are assigned above Fort Smith, and all it is expected will have removed on or before the 6th of next month, which is the day fixed by the treaty for their surrendering the entire pos session of their country to the United States. It will be recollected, that instruc tions were forwarded to the Govern or of this Territory, by the Secreta ry of War, some time ago, directing him. whenever the valuation of the Cherokee improvements should be finished, to lease out all such as should be valued at $200 and upwards.— Pursuant to these instructions, we un derstand that (Governor Pope has con ferred the appointment of Agent for leasing out the improvements on An drew Scott, Esq. who will set out in a few days, for the purpose of enter ing on the duties of his appointment immediately aftor the 6th of next month. His appointment extends to the taking care of the various public buildings which the United States lias acquired by (he treaty, and which may not he leased out.—Ark. Gaz. WEDNB:SDAY, JULY 22,1829. FROM ENGLAND. O'Connel.—Mr. Brougham’s mo tion in the House of Commons, “that Mr. O'Connel be called back and heard at the bar,” was brought up for discussion on Monday the 18th, and after being supported among oth ers by Mr. Peel, was carried unanim ously. In a few moments Mr. 0- Connel made his appearance at the bar, and the speaker thus addressed him: Mr. O’Connel; the House have re solved that you be heard at the bar by yourself, your counsel or your a- gents, in respect to your claim to sit and vote in the Parliament without taking the oaths. Mr. O’Connel then rose, and ad dressed the House in a long speech, in support of his claim, after which he withdrew amids* loud and general cheering. The solicitor general ad dressed the House in reply, and con cluded by moving, “That Mr. O’Con- liel, having been returned a member of this House before the passing of the Act for the Relief of the Roman Catholics, is not entitled to sit or vote in this House, unless he first takes the oath of Supremacy.” A long debate ensued, and the question being taken upon the mol ion, there were in favor, 190 votes; against 116; being a majority of 74 against O’Con- nel’s claims. It was however order ed that Mr. O’Connel be required to give attendance at 3o’clock in the af ternoon of the 19th, in order that the speaker might communicate to him the resolution of the House, & ask him if he was willing to take the oath of Su premacy. Mr. O’Connel appeared ac cordingly. The Speaker said—Mr. O’Connel, 1 am directed to inform you that this House, last night, agreed to two res olutions, the first of which is, that it is the opinion of this House before the Honorable Member for Clare can sit or vote, he must take the oaths of allegiance and supremacy; and the second, that Mr. O’Connel be request ed to attend this evening for the pur pose of being informed of this decis ion. Mr. Speaker was also requested to ask if Mr. O’Connel would take the oath of supremacy. I do there fore now ask yon, if you will take the oath. Mr. O’Connel,—-I wish to see the oath. The Clerk here took the oath to the Hon. Member at the bar, af ter which Mr. O'Connel said, I have before seen this oath, there is one part of it that I know not to be true. And there is another part of it that lieve not to be true, therefore fuse to take this oath. (Hear, hear.) The Speaker,—Mr. O’Connel you may now withdraw. Mr. O’Connel accordingly with drew. The Solicitor General then moved “That Mr. Speaker do issue his war rant to the Clerk of the Crown for a new writ for 1he election of a Knight to serve in Parliament for the coun ty of Clare, in the room of Daniel O’Connel, Esq. he having refused to take oath of supremacy.” The consideration of this question was adjourned till the 21st, when Mr. Spring Rice moved for leave to bring I be- I re hear, in a bill to amend that part of the apt which related to this particular cash, so as to enable the Hon. Member pr Clare to take his scat without a niw election. [Not yet acted upon.] London, May 23.; It is rumoured in a certain circle,i& was very generally talked of in par liament last night, that admiral Ma- colm has received instructions to pro tect all British merchantmen-who may wish to break the Russian block ade of the entrance of the Dardanelles. In fact, it was said, the intelligence of some collision is hourly expected. From the Sett of IVar. Paris, May 20. Letters from the frontiers of Mol davia of the 2d instait state that ac counts had been received from Jassa announcing that the general-in-chief, Dibitsh, was serious!