‘Paris, Nov. 30.—-Unewduiw# is ftlt anew as to
'the eoiisoqaeivrM of nn mstirrectimi at Lyon*.—
' For th« In/:'. nvj day*, more cnnfidcuco was felt,
'ierante the operatives themselves hail ro-cstab-
lishnl or.tor hi tint city, and it was hoped that
the (Jovermneiil would (eel the necessity of |utt-
ti’ip mi end to tlto iiutirreciiuu by nets of cletuett-
vy. ^;mr, however, one knows not what to
think, seeing that Government makes uocotiiuiu-
uirniiotM of its intentions. The official paper of
today eoutaiiii only an article, to assure the pub
lic that IrmPpliliiy prevailed at Lyons, but uol
ono Word as to the purposes of the tioveminent.
Meanwhile that city is still in the Inmdr of theop-
vrativei, while troops nro inarching on it from
;vcrv part of France. The cabinet, it is kuown,
nscmlde daily to deliberate on this matter. All
•;in«s Jeml to the belief, that it is intended to gain
•issessiou of the city by force of arms, and that
aa eotieessiou will he made. It is said by Gov
ernment men, that life ministry will resort to .«e-
vrrr clemency, that is, they will cater Lyons uncon
ditionally; and in arms, und that after that clem
ency will have its turn. A general amnesty will,
; is added, ha granted, excepting three or four in
dividuals, who will he surrendered to execution.
Two couriers arrived yesterday tit the olliee of
forefca affairs—one from St. i'etenhurgli, the o-
ther front Vienna. If tvenre not misinformed, it
would seem that (lie despatches of one of those
Couriers had special reference to-die expedition
.of Don i’edro again .t D.in Miguel. The Kuisiuu
mid Austrian cuhiuets zealously, it is said, insist
that tlw expedition shall not take place, and are
even remonstrating against' it with France and
England, svho desire that it sbouhlbe undertaken.
Iris asserted that through the efforts of Austria,
•Hon Miguel had been prevailed upon to receive
'.Domna Maria for wife, but that Don Pedro*
replied lie would never givo his daughter to a
perjured usurper. A similar answer, it is report
ed, was madedioth in Francoand England.

"Extract of a letter dated,
London, Kov.MO, 18111.
lu this country all is still, liko a serene day be
fore a tempest. One thing utoue I believe will
save the nation, vis. the creation of Reform
Peers sulUcicut toearry the Reform RiU through
the House of lairds. That once effected, ami the
Taxatiou hotter regulated,—the people will be
quiet. .Should the Lords and llishops again
provo refractory,—slischargc tho llishops and do
nway with the hereditary Peerage, ns they have
<b>ne in Franco. Should tho Reform Kill again
bo rejected, tho middle ordors of society, with all
the lower aud soma of the higher, nro well organ
ized, and tho vengeance of tho country willbo
directed agaiint the Lords, and tho llishops, with
tlio. Established Church, all most givo wny,—
41/00 tenths of tho pcoplo being opposed to tho
Auti-Reformers, and slavery, as they stylo their
present condition. It was with difficulty that
tlio House of Commons and all well-wishers to
tin country could control tho great mass of tho
people when die'last hill was rejetted; and thou
only by tho promiso rff (ho Ministry that a "bill o-
qually efficient should he passed immediately.—
Since it is known that the Commons are to ns-
jwinblo for that purpose on the (ith of December,
will is still and quiet. No trade—all looking for
ward with fear, and paying very little regard to
that dreadful disease the Cholera Morbus, w hich
Jias appeared nt Sunderland and Newcastle in
Its worst Asiatic form. It wilt no doubt soon ho
in this city; 'hat a revolution would ho much
worse, and is more feared, ns it is computed tliorc
ore 30,QUO thieves, and 50,000 characters equally
ns bail, rundv at all timos to ii\urdcr, burn and
plunder. I almost wish I was out of tho nlaco,
and if it wero May, 1 would leave for .tho tailed
-States.
Another drsWvery of a dreadful kind is now un-
tlerntivustigatiun. *1 menu tho Burking System.
1 have longbcou satisfied that tho body-snatchers,
or tlioso who furnished bodies for tho surgeons,
were iu the habit of murdering the worst of pros
titutes, beggars and vagahnvds, by giving them
stimulus m tho shnpn of beer or cm; and then
.smothering them. So long ns tney confined
themselves to persons tvhn had none to look after
them, no great alarm was felt or notice taken of
the m tiler. Rut of late this horrid traffic lias not
been con fined to tho outea-ts of sock ty. The
security with which it was enrriod on, has em
boldened tho wretches to make way with some
very respectable people, whose bodies have been
sold to tho lurceons. This has brought a few of
tho principal Barkers before tho Magistrates, nnd
M doubt they will bo Imng. Should either of tho
principals bo allowed to turn Kiug’s evidence,
•they will astonish tho public with the number
•who have been murdered for tho sttko of their bo-
■dies. (A good subject is worth !)/, to 10/. 10s.)
‘The tale will ho a dreadful one; ns these .fellows
mro little hotter titan cannibals, having -murdered j
fiuo healthy males nnd females of rcspcctnhlo
families, cut them up, aud sold a log to nno per
son, on arm to nnothor, See. and when they could
not gel their price fornll tho parts, they have bu
ried tho residue iu the garden.

