LATEST FKOM ENGLAND. The packet ship Pacific, at New York, brings Liverpool papers to the 171 h and London to the IGth ult. The article of English intelli gence which first strikes the eye, is the announcement of Me death of Mr. Huskisson, on account cf which melancholy event the columns of the Liverpool papers of the 17th are in mourning. This 'distinguished statesman expired on the evening of the 15th, in consequence of wounds that day received by being run over by one of the Liverpool and Man chester railway carriages. The par ticulars arc related at great length in the Liverpool journals and some pets sages of their accounts are placed a niong our extracts. Our readers are aware that great preparations had been made for the opening of the great railway between Liverpool and SlanchcstiT, which is now near e nough completion for all purposes of commerce and travelling. The 15th of September was the day appointed for the ceremony, and the Duke of Wellington, Prince Estei hazy, and a great number of the most distinguish ed men of the kingdom, had assem bled at Liverpool by invitation to be present on the occasion. The cere mony was conducted with great splendour, and was witnessed by an immense multitude. The carriages prepared for the procession were twenty eight in number, and were capable of accommodating eight hun dred persons. At seventeen miles from Liverpool, the engines were stopped to take in a fresh supply of fuel, and during the delay several gentlemen descended from the car riages, with the purpose of walking on the road and examining its con struction. Among the number was JMr. Huskisson. He was returning to the carriage, and had approached that pirt where Mrs. Huskisson was sitting, when catching the rye of the. Duke of Wellington, a recognition followed, and Mr. Huskisson ad vanced to take the other's extended hand. "While in the act of shaking hands, herald sounds announced the approach of the Rocket engine rm the opposite rail. A cry of danger was instantly raised, and Prince Es terhazy was helped into the carriage. Mr. Huskisson remained outside, and several voices exclaimed, fcome in' 'take care, Mr. Huskisson.' The un fortunate gentleman became flume !, and rapidly caught hold of the door, but unhappily in endeavoring to as cend he missed his footing, and fall ing to the ground, part of his person extended on the other rail. The Rocket coming up at the instant, went over his leg and thigh, and fractured them in a most dreadful manner. The whole was the work of a moment An instant previous lie was in the full possession of health and spirits: he now lay mangled and bleeding before his friends. To pourlray the scene that followed would be impossible. Medical gen tlemen immediately flew to his assis tance, and he was conveyed to a neighboring house, where every at tention was bestowed. But the wounds he had received were of such character as allowed no hope of his recovery, and he expired the same evening about nine o'clock. A great dinner was to have succeeded the railway jaunt, and it had been confidently anticipated that their meeting at that festival might be the means of effecting a total and cordial reconciliation between the Duke of Wellington and Mr. Huskisson. In the death of this distinguished indi vidual, England has lost an intelli gent, honest and intrepid statesman, and the cause of free trade an able, consistent, intelligent and indefatiga ble advocate. Of English news, beyond the a- bove fatal event, and the account of the Liverpool market, which we co py, there is not much. The Duke of Ikunswick, after having followed the example of the ex-Kins: of France, in provoking his expulsion from his do minions, reached London on the 15th. We place among our extracts some account of the Brunswick revolution or insurrection. Liverpool Co I ion Mar kef, Sept. 17. -The sales of Cotton last week were on a limited scale, only 9,100 bales having found buyers, (Uplands nt 6i a 7J, Orleans 6 a 8, Alabama 5i a The quantity offered during the week was considerably more than the demand reauirp.fi. nnd thf mIp made were at a reduction of 1-3 per iu, uie previous currency; about 2000 of the uplands were on specula tion, and the import of the week was 7000 bales. Thus far this week the business has been equally limited, and the sales for five days past arc 4200 bales, at the decline noticed. INVOLUTION IN liltUNSVVICK. Dover, Sept. 14. Arrived the Sovereign steam vessel, from Calais, with Ins Royal Highness the Duke of Bruns wick, his Secretary, and one servant, who appears the only domestic in charge of his Royal llighness's carriage, which did not appear overbtirthened, hav ing been obliged to quit the Duchy of Brunswick in great haste. I J is Royal Highness landed at one o'clock on the quay, under a salute from the guns at the heights, where the Royal Standard was immedi ately hoisted and went to Wright's Hotel, where he con tinued until six, when his Royal Highness left Dover for Lon don, saluted as on his arrival. From the best information we have been able to collect upon the subject, it appears thai 'neat dissatisfaction had been expressed for some days on the score of taxation, but nothing serious was apprehen ded until the night of the Gth inst. The Duke had gone to the Theatre, and during his stay numerous bodies of the people were collecting in dif ferent parts in ihe route from thence to the 1 alace, but al though there was much mur muring, no act of violence took place until his Royal Highness had quitted the performance and was on his return to the I'alncc when his carriage was attacked with stones and other missiles, and loud cries of "No taxes," were heard cverv inst ant. The Duke reached the Palace in safety; but the clam or still continuing, (ten. Harts burgh was dispatched to head the Guards, but he found the soldiers were more inclined to assist than molest the populace, and after every persuasion had been used, and which continued thro' the night, the Duke is said to have left the Palace with his Aid de Camp, believed to be a Frenchman, and rather ob noxious as such to the Germ ans, and placed himself at the head of the troops; but the in surrection increasing, ami sov era! shots having been fired, one of them which killed the horse of the Aid do Camp, the Duke was under the necessity of fighting his way through, particularly as the 1 alace had been fired by an enraged