The law under which the late Fire Company acted, having been foumi ipadeicjuaf to the forming of an iirlcient:body of rrien for the purpose of extinguishing tiny Fire which might oc ,cur in the city, application was made by 'theCommissioners of the City for a neW act, which was passed accordingly, and is published in todayV Register. " A meet ioe of the Citizens will be held at the Court House oo Saturday next, for the pur pose of forming a Company, agreeably to the direction of said act. It is hoped that a sufficient number of active citizens will vol ifyteer their services ; if not, such as mav be .deficient, will Tdc drafted for, from an Ehrofment prepared for the occa sion. r . ' , We have just heard, that a most atro clous murder was perpetrated on Friday evening last , on the body of John Clifton, ;juilhe southeastern part of this county. One of his own rspj;roes is suspected of the dectl, The. inurderer effected his diaboli cal design, with an axe, by a stroke from winch' the scull was laid almost entirely open. - The negro suspected has been brought to the Jail of this city. 1 When arrested, lie was on! ered'io surrender any knife or other weapon he had about him. He im meitsately drew forth a knife and endea vored to coftjmit suicide, by cutting his throat He made a pretty, large incision, but the w.und having been sewed up, we learn no Apprehensions of a fatal issue are entertained. . As might have been expected, the cor respondence between Mr. M'Dufne, and ; Mr. Metcalfe growing out of. some state ment made in the communication of the farmer eentleman-to the Calhoun commit tee, resulted inat challenge from Mr. M' Duffie to Mr. Metcalfe. It appears Jipw- ever, they cannot agree on the terms of the combat and Neither being disposed to gtye way, the matter for the. present at least is liushed, up. Mr. Metcalfe beins; the challenged party, claimed as a privi lege, the selection of weapons, &c Judge Clarke his second, informed Major Hamih ton," the friend of Mr. M 'Duffie, that the reapbns to be used mustbe Rifles at the distance of ninety feet. Maj. Hamilton declined thia mode, stating: that Mr. M' ftuflicyin a previous duel, ?had the bone of his lei t arm broken, (anibtpfi nerves and nfuscles so essentially jfyiireu, as in a con siderable, degree to destiOystiiuscular ener gy. Considering the pistol as the' appro priate weapon for deciding controversies of this 'character, Maj. H. informed him he would agree to no other. , Several com- f nunications passed, in one of which the h broad sword, wa( proposed on the part of Mr. Xetcalfeut Mr. M'DumVs friend, thinking the pistol admitted of equality in every respect declined other weapons, & Mr. Metcalfe refusing to accede to the use of the pistol, theaffair terminated. The" Virginia Conference, will hold , its nest annual meeting, to commence on the 27th February, 1 8&8, in this City. A re solution was passed, at its recent session, requesting every Preacher attached to the Conference,: to make a collection on the 4thfof July next, in aid of. the American Colonization Society, Alan election held in 'Tallahassee, Flo rida, on the 21 st January, David Ochiltree, late ofyJPayetteville, in this State, was c lectedintendant offtliat Citv. The ayetteyiilObservcr announces that John Gilchrist, Esq. the very respect able Senator from Robeson 'county in our last State Legislature, has yielded to the .Hicitations f his friends and become a Candidate to' represent that district in the xt Congress of the Ufas.; Owing to 'the scarcity of Corn, inthis section of country, ho doubt many expedi ents will be adopted to prevent its consump tiort.; We -yesterday heard of one, which we trust, for the credit of the State and for the sake of humanity, stands alone butwe think it ought to be mentioned, that travT ellers may be put on their guard. A gen tleman shopped at a house in an adjacent county, which promised' ' entertainment for man7 and beast," and requested that his horse might be fed. Before ordering him out to resume his journey, he went to the stable to see how he fared, and was surpris ed to find, that though there was a suffi ciency of corn and fodder before him, he had eaten nothing. He was at a loss to account for-this voluntary abstinence, and on putting his hand into the trough to as certain the cause, he found the bottom of it nicely coated with fresh tar! It was spread on sd.thinly as to be imperceptible to the eye, but it is known that the horse has such great antipathy tb this substance, that he will touch nothing impregnated with if. Congress adjourned of necessity on Sat urday night last. At our lasf dates, there was a vast amount of unfinished business. The House of Delegates of Virginia has decid-ed a second time, by a vote of 162 to 5, that Mr. Biliups is not constitutionally eligible to a seat in the Legislature. A splendid Ball was given in New-York, on the 22d ult. at whieh, it was said, two thousand ladies and gentlemen attended, for the doubly