LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE
By tho i icket ship United States, Capt. Hold-
ridge, we have received Loudon papers to Au
gust 7th, nod Liverpool to the 8th. both inclusive.
They brine us the gratifying intellig tico of the
CAPTURE OF LISBON.
. tic London Times, in announcing this event,
says,—“The first step, of course, to he taken by
England—that to which the faith nud honor of
Kiug nnd nation ate equally pledged—in the
immtui :’c recognition of the legitimate Queen of
Portugal. She is uim undisputed Sovereign de
facto n dt jure she has a conquering army—the
entire licet—the capital on tlte Tagus, the second
capital on the Donro—the Algarve*, the Alcmte-
jo—in fine, all the keys and nuirnandingposttions
of tlio Kingdom—all that represents or consti
tutes dominion, is actually in the hands of tho
Queen. Then, we ask. can the Kiug of Eng
land's Ministers, on their own principles, delay
one moment to acknowledge her? it they do.
we trust that the people of England will step in
to hasten their tnnly, unsatisfactory aud defect
ive counsels. V Regency, with the Duke of
Palladia at the bead of it, is, during the minor
ity of Donna Maria, the great point to which the
desires of all the real friends of Portugal ought
to turn.”
The Irish Church Temporalities bill had pas
sed both I lousesof Parliament, aud only awaited
the ray»l signature to become a law.
Mr. O'Coiuicl! has given notice of his intention
to set up a new daily morning newspaper.
I: was expected Parliament would he pro
rogued on Saturday the i7tb, or Tuesday the
20:h at tho latest.
Liverpool August 7.—As might have been
anticipated, from what took place during the time
the Irish church temporalities bill was in com
mittee, that measure has passed the House of
Lords, and ouly waits the Royal assent to become
the law of the land. The hill has undoubtedly
tiecii much improved by the committee, but still
many objectionable clauses remain: for instance,
. although the policy ami justice of abolishing the
vestry ccss be on all hands admitted, wc demur
to the equity of the measure which shifts the bur
den from ;he shoulders of tho opulent landhold
ers to place it on thosb of the clergy. It is pro
posed, too, that revenues of two of the Irish bish
oprics should be reduced, aud the principal reason
nssigued for this is, that those revenues are too
great. , . ,
Loxnos, Aug. 6,—The report of tiie whole
heuse ou the resolution for a grant in paytneut of
the arrears of Irish tithes was brought up, when
Mr. Ruthven, who complained of the “culpable
absence" of Irish rr> uihcrs divided the House
upon the question that it be received, which wai
carried by 34 to 15.
London, Aug. G.—The report of the commit
tee of tho whole House on tile resolution for the
conditional grant of JC2O.0U0.0DI) to the West

“River Tagus,, July 25.*’
France.—The statute of Napoleon was to
ho. elevated upon the top of the column, in the
Place Vendome, on the 29th of July. The
statute, which is of brass, represents the hero
or the column, not in his imperial robes, as its
predecessor, pulled down in 1814, but in his
redingale grisc (grey riding-coat) hnd small
plain three-cornered hat—a costume in which
all Frenchmen love to see him represented.
The coiunie on which the statute is to be
placed is the most beautiful in Paris, aud is
constructed of cannon taken by Napoleon in
battle from the enemies of France. It is there
fore a proud trophy for the nation, and the stat
ute of the individual who achieved, very prop
erly surmounts the apex. .
“The three glorious days” are to be celebra
ted this year with much greater brilliancy than
the state of the capital, owing chiefly to the
ravages of the cholera and political excrement, I
would allow last year.
In contemplation ofdisliirbahcson the 14th,
(the anniversary of dtp destruction of the Hos
tile) a great number of the arrests had been
made of the lower class of the inhabitants of Par
is; Others attribute these arrests however to a
plan reported to have been recently formed,
for an attack on the fortifications about being
raised around Paris. Up to 13th no symptoms-
of fermentation had appeared among any class
of people in the capital, indicating the approach
of any popular commotion.
Tlte Ditches do Berri arrived and safely land
ed at Palermo on the fourth of July. This,
perhaps, is to be numbered among tho remark
able occurrences that have happened on that
memorable day. Her reputed husband has
left Paris for London, and it was reported in
Paris, that he had embarked at Liverpool for
the United States, in company with Madame
du Cayla, the lady on whom old Louis XVIII
bestowed some share of celebrity by calling her

