We have received from our
the Editors of the New-York Morning Courier
and National Advocate, slips containing Liver
pool dates down to the 17th July, and London to
the 15th. Extracts will be found under the pro
per head.
We have also been furnished, through the po
liteness of the Editors of the Charleston Courier,
City Gazette, and Mercury, with slips, furnishing
intelligence by the Elizabeth Campbell, arrived at
Charleston from Liverpool.
We will not attempt to disguise our feelings of
satisfaction at the result of the late election in
Kentucky ; separate and apart from all its influ
ence on the Presidential question, and viewed
simply as an expression of public sentiment in
regard to the conduct of the present administra
tion, and more especially in connection with the
character of Henry Clay, we feel gratified in wit
nessing the triumph oftiuth over falsehood and
error ; and the entire justification of the purity of
an American statesman, under one of the most
trying ordeals that our political history has ever
recorded. We look irnon the vote in Kentucky
as a verdict of acquittal, rendered by his fellow
citizens, on the charges of bargain, corruption,
preferred against Henry Clay by individuals
high in name and authority. And we are gratifi
ed it has been so.
We have long looked upon Mr. Clay as one of
the most able men our country has ever produced-
His ardent devotion to liberty—his sincere attach
ment to the institutions of his country—have been
exemplified in many important occasions. And pre
vious to the late Presidential contest, few men
stood higher in the confidence of the people. It
was with pain and regret, therefore, we saw
charges which we believed to be unfounded, mak
ing so deep an impression on the public mind.—
We deemed it the misfortune and disgrace of our
country, that the spirit of party, the breath of
slauder, could on so shallow a pretence, sully and
blast forever the fair fame which a long life of
faithful service had so dearly earned.
The result also gives us increased confidence
in the truth of a favorite axiom, That the people
however blinded by mo oentary error, will always
in the end be found on the side of truth and virtue.
The Dengue has been introduced at Wiscasset,
(Maine •by the brig Olive, from Havana. Some
cases have occurred. It is compared to the Rheu
matic Gout.
The Tlon. W. D. Williamson has been engaged
for several years in preparing the History of
Maine, from its discovery to the present day.
Proposals are issued for its’ publication.
Some spurious paper has been passed off in N.
York within a few days, purporting to be post
notes of “ The Washington Manufacturing Com
pany, at Whitehall, New-York.” A note of this
description for SIOO. payable 00 days’ after date,
was passed on Monday.
From every information we can obtain from
farmers in this district, says a Niagara, (U. C.)
paper of the 7th inst. the wheat crops will be light,
owing in a great measure to what is commonly
called the rust Spring grain will, we doubt not
amply repa’ the husband nan for his labor ; the
hay ca ne in fine, and we have reason to expect
that article will be sold low the ensuing winter.
Columbus, Aug. 23 The Creek Indians have
lately held their annual Council. One of the i
chiefs was arraigned for forgery and one for lying. 1
The Lnvpr Creeks have fallen in debt for the
provisions furnished them, seventeen thousand
dollars more thaji their stipend. The upper Creeks
made tbe most of their own provisions, and drew !
the m ney that was due to them. The Mad Ty
ger, the principal speaker of the Lower Creeks,
opposed emigration in open council.
A part of the troops ordered from Cantonment
Cfinch to Fort Mitchell have arrived at the latter
place, “’he object for which they are sent is not
known h .re —some say it is to further the emigra- 1
tfonof tue Indians to the west —others, that it is
to protc t the lower provinces from the depreda
tions ol he Echoes. We have heard that thev are
to be under the control of Col. Brearly, and we
hav also been told that they are to be under the
exclusive direction of the Agent. The latter, we
Ik. e, is not the fact, for this man ever since his
re- denee m the Indian Nation, has never been in
‘ vested with power which he has not wielded
against the rights and interests of this State.

Extract of a Letter from a South Carolinian,dated
Haiti h’/ore, August 1 ~>th.
‘•I am sorry to inform you, that the measures
you are about adopting are likely to produce a
very unfortunate effect for us poor Cotton Plan- ■
ters. A proposition is now going the rounds
among the Manufacturers, that if you adopt forced
measures for reducing the consumption of North
ern Manufactures; they will confine their pur
chases of Cotton to Savannah and Petersburg—
such is the pr< gress of retaliation ! And this may
bc'exterdcd to their purchases for shipment as
well as consumption. Then away goes the North
Carolina cMtofi to Petersbiug cr Fayetteville, and
the South Carolina to Savannah.”
