MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1823.*
t
Affairs of Europe. —A late arrival at New York
furnishes London papers eight days later than be
fore received. Although no events of great ini-.
portance are announced, an epitome of their
oontenta which we have copied from the New-
York Spectator, will be found of sufficient inter
est to render any apology on account of its length
unnecessary. Affairs in Spain are evidently draw
ing to a crisis, and a few weeks will probably de
cide the great question, in which the right na
tional sovereignty is so deeply involved. Our
hearts are with the Constitutionalists of Spain,
but they seem to be arrayed against the whole
power of continental legitimacy , and all specula
tion on the probable issue of the struggle, we con
sider utterly useless.
Oui attention has been recently called to an
Act of the Legislature of this State, passed at the
last session, providing for the disposition of a cer
tain portion of the School Fund among the seve
ral districts, and for taking a census of the whole
white population between the ages of 8 and 18
years. We believe that this law has as ygt been
entirely overlooked in our own county ; but for
what reason we are unable to say. We are cred
ibly informed,’however, that those whose duty it
is to carry its provisions into execution, have tak
en no measures on the subject, and as we can see
no good reason why this neglect is antlered, we
have subjoined the whole law for the more general
information of the publick. A difference of opin
ion may exist with respect so the policy of the
act, and it tnay not answer the purposes contem
plated by the Legislature; but it is,nevertheless, a
law of the land, and as such should not be suffer
ed to slumber unnoticed in the statute book.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
[English dal{s to the 9th May.]
The Pari* cates are of the sth May, anil the
accounts froin Bayonne of the 29th April. From
these it appear* that the French had entered Sar
agossa on. the 26th April, by consent oi the magis
trates of that place. Burgos was in their posses
sion on the 22d April, and Marshal Oudinot is
stated to have pushed his advanced guard on the
road* of Aranda and Valencia, with the intention
of proceeding to Madrid. The occupation of the
citadel of Jaeu, and a few other places of small
note, by the invading army, are likewise menti Bn
ed in the French papers. The Courier of the sth
May, states, that advices had been received iu
London, of the Duke d’Angouleme having expe
rienced difficulties of a nature which he did not
anticipate, when he ralcnlated on any eaßy march
to Madrid, and which had the effect of inducing
trim to relax in his operations, until he received
re-enforcements from Paris. The nature of these
difficulties is not explained ; but the Courier com
municates, on “ authority,” the fact, that 30,000
additional troops had been ordered to proceed to
the Pyrenees from the northern parts of Franee,
in consequence of the urgent demand of the Duke
d’Angouleme to hasten tbeir march. The unex
pected resistance offered by the strong holds of
JSt. Sebastian, Pampeluna, and Figueras, seem to
throw sdrne light on this requisition for additional
levies. But, we apprehend, there is a stronger
inducement for this, not mentioned in any of the
French papers. The little opposition which the
invaders have met with from any thing like regu
lar armies, since their entrance into Spain, and
the fact, that the road from Burgos to Madrid lies
through mountains, Where the guerillas, and
the main body of this part of the Spanish army,are
known to be stationed, must have created an ap
prehension in the minds of (he French that a snare
had been laid to eutrap them in these fastnesses;
i for how can we reconcile the cordial reception
which the French are said to have met with
from the inhabitants, with the circumstances of
the principal fortresses on the froutier refusing to
surrender, without supposing that some plan of
this nature had been resolved upon by the Cortes?
Rumours had been circulated in London, tending
to encourage a belief that tbe pause of the French
armies had been occasioned by a wish, on (he part
of Louis, to negotiate with Spain for peace, and,
that, with that view, he had recalled his former
Minister, Decazes. These rumours, however,were
evidently of a stock-jobbing nature, and seem to
have died away when the purposes for which their
circulation was intended, bad been effected. We
see no reason now to believe that the French go
vernment will give up its views on Spain until it
is convinced, by the disasters of its armies, of the
impolicy of the measure. It may have made a
wrong calculation as to the amount of the force
necessary for trying the experiment of restoring
arbitrary power in the Peninsula ; but we are sat
isfied the moment has not yet arrived when the
ruling faction, with the entire control of the ener
gies of France in their hands, will be disposed to
forego the advantages they now enjoy, of vigor
ously prosecuting their favourite object.
According to the French papers, the inhabi
tants of Catalonia not only welcomed the inva
ding armies in the most cordial manner, but eve
ry where expressed their hatred of (he Constitu
tional system, and their ardent desire for the res
toration of the ancient regime. Without arms
in their hands, it was good policy to act in this
manner, especially when they were at the mercy
of a fanatical soldiery, and a horde of traitors
who had betrayed their country for the love of
gold. But when we look at the spirited answer
of the Spanish Governour of Figueras to the sum
mons of Marshal Moncey, to surrender the for
tress under his command to the enemy, we are
strongly inclined to suspect that the French them
selves do not helieve one third of what they say
about the attachment of the people to the Bour
bon family. We have at least evidence before
us that when the Spaniards meet the Trench in
the field with arms in their hands, and-under
equal advantages, the latter have nothing to boast
of over the former. We have now before us a*
“ official” account of a brilliant affair between a
division of Spanish cavalry, consisting of 600,
commanded by Col. Bazan, an aid-de-camp ot
Gen. Mina, and an army of Royalists amounting to
3000, who, in endeavouring to cut off the former
met -with a total defeat. Bazan was marching to
the relief of Valencia, when, perceiving that, ow
ing to the great number of the Royalists, there
were no hopes of his advancing or retreating, he.
