FURftW ENGLAND. The London Courier of June 1, says, "the question of the re cognition of South American Independence continues most anxiously to occupy public at tention, particularly in the city. We can venture to state, that previously to the close of the present session of parliament, a communication will be made on this question to the House -of Commons." The King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands have taken to England the bones of the cele brated Captain Cook, which will now be consigned to some suit able place of interment The King's travelling name is Tira Jiec Tirahee, which signifies Do of Dogs how her majesty is designated we have not yet heard. The editor of the New York Advocate tells us that his majesty respectfully declines being a member of the Holy.AI liance he smells a rat. Aspect of -Europe. The Morning: Herald, says: The state of the continent of Europe is at this moment, it not visibly agitated, yet pregnant with portentous events. The peninsula, we fear we might use the plural number and include Italy, presents only the halt-ex tingruished embers'of humanity Priestcraft, and its favorite a- cent, isrnorance, have burnt out every manly sentiment, and ev ery rational thought in the sou thern and western extremities of Europe, and nothing now re mains but frightful symptoms that human dignity has been. Fuit Ilium. It is not worth while to advert to the unnatural domestic war which rages in the Royal Family of Portugal, or of the royal baboon of Spain. France is the heart of Europe, and the centre of all hopes and fears. There, the favorite, the reigning project is, the restora tion of things as they were be fore Luther protested against Leo X. The Emperor of Rus sia is reprimanded for suffering his vast empire to exist in schism from the CatholicChurch of Rome, and he and his impe rial ally of Austria, are charged with provoking the judgments of heaven, by associating with the heretical King of Prussia. This project, wild as it really is, and repugnant as it appears to every principle of common sense, is warmly cherished by the fanatical Ultras, and by no means discountenanced by royal dignity. The only connection of the Bourbons with revolu tionized France is of a religious nature. The dictates of inte rest, the suggestions of policy, the voice of nature disowned them. Nothing was left them to cling to but superstition. In that alone could they surpass Napoleon, and in that they shine without a rival. But su perstition has overdone her part, and in France she is like ly to rim a course of furious ri ot. Sense and spirit are not ex nausted, though they arc tem- jjuiai uy overpowered in France. i nuy win yet have their dayof ttU...1,.i,u.iiu tueei;orts to which we nave alluded, will accelerat Its arrival." FRANCE. Accounts irom Par. State that on the 24th May, the Kins y1 France Was in a very alarm Stato. anri was considprprl hy his attendants to be in the iost imminent danger. The -T,fQ however, so onen " " cious, that.there. is Jess cause than would exist in that of any other individual for believing they will terminate fatally in the present instance. That the Kins; has had a new and severe attack of illness, is not doubted. J k. - .wnrP 1311.1- A new treaty has been con cluded between France and Spain, by which the army of oc cupation is to remain in the Pe ninsula till January, 1825. SPAIN. The private advices received in London, from Madrid, go very far to induce the belief that the King oi Spain was mumaie lvacauainted with, if not di rectly concerned in the recent plot in Portugal and as a cor roboration, it is affirmed that se veral Portuguese subjects were arrested in Madrid, on the same day that the Infant Don Miguel issued his rebellious prociama tion in Lisbon. The Kins: of Spain's amnestv Decree, instead of reconciling him with his people, or draw ins back a single exile now in n foreign land, widens the O ' breach still more, and most as suredly will drive the most va luable portion of the population out of the country. PORTUGAL. The London Sun of May 23, says the King of Portugal has authorised his representative at London, to negotiate with the Brazilian Commissary Genera Brans, for a reconciliation be tween the two countries. It was through the friendly auspi ccs of Great Britain and Austria On the late anniversary cf his birthday, the King of Portuga conferred several marks of dis tinction on the members of the Diplomatic body, and on the of- cers of the British and t rench hips of war in the Taeus. A- lg the favors enumerated, we ouservc tnat a meaai, witn t i ii . i the King's portrait set in dia monds, was presented to the A- merican Minister, Gen. Dear born ; the title of Count of 15cm posa, on mron liycie tie ieu ville, the title of Count of Mon- TT 1 -1 . T ta on the Duke of Villahermosa and Count of Cassilahs on Sir Mward Thornton (besides which, Sir Edward was