New-York. October 3, 1832. Our news schocm r Kciipse, arrive:! m town last night from the Havre packet ship France, Capt. Funk, which sailed from that port on the , 21st September. The Editor of the Courier and Enquirer has received by this conveyance, files o{ Havre and j Paris journals, the former to the date of the I Oth September, the latter to the 20th. The affairs of la igium and Holland appear to i be assuming a serious character, if w • may be lieve the Paris Correspondent oi the Journal Du : Havre; he states on the 19th Sept, that the I Conference in London had almost ceased its de liberations, finding it impossible to produce an arrangement of the questions m dispute. Lord Palmerston, the Bri ish Ministers, however, still continued his endeavors alone, and had trans mitted to the Hague, a project fur the definitive j settlement of the different {joints unadjusted. I This step had not been more successful than those which preceded if, and six days before the j French Government had received intelligence i from their Ministers at the Hague, Inc Marquis of Dalmatia, that the project of Lord Palmerston had been rejected. A cabinet council was im mediately summoned, and on the 1 It!j instruc tions were transmitted to M. Durand do Mareuil, the French Ambassador at London, of winch the following is said to be a copy. “ We have learned from our Minister at the Hague, that the proposals made by Lord Pal merston, have not even been taken into consid eration by the Cabinet ol the King of Holland, and in consequence, we .'ire convinced that the project of Lord Palmerston, will never receive unv attention from the Northern pow ers, it hav ing been drawn up and sent without their parti cipation. The question ot Holland and Bel gium is however oi too vital importance* lor Jvu rope, and particularly for li. M. Louis Philip, to allow the Ministers of 1 lis Majesty to hesitate longer about bringing it to a close. It is abso lutely necessary that in I iis Majesty s speech at the opening of the Chambers he should be able to sav, “ Allah's between Be/guun and Holland are adjusted,” or else, “ lie arc compelled to have recourse to violent measures to bring about a settlement, of'the differences between Belgium and Holland.” You will communicate to Lord Palmerston the instructions we now send you, and you may add, that confiding in the friend ship of his Britannic Majesty, the French gov ernment considers it indispensable to send a note to the King of Holland, in the names of France and England, announcing to him that a short delay will still be granted him to give a decisive reply to the different proposals which have been made to him, on the subject of his difficulties with Belgium—that his silence will be consid ered a refusal to accept the said proposals ; and that the French Government will then consider itself obliged to have recourse to arms.” w-mrae instructions lurtimi uirccttiic rrcnch Ambassador at London, to invito the English Cabinet to unite with the French, in adopting coercive measures, if the demand about to be made of the Dutch Government, should be as unavailing as the preceding. While waiiinga reply from M. Durand dc .Mareuil, the French Ministers had frequently assembled to deliberate on this important subject. On the 171!i Sept, the Council of Ministers met, and long discus sions ensued, without deciding any thing—at last it was settled that each one of the Minis ters should reflect separately on what coercive measures should be taken ; and on the 18th it was determined to resume the old project of as sembling a fleet at Cherbourg, to act in concert with the English fleet. M. do lligney will com mand in person the French Squadron. Mar shal Soult has declared that it would take but 8 days to place Marshal Gerard with 30,000 troops at Antwerp. These resolutions have been sent to M. Du rand de Mareuil, that he may submit tie m to the consideration of the English cabinet. Grders have been sent by telegraph to assemble an army on the frontiers of Belgium, it appears that be sides the army of 30,000 men which is to enter immediately in Belgium, another army will be formed on tlie frontiers i.i case u large force should bo necessary. An angry correspondence lias passed between Baron Chasse, commanding the citadel of Ant werp, and the Belgium officer, commanding the town —no hostilities however, had taken place. Another account speaks of an arrangement which would subject every vessel entering the Schelde to the payment of a duty to the King of Holland of one guilder per ton. The accounts from La \ endec are again a larming. The Duchess de Berri is si ill