M. w v - -w ' l his social and public obligations. fi AfnT.nnf is most favourably known to his sterling integrity, and manly! deportment, would make him an ornament of any Admin istration. I am really disposed to congratulate the President upon nis seiecuon ot tne Hon. Hugh L. White for one oi nis departments ; and 1 think his assignment to the war department is appropriate. He is a talented man, of the purest character, and disinterestedly friendly to the rresiaeni.

N. V; Gazette. American .SiLK.-rrThe Editor of the Ame rican Farmer is authorized to say that any j quantity of cocoons will be purchased the en- I suing saeson, by a gentleman who is preparing, to erect a filature in Baltimore. From forty to fifty cents a pound will be 'given for them, according to the quality. Particular care should . be takeri in killing the chrysalis, that the fibre ; ofthe cocoons be not injured by heat and that all the chrysales be certainly killed, If thej cocoons be put into' a tin vessel the coverclpsed perfectly, and the vessel be placed in a kettle of boiling water for half an hour, the chry sales will be all killed and the cocoons receive' no injury from too high a heat, as the water will prevent the temperature from rising above the boiling point. At forty cents a pound, co coons will be a very profitable article; One person with a boy to assist ,during the last ten days, ca'n attend to one hundred thousand worms? which if well attended to, kept clean and well fed with white mulberry leaves, will produce 300 pounds of cocoons, which wilK bring at the minimum price, $120.