The Augusta Courier of the 28th inst. savs
u \ very piomising specimen of sugar cane from
the plantation of Major George Twiggs has been
left In our off.ee for inspection. We are informed
that Major 1 wiggs byway of experiment, has 8
or 10 acres of the cane growing this season in
great luxuriance, on his plantation near this place,
and is preparing the necessary apparatus for nn- j
king sugar. The plant left with us had ten joints,
.but probably by the period of maturity would have
had fifteen. It is about an inch and a half in dia
metar at the first joint. VVe believe it is the Rib
bon Cane.”
The Boston Gazette, m reference to the recent
disturbances in the Massachusetts state prison ob
serves—“ It is a singular fact, that disturbances
have been much more frequent under the new,
than the old organization of the prison, which is
attributed in part to a dread of solitary confine
ment in the cells by night.”
Horse Thief. —A fellow named Smith, a short
time since stole a horse at W hite Plains, New-
York, and disposed of him in New-Jersey: hav
ing so far escaped detection, lie ventured to steal
another horse. In this he was not so fortunate ;
for being pursued, he was overtaken near New
//aven ; and, on Saturday afternoon, the villian
was carried through this place on his way to N.
Jersey for trial.
The foregoing is from the Bridgeport Re-publi
! can Farmer. We heard about this fellow, and
: his roguery was rather droll, //e gave his pursu
ers a long chase, and actually had the impudence
j to go back to Westchester on a sorrel colt which
I he stole in (leaving the one first stolen in
exchange,) and to offer to distribute along the
: road, in his journey to Connecticut the advertise
| inents which had been published, offering a re
ward for the discovery of the thief; which was
himself. We are pleased to see that he is laid by
i the heels.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
We have received by the Packet ship
Alexander , Capt. Baldwin, London papers
ofjuly 7, and Liverpool of the Brli, inclu
sive, from which we make the following
extracts.
London, Jay 7.—We had, by the pre
vious intelligence been pre pared for the
fall of Brahilow, but it was not till after an
assault of the most sanguinary kind. By
the official bulletin, ot which the following
is the substance, it will be seen that the
Turks defended themselves with the most
daring courage. At first the Russians were
compelled to retreat, bat resuming their
position ftilli great bravery and rapidity,
and a mine exploding on the ldtb, which
had not exploded the day before, an ar
mistice for ten days were demanded, but
refused, and only twenty four hours grant
ed. At the expiration of that time tho
fort! ess suirendered.
Russian Bulletin —The Mcssagcr des
Chambres , dated Sunday, July 6, contains
an official Bulletin of the Russian army,
date and from the Ramparts of Tragan, 30ih
of June, brought in 14 days from the Rus
sian Head quarters, by an extraordinary
express. The Bulletin contains at great
length the details of the siege of Brahilow,
wliicli surrendered after an assault which
cost the Russians a great ma>y men.
The bridges having been deemed prac
ticable, it was resolved to attempt to take
the place by storm on the 15th. All the
mines were to be sprung at once, and imme
diately after the explosion, the troops were
to mount the breaches. One of the mines, 1
however, blew up 100 soon; its explosion
hurried the officer who was to fire the se
cond mine, which did not blow up. Tho
third did not biow up; but amidst the j
clouds of dust and smoke which arose on
all sides, it was impossible to distinguish
the state of the breaches.