Mr. Mooro docs not hesitato.to stnto that tho
'•cholera was raging in Smyrna to a very frightful
oxteut, aud probable tho disease had ttevor been
more fatal iu any city where it has existed. From
forty deaths a-day, the tiumhcr had increased tu

At Constantinople tho diseaso was abating. A

ll'iishliigUm, J.w. 20, 1832.
There was some danger yesterday of a gener
al discussion of tho Tariil policy being brought
mi, in the consideration of u resolution offered by
.Mr. Adams, from tho Committee on Manufac
tures, calling fur information concerning tho quan
tity and value of manufactures, and fur sugges
tions con tertii tig tlio adjustment of the Tariil', af
ter tho payment of the public debt. I say “dan
ger," because such discussion would, hi my opiu-
iou, he premature, pending inquiries for facts ne
cessary for the obtniuim-iit of correct views.—
The temperate and judicious interference of Mr.
M’Dufiie. had considerable effect iu checking this
discussion at its onset; Mr. Carson, consenting to
withdraw an amendment which ho had offered,
and tho effect of whit It would have been to in
volve the House in such a discussion.
i believe some vigorous attempt will be speed
ily made to bring before the Semite the subject
of the dissolution of the Cabinet, with a view to
the lull discussion of. tho causes which led to that
extraordinary circumstance. 'It is hoped that if
this discussion should take place, it w ill be with
open doors, so that the people limy ho informed
of all which may transpire, it is generally ho-
tieved that tho rcasous which produced tho ex
plosion of the Cabinet, are yet but imperfectly un
derstood. They ought to lie fully known; for it
would be obviously improper to leave the histori
ans of our times to grope amid.-t darkness aud ob
scurity to find materials, when it is iu the power
and the province of thoso who aro the prominent
actors in tlio great scenes of the day, to have the
mystery cleared nway, and every fact developed
to the eye of tho world. The fate of a proposi
tion to discuss tho subject may bo doubtful, hut it
is probable, I think, tl;at but a few days will c-
lapse, before tho effort will ho tnndoiu somu form
or other; and if tho Anti-Jackson strength shall
lie concentrated on the question, the measure will
doubtless prevail, and tho disclosure of facts
will speedily follow, cither to tho Senate iu con
clave, or through the Senatototho world.
. Another important debate will speedily be
pressed on both Houses. I mean tho question of
tho renewal of tho charter of the Utiited States’
Rank. I understand that iu a few days, perhaps
even this day, Mr. Renton proposes to offer reso
lutions denying tho constitutionality, and declar
ing the mir.onstitu'iiniiility of tho measure. I do
not know whether tho object of introducing this
resolution is to anticipate tho debate which is to
be expected on the hill itself; but it is doubtful
whether tho friends of tho Rank will suffer them
selves to bo drawn iuto a discussion now, which
would ho more proper when tho hill itself shall
couto before Congress. The delay will uot be
long, ns I have reason to believe; a bill will be re
ported iu every way comportabie to tho known
wishes of n great majority of tlioso who under
stand tho operations of the Eiink, und their effect
on tlio general prosperity of tho couutry; and Unit
it will ho pushed through the two Houses with as
much celerity us would ho judicious, iu order to
discover what may ho the course which tho Pre
sident may think proper lopurstto, ii\ relation to
its signature. 1 have no doubt that he would ve
to any bill, which docs uol contain soiuo import
ant modifications, at least important enough to
givo him a pretty strong justification for abandon
ing his old opinions. Should he return tho l.’.l
with his veto, I ant of tho opiuion that it would
alienate from him tho votes of tho Northern
States, without which ho has no moreclmnco to
be elected again, than to be chosen King of Great
Rritain. .
A great Uncertainty still hangs overtbo futo of
Mr. Van Rtircn’s nomination. Rut, if 1 may bo
permitted to cxpresl an opinion, it is that ho will
he rejected. Next wcok will probably decide this
question, concerning which there is n deep nuxic-
ty .pervading the public mind. It is mu'.'Mood
that tho officer* of tho Government betray tlio
grcatcstihitcreri, and it is scarcely doubtful that
every experiment willbo made ou the firmness of
tlioso wbo nro known to bo opposed to .Mr. Van
Ruren.—Correspondence of the Charleston Court-
W.whisotux, Jan. 21.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr. Renton intro
duced bis resolutions relative to the illegality of
tho issues of the notes of tlio United States Rank;
and Mr. Clay offered a resolution calling on the
Secretary of the . jeasury for information on the
suljcit of tho Treasury fur information on tho
subject of tho construction of tho revenue laws.
The debate on granting leave for the introduction
of Mr. Renton’s resolution, lasted till five o’clock,
when tho questiou was taken by ayes and Does,
and rtjreteii, 25 to 10.
Ill tho llouso of Representatives, tho ccusidcr-
nfion of tha resolutions offered hy Mr. Eouldiu,
was resumed, hut not concluded, the hour having
expired. A memorial /rout tbo Rank of I’cuu-
sylvauia, on tho subject of tlio United States
IJnuk, was presented by Air. Wickliffe, and re
ferred to the Committee of Ways nnd Means,
with instructions to inquire into tho expediency
of chartering n United States Rank, ou conditions
which were specified iu tits resolution of refer
ence. After refusing a motion of Air. Polk, to
suspend tho rule appropriating Fridays and Sa
turdays to tiic consideration of privato bills, for
.tho pu/poso of taking up tho apportionment bill,
the llouso went into consideration of private bu-
tiuest.—Journal. , i

