NORTH CAROLINA SENTINEL AND NEWBERN COMMERCIAL, kGRlCtJLTUkAL AxD llTERAiiV INOELLkGENOER; I llE! I TUT I030v!sf THE SENTINEL. j NEWBERN : WEDNESDAY JULY 6, 1831. - The arrival of the ..Meridian puts us in possession of London and Liverpool dates as late as the 2fkh and 27th of May. We mentioned ih; our last, the inten tion orthe; great powers of Europe to negotiate be tween Russia and Poland . Itappears that they have irnade an attempt at pacification, but without success. Russia has declined all farther conference on the subject, and the reply of the Emperor toihe last solici tation was, that "the Poles had made their demands i with drawn swords, and his honour required that they ; should be answered with the same weapon." Not withstanding this discouraging declaration, France has niftilo another effort bv a special courier, the re- ! suit cf which may, be expected by the next arrival. No fewer than 33,003 of Diebitsch's army are said to rendering under cholera morbus. This is given as i the cause of his temporary retreat. IIs The majority in favour, of Reform itf England is Ibtated at 134. The returns are not yet completed, t and it is conjectured that eight or ten more will be ad fded to the number. j 'A prop)salfor a general disarming of theEuropean j Continental powers has been made by France, and is ; said to have met the approbation of. Austria. . This important measure is to be preceded by an agreement It hat none of the contracting powers shall enter on at ; war without the consent of all the rest. If Poland be i ranked amoqg them as an independent nation, we earnestly desire to see a consummation of this design ; oh any other conditions, the combination vfould'be only a second Holy Alliance. , . - : THLi FOURTH OP JULY. Ho entirely were bur good citizens engrossed by M-the remembrance of things past' that but few were jt'oj'be found in their beds at daybreak on Monday morning. Long before that time, the roar !of cannon ! Mild, musketry had broken on the stillness of the morn iiiig, proclaiming the irrepressible feeling of exultation j which the return of our NationalJubilee never fails to j all forth.. At S'imris'e,. a Federal salute, the ringing of bells, atid a feu de joie from our Volunteer Corps, the Newbern Grays, proclaimed the earnestness with Vvhich the celebration of the day had commenced. The Grays paraded until. seven o'clock, and then reti red. At 11, they joined their fellow citizens in the Presbyterian 'Church. The Rev. J. Armstong com menced the celebration to the Church by an impres sive prayer. After some appropriate and excellent! prelatory ijemarks, Edward Stanly, Esq. read the Declaration of Independence. This was succeeded by ' Hail Columbia,' by our amateur Band of the Har monic Society. An oration was then delivered by Charles SnEPARD, Esq. : - When we say that many years have passed since we heard a fourth of July oration so appropriate, and tldeservingofapprobat ion, those who had the pleasure of being present, will acquit us of a desire to be in vidious, or to disparage the, patriotic efforts of others; We were glad to find that Mr. Shepard's good taste hid him to select only such historical illustrations of his subject as, Avere calculated to leave impressions of .satisfaction and pleasure. It is too frequently , the rase that Inexperienced persons in such situations, think it a part of .their duty to magnify the unparent al conduct of England, to paint her as a monster of injustice, and to cherish thjose exascerbated feelings which are but too apt to arise between nations as well as between families. The necessity for this has long passed away, and all such feelings should be consigned to oblivion. Such, we said befbrej was not the course pursued, by Mr. Shepard. He said all that Americans . could desire, but nothing which could justly offend the most xlevxrted subject of Britain ; and the entire ap probation of his audience is the test evidence of the correctness of his views. i .. At three o'clock, the. Volunteer Company, together With a large number ol their fellow citizens, proceed- to the Masonic Half, where they partook of an ; rxcellent dinner,; provided by Mr.. Carney. ! After the cloth was-removed, the following Toasts ' were drunk : ' I 1st. TheDav and Principles of our Independence ! IM. Thr Union of the States. The true Ark of our Liberties. j 3d.