, The columns rushed forward to the as
sault; all the officers and generals were at!
their head, with the volunteers who had ‘
offered to be the first to scale the enemy’s
rampar t. Those on the right, to the num- j
ber of 120, succeeded in scaling the walls;
but, as they could not be supported, they
were all killed, except a subaltern officer,
who threw himself into the Danube. On
the left the same obstacles appeared; and
after a most desperate action, it was neces
sary to sound a retreat, which was effected
in great order, but with considerable loss,
for the fire of the Tuiks which was equal
ly heavy and well directed, redoubled
when they saw our troops retreat, and de
sirous of piofiting by their success to des-1
troy our works, tlvy made six sallies a- :
gainst the Regiment of Ca/.an, which re-j
pulsed them ail, and killed many of the en
emy At half past eleven, our troops oc
cupied the same position as before the at
tack, and the enemy had nut been able to
carry or damage any of our works. On
the lGih, the m ine which could not ex
plode the day before, was blown up by or
der of the Grand Duke Michael, and, on
the 17th, Turkish envoys came to ask an
armistice for ten days, promising that the
place should be surrendered if not relieved
by that time. The Grand Duke granted
them only a truce for twenty four hours,
which they accepted. The 15th saw our
Generals and troops rival each other in
bravery; but our loss was severe. Major
General Wolf and Major General Timroth
were killed, and six hundred and forty
men. Among the wouned are one Gener
al, three Colonels, sixteen superior offi
cers, and seventy five other officers, and
1,340 subalterns and privates many of
whom however, will be able ho return to
the ranks in a few days. The Turks de
fended themselves with a courage worthy
of the highest praise. Their loss in killed j
was, however, sensible, in the sallies which
they made.
Colonel Bibicoff, Aid-de-camp to the
Grand Duke Michael, has this moment
brought to the Emperor the keys of Brahi
low, which surrendered at the expiration of
the tmee At the same time news arrived
of the surrender of the fortress ofMatchim.
We find in some German papers, to the
Ist, which arrived this morning a long arti- i
cle, given as an extract from a letter dated
June 6, written by an English officer on ;
board one of the ships off Navarin. It gives
a very unfavourable picture of the Greeks,
and generally of the Philhellenists who had J
joined them.— The harbours of Navarin
and Moduli, lie states to be strictly blocka
ded to the great annoyance of Ibrahim Pa
cha, who, however, was in the want ofsup
plies, as his own men had just reaped the ,
haivest, and plundered the inhabitants of
ihe M<>rea.
1 he Quarter's Revenue. —The insurance
we gave < n Saturday that the view of the
■ Quarter’s Revenue was averv encouraging
one, aud that there would be a considerable
mii plus, has been fully confirmed.
London , July 6—l brail, according to
letters from liermunstadt, published in a
Paris paper of Thursday, was taken on
the 15th or l6tfi ult. But no official ac
counts of its capture have been received
The previous intelligence, however, in
formed us that it was hard pressed, and
every preparation completed for storming
it. Ghiuigevo, on ilie left bank of the
Danube, is to be the next fortress invested
a slrong place, which can be supplied
with provisions and ammunition from the
opposite fortress of Rudschuck.
A corps of ‘Turks is said to have sud
denly passed the Danube, near Widdin,aml
, attacked the Russians on the extreme right
of Gen. Roth, who is to besiege Ghiurge
vo. A short action took place, in which
the Turks had been worsted, and forced
to recross the river, not, however, without
loss on the part of the Russians Put as
this intelligence is mentioned only in com
mercial letters, it cannot be confidently
relied on.
A Constantinople article enumerates
the Turkish force, but docs not rate it
higher than 177,000 ineu.
The Lisbon Gazette, of the 18tli June,
publishes an official Bulletin, stating that
tiie rebel troops that were at Penafiel, had
been beaten by the Generals of the North
and of the Province of Oporto. The
‘Gazette’ gives an account of the execu
tion, on the 20th, of the nine students of
Coimbra who assassinated the professors
on the 18th of March. It states that an
immense concourse of people was present,
and that tlie criminals died penitent.—On
the 20th June, in the afternoon, the Portu
guese ship of the line Don John VI., from
Rio de Janeiro, arrived at Lisbon. Sho
sailed on the l ( Jlh March, convoying seve
ral merchantmen ; four for Lisbou and
three for Oporto.
Panama —Three officers of the engineer
department, in the kingdom of Belgium
have been directed to proceed to Panama,
in consequence of the Government of the
former country having commenced a nego
ciation for undertaking the opening and
compJetionjof a canal across the Isthmus of
Panama, to unite the waters of the Atlan
tic and Pacific Oceans. The celebrated
Humboldt advocates the po: iibility of ef
fecting if; and his Majesty the King of the
Netherlands is certainly a vast speculator.