there, and the royalist papers relate a number of ro maniic anecdotes concerning her and her hair breadth escapes. The French Ministry had not yet become or ganized. The Paris papers speak of different attempts made by the King for that purpose, but without effect. M. Guizot, the doctrin ire. was the last person with whom negotiations-haJ been going on. The Duke of Brunswick, whom it will be re collected was a year or two since driven from his dominions in consequence of his extravagant conduct, had been arrested by the French Gov ernment, and transported probably :o Switzer land. He had before been ordered to quit the ! country —having attempted to raise troops in France with a view of reconquering his king dom. It is stated in a letter from Lisbon, that Don Miguel had offered Don Pedro to settle their dif ference by a duel. There is probably no more truth in this statement, than there was in that circulated during the life of Napoleon, that the Emperor Paul of Russia had proposed to him to settle their disputes in public combat. Nullification began to excite considerable at tention in Paris. The address to their constitu ent*, published by the Nullifiers at Washington, during the last session of Congress, has been translated in the Journal du Commerce, with some articles on the subject from this paper and the Pennsylvania Enquirer. A Courier from Madrid arrived at the Spanish Embassy on Sunday, with letters from that capi tal to the 11th, and from Oporto to the 6th inst. The army of Don Miguel was verv much dis couraged, and dared not act on the offensive; the ■commaodont Lopez de Rigna, having little con fidence in the fidelity of his soldiersAhad applied ioi.is sovereign for new reinforcements. In a despatch addressed by the General-in-Chief of Dc n Miguel’s army to the Minister of the Marine, be s that unless the mouth of the Doure be blocked up, it will be impossible for him to at tack the rebels, whose forces are continually in , ere; sin 2. —Don Miguel afraid of sending out his fled, as Admiral Sartorius is still cruising off the . Tagus, has sent the despatch of the General-in- Chieflo Madr.d. 'Phis dispatch, it is said, was accompanied by a letter from Don Miguel to his | uncle Ferdinand, by which the former proposes I the son nig of some Sj • n ?h vessels to the Dou i ro, under the pretext ol iil treat men‘.said to have sen < ifireti to the English Consul. The af fairs ofD n P o are I king a favorable turn, the nemy ventur* ah attack, he will bye de ! Dated. A retreat without attacking would be ; fatal to bun, and a state of inaction would not be i much better. The accoun-s from Spain are not very sal is factory. It is asserted by letters from ; Madrid, that in Andalusia, Jose Maria’s band of (JueriMas is increasing, and that two duels have raised the standard of liberty. It appears that : the Courier above mentioned brought instruc tions for Count ci’Ofalinto urge the conclusion of I the Portuguese affairs, as a prolongation of the j struggle might be of serious consequence to j Spain. Punts, September 18, 1832. The Official Bulletin of the Cholera, on Sun j day, states the deaths in the hospitals to have bet n 4, and at home 6. The new <• ises admir ed into the hospitals were 2, and the patients dis charged cured 8. During Saturday, Sunday and yes erday not a single death from Cholera j occurred in the military hosjuitals of Paris. The Swabian Mercury, under the head of | Rhenish Bavaria, September 9:h, says : “ The mania for emigration to North America still :n --i creases in this country. We have just learned that 30 persons, each possessing a Capital of from 20,000 to 2.7,000 florins, have agreed to make one common stock, and proceed to America.” The Sluggard Universal Gazette of the 12th inst. has the following, dated Frontiers of Poland, August 31 :—“Many of the Ukases now issued are not officially published. Thus the Ukase which declares the sales of landed property of emigrants n ill and void, lias merely been com municated by a note from Marshal Puskew itsch to the Finance Committee, stating that the will of the Emperor must be executed. The palace of tiie late Society for promoting Knowledge has been presented 1o the city of Warsaw. A great number of the Poles whom the Russians are in corporating in their army escape their fate by flight, and others by suicide ; yet there are many soldiers who still keep up their spirit, and though surrounded bv Cossacks who conduct them to Siberia, sing patriotic songs. Although the population of Warsaw has greatly decreased, the number of coffee houses has doubled. There the Russians spend their time, for