C.—The late pa pers contain the melancholy intelligence that the town of Fayetteville, North Carolina, was, on thc2 f Jth tilt, almost literally burned to ashes. The fire ia said to have commenced in the North west corner of Mar- bet square, then communicated itself to the Town bouse, and afterwards to tho other square, raying for three hours, and consuming not less than six hundred buildings. Only two stores were left unonnsumed; all the Uunks, the Churches, tho State-houw*, and nearly every dwelling-house, besides immenm- quantities of valuable property, were utterly destroyed. Much of the property removed, was afterwarda burnt in the streets and lots. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier cays, “ The Banks of Capa Fear and United States saved their papers. It is anid, hut I know not with what truth, that the specie in the U. S. Bank ia in tho ruins. For one third to a half mile square is a mass of ruins.” The same correspondent also informs that “ the fire was arrested North, near the Court house, Fast, below Liberty point; South, at the State Bank; and West, above Mrs. Barge’s Hotel.” 'Hie 1 whole amount of loss is variously estimated at from 750,OIK) to $1,500,000. There was much sulTering for the want of provisions and lodgings, blit the Police had very promptly appropriated $1000 for the purpose of provisioning a Warehouse, at which those who were' Still able might purchase provisions, and the poor sup- plied free of charge. No lives were lost by tho confla gration.

Tho news from France, compared with that front other F.uropcan countries, is not materially interesting. The principal item of intelligence is the prorogation of tho Chamber of Deputies by Louis Philip, which took place on tho SOth of April, and continues until the 15th of June. Tire King went on horseback to the Cham ber, und delivered a speech, in which he adverted to the glmious revolution uf July, to the in'ermediate and present state of affairs, interlarding *,c whole with dpecions promises and assurances of undimini died zeal ill the cause of bis country. He was loudly cheered by tho people,both on his way to tho Chamber, amt on •his return- The disturbances mentioned in onr previ ous accounts as having token piacc in Paris, on the 13th, lfitli, and 17th, amounted to nothing seriously al- "fflfffflT^Wc’moti were dispersed without bloodshed. I . . . . - j pride and seductions ot office have exercised an undue influence. The following are the reasons which Mr. Lumpkin gave in February last, for declining to accede to what he says, were the wishes of his friends; and also those, which he now says, induce him to cumc fore aid. We [dace thorn in juVa-posttion." (Here follows Mr. L’s. letters.] “ N “* m the first place let us ask, if the trust confi ded to Mr. Lumpkin, is nut us impoituul now, as it was in February last ? Ill the 2d, wltcthrr he has become convinced that he cannot he as useful in promoting the “political in terests” of tile State as he at first thought he was ca pable of doing t In the 3d, whether there does out exist at present as great necessity to counteract the monopolizing spirit ol a “ combination of small tniuuritiea” in (tie Congress of the United Slates, as there ever Uid at any previous period ? If Mr. Lumpkin will answer the first and last inter rogatory in the negative, and the second in the aflir- mative, wo will absolve him from the charge of incon sistency which we have priTcrrctl against him. It cannot avail Mr. I.., or Ids friends, to suv, that it is “ the will of the people" thut lie should be broiighl for ward. I lie people have never expressed any such will —neither have they given any one authority to do so for them. . 11 they have, when anil where was it given? The truth is, the declaration is made with a view to im pose upon the people. The Augusta Chronicle and redcral I nion, we believe, were the only two papers in the State that solicited Mr. Lumpkin to desert his post for an expectancy jn future, which Wc feel confi- dent, as wc have before said, he can never realize—un less, forsooth, the Editors of those papers can Convince that thuy-te portent nc< ot ticorgia vanetd by Col. Troup, will not ho denied; and tve pre Hiinte it will also be admitted that Mr. Lumpkin is the candidate of the Clark party. Your course is a plain one—oveiy man who delights in advancing those prin ciples which have been so clearly and successfully mark ed out by Col. Troup, will on the first Monday in October next, hasten lo tiro polls with his ticket endorsed— Gilmer. fVom the Columbus Democrat. “ We suppose it will not tie prudrnt to doubt any longer the fact of Mr. Lumpkin's being a candidate for Governor at the next election. Ilia Idler to our es teemed friend cf the Augusta Chronicle,consenting to become a candidate, and giving Ids reasons for that course, will bo found in this day’s paper. These rea sons pt l imps aro nearly us good as those which com pelled him, a short time since, to retain his post in Congress. But will they last as long? Will they sor vivo the l)og days. Abus verrons. Bur if our Ini'mis arc disposed to ion him, why let them do so; ourofler- ing an individual opposition will answer no good pur pose that vye ran conceive of; and reserving to our- selves the right of voting for whomsoever we please, wc will leave others at liberty to do the same.” -<S>- The Creek Indiana.—We have seen frequent accounts of the distress of this unfortunate people, and of the state ofatatvation to which they are now reduced, in consequence of the failure of their crops last season. Some ol them hud determined on removing to the West, therefore made no provision lor their support; but oth ers declined going, and the General Government, it ap pears, resolved not to aid a portion in removing, with out the remainder should go also. The expectations ofthe Creeks have thus been disappointed, am) from ] this cause arises the want and misery that exists among the hazard uf a charge uf repetition- It is fruui the Carolina Gazette : The Creek Indians. —An opportunity is now afforded to llnisn pliilanlliropisls, who have been moving heaven and earth for the well be ing of the Indiana, lo put their charities into a less equivoral form, and save from absolute starvation, the perishing tribes of the Lower Creek Indians, now occupying the border ter ritory of Alabama,at its junction with Georgia. Their hunting grounds having long since been worn out, afford no game; and the severities of the past season, preventing the growth, in a grent measure, of their usual slock of pro visions— limited as that always lias been—to gether with their personal exposure to the in clemencies of a winter, almost unparalleled in our Southern country, has not only already greatly thinned their numbers, but has left the residue in a condition, little short of absolute starvation. Lured by the artifices of design ing men among them, they have boon persua ded in opposition to their obvious and best in terests, to remain in a section of country, in which, hemmed in as they are by the white settlements, in a limited territory, their gnme has been exterminated ; and where, even though suffering under the stimulus ofhunger, they cannot be moved to labor, save with some few exceptions, for the preservation of file. They must either perish, or beg, or steal. In doing this, tho commission of crime is fre quent—with the whites whom they rob, tltev become cm broiled—they refuse obedience to the authorities they offend, and the ultimate consequence is, (bat, in their refractoriness, they are compelled to undergo, not merely tbe penalties of (he law, but all the exactions of a roused and exasperated people. Their only hope is in removal—this wc know from our own enquiry and from personal observa tion. Where they now exist—if a life such as (heirs, may be called existence—they can scarcely procure sufficient gnme for their mo- ensins (Tulibac.li)—certainly none to dispose ot to travellers—once a fruitful source of pro fit among them. The good mrnuing people, who have striven so industiimisly, and have succeeded so well, in keeping them where, even if lefl to themselves, without let, obstruc tion or interference, they must inevitably per ish, will Imvo a fearful responsibility to an swer.
