This hope shall never fail thee.
LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The packet ship Caledonia, arrived at
mew York brings London papers to the
4th Feb. and Liverpool to the sth. We
extract the following interesting items
from theNew York Courier and Gazette.
DEFEAT OE THE TURKISH
ARMY;
We learn by this arrival the entire de
feat of the Turkish army'under the Grand
Vizor by the Egyptian force commanded
by the son of -tie Pacha. This evont
(the particulars pf which are given below)
-appears to excited great inteiest in
Ahe capitals of the chief European pow
ers. The destruction of ihe power of the
-Grand Sigiiior was seriously apprehend
ed. Russia, it is said was has eniog lo his
succour, but demanded, as the price of
the intervention, the cession of the entire
principalities of Moldavia and Wa.iucliia
To this project of aggrandisement on the
part of the Emperor Nicholas, England,
France and Austiia have it is asserted,
expressed (heir decided dissent, and that
a French fleet under Admiral Roussin,
would be immediately despatched to the
Bosphorus, iho Admiral being instructed
to act as negotiator, or to assume a more
warlike character, as circumstances might
render expedient. Some accounts say an
English fleet would be sent on a similar
errand; alt agree that England and France
are acting on this occasion with a perfect
conformity of view.
The accounts from Holland show in
dications of a desire on the part of the
D inch people that the question with Bel
gium should be immediately settled.—
The Handlesbald of Amsterdam, an in
fluential and well edit.ed paper, expiesses
a decided opinion on this subject, and it is
confirmed by private advices from the
Hague.
The*Handlesbald contains the notices
that the Dutch Government has scut or
ders to the officer commanding His Ma
jesty's naval force in the Scheldt, 10 al.
low ships of all nations ro enter or to
leave the river to or from Antwerp, till
arrangements are made settling the terms
upon which passage will be permitted
The English, French, and Belgian flags,
are excepted from this measure, and re
main till further orders subject to the se
cond article of the Royal decree of the
26th November, 1832.— Brussels papers-
Feb. 2.
We have endeavored to ascertain if the
hopes which our lasi advices held out, of
a speedy termination of the war in Port
ugal, under the mediation of England and
France, were confitmed; bot the accounts
on this head are entirely contradictory.
Some say that Lord Henry’s mission to
Lisbon has entirely failed; others the re
verse, and that the two brothers will
qrpithe kingdom, leaving it with a re
gency under Donna Maria. Some say,
too,that Sir Stratford Canning’s embassy
to Madrid,for the purpose of inducing the
Spanish Government to give their assent
and support to such an arrangement,had
been unsuccessful, which others deny.
We must, therefore, wait farther inform
ation; meantime an entire change has ta
ken place in Don Pedro’s counsellors,the
Marquis Pelmella having been compell
ed to quit the confidential situation he fill
ed near the person of the sovereign. The
reason assigned is, he traucended his in
structions. No military movement of
any consequence had taken place at O
porto.
It is said that the emperor Nicholas
tad refused to receive Marshal Maison
;i* Ambassador from Louis Phillip, in
'.oiisequence of the Marshal having,
addle Minister to Vienna, declined assis
:.rg at a fe'e given there in hpnor of the
Emperor Nicholas; that he had also re
fused to receive Sir Stratford Canning as
Ambassador from England,for which refu
sal no reasoO is given, nor can we ima
gine any. Thw Royalist party in France
appear to be still active. The health of
the Duchess-do Berri is seriously affect
ed, and her release, with that of the Min
isters ot Charles X. is spoken of. Some
disturbances had t&Jten place at (>iichy,
in the environs of Paris, and at Marseil
les, though not of a serious nature. The
Royal Court at Paris has decided that
the Viscount de Chateaubriand shall be
prosecuted. for his pamphlet entitled“Me
morre'-sur la' Captive de Madame la Du
chess de Berri.”
The Parliament of Great Britain and
Ireland have commenced their session by
the election, in the House of Commons,
of Mr Sunon as Speaker. The King
would deliver his message on tho sih.