private hou ses arc shut against them. The licentiousness of the women of the lower classes is without bounds. A translation of Mr. Fergusson’s motion, printed at Dresden and secretly sent to Warsaw, is circulated through the whole town.” ADDRESS Os the Executive Committee to the Temperance Societies in the State of Mew- York. That season of the year having now arrived when it is proper to commence active operations for the still farther advance of the temperance cause, the Executive Committee of the State Society deem it proper to throw out a few hints to their various auxiliaries in this state, not in the spirit of dictation, but with a desire to se cure, as far cs practicable, unity of purpose and unity of effort. \\ bile it is meet and desirable, that all should arise, and arise immediately to action, it is ab solutely necessary to success, that this action should be properly directed; for unless it is, much labour will not only be lost, but much good prevented. And as a means of giving the di rection required, it is necessary in the view of the Committee, 1. That every society, an i every member, should have their minds property imbued with a sense of the magnitude and importance of the work they have und /'taken. For the want of this many societies, and ma ny individuals, either entirely neutralize their exertions, or else their efforts are feeble, desul tory, and soon relaxed, and the work languishes. Let every one feel in regard to this reform, as the lathers and youth ot ? 7d felt in regard to A nierican independence—that the salvation of our country depends upon the issue. In ’7G free dom or slavery was the question ; in ’32 ruin, an i degradation and shame, or virtue, and peace and prosperity, arc suspended upon the result. 2. Let every society, and every member of every society, feel, that even now is the crisis of our fate hi regard to Intemperance. In all human probability, the labours of the j coming season, if properly directed, will turn the scale. Nothing is more certain, than that one more vigorous effort, similar to the one made last fall, will place the majority of the people of this state on the sale of reform ; and w hen that point is once gained the work will be compara tively easy, and the advance rapid. A stone rolls much more easily down than up a hill ; and to sail with the current, is less arduous than to sail against it. 3. Let every society, and every member of every society, remark, and keep steadily in view, the favorable circumstances under which the labors of the season commence. Another year of experiment has passed, and passed with success. Former theories have been confirmed —former facts more perfectly substantiated, and new facts disclosed ; a great er amount of tab-nt and influence has been en listed ; the prejudices of thousands have been removed, and light has been carried into every department of society. And there is another thing : the cholera in its ravages has not only furnished evidence in confirmation of former theories, but it lias developed a variety of new facts, from which the most unanswerable argr cß nants may be drawn. Now, unless men close their eyes, they may see, that the use of ardent spirit is not only unnecessary for persons in health, but that it absolutely invites disease, and prepares the human body for its ravages.—Most truly has the cholera been called the apostle OF TEMPERANCE. And there is one other consideration —this has been a year of great mortality among drunk ards and spirit drinkers. Montreal, and Que bec, and Albany, and Xew-York, and Philadel phia, and Baltimore, can all bear testimony to this fact.—And now those that remain are w ith in the reach of humanity, and with the death of their fellows so recently before their minds, ar guments and facts, if pressed home w ith zeal and kindness, may save even them from the drunkard's grave. And there is yet one other remark—the cho lera manifests such an affinity for the svstem of drunkards, that they have been not unappropri ately denominated cholera condvctors. E very intemperate man is liable to be seized with the cholera, and when seized he must be attend • ed —this atMnc'ance induces fatigue and excites [ alarm, the atmosphere becomes charged with , dealii and those who are not drunkards Jail the . victims o{ disease. In tins way every drunkard • is a NUISANCE, and endangers the lives of • respectable and useful citizens. And as long as > there is intemperance, there may without doubt ; ; be cholera —it may become epidemic in Ameri ca. The erreat law of seli-preservat;on then. ; requires that we redouble our diligence to re > move so great an evil troin cur land. ; 4. The Committee wish that every society, ■ and that every member, would end avor, In op. - j predate the-plans of the State Sock-tv, an I make ■ i an e/fort to corn/ than into effect, so far as prac . : ticable and ex: edient. We led a delicacy in speaking upon this one point, vet a regard to the interests oi our coun - ; trv and of the world, impels us to overcome : this feeling and to speak Ire' ly. 