IMPORTANT EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE
.Neiv-Vouk, Nov. Sit).
The ship Minerva, Copt. Hussey, ar
rived last night from Liverpool, whence
*he sailed on the itllii ultimo, in compa
ny with the packet ship York, The lat
ter ship has the packages of papers for
the New-York editors; and as Ca.pt. H.
brought none, we are all indebted to the
politeness of some of the passengers,
who have furnished a London Morning
Herald, of Saturday, Oct. 23d, and Cob
betfs Weekly Register of the same date
—the latter being furnished to the Jour
Tinl of Commerce. The intelligence con
tained in these papers, wears an impor
tant and ominous aspect—particularly
from France. The Spanish Refugees
have in ide their iirst demonstration, and
have been signally defeated. Distur
bances have broken out in Kent. Rut
we will treat of these matters separately
and in detail.
FRANCE.
The tone of the various letters and oth
er advices from Paris, is not exactly the
same; but there is a general agreement
as to the prominent facts, which renders
it very evident that the present govern
ment trends a volcano. The latest Par
- > date is Oct. 22; but there is in fact no
later news than down to the evening of
the 21st. Cobbctt's Register of the 2-' !< 1,
contains in a postscript, the following ex
tract from a letter written by his son, in
Paris, on I lie 21sl;—
" Lafayette has lost his popularity and
influence with the National Guard, who
have the charge of the prisoners. 'These
guards are demanding (heir elections oft heir
officers, A:, preparatory to the great office,
they will make sure of th e right men. Last
night, at the Palais Royal, after the
King came from Versailles, the people
sang the Marseillaise Hymn, and called
for the King, when he came to the balco
ny, they’cried v 2 murttes minis! res' After
that they went to r.aother place,-where
there are chai. s, and some of the best
singers got upon them. They sang the
Marseillaise, with their huts off, about fitly
times, and after every time, cried 'Mori
mix Ministers ——‘ l,a trie dr. Polignnc it dr
Pryronnet aumi, and kept up the concert
till a late hour.” 'That is “Death to the
Ministers!” “The head of Po lignac and
Peyronntt also' - !”
t T pon this letter Cohhett himself re
marks:—“l have no doubt at nil, that it
the new government da not change its course
quickly, it will he tumbled down. It is
clear that the lives of these vagabonds
[the Ex-Ministers,] is not all. The peo
ple are discontented with I fir while thine.
They And that they have accomplished
no real change. The cry for the heads of
the tyrants is, in fuel, a cry fur a republic.
Eiiis is plain frutli ;.und we are convinc
ed ofit the hotter.”
On the2l st. English Sovereigns were at
22 sols premium—upon which fact Cob
belt remarks:—“'The French funds will
become nothing in less than a year.”
The Chamber of Deputies, which ad
journed to the l()lh of November, is con
voked for the 3d, by letters addressed to
ea li of the members at his own house.—
The number and urgency of the nlliiirs
with which the ('handier will he occu
pied, render it desirable that tho recess
should he as short as possible. Ofthc
110 elections, 120 will lake place on the
2! -a ,uul 2Sth of October. They will thu>
hr- terminated by the 3d of November,
nad the greater part of the new member.*
will have arrived by this time.
From the jMonilcur of October 2is/.
Last,Sunday, at the time of the grand
riview of Versailles, the number of flags
being found insufficient, at the moment
that the turn came to the National limn'd
of Mendon, this guard obtained permis
sion to procure its flag itself at (he Pa
lais Royal. It came (his morning at
nooi^preceded by its band, and drew up
tindop the windows of the King. Ills
majesty descended, accompanied by Ids
two elder sons; and by Gen. Lafayette,
lie himself presented the ling, and the
battalion defiled before him. The
King pronounced, on this occasion, some
ol those words which impress them
selves so deeply on the hearts of those
wlio hear them ; and the troops and spec
Tutors replied with the most lively accla
mations.