The festivities of the day were terminated by a pyrotechnick display, conducted by a respected fellow townsman, to whose spirited exertions we have been frequently indebted on such occasions. We would remark in conclusion, that the celebra tion of the Fourth of July should never be omitted. A recurrence to the, principles which first hallowed this da y to Americans, is not only a high gratifica tion, but an important duty. Like the clay, man of Prometheus, we require the celestial fire which ema nates from them to animate us in the cause of Liberty, and to give vigour to our efforts for its perpetuation. We have often endeavoured to imoress on the minds of our fellow citizens the great impropriety of permitting inexperienced and careless persons to manage our guns on the' fourth of July, and at other times of: public rejoicing. I Admonition, however, and former experience are alike disregarded, and no pre caution whatever is used to prevent the imprudent from seeking their own destruction, and jeoparding the lives of others. No fewer than four persons wrere badly Wounded, in this place, on Monday last, one of them, we fear, mortally. The whole was the result of unpardonable carelessness. 1 Capt Casey of the schooner Philadelphia, belonging to this jiort, arrived from New York on the 4th inst. states that, on the 1st July, when about 15 miles to southward of Cape Henryheaw a suspicious looking vessel, Baltimore clipper built, about 5 miles off. At 6 P. M. she tacked ship and stood off to the eastward, when the Philadelphia lost sight of her. Next day, about 12 M. made her again on the Philadelphia's weathei bow, running in for the land. She hoisted her colours, tacked ship, and stood off then hauled down lier colours, and when nearly abreast of the schooner, tacked again, ran along side and hailed us, " asking us where from, where bound, and Avhether we had keen any vessel similar to her ; said yes, the day before, (but this must; have been the same vessel) about 15 miles to southward of Cape Henry. She inquired theboarin and dietancc of Ilatteras, and asked Ifj we knew what vessel mat was aslon of us. informed her that Hatters lay " S. S. E. distant about 50 miles, and that we did not know the vessel astern, to which he replied, that Hatteras lay S . by E . when asked where she was from, she replied from Port au Plat, and bound for the Florida coast. She was a long, rakish vessel, black, with a few white streaks, waist cloths all round, which were rolled up counted eleven sweep holes on one side ; had a small boat to her davids, and an uncommonly large long boat on deck. When she first came along side, saw four men onlyj but oil making some alteration in her sails, eleven or twelve came upon deck ; they appeared to be of different; nations he who hailed us, wore a uniform jacket with twoor three rows of white bullet buttons.'' Gapt. Casey was informed by the Ocracoke Pilots that they had seen, a few days before, off Cape Henry, a schooner on fire, and that she was burnt to the water's edge. i j " : . Wilmington Congressional District. We are informed that a very strong desire is mani fested by the friends of the Administration in the Wil mington iDistrict, that Gen. STEPHEN MILLER of Duplin, should represent them in the next Con- gress. We have not understood whether Gen. Miller has consented to become a candidate ; wre hope, how ever, that he will gratify his friends by yielding to their wishes on this occasion. The "unremitting attention of the Post Office Department to the interests and accommodation of th miWick. is entitled to general approbation. We r l . j 'p ; At now receive our letters and papers from New York in four days, and from Philadelphia, in three; and the Charleston mail that fomerly arrived but once in seven days, is now received twice in six. Mr. Brown, ofthe Department,' passed through this place a few days ago, on his wa$ south. He is inspecting the Southern! route for the purpose of acquiring such in formation! as shall tend to bestow on the transmission ofthe mail all the advantages of which.it is suscep tible. We are surprised (that the gentlemen who have so long contemplated the establishment of a line of steamboats and stages between this place and Elizabeth should still hesitate. Their procrastina tion may enable others to anticipate them. The undertaking could not be otherwise than profitable: the vastly superiour facilities which this route pos sesses would soort manifest themselves in the undi vided patronage of travellers. It appears that the burning ofour Capitol was ra ther providential than otherwise. " Such," says the Raleigh Register, "seems to have been the original precarious construction of the walls, that many be lieve, had not the Capitol been Tmrnt, they would at no distant day have given way, from the pressure of their own; weight, and perhaps have involved a seri ous loss of human life in their fall." We learn, from the same: source, that Lawson's History of North Carolina,; the oldest work ofthe kind, was in the Li brary at the time of the fire. A gentleman of this place, from whose pen we expect a much better his-; tory of our State, has a manuscript copy of Lawspn, which he had written aboiirt a year, ago.

We like such federalism.! is unin UAKULIJTA INSTITUTE. The meeting of ".Teachers and fiends of Educa tion," to which we called the attention of our readers a few weeks ago, took place at Chapel HilL on the 22d ult. The intention ofthe meeting havino- been explained, a committee was appointed, and a Consti tution prepared for the government of future proceed ings. We earnestly hope that these publick spirited exertions will suffer no relaxation, for never was re form more necessary than that which this Institute has in contemplation. The State is inundated with pretenders to knowledge, who find it easier to live on the credulity of the people than to labour, and who defraud the rising generation and! perpetuate the reign of ignorance without a feeling of remorse or a sense ofthe consequences- With such as these there should be no compromise : the inflexible decree of publick disapprobation should drive them from their assumed position, and the condemning voice of a deeply injured community should be loudly raised against their dangerous temerity. Aided by the people the Institute can effect this ; j and surety the people will assist when the cause is their own. We regret that the. meeting has made the payment of a certain sum of money necessary to admission to mem bership. A society whose views are fo elevated, and whose desire is to advance the best interests of man kind, should never resort to such nbasures, unless they be indispensable: Every member should pay his own expenses, and all incidental charges should be met by those who cause them. We long to see a community in which pecuniary concerns shall have no place. ' Societies, auxiliary to the Institute, ouo-ht to be es- tablished in every town in 1 the State, and as none could aid the cause more effectually than Newbern, we hope to see it set the example. ; Dr. Simmons J. Baker was called i to the chauv The objects of the meeting were explained by Mr. Benjamin M. Smith of Milton, in an appropriate and highly interesting address. On motion the following persons were appointed a committee; to draft a con stitution, to wit, Professors Mitchell and Hooper of the University, Rev. Wm. M. Green, Benjamin M. Smith, and W. J. Bingham. The meeting then ad journed to Thursday morning at 6 o'clock. Thursday morning Met according to adjourn ment. The committee appointed for that ournose submitted the following.

