A pistol was fired at him as he was on his way to the Chambers. The following are the details as given in Galignani's Messenger "Amongst the persons, who on seeing the King shouted the louuest acclamations, the spectators re marked a man, ill dressed, aged about 30, of middle size, who waved his hat with his right hand. At the moment the King arrived opposite this individual, the latter drew from his pbCKet a pistol, and presenting it Qt his majesty with his lell hand, continued to wave his hat with his right. "A young woman near him, observing his 'move ments, seized hold of his right arm, and thus change the direction oi his shot. The assassin disappeared immediately amongst groups composed of ill dressed persons, who-appeared disposed to protect him. In his flight he threw down the pistol which he had fired and a second pistol which was loaded. The detona- hon was very loud. The ball grazed the hat of M. Gabriel Delessert,'Aide Major-General of the Nation al Guards, who formed part of tne procession. A movement of alarm was manifested among his Ma jesty's suite. ''Disclosures made to the authorities have been the means of tracing the assassin and a conspiracy of which he was to have been the instrument.

This, however, is no longer the case, for Nullification is fast on the decline, and the period fast approaching when the authors and supporters of this offspring of an unhallowed, unbounded ambition, will receive the hearty disapprobation of every honest citizen of the State. Declarations are daily heard to escape numbers that they have been deluded, in being taught that nullification was to prove peacea ble, and that in the time of civil commotion, they will act w ith the union party. Indeed, it is confidently be lieved, that the Union party, will put in new mem bers to Congress." A second Newspaper, Tfie People's Press, edited by P. W. Fanning and T.

Extract of a letter from a Lady in Charleston to i t i .1 I ... r "V . her nusuanu, a nieinuer ui ujc ucgiBiaiuic, -n vw- umbia. j Charleston, December 18th, 1832. My dear Husband " The President's proclamation was received here on Sunday. You have, no doubt, seen by the papers we are to have rive companies ot artillery sent on against us immediately. The proclamation has not ntimidated any of the fetate Rights Party, that is judging from the Ladies I have seen ; they are more determined than ever " to resist even unto blood." Would it not be advisable to lay in provi sions for a siege ? Our castle will be well filled, in case of an attack. I have offered room to all our nearest friends. 1 must lurnish rice, and we are to get beef from Woodstock. We will have many siout hearts among us. It is proposed to have som e of our windows with iron . bars, (all in the lower story) then we will feel quite safe, 1 confess that I feel no fears at all. 1 dreaded the Cholera much more, and hope and trust we will be guided through our difficulties sooner than we expect." "Stand by your country at all hazard, and I will never desert you. Yours with sincere affection." The Augusta Chronicle, of the 22d ult, says " We learn that twelve companies of the United States troops are on their march from the South West to the Arsenal in this place, from whence it is sup posed they will leave for Charleston. These compa nies, if full, would amount to 600." The Richmond Whig mentions that Western Vir ginia is in favor of the President's Proclamation. It states also, that Mr. Tazewell was about to publish in the Norfolk Herald, a review of that document, as a refutation. Native Gold. In a discussion which took place in Congress, on the 19th ult. on a bill to establish As say Offices in the gold region, Mr. Carson stated that in 1830, the gold found in xorth Carolina amounted w SOO00 dollars.

