LATEST FROM ENGLAND. T5y the ship Orpheus from Liverpool, the New York Courier and Enquirer has received London papers to the 23d and Liverpool to the 25th July. We lament to perceive that the Chole ra prevails to a serious extent in London and throughout England generally. The government will not publish official re ports of the state of health of the metro polis; yet it is evident from many cir cumstances, that the pestilence is ma king great ravages there. In England the condition of Ireland continued to keep alive the apprehen sions of the country. It was not believed that the bill for the modification of the jithe system, which has passed the House of Qommons, woultl at all soothe the Irish people. Liverpool, July 2a. We have had an other dull week in our Cotton market, and the imports again have far exceeded the sales. In the low to fair qualities of Upland and Orleans descriptions the de cline during the last ten days is l-8d to id. per lb. whilst the good qualities fully support the previous currency. The sales of the week amount to 3530 bags; imports, 23,800 bags. July 23. The demand for Cotton throughout the week has been limited, and prices are a shade lower, nartinnlnr- ly for the common qualities of American, which have declined about l-8d per lb. GERMANY. The late resolution; of the -Diet of Frankfort, continues to" be. the subject of general discussion and rep'robation in both the English and French papers. By the last private letters received at Paris from Switzerland and Germany, it is as serted, that the people there, arc confi dent of their strength and resolved to struggle against the confederate despots. Great disturbances growing out of the infamous proscriptions of the Polish pa triots by ttussia, still continue to exist in Lithuania. AUSTRIA. Vienna, July 10. The decision of the Paris Court of Cassation, whereby the competency of the Courts-Martial was denied, has produced a powerful sensa tion here. The funds fell considerably on the arrival of the news, as it was tho't an unfavorable sign to see the highest Court of Justice in France in direct op position with the proceedings of the Go vernment. The young Duke of Reichstadt (son of Napoleon) was not dead, but his case was considered hopeless. The marriage between the Kin of Belgium and one of the daughters of Louis Philip is nnsitivnlv fVtr tl.n l J . J n W 4 iliU 7th August, whatever may be the state of uoguuiuuuii on ine jselgic treaty. The marriage will take place at Com- yoiguu, wan me least possible display and expense. The London Standard of July 19, says: Things seem to be coming towards a crisis in Belgium. To-morrow is the "last final day," and both parties are pre paring with all their powers for actual conflict. In the sitting of the 12th, at Brussels, the Minister for Foreign Af fairs declared that it was impossible for him to name the day when recourse would be had to arms, even though that day might be already fixed. " ITALY. Accounts from Ancona state that Louis Philip had not only refused to withdraw the French troops from Ancona, but that he had declared to the Pope that circum stances had occurred which would ob lige him to increase his force in that quarter. The French had again taken the police of the place into their hands. GREECE. The affairs of Greece are not settled uut it seems that Prince Otl fit n t70 pin will be its sovereign, and that a loan of flVO millinno oIa.I: ..'II i . : . oiuiuug Wiu ue made to Iiim, under the joint security of England r ranee and Russia. ' TURKEY. The plague is announced as having made its appearance at Constantinople. The symptoms are much more alarming than usual, and great numbers are fall ing victims. The Paris papers announce the sur render of St. Jean d'Acre to the Pacha of Egypt. This is an unfortunate blow for the Grand Seignor. PORTUGAL. Thcbrig Ccdric, which recently arriv ed at Boston from Antwerp, was bound to St. Ubes, but arriving off that rort on the 2lst July, was boarded from one of Don Pedro's squadron, and notified of the blockade ot the ports of Portugal. Her register was endorsed, and the ves sel ordered off. The Captain was infor med that Don Pedro had possession of all the north of Portugal, and that the greater part of the squadron were in the Tagus blockading Lisbon. Don Pedro's forces consisted of 7,800 men, including 460 Englishmen, and about the same number of Frenchmen. SOUTH AMERICA. Mexico. The brig Com. Preble has arrived at New York from Tobasco, whence she sailed on the 2d of August. Capt. Perkins states that on the 25th of July, an action took place between the troops of the Mexican government and the navy under Capt. Thomson on one side, and the fort of Tobasco and the troops under Santa Anna on the other. The Mexicans were defeated, and the greater part taken prisoners. Captain Thomson and his brother fell into the hands of the victors. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1832. The Cholera. This disease; has so far abated in New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, &c. that the citizens are returning; to their homes. In New York, from the 4th of July to the 23d of August, there were 5501 cases, and 21G7 deaths and in Philadelphia, from the 27th of July to the 2llh ot August, there were 20SG ca ses and 509 deaths. At Washington City, for the 24 hours ending the 4th inst. there were 42 new cases and 10 deaths reported. The Cholera still rages in many parts of the State of New York, and is making frightful rav ages, in a fcreat many Canadian villages. The disease seems to have revisited Quebec and Mon treal, attacking the second time more of the high er classes of society, and almost in every in stance proving most malignant and fatal. . IVcslern Elections. -The returns from Indi ana, Missouri, &c. come in slowly, and as usual are very contradictory. Doth parties claim an increase 01 strength, but we doubt not that in 1832, as in 1828, the opposition will find the "Jackson fever" too high to be controlled. The official returns of the late election in Ken tucky for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, exhibit the following result: Governor -Hreathitt, (Jackson) 40,G8l Buckner, (Clay) 39.421 Breathitt's majority, 1,260 Lt. Governor Morehead, (Clay) 40,016 Taylor, (Jackson) 37,452 Morehead's majority, 2,594 Political.- At a district convention, held at Chnrlntf E.sq. was unanimously nominated as Elector on vuvi uauivauu mm uuiuuui iiuhui, lur me ulSiriCl cumposeu 01 me counties oi juincoin, Mecklen burg and Cabarrus A large and respectable political meeting, was held on the 25th ult. at Shooco Springs, Warren county, by visitors from different sections of the State, to take into consideration the propriety of corresponding with Martin Van Buren and Phi lip P. Barbour, two prominent candidates for the Vice Presidency, for the purpose of ascertaining their sentiments with regard to the Protective System, Internal Improvement, U S Tlnnh and vilification. Gen. Joseph H.Vyaf was called to the Chair, and Charles R. Ram ay EIn appointed Secretary. The Chairman expS the object of the meeting briefly disoCn party considerations, and fi.jo ntroduced a preamble and' resolution to the Ransom, Esq. participated, were unanimously adopted after which, Joseph H. Bryan, Esq. Maj. Memucan Hunt and Josiali Uranuerry, Esq. were appointed the committee of "corres pondence. Jlnt iTar iff Meet ing.W e learn from the Western Carolinian, that in pursuance of the appointment made on the 4th day of J uly, a very large and respectable assemblage of the citizens of Rowan, took place in the Court House on the 23d ult. On motion of Charles Fisher, Esq. the meeting was organized by calling Dr. John Scott to the Chair, and by appointing Gen. Wm. H, Kerr, Col. Robt. Macnamara, James Smith, Abel Cowan and Jacob Lyerly, Esqs. assistant Chair men, and James E. Kerr, Esq. Secretary. By one of the resolutions of the meeting held on the 4th July, Charles Fisher, Esq. had been appoin ted to open the proceedingsof this meeting by an address explaining the unjust and unequal ope rations of the Tariff on the people of the South; but as soon as the meeting was organized, and before Mr. Fisher could reach his stand to com mence his address, Hamilton Jones, Esq. offered a string of resolutions which he held in his hand. Burton Craige, Esq. objected to the resolutions being then heard, and after some remarks Mr. Jones withdrew his resolutions. Mr. Fisher then delivered an "able and eloquent" speech against the Tariff, and offered the following reso lutions for the adoption of the meeting. Mr. Jones again addressed the meeting he objected to Mr. Fisher's resolutions, and moved that they be set aside and his adopted in their place. Mr. Eisner replied to Mr. Jones, Mr. Richmond Pearson now arose, and at the close of some re marks against the resolutions, his friends snruns: from their seats in the bar, and began applauding his speech by "stamping and yelling," which drew some remarks from Mr. Craige, and a short personal altercation ensued whereupon Mr. Da via t. bain well proposed that the friends of the Union retire from the meeting: Mr. Fisher call ed on the real friends of the Union, and the friends of liberty and equal rights to remain, and mat all the Inends ol the J arm go out with Mr. Caldwell. They accordingly retired to about a dozen in number, leaving the immense crowd in the Court House. As soon as a separation took place, Mr. Wisher moved that the question be ta ken on his resolutions, which was accordingly done, and carried by general acclamation they arc as follows: Whereas, it was the intention of the free people of the sovereign States of fhis confederacy in forming the Constitu tion, to give equal protection to every part of the Union, and to every class of citizens; not to oppress one section for the purpose ot enriching another nor to tax the farmers, mechanics and all other classes of the community to give bounties to a favorite few; And ichercas, A