MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, JULY 21, 1823.
The mails of the past week furnish very little
news of interest, either foreign or doraestick.—
The latest accounts from England neither con
firm nor disprove the reported victory of Mina
over the corps of Marshal Moncey : it is probable,
however, that no action of so decisive a charac
ter as was represented, took place. The caution
evinced by the invading forces in their advance
upon Madrid affords a pretty convincing proof,
that the Constitutional cause is not so hopeless as
the French bulletins represent. Indeed, there is
e< ety reason to believe, that it is the policy of
the Spanish Generals to prolong the contes. by
alpiding genera] actions where they have nfft the
PBOfi decided advantages, and to harms* and
worry the invader* by a partisan mode of war
fare. It was expected that the French array
would finally enter the Spanish capital on the
24th May.
The claim setup by Russia relative to the N.
W. Coast of America has been made a subject of
inquiry in Parliament. The British government
refuses to submit to the claim, and to the princi
ple of maritime law by which it is attempted to
be established. Negotiations on this subject are
pending at St. Petersburgh between the Amer
ican, British and Russian governments.
“THE PROSPECTS BEFORE US.”
Think not from our motto, gentle reader, that
We shall bring you upon the political turf. As it
occupied by the presidential coursers, we have
only to say, let them run. The winder will prove
that he possesses the greatest speed. We have
prospects of another character to present before
yon, yet not so remote as to require the assis
tance of the Telescope. They are rather literary
than political; and are intimately connected with
the future prosperity of the College over which
Dr. Cooper has the honour to preside. “It might
be well,” says Dr. C. (in the statement subjoin
ed to the Report of the Committee of which the
Hon. J. Hamilton, sen. was Chairman) “ It might
be well to give the President the power of com
mitting any student, who, being ordered to leave
the College, shall obstinately aud contumaciously
remain there.” Yes, and he should have added,
in the felon side of the prison, too.* The Presi
dent surely should be vested with this power ;
and the wisdom of South Carolina in General As
sembly met, will doubtless grant it. Do anj
question it ? All Europe know*, and the whole
World should know through Dr. C. that the execu
tive even of a College, must be absolute. It is
a false notion wfiich some have affected to main
tain, that such power can be abused. In the
extreme it will prove a salutary discipline. It
will,
Ist. Prevent them from keeping bad hours.
2d. It will restrain their rambling disposition.
3d. It will be the means of saving their pocket
money.
4th. It will give theirnames to the publick with
the captiou, “Brought to Jatl.”
* It is said that Dr. C, once had that honour.
sth. It will afford their parents or guardians an
opportunity of knowing whereto find them.
6th. It will familiarize them to hard fare, and of
course make them better soldiers.
<• 7th. It will enable them to contract the most
friendly acquaintance with those lovely charac
ters who are the inmates of a prison. And
Bth. It will teach them ever after to associate
a College with a Jail.
If it were a contested point, we should not stop
at this simple enumeration of the advantages
which will result from granting this incarcerating
power to the President. But it is unnecessary to
exhaust a subject on which there can be, in this
land of liberty, but one opinion.
The prospects before you, Foung Gentlemen
of Carolina, are therefore obvious, provided you
should be so fortunate as to gain the displeasure
of your President, or stay a moment beyond the
time prescribed for your departure. You will then
have the supteme pleasure of peeping through the
grates of a prison at the passers by, and they in
turn will admire the snugness with which you are
cooped up with rqnaway negroes and thieves.
And with what rapture will your gray-headed sires
exult when they shall discover amidst this motley
group their darling sons.
We will only add by way of amendment that
in this case, the false constitutional right called
Habeas Corpus , shall be suspended.
Respectfully submitted.

ROBERY OF TIIE EASTERN MAIL.
The following Letter to the Postmaster Gener
al reached this city by express at 5 o’clock last
evening •
Baltimore Post-Office, )
9 o'clock. -3. M. Bth July , 1823. )
Dear Sir: I regret to have again to announce
the robbery, by force of arms, of the Eastern Mail,
coming to this city from Philadelphia. It hap
pened between one and two o’clock this morning,
about two miles beyond the Gunpowder Fall?,
aud was perpetrated by at least four armed ruffi
ans. The Guard of the mail, who was well arm
ed, appears to have defended it bravely, and, ac
cording to his, the only account I have yet receiv
ed, it was not surrendered until he had discharg
ed his blunderbuss and pistols, and was overcome
by superiour numbers, and great violence to his
person. The Driver, in the confusion, escaped
unhurt; and the mail for this city, and for distri
bution here, was not touched.
The bag containing the mail for Washington,
and all South of this, was cut open; but Ido not
delay it to ascertain the extent of depredations
upon it, as the stage is ready to take it op. The
■eighbouring country is alarmed, and scouring
he vicinity in pnisuit of the robbers. Mr. Stok.es
1< ft here as soon as there was reason to appre
hend that the mail had been attacked ; and, from
him we shall soon hear further particulars. In
the mean time you may feel assured, that every
thing that can, will be done, to arrest these des
perate villiaps. Traces of much blood on tin
ground, indicate that some of the party were
deeply, if not mentally wounded. Respectfully
your obedient servant.
J. S. SKINNER.
Second Express.
An hour after receiving the foregoing intelli
gence. the following letter was received, which
affords the information, anticipated above, that
the robbers are detected and apprehended:
Baltimore, July 8. 1823—3 1-2 o'clock.
To the Postmaster General, Washington City.
Dear Sir: We are happy to inform you, that
three of the mail Robbers have been apprehend
ed by Mr. Stokes and hi? party', a few miles from
the spot of the robbery. Two of iheiu are se
verely womided ; the fourth, (if a fourth,) has
not beeu heard of. The Guard has defended
the Mail bravely. Very respectfully, See.