/ indisposed, but but that the operation: of the army, the command of which hid been confided to another general, vere not in the least degree relaxed fnm the circum stance. A new levy of men was to be made in Russia, in the proporion of eight out of every 500, which will aug ment the army in actual service to 100,000 men. Russian Official BulUtin. St. Petersburg, April 30. A Supplement to the Jouinal of St. Petersburg, contains news from the theatre of war to April, wVich besides the account of the unsuccess ful attack made by Hussein Pacha upon Sizeboli, gives the following par ticulars. Nothing else of any^importance has occurred along the whole line that we occupy it^ Bulgaria or on the Danube, with the exception of some skirmish es between the out posts. The gar rison of Ghiurgevo has made two un successful sallies against the coips of observation before that fortress, in the second the enemy had 3000 men, infantry and cavalry, and some can non, and began a fire of Musketry on the Cossacks, but were driven back into the fortress with considerable loss by the fire of artillery and the attack of two regiments of hussars; we look some prisoners. During the winter the necessary preparations have been made to ef fect the passage of the Danube be fore Silistria. Pontoons were made in the village of Ftindeni, on the river Argis, with the intention of floating them in spring to the Danube, and on the river Bota to Kallarusch, op posite Silistria. This enterprise was difficult and dangerous, for the ene my having assembled the remains of his flotilla before Silistria, command ed the Danube at that fortress and farther up. The operation was, how ever, executed with success through the intrepidity and skill united with the prudence of Major General Schil- tler^ The pontoons were launched into the Argis on the 8th April, reach ed the Danube at day break on the 11th, and at two o’clock in the after noon i'f the following day were out of all danger in the Bota. We not only sustained no loss, but the volunteers of the regiments of Archangel and Volguda, stationed on the pontoons, captured a Turkish merchantman, a corvette, with seven men. This cor vette has been armed with four cannon, & stationed as a guordship at the mouth of the Bota, where General Schilder has also had two redoubts erected. The prisoners and deserters from the Turkish fortresses on the Dan ube agree in stating that there is a great scarcity of provisions, especial ly at Shumla, where the new Grand Vizier had arrived with 12,BOO reg ular troops. The authenticity of these declarations is confirmed by other unexceptionable accounts, ac cording to which the scarcity is daily becoming more alarming even at Constantinople, threatens the innu merable population of that capital with incalculable disasters. Thecelebrated Tchpan Oglou, who commanded at Nieopoli, has lately been arrested by a Capidgi Baschi sent by the Sultan, and conducted in to exile. But it is believed that he will be beheaded before lie peaches the place of his destination. As the commencement of fine weather favors the renewal of hostil ities, the Commander in Chief has thought fit to bring his head quarters nearer to the Danube, and according ly left Jassy 14th April. The heretofore the GREAT BRITAIN. London Quarterly Review, advocate of the an cient institutions and abuses of the kingdom, and opposer of reformation in church and state, has changed its tone. The last number presents a gloomy picture of the state and pros pects of the country; admits that the foundation of England's greatness is insecure, and liable to be undermined; and that changes must take place in almost every part of the machine of society. We will give our readers a short abstract of the Reviewer’s ob servation under several heads. Manufactures.—The perseverance with which trade and manufactures are enconraged in every part of the world is calculated to inspire deep and constant anxiety in England. Most of the countries in Furope— France-, Netherlands, Germany, Prus sia, Switzerland, &c. are making rapid progress in manufactures, and from one end of Europe to the other, the greatest activity prevails. Eng lish artists are daily invited to settle abroad, and foreigners reside in England until they are able to carry off the mysteries of their trades and professions. Public debt.—The reviewer states that the national debt in J828 amount ed to 3,560,000,000 dollars—a sum so enormous that the mere statement of it cannot fail to carry alarm to eve ry man possessed of prudence and foresight. The interest of the debt is considerably more than half of the whole annual income of the kingdom, and the reviewer expresses his fears that the people will be unable to pay the interest, and that bankruptcy and revolution will ensue. He cautions those who trust to the chapter of ac cident to avert the evil, not to rely on such consolations. Poor rates.—The poor rates have increased more than ten fold within 80 years, and now exceed 30 millions of dollars per annum. The burdens of the rich and the miseries of the poor are at this hour generally and rapidly advancing. The majority of laborers and their families throughout Eng land are as completely hound or as- tricted to the parish, as the serfs (slaves) in feudal times were to the farm. The reviewer does not see how such an increasing drain can be long supported, and says the pauper sys tem threatens to involve land owners, farmers and laborers in general and irretrievable ruin. He states that the higher classes generally do not trouble themselves about the lower classes, and are often as ignorant of the true state of the laboring popula tion who are within a short distance of their own doors, as if they belonged to another species. Redundancy of population.