CAPTURE OF LISBON.
Intelligence has at length arrived that Villa
Flor. the brave Duke of I’crccira. entered Lisbon
outlie 24th of July, after an action with Telles
Jordao, who had opposed him at the head ofGOOO
men, the whole Miguelite force about nnd to the
southward of Lisbon. The Queen’s commander
had under him no moro than l.fiOO troops of foe
line, with which he had marched from S'. Ubes
on the 22d, and coming up With Jordao, the fol
lowing day. an the left bank of the Tagus, in
stantly attacked him. Tho Miguelites, notwith
standing the disparity of force, were totally rout-
cp, nud n great portion of them driven into the
river. Jordao himself was killed on the quay at
the water side.
The Duke of Cadaral, with Miguel’s garrison,
evacuated Lisbon on the night of the 23d, and
the pressure being thus removed from the inhab
itants, they opened the prison and set free 5,000
captives, confined mostly for political offences.—
They then proclaimed her Majestv Donna Marin,
nud tcok arms nud embodied themselves as a na
tional guard. It is to be observed that hitherto
not a >inglo soldier of Villa Flor’s r.rmy had
crossed from tlte south bank of the Tagus, nor
had one of Napier's ships been sceu within the
bar of Li‘bon.
This declaration in the Queen’s favor, therefore,
was tho act of the people themselves. A com
munication was, however, made by the inhabit
ants to the Duke of Terccira on tho morning of
tho 2-lth. Tho Queen’s flag was hoisted on the
citadel, and afterwards that of England, which
‘was saluted with21 gnus, a salute which was re

ters, (say the despatches) were coming in from
the remnant of the Miguelite force, which was
flying towards the Douro.
The news of these events having reached Op
orto ou thc2Gth, Don Pedro embarked that night
from the Foz on board a steamer for Lisbon,
leaving S.dpanha the supremo command, both
civil and military. Un to the 27th, Marshal
Rourmont had not renewed bis attack on the

THE MARKETS.
Correspondence of the Journal .of Commerce.
Liverpool, Aug. 8. (Thursday.)
Our cotton market towards tho close of last
week receded a little. Some few of the holders
having given way about gd and in somtiinstances
as much as jd chiefly the low and middling
qualities of Americnu cottons. Other kinds,
however, such as Brazil and Surat, kept and ob
tained in some instances at little advance. The
sales of the week amounted to 17,230 dags, of
which 11.350 were American; 1000 American
on specif ation. Import 4136 bales chicly from
the U. States. This w;cck, so far, there lias been
a tolerably . fair extent of business done. The
fcgular trade have befit almost the only purcha
sers, and owing to the absecure of all exc ternent.
such as wo experienced of late, tho market
feels rather dull and heavy. But wo cannot say
that any farther concession in price tas been
submitted to this week in any quarter. On the
contrary wc think there was evinced yesterday
rather more firmness ou all hauds, and as hut ve
ry little.a* now arriving, and the accounts from
.Manchester continue favorable, we may perhaps
ere long recover iu price nil that wc have lost.