Almost every eye in the Union is fixed on the move- ments of Virginia, Press after Press com me its up- on ?er 4uties an,J ner measures. The interest she t pTCites is uprv intones Some ofthe Federal narjers to the North char-tre her with arrogance. Some accuse her of an attempt to play the Umpire. But she has never assumed this office. Others charge her even with presump tion, in wishing to mediate between the contending parties. Mr. Walsh draws hair-breadth distinctions on the occasion and avers that, "strictly speaking, Virginia cannot mediate ; that she can only intercede, interfere, interpose or intermeddle." Thw is triflinc refinement. It is well understood irr wnnt lirriit she ' places herselfnot as w guaranteeinVnbt as "as- on ult in the centre of the great European powers, she is des-1 tined (said the sagacious Abbe Correa) by her very position always to have great weight among her sis ter States. She stands as a bold promontory between two contending oceans; and I trust she will suceess lully stay the silent encroachments of the one. and the disturbed and restless movements of the other. 'Let ner act as becomes her with moderation, but with firmness. Let her not countenance th nn -- h- indirection of the doctrines of Nullificationthat mule remedy, which is neither one thing nor t'other or ra th r that masked Medusa, which speaks peace' when u means not peace ; out let ner seek also to press upon her sister States in General Convention, such amendments as will present successful bulwarks for the Rights of the Statea, and secure a minority from tne tyrannous domination ol interested majorities, and from tne oppressions and exactions ot selhjsh legisla tion." But there are other reasons which a'pplv with still peculiar and irresistible force to her situation. Her locality gives her every inducement to preserve this Union. If divided, she will probably become a fron tier State the battle-crround nerhans of three new confederacies worse even than was the Northumber land of old England. She finds in this relative situ ation the strongest reason, and with all liberal men, the best apology for our intermediation. Let us make peace, then, and save 'he Union. Our own interests combine with those of all America to call upon us for this patriotic effort. In what shape this effort will be made, it is irhpos sible for us to say. It would require the spirit of Di vination itself to predict what course our Legislature will pursue. There are so many projects before t hem so many clashing views such a diversity of politi cal interests. We had hoped, that the course was marked out before us by a pencil of light that we should have protested in the strongest terms against the Tariff and instructed our Senators, &c. to urge its immediate reduction that we should have repro bated in the most decided manner the remedy of Nul lification, and respectfully requested South Carolina to suspend her Ordinance, and await the result of another combined effort for removing the evil of which the whole South complains That we should re-assert in the most emphatic terms our Resolutions of '99 protesting most firmly and distinctly against so much of the Proclamation, as clashes with the 3d Re solution of '99, respecting the origin of the Federal compact, and the right of the States to Judgp and in terpose for arresting the evil declaring at the same time, that the South Carolina doctrine is an illegiti mate and a dangerous inference from this resolution. But whilst such are our own views views, which we express with all the deference which becomes us, but which at this time we owe it to our fellow citizens frankly to express We have no idea that they will perfectly agree with the opinions of any one. We can scarcely hope, from the. vast variety of views we have heard expressed, that they can square with the opinions of a majority of the Legislature and, in act, we should deceive our readers, n we attempted to form any anticipations of the course which will be ultimately adopted. I lme alone can solve the pro blem. PUBLIC MEETING. - A Trenton, Jones County, N. C. Jan uary 5, 1832. ta numerous and respectable meeting of the citi zens of this County, convened at the Court House, to take into consideration the subject of Nullification, the bouth Carolina Convention, and the President's Pro clamation: On motion ofRisden M. McDaniel, Esq., Doctor J. r. LaKoque was called to the Chair, and bredenck oscue, isq. appointed Secretary, anil James E. LaRoque, assistant Secretary. A Com mittee was appointed by the Chair, consisting of the following gentlemen, to prepare a suitable preamble and resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting: Messrs. Simmons Harrison, W' m. Gooding, Risden M. McDaniel, Frederick Foscue, and John Jones, Esqrs. The committee after having retired a short time, reported the lollovving preamble and reso lutions, which were unanimously adopted. We a portion ol the People, obeying the admoni tions of the father of his country, deem it our sacred duty to discountenance whatever may suggest even a suspicion that our national Union can in any event be abandoned, and to indignantly frown upon the most systematic effort to alien a portion of our country from the rest, and to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together its various parts. Therefore Resolved, 1 hat we consider the Union of our country as ever dear and ever to be preserved, even at the sacrifice ot considerable interest. Resolved, That we disapprove the proceedings of the nullification party lately assembled m convention in bouth Carolina, as hasty and premature, and the laws passed m pursuance of the Ordinance, by the Legislature, as tyrannical, arbitrary and prescriptive, and tending directly to a dissolution of the Union. Resolved, I hat we approve the President's Procla mation, and that we will cordially support him in eve ry constitutional measure necessary for the execution of the laws, and for maintaining the integrity of the Union ; that we still fervently pray the Divine good ncss to avert the that in our iudgment on the part of the;:President of the United States, if lorcible resistance be made to the laws, to see never theless, that the laws be duly executed. Rtsolved, That the best interests of our country, demand a gradual reduction of the Tariff to the stan dard of revenue, as proposed by the President in his message to the present Congress. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman, and Secretaries, and pub lished in the Newbern Sentinel, and Spectator, the Raleign papers, v ashington Globe, Richmond Ln quirer, and all other papers friendly to the cause.