CiH»bett has made his debut in that body
in Hris accustomed style* —He has publish
ed a singular letter, denying that he had
ever been natualized in this country.
Mr* O'Connell, it is said, but we do
not believe it has, been offered by the
present rainisfers an office under- the
crown.
Highly important to the West Indies.
We copy the following article from the
Lnndan Globe, of Jan 29.
The West India inteiests were thrown
into considerable alarm yesterday by a re
port that it was the intention of Ministers
to introduce a bill into the new Parliament
for the immediate emancipation of the
slaves in the West Indies. It was stated
the purport of the bill was to limit the
existence of slavery in die colonies to
three years, and that it was not the inten
tion of the government to offer any com
pensation to the planters or proprietors.
In consequence of these rumors, a depu
tation of gentlemen connected with the
West Indies waited upon Lord' Grey,
and had an audience of the noble Earl at
the Treasury yesterday afternoon. They
requested id be informed whether it was
true that it was the intention of the
government to emancipate the slavepopu
lation ? The answer, we understand
was in the affirmative; and that a bill
fur that purpose would, on an early day,
be submitted to the consideration of the
new Parliament. It was also intimated
that three years would be the period fix
ed for the extinction of slavery—that the
emancipation of the negroes would be un -
conditional, and that no compensation,
except under special circumstances, would
be allowed,
Sir Alexander Grant, who headed the
inquiry of ther noble Premier whether it
was the intention of the Ministers
to anntionce this important measure in the
speech from the throne at the opening of
the session. Lord Grey replied that the
measure had been formally decided up
on, but he could not without deparing
from the rules of courtesy give auy inti
mation of the sentiments which his Ma
jesty would communicate in his addre>>
tu both houses of Parliament Upon it b*
ing represented to the noble Earl the pro
bable consequence which ensue
in the colonies in case those measures
were prematurely ann« unced, his Lord
ship intimated that the government were
prepared to meet the exigencies, and
that an imposing force, consisting of
15000 men, would forthwith be sent to
the West Indies,
This is said to be the purport of the
convention which took place, after which
the deputation withdrew, and communi
cated the result to their friends in the
city. We beg it to be understood that
we make these statements upon the rum
ors which were generally circulated in
the city yesterday among the West In
dia circles.
This afternoon the business of the
Collonial maiket has been suspended by
the announcenieiii that his Majesty’s min
isters have made slavery a cabinet ques
tion: report adds that slavery will be ab
olished in three years, and that no com
pensation drill be given. This announce*
ment has occasioned great agitation, and
most of the West India planters have
withdrawn their sugars from sale, to await
the issue of this gi eat event
[The West India Deputation had a
conference with Lord Godetich on the
2nd ult.]
DEFEAT OF THE TURKS BY
THE EGYPTIANS.
The following account of a great bat
tle be ween the armies of the Grand Sul
tan; and the Egyptians, in which the for*
mer was defeated., with the capline of the
Grand Vizier, [the Prime Minister of
Turkey],is the most important item by
this arrival. It is as follows:
Constantinople, Dec. 26.
The greatest gloom prevails here. The
Sul|un and his people appear to have fal
len into a state of apathy, indicative of
a total dissolution. The former gives up
his case as despernte, and does not ven
ture To excite the people’s minds b arti
ficial means, lest, he should not be able
to calm them again and keep them with
in bounds. The unfortunate result of the
battle of Koniah, and the captivity of the
Grand Vizier, leaves the capital without
means of defence. There are still, per
haps 30,000 Turkish troops dispersed in
Asia Minor, and 10,000 regolars in re
serve, but their spirit does not correspond
with the threatening danger, nor is (here
any able leader possessing sufficient self
confidence, and who is considered as able
to restore good fortune to the standards
of the Sultan. Redschid Pacha was the
only man possessed of these qualifications.
His former good fortune has desalted him,
and gone over to his younger adversary.
He fought valiantly, and when his de
feat was decided, devoted himself to
death, which .however, he did not find.