Thames Tunnel —A public meeting
was yesterday morning held at the Free
mason’s Tavern, for the purpose of raising
a sum of money by loan, to enable the pro
prietors of this gigantic work to complete
their undertaking,
The attendance was both numerous and
respectable. The Dukes of Cambridge
and Wellington were present, and were
greeted on their entrance with loud aud
enthusiastic cheers.
The chair was, on the motion of the
Duke or Wellington, taken by C. N Pal
mer, Esq. M. P. who briefly opened the
business of the meeting.
The Duke of Wellington then rose.—
He assured them he felt honoured bv being
called upon to propose the resolutions lie
held in his hand There were many
splendid works In this country which were
the produce of private enterprise; but
there was none that could equal in glory
the undertaking they had assembled to
support The projectors had not been
deterred by the immense difficulties they
had to encounter, but had persevered till
their funds were exhausted. It was quite
certain that if money wine found the ‘Fun
nel could be completed, and from tbe soli
dity of the w ork there was no doubt but
that its durability would be only equalled
by its glory. Its advantages, both com
mercial, polirical, and national, they could
not fail to perceive and appreciate. The
noble Duke after some fuithei observa
tions, read a series of resolutions calling
upon the meeting to advance money by
loan on debentures for the completion of
the undertaking.
Sir E. Owen seconded the resolutions.
The Chairman ros (>, and announced that
the Dukes of Cambridge and Wellington
had each subscribed £SOO towards the
perfecting of this national work. H. Maud
lev, esq. £SOO C. N. Pallmer, esq. £SOO
Chantry, esq. £IOO, and various
other sums. The resolutions were then
put, and unanimously carried.
Several individuals addressed the meet
ing, and eventually near £6OOO was sub
scribed towards the desired object. Thanks
were voted to the chairman, and the meet
ing dispersed.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
By the Packet ship Win. Thompson ,
Capt. Maxwell, we have received London
papers to the evening of the 15th of July,
and Liverpool papers to the 17th, both in
clusive
Tne papers contain a full confirmation
of the statement we published sometime
since from Gibraltar papers, of Don Mi
guel being called to the throne of Portugal
by three estates of the Kingdom convoked
for that purpose.
r l liq London Sun of the 14th, in refer
ence to the accounts from Oporto,.says :
“ If all this be true, the general wonder is,
what could h ive induced the Portuguese
troops in Oporto and elsewhere to stand
up tor a Constitution which they -betrayed
i the first opportunity that presented itself.
It certainly speaks little for the Portuguese
people that the soldiery were not better
supported. When Saldanha arrived at the
i army he found the men in the power of
I the priests ; they would not fight, hut re
treated from eacii line of defence as Mi
guel’s troops advanced. It was supposed
1 that Oporto would be entered by Miguel’s
j army on the 6th, when vengeance would
have full scope. If the Portuguese them
selves can tamely bear the tyranny of Mi
guel, it matters litile to other nations.
When they expressed a wish, or attempted
to liberate themselves, the)’ received the
sympathy, and even the support ot this
country, but when they refuse to assert
their own rights, it would be idle in us to
interfere. Asa nation, the -Portuguese
‘are miserably subservient to the priests ;
even more so than in Spain; and while
they continue so bigoted in their minds,
and so degraded in their national charac
ter, there is little hope for their regenera
tion till some terrible visitation convulse
the Peninsula. Miguel has now assumed
the title as well as the attributes ol King,
and reigns in bis lonely Court deserted by
the Ambassador of every nation, except
that of Sardinia. Sir Fiederick Lamb,
one of the nmst honest and spitted Am-j
bassa'dors that ever represented the majesty .