'I ue piuns of i | the Committee may he, and probably are. in fj some instances, not the best tliat could have ■ : been d vised ; and they may not be s ted pre t i cisdv to the circumstances cf every j lace. . ! And tb.e Committee wish, that whenever the f friends of the cause discover these or any other ■ ! defects, thev will apply the necessary remedy i ! and the proper modification. Yet when these | } lams are no* liable to any objection, except the I labor necessary to carrv them in o execution, . the Committee trust the *. iT- >rt will be persover iugly and successfully made. . | An 1 there is one plan, so perfectly feasible, . 1 and promising so much utility, that the Commit - ; tee make no apology for again pressing it upon i j the attention of their friends. We mean the | pirn of school district associations. Many f j towns, and even one whole county, have enrri ■ I ed this system into full operation, and the united . testimony of all such is, that its benefits are greater than the sanguine had dared to hope, i Last season it was our object to scatter mior ) mat ion. We then sowed the seed. This sea son we can, if we will, reap the harvest. Eve ry county society ought immediately !<> call up : on their town auxiliaries to arise to tins work, ( and afford them the necessary aid ; and town I societies should not wait for the county society, • blit “ arise and work.” With proper effort, the C first day of the year 1333 can announce to the world, that the state of New-York has a tem s pc ranee society in every school district, which, | like so many rivulets of mercy, shall carry the . benefits of temperance to every family and to ; every individual, and then uniting, form one ; mighty stream, whose waters shall go out into all the world, to cheer and bless the human fam ily. —Fellow-citizens: we ask you to arise to . this work without delay. Let but the feeling | spring up in your hearts, that it can be done, ; and it will be accomplished, i 5. Lot every society, and every member of every society, feel the importance of full and . correct statistical reports. It would be desirable that every society • should, this coming season, present an accurate return of the number of its members ; of the ; diminished consumption of ardent spirit ; and i in general of every fact which will be of ser ■ vice to the cause, and aid the Plate Society in preparing an ample annual report. And let it be remembered that a simple detail of j acts- — ■ statistical facts —is all that is desired. To col lect these, will require some considerable labor, [ but the benefits to be derived will be an ample ; remuneration. And let every society bear in . mind, that it is of itself a part of a whole—one . link in the chain —and if it is nut found in its i place, there is a deficiency—the chain is brok en. Last year many links were wanting, and some too of great importance. 6. Let every society be seasonable in all its operations , especially in sending in its report. For want of attention to this all-important consideration, much perplexity has heretofore i been caused. The Committee--will give notice of the time when they wish the reports sent in ; and when that notice is given, they hope to re ceive them without delay. Finally, 7. Let every society, and every in mber of every society, fix upon the highest taunt as the one at which he aims to arrive, and press onward, unceasingly in the race of re form. Our object—is to dry up every fountain of in temperance —to wipe away every tear caused by this vice—to render comparatively tmneces ■ sary, alms-houses, and hospitals, and jails, and penitentiaries, and state prisons—to drive vice, and th misery consequent upon vice, from our ; land—‘o perpetuate and hand down to those who shall come after us, the blessings our fathers bought with their blood, and to make our coun try, even America, the happiest and the love liest upon which the sun hath ever shone—to make it worthy of being the birth-place orTr.im mkx and the home of Americans.