pa'noiic purpose of' honor ing the birthday of the father of his coun try and for contributing to the fund, which the citizens of that place are accumulating to alleviate the distresses of the suiTeriri" Greeks, and if possible, to accelerate their march to freedom and independence. Foreign. After an interval of nearly sixty days, it will be seen by reference to the Foreign head, that we have advices from Liverpool to tiie 1 Gib January. The Duke of York, heir apparent 1o the Th rone of Britain, s dead, aged 64. He whs the most dissipated of England'slioyal sons, and yet Sir Walter Scott in his eu !ogy jor him, talks of the, purity of his religions feeing s. As' there is no saliqne law i England, the late Duke of Keht?s daughter will; if she outlives the present King, be Queen of the realm. In'Jfailure of her or her issye, the Duke of Sussex will be King of England, and Elector of Harjover. His wife however, will not be Queen, for by "an ex-post facto law she is not recognized, not being of royal descent. The Dutchess was Lady Augusta Murray, daughter of L- rd On n more, in colonial days. Governor of Virginia. The Duke of Wellington, who is now Master of the Ordnance Departmehtand one of the Cabi net, it is said, s to be r,nrnmrindHr in Chief. The "London Ledger" of the 1 2th Jan. states that a naval armament is to proceed to the West Indies, consisting of 5 sail of the line, one 50 gun ship and 2 frigates, under Sir Thomas Harding. The block ade of the Havnnna is said to be the ob ject. The English papers consider thia measure as calculated to engender ill-will, between this government and Britairif The Lfd-rer observes - MTh block-ade of Cuba mnv, and. no jloubt wdf, createa good deal of bad feel ing "n .the part of the Government of the United Slates of North America, for their trade with that Island is fully as necessa ry to their military Navy, as .the Newcas tle coal trade is to that of the United Kingdoms; 4ut still the position into which the conduct of the bigotted Government of Ferd inand has placed his. Majesty's Minis ters," ought to form a perfect excuse to the United States of Nurth America, for the necessity of, during a season, catting off their lucrative trade with the Havannah. Still, however, should it not, the British Navy is perfectly sufficient to supply them with piern roany convincing arguments of the adraritages which will result to Eng land from the vigorous measures now hap- py auopteu.' A dreadful explosion took place on the 2d January, at Port au Prince. It was occasioned by driving hails into- some bar rels, to secure the hoops, at the Arsenal, a building of immense size.. The sparks communicated to 4000 Ibs of powder, by which the Arsenal was blown into the air. and with it forty.men, ; including oncers, guards and workmenvwhose remains were swhereil,200 yards distant from the awful scenev ? Therewcre in the Arsenal 0,000 itana oi arms ana 200,00a weightof coffee. The loss is eitimated at . three millions of dollars.. President Hoyer had left the Ar senal a ver short tinse before the explosion, in time, says the wriier, to save tis from a terrible revolution." The Press in- France, seems placed un der the most degrading surveillance, the tendency of which is to neutralize all the advantages to be derived from the most powerful of all engines, in the cause of ra tional liberty. A' part of this despoticsys tem ordains, that no work of twenty sheets and under shall be published until five days after copies have been deposited at the Direction de la Libraire, nor vany work o ver twenty sheets till ten d;iys. The French papers speak" of it in the strongest terms as inimical to every prin ciple of justice andliberty, 'and subversive of legislative and commercial interests. v I he Constitutionalist, a Fnch paper, states, on the authority of a correspondent at Toulouse, of Dec. 29, that Ferdinand had abdicated in consequence f a revolt headed by the Monks, in favor of his broth- er Dori Carlos ! . New Mail Arrangements. It affords us pleasure to learn, that the Proprietors of the Norfolk and Fayetteville Stages are making preparation for an additional trip per week'on this route, so that they will, at terthe 1st of April proximo,leave this place on the mornings succeeding the arrival of the Augusta Stages, viz : on Sundays, Wednesdays, awl Fridays. In connec tion with this line, also, the proprietors of the new .line from Norfolk to Philadelphia will put another boat on the Chesapeake, with which addition they will be abV, with easer to make three trips psr veek between those places. We also learn with pleasure, that it is more than probable we shall shortly have a stage six times a week between this place and Augusta, instead of three times, as at present. ' ? The excellent head of the Post Office Departn ent l.jys us under ne?v obligations lor these changes, which are calculated to add so essentially to the convenience of cor respondence and travelling in this part of the country.