—Popula tion has been increasing for many years in almost every town and ham let; parents cannot find places where their children can earn an honorable support; all trades, pursuits and pro fessions are becoming more and more overstocked; and multitudes of per sons of all degrees and ages are mov ing about without employment, use less to themselves and a burden to the public. The reviewer recommends emigration to the British colonies, and would teach the people to regard the colonies as the promised land. Extravagance—The prosperity of the last 30 years has caused the most extravagant notions and pretensions. The whole community have departed from the simplicity, foresight and frugality of their’fathers, and indulged in notions respecting dress, houses, furniture, living, education, &c. which no wealth can support. Many are beginning to correct the evil, but the upper classes are even now a great deal too lofty. As it is hopeless for them to think of raising their fortune to these ideas, they should bring down their ideas to the level of their for tune. This is a duty which parents should practice themselves, and in culcate on their offspring’. Such a change will increase happiness with out impairing reputation. [This is excellent advice, and necessary in the United States as well as in Eng land.] The reviewer next takes a view of the nature and acquired advantages of Great Britain, which are very great —insular situation, commerce, colo nies, products of the soil, mines of lead, tin, copper, coal and iron, fisher ies, salubrity of the climate, vast cap ital of the merchants and manufactur ers, industrious and skilful laborers, intellectual and moral worth of the middling classes, &c. With all these advantages, the reviewer thinks that England cannot retain her present rank without a oojistant struggle, which every succeeding year will render more trying and severe. He is evi dently apprehensive that the present order of tilings is verging to a great revolution; and to prevent this, he recommends that old incumbrances should be removed, that every branch of public and private economy should be amended, that many ancient insti tutions should be altered, & that those things which obstruct the changes which the current of events is forcing forward, should be taken away. He concludes as follows:—“Formidable difficulties must be encountered by us at no great distance. Let the aris tocracy of England, let all who have influence in this land, bethink them well what they are about. Let them beware of rash actions and fash words. Let them look before they leap.”— Ilamp. Gas. DOMESTIC. The Central Bank.—The Milledge- ville Recorder of the 27th ult. says: “The pencil of a Hogarth would have been inadequate to the representation of the scene exhibited before the door of the Central Bank on Saturday last, when the Bank was first opened to pay out money. The State-House passage near the door of the Bank was crow ded almost to suffocation—the weath er melting hot. Impatience, anxiety, hope and fear were depicted in the countenance of the multitude of ap plicants for money, who had come from the c^reme points of the State, from East, West, North and South. A little past ten o’clock the door of the Bank was opened, when a rusk was made to be first at the Cashier’s desk-the room was istantly crammed so full, that, those who wished to get out found it very difficult to make their escape—other passions were then conspicuous in the “human face divine”—joy, anger and despair. This scene, instructive to the indiffer ent spectator, but at the same time humiliating, continued throughout the day.” • Lamentable Event.—Mr. John R. Creecy, of Edenton, N. C. left home several weeks ago for Baltimore, and for some time regularly corresponded with his family, after which no tidings of him were received, untill very re cently, when a letter from him was found in the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. directed to a friend, enclossing the key of his trunk, which he stated he had sent home. The trunk was found in Norfolk, and on examining it, letteis were discovered, in which he mentioned his intention to destroy himself, and that all search after him would be fruitless, as he had fallen on a plan to conceal his body.—There were- many rumours afloat in regard to this taysterious affair. Some of letters appear to have been written very composedly—others in a wild and incoherent manner. The testimony on the coroner’ proved that her maiden name was Laura Button—that she had boApa millener in Rochester—that ^fliji married her in the spring of last yea*, after a:; acquaintance of two or tilled' days—and that a few days after mar riage, he set off for Canada, taking with him part of her clothing, &c. aRd promising to return or send for her. After waiting considerable time, without hearing from him, she departed in search of him, and her fate on find-' ing him was as above stated. Her', funeral was attended by a number of Canadians and Americans, all indignant at the inhuman conduct of her hus band. Commodore Porter.