with copious extracts from the l.iiest Kuiopeari in etli-

pacific nature, which also will be found in our column-,
ft is n w saiii that there will be no war in Eurojie. That
ih** immense preparations spoken of, are merely precau
tion iry, and without any design to assail France. This
may be true—hot it is certain that the French Govern
ment is m king preparations C' nimensuratc to any contin
gency. Although her nunriti rs confidently assert in their
official capacities, that they receive' nssurunees ol amity
from the great powers, yet with a prudent regard for tin
futm •, they also dec! -re that France negotiates in the front
of bO >,000 ri g ilar Troops, and two millions of National
ti iaids. This imposing ailay of Physical force, it is
sveli known to the legitimates of Europe, con* s s cf the
finest material that ever composed the reliance of a nation
in tier time of need. France, enthusiastic, magnanimous
Ftsnee, has arisen in her strength and majesty, udcI great
mast be the power that expects to prevail in battle against
her. In addition to t!i■ - vastphy sic 11 strength now wield
ed b; the people of France, she. is also .sustained by a mo
ral power, that will prove neariy as effetive as the lorm
er.—In Europe the growth of intellect has kept pace with
<fce progress of civilization. The civil rights oi the sub
ject are b< Uer understood—the evils of tyranny are mine
rasi y discerned, and form more immediately a subject fix
public ex imiiiation, now, than formerly. The ‘divine
fifch- of Kings,” so long Use terror of the weak, and Hie

away before a more rational construction of the cud for
which government is establish! d. It is now uoilerrioot

T11i a species of “divine rigid” belongs alike to every form
of government, nnd is founded upon the obvious rule, that
vvintev r beri promotes human happiness, receives thr-
sanction of the divine will. The people of Europe hav-
■dhc ivered that forms of government better adapted to
this end, c n readily be substituted fur those uiufor whieb
they now live. Although these sentiments have b< en
prevented from producing the changes to which they tend,
by thegre.it military establishments kept in p «v for Min

Their fate, it is difficult tocinjrcture. The pop-dar voic

the cool, calculating, and reflecting part of tiw i-atioo,

drsposed to be less rigorous in dt.-p--nsing retributive jus

Russia, Austrn, and Prussia, by the changes in the Brit

importance has hem attached to this circumstance. The
acknowledgment of Louis Phillip’- government hy the
JJ.ike of Wellington plainly intricate;* the. part England
would take in tit- iff i/rs of tlx* continent. This was kno« n
to the continental pouers before Miev assumed the nttitudc
of hostility imputed to them. How then is it to be sup

of our comaumtnihr has long been aroused to ibis impor
tant subject; Gambling is under the ban of public opin
ion; and a solemn act of our Legislature threatens the in
fliction of severe penalties upon all who contribute to
curse society with the continuance of so great an evil. It
is not our wish to repeat the many arguments that have
been adduced to restrain tbe unwary from falling victims
to a vice so ruinous»ond so odious. The infatuation that
urges men to “try their luck,” as it is called, seems to be
anomalous in its character. There arc few so hardy as
todmv the general proposition that gambling is a danger
ous and desperate act; thatin its particular consequence,
it usually produces much ipdividuul and domestic mise
ry—I hat its general consequences are injurious to society;
— and yet there are many v- ho thus reason, that lend the
encouragement of their example to this pernicious cus
tom.
We bate been politely favored by a friend with the fo!
lowing copy of a confession written upon the back of a
one dollar bill of the Bank of Darien. It utters a more
keen rebuke (ban could be expressed in a volume, to those
who sanction by their example, a practice so iniquitous—
more especially should it smite the conscience of the indi
vidual, whoever he may be—fur we know neither the wri
ter or his de-pajler—that has been instrumental in earning
this wretchedness and ruin. Let young men, yea and old
men, follow the ifovice he gives, and lake timely warning
from the f ite of this “ruined young man!!” The original,
we arc informed, is in the possession of Mr. W. Cren
shaw of this town.