A person who advertises as a schoolmaster in our unfortunate State, and professes to teach English grammar on a new plan, in seven weeks, has the fol lowing elegant sentence in his advertisement. "I have been induced to teach another school at this academy Jrom the solicitations of several of my fnends; and m consequence of several important en gagements I shall not be able to visit the neighbours in their individual capacities, which leads me to announce my intentions through the medium of a public notice." This reminds us of Wilson's descrip tion of the Mockingbird, He says, " in measure and accent he faithfully follows his originals; in force of sweetness and expression he greatly improves upon them." When the croaking of a raven is improved upon, the imitation ceases, and from the above speci men, we fear that English grammar, on a new planr ceases to be English. The Trustees of the Pomona Academy, in the neighbourhood of Raleio-h, advertise for a teacher who understands Latinj English and Mathematicks, and offer $300 a year as a salary! SUPREME COURT.

Cap tain Aveilhe, of the. brig Marion, arrived yesterday from Kingston, (Jamaica) informs us that whilst at Kingston, the schooner Phantom arrived from Porto Cabello, with Capt Bossier and crew ofthe brig Ser aphim, of Baltimore, which vessel had been destroyed by the batteries of Porto Cabello. An extract from the Log Book of schooner Phantom which was lying at anchor near the Seraphim at' that time, was to have been published in the Kingston papers the day he sailed. Cap. A. was informed, that on about the 20th May, the Seraphim came to Porto Cabello, and as usual, Capt. B. wTent to the Fort. A short time after being ashore he was seen to make for his boat, and the Spaniards in pursuit of him ; he however succeeded i n reaching t he boat, got on board his vessel, and immediately hove up his anchor and made sail. The batteries then commenced firing on the Sera phim and finally disabled her, and wounded the mate and several ofthe seamen. He then came to again and sent his boat wTith the 2d mate to know why he was fired into ; but on reaching the shore his officer and boat's crnw were made prisoners. ; The batteries continued firing with no colours hoisted, the S. having at the time the American Ensign flying. Captain Echberger, ofthe Phantom, immediately went ashore to the Commandant of the Fort, and beggfifit to cease firinff the Cnmirirtridant said.-that Canfj O " 7 ! 7 ' ," I V. It - ' '"-Vliif'!!.!

A. does not know whether he was put in confinement or not, but during that time the Phantom, who was bound out, was permitted to take on board the Mate and crew ofthe S. with whom she proceed ed to St. Bias, where she was trading.

Mr. Green, pursuant to ap pointment delivered a literary Oration "the in fluence of the Christian religion upon the happiness of nations" an eloquent and well written composi tion, which the feeble health of the speaker prevented his delivering with his usual warmth & animation. We are gratified to learn that it will be published. In the afternoon, a Convention of teachers and gentlemen interested in the subject of education foi- improving the state of instruction in institutions of every grade, from the University to the . primary school, convened; but we have not understood what proceedings took place on the occasion.

' Great Flood. During the last" six or eight days the eastern mail has been flooded with an extraordi nary bulk of " Supplements of the National Ga zette." It has been ascertained that about Hire bushels of these "supplements" have passed this vil lage, daily, for the last above named days, and yes terday several hundred came directed to our citizens. They are sent to lawyers, merchants and business men generally, and are filled with long and labored articles in favor of the United States Bank. If seems that the "flood gates" of this mammoth insti tution have been raised, and the community already inundated with pamphlets, papers, supplements, &c. intended to counteract, by an overdrawn picture ol the benefits and honesty of the bank, the voice of the" democracy, which has so signally broke silence in every quarter and pronounced it unconstitutional, and with its unlimited powers, detrimental to the ci vil liberties of our country. Every effort, therefore, of this description, made by the bank and its friends, should awaken the minds of the people to its increa sing danger. The establishment of branches in va rious sections of the union ; the profuse expenditure of money in sustaining presses and the distribution of papers .devoted to its interest, is an indication of the unwearied exertions that are and will be made to defeat the will of the people and secure a renewal of its charter.