Tranquility has been restored, ami
confidence is returning; hut the crisis is
hat postponed. After olTecting the- re
volution of July last, tho people retired
from the scene, leaving tlie styjscqiieut
arrangements to those whom they deem
mon* competent to the task. Led to be
lieve that ninmcuvro and trick were a
bont to he used to screen from justice the
Ministers who had signed the ordinan
ces which had provoked the revolution,
the sanio men re-appeared on Monday
night last, and proved unequivocally that
they were as capable of a new dibi t as
on the evening oftheSTtii July. Persna
«led that there was no intention to cheat
justice of its victims, they once more re
tired.
Having been an eye witness of the
whole of the transactions, I can aver that
the. persons held in check hy the immense
military force arrayed at the Palace
Royal during the last two nights wen
no! the men of whom I have above spo
ken, ami who effected the revolution.
The French Government must take
care to keep good faith with the people.
No cause for doubting their sincerity
must he afforded hy Ministers. I am
sure they are (rank and single minded,
but they must not only be pure, but un
suspected. If their purity and impar
tiality shall remain unquestioned—if the
confidence of tho people be once more
reposed in them, I shall still rely on tho
justice, perhaps the magnunimit v of the
men of the 27th. 28th. and 2flth, of July:
but if the slightest appenranceof shuffling
be perceived or imagined about them, I
shall apprehend much worse than the im
molation of lour victims.
While I state that the men of die p jul
bourgs have not appeared at the Palais
Royal since Monday night last, I cannot
supjwese the facts that assemblages of
the people took place in the Faubourg
Mt. Antoine last night; that instead of
dispersing when called upon to do so by
a patrol of the National Guard, they sur
rounded the latter, and would have dis
armed them but for the opportune arri
val of another body of National Guards.
You may expect, from lime to time to
hear tlmtemmissaries of tho disaffected
succeed in producing temporary or local
excitement; but you may rely upon it the
muss of the people are disposed to wait
the issue of the trial. What the issue
they contemplate is, you may conceive.
From this very unpleasant topic 1 turn
to one not less painful—the slaughter of
the Spaniards and Furissians who enter
ed (Spain last week, and which was an
nounced yesterday evening hy the Mes
snger des Chambres, The accounts of
the disaster, rest, it is said, on a despatch
received by M. Augcdo. Hopes are en
tertained that it is incorrect; at least that
the extent of the misfortune is exaggera
ted. On general principles the Parisians
would lament this discomfiture and des
truction of men seeking to free their
country; hut they would have also pe
culiar and private reasons for sorrow,
should this melancholy intelligence be
confirmed. A considerable number of
Parisian students, who had fought so
gloriously and so successfully in the
cause of liberty in Paris, having at their
own expense, proceeded to the confines
oftSpnin, to join the brave Spanish Re
. fugees, entered with them, and have, it is
reported, been cut oil'to a man.
'The news from Hcigiinn is of a cheer
ing description. The King's speech, on
opening Parliament, will, it is expected
Jie still more satisfactory to France.—
There arc in progress very large specu
lations. Tor a rise is expected to take place
, in the French Funds on receipt of that
document, and which we shall have this
day week, it is quite evident that one
, obstacle in the way of a good under
, standing between the two Governments,
is about to be removed, by the withdraw
al of the principafpart of the French Ar
. iny from Algiers. The unequivocal dc
. ciivation cl France, that she seeks not to
I retain her African conquests, will, it is
. believed here, form a striking paragraph
in the forthcoming »{Ksech of William
IV; but other circumstances may arise

The Morning Herald gives the follow
ing editorial view ol the preceding ac
counts—presenting them in tln- fairest
light of which they arc susceptible ;
l 'The intelligence in the French papers
is of importance. Paris, so lately a prey
t> commotion, w hich seemed to threaten
’ at one time to compromise the very ex
istence of the Government itself is now
1 resto ed to the most perfect quiet and o
' icdienee to the law. 'This happy result
is tin-joint fruit of the devotion and vi
| gour ol the National Guard, and the per
sonal limitless of the King. 'The crisis
w a- hy all accounts, one which required
all the energies of the friends of order
and the existing state of things. For sev
eral days—indeed from the day that it
became generally known that the Cham
bers, the Ministry and tho King had dc
e ared themselves friendly to a mitiga
tion ofthe punishment ofthe cx-Ministers
a feeling had begun to develope itself n
’ aiong the populace at Paris strongly de
precatory of the
gence. This feeling found its first vent
through the revolutionary journals: then
• it was proclaimed through the occasion
al cries of “Mart mix Ministres!” from
1 small assemblies ofthc people, hat at
s length it became the cry and rallying
■ word of the mob ofthe capital. Tiimuh
• tuous movements were Ihe consequence.