mob, ami was burnt to the ground. His Royal Highness and the Aid de Camp were separated in the affray, the former making the best of his way to Han over, and from thence to Ghent and Calais; whilst the latter, having procured a fresh horse, succeeded in reaching Ham burg, where he embarked oh board the William Jolille steam vessel, on Saturday last, and reached Gravcseud yesterday evening. France, From France,. the tenor of the news is of an a greeable character. The waves of tl ic political sea are rapidly subsiding, and its surface pro mises soon to be as tranquil as the storm that agitated it was grand. The dates from Paris are to the 14th, inclusive. The Messager des Chambrcs of that day mentions that a courier, who left St. Petersburg on the 25th August, had brought the news that the Emperor of Rus sia had issued orders to admit vessels bearing the tri-coloured flag; and a passage is also given from a letter dated the 29th idem, which states that a ship under that flag had arriveu ai Cronstadt, and in compliance with the order spoken of, had been received. The intention of the Emperor of Russia was said to be, in relation to the re cognition of the new govern ment, to act in conformity with the other European powers. The Constitutionnel of the 13th mentions that the govern ment had that day received of ficial news of the recognition, bv the Court of Vienna, of Lou- ; Pl.Hm Thn Cabinet of i o j- i j j ' -' Madrid had likewise issued an order to admit the tri-colored flag into the ports of Spain, though the haughty and super cilious terms in which it is ox- pressed sufficiently manifest the unwillingness with which it was decreed. It is as follows: "His Catholic Majesty, for the present; and until farther orders, lias resolved to tolerate the thr.ee colored flag on board of French vessels entering the ports of the Peninsula." The disturbances among the working people and lower classes ot Paris appear to be pretty nearly at an end. Ord er seems, with few and trivial interruptions, to be effectually restored. The Constitution nel of the 13th says, there are no longer in l1 ranee any ele ments but of order and peace. The committee appointed to conduct the examination of the ex-ministers had not yet made their report. In the mean while, the rigor of their confine ment had been in a measure relaxed, and they had been al lowed to meet together. A strict surveillance, however, was exercised over them. The uomination of Talley rand excites various feelings in Paris and is commented on in very different ways. The pre vailing sentiment, however, is disapprobation. It is a singular fact, (says the Court Journal) but one which we know to be true, that at the moment when the application for permission to reside in Austria is being made to the Emperor by Charles X. another proposal is under con sideration, for marrying young iVapoleon to one of the daugh ters of Louis Philip, and, in such evenr, recommending his nomination as King of Greece, with a regency for three years. This contemplated stroke of policy has, however, been kept as secret as possible. The National Guards of France, Lafayette for- their chief, carry France on the points of their bayonets. This enormous army contains, by a reasonable estimate, from 800, 000 to 1,000,000 men, self or ganized self oflicered with duties so frequent as to keep them almost constantly under arms; and at all events, such as, with their degree of discipline and of esprit le corps, renders them a distinct and independ ent body in the state, a body with which no other can reas onably think of contending. Netherlands. -The news from the Netherlands does not m.-i to nally vary the former face of xl. -I mmgs in mat country. The people continued in an extreme ly unquiet state, nor was there any very near or definite pros pect of tranquility being resto ed.

(in whirli day inclusive we have intelli- i . t gence uoin from Brussels aud the Hague.) and it is not alto- o-cther improbable that the measures which will be adopted by that body may have the effect to reduce affairs to order. The speech of the King, on the occasion of opening the session, is as vague in its terms as royal speeches usually are; yet it is not without expression which may be taken to signify tl. sentiments of the monarch tLr. (TMiiornl course to be us iu inu' . pursued. Germany. In Germany a revolution or insurrectionary spirit had shown itself. An ac count of the Brunswick revolu tion will be found among our extracts. In Hanover there had been riotous proceedings, and in Hamburg some distur bances, but not of a very serious character had taken place. The ground of complaint was an in crease iu taxes on rents. It is mentioned in Berlin let ters to the Gth September, that Count Diebitscb had arrived in that city on his way to Paris, commissioned by the Emperor of Russia to congratulate Louis Philip on his accession to the throne of France. Spain. With regard to Spain it is very obvious that a revolu tionary movement is preparing. The Gazette be France gives an article under date of Pan, Sept. 7, which states that Span ish exiles are flocking thither in great numbers, and that su perior officers who served for merly under Minn, had gathered together on the frontier, to con cert with other Spaniards from Navarre and Arrajjon. Mina had left Paris to join them. A paragraph dated Bayonnc, Sept. fth, states that many Spa niards had arrived there, that J s turits and Torrijos were ex pected. Colonel Valdcz was chief pro tcm. It was thought they designed entering Spain on the 15th Sept. In the mean while, it is stated that Ferdi nand and his Counsellors are devising means to publish a Charter on the plan of that of Louis 18th, and in the first place to recall the exiles. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1830. (QThe General Assembly of this State will convene at Raleigh, on Monday next. The election of a U. S. Senator in the place of Mr. Ire dell, and of a Public Treasurer in the place of Mr. Robards, both of whom have declined a re-election together with the Bank Question, the University, &c. are the prominent to pics which will probably first engage attention. With regard to the Uni versity, we earnestly hope that the members, in their zeal. to secure the convenient and economical education of the children of-the rich, may not entirely overlook the claims and the wants of the poorer classes of society.