Superior to.his adversary in tho number
of his troops, he unhappily did not act
with prudence, which an able General
should never lose sight of. He resolved
on the 21st to fight a battle which should
decide the campaign at one blow. With
this view he followed Ibrahim into the
defiles of Karaman to attack him there.
Hi» measures were nearly as follows:
the main body of the Sultan’s troops,
about 42,000 in number, chiefly Albani
ans, and £OO of the Grand Vizier’s house
hold troops under his own command,
were to make the principal attack oTj the
centre of the Egyptians, while the Turk
.
ish cavalry divided into two corps of 6,006
men each, was to engage the wings of
Ibrahim's army, and attack when it should
see an opportunity. Ibrahim, perhaps,,
guessed this plan, and favored by ‘the de
files had sent strong, columns against the
Grand ViXier’s wing; leaving in the cen
tre only sufficient troops to cover his
movements. He had scarcely reached
the extremity 6f ihe wings of the Grand
Vizier, when he impetuously attacked the
Turkish cavalry and dispersed it. add
then attacked the Grand Vjzier himself
on both flanks. '
Unprepated for this attack, and engag
ed with the Egyptian centre, which had
alread broken, he hastily collected some
of his best troops to oppose ihe Egypti
ans, but iri vain. Nothing remained but
to make the enemy pay as dear as possi
ble for the victory; which was qnavoida.
blej this was done, and the Egyptians did
purchase their triumph by a sanguinary
conflict of six hours duration. The l»ss
bn each side was nearly equal.. . When
the Albanians were -dispersed, the Grattd
Vtz'er, with his faithful household troops,
defended himself to the utmost, till he
was wounded and taken prisoner. The
Egyptians are said to be now so weaken
ed, that even now, if the Turkish troops
in Asia Minor could be assembled <1- ick
ly enough, they might be, compelled to
make a most dangerous retgaytr 1 But
they need not fear this. j:

which will prevent fermentation on the
voyage; it has been contracted for at 15s.

thus be laid down on the wharf at the rate
of 325. lo 335. per cwt. and it is calculated
that one half the weight will be sugar.

Emigration.— Yesterday the ship Sam
son, for New York, with emigiants and
passengers for the metropolis and its en

Dock. There are on board about 100
mechanics, tradesmen of small capital
and agriculturists, many with wiyes and
families, who intend settling in4he United
States. The Samson was taken in tow
by a steamer, and proceeded in gallant
style down the river.
FroM the Philadelphia Pennsylvaian.
Washington, March 12, 1833.
I have often thought of giving you an
account of the last presidential drawing
room—a true and accurate picture with
the lights and shades taken from nature.
I have never seen any such thing in
print, otherwise I suppose it would have
been pnt into satin, and hung up in la
dies’ boudoirs. Some of your readers
may not like these whip syllabubs—l
don’t care for that. I write to suit eve
ry taste—sometimes to please the philo
sopher—sometimes the politician—some
times the trifler—often to please the la
dies—and as often to please myself.
John Randolph is right—” I please my
self first and satisfy half the world—or if
they are not satisfied, whht care I V*
The last drawing-room «f the last
presidency was a great affdir. We had a
splendid crowd-*-a splendid snowstorm
—splendid belles —and splendid doings. A
couple of young gentlemen and myself
chartered a Washington. hackuey coach
for two dollars, to convey us there, and
deposit us again at Gadby’s, who is, by
the bye, making money by far too rapid
ly. We resolutely determined to have
the worth of our money—so we went- at
seven o’clock, at the opening of the great
east room, and did not lea-e till eleven
when every Christian had departed.
It was a most glorious s iow-stordl.
There is something delightful in going to
a party through a storm. The snow,
rain, or lightning cheers up the spirits,
and makes enjoyraeut doubly enjoyathfe.'
I advise every fashionable family hereaf
ter, to set down their parties for the ffrs.t
stormy evening always. It gives life,
variety, and excitement to the occasion.