of a free people, has returned to England
in the packet /
Turkey .- —Tbe Liverpool Courier of the
l6th July, says, “ The last accounts from
the East are to the 24ih u!f. at which time
the Russians who had removed their camp
to Karosson, were proceeding in an almost
uninterrupted course to victory In addi
tion to the capture of Brailow, two other
important fort esses had surrendered, Ilii
sova, on the Danube, and Kustendji, on
the Black Sea. By the possession of the
former of these places, the Russians have
secured the rear on the right and left flanks,
whilst that of the latter will enable them to
receive, with the greatest facility, supplies
of provisions and stores from Odessa,
in both places considerable quantities of
artillery and ammunition as well as military
stoies fell into the hands of the Russians
‘The Porte appears to have made proposals
to the Courts of London and Paris, and
seems to hang its hopes on them. The
Russian arms will not, we fancy, be thus
arrested. ‘The Sultan has published a pam
phlet to justify Ins destruction of the Janis
saries; a pietiy certain proof is afforded,
by tbe novelty ot a Turk condescending to
reason, that that measure is htid in bitter
remembrance by his, perhaps, not veiy
faithful subjects.*
July 14—In addition to tne arrival of
the packet from Lisbon we have late ac
counts from Oporto of the sth in t. giving
us the final issue of the demonstrations
made by tbe Constitutional army in favor
of Don Pedro’s Government. On the j
3d it appears the troops of the absolute
Don Miguel entered the town without any
opposition whatever. Count Pulmella, Sal- ,
danlia, Stubbs, and bis friends, had cm- I
barked in the Belfast steamer, and thus
ends an incidont in the history of Portu
gal which will sully its pages to the end of
time ; it has been a revolution as infamous
and unprincipled as ever was commenced,
and lias been opposed in a wav equally ,
disgraceful in men who have so loudly ‘
boasted of their loyalty, their courage und,
devotedness to the Constitutional system.
It appears upon the entry of the Miguelites
they had hitherto abstained from plunder ;
the English, who had all embarked, had
again re-landed, but we fear little reliance
can be placed on the s lttelites of the new
nißde King, when be is informed that the
city ol Oporto is in his power ; his equally
worthless mother will now he enabled to
glut her revengeful feelings against this un
fortunate town, which, more than any part
of Portugal has hitherto proved an obsta
cle to their accession of absolute govern
ment. m
The Funds. —Consols closed on Saturday at
88 1-8 for account, and opened this morning at
the same price, advanced to 88 3-8, and a few sales
made by parties desirous to realize,depiessed them
to 88 1-8 sellers, but they are now buyers, and
for money 86 5-8 3-4. New 4 per cents, are bet

public are disposed to buy this stock, conceiving
the liability of the reduction of the interest on
this security is still further removed by the finan
cial measures of Government, as regards the
Sinking Fund,as it seems impossible that Four per

may be considered almost as impossible in the pre

SURRENDER OF OPORTO.
The hopes of the public are finally dis
appointed with regard to the result of the
anticipated struggle in Poitugal, and Mi
guel I, its absolute king, now reigning with
as little opposition or control at Oporto as
at Lisbon. In the former city he can even
command a double round of illuminations,
a double explosion of Te Deums and sky
rockets, of piety and gun powder, for add
ing military success to his kingly elevation.
By two vessels which arrived yesterday, off
Dover, (ihe Jane Brown and the True
Love,) we have received letters from
Oporto of the sth inst. inclusive, and no
thing could be more disastrous to lire Junta
than the intelligence which they communi- j
cate. The army of Dun Miguel I. was
then in possession of the city. The troops
of Don Pedro had been completely dis
persed, and their leaders had taken refuge
on board the steam boat in the Douro.—
Such order as the Miguelists mean to give
and maintain had been perfectly establish
ed, and no trace existed of any resistance
to the usurper’s power. The English fa
milies who had embarked with their books
and treasures on board ilie ships of war or
merchantmen in the river, seeing that no
plunder or disturbance followed the entry
ol the absolutists, had either disembarked
or were about to do so, in order to return
to their homes and resume their business.
Fhe work of confiscation and plunder was
reserved for the natives who had hoisted,
without being able to support, the standard
of fidelity and freedom The force of Don
Miguel in Oporto is stated to amount to
10,000 men, and 30 pieces of cannon—
probably a great exaggeration. A body of
guerrillas which endeavored to reap its
harvest of pillage aud confusion had been
resisted and expelled by’ the force appoint
ed to watch over the tranquility of the
place. The constitutional troops have dis
banded without striking a blow. Those ot
them who can make then peace with the
Miguelists, will again enter the ranks,
while such as are of higher lauk, or more
deeply compromised, wri
make their escape - ut of the
sea or land. It would appeal ih (J ; ,
