'j'iic groiiads on which Mr.
JAVilsoti attempted to contra
viMic the resolution, we believe,
vere, that its design was to nc
VmipHsh an object which, re
olveil itself into a question as
t iJo constitutionality and cx
p.'.jiency of the work, both of
ul.i -h were doubtful. Ho also
th uiiit it a very inauspicious
'lime to'apply o Congress for
aid in a work of that character.
The opinions and wishes of the
venerable Chief Magistrate of
the Union, on the subject of In-1
tenia! Improvement, made
known in his Veto, and in his
more recent message to Con
gress, he presumed, were suffi
cient to convince the Senate of
this fact. The President
thought the power to make lo
cal appropriations doubtful and
.the policy bad; and had there
fore, very properly recommen
ded an amendment to the Con
stitution, Ify which the question
shull be settled, declaring, at
phe same time, his dctermina
jtion to withhold his assent
jfrom all appropriations not
; clearly authorised by the Con
jstitution. He had also wisely
j determined to pay otT the na
tional debt as speedily as prac
ticable; and if Congress, as it
was to be hoped would be the
'I case, should second his views,
lit was a useless waste of time
Uosit here framing requests for
; boons which, .under such cir
cumstances, icould not, and
could not be granted. Mr. W.
further remarked, that gentle-
men had no doubt formed their
opinions on the subject, and no
j discussion to which it might
lea J, would probaly change
J them; and he, therefore to pre
j vent any further unnecessary
I consumption of time, hoped the
question would be taken, as he
i wished, too, to record his vote
! against it.
j Board if Internal Improvement.
The Udieiglt Star observes: The
bill in abolish the Board of Internal
Improvement, and appoint a Superin-
, tencient of Public Works, it will be
: seen, was rejected in the Senate. But
' that brand) of the Legislature refused
j to agree to a proposition of the other
j House, to elect a Board for the ensu-
i mg year; thereby evincing their un-
I 'Willingness that the Board should
! any longer exist. Their reason for
j rejecting the bill, it is believed, was
, that they considered it inexpedient to
; appoint a Superintendent of Public
i Works, provided for therein."

Melancholy. On Wednes
day last, a young woman, the
daughter of the late Win. Eth
ridge, was drowned in Swifi
creek, near Sanders' Mill, in
Johnston county. She, with a
sister and small brother, were
in a cart, attempting to cross
the creek at a bridge. The
water, from the heavy fall .of
rain, had overflown the low
ground, so as to cause them to
mistake the road and plunge
into deep water, which produ
ced the sad catastrophe. The
other sister and brother got safe
out. Ral. Register.
FOREIGN.
Six days later from London.
By the packet ship John Jay, arrived
at New-York, Liverpool papers to die
9lh Dec. and London, to the 7th,
have been received. Cotion was in
good demand at the last advices, but
had not improved in price. Flour
had advanced considerably in price.
The advices by this arrival had a
great effect upon the New-York pro
vision market, I lour, pork and beef
immediately advanced in price, but no
alteration was produced in the price of
Cotton. We have selected a few of
the most interesting political items.
The apprehensions in .France of
hostilities from the northern powers
seem to have subsided. The assur
ances given by the French Ministry,
thai they had received from thoe
power the most poilive and satis
factory explanations on the .subject,
have quieted the alarm which fur a
few days prevailed. The armaments
preparing- are ujot looked jjpon as
demonstrations of hostility, out a
measures of precaution entered into
from a natural distrust ot the conse
quences which may result from the
present agitated state of Europe, and
the obvious necessity of keeping on
foot fca force sufficient to preserve ihe
public tranquility. The determina
tion in France now seems to be, to
be prepared as well as her neigh
bors. Lord Ponsonby is to proceed from
England to Belgium, to negotiate for
the settlement of lielgic affairs, with
the sanction of the Jive great pow
ers. The London Courier of 4th Dec.
says, we hear from good authority
that the Emperor of Russia lias ad
dressed a Lucuiar to the dillerent
Courts of Europe, in which he stales
that no Ilussiau soldier shall pass the
frontier, except wilh ihe concurrence
of the Five Great Powers.
We find that the King of Holland
has accepted the damisiice proposed
by the live Powers, and gave orders
on the 23d and 24lh to the Dulci
troops to suspend hostilities by sea
and land, to raise the blockade every
where, and to evacuate all the places
which were not occupiod by the
Dutch before the treaty oi the 30th
of May, 1S14. Measures will be im
mediately taken to regulate the fron
tiers. The nclgic and Dutch govern
ments will each send two Commis
sioners to the spot, these Commis
sioners are not yet known.
Switzerland is in a state of Revo
lution. The population of several
cantons have risen inarms to demand
reforms Borne, the stronghold of
uie Swiss Aristocracr
.'ered by 12,000 armed peasants, who
have deposed the Government. ' Yu
nch and Arau are also surrounded by
the people in arms. What men de
mand with arms in tfieir hands,
must, of course, be granted, particu
larly in a country where there is no
standing army. This Involution,
under the very nose of Prince Met
ternich, must be a bitter draught. In
case of a war with France, ihe Heme
Aristocracy will no longer have the
povve.-to betray their county by con
niving at the violation of its neutrali
ty by Austria.
The Chamber of Deputies of France
haveagrced, by 211 votes to 71, to
take into pay the Jewish ministers of

IIE undersigned announces to his
former subscribers and the public,
that he will, in a few weeks, resume
the publication of the NORTH-CAROLINA
SENTINEL. He has
been induced to this determination by
the discontinuance of the paper on the
part of its late Editor, and the im
probability that its publication would
be undertaken by any other pprson.
He is already sufficiently familiar with
the responsibilities and inadequate
support connected with a Pi ess in
Newbcrn, and in again subjecting;
himself to their operation, he yields
more to a sense of du'y, than to any
hope of pecuniary emolument. His
expectations will be realized if the
business affords but a moderate profit;
and this, he trusts, will besecured by
the kindness of his friends.
That "the Sentinel may be rendered
more acceptable to its readers, '"the
Editor is making arrangements to is
sue it on an imperial sheet, .with a
handsome new type. If a correspon
ding improvement should not be ef
fected in- the general character of the
Paper, the deticieucy will be attribu

the Editor. His judgment, however
deficient, will be honestly applied to
the promolion of what he conceives
to be the public good.
