NORTH CAROLINA SENTINEL, AND NEWBERN COMMERCIAL, AGRICULTURAL AND LITERARY rNTELLIGlN6fil. i -i THE , NEWBERN : WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1831. IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. The ehip Sampson, at New York, brings London i and Liverpool papers of the 4th and 5th of August. They contain highly important news. The Poles 'have' again been victorious; 14,000 prisoners, and 80 peices of artillery are trophies of their valour. In a letter of the celebrated Correspondent of the London Morning Chronicle, It is stated that on the last of the " Three Days " a report was made to the citizens of Pari.s, said to have come fern the King, that the Poles had killed 16,000, Russians, taken 15,000 prisoners, . and frbm 50 to 80S cannon. From 10 o'clock in the morning, at which , time these tidings .were circula te. I, till one the succeeding morning, nothing was to be heard but songs of triumph, and joy. . Anxious as we are for the success of Poland, we inu'at yet receive these1 reports .with hesitation: all things considered they "appear almost incredible. -XVe greatlyear that the nations that have the means of averting the fate of this brave people will stand -a- ! l;oof,- and like the, 120,000 who were-under arms when M y -r f -11 ' . ..''Til M ! the news reacneu raris,: win rena tne airjtvim accla mations of joy when. they hear of a victory,' Ibid their ? arms in apathy as soon as the momentary excitement passes away, and think no more of the poor Poles till q return of similar tidings, or, what is still more likely, till they hear of their utter annihilation. If France .iinl -England have the feelings for which we give theb credit, the adherence of Prussia to the Russian I fause will be beneficial to Poland ; but if they- trifle away the time of action in useless diplomacy,- and leaye the Poles to perish under the superior powec of ,the(r ruthless invaders, they willhave placed a blot on .theiiinatipnal character which will be as lasting as it will be disgraceful. : - ; The affairs of Be.1 :rium are in: a fair way of amica ble adjustment. Pi ince Leopold has accepted the Armvn, the 1 Belgians having acceded to the stipula tions on which his acceptance had been made to de pend. ; We publish to-day the speech of. Leopold to his new subjects. All discontent seems to have va niehieilj and an amalgamation of parties has taken place, which .must be beneficial to the interests of the country. . . ? ' Irt Trance, at our last accounts, till was festivity I and 'joy. Tlie. celebration of the " Three Da vs" had i taken place, and had passed in peace, and good fr?l- l' i mi ' " ,i . j j.1 n nif.: i,ne views oi me ivuig uua uk. iviuusuy srwu :. f0 lie approximating tb those of the people. We publish the speech of the King, to the Chamber of Deputies, which will be found interesting. The. tvrant- Don Mitruel, has been brought to his senses by the armament which France sent for that - purpose. . The particulars will be found in another ! column. We rejoice thaUie has been chastised. It appears that the evacuation of Romftgna by the .1 Ausiirians, has been the Signal for revolution. The . Pontfficial authority is disregarded by all classes; the taxes are unpaid, and the organs of the government "u;e utterly contemned. The Papal troops desert by companies, and refuse to fight against their fellow ' ; citizens. The people, it seems, are every where de-:- terrriiried to govern themselves. They tiave eubmit ted. too long to the curb and the . spur of oppression, and are become ashamed of their submission. The reign of reason has commenced, and the . " divine right of Kings" is a subject for laughter. A few years will make a wonderful change in the aspect of European affairs and almost any change must be advantageous Wc "cop v from the Richmond Whig, a more cir-1; cunistantial account of the horrors of the late insur- rection in Vircrinfa, than we were able to give in our : f ' - u last. The -Editor of that paper was on the . spot, aa a volunteer, and his statements may therefore be con sidered authentic. This abortive' attempt of these! niguided wretches is ; well calculated to impress on their rain Is the extreme folly of all endeavours -to change their condition by any other means fhag a strict performance of the duties that are conse q jent Dn their station in life. The utnjost extent of the4hiurv which thrV ran nt nnutime inflicts will not. go beyond, the raufder of a few defenceless women . und children, whomay fall in their way in thinly j peopled sections of the country; but they should be a- Vare that tlie vengeance which will surely follow such dastardly barbarity will be deep and dreadful ! The $act that has just transpired is sufficient to convince them of this. . The neighborhood which thev chose lor the scene of their attfocities, was wrapt in unsus- j o j Pectmg security, sparee in population,' and utterly provided for any thing approaching to systematic de fence ; and yet, with all' these disadvantages, what is the result? Upwards of a hundred of the wretched assassins have been shot and mangled, and thus hur ried unprepared to the presence of an offended God, to account fortheir deeds of blood thirsty cruelty, tthile forty or fifty more will inevitably expiate, on c gallows, this outrage on humanity and on the aws tnG country. Lamentable as these conse quencee; are, they are but a small part of the penalty acurred by this insurrection.; Masters who are na- turally kind and humane will hereafter distrust their aves, and constrain them with all the strictness of picion ; while those of a different HicnocitJon Hll uw",uoi ouu ut-Aiiv unaoie to uistm between the ' innocent and the miiltv tiw of discipline will be an indiscriminatine course uus punisnment, even lor offences which had thertobeen considered but venial.