To the Editors of the Richmond Enquirer. Charlottesville, Oct. 21, 1832. Sirs: —l have received the following com munication from Judge Barbour, which you are requested to publish. \ ery respectfully, vours, THOMAS W. GILMER. October 24th, 1-32. Sir: I bog leave through you, as the Chair man of the Corresponding Committee ofthe Con vention, which met in Charlottesville in June last, to make known to my friends in Virginia, my feelings and wishes, in relation to the divided Electoral Ticket lately presented to the people of Virginia. lam aware, that under the cir cumstances. in which the Committee were placed, and the resolution ofthe Convention, under which they acted, they could net have acted otherwise than they did. Recent events however, have excited deep so lici ude in my bosom, in relation to that subject. Within a very few days, and just upon the eve of the election, I perceive the opposition prints, in various quarters congratulating ;liemselv:s upon this division in our ranks, and exulting! v antici pating a triumph from that cause. If as these prints seem to suppose, their anticipated triumph should be realized —if, in consequence ofthe di vided ticket, it should happen, that the vote of Virginia should be lost to the present Chief Magistrate, it would be to me, a souive of the deepest regret. —For, from the commen cement 1 have been opposed to taking any course, which would in any degree, endanger his re-election. In this sentiment, I am persuaded, that my friends concur. Indeed, I knots, that some of those, who were most active in the Charlottes. ; j ! vijle Convention, did concur. I mav add, that there, as well as elsewhere, where my name has been presented to the public, the proceedings and resolutions, have all been confirmatory of this idea. Nor. do I consider this new ticket as indispen sably necessary to the attainment of the object j which my friends propose. For, if from the course oi other States, there should seem to be a reasonable prospect of my election, I think that the Electors nominated by the Legislature would in that event vote for me. If, on the contrary, from the developements in other States, the pros pect of mv election should appear hopeless, then i the electoral vote of Virginia, even it the ticket ’; nominated in my favor, should succeed, would be unavailing as i: respected me. Under these cir cumstances, it is my wish, that my tnenas throughout the Commonwealth, should vote for Tie Legislative ticket. I do not presume to dictate to them; but I feel assured, that they will receive these suggestions, in the spirit in which they are made. 1 indulge trie hope, that, in the present posture of political • tiki rs, they will agree with me as to the pro priety of this course. If. however, they, or any portion of them, should entertain a different ,i inion, 1 appeal to their candor and sense oi justice, for a correct appreciation of the motives e Teh have induced me to make this communi cation. With sentiments of esteem, 1 remain vours respectfully, P. P. BARBOUR. To T. W. Gilxiek, Esq.

O. ; OFFICE OF BOARD OF HEALTH, f November 4th. 1832. i Fellow-Citizens. —ln addition to tlie commum j cation made by His Honor the Intcndant, llit Board of Health have required mo to give this additional statement. A case of sickness and death, occurred in town yesterday, which has excited and con tinues to excite much apprehension. A sea man, named James Jackson, died hist evening it Eiliutt-street, of Epidemic Cholera.—The suit Jackson went from the city to the wreck—was on board the brig Amelia, and mixed with the passengers and crew on shore. Me was ex tremely intemperate and slept in wet clothes— exposed to the night air, which, in addition t< ids inhaling the foul air of the brig, is supposed to have caused the attack of Cholera of which he died. Jackson was taken sick on Friday ! night, brought to town the next morning and ■ died last evening. Such 1 believe, after a care ‘ ful inquiry made by a Committee from this ' Board, to be the facts of the case, and although 1 there is no doubt of its being a case ofSpasmo - die Cholera, yet Ido not see in it much cause ■ for immediate apprehension or alarm. The dis -1 ease was contracted on board of the brig, and the patient actually labouring under its effects when brought to town ; and while the Board feel it their duty to announce this case to the community, they nevertheless are confident that the cause of alarm must he diminished by the assurance that the proper authorities have been prompt and energetic in their proceedings, tak ing effective measures to prevent any further violation of the Quarantine Law. The public may rest assured that every pre paration necessary has been made by the Board of Health in anticipation of the appearance of this disease, in providing the