NORTH CAROLINA SENTINEL AND NEWBORN COMMERCIAL, AGRICULTURAL AND LITERARY INTELLIGENCER ! - 1 " I it i THE SENTINEL.. ! NEWBERN : WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1831. 13y recent accounts from those places, we learn that at the late sessions of the superioij courts of Du plin and Richmond counties, four slaves were convie ted of having conspired to produce insurrection and were to be executed on Saturday, 1 last Is it not aB tonishing that with such examples before their eyes, these deluded wretches should still pereLst in their se cret combinations and stupid plots? "Vhat can they promise themselves but to he hunted like wild beasts of the forest, and to be slaughtered at; every; turn, as , soon as they; rise in rebellion against their masters ? .- If they ejcpect better than this, their infatuation per- yerts their reason, and the sequel wilU-convince such of them as shall remain to .witness it, that they who ', prompt themlo disobedience; are their Worst enemies. Their ill-concerted schemes have been more widely disseminated than we I at iirst Believed. Late ac counts frcjrn Delaware say that insurrectionary plots to a considerable extent had been discovered' in that Htate, and that' twenty-four of the prmcipEil instiga tors ha'd been committed to the jail of Sussex county. Tile first Tuesday in October, the very day appointed by 'the negroes in this State, was the time specified ' lor making their attempt. : This coincidence strongly corroborates the confessions which were made in-our .neighbouring Counties, and leaves but little doubt that their plans, though badly organised, were at least extensively circulated. At the Gold Miiies u!io, in Rutherford, and in Richmond County, con spiracies were detected, and five negroes have been 7 1'ommitteiT for trial. The principal leader at the Klines, is another gifted expounder -of jthe scriptures. -He also, it is said, 'mixed his religion with politics, and occasionally edified his aqethern with a para graph from- the Constitution of the State and the ihil of Rights. We have always thought, and fre quently said, that our culpability in permitting these tcbundrels to assume the character of preachers v.-oul.l produce its own punishment. We think it extremely injudicious, under present f circumstances, to agitate the question of emancipa tion. We consider it little short of abetting their Vuilty purposes to hjbldout the belief that they can extort their liberty by insurrection and murder; and editors vtlio pubjibh opinions which tend to cherish ;:.:ch a hope, are justly, reprehensible. The slaves ihould be taught that good behaviour and that alone,. n the passport to-freedom; and th at every aberra tion from the path of duty serves but to lengthen their J bondage andi to double their .privations. This is no rime for compromise : the period has come when we must either be roasters or submit to the consequences ; and we think tliat even the requisitions of humanity '.will be better complied with by a rigorous exaction of obedience and duty. . It is remarkable that three of the four negroes (who were lately condemned, belonged to preachers of the gospel. The inference which we draw from thiols, t'nt the better they are treated the less deserving they become. The slaves have attained-to that de Tee! of knowledge which makes them attribute our vliindness to policy, rather than to better motives; and ' when humanity induces unusual exertions in their fdvor, they at once consider them the effects of our f iars, and repay us with the blackest ingratitude. "We arc apprehensive that they will find this state of l'jelin as unsafe as it is unnatural. . It will be recollected by bur readers that a M r.

The morning prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Berrian, of New York, and the lessons by the Rev. Dr.Delancev, of this city.

The Bishop elect was invested in his official robes by t he Rev. Mr. Wright, of North Caro lina, and the Rev. Dr. Montgomery. The sermon, by Bishop B. T. Onderdonk of New York, founded on Ephesums 11. 20, was an able and manly exposition of the grounds on which the Church is based, with a touching and effective appeal to tlje Bishop elect to follow the steps of his predecessor, Bishop Ravenscroft, in the fearlessness and faithful ness of his ministry.

There is no capitalist probably in Europe, who would take the responsibility of a fixed engagement to lend mo tley to Russia under all the circumstances of the Polish contest, though none would, of course hesitate at a good commission for such an amount, as they may be able, under the sanction of their names, to get into circulation.