North Caroli-ia.—The Legislature of this Slate, previ

trine of nullification. The debates on the resolutions
are represented to h ive been extremely animated, espe
cially oil ;he part ofthose who advocated tbe continuance
ofour happy Union. One of these gentlemen as«ert> d
that nullification was disunion—that whoever sought the
dissolution, of the Union was a traitor to the true interests
of nis country, and deceived to expiate his crime upon
the gallows—to
“Go down to the vile dust from which he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, but not unhung ”
lie asserted this “in his place.” and was ready to
.meet any consequences to bim-eif, personally, that might
grow out of its expression. The resolutions passed the
“House of Cum nous” by a majority office to one—want
of time prevented their bring taken np in the Senate.—
The celebrated and patriotic remark, that “as North
Carolina was the last State to come into the Union, so
she would be tbe last to go out <>f it,” was reiterated, ant!
as the result shuws, practicolly illustrated. The mem
bers of the North Carolina Legislature deserve well of
tbeir constituents, and their country at large. We think
these “signs of the times” aug ir very unfavorably to the
hopes of 'he South Carolina and Georgia Null.fu rs; and
we doubt not that many who have beeu led to adopt these
absurd opinions by the force of example, will be induced
seriously to examine, and finally to reject them, >:« tend
ing to tne certiiri destruction of domestic and public hap
piness. \\ ith one act of the North Carolina Smote, we
profess not to be so well pleased. Certain resolutions
Jiad been sent from the House of Commons for the Sen
ate’s concurrence, one of which recommended ihe re-elec
tion of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency after the ex
piration of his present term; this clause was stricken out
iiy that body, and returned to the House, where it "as im
mediately reinstated. tic regret this apparent diversity
of opinion upon what wc deem an important subject.- It
will afford to the opposition some ground fo hop- that the
State has become disaffected to our venerable President.
The present crisis demands unanimity among his supper
! ers und we hav.- always believed North Carolina among
the most decided of them. VVchope she will so remain.

ed alike upon his fnults, his misfortunes, and his glory.
He has been one of the most idolized, and traduced, of
men. It requires the pen of some future historian faith
fully to record tbe acts of bis eventful life, that the veil of
misrepresentation which obscures them may be removed,
to enable impartial posterity to decide upon tbeir true
character—whether he is to be ranked with the Brutuses
or Cat:.lines of history—whether he be entitled to frater
nize with the beatified spirit of Washington in the. Ely
siari Fields, or associate with that of Arnold in less favor
ed regions.
Another Warning.—Notwithstanding the awful exam
ples constantly furnished of the destructive consequences
to property, to reputation, to health, and to life, inevitable
attending a resort to the Gambling Table, yet we fin

tdjoiiined until 1*2 o’clock to day. After the considera-

After name private bills had oeen acted upon, the House
resumed the A:citsideratic n of the resoiuriuu submitted by
Mr. lluijiits. on the preceding div, railing on the co a-

of the Cherokee Chiefs, or Head Men, have gone to the
Cit y ol Washington to confer with the Government on the

to effect a more, desirable arrangement, we understand,
'.hat they are authorized to say to tbe Government,that th#
Clierokscs are ready to enter into a treaty huving for its
object, their removal beyond the Mississippi. VVhat a
morlifving circumstance to the Coalition would ba the

relied to inflict a biow on the pres' nt Administration to

many of * hose now au in behalf of the Indians,
ind so loud in their denunciations of the course pursrieu
by the General Government, would hail w ith joy the first
symptom of strife between the citizens of Georgia and
their Indian neighbors, and smile with satisfaction at any
scene of desolation and bloodshed which such a contest
might bring upon the latter. Their sole object is the
overthrow of the Administration, and they would willing

ONE DAY LATER FROM ENGLAND.
Since our last we have received a regular file of Near-
York papers up to Saturday inclusive, brought by the Ship

papers up to the evening of tbe 7lh Dec. received at Hal
ifax.—The following is among the extracts:—
In England the disturbances continue. In Longbo-
rough the ladies agreed to give tbe advanced price to the
frame work knitters. Fires have taken place in the
neighborhood of Bristol, a place hitherto peaceable.——
On the evening of the 7th December, as the Duke of
Wellington was leaving the House of Lords in company
with the Marqus of Salisbury, an attempt was made to
insult him by the rabble, but which was iiun>t<litU< ly pre
vented by sonie policemen who were at hand. A great
sensation was caused io the House of Lords on the 8th
by tbe arrest of a person who had acted suspiciously, and
who, on bring arrested, snapped a pistol at the head ol
tbecaicer.
A conference of the ambassadors of tbe great powers

France, Austria, Russia, the Netherlands, Prussia and
England were represented.

as in the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who almost assures
the French nation that no war will lute phice op the con

