The Judge stated, that at the rust sc.-sion of the Legislature, the point would be tried, who was for and who was against Nullification. That the majority in favor of Nullification would he so great, all the other party would have to come o- ver—and if they did not, tin ir property ivnuld be confiscated, anil the scene of the Ikcolulion play ed over again. When 1 stated this conversation on my return to Greenville, I did not expert it would interest any one enough to call for the author—believing, as I did, that it was the common polities of tho lower country.

The second reading of the reform bill lias passed tiic House of Lords hy a majority of nine.

The Earl gave notice that the House would adjourn ou the 19th April to the 7th May, for the purpose it was supposed of making arrangements for tho final passage of the Reform Bill. The Belgian question appears to have been set tled. Ou the 18th April, the plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia exchanged ratifications with those of Franco and Britain. The Russian plen ipotentiary was very desirous that the exchange might be delayed if only for a day, as lie tvas hourly expecting authority from 8t. Petersburg, and wished to ratify simultaneously with them, butthey declined acceding. It is asserted that the King of Holland lias for mally resigued the sovereignty of the Nether lands, and acknowledged king Leopold.

Tlte cholera was ou the decline both os to virulence and extent in En- f land aud Scotland, hut increasing in Ireland.— n tho three countries it is with very few excep tions, confined to the most destitute and profli gate of the lowci orders. In Paris it is on the de cline, the number of deaths ou the 25th April lin ing only 193; it seems to be attacking ail ranks there, nearly all the members of the Cabinet be ing infected by it and unable to discharge tiieir •official duties. On the 21st April, the legislative session was closed in consequence ef it. M. l’e- rier had a relapse and was extremely low, liutcx- pected to recover. The disoasc was rapidly ex tending to the other towns and cities, and iu par ticular was raging with great violence nt Havre do Grace. Iudeeu the whole kingdom appears to bo paralyzed. Reports of a change of ministry arc circulated, another revolution predicted a warlike coalition of Russia, Austria and Prussia against France rumored, and it was confidently asserted, the French troops weie evacuating Ita ly, in anticipation of their having shortly suffi cient employment at home. Ollier statements say that both the French and Austrian forces were to evacuate the Papal territories simultaneously, so soon as the Swiss troops hired by the Pope ar rived.

The damage douctothe estates during the insurrection, is estimated at 33,334,885, and the cost of suppressing at $405, 000—amounting to neatly $4,000,000.

Jefore any decision on this amendment, tho Senate adjourned.

There is a reduction in the duty of 10 per cent, on worsted stuiV goods, from that bill. The re durtion on blaukets of 20 percent, of and under a value of 75 ceuts at the place whence imported, is ouly apparent, there being no blankets scarcely imported costiug as low ns 75 cents. Evcu ad mitting tho reduction of 5 per cent, on course woollen cloth, from the rates of Air. M'Lnne’s Bill, to be an equivalent for rcduciug tho mini mum on such cloths to 40 cents, ten emits less than Air. M’Lane proposes,still all o'her manufactures Tho eighth section of the hill, hy wlmii llrecp- nraisers are empowered to summon before them any individuals they may choose to designate, whether owners, consignees, importers or “other persons," and compel them, under penalty of a fine, to produce their invoices, accounts aud pn- corresvmidtvce, is of the essence of tyrauuy. We hone that such a proposition will he trowned down hy the Hoc so promptly aud decisively— Charleston Patriot. However the Lilt reported hy the committee 011 Manufactures, may ho objected i?» cuu '. ceding sufficiently to the general p, •neiples o commercial freedom, the 801161 has 110 cause ol complaint, wlien it is recollected that the jjreatci portion of the negro cloth imported, will coi/v in at a duty of only 5 per cent. The large mass ol the laboring poor at the North w ill under the Li*1 he taxed iu their clothing 50 per cent, thus increas ing the relative expense ol clothing the labourers of one entire section ol the Luioii by 45 p< I* cent.

This officer being acquainted with the Indian mode of warfare, ami suspecting an ambush, followed them as far as he deemed prudent, and then ordered his men to fall hack upon the main party. Although it was dark, the whole detachment had been ordered to remount, nud were met upon the route hy the men who were rctnnimg. Tlte pursuit was con ducted without nny regard to discipline, and had continued for several miles, the Indians receeding mid the troops advanced, until they had decoyed them across the Sycamore creek, as it is culled in the proclamation. This they did in disorder mul as each man scceessivcly reached it. Being thus decoyed into the midst of the main body ol the Indians, and without being allowed time to form, ■ —... hostilities were commenced. The Indians show- Gen.

As soon as their desne-! lie had, and yet lias, for believing that a trea rate situation was known, Alajor Stillman order- I will be made with the Cherokecs, sonic tiinettt cd a retreat across tho creek, after an ineffectual j summer or fall. Ho nlso states, that if this trr* fire at the enemy. The savages followed close ; ty should unhappily and unexpectedly fail.'to upon them. No time was uiiowed fur them to not be attributed to want of exertion on B"" form on the opposite bank of the creek. A com pany under the command of Captnin Adams ol Tazewell county, who were iu the rear, endeav ored to make a stand again A them and fought with desperation. About half of the missing are thought to have lielonged to this company. This battle was fought hy moonlight, in au open prai rie, and tho pursuit was kept up for 10 or 12 miles. The survivors began to artivo at Dixon's Ferry about one o’clock in the morning, mid af ter a sufficient time had elapsed, the next day for them all to have come in, the roll was called and fifty-two were found to bo missing. A few of those who escaped were wounded, and many had their hats mid clothes perforated with bullet holes. Some of tlto savages were killed, hut the number could not lie nseertniued. Various esti mates are given of the strength of the Indians; the number is probably between 12 mid 15UO war riors. By this victory they obtained possession of the horses of the slain, and of the camp equip age, blankets, mniinitiou, mid provisions of the routed militia, mid are, moreover, ucouraged to further hostilities hy the propitious omen of a first victory. Ou Tuesday last, tho militia at Dixon's Ferry, amounting to 1206 melt, were paraded to huiy their deceased comrades. When onr informer left them, on immediate ntirsuitmul attack of the Indians was anticipated; hut wo hope wiser coun sels may have prevailed, as defeat uould ho al most certain to follow such n course. The militia nro exasperated beyond nil hounds at the death of their country men, and n cruel aud exterminating war must lie the consequence On the other hand, tlm Indians have the advan tage of a perfect knowledge of the country—are inured to latiguo and privations ol every kind, and can nt any time seek refugo in the swamps which abound in that quarter. Fears were entertained at head quarters for the stifety of two or three small parties of men, successively sent with despatches to General At kinson. Nothing bail been heard from them; nor, indeed wns it known in what situation Geueral Atkinson was, when our informant left. Prior to the engagement, the'rcgular army and the militia hud formed n junction nt Rock Island, mid Gen. Atkinson was invested with tlte entire command. The militia, under Gen. Whitesides, being mostly mounted men proceeded to Dixon’s Ferry Ly laud. Gen.