“formed the resolution of cutting bis w,ay through
the rebel army; when putting himself at the head
of his little band, and giving orders to take no
prisoners but slay all, with the customary viva of
“Long live the Constitution, ’’ rushed in among
the enemy, who, surprised and astonished at the
acts of gallant intrepidity, became paniek ‘truck
and broke into confusion. -To use Col. Bazan’s
own words, he and his men killed until tffey were
literally fatigued, pursuing the enemy nearly to
Murvredro. 600 of the rebels were killed and
left on the field, among them 3 Friars ; 25G made
prisoners, being wounded badly; 1500 stands of
arms, 2 pieces artillery and ammunition taken.
I he gadant Bazan arrived iu Valencia on tfie same
eight of his victory, about li o’clock, where lie
was received in triumph, and toe city bri'.iiuntlv
illuminated.” After as gallant an exploit as this,
we are no way surprised that the Duke d’Angou
leme should feel some hesitation in advancing
farther into the country without a force to resist
similar attacks.
The Bayonne papers inform us, lhat the con
stitutional corps under the Count tbisbal and
Den. ivlorillo, amounting to 40,000 men, were
about to unite, and to offer battle to Marshal Oudi
not, while Bailasteros was to keep in check the
corps of Gen. Molitor. Were we to credit every
thing vte see in the French papers, we would be
compelled to believe that Mnriilo and Bailasteros
were nearly deserted of troops ; and we shall,
likely, be amused with stories ot this nature until
we receive intelligence from another source, of
what is going on in the Peninsula, the little
which now and then transpires, independent u;
the French accounts, inclines us to believe that
the cause of “ legitimacy” is not going on so
prosperously assume would have us to think: and
we are strengthened in this opinion on observing
the anxiety with which the London Courier.states
what it considers a fact, “ that a. Russian ar.my is
undoubtedly assembling in the Du by of War
saw ;” but, continues the editor, “ whether to be
used for the purpose of overawing France m the
absence of her own soldier , or as a body of troops
to join the French in Spain, we cannot ; retend to
say.” From this it might he inferred, at least,
lhat apprehensions were entertained among tbr
crowned heads, of a failure iu their designs against
Spain, or of some reaction in France, should the
government of Louis be left alone in the struggle.
Accounts from Vienna, cf a recent date, ineution
that the communications betwern that Court and
St. Petersburg!! had again been actively resumed ;
and advices from Lausanne repeat that the Aus
trian troops, which were about to evacuate itaiy.
had unexpectedly halted on the frontiers of Lom
bardy. From all this, concludes the Courier,
“we think it requires no extraordinary-sagacity
to presage the coming events.” Or, in other
words, that Russia and Austria, agreeably to the
pledge already gijeti, finding that the overthrow
of liberal principles was an undertaking ot rot
great a magnitude to be accomplished by France,
had determined on bringing into the field their
immense legions. This we foresaw would be the
use. w hen contemplating the -probability of (ue
French armies invading Spaiu ; and when we now
observe the preparation making in England, and
in several northern ports to cover the ocean with
numerous fleets, it may. we think, be presumed
that the flames of war are on Urn eve of spreading
throughout all Europe.
In England some preparations of war are visi
ble. Eleven sail of the line, lour frigates, and
six sloops of war are ordered to be fitted for sea,
and a great demand for sailors. The measures
of government have been approved by parliament
after a debate of three nights.
Summons addressed to the Commander of Fi
gueras by Marsh. I Moncey, April 22 •
The Marshal of France, commanding in chief the
Fourth Corps of the Eastern Pyrenees.
In the name of his Catholic k Majesty Ferdinand
VII. Considering the disposition of the Spanish
people, and the reception with which the troops
under our command are hailed every where on
I their passage ; considering that the first duty
I the first sentiment of the noble arid generous
minds to direct the movements which sprmg from
revolutions, to unite in subn ission to their sove
reigns all misled Spaniards, and thus to spare the
; effusion of precious blood, I invite the Governour
of Figueras to surrender that fortress to the com
bined royal armies of France and Spain. The
act in which the Governour of Figueras will find
all the guaranties which he can desire, is the
subjoined proclamation to the Spaniards by his
Royal Highness the .Duke of Angouleiue. The
Spanish colours will continue to float on tbe ram
, parts of Figueras. The confidence of the Gov
| ernour towards the royal army in this conjunc
ture cannot in the least wound the laws of honour.