New Yobk, July 7.
By the arrival yesterday morning m Philadel
phia, • >!’ the line ship Dido, Captain Bliss, in 38
days from Liverpool, papers have been received in
that city from London f the 22d May, and Liv
erpool of the 24tii. The London dates are the
same as those rtceived here on Friday by the
London Packet. From the slips sent us by the
editor? of the Aurora, wt make the following ex
tra; ts. The letter from Bayonne is two days la
ter than that from which we quoted on Saturday
It gives us no light whatever, as to the real situa
tion of Mina; but it exhibits no favourable pic
ture of the success of the invading army, aud also
shows, that preparat.ons are making for a por
tracted war. The Bayonne news from Catalonia,
cannot be so late by several days, as that publish
ed by us on Saturday, direct from the head quar
ters of Marshal Moncey . Indeed the letter from
Gerona was dated one day later than that from
Bayotme.
The statement from St, Petersburgh, corres
ponds with some late suggestions that we have
seen, and is of importance if it be authenlick,
viz: of the warlike projects of, Russia being sud
denly checked by the declaration of Sir C. Bagot,
that the neutrality of England, in the present
contest between France and Spain, depended en
tirely upon the circumstances of the other pow
ers of Europe not taking any part in the war.
Austria, it is added, had made a similar communi
cation to his Imperial Majesty. We place (says
a London paper.) but little credit in these state
ments, and particularly the latter, for it i- not
very likely that Austria would make such an un
gracious return for the countenance and aid she
received from Russia in her Neapolitan business.
1 Besides, there is turkey—a country whose pres
ent condition seems last hastening to a close ; and
whenever that moment conies, Austria will have a
boon to beg of the Autocrat, of far more “conse
quence to her (ban, whether France i, or is not,
to be supported in her present undertaking, should
she need support. With respect to the neutrality
of England, and the basis upon which it must con
tinue, those are points sufficiently established by
the declaration o! Ministers in Parliament though
they have not gone the length lf defining the ex
act boundaries within which they intend to con
fine the.r neutral policy.

INDIAN JUSTICE. j
Arkansas, April 29.—The following facts in I
relation to the murder of an Indian, and the sub-1
sequent execution of the murderer, which took |
place in Miller County, some time last month,were !
related to us by several respectable gentlemen
who have recently returned from that county.
A Choctaw Indian, calling himself l)r. Sibley,
and belonging to a wandering tribe of that nation, |
who has resided in the neighbourhood of Red Riv
er for some years past, while in a state of intoxi- j
cation, stabbed another Indian to the heart, who!
immediately expired. After the murder, a bro-j
ther of the dece ite d Indian came to Sibley, and i
told him be must have revenge for the death o!!
his brother, by taking his (Sibley’s) life. To this j
proposal Sibley readily assented, and proposed
that his execution should take place on the fol
lowing morning, which was also assented to by
the other party. In the mean time Sibley was
kept under no restraint whatever, but was per
mitted his freedom as usual, withAt showing any
disposition to make his escape. When the morn
ing arrived on which he was to suffer death, Sib
ley went out with the rest of the party, and aided
in digging a grave for the deceased Indian. After
it was finished, be observed to the party, that he
thought it large enough for both of them to lie in,
and signified a wish to be buried in the same
grave. This not being objected to, he placed
himself in a standing positiou over the grave, with
bis arms stretched out,and gave the signal to fire,
when the brother of the deceased Indian placed
a rifle at his breast, and discharged its contents
through his heart. He dropped into the grave,
and instantly expired. .
Coincidence. —The schooner President sailed a
few days since from Marblehead fur Charleston.
It is remarked as a singular coincidence, that the
names of two of her crew are Jejferson and .Madi
son, both towns-born children, and the name of
the cook is Tompkins.
At a late meeting of the Boeton Bar, one of its
members was expelled for dishonourable conduct
to his client.
Hillsboro’ N. C. July 2.
An atrocious outrage was committed in the
lower part of this county, on Friday night last.
