the operations at t lie Swash have met
with ;t serious iujpediment by the filling

unavailing the labors of the bout which is

Cumberland, Md. Jane 3. A stran

represented himself to be a native of ler
quimons county, North C arolina, put nn
end to his existence, in this town, a lew

arsenic. Alter taking the poison, he
drank water very freely, and lingered 3
or 4 days in great apparent pain, during
which time, wo learn, every attention was
paid to him by those in whose hands he
fell. Ho saiil he left three pons and a
brother and sister, residing near Hert

Fatal Salute by an American Frigate.
A correspondent of the London True
Sun, under date of Paris, May 7th, says:
"A disastrous catastrophe has occurred
at Toulon. On firing her salve dirlillt
ric with the French ships, in honor of
Louis Philip's fete, the United Stales A
merican frigate fired with ball into the
French frigate Le SulFren, by which un
pardonable neglect one man belonging
to tin; latter vessel was cut in twain, two
mortally, and four grievously wounded.
This unfortunate mishap had excited
great irritation on the part of the French
sailors against the Americans."

FOREIGN.
Latest from Europe. I3y the arrival
at New Vork, of the packet ship Sylva

pers to the lhh May inclusive, have
been received. The news contained in
these papers is interesting ami impor
tant. The long continued contest in
Portugal would seem to have nearly ter
minated. The flight of Don Carl os into
Fngland is an event that will probably
close the insurrectionary troubles in
Spain, and leave the Queen Regent in
quiet possession of the government.
The Liverpool Journal of May 10th,
says. We have great pleasure in an
nouncing the probable cessation of hos
tilities in the peninsula. The Lord Nel
son, in five days from Lisbon, has ar
rived at Dartmouth, with the news that
the Pedroites had taken Figuera, that
Loimbra had declared for Donna Maria,
that the whole of the road from Oporto
to Lisbon was open to the Pedroites
and that Don Miguel and Don Pedro had
come to a settlement, an armistice hav
ing beim agreed to. Nor is this all, a
telegraphic despatch was received at
Paris on the 6th iust, stating that Don
Carlos had embarked for Fngland; it al
so corroborates what we have above
mentioned respecting Portugal, for the
despatch says, "The affairs of Portugal
hive been arunged between Don Miguel
and Don Pedro." These letters by the
Lord Nelson confirm the fact respecting
Don Carlos, and say that he had placed
himself under the protection of the Eng
lish. The news reached Paris from Bayonne,
wliither it had been brought by the French
Secretary of Legation, who had left Ma
rinl on 3d inst. Coming to us, from two
soirees, besides its extreme probability,
we are inclined lo give it every credence.
We understand that the ratification of

have been felt at a great distance in
France. At Calais and Cologne the n. t
manufactories have suffered severely.
The goods sent to Lyons have remained
unsold, and the bills drawn in conse

manufacturers, overloaded with goods,
have ceased to employ their men, ex
ceptiig only one tor each machine, as
necessary for keeping it in order.