ncstic. foreign levy,"—but while the son surg
'd, the thought, if not the words of Macbeth,
•night occur to the grandfather, “we, have scotch
ed the suake, uot killed it.”
The papers give opposite accounts of tho tern
per that the public will express, especially tilt
National Guard, .when reviewed by the King.
Tho opposition prints say that they will cry
“Down with the Ports!”While the ministerial
ones arc as confident thnt the shouts will be Five
te Roi. AH that I can learn on the subject of
the Forts is that tho papers givo contradictory
accounts, both of which cannot be true. How
shall wo come at the truth iu things distant, when
it is hard to find it in things near ? Yerily Truth
is still in the well, and we may walk near and
around her, without discovering her.
The Government has certainly shown some
anxiety as to the temper ef the Parisians. The
king, when applied to for permission to form in
tho garden of the Tuileries, said “certainly; the
National Guards ennnot lie too'near my house;”
nnd this reply has becu industriously spread,
though one paper expresses indignation that auy
such “permission” should have been asked.
The preparations for cerebrating the anniver
sary, also, arc unusually expensive, and express
some solicitude to conciliate the people. But I
do not believe that. there will ho any tumult or
much disapprobation. Every thing is quiet
aud cheerful, and though tlte King is a cold man,
and not capable of raising and sustaining the en
thusiasm of the French, yet there is but a small
party in France opposed to bis government, tuid
tho National Guards in particular, are composed
of men, whose interest is at variance with politi
cal tumults. , .
, Tho official program states,.that 16 dowries of
3000 francs each are to.be given to tho sous and
daughters of the combatants of 1830; “to be
choseu by the Minister of Commerce aud Public
Works,” They are to be married during the
anniversary, so that sotne people will bless the
three days, if others greet them differently
These favorites of Hymen, Fortune, and the
Minister of Commerce, are to hc.iuvited to a Ball
at the Hotel do Ville. Tho King and Iloyal
Family will lie present, and -8 of .the principal
dancers at the opera, (or in French phrase. • the
Royal Academy of Music,) will dance tjnudrilles.
These eight Graces tvero engaged after some
delicate diplomacy by. the i’efect of Sciuc, for
you must know that au opera dancer consumes
as much negotiation as a prince, aud exacts as
much flattery as a princes?. ‘
This first day was principally devoted to ftitier-
al services for the dead. *.
“How had the brave who fell, exult now !”
These services were performed in the Church
es, aud a few shabby monuincuts and scaffolds,
huug in black, were raised in different places.

of tall, gaudy, bright flowers, waving iu thewind.
The aniusetneiits were exceed ugly numerous,
and some were passing strange, 2 here Avert
perhaps thousands of booths for refreshments and
exhibitions, and there was every exhibition that,
ever showman invented, and merry Andrews
without, to cuticn the passengers in. There
were lotteries for confectionary, cakesj glass
ware, &c.; machines for swinging, riding on
wooden horses, turning up aud down In a chair
where the rider preserves his equilibrium, and
his feet are downwards whilo he :s revolving ou
the circumference of a large wheel.- x
Every mountebank of Franco seemed gather
ed into this vast forest, aud the rest of the popu
latiou as spectators. But every thing-was quiet
and orderly. There was lio'bra w hug, by intox
ication. It was so safe! that groups of children
were playing in open spaces among the crowd.
On the quays and near the palace, there was
neither advance nor retreat; aud a man was ob
liged to occupy the place lie stoud, till some gen
eral movement enabled him to change. Ou an
orchestra by the palace, were.500 musicians, and
300 drummers who were any thing hut musi
cians.
On the river was to he a combat between the
ship and several barges. This commenced at a-
bout ten, aud terminated with lockets aud explo-
sions in a style of magnificent profusion. Other
fire works and bursts of Jlamc of every brilliant
color blazed from the bridge, aud some of them
shot Jtigh into the sky like an aurora borealis.—

On the third nhd last day the king laid some
corner stones, mid there were various public
spectacles in the Champs Elvsces.—gymnastic,
military,;-and equestrian. The Theatres were
open to the public, whfcfi seemed to be a ware of
the advantage of going without purchasi ng tick

were open. There was also some contest be

It is .fashionable in Georgia to abuse the

did not rest on the power of the community to
enforce its provisions. Let us see what used to
be the fashion, in those good old times when folks
possessed common senso and political honesty.-—

of which the clauses, most objected to by mod

“While I deprecate the existence of the em
bargo, I trust there exists, and that there will al
ways exist, a disposition to enforce the laws of
the General Government. 1 will be one among
tho first, sir, to resist a contrary doctrine. If the
law$ cannot be enforced, to what purpose are
we a confederated people ? and why have we or

