No News. Ovvins to the failure of mails, we have no foreign news' of a lat er date, than that inserted in our last pa per; we have gleaned the following items, however, in addition to what we have already presented: South America. A. letter from an officer on board the Colombi an corvette Boyaca, to a gentle man in Savannah, dated at Car thagena, the 17th of August last, says "We arrived here three days a go from Chagrcs, with Peruvian "troops, and are to sail again to morrow to convey the admiral, of ficers and men of the Per uvian Na vy to this place. The Liberator Bolivar has arrived at Bogota from Peru, and his orders arc daily ex pected for the troops here to march against Paez, in Venezula. Should Paez offer resistance, there will be hard fighting. "We understand that there is a late Bogota paper in town, which contains a manifesto of the Vice President of Colombia, denounc- dent says " Thousands of wret ches, whom one with very little effort of the imagination might mistake for resuscitated skelet ons, are to be seen from morning until night, seated "on the flags of our public streets,' gazing on each other with that vacant and des ponding look which bespeaks the extinction of almost every hope." Portugal -Capt. Cotton, who arrived at Boston on Thursday from Lisbon, states, that on the 21st of August, about 500 persons of the police, of the Queen's par ty, against tho constitution, were arrested. The officers were sent to the castle, and the men to tljo guard ship, where they remained on the 27th. Africa.-Advices received at Providence, dated Acra, July 16, mention that the war between the English settlements on the Gold Coast and the Ashantees still con tinued. The King of the Ashan tees with an army of 10 or 15,000 men, was within GO miles of Acra, nnrl infniwlprl tn nttnrh tin nliirrv mg Gen.

On AVed ncsday afternoon the wind fresh ened up from thc Northward and Eastward, and during the evening increased to a heavy gale, accom panied with a deluge of rain, and an uncommon high tide all night. Towards morning the wind haul ed round to the Westward, but without abating its violence dur ing the whole day. As yet wTe have heard of no damage either by the wind or tide, though it is ap prehended much has occurred frbhi both causes. Thc steam boats Norfolk, Philadelphia and Hampton, were prevented by the violence of the gale from starting on their respective trips. Her, Faycttexillc, Oct. 1 1 . Major John iV.

'' ' , Cuba. A letter from Havana, received in the city of Charleston, says, there was a secret convention made at the Assembly of Nations at Panama, and that it relates to the island of Cuba. Although this is stated with great positive ncss, we have not much belief in it because we should not suppose after inviting the U. S. to the Con gress, and the invitation being ac cepted, that these Powers would undertake to dispose of the desti ny ofihat important island, with out at least consulting the feelings of this country on the subject; es pecially as we do know, from the disclosures made in the Executive communications to Congress at the last session, that our Govern ment has expressed its wish, that these Governments should at pre sent forbear from an attempt upon the islands of Cuba and Porto Ri co. It may be true however; and, if true, will afford matter of very serious consequence to engage the attention of our statesmen. Ireland. The sufferings of thc people of Ireland must be great indeed. The Kilkenny Indcpen- TUESDAY, OCT. 17, 1826. Failure of Mails. The Northern and Western mails of Saturday last, had not arrived when our paper went to press. The failure, wc presume, is oc casioned by the sudden rise of waters, which we understand extends generally throughout this section of the State. Great Freshet.The streams in this vicinity towards the close of last week began to rise with the utmost rapidity, and soon assumed a more imposing ap pearance than customary at this season of the yearyesterday morning the Tar river reached within two or three feet xf its greatest eleyation this unseasonable freshet will no doubt produce incalculable damage in this part of the country, as we have already heard of several bridges & mills being carried away, corn and cotton fields overflowed, &c. Fears were entertained on Saturday and Sun day, for the safety of the bridge over the Tar ot this place, as an enormous raft of drift wood had collected against it but. the -citizens by indefatigable exer- The trial of John P. Bates, Es quire, of Anson county, who stood charged with killing Captain, Al exander King, of the same coun ty, came on last week at the Supe rior Court of Robeson County, to which it had been removed by the state. After much time spent in the examination of witnesses and the hearing of Counsel, the Jury brought in a verdict of "Not Guil ty. - Infanticide. Fanny Nobles, an unmarried woman, was committed to the jail of Montgomery county, about thc 18th ultimo, charged by thc verdict of a Jury of Inquest, with the murder of her infant fe male child. ib. Yellow Fever near New York.. . Several cases of yellow fever have been reported to the Board of Health ot N.York, which occurred at the Quarantine Ground on Sla tcn Island, about seven miles from the city. The first case was on the 5th of August. There have since been 4 deaths out of G cases. Political. The following disgrace ful occurrences , are probably indicative ot the excitement which the ensuing Presidential Election will produce; The delegates from the different coun ties in N. Jersey, having met at Trenton on the 20th ull. for the purpose of forming a Congressional Ticket for the 20th Con gress, a majority being in favor of Gen. Jackson, a ticket was formed of persons lavorable to his election to the Presiden cy. The minority, however, seceded from the meeting, and formetl a ticket favorable to Mr. Mams. Thc meet ing was very disorderly, & Gen. Dough ty, a revolutionary soldier and a dele gate, was assaulted and struck by Lieut. Stockton, an officer of the navy, & claim ing to be an Adams delegate. A Philadelphia paper thus describes the proceedings ofa meeting which was held in that place on the 2d instant, for the purpose of nominating Congression al candidates: "Such was the excitement at the meeting, on Mondnv nftm. that several personal conflicts en- sued; One gentleman called an. other, publicly, a liar thc latter promptly struck the, other & then several personsbecame concerned in the scuffle. At another end of the room, a person said that one of the candidates for the Preside cy was an A&cist! another pGr. son standing near, to convince him at least of his being one smote him and knocked divers teeth down his throat. It is sUp. posed that nearly 1000 persons were Jn the building and yard, Immediately after, the meeting a fellow, looking like a foreionp- drew a Spanisb knife on oneofthe citizens, but wTas prevented usino it. These are the usual incidents of times of particular excitement. " Raleigh, Oct. 10. The Supe. rior Court for this County adjour. ned on Saturday. On Friday, Trueman Goode, a free man of colour, was tried for the murder of Jacob, slave, the property of Wra. Daniel; but it appearing from the testimony, that he -killed the de ceased in self-defence, he was ac quitted. On the same day, Frederick Matthews, a free man of colour, indicted for an assault on John Gragson, a white man, with intent to kill, was tried and convicted of the charge. He was sentenced to remain in Jail until our next County Court, on the two first days of which he is to stand in the pub lic Stocks for one hour; to be re committed until the 15th of Janu ary, to pay the costs of the prose cution, and to give security for the preservation of the peace for eigh teen months, Wm.