It appears trom the Habiborg papers, that the Empe ror .Nicholas has iiot given the Poles time lo consider whether they will tccept of" the teiaier mercies" held out to them in l he proclamation which we published yesterday. His "dogs of war ' have not been kennelled or muzzled lor a moment, but have held onward after the scent of blood. It appears that the main body of Ihe Russjan army is marching upon Warsaw, and that a decisive engagement under '' its walls ws-expected in a tew dttys. The Poles express themselves confident of a successful result, but are prepared for the worst. ; From tht Morning Herald, August 22. - Accounts from Warsaw have been received up to the 12ih inst. They state that the Russian General, Field Marshai Count Paskrwitch. kent ihe PTftiul i mv at a cautious distance from the Polish caoital (full 50 mile1 anu as cautiously avoided c -nungto an engagement. It was i . . ... . ' thought that his i!an as to cut off the sunnlies trom , - t - Warsaw. He was said t; br .-xpecttng reinforcements of troops trom the Russian Asiatic provinces, a;id fears were entei tHined of these troops bringing: in their train he plague, which had, it ia stated, some time ago broken out amongst them. 'Ihe greatest unanimity prevails in w o - j j - - - the Polish capital, and all feelings of party spirit have given way to patriotism. The Polis'i army, at the date of these accounts, was in siffht of the ttussians. and a Preaf - - o hattle vas hourly expected. Despatches hav.t been re ceived at Warsaw from Colonel Koss, who accompairfed uielguu tv Ltthuiana, and who was despatched towards 1 olaui-en. I tie Colonel continued tu muihtain himself in th Government- ol Alohilew. The uumiier of the I armed insurrnts ihere and in the vecinity of Witepsk, ! was estimated at 10,000 men. General Tolstoi had bro ken-up from Wilma to march against them. The report that a part of General Rudger's corps had crossed the Vistula had noi been confirmed. General Dem'Jinski had been appointed Governor of Warsaw, and had alrea dy begun to act in thai character. INo change of importance had taken place in the posi tion of the jarmies since the last accounts, but every thing seems to portemt an wful and finaUtruggle. It seems to be the policy of the present Commander of the Russians, rather to starve the capital into surrender than to makej a bold push at its capture. He deals much more in feints and military manoeuvres, to make his ene my believe ihat he meditates an attack: in one place, whilst he, in; fact, attempts it in another, than his prede cessor ; anu this cautious policy has hitherto proved rath er beneficial;to its objects. The Journal ot St T Petersburg h contains the following proclamation to the Poles, issued by the Emperor on the 19th of July : . " Poles ! Our proclamation o'f the I7th ofDccember ac quainted you with our intentions ; these have hitherto been disregarded. "Your Sovereign offered vou the means of atoning for a temporary error, bv a nromnt return to vmir lntv. ar,from listening to his voice, you have riven ear to the perfidious suggestions of ambitious men; who make a sport of the fall of nations These iniseraole men Iihvk ph. deavored to make all reconciliation impossible: thev have nvneu you io needs which must expose you to irreme diable misfortunes, and close against you every way to paroon : tnev have ascribed to vour Kincr intentions ah rh j o ie never conceited. Meantime a sanguinary and obstinate strujele has ensued. Dreadful misfortunes have desolated vour conn. ry, thousands of your brave country men have fallen victims of a fatal infatuation. .' The Divine Providence has not permitted the ambi tious projects of those who waste your blood ,-nrt the treasures of your country t prosper. Already hare those provinces of the empire you endeavored to unite in the insurrection, returned to order and obedience the heads which were intended to spread disorder and desolation are annihilated or driven into-a foreign territory. The troops sent to combat them will-now strengthen the main army whidi has passed tne Vistula, which you considered as an impassable Carrier. It is advancing against War saw. A new conflict awaits you, which cau have no other than dangerous consequences. "In this decisive moment we again address to vou words of peace and cietnencv. Mav vou nav inor r. gard to them than you did before ! Those who would implicate you in their criminal projects, and draw yuu into their own destruction, endeavor to persuade you that you have no alternative bul between desperation and dath and punishmeni or exile. Do not giv- credit to odious insinuations. The events that have taken place have not cut off from you the. way to your deliverance. Return to your duty, truly abandon all criminal projects we are still ready to receive you into favor. 1 he pa ternal disposi'.ion which caused us, on the 4th of July, to take a resolution to pardon shall still guide our conduct towards you, but only a prompt and unconditional sub mission can give yu aright to it. "Given at Gurskojisclo, 29th of July. (Signed) "NICHOLAS. " Ihe Minister Sec'y of State, Count Gkabowski. Warsaw, August 8 There are various reports in cir culation respecting the operatiows of the main armies.