• and in the streets of Paris, widen have so
1 lately witnessed the overthrow of a mon
arch,' by similar instruments, they be
came a matter Ot deep concern, and no
L “ small alarm to the government. Upon
‘ the nights of Sunday and Monday lust
• the populace assembled in great numbers
» in the courts of the Palais Royale, and
• under ti c v ery w indows of the King.
s They did not conceal that their object
was to overawe the government, and de
-1 cr it from pursuing the course of mercy
which it has prescribed in the case ofthe
unfit incite tenants of Vincennes. The
n authorities were than taken hy surprise
1 and did not immediately take repressive
L ‘ measures; but upon the night of Monday
' die National Guard, the grest bulwark

a victory,which, under other circumstan
ces, a Monarch might take for enlarging
his perogative. cannot be apprehended In
these, as the National Guards, whilst
they constitute his, strength, are also a
guarantee that he does not abuse his
power. Upwards of 200 of the mob are
in the hands of the police, and amongst
them is said to be a number of the family
of Prince Metternich. It was said that
agents of the ex-Monarch were the princi
ple promoters of these disturbances. The
National Guard was about to be further
enlarged, so as to embrace every French
man at all removed from the ranks of
the poor —The Chamber of Peers were
to meet on the 11th of next month, and il
was understood that the trial of Polignae
and his fellow prisoners would be pro
ceeded in without delay. With respect
to Spain, the accounts in these papers
are unfavorable to the Constitutional,
ists. The Queen of Spain had presented
Ferdinand with a daughter, born upon
the the 10th of October, and which re
ceived the name of Maria Isabella Lou
isa. The child is the also styled “Prin
cess of the Austrins,” which shows that
the King is determined to treat the Sali
<jiie law as of no force, and to exclude his
brother Don Carlos from the succession.
This gives great offence to the Cariists.

MOVEMENTS OP THE SPANISH
REFUGEES.
The Paris papers of the 21st, contain
the following bulletin from the Liberating
Army in Spain:
On flic 11th October, at 3 o'clock, the
brave C?ol. Valdes marched into Urduch,
with a force consisting of 400 men.
He was received throughout the coun
try with shouts of “Liberty forevel*!” and
1 the acclamations of joy at his approach
were unanimous.
‘ On the 15th he reached Zurgarmurdi,
where he met with the same reception.
’ The inhabitants display in every direc
tion Urn greatest enthusiasm at bis arri
’ val.
A detachment marched towards Vera.
[ Upon its arrival the inhabitants hastened
to crowd round the “liberating soldiers."
and the most cordial feelings of fraterni
‘ ty exists between them.
1 In consequence of the vast number of
■ patriots who have just joined the corps
’ ofthe refugees, Col. Valdes has been ob
liged to devote the entire day to the or
ganization of the force now under his
command.
He will resume his march upon Yrun
on the 17th.
His glorious enterprise could not com
mence under more favourable auspices—
and they presage u decided victory.
All good Spaniards, anxious to contri
bute their nid for obtaining the liberty of
their country, arc hastening to quit
Franco, and range themselves under the
banner ofthe intrepid Valdes.
The signal has boon given. Spain
summonses all its children to its delive
rance, and no doubt they will nut be deaf
to its voice.
Zugnrrunuirdi, Oct. 10.
