the fright Hint seized Ihe people there, on the
appr. bended approach of the Cholera.
.Yets York. July 4, 1832.
Two days ago. the Cholera was officially
'reported to exist in this city. I wns nol here
when Hie news of its existence in Montreal,
enme tn ham!: and therefore, eannol give you
an account from personal observation of the
panic that then siezed the people: but it must
have been awful, from the nerounts that were
givinofit. Tli». which arose on the official
annunciation of the existence of the disease
here, two days ngo, was bad enough. I have
seen a good deal of it, and really it ts worse
than what prevailed in nm Stnte Inst October.

The nmrnded bill of the Sennln, as reported

Prance.—Tlio latest accounts from Paris
nnnmmrc that tlio movements of Ihe adheronts
of Charles X. and his family had begun to ex
rite a very general alarm among the friends of
the existing government. Troops were mar
ching from every quarter upon l.n Vendeo,
where the insurrection wns assuming a serious
aspect. It was even rumored thnt Marshal
lhiurmnnl, the conqueror nf Algiers, had as
sumed the command of tlio insurgents. It
was stated thnt, iry4cting nn thu offensive
ngninst them, nn less than five departments
must bo placed under martial law.
reived hy our translation from the papers of
the 8lh, that on the 7lh another attempt was
made in Parts, the first and principal attempt
having been made nn the 5th and suppressed
nn the 6th.
The papers ore literally filled with accounts
ol the depredations of the Ctiouans and Car-
lists, their seiges of towns nnd disarmment of
the National Guards, &c. &c. with the move
ment of troops and proclamations of tho gov'
eminent with regard to tho movement in the
South.
The Quotidienne, the BriiV oison, the Mode,

Orders were issued on the 7th of Jane, for
the arrest of M. M. Laboissiere, Cnbet and

The Messager des Chambres of the 7th of
June says, that the Ctiouans had token an im
portant city in tho west, and that serious dis
turbances had broken out in Caen. The same
Journal informs us that it was generally ru
m-red throughout Paris, that the Duchess
do liorri had been arrested.
The Constitutional says,—“ It appears cer
tain that there were found in tho houso of one
of the persons arrested, many assignats hy

Domains.”
M. le due Filz-Jamcs was arrested at his

The Jiltaek on the Malays.—Tho Presi
dent of the United Slates, in his Message, at
Ihe opening of the present session of Con
gress, informed them that he had dispatched
“ a frigate with orders to require immediate
satisfaction, nnd indemnity to the sufferers,”
of the Malays, who were concerned in the
murder of tho crew of tho ship Friendship, of-
Salem, Mass. Tho Frigate was the Poto
mac, Capt. Downes ; and on the 6th of Feb
ruary lasj, 300 men from the frigate, under
ihe command of Lieut. Shrulirick, effected a
landing about a mile above Quallah Button,
isle Sumatra, and in less than three hours
three Ions wero carried, nnd from eighty to
one hundred natives killed by tlio assailing
parties, with the loss of two men and several
wounded. The Malays were considered os a
nation of Pirates, and therefore not entitled to
the ordinary preliminaries of civilized warfare.
And it is on this ground that the attack is jus
tified.
It is generally believed thnt Russia, Austria
nnd Prussia, have expressed their regret at
not being uble to unite Portugal with Spain,

goes, s'.qted their roarth that such n project

of our paper this week, that Congress has at length
disposed of the two great and interesting subjects—ihe
Hunk nnd Taiifi bills. The Senate was unable lopaso
Iho Bank bill by a constitutional majority, and it rests
for the present beneath tho witiicring influence of old
Hickory’s VI. l O, and there mpy it remain forever, is,
or ought to be, the prayer of every friend to the con-
stitotion .l liberties of his country. This civil victory
obtained over the enemies of that glorious chart by tho
old Hero, throws into the shade even Ihe lame of bis
grcalesl military achievements.
Would we could thus congratulate the country and
its friinds, on a more auspicious settlement of the ngi-
lating question of the Tariff. That something howev
er, has been obtained by Ihc South—and something of
import ante too—wc cannot but believe. The first
step has biter, taken towards ihe accomplishment of
a great revolution—tire overthrow ofan odious system,
at war both with Ihc spirit and the teller of Ihc consti
tution, and Ihc interests of a large portion of the Ame
rican people. Let the South improve this victory by
husbanding tier resources—by recruiting her ranks
and by drilling them for ihe onset when the proper op
portunity of attack is again presented, and not madly
expend her strength and risk her glory and happiness,
hy rushing into unnecessary and hazardoua emprises.
The floor of Congress is tire field where a great battlo
has been fought and won, and the floor of Congress is
still the field (if she pursue*a prudent course) where
another and another triumph will add laurel to laurel,
until enfranchised and regenerated, ahe shall again sit
down quietly in the shade of her palmetto and cotton
plant, and bask in th* light of their glory.