means of treatment for the destitute without delay and in the best ■ manner. No other case has occurred in the city. J. M. CAMPBELL, Chairman- of the Board of Ileal Ik. (FT The Board of Health will meet atone o’clock, P. M. tin’s day—and may be expected to report daily, until all apprehension is at an end. We are authorised by the Intcndant to state that, according to the official reports from Fol ly Island, there have occurred, amongst the pas sengers and crew of the Amelia since their landing at that place, nine cases of Cholera and four deaths. Five now remain in the Hos pital, said to bo convalescent. No new case has occurred since Friday—Wo are also re quested to s ate that, in the opinion of the De puty Port Physician who visited the Island, the casus alluded to are generally the result of ir regular habits combined with extreme impru dence and exposure. Os the persons who have died, one was the servant, and another the child ol Mr. Johnston, the cabin passenger mention ed in the communication of the Intcndant. The others were steerage passengers. Ot the case of Cholera which occurred in Elliott.street on Saturday (and of which a par ticular account is published by the Chairman of the Board of Health) we are requested by the Intcndant to say that the subject was one of the individuals who had gone down as wreckers to the Amelia, and returned to the cilv: that he was a man ol'intemperate hqbits, had been very much exposed, had got very wet and continued long witii wet clothes on ; that he was taken i n about 3 o’clock, A. M. Saturday, and died about 9 tit night—that he was immediately buried — that his clothes, bedding, Ac. were all destroy ed—and the house in which ho resided abun dantly sprinkled with chloride of lime. No new case bus occurred in the city. We are further requested to state that the individuals who had so grossly violated the Quarantine Regulations by going to the wreck and the Island, and re turning to the city, were taken into custody on Saturday, and sent back to the Island in boats, under the command of Lieut. Holmes. The Lieut, delivered those who went in the boat with himselt, to Lieut. Knight, the commanding of ficer at the Island, but / or 8 others, who went in another boat, escaped and returned to the city about 8 o’clock. They were immediately arrested, and put under the charge of a detach ment of the Guard, by whom they were taken to the Island, and delivered to Lieut. Knight. Ihe persons at the Island have been liberally supplied with articles necessary for their com fort ; as no new cases have occurred either at the Island or in the city, and as the persons on the Island will be forwarded as speedily as pos sible to their port of destination, it is Imped that the public excitement will subside, there being at present no serious ground of apprehension in relation to the safety ofthe public health. The Intcndant earnestly requests thateditors of news papers will publish no statements in connec tion with this subject except such as mav be offi cially communicated by the public authorities. FROM TIIK CHARLESTON COURIER OF NOV. (). Brig Amelia. —According to the official re ports from Folly Island, it appears that there have occurred 9 cases of Cholera, and 4 deaths, since the landing of the crew at the place. Five now remain in the Hospital, said to be convales cent, and no new case has occurred since Fri day. These cases, in the opinion of the Deputy Port Physician, arc generally the result of irre gular habits, combined with great exposure. Later . —Accounts from Folly Island, received last evening, state that three of the persons who were sent back to thatlsjand by the City author, ities, because they had communication with the passengers on board the Amelia , have died, viz : a man of the name of Peter Betxer, who re sides in Elliott-st.; a sailor, named Collixs, and a Swced, who, we understand, died in the boat, jon the way down. We learn that one other of ! the number has been attacked with the disease. Tke Cholera, — Ibis disease is spreading it self among all the towns on the Ohio river. It has appeared at Pittsburg, Wheeling,and Mays ville, as well as at Louisville and Cincinnati, though in none of the first named places has it been yet very bad. In Cincinnati, it was, up to our last date, still committing great havoc. On the 24th ult. there were 18 deaths reported, and on the 25th 20 deaths. In Boston, one of the papers of that city men tions, on the 23d a report was made to the Com missioners of Health of five cases of map cholera, which had occurred in the city' ‘ ' the preceding twenty-four hours Twor-v' proved fatal.