From the Courier Francois, Ocl. 21st,
There is much talk at the Exchange of
a telegraph despatch, sent from Bayon
ne by the Sub Prefect, announcing in
substance, that the corps of Gen. Valdes,
amounting to 800 or IKK) men. bad been
surprised nnd completely defeated, 50
only having escaped to take refuge in
France. It is probable that there is some
exaggeration in this account, and that i)
has boon got, up to favor some specula
tion in the public funds. 1( is not impos
sible, after the laic events at Bayonne,
that the Bub Prefect would not be favo
rably disposed towards the Constitution
alists, and that he may have received too
credulously the first vague rumors which
1 came to the frontiers.
The truth appears to bo, that on the
| Ifith Valdes occupied the Villages of Ur
dachn aiu| Ziigarramundi. Eight hun
dred royalist troops were four leagues
distant, and made no offensive movement.
On the 1 Till a skirmish took place bo
1 tween Valdes and the royalist troops;
about 30 of the Constitutionalists fled to
the French territory, which they soon
* quitted, to rejoin their companions at Zu
* garramundi.
1 The hostile conduct ofthe Marquis do
J Bt. Priest towards bis country, has re
ceived a recompense at the Court of Fer
dinand. The Prince hits heaped honors
and pensions upon the Ambassador, who
" was unwilling to mount the national
cockade. He has conferred upon him a
Peerage, with the title of Duke of Alma
zau : nnd, notwithstanding tlie penury of
■ his Treasury, he has given him a pension
of 0000 piastres (30,(100 francs.) and a
command, 0000 reals in value, nearly 15 -
j. 000 francs.
Upon the foregoing statement, one of
the Paris correspondents ofthe Morning
. Herald writes us follows, on the after-
I noon ofthe 21st:—
s “The news so industriously circulated
» yesterday by the banker of the Court of
. tSpain respecting the arrival of a teiegra
i phic despatch, announcing the destrnc
. tion of the Spanish Constitutionalists
. under the command of Valdes is entirely
i (iilse—no telegraphic despatch of this
. nature having reached government yes
r terday. TheMonitenrofthisday relates
- it only ns a report circulated, and by no
means as a despatch that had arrived,
. There is, however, some levity on its
part in countenancing such a report. The
f Const it at ionnel nnd Le Temps alone had
■ the good sense of refraining from the an
-1 nouneement of this false despatch.
But this morning a real telegraphic
j despatch arrived, which announces Mi
nn and other Spanish chiefs having en
. tered the Spanish territory. Valdes
still preserves his position at Zagarra
* murdi. Forty men of his column returned
’ to the french territory to provide them-
- solves With arms they stood in need of,
r and which they could not procure in
i Spain.
t Gurrea was to have entered on the
i 17th byway of laca. Milan*, Bulges,
s Grase, and San Miguel, were to have
c entered Catalonia at the same time.
I Thus, is the invasion completed. The
r efforts ofall (Spaniards arc going to con
i cur in the liberation of their native coun
try. All the Journals of Paris have suf
> sered themselves to he myslilied by tbe
r imposture of M. Aguudo.
The two last preceding extracts cor
f roboratc each other; but the following
> article being later, seems to put the mat
l ter at rest. It is published in a postcript
• ofthe Morning Herald, from the Meesa
scar dcs Chambers of the 22d.
I It was for the good of the Spanish
- Constitutionalists that we yesterday
. pointed their discords. & thnt we preach
-1 ed union to them. Wishing heartily the
i progress and triumph of their cause, we
should have desired, lor the moment, that
they had renounced establishing it by
violence, being well assured that the ma-
I jority ofthe public mind in the Peninsula
- is little disposed to adopt their principles
i in their full extent. Tied by diplomatic
. engagements, shrinking from the idea
. that its condescension might occasion a
i civil war in a neighboring country, which
it would ho clillicult to check afterwards,
in the midst of the elfcrvescence of pas
sion amongst the various parties, the
French authorities had given orders to
stop the refugees on this side of the fron
tiers. But ail these means to save thorn
from the blows that were to strike them
were useless. The town of Bayonne had
almost experienced an insurrection of
its inhabitants, and of the National
’ Guards, against the authorities, both civil
and military.