Belgium.—Antwerp, Dec. 4.—The Breda Courant
says the following are ihe principal articles of the conven
tion concluded at London.
1st. . That the citadel of Antwerp should remain in our
possessidn, and shall be occupied by our troops. It is add
ed that a corps of British troops wjil come to occupy the
city cf Antwerp.
2d. That Martrichl shall remain to us, and that Yen-

fix his head quarters there.
3d. Tlialthe fortresses of B lgium on tbe N rtb and
East frontiers shall be occupied by tlie troops of the Allied
powers.
The Captain commanding the naval forces at Antwerp,
hat,given official notice that merchantmen will be suffered
o put to sea during the armistice thus provisionally re-es
tablishing the navigation.
The garrison in the citadel of Afitwerp is only 1,500
men—French troop's are daily arriving onlhe frontiers.
Brunswick—Duke William carries on tbe government
in his own name, in which the Courts of London, Berlin
an l Vienna acquiesce.
Pans. Dec. 6.—Chamber of Deputies. On the levy
ofSO.OOOmen, M. Mardicr de Monlijou said that he
opposed 80,000 men, because he wanted 120,000. The
only reproach he had against the ministry is not to have
called for more money anti men.
Marshal Soull said 120,000 were not wanted. That
the Government had every means to put the army hi a
respectable and formidable state, and that it was persua
ded Ho war would take place, Nevertheless we are pre
pared, and taking evr.rv measure to ensure sucres, should
war break out. But. I repeat, we do not require any
augmentation. The enthusiasm in the Departments is
such that the number will be exceeded by the voluntary
enlistments. And there is hardly a Conscript that has

Mr. Audry dc Fuiravcau was in favor of strengthening
the National Guards VVe cannot rely ou the promises
of foreign powers.- England is interested in the war.

You cannot with for war, and in order to preserve peace
you are ready to make every sacrifice.

highly in the assurance of Englaud Remember, saiu
he, her conduct toward Denmark. 'England is always
guided by private interests. Let us not be deceived by
the sympathy shown for our revolution l>y the F.ngiish

The Nation applauded the revolution of 1787, but Eng

Texas—It is stated in the Arkansas Gazitte, that
Mr. Butl-r, tbe American Charge at Mexico, has been
able to make no progress in a ucg -tiatii n for the pur

The Discovery Ships.—It seems tu he supposed that
these vessels have explored sufficiently between 57 arid
59 degrees of South Latitude, and 88 and 101 degrees
VV. Longitude, to ascertain t hat there is no land or dan
ger there; and that vessels going round Cape Horn, will
have no occasion hereafter to lie by during the night.
The ships were on the coast of Chili in August last, and
Messrs. Reynolds and Watson had gone into the interior,
of the ri*er Aranca, to examine lb# Arancanion country,
and become acquainted, if possibh , with the Cazique of
by a powerful nation, of whom we have but little knowl
edge. The nation is said to be noble, generous, and war
like, and to possess the richest fur country on the globe.

In iVlari tn, on lb»- 14‘b instant, by Janies Solomon,
Esq. A. D. Davis, to Miss Elizabeth Leonard.
Young Cupid with his burnished dart,
And silvery bow so bright,
Is archly smiting, that some heart.
Will ftei itsuarb tonight.
Away on wings of beamy gold,
He cieaves the ether sky,
And now at A. D’s heart, icy cold
He shoots from Betsey’s e^c.
Tlie nim is true the pang is felt,
By all love’s true alarms,
And proud A. D. kncrl’sthat ne’er had knelt,
To B. t-e ’- p.ierless charms.
Shipwreck with less of lives.—The New-Orleans Adver

Madison ville, snd cargo with all onboard but two men
were lost. There were besides Capt. Kennedy and the
two seamen, five passengers, whose names are not known,
but whom it is presumed were inhabitants from the interi
or. The passengers were the first to suffer, who not be
ing prepared for the sudden disaster, were instantly wash-
ed'overboard; the Captain clung to the masts until stiffen
ed by cold, he fell off and was lost The two seamen,
who were lashed to the mast, were picked up by the sehr.
Fame and carried to Bonfouca. Tbe vessel was owned
by Capt. Kennedy, and was laden with bricks, and cattle.
Display of Technicals.—A Doctor, on going into his
boarding house and oot finding dinner ready, observ
ed “what, are there no symptoms of dinner yet?” “No
appearance." replied a hwyer. “There’s a sample of it,”
said a merchant, as a servant appeared with i turkey.—
“Faith, and » One token it is,” roomed a printer.-