Ou Alonday last, an unfortunate meeting, com

took place near Fort Alitcliell, between General

which terminated in the death of tho former.—

on such an occnsioi
Iu recording this melancholy occurrence, hu
manity shudders at the reflection, that the talents,

liijrh and respectable in society—How surround
ed with fi ieuds—How closely united aud neces
sary to tho pence and comfort—yea, even the
necessity of. a wife and family—How useful and
important to the State, all must bow before the

ill the hilhicucc of ids fcllow-cltlzen-i-^but ho js

The debate in the House of Delegates is not
yet brought to a close. Sir McDowell of Rock
bridge' delivered his views upon the question on
Saturday, iu favor of some plan of manumission.
When he sat down, Mr Campbell of Rrooko
rose to say, that he was anxious to address the
House, but being ou the sanio side with Mr Ale
Dowell, he would prefer some gentleman ou the
other si.-lo to proceed with the discussion, lie
would yield tho floor for that purpose—but no
one offering, Air C. moved to lay the resolutions
on the table, which was carried by a smalt ma
jority.
Several other gentlemen seemed prepared to
take part in tlte debate; and wo aro told by per
sons, belter acquainted with thesigusof the times
than we arc, that tho quostion will scarcely be
taken before Wednesday.
When these resolutions nro disposed of, tho

been attending a Council of Chickasaw Indians
at the Choctaw Agcucy. The object was sup
posed to be, to persuade the Chickasaws to rem
ove with tho Choctaws to tho country provided
for tho latter, west of the Mississippi. It was
said however that the Choctaws would not sell
any part of the territory assigned them, and tho
Chickasaws would not consent to mingle with the

Cotton Markets.—Ry the arrival of tlio British
barquo George Wilkinson, at Charleston, we
have advices from Europe, to the 3d December.
The Liverpool cotton market remained in the
same dull state, us uoticcd in our former report;
nnd ns the mlviees received there, at that period,
from this country, represented tho growth of cot
ton in the United States, in 1831, to have been nt
leant 1,100,000 bales, with an excess of tho old
crop in this country, compared with tho stock of
the previous year, ou tho 1st of October, of about
100,000 bales, there was littlo, if any, prospect of
an immediate improvement in prices.
Holden of cotton manifested a disposition to
press .sales, aud tlio conscqticnco was, that iu
some instances, a reduction of an Jd wns submit
ted to. Tho sales, of tho week were 14,300 bales
—imports 0,040.
The imports of cotton into Liverpool, from tho
1st January, 1831, to 1st December, were750,000
hales, against 730,000 during the same period tho
previous season. Or Americau cotton, there ap
pears to have been no difference in the imports
during the first eleven months of each year, being
537,000 bales. It is probable that the imports of
cotton into Liverpool, during tho month of De
cember, 1331, were considerably less than during
tlio corresponding mouth of the previous year.
Tlio advices from JInvrc, of 2d December, re
present cotton ns being rather ou tlio decline.—