majority of the mem bers of Congress irresponsible to the peo ple of the South, have assumed the pow er to impose heavy taxes on us wlmn there is no need of the money to support government, nor lor the payment of the public debt, but solely, and avowedly for the purpose of protecting, and enriching the manufacturers of the North; J Therefore resolved, That we consider! the Tariff acts, so far as they impose taxes beyond what is required to support government, as unjust, unequal and high ly oppressive on the people of the South ern States. Resolved, further, That a committee of ten persons be appointed, to prepare a memorial to Congress setting forth in plain, manly, but respectful language, our grievances, and our objections to the Tariff, and asking that body to take the subject under consideration, and reduce those taxes to the wants of the govern ment, and to change the objects of taxa tion so as to take the duties off of the ne cessaries of life such as salt, iron, nails brown sugar, and greatly to reduce them on cotton and woollen fabrics, and on such other articles as are generally used by .the great mass of the community; and for the purpose of revenue to increase them on the luxuries of life, such as silks satins, wines, jewelry, and all other arti eles not necessaries of life, but which are mostly consumed by the rich, who wheii they indulge in luxuries should not com plain to pay the duties. wl.,Mrf,.rThal tho merials vvhen prepared, be placed in the hands of committees of five persons to be designa ted by the committee of ten, in each cap tain s district, for the purpose of havinV s.gneu Dyuie freemen of the coun ty; and when completed, that these me morials be delivered to the committee of ten, to be forwarded by them to our Sen ators in Congress, with a request to lav them before that body. J Resolved, further. Thnt tU : ot ten, acting as q committee of vigilance, arc hereby instructed to correspond with the friends of liberty and equal rights in the other counties in this State, urging them to get up meetings of the people co-operating with us in our efforts to ob tain relief to the oppressed and suffering people of North Carolina and all the Sou thern States: Further, that they, from time to time, communicate to the citizens of Rowan, such facts, and information as they may deem of value, and as may con cern the rights, and liberties of the peo ple; and, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of any printing that may be ne cessary, the committees of five in each district are instructed to receive small contributions from each freeman who may choose to give his mite in a cause where his dearest rights are at staked which contributions shall be handed over to the committee of ten. The TariffThe Washington Globe presents from the Register's Office of the Treasury Department, a revised compa rative statement, showing the amount and rates of duties according to the existing rates, and as modified by the act of July 14, 1332, calculated upon the importa tions of the year ending 30th September, 1830. The neat amount of duties ac cording to existing rates is stated to be S17,288,G45; and the neat amount under the new tariff estimated at$12,101,568 a reduction of $5,187,078. The Militia, -According to the re turns submitted to Congress at the last session of that body, the number of citi zen soldiers enrolled in the militia of the United States, is 1,244,5G9. These re turns are in many cases incomplete. The real number is probably not far from 1,350,000, or one to ten of the whole po pulation. Iu case of extreme necessity, a still greater number by half a million, could be brought into the field. Greenville, Sept. 6. The Superior Court for this county, was held in this place this week, his honor Judge Nor wood presiding. We believe no case of case of much importance was on the docket. Patriot. The Greenville Thespians. We wit nessed the performance of this company on Tuesday evening, and can truly say, the performance exceeded our most san guine expectations. We have seen the play of "Speed the Plough" not acted as well by veteran performers; and we should think an enlightened and liberal public could not hesitate in extending to them that patronage and encouragement they so richly merit. ib. New Cotton. The Augusta (Geo ) Courier of the 29th ult. says: A bale of new Cotton from the plantation of Col. James II. Hammond, Barnwell district S. C. was sold in our market this day at 9 cents the quality was full one cent under prime. Raleigh, Sept. 7. We are concerned to state that his honor, Judge Swain, met with a serious accident on Friday last, while on his way from this city to feurry county, to commence the duties of his circuit. About nine miles above Hillsborough, his sulkv overset, by which Us right shoulder was dislocated, and his right arm fractured slightly, between the shoulder and elbow. Surgical assis tance having been procured, the disloca tion was readily reduced and the arm set.