A UUU11C ,- miormea on the subject: and the j """ucuguunDiooa snould be made to Sonth eVery rapt .similar to that at ninampton will be but an additional step towards presspT uestructlon. It should be indelibly im ir minds, that another movement of a "rf wiU be the signal for their extermi , iuust luey oe, u tney can for a moment belieVe that they are ; able to contend with their superiors. "A few ignorant wretches, to tally destitute of all power and of the means of obtain ing it, niust be devoid of rationality to place them selves in opposition to hundreds of thousands of intel ligent,'high minded men, well disciplined, and ready at a moment's warning to sweep them from the face of the earth. We see no cause for concealment : evr eryrnan should be prepared, not only to defend his family and his fireside from the inroads of the murder er, but also to deal to the abandoned instigators of these hellish conspiracies a retribution so salutary, and at thejsame time so awful, that the very recollec tion should forever hereafter deter others from enga ging in such fruitless and dangerous attempts. Georgia and South Carolina papers , speak of the calamitous effects of the late" heavy and continued rains which have deluged the low grounds, and done immense injury to the! crops; At Augusta the Sa vannah had risen 31 feet above low-water mark. One half of the fine bridge across the Wateree, at Camden, was swept away, and the bridge over the Great Pedee at Cher.w, had shared the same fate.. The W'nyaw Intelligencer states that " one individ ual has lost a crop of from 15 to 20 thousand bushels of corn." The Camden Journal says : " The indivi dual loss sustained by some gentlemen fn this neigh bourhood cannot be less than thirty thousand dollars." " A reat many of our Planters have suffered a total loss of their whole. crops; men who, one week ago, could boast -of making from two to five hundred bales of cotton, and frofr? three to four thousand bushels of corn, wilj now scarcely make a bale of the former or save a bushel of the latter." , This is truly a lament able account, and we fear that the half is not yet told, as many of the low i Istricts remain o be heard f rom . The following, which we copy fromKhe Fayetteville. Observer, brings the calamity nearer to our own nei ffhbourhobd . The Freshet. We have copied from other papers, some account of the destructive effects of the late extraordinary freshet in the States of South Carolina and Georgia! Our own State has come in for its. share of the losses, though not to such a disastrous extent as her neigh bours. We learn that Haw river, the north ern branch of the Cape Fear, has been very high and that much damage has been done to Mill Dams, and low grounds. We have not heard particulars, except that Judge Ruflin's dam, (formerly Judge Murpbey's is entirely swept away. ' a The low grounds Bladen, in where we anti cipated much mischief, have, we are happy to learn, escaped material injury. A letter from a friend in the upper part of Richmond County, informs us that the Pedee has swept away Mills, Crops, fcc, in that neighbouhood, to an extent surpassing the re-, collection of the oldest inhabitants " Farm- ers who were almost in the very act of gath ering in their year's labor, had the mortifica tion of seeing the whole of their dependence blasted in one day's time. Owing to. the situ ation; of the corn, which was just ripening and the water lying over it several days, will cause it when the sun shines out, to rot. Not only crops, but hogs, cattle, 'sheep horses, were drowned: the farmers not suspecting such a j freshet, took no pains secure them." The same letter informs us of the melancho ly death, by drowning, of Mr. Wm. Randall, son of Mr. Wiatt Randall, of Montgomery county, a young man of very respectable con nections, who had been married only three months before, and who bid fair to become a valuable member of society. He was drown ed whilst endeavoring to drive the Stock on his farm to a place of security. A meeting of American Citizens favourable to Poland, and the cause for which she contends, was held in Paris,ion the 9th of July, at which the celer brated James Fennimore Cooper presided, and Dr. I T.