The author says in the outset: " It is our intention to prove " 1st. That we have always been inferior in this sci ence of Naval Architecture to the French and Span iards, and latterly to the Americans- "2d. That our ship builders and navy board did not pay that attention tofhe lessons which we received from our enemies, and seldom copied from the superi or models captured from the enemy. " 3d. That although other nations were always in advance of us in this science, that laterly our ship builders have retrograded, instead of having advanced in their construction of ships of war." Some of the opposition papers in England are very severe upon the Grey Ministry tor the course adopted towards Holland. The Guardian ofthe 15th of Nov. has a long editoriatarticle upon the Embargo, wh;c" it denounces as unjtfst, impolitic and absurd. Among the possible consequences, the following is, given, to illustrate the fault of the British Government es tablishing the blockade of the Dutch ports. N.- Y. Standard.

With a view to enable him to proceed summarily in the case, he en iorsed lone of the notes over to the other, brought his action against the debtor who becom ing acquainted with the unlawful means used to effect his imprisonment, immediately commenced a suit against Lovering, and at the session of the Court in Norfolk County, obtained a verdict of four hundred and fifty dollars damages."

A correspondent ofthe Jour nal of Commerce, on board the frigate Constellation, dated Sept. 22, gives the following account 6f the Sultan, written after a journey to Constantinople : "Under the kind auspices of commodore Porter, to whose hospitable attentions we are greatly indebted, we had a fine opportunity of seeing the Grand Sul tan. It was in the field where he is in the habit, on certain days of the year, of practising at archery and this being the day we repaired to the field. The monarch soon arrived on horseback, surrounded by several me ;bers of his court. Observing us, and being informed that we were Americans, he sent an officer to invite us nearer to the spot an invitation which brought us within a few feet of his person. Altera few shots from a few members ofthe court, he descended from his horse, and took the bow, which he drew with astonishing energy, for his third arrow the last which he sped-vvent 856 yards. The distance is incredible, but we saw it measured, and could served to us that this was one of their ancient cus toms, an amusement which he occasionally indulged in. He inquired ol' commodore Porter, who had beert ill, respecting his health, and observed to him and Captain Reed that heshoul l be, happy in seeing our men of war at Constantinople. He spoke in praise of a model of of a ship which Mr. Eckford had iustsent to his palace, and ordering us some mats in vited us to be seated, and treated us to some excellent coffee and ice cream. His manner was very easy and affable, and nothing but the attentions of those around, showed that we were in the presence of the Grand Sultan. We left, soon after, having made as handsome, a bow as lay in .ur power. The Sultan appears to be about fifty years of age his person is stately, with a muscular, firm set forma tion. His eye is full of fire his lips betray firmness the prevailing expression of his countenance is indicative of care, fortitude, and energy. His dress was simple. He wore a red cap, shaped precisely like a hat without a' brim, with a blue tassel hang ing from the centre of the crown. His Coat was a blue roundabout, with a narrow, upright collar, and buttoned close about him. His pantaloons were of the same color, cut alter our fashion, with narrow straps running under a square-toed boot. His sword, which hung easily at his side, had a gold scabbard, ami a belt blazing with diamonds. His horse was a truly, noble an mal, and most richly capurisoned. 1 he headstall of the bridle was studded with jewels, and the stirrups of the embroidered sad dle were of massive gold.

It can soon be united with the chief corps of the army, in case the prince of Orange, moves forward. & The ten French baterries will be completed with ffuris,- &c, to-night, and are expected. to open on the citadel to-morrow. ; There is great apprehension that the firing ffoin. the fort Montebello will produce a bombard ment of tin town. By-vssels, Dec. 1, 6 P. M. It was Lt. Col. Auy ray, of Marshal Gerard's staff, who bore the summons to Chasse, accompanied by a single trumpet. His reception was cold, but civil, and the answer in the negative: "Tell the Marshal, said he, that I shall bury mysel f under the ruins of the citadel. As to the neutrality of the city I promise nothing that will be regulated by circumstances and events.". From Portugal the news is unfavorable for Don Pedro. Don Miguel had succeeded with his baiteriev n closing up the passage of the river to Oporto.

The writs not being returnable till 29th January, there will be no session till February. Meantime, the country will be agitated from one ex treme to the other, with warmly contested elections.