—Capt. Miner, of the Lavinta, reports than an at tempt had been made to assassinate Com. Porter. He had been ordered to the City of Mexico, and on his way thither, in company with a gentleman from New York, and attended by two servants, when about forty leagues from Vera Cruz, he was attacked by a party of nine horseman; two of whom had advanced to within a short distance of him, when he turned and discovered their intentions-he instant ly wheeled and shot one of them, who turned out to be the leader, drew his sword, and struck off the hand of the other who had engaged him. The rest seeing their leader fall, fled. The chief of the band, it is said is the very man from whom the Commo dore procured his horses for his jour ney.—Mew Orleans Argus. Murder.*-Maliloa Dickinson, over-' fiefer of Jos. Stiles, Esq. of Savannah, was recently murdered about 14 * 1 miles from the city, by two liegros, a’ boy and a girl, not more than 16 years of age. The instrument of violence used, were an axe and a hoe. His body was buried in the field by the perpetrators, assisted by a fellow slave of riper age, who witnessed the* whole transaction at a short distance. The three negroes have been arrested. Mr. C. is said to have been a humane and worthy man, and no reason has been assigned by the negroes con- cerned, for his mnrder, except the long and frequent instigations of the driver on the estate. Shocking L'epravity.—A box was recently picked up, on the mississippi, near Ncw-Orleans, containing the corps of a beautiful infant.—Erom its appearance, no doubt was enter tained of its having been born alive. How lost to herself and to the world —how lost to all fear of retributive justice, either here or hereafter— how lost to every pange of humanity, must that mother be, who, to the sa crifice of her virtue, could add the crime of murder upon the inocent off spring of her guilt! From the Rochester N. Y. Telegraph. Tragical Occurrence.—A letter from a gentleman at Kingston, Upper Canada, to his fi^end in this place, mentions the following melancholy particulars: On Friday the 4th of June, a young woman arrived in Kingston claiming to he the wife of Mr. Willis, a Portrait Painter; but he refused to recognise her as such, and advised her to return to Rochester, whence slve had come. Mortified and heartbroken with his coldness and bfutality—for she had travelled alone and unprotected thro’ many towns of Canada in search of him—she qext evening procured some arsenic, and poisoned herself on Sun day morning. She lived for a few mi nutes only after taking the arsenic.— The Capitol.—The Capitol at Wash ington is finished, and it is truly a magnificent structure.—Rich shrub bery has been well distributed in the great enclosure annexed to it,’and from the noble terrace on the west side, the prospect includes the great er part of Washington and George town, and their lofty and picturesque environs, and the river for some miles. This scene, at the setting of the sun in fine weather, with the profound stillness on every side, and the aspect of the splendid edifice, is calculated to make a deep impression on one who paces the terrace at that hour. The silence, the repose, the absence of all bustle, fortn a peculiar contrast with the movement of every kind and in every quarter, and the din of the logocracy, during the session of Con-' gress. It is alone almost worth the trouble of the journey to Washington. N. Gaz. u The Moorish Prince.—We have, seen a letter from Prince Abdulil Rhahaman, late a slave in Mississip pi, dated Monrovia, Colony of Liber ia, (Africa) April 13th. He has as certained that his relatives in Teem- bo are still the reigning family of the country; and is able by means of trav ellers, to transmit or receive commu nications in the space of 15 days.—- “My brother,” he says, “is th^pres- ent King, having been enthroned three years since; and his benignant and placid qualifications endear him to all his subjects.” He expresses the deepest sympathy for his children who are still in slavery in Mississippi, and says “their emancipation would be paramount to every other consid eration.” “Longevity could not be desirable to one whoise furrowed cheeks and hoary locks are on the verge of the grave, under the frozen impression that his offspring are still suffering in bondage. ’Tis all—the last, last hope! the prop of tottering age? who, filled with filial piety, could drop a tear upon the dust of their departed sire.”—“I have written to Sierra Leone, for a more direct correspon dence with my brother, and expect a return by express.”—Jour, of Com. Cincinnati, (Ohio) June 16. Trial for Murder.—At the late term of the Supreme Court in this city, John Cridsall was indicted for, the murder of his wife some months past. It was proved by his two daughters, one of whom i9 since dead, that he cut off her head with an axe, & when asked by the neighbor^,who did it? he