KingXeopold I. of Belgium has already announced his intention of marrying the Prineess Marie of France. Arrangements are being made for the cere mony. ' s It' was rumoured-, in London that the Emperor Nicholas had fallen a victim to cholera : later accounts discredit the report. - A shocking outrage was lately committed, in Gran ville County, in this State, by.Mrf Potter, a member of Congress, on two respectable citizens of that Coun ty, whose names we have been unable to learn. It appears that the poison of Othello's peace had taken possession of Mr. Potter's brain, and, it is believed, on as slight grounds. Instead, however, of following the unmanly revenge of the Blackamoor, and dying his un-'hands with the blood of his gentle Desdemona , he mustered all the savageness of his nature, sought a suitable opportunity, pounced ' upon the suspected paramours, and with a slip-noose, already prepared, caught them as they do wild cattle on the pampas of Buenos Ay res, and with a, sharp knife and a steady harid,reduced them in a twinkling to the conditon of Ori gen. The transaction is still more creditable to the honorable member when we consider that the one is a lad in his teens, the other a venerable minister of the gospel, of nearly sixty. We transfer to our columns a lamentable account of the horror and desolation caused by the late hurri cane in the island of Barbadoes. We hope that the pecuniary aid which our fellow-citizens intend to send to Poland, will be transmitted to these unhappy sufferers, our more immediate neighbours. We know that in this case it would alleviate the sufferings of the survivors; and we entertan serious doubts whether equal benefit would, now at the eleventh hour, result from itsr transmission to Poland. A company of United States' Light Artillery embarked at Norfolk, for this place, on Satur day last they are hourly expected. trencn Veary Simon Draper, Esar. of this city, passenger in the ship Formosa, Capfc Orme, ar rived on Tuesday evening, is bearer of Despatches irom Air. mves, to our Government. Amnncr thn despatches is the Treaty lately concluded with the French Government by our Minister at Paris. An article appareoTin the Journal du Havre of 5th July on the subject of this treaty, which is not only prema ture an 1 unauthorized but incorrect in many of its details.-We learn by Mr. Draper who obtained his information from Mr. Rives that the amount of claims to be paid by France for sixilations of Ameri can property, is twenty-five millions of francs, paya ble m six, equal yearly instalments, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, irom the date of the treaty being, ra ified by our government, which in terest will swell the amount to about twenty eio-ht millions five hundred thousand franc. Mr. Rives has stipulated on. behalf of our govern ment, the payment of one million five, hundr th sand trance in settlement of Bea.umarch.ais' claims. that wines (white and red) shall be admitted in our country on the following terms : Wines in bottles, shall pay 20 ehts, in place of 30. u in casks, 10 ' in place of 15. All other wines now paying 10 cents, shall be admit ted at 6 cents duty. The French government on their part, stipulate to relinquish all the Louisiana claims. That American long staple cotton shall be admitted at 20 francs per 100. kil. (the same duty as short staple pays) in place of 40 francs, as now charged. We have yet no positive information as to the clas ses of claims that are admitted, and therefore prefer not to touch upon the subject, though we are well aware that much anxiety pre vails on this head. Mr Draper proceeds to Washington with his despatches this morning, and in a few days the whole particulars of the treaty will doubtless be published.. New York Mer. Adv. INSURRECTION. We stop the press to sfate that .an express has arrived iu town with the intelligence that the negr.es in Duplin and Jones Counties are in a state of insurrection. Re- porfays, that seventeen white families had fallen victims when thf messenger left the,jieighbbiirhood Ve hope to see such steps taken as shall not fad to'strvk- terror to . - . . . - the. hearts of these savage miscreants. Our citizens are prepared,; and wait but for the wnrd.io act. We will issue an Extra as soon as we shall have learned the extent of the insurrection. DIED, At Geneva, N.

I think so stilL Thp noTt matter which it is necs3a.rv to notice, an alleged extract from a letter which he says I wrote mJ? Pe bP.