December It "Our present stock is reduced to

FROM LIBERIA.
By tho brig Criterion, Capt. Lowell, wo havo
received the Liberia Herald (published monthly)
of October 22 und Novcuibcr22. The arrival ot
the Criterion out, is thus noticed in the paper of
the latest date:
Arrival of the, expedition.—It is with much
pleasure wo announce the safe arrival of the brig
Criterion, with forty-five emigrant*, after a pas
sage of 87 days. They aro all in good health.—
Among them aro the Rev. Air. Cesar aud Lady,
members of the Episcopal church.
We are further pleased to learn that Airs. Cesar
comes out under the patronago of a few Indies of
Philadelphia, as an instructress; nud ns it is also
Air. Cesar’s intention to teach a school, we should
he proud to learn thatsomo benevolent individuals
iu tlio United States bail extended nu open Imud
towards him also. Our friends in America can
hardly conceive tho great need wo stand in of
nUo instructors, nud the many openings which
daily offer for tho labors of teachers.
Little Basca.—Whit new Spain was to the
old, and North Caroliua at tho preseut day is to
speculators from the Northern States, is Little
Rassa to our citizens. It is our land of promise
not abounding in gold or silver, but in tho far
more useful commodity, Camwood.
The Reach is lined with Liheriaus of nil ages,
from twclvo to fifty-years, eager in tho pursuit of
trnflic; and in tho acquisition of Camwood; mid
it is astonishing what littlo time is necessanr to
qualify even the youngest to drivo ns hard n bar
gain as any roving merchant from the land of
steady habits, with bis assortment of tin ware,
nutmegs, books, or dry goods. Here the simile
ends, for it is to be wished that our Liberians
would follow their prototype in the mother coun
try, throughout, aud bo as careful iu keeping ns in
acquiriug.
Tho Liberian is certainly a great man, and
what is more, by the natives he is considered n
whito man, though many degrees from that stan
dard; for to he thought acquainted with tho whito
mail’s fashions and to be treated as ono, aro con
sidered as marks of great distinction, among tho
BassAs and other nntions.
Littlo Rassa belongs to King Tom Rnssa,
whose wars wo have often laid before our read
ers, nnd if reports nro true, the contending par
ties arc cnch preparing for uiiotbcr effort as soon
ns the waters fail somewhat. Littlo Rnssa has
from timo immemorial been a place of resort for
sjavera, aud threo or four slavo factories still re-

beach repose his routaius. Our sensations, our
readers must bo well awnro, were great on visit
ing tho spot where stood his frame house aud bar
ricade; hut great as they really were, the sight of
his lonely dog wandering on the sea shore, almost
over his master’s grave, increased them. Is this
animal, then, the only ono that exists outlie ma
ny who were fed hy Ids hand? Natasteuoor
pillar remains of this mighty man’s wealth, and
the only articlo which was pointed not to us, ns.
his, was a large iron pot from which his slnvcs
received their pitiful allowance of rice. Wo
were told that there were two, but that Tom Uus-
sa in Ills last war with Boatswain broke up tlio
oilier forshot, audit hr very likely this will short
ly share its fate. It is really astonishing how in-
lutunted the natives are on tho subject ot the slave
trndo, und even during our short stfiy, gregrecs
wore daily nindo for tlio appearance ol n shiver
to enrich the coffers of tho Kiug ond headmen;
hut if wo auger truly, mmiy day* will elapse ho-
fore another seats himself as securely as did Dan
Aliguel on the bench. Of n truth, wc know it
would bo risking too much, siuco tho destruction
of Thompson and tlio Messurado. Tlio day we
hope is not far distant, when nouo of tlio coasts
claimed hy us w ill be polluted by tho footsteps of
a slave.', aud though wo cannot do aw ay the do
mestic slavery which oxisls nmoug tho natives,
wo may hopo to soften its rigors, by affording
protection to alt who flee within our immediate
jurisdiction, from its claims.