The gate of the Marine Promenade
, was opened, the Spanish Liberals pre
cipitated themselves through the outlet,
went to form n junction nt VilleFranchc,
I and on the 14th, crossed the frontiers at
, Ainhue, led by Valdes and Vigo, from
SOOto 000 men in number. Events have
, sadly confirmed both our anticipations
and our fears. A Her some success, which
inflamed their hopes, this troop has been
1 surprised and destroyed. A telegraphic
r despatch from Bayonnc’stntestliatscarcc
50 men have escaped from the disaster,
'lay such a lesson not discourage the
’ refugees, but make them feel the neces
sity of moderation and concord ; may it
. teach them to concert their measures bet
ter, to secure to themselves support in
1 the interior, and prepare the cl -ments of
success by the communication of iilcas
’ and sentiments! They will then, perhaps,
meet with more sympathy in their own
country, and perhaps, as we said yester
day, the measures found to lie necessary
will soften calamities, and reconcile all
parties.
The defeat of Valdia is confirmed by
the news received to-day, but it is said
that Mina is determined upon entering
- Spain in order to collect the remnants of
the division of Valdes, or to penetrate
still further into the eouhtry, with more
numerous nnd better disciplined forces,
or finally to counter-balance, by this de
monstration, the moral effect produced
by a first check. Valdes (who was said
to have been taken or killed) succeeded
in making his escape, with n few of his

MODE OF CULTIVATING SUGAR CANE.
►several planters iiute iniule an ► x,> r
nnent in the mode of cultivating cane,
as practised in Cuba. The main point
is to obtain a thick regular growth. The
use of tlie plough and hoe is altogether
dispensed with—but the tops and leaves,
are left upon the ground, forming a co
vering six inches in depth, which besides
■ tlie fertility it adds to tlie sod,prevents its
being washed by tlie rains, effectually
protects the ratoons from the frost and
prevents tlie growth of weeds. Thos
fields which have been managed in this
manner are said to he the finest in tlie
country, and it is believed by those quali
fied to judge that tliey will continue to
afford (as in Cuba) without further trou
. bit* abundant crops for twenty or thirty
years. VVeure assured by a gentleman
who lias a small field managed in tins

TIIK GOLD MINKS.
Wc understand that tlie United States
troops, who have for a few weeks past
■ been stationed in the Cherokee nation to
remove unci keep off the intruders upon !
the gold mines, have been ordered to 1
winter quarters, and the gold country is
again exposed to tlie depredations of ail
who choose to commit them. Two com
panies passed here on Friday last, on
their way to Savannah and Charleston,
tlie remainder have gone to Fort Mitch
ell. Already have a numerous company
resumed their illegal labors, and it is pro
' Ruble they will soon he joined by others,
desirous, to acquire a portion of the pre
cious metal.
\\ e would here remind all those whose
love of Gold is greater than their regard
for the laws, and who will hereafter be
entitled lo draws in the land lotteries
that may hereafter he made, that one lea
tare of flic hill on the subject of these
lands now before tlie legislature, pro
vides that no person, who is known to
he engaged directly or indirectly in dig
. ging gold on the land now occupied by
the Cherokees, shall be entitled to a draw
in any future land lollory.
At an adjourned term of the Superior
C ourt for Hall county, held last week,
George Tassels, a Cherokee Indian, was
. convicted of the murder of another In
. dian, and sentenced to he hung on the
34th of December next. It is expected
(hat an cilbrt will be made on the part of
i'assels to carry the case before the Su
i pretne Court of the United States. On
the right of the jurisdiction of that Court
over cases arising between this State :
and the Indians, there are various opin
ions amongtho gentlemen of the bar; hut
us far as we can judge, it is probable tlie.
i Supreme Court of the United States will
, not interfere in the decision of our Court
on this question.— lb.
