Petersburg, Oct. 3. -From Liv
erpool, our advices by scvearl re
cent arrivals at New-York are as
late as the 2nd September. Of
political news the articles are few
and unimportant. We perceive
indeed that in Portugal, a party
composed of Priests and Nobles,
have manifested u n equivocacy mp-
toms ot dissatisfaction with the
new order of things: But this was
to have been calculated upon
from the first the malcontents
have doubtless been sccretlv en-
couraged, if not stimulated to ac
tion by the agents of the Holy Al
liance; and probably the King
of Spain, who has more reason for
alarm than any other Royal Mem
ber, has not been an idle spectator
of events passing so near him.
We however presume that Eng
land, who it is believed recom
mended the existing Constitution
al System, will feel the obligation
to protect the nation against for
eign aggression; and surely the
Portuguese if left to themselves,
the great mass being at least con
tent to live under a free charter,
will be able to reduce to submis
sion the Priviledged Classes, who
are powerful only in name. We
have no certain intelligence of the
movements of Lord Cochrane; al
though sufficient time had elapsed
for the Turks to have felt the pow
er of his arm in some of their mar
itime strong-holds. The next ar
rivals may bring us interesting ac
counts of him at Alexandria,
Smyrna, or Constantinople -notwithstanding
a portion of his force,
awing to defective machinery, has
been detained in the English
Ports . We con fess we have no
extraordinary reverence for the
motives which have prompted this
adventurer to devote his talents
to the service of the Greeks xvc
certainly think him rather stimu
lated by a hope of gain, than a
love of liberty or regard for the
rights of man but as fortune and
fame unite with the cries of suffer
ing humanity to summon him to
4he theatre of War in the East, we
entertain the strongest hopes that,
under Providence his bravery and
experience will not be exerted in
vain.
With respect to Commercial af
fairs, a slight improvement is per
ceptible in the transaction of the
markets; although we have but
little confidence in the assertions
of the London Prints, that any
beneficial change of consequence
lias taken place in the internal
situation of Great Britain. The
evils under which she labors, we
fear, are too deeply seated for the
application of private charities,
bow liberally soever exerted, or
temporary governmental expedi
ents, to reach them her Mam
moth Debt, her enormous Poor
Rates, her costly Monarchy, with
its trappings, have borne her down,
until at length she is unable to
meet the impositions which the
necessities of her rulers demand
She has no employment for her
army or navy -her manufacturers,
her commercial marine, are idle
1ier poor are starving. Where is
a remedy for a state of things like
thisl True, there are eras In her
history, when like a gallant ship
overtaken by a storm, and all the
world despaired of her fate, she
has nobly breasted the waves that
threatened to overwhelm her, and
by courage and constancy trium-
plied over every aimcuiiy irue,
there are many of the present gen
eration who have seen her at sev
eral periods stand in arms against
combined Europe in array: But
Knirland now. owinir to tnc cir
cumstances we have mentioned,
is not what En si and was in those
days and her Ministers, able as
they undoubtedly are,, will have
need of all their fortitude to meet
as Patriots the approaching crisis,
and all their talents as statesmen,
to preserve the integrity of their
system.
It appears that the British Gov
ernment have determined to pro
hibit our intercourse with their
West-India Ports on and after the
1st of December next. This, we
believe, has originated in no un
friendly feeling towards the Uni
ted States: and is done tncrely in
aspiritof commercial rivalry Mr.
Gallatin, we hope, before the day
fixed upon for suspending the trade
having a thorough knowledge of
the subject, will be able to obviate
difficulties, and place things on a
better footing for both countries.

states, that the affair of the steam

ses much attention. No obstacle
is nrpsnnted on the part of the go
vernment: but it is feared the de
fects in the machinery will render
them wholly unnt tor tne service
intended. The most serious part
of the affair is that the sum of

been expended in the construction

Mr. Roderick J. Powell, Merch

We have never heard of a more
deliberate act of self-murder than
this. Mr. Powell had come to
Raleigh, on his way to New-York,
but failing, as is supposed, to ac
complish the object of his visit to
this place, on Tuesday morning
retraced his way towards Ncw

Greene county, who was travelling
m a gigin company with Mr. Pow
ell, says, he observed nothing sin
gular in his deportment. About
ten miles Yrom Smithfield, Mr.
Powell got out at an old house,
and wrote something on a, paper
with a pencil, after which, resum
ing his seat, they drove on. When
wrthin a mile of Smithfield, Mr.
Taylor says, he heard the report
ofiirc-arms; and instantly M. Pow
ell fell from his seat the ground