THE THREE DAYS.
, Paius, July 27,. 1833.
It may surprise you to sec a great mont.reh aud
the public authorities, issuing' a program of pub
lic shows aud games, of which tlte Prefect of
the Seine is to distribute the rewards. But let
us uot condemn the French because “they man
age tiieso things differently in France." Vari
ous untions. according to* tho climate and em
ployments, require different food; and according
to their institutions, social aud political, they
* have their own peculiar amusements, auJ reerc-
ations. Wq ourselves have rertainly some that
would surprise a Frenchman. But as nothing
should surprise a philosopher, you will not be

This is the day of the . review, ou which the
newspapers stake their character for divination
but I shall see for myself in half an hour how
the National Guard will receive the King. ;
Fancy vonrselves perched with too upon a wall
of the garden of the Tiiillerics, in the Rue Rivoli,
and look down upon that double line of soldiers,
who reach several miles. That young man who
has just, rode along, followed by oue servant, is
the Duke of Orleans, coluuel of the 1st regiment
of Guards ; and here conies, far' behind, little
Nemours, dressed nlso.nsa colonel. ; lie had bet
ter bo at his Ctcsar and Quintus Cnrtious,' Ex-
cuse ,me,.hdf I am' an old pedagogue. ; i •
Now comes from’ the portal of the Palace a
regiment of Guards regular professional man-
slayers, aud after them the King anil his staff ; a
body of meu blushing with crimson and glittering
with gold. Where l.am placed 1 hear no gener
al shout along tlte line, but ever in tho part op
posite the King there is a Five le Roi. He r is' a
good figure, ou a fine horse, and rides near to rite
line, taking off his hat every instant, bowing
to his charger’s neck, and I think aildres
sing some words as he passes. Ho wears a it
triform of the National Guards. Among the stall
are Scbastiani, and the Duke ofl’reviso, aud
others heller known to fame than to me.
After this respectable body had passed, I asked
permission of a fat colonel to cross his lines, and
went to tho Boulevards, where 1 arrived in time
to see tho Kiug again. Here, and all the rest of
the way, the cheers were decided and hearty.
The eveuing papers say there were a few shouts
of “Down with the forts;” but I heard none.
When tho King returned from tho extreme tie-
df the lines to the Place Vendome, the mass was
so dense that there was nb room for one person
more. Aftor trying in vain to get a leg into tiie
crowd, I drew back into a restaurant at the cor
ner, and sustained my cuthusiasm on a broiled
mackerel, a fish which lean recommend for this
purpose. Iu an hour there was a utible burst of
cheering, aud I knew that the rover had been
drawn from tho statue of Napoleon.
I could ree the crowd, though not the statue,
hut every eye was upon it, and every face ex
pressed strong emotion. The shoots were \ 7 ive
L’Empereur, aud Vivo le Roi. Jt was some
what theatrical, but it was therefore well adapted
to the French, and it was a scene I should bo
sorry to have missed. Many of the old Guards
Avere there, aud some of them wept.
In the afternoon I went into the Champs Ely-
secs, which afforded a spectacle that you will
see only in Paris. In fact, iu all celebrations
here, however splendid, it in the people who are
the most attractive show. We can describe only
Ivy comparison, ami therefore I cannot describe it
for thorp is nothing in : America to compare it
with. But for miles in the gardens and oil the
quays, there was one dense mass of people, aud
halt at least? were females, in various brilliaur J
of the democratic fathers of the Republic; but
that on the enumeration of negro'es was a matter
of compromise itt forming the Federal Constitu
tion; tho Northern-^States capitulating to the
Southern. In his letter which I hope you havo
kept in your memories.'he expressly declares thnt
ought not to he counted, as a basis of representa
tion : bis opinion deserves profound respect by
the democratic part of our State, because be al
ways advocated the cause of the people against
the aristocracy. Our next inquiry then is,
why there is so much said on this particular sub-
ject and such efforts made to alarm the fears of
the country. To find out 'men’s motives, you