We copy from the Georgia prints, some papers which seem to have rather a menacing as pect. We do not believe, however, that any thing serious will come of it. We are ourselves iw possession of a letter from a gentleman in Georgia, to his friend in this city, dated 17th ultimo, which satis fies us that the whole affair will end ami cably. The following is an extract from it : Since writing the above, I had a con versation with Col. Samuel A. Bailor, who has just returned, and completed his sec ond mission to the Little Prince. He says I may state, that he, the L.P. and the na tion, are perfectly reconciled and satisfied with the survey of the lands, and that their only object was to protest against the sur vey, for the purpose of having a legal claim (so far as that would effect it,) on the U, States, for the navment f thf V the Iand west of the now treaty line, and if any difficulty ensues, it will be effected by the United States' Government. Nat. Int. Banks, $c It appears by the report of the Comptroller, made to the Legislature, that there are in the state of New-York thirty-eight banks, forty-seven insurance companies, thirty-five manufacturing com panies, and one lombard association. The total amount of capital employed bv these companies, is 838,161,587; and the amount of taxes assessed and collected from them, is 8132,152. VERY LATE FROM ENGLAND. Norfolk, Feb. 26. To the very polite attention of Captain Crabtree, of the fast sailing regular packet ship Richmond, which arrived in Hampton Roads on Saturday evening last, in 37 days from Liverpool, we are indebted for naners of that city from the 1 Uh to the 1 6th Janu- "j iy imv.u uianc sume interesting extracts , His R.

Bil ling's Liverpool Advertiserof 6th January, observes - c v " Nothing definitive.is yet known as to the state of the negotiation wirh Spain. The rumours in general are of a warlike nature, and there is really reason to fear that Ferdinand will risk a War rather than accede to the just claims of this country & of Portugal. The Quotidienne, a French ultra paper, and the organ f the Apesto licals, states positively, that Ferdinand has rejected 4he demands of the British gov ernment with more firmness than civility : and the London Courier, a paper likely, to be well acquainled-with the matter, sneaks of the stale of the negociations as inost'tiit i satisfactory. It lfftated that the church, the only body possessed of wealth in Spain, has offered to support Ferdinand withal! its treasures and its influence. & an arm v esti mated at from 8 to 10,000 men is issem- bling on the frontiers of Portugal. This looks more like warthnn peacW We stated some weeks since, that the King of Fiance had caused it to be com municated to our government that he had formally apprised Ferdinand of his deter mination to recall the Swiss troops if he persisted in a course of conduct towards Portugal, such as 'England and France must equally disapprove of. The policy of Ferdinand, subsequently to receiving that intimation, hag certainly not been conformable to the just expectations of the two Powers above named ; and it followed as a matter of course, that whatwas threa tened was executed. It need not surprize us therefore, to learn, that positive orders have beep sent to Madrid, for the return of the Swiss troops immediately or that Ferdinand, prepared for such orders, has calculated, we will no say with what pru dence, upon the consequences. .It is evi dent he considers himself strong e.nofjgh trs setJ)oih England ami France, at defiance while every step he takes in the desperate path of resistance, will only render future adjustment more difficult or more humilia ting. -New Times. various are the accounts from Greece. Nothing however, appears to warrant the belief that their affairs are in a worse state than when our form' accounts left ther One account states tnaf instructions had been scut to Jhe Internal Internuncio at Constantinm. to take an active part in me neociuUoii.s set on toot with the Di van, by the Ambassadors of Enghmd and France, relative to the affairs of Greece. The most important preliminary wax the cessation of hostilities between "the Turks and Greeks and it was believed that point had been agreed to. . Greece Important. The . following is extracted from the London Times : tThpre is at length good cause for congratulating Europe on the adoption of a final and le cisive measure in behalf of Greece by the three great Powers of Great Britain,France, and Russia. The Cabiners of London and St. Petersburg had some time ao, trans mitted their ultimatum to Turkey on this subjectj The Court of the iliuilieries has acceded to the policy within the last fortnight, and resistance by Turkey to their joint demands is wholly out of the question. The point insisted on amounts Jo nothing less than a full recognition by the Porte the absolute and entire indepen dence of the Greek nation, which recogni tion is to -be .officially communicated to the parties requiring it by a given dy : failing which, the ambassadors of the alli ed Christian Courts are, on that same day, simultaneously to quit Constantinople, Consuls were, at the expiration of the ulti matum, to be sent to Greece from Eni-- usid, France, and Russia. , MEXICO.