pre sented with some crown lands for the term of three lives.) RUSSIA. The New-York Evening Post contains a most singular docu ment, in the shape of a Russian State Paper, concerning the at- airs of Greece, of which strong doubts are entertained of its jrenuineness. It made its first n - appearance at Bremen, in an un mciai snane. n u uisnua 1 1 T " A. JI-aIaAC the real views of Kussia, it seems the Holy Alliance intend to nursue the same course in re gard to Greece, as mey nave pursued towards Naples and Spain. The manitesto propo- ses terms ot pacmcauon, wnicn are to be "a just mean between exaggerated and opposing pre tensions, and which will insure to the Greeks guarantees now necessary; to the Turks useful and positive advantages in plate of a sovereignty liable to dis affection ana resistance:- or, in plain language uusaw n iu take Turkey into ner own nanas. The Russian JNavy now con sists of 70 shins of the line, 18 l"gates, 26 cutters, 7 Drigs, 54 sctiooners, 20 galleys, 25 float ing batteries, 121 gunboats, and ma-?143 other small armed vessels, guns, and manned with 33,000 sailors, 9000 marines, ana auuu artillery. TURKEY. A misunderstanding appears to have arisen between the Tur kish o-overnment and the Con suls of foreign powers at Con-' stantinople. The former wish ed to charter European vessels to convey their troops to the Morea, which the latter reiuseu on the ground of neutrality. The Cadiz papers contain an article from Odessa of the 11th of April, which states that in one day all the joreigners lounci in the coffee-houses and taverns at Constantinople, were compel led to enter on board the 1 urk- ish fleet, there to serve as com mon sailors against the Greeks. The affairs of the sultan must have reached a very low ebb when he resorted to a measure so impolitic as this. It cannot fail to embroil him with all na tions. Athens, Feb. 17. The re port of the capture of Lcpanto by the fcuiiotes, is a gross iaon cation. Missolunghi has been powerfully reinforced with mil- nitions of "war, provisions, etc. and is defended by regular, troops punctually paia. ine, Turks, notwithstanding reports! .11 i mi - to the contrary, are in quiet possession of Iegropont and Caristo, and the garrison of the latter make frequent sorties. ' GREECE. i The Greek government had addressed a communication to the European consuls at Smyr na, complaining of secret assist ance having been furnished to the Turks, and intimating that all vessels -found engaged in this practice, would be seized and condemned as lawful prizes. No opportunity is lost by the Greeks to annoy their oppres sors. Their vessels almost co vered the sea, and orders had been issued at Hydra, to capture all vessels belonging to the Vice roy of Egypt laden with sup plies for the Turkish fortresses. An article in the Augsburg Ga zette states the amount of the Greek army at 120,000 men, of which 40,000 were ready to march, and that the greatest iunanimity prevailed throughout the country. It was considered certain, owing to the difficulties felt by the Porte, that the long talked of expedition for the re conquest of the Morea, would never leave the Dardanelles. The Holy Alliance is said to have given up the idea of hold ing a Congress on the affairs of Greece, at the pressing solicita tion of their legitimate brother, the Grand Seignior, who re quests them to delay interfering until he had tried the effect of another campaign on the "re bels." It does not appear whe ther the Holy League have also abandoned their project as to bouth America. SOUTH AMERICA. Peru. Special advices were received and published at Car thagena from the Head Quar ters of Gen. Bolivar, dated in April, which give a flattering account of the state of the Re publican army in Peru; and an official account of the destruc tion of the Spanish squadron in the Bay of Callao, by a division of the Republican force. Mexico. -The Congress of Mexico has issued a decree de claring Don Augustin de Itur- bide a traitor, from the moment! he may appear in any part of the Mexican republic. . All per sons favoring his return, are al so to be declared traitors. Brazil. Advices from Ma ran ham have been received to the 11th June, by which it ap pears that on the 4th the natives, who are represented as hostile to the existing government ana to the Portuguese, had effected a nartial revolution. - Seven men were killed and several wound ed in an attack which the re- volters made on the members of the provisional government. The brother of the Governor was among the killed, and the Governor himself had fled or was sent to Rio. These distur bances, it is added, subsided by the partial success of the revolu tionists, and on the 11th June affairs at Maranham were in a tranouil state. Similar distur bances had occurred at Ceara, and other provinces; and the whole of the north coast ot lira zil was in an agitated state. fycst-Jtidies....A