must inquire into what is their interest; by this
rule let us set abotit finding out what are -the in
tercsts ofthnso who are so noisy and oppose rat
ification of tho amendments. Wo may class them
under two heads—1st What is their private inter
est ? 2d AA’hat is their political party interest ?
As to the first, it is and ever has been the private
interest of the rieli to keep down, if not oppress,
the poor. The rich man lolling in his carriage
passes his poor neighbor in his carl without no
ticing him: Unless it is just before an election,
and then all-at once he is mighty friendly; about
this particular time he will condescend to shake
him by the hand : but after the election is over,
does not know him until about die same time
next year. I make a direct appeal, if I do not
now tell you the truth. 2d. Political power is
seldom given up voluntarily ; if negroes or other
property, is represented, those interested will hold
fast to the last; hence, this hue and cry of great
negro holders and party politicians; that the
Federal basis is sacrificed and white population
put in its stead. But wo the poor men have
tro negroes or hut few, it is therefore surely our
interest to support from the seaboard to the
mouutaius, the tvhite basis, the majority through
out the country are not only ivhite, hut poor; n-
gain, wliv should we make this a party ques
tion 1 -Arc the rights of the poor man taken away
by this amendment ? certainly not, but thoy are
increased. Does it then, brethren, become us to
enlist in -this party strife of tlte aristocracy or
rather whilo others are seeking their individual
aggrandizement, ought tve not to unite as a band
of brothers, in one common interest and give our
notes to sustain .the white basis, beenuso by so
doing we strengthen the hauds of the poor ngaiust
the aristocracy.- Money you know is pow
tito rich unite-with the rich, in all countries as
well as in our-own State, to grasp all power and
office. . t ask yon • to show one real poor man
of our class who holds any. officcl of great profit
iu the State, or do thoy-let such go to Congress
Will then- any of our working class, who.by tlte
sweat of our brow earn the bjead of themselves
and families, sufl’er themselves to - he-made the
tools of by artful, false politicians, to vote against
their own interest ? -I hopeaiot;-! am no party
man. only so far as to sustain those who support
the rights of the poor, and this course I havU and
shall always pursue as long as I live.—I will
before I close submit a few {acts to your consid
eration.—It is made an objection to tho amend
ment oftho Legislature is not sufficiently reduced,
let us inquire about this. The senate is brought
'own from 90 members to 45, is this not stifli-
cient ? and to do this, two counties are to con
stitute a senatorial district: according to the plan
of the rich men anil nullifying party, they wanted
the federal basis, to put 5, 6, aud 7 counties
itber, who were only to have one senator in,
that case let me ask you, what chance a poor
man would ever have to get a scat in that Branch ?
•So if wo arc poor, is that a reason for excluding
us from it ? how could a poor man spare cither
inonoy, ortirne to he kuown in 5 or 7 comities;
in this respect wealth would decidedly have .the
advantage.-—Again, in the llouso of representa
tives, there has been a reduction, of 32 members,
aud in both branches the amount is 77 members,
besides according to the proposed amendment,
neither branch can bn increased in number, even
tlio’ new counties should be made. I tell you
It is
not, therefore, at tho foreign hostility with which
we are thleateued, that I fee! the least uneasi
ness. I am only seriously concerned for fear
that this yielding, this concession (if it be only
conjectured to he a concession) to a domestic fic
tion of any description, will end in the destruction
of your Constitution aud the ruin of your Govern
ment. It will be evident find iucOntcstible—and
it must grieve every man to think of it, who val
ues the liberties of his country—that your Con
stitution is not strong enough to stand the mile
shock of faction. Gentlemen w ill not give them
selves time to think seriously.” ‘If you are
threatened with war at home and abroad, the