Daughters look better, and engagements
always come to something under vivid
lightning and comfortable peals of thun
der.
The costume for the drawing-room
used formerly to be the best ball dress
for gentlemen, and the most exquisite for
the ladies. In Washington's time, gen
tlemen made their appearance in swords,
chapeau-bras , &c. See. according to the
mode adopted in Versailles or London.
Not so now : we are more republican.
Every body dresses as he pleases, and
people go in boots so as to be comfort
able. If you go with ladies, however,
go in a ball dress,jout of respect to them,
and to show a handsome foot.
We reached the great hall of the presi
dential mansion before' any, body appear
ed. We sauntered aboqt awhile, look
ing at the lights and pilasters, and then
entered the famous east room. It was
brilliantly lighted up, and well warmed.
In a feir minutes a couple of ye«mg‘
girls—rather pretty—attended by their
beaux, made their appearance. They
took a comfortable seat by the fire, and
chatted and flirted away at a very easy
rate. A curious fellow, with a huge dread'
naught coat, appeared—walked th/ough
the roont—admired the chandeliers—,
never moved his hat from his head—
looked round iff every direction, and
then walked out. The truth .is, the draw
ing-room is a most promiscuous assem'
blage.—Every body goes to it—from the
highest to the lowest—in any or every
habiliment—and sometimes very curious
characters are seen in the crowd.
- About eight o’clock, the President had
taken his position in the receiving room
—one of the two side rooms, which run
off front the east room to the left. Heie
every party entered from the great ha I
—went up to the President, and was pre
sented in the usual manner. A gentle
man generally carries up two ladies—one
on each aim— but someti mesa very chlvf,
ric fellow will take three or four undei
his iviog. He is considered ag brave as
a Moslem who does this ieat.
In a few niiuutes, the President was
surrounded by a circle composed of Se
cretaries, Lady Secretaries, Ambassa
dors, attaches, <&c. See. The busy hum
of conversation then is heard—for every
body talks and nobody sits still for a mo
ment. Alter the presentation, the parties
generally file off lo the left passthrough
and anti-room, and enter tin gieai east
room. Here is the great theatie for the
display of beauty and fashion. A dense,
crowd fills this apartment —they promen
ade around for several hours, talking,
laughing, quizzing, seeing their acquaint
ance, cutting this one, and recalling the
acquaintance of the other.
1 could not help seeing every body iu
the city during this grand promenade.
On the evening in question, there vere
very few members of Congress pre.-mt —
the House sat to a very la.e hov on he
‘ bloody bill,’ or some other bill of trnni
lar description. The ladieo .vine -Kiss
ed in every variety of St costume ;
some of them certainly beautiful—others
expressive—others vacant —o ners chat
tering—otheis vapid—and a k*w quite
heavfenly. A Heavenly girl heie is much
the same being as a heavenly creature
at the opera, or a fancy ball—t r a plain
oyster party in Philadelphia., The gal
lants are all anxious to get around her
—to “ trot her out,” as the saying is—lo
promenade her around the rooms.
I saw a couple of splendid western
beauties, who destroyed the peace of
several quie’ minds and made work for
protocols and pacifications. Tho south
produces elegant women, and the valley
of the Mississippi wonderful ones. There
is an originally—a raciness—and also a
little of the doles far niente among the
women of the west, which is eminently
attractive. They touch the confines of
civilization with such a daring giace,
that the precise petits maitre s of the At
lantic are thunderstruck, or turned into
gaping statues at their fascinating wild
ness and enchanting audacity. A wes
tern or southern belle, iresb from the
woods, is a sealed book to an Atlantic
dandy. He cannot understand her ;he
has not tho key ; she is beyond his vision.
To know them propeily ; to estima’e
accurately ; we must 'have been lost on
the Alleghames ; shipwrecked on a for
eign coast; drank sherbet with the Turk,
lasted the river Jo>dan, or been killed
and eaten by pirates. It is quite dis
tressing to see the Atlantic belles pick
thejr wav through a crowded drawing
room. Thev sometimes stand on the
outward edge of the crowd, and look
despairingly to a friend at the other end
of the room, as one would look upon the
3pires of Cincinnati from the pinflacles of
the Alleghauies, dr a traveller h ok across
the Arabian deserts. A western belle
dashes through the crowd as she would
through a river, mourned ou horse-back.
Nothing impedes her. She makes man
ners, and controls the rules of society as
she marches through it—throwing dan
dies aside as a ship does the billows.
The S' Uthern fine lady, glides like a
sylph ; full oi feeling, pa sion, and a touch
of nullification, just to give edge to her
conversation, and fire to her eyes. There
is no eating, n*» drinking at a drawing
room. Nothing hot conversation, talk,
wit, repartee, flirtation, and squeezing.
“ I wish,” said a big Kentuckian,” the
old boy would give us something to drink.
I’d take whiskey sooner than nothing.”
The drawing-rooms of Geueral Jack
son resemble those of Jefferson, more
than those of any other President. Be
fore Jefferson’s day, these affairs were
very set and precise. The European
model of presentation was imitated. The
people—the sovereigns of this republic
—did not relish this formality. Mr. Jef
ferson threw his doors wide open. Eve
ry body was'admitted, that bad the look
of a Christian and the raiment of res.
pectability. In Mr. Madisou’s time, his
celebrated lady gave refinement & grace
to these assemblages. She was the pre
siding spirit ; and, by her magic power,
she attracted every thing beautiful and
fit, and repelled every thing improper and
mat apropos.-The grace, beauty and ele
gaoce of her drawing-rooms are talked of
with enthusiasm, by all the old belles and
battered beaux in these regions. Mrs.
Madison was made for sociefy ; shp knew
its minutest stop, and touched each with
the finger of power. During the presi
dency of Mr. Monroe, the rechercheness ,
if I may be allowed to coin a word, of
drawing-rooms gradually decayed. There
were elegance, beauty, taste, as usual,
with a considerable portion of other in
gredients. In the time of Mr. Adams
they recovered their propriety and selec
tion, for a year or two. Mrs. Adams was
a very elegant woman ; had seen much
of court life, in Europe : and was desir
ous of vieing with Mrs. Madison, and
the 6rst presidency. She managed all
her drawing-rooms heFself, when her
health permitted. Mr. Adams had no
thing to tfo but give a few “ pump han
dle” shakes and escape to a corner to
talk about McMurrough and poetry ftith
the literati. She was an uncommonly
sprightly and gay woman, and delighted
everybody. Refre hments were hand
ed round to the ladies, in tltose days ; a
glass of ffegu# for the ladies, and a glass
of wme for the gentlemen. Duting Gen
eral Jackson’s presidency, the style of
Mr. Jefferson is restored. Every body
goes ; and one sees there every body. It
is the perfect “ high Change” of fash
ion,—Perhaps this is the best system.
An intemperate man was plundered of
several thousand dollars lately in Massa
chusetts, at cards. *He was a stranger,
and they took him in.’
“As drunk as David’s sow,’’ a com
mon saying which took its rise from the
following circumstance: One David
Llo>d, a Welshman,who kept an alehouse
at Hereford, had a livit g sow with six
legs, which was much resorted to by the
curious; he had a wife much addicted to
to drunkness, who having one day taken
a cup too much, turned out ihe soft, and
laid down to sleep herself sober in the
sty. A company coming to see the sow,
David ushered them to the siy, exclaim
ing, there is a sow for you ! did you ever
see such another?” all the time suppos
ing the sow had really been there; to
which some of the company, seeing the
state the woman was in, replied, “it was
the il'unkenest sow they ever had beheld.’
Hence arose the saying ‘*as drunk as
D tvid’s sow.”

We are indebted to frieuds at Washington for
copies, io Pampiiiel form, of the Speeches of

“Rumour of News.— The New York Courier
&. Enquirer of the 16th intt. s*»y»:—There is e
report that the packet ship Caledonia which
waif to sail o» the Ist February, is below, but it
does not rest on good authority.”
The above we copy from the Chronicle of this
morning. This news we received yesterday
morning, and our commercial friends have read
it and acted on it. We publish it iu our paper
of ta-day.
A friend, who was in Washington, informs us
that Secretary Cass had dismissed the Chero
kee*, unable to make a Treaty with them, ten
days before the passage of the ‘‘F.nforcing Bi 1.”
So much for the false rumor, which was intend
ed to operate on the excited feelings of this State,
to enlist its honest citizens against an adminis
tration, which has so signally favored our poli
cy. What does not Georgia owe to the admin
istration of Gen. Jacksou? Would not almost
infinite difficulties have been encountered under
ibe auspices of almost any other of our great
men? Georgians, think of this, when you are
importuned to raise the banner of opposition to
your friends. But we have no fears on this sub
ject. Georgia will not fail to stand in her pre
sent attitude ta the General Government. A
few long-tongued declaimers at Court Houses
and street corners, may blow till they crack
their cheeks. The President has too strong a
hold in the affections of the people to be shaken
by any ordinary wind from their confidence;
and they will mark those particularly, who
have recently discovered such great error in
tlieir former attachment to the President.
The Hon. L. Bkthune, a from
North-Carolina, in Congress, gives 4 -the follow
ing account of the Collection Bill to his Con
stituents :
THE COLLECTION BILL.
I voted for it. Every provision, with
out application to any particular State,
was designed to counteract the Ordinance
of South-Carolina, and the laws passed
under it. It provides that the president
may remove tho Custom-houses and se
cure the duties, beyond the Stale juris
diction to prevent seizore under the Or
dinance.—ln case the officers of the
United States should be dragged before
the State tribunals, and causes arising un
der the laws of the United Slates, be sub~
jected te the decision of the State courts,
it provides that the Judiciary of the Uni
ted States should lake cognizance of such
cases without obtaining a record, tefiich
the State officers under th,e Ordinance
are directed to withhold. And the bill
finally provides that should the s a s au
thority attempt to drive not only the laws
and judicature of the General Govern
ment beyond the limits, but to expel with
the military array, put at the disposal of
a sort of Dictator, the public officers es
the United States, and those friendly to
the Union who might be disposed la
support them in the [awful discharge of
their duties, that then the President
should he authorized to employ the force
of the whole country to put a stop to this
violent aggression. The Collection Bill,
as it was meant to counteract the Ordi
nance, will in effect, be repealed, by a
repeal of thip revolutionary measure on
tho part of fh4 SoulbtCaro lioa Convex
tion. South-Carolina cannot. therefoVl
complain of a law which she has it In he
power at any moment to repeal. Thi
Nullifies may call it a bloody bill so
political effect, but they have it in thei
power lo make it blank paper, if tbej
please. f

The following beautiful specimen of that spe
cies of rhetoiic balled rigmarole, occuis in a
speech delivered by Mr. Clayton of Georgia,
on the Collebtion bill*
“Go with me Mr. Speaker.to the scenb
of action, and let me present you the pic
ture which is furnished by the materials
of this case. General Jackson girds on
his dagger, and with cool and deliberate
step marches to the peaceful plains ot
Carolina: He seizes the first man he
meets, and exening the whole strength of
a great Government ho throttles him, and
with the strangling grip of Hercules,
chokes him to the earth.”
We know of nothing to equal this ex
cept the desetiption givin by the man in
Joe Miller, of his escape from a fut ious
bull, which coming at him like a thui der
siorm, he ran like lightning,and in sciam-<
bling over the feoce tore his breeches as
if heaven and earth were coming togeth

To make apple dumplings , take some of
the well raised dough prepared for bread,
work in some butter or lard, and put in
the apples in the usual way. Dumplings
made thus are as wholesome as bread be"
iog very light, and free from clamminess,
and of coorse easily digested; they are
much better than when made in the com
mon way. Pie crust made in the same
way, but rolled very thin, is far better
and more wholesome then the.- common
kiod.