passenger in the Defiance, from Falmouth, Jam. informs the editors of the New-York Gazette, that there was an insurrection among the i blacks on the 17th, 18th and j 1 9th ult. at St. Mary's and se vcral other places on the island. They had committed some ex . ... .11 i cesses, out ne nau learned no narticulars. Martial law had been proclaimed. FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1824, We arc authorised to state that ROBERT POTTER, Esq. is a candidate to represent this town in the next General Assembly of this state. We are requested, by "Many Freeholders," to state -that a poll be opened, at the ensuing election, for Col. ANDREW JOYNER, to represent the county of Halifax in the Senate of the next General As scmbly. Wc arc requested, by "A Voter,' to make it known that ROBERT B. DANIEL is a candidate to re present this county, in the House of Commons, of the next General Assembly. DIED, in this town, on Tuesday, the 20th inst. after a short but se vere attack of inattention, the Presidential Question. This sud den death is supposed to have been occasioned by the attention of the people being suddenly called to consider which of the two gentle men (candidates) shall represent this town in the next General As sembly. Co m in unlcated. Crops. The late seasonable rains have revived the hopes and bright ened the prospects of the farmers and planters in this vicinity. We have conversed with several intel ligent gentlemen, and they all unite in saying, that the fields generally never presented a more cheering aspect than is now offered to the view of the agricultural part of the community. Proposals for a New Paper. Mr. M. W. Dunnavant, of Peters burg, has issued a Prospectus for publish mg, in Warrenton, a semi weekly paper, to be entitled the "Warrenton Reporter" and print- ed on a demi sheet, at three do! lars per year. It will be recollected, perhaps that a few weeks past we notice the receipt of a : communication signed "Piilo-A'uma," ar.d that we deemed it inadmissible, presu ming that any article, having a ten dency to ridicule the pretensions cf any cf the Presidential candidates would be unacceptable to most cf our readers. Our conduct was ob jected to, by some persons, proba bly from a misconception of our mr. fives. Although a mere novice Li me eaitonai department, it will be seen, by the following paragraph, taken from the last Raleigh Regi tpf tVint OUT" virmre i ! -3 . . , . o vuiutjuc, m this particular, with those of the re spectable and veteran editor of that paper: "We must decline the nuhl?. cation of Piiilo-Numa's pro- uuciion, ior ivvo reasons. TU first is, that it is in reply to a communication, which ori-inal-ly appeared in the "Halifax ree fress7 and which but ve ry few of our readers have seen. As an act of justice then, we should have to re-publish the ar ticle winch occasioned this an swer, a tax to which we do not feel disposed to subject our selves. In the second place its style is objectionable. AluV we are decidedly and warmly opposed to Gen. Jackson's elec tion as President, and would consider his success a great evil, still we do not wish to detract from his well-earned fame as a gallant soldier, or endeavor to lessen the value of his military services, by ridiculing achieve ments the splendor of which must be acknowledged by all." Washington, July 17...A re port has been put in circulation by some of the partizan prints, that the Attorney General was about to be charged, temporari ly, by the Executive, with the duties of Secretary of the Trea sury. We are authorised to state that this report is untrue, and that the President contemplates no such step; indeed the improv ed and almost restored health of the Secretary of the Treasury would now render such a mea sure entirely unnecessary, even had his former indisposition made its propriety at all pro? bable. We learn that doubts exist, whe ther the President has accepted the resignation, by Mr. Ed wards, of the embassy to Mex ico. The resignation, we have authority for saying, is accepted. Deportcd Slaves. ..The Board of Commissioners on the 31st ult. closed the testimony on both sides on the question of av erage value, and on the 14th inst. separated by mutual agree ment, for the purpose of arrang ing and digesting the document ary evidence which has been submitted to them, with an un derstanding that, unless more time should prove necessary, they are to meet again on the 24th of August next, and pro ceed without further delay, to the discussion of the question of average value. From the Petersburg Intelligencer of the 20th inst. Crops....The weather contin ues very warm, and within few days much rain has fallen. The earth indeed seems com pletely saturated. The appear ance of the fields of Corn in thi vicinity is flattering beyond precedent: but we are apprehen sive that the floods have injured much of the low ground tobacco.