best mode of avoiding both is a vigorous repres
siou of opposition at home, and a direct rcsis
tance of hostility from abroad. If gentlemen
consider this government in the nature of it to be
a weak government, they are mistaken. It is
the strongest government oil earth, both for peace
or lor war. The great fundamental principle,
on which all political, institutions are built is that
of ohedirjice to the taw. Itisafuudamental.princi
ple of your government, that the will of the ma
jority shall govern; and, that this will, when ex
pressed, shall he executed, even at the expense
of all the minority who stand up in opposition to
the law, is as fundamental a principle as any.—
Aud if the Executive, fail in the execution of the
law, He fails in his duty to his:country. He nev
er will fail, 1 am Sure; and the execution of the
law, I will leave to him,; If lie wants the ways
and means, give it to him: hut be it yeur prov
ince) to make the law, and his to execute it—Aud
if rebelhou actually existed, it would not be for
you to looji to it-. It-ought, to have no effect
on your deliberal ions any further than you are
concerned in grantiug ways and titeaus for tthe
energetic execution of the laws. I speak with
deference on this subject. Sir, when l recommend
auy specific course to be adopted in preference to
any other, bur it appears to trie better to adhere
to the course heretpfore marked out. by yourselves
—to go on in tiie course of right and justice and
policy, without turning to right or left, to iuquirc
who approves or disapproves, ’ll is upt possible
th# you can consent to change yottr course for
the purpose of avoiding the clamor of a party,—
It would be tlte height of extravagance and folly
in us i<f proceed in .such a manner as to forfeit the
esteem of a large portion of the people to oblige a
ruiuority. If niuo tenths of the people are ready
to enforce a measure, you will not abandon it
becauso one tenth threatened to rebel against it.”
—Augusta Courier.
Mr.M’Dufiie’s Speech attlie Athens Celebra
tion has been published in the Augusta Chron
icle, and copied into the Charleston Mercury.
We really cannot perceive in it those qualities
of oratory' that usually characterize tho vehe
ment efforts of this gentleman. The- leadin''
topic ofhis speech could have presented no
room for novelty of view. It is one of thread
bare metaphysics. But M’Dufiie professes to
furnish som- practical illustrations of those ab
stract doctrines he entertains on the subject of
State Sovereignty. He .supposes the case of
certain Federal oflicers havingentbred the State
of Georgia to enforce the views which Mr.
Adams entertained oftho Indian controversy,
by force of arms, and that a number of tho cit
izens of Georgia had been killed in a military
encounter between the Federal and State au
thorities.. He then triumphantly asks whether
this would not have been murder, subjecting
the' federal authorities to he lntng, aud “ex
hibiting the singular spectacle ofan overwhelm
ing and omnipotent sovereignty lawfully anni
hilated by one of its subject provinces.”.
• T-ltis case was cunningly put, to cliinic. in
with the feelings of the Georgians, on this del
icate subject; but Mr. M’Dufiie itiiagines an
extreme case, (and one which can rarely occur)
in which there may be iiJVolved a doubtful ex
ercise" of power. But tiie answer to this ques
tion is, that if the Authorities of Georgia or
dered out the Militia of that State to resist the
execution of art Act of Congress, or a Treaty
of the United States, and death to any portion
of the Georgia Militia were to follow, it would
not be murder, in the Federal authorities, - hut
treason in tlio State authorities, or those found
in arms against the United States under their
direction. This would he clearly a case of mil
itary’ resistance, and attended by the penalties
usual in such cases.
But how does this illustrate tlte right of Nul
lification? How could this he classed as anion
the instances proving the peaceful, nature of
that remedy? Georgia would have resisted by
force of arms, and not by,,replevin .laws and
their clumsyr deceptive machinery Mr. M’-
Duffie’s analogy entirely fails, therefore, if lie
wisltes to elucidate the right of Nullification’
by a case of open military resistance. When