I It will be entirely national, and will ensure to
j him the good will and satisfation of his august
I sovereign Ferdinand VII. TheMarshalis author-
1 iaed to give to the Governour the assurance that I
property will be respected, that persons will not
be molested on account of their political opinions,.
und that his excellency, and all those under his
orders, will preserve their honours, their ranks,
(heir emoluments, and prerogatives. Done at
head-quarters, under Figueras, April 22.
MONCEY.
To this summons, the Governour, St. Miguel,
returned the fallowing answer:
“ Senor General; The fortress of St. Fernando
de Figueras, which the nation has entrusted to
my care, and to whose confidence I desire to
make a return becoming a true Spaniard and a
fiee man, shall Dot be surrendered, nor placed in
the hands of the royal armies of France and Spain,
asyv,ur excellency requires in-your letter, deliver
ed by Capt. Laserras, your aid-de-camp; and its
garrison, peuetruted with the same setimeut as
myself, are resolved to bury themselves under its
ruius rather than fail in the observance of their
honour and their oaths. lam seueible to the fact,
and lament the prospect, that precious blood
must flow on both sides; but it is not in my
power to prevent it. With your excellency and
your army alone resides the power to prevent the
calamities which you deplore, by uniting your
selves with a people who so much desire liberty,
instead of unjustly and forcibly imposing chains
upon a nation which enjoys that liberty, and
which neither ueknowedges, nor will ever ac
knowledge the right of any other power to inter
fere iu the political concerns, or receive at for
eign dictation, laws it alone must frame for itself.
“Asl am far from accepting the proposals of
your Excellency, I lay aside, as entirely irrelev
ant, the proclamation which his Royal Highness
the Duke of Angouleme has addressed to the
Spaniards, which can only be good and useful for
perfidious Spaniards, and unnatural children of
their country, hut not to (rue sons of that mother,
whow they do highly value, and for whose pros
perity and happiness they are dispose-! to sacrifice
themselves. This is the only answer 1 have to
return lo your Excellency. Wishing not to fail
in civility, 9 determined to admit the first flag of
your Excellency ; but I must apprise you lhat 1
shall not treat in the same manner the second
which comes with the same mission.
“ The Governour St. MIGULE.”
The Duke of Wellington, in the speech which
lie delivered in the Britsh House of Peers on the
24ili April, relative to the negotiations at Verona,
stated that he had made to the Allied Sovereigns
the strongest representations, founded on his
knowledge of Spain, as to the difficulties and haz
ards of an invasion of her territory. The Duke
was very roughly handled for his part of the Cor
respondence, by some of the Opposition lords.
They contrasted, sarcastically, his diplomatick
with his military talents and exploits.
The Earl of Harrovvby, one ol the Minisrers, in
reference to the observation that the Allies, after
fixing*thir yoke oil Spain, would attempt to de
stroy the liberties of England, repealed the com
mon phrase—“ Let them come and try.” He re
marked, also, that the demands of France upon
Spain were altogether “ intolerable.”—JV’. Gas

On Saturday the 7th of June the house of Hen
ry Putt, Esq. in the village of Edgefield, was
struck by Lightning. The electric fluid divided
and passed down the posts on each side of the
chimney, shivering them and starting the nails of
the weather-boarding. Mrs. T. aud child, sit
ting near the fire-place providentially escaped
uuhuri, although mauy articles were precipitated
by the shock from the mantlepiece to the opposite
side of the room.
During the same thunder storm, one of the
stage Horses on the road about four miles from
tun village, was killed by Lightning.—Front the
driver’s account, it appear* that the electric mat
te: decended about 6yl yards in front of the stage,
within four or five feet o, the earth—and then
approached him in a horizontal direction. Eve
ry horse in the stag* was knocked down, and
were lying on the ground when thp driver came
in hiuisi-lf. Each horse on recovering biKiaeif ex
pressed either his alarm or his thankfulness, by
repeated loud neighing, the horse killed, bore
no external mark of injury, except that his
tongue was of a livid purple, and was probably in
ihe act of inhaling his breath when struck. It is a
fact w-iirty of remark, that a branch of the flash
of lightning struck a tree near the village, at a
distance of four miles from the Stage.

Alarming Accident .'—We learn that during the
last session of Moore county court, while the elec
tion for Sheriff, and other county officers, was
pen ting, the bench being crowded with magis
trates, and the house cranuned full of people—
the presiding magistrate having received all the
ballots, aud being ready to cauvass them, cried
out, w ith a thundering voice, “ are you all
ready?” ut that instant the floor of the Courf-

twelve or fourteen feet,) into a chaotick and af-
Irighted mass of “ animated nature!” An incon

cry was, “ Save himself who can !” The crippled
victims hopped out of Ihe ruins, like “mice out