On this point I give the cer tificate of Mr. Granberry. I hereby certify that the extract of a letter published in the Raleigh Star of the 8th inst. by Meritt Dilliard from Mr. Fowler to him, was written by me at hia dictation. That I entirely disbelieve that such a re mark was in the letter, and that if it be so written, it was not, either what 1 understood from Mr. Fowler, or what I intended to write. - ' JOHN G. GRANBERRY. In relation to his extract from Mr. Gildersleeve's letter, that gentleman says that " the extract given lVi Jumu-le(! one "that Dilliard should publish the whole of his letter. Will he do this? in reply to his denial of having harboured Sam, asse7tY 10 him' " SUe" "nd 1 vMp the As to the manner inhich the Bill of Sale was obtained and for what purposes, Mr! Gildersleeve's certmcatealready pubhsheS is conclusive ; the repu tation of Ddhard being notoriously villanous, while that ot Mr. Gildersleeve is, and has always been snot less and above suspicion. The last accusation is almost too puerile to deserve notice.. He accuses me of appearing before the pub lic "in " the fine feathers of another man's language." As a specimen of the purity of his own diction, cor rect spelling, uncommon fineness of feelings, and above all, of his honest intentions, I have inserted two of his letters, below. After having had $725 of my money in hand upwards ol nineteen months after having, as I can prove, harboured the nefirro. that was lawfully mine after having with the deli berate intention of defrauding me got possession of the Bill of Sale, and after having conveyed away, his property, to write me that because I attempted to get the negro, " he would follow me within a inch of hell :" " that 1 should never have him unless I stole him," and that it was in his power to make ", me lose the whole oi the, money, as his concerns were in such a way that it was as he pleased whether I got any thing or not" I say, after all this baseness, can there be lound a man, so meek and even tempered, that he would hesitate to expose his villany, and attempt to rescue his own reputation irom the malevolent assault of such a wretch? Forced into this controversy against.my inclination, I am resolved not to abandon it, should further occasion arise to vindicate my .cha racter.! WM. L. FOWLER. (No. I.)

IN THE Raleigh Star of the 8th inst., I perceive art imputation cast on the truth of a certificate " which I some time ago gave to Mr. William L. tow- ler, respecting a transaction between him and Mr. Meritt Dilliard of Raleigh, of which I was a witness. To repel Mr. Dilliard's unfair insinuations, and to get. theJmatter at rest, as far as I am concerned, I shall briefly state the circumstances of the case as they occurred. Mr. Fowler had purchased a negro slave from Mr Dilliard, for whom he paid him $ 725. Owing to oc currences which are not satisfactorily explained by Mr. Dilliard, a misunderstanding arose between him and Mr. Fowler, respecting the non-delivery of the slave, according to contract. In the mean time the rfe- i. j c- - n --3 T":il; .V gro naa run away, oome ume auerwa.ru ixr. uiiuaru came to Newbern, and believing that I was concerned in the business, he entered into conversation with me on the subject, and among other observations he re marked, that it he had the Bill of Sale whjch he had given to Mr. Fowler, to show to the friends of the ne gro, he had no doubt that he would return home, and he (Mr. D.) would be thereby enabled to deliver him to the purchaser. r I observed in reply, that he could create such a belief in his neighbourhood as well with out the Bill of Sale as with it. He persisted, however, in saying that he would not? be believed .unless he could show it.' I replied then, that under this view of the case I supposed Mr. Fowler would let him have" it. Alter wards, on the same da v, m mv presence.. Mr. Fowlerdid deliver the Bill of Sale to Mr. Dilliard, not cancelled, as he says, but solely for the avowed purpose of decoying the negro, so that he might be delivered according to contract. There was nothing said, as far as I recollect about. rptnrnin cr tht Vtill rtV Sp1p ? fnr it rrmlrl cmtpaI K presumed that a person who appeared so anxious to fulfil his contract could have any- sinister motive in view ; and besides, Mr. Fowler held a bond of Mr. Dilliard's for the fulfilment of the bargain, which lie looked upon as ample security ; and even if he hai suspected that Mr. Dilliard's motives were different from his professions, it is very probable that he would still have trussed him with the Bill of Sale, believing that this bond offered sufficient indemnification, should, Mr. Dilliard decline a compliance with his agreement. Tho tonnr nf" oil TVTr rUlliawt'o imtxri vrnntaKlo - I lusions to me, in his controversy with Mr. Fowler, evinces a disposition to impress the public mind with a belief that I am interested in the purchase of the slave, and that all I say on the subject should therefore pass for nothing. He appears extremely anxious tb exempt me from all claims to honour and respecta' bility. Had such insinuations come from a different source. I might have thought it necessary to taRe some notice or them : but as it is, I am perfectly wil ling to let them pass with impunity. ' The name of their author is more than sufficient to neutralize tlig. effects which he intends to produce. For the satisfaction of those who have read Hit. Dilliard's accusation, I will state, that I have no in terest whatever in the negroin question. Mr. Fowler has frequently acted as my agent, but generally, with out specificfirtstructions regarding the purchases which he should make, or the persons with whom he should deal. He is held responsible for all monevs that he receives from me; .and until he returns them, or what I may be willing to receive as their value, he stanch; between him and Mr. Dilliard was no exception to this course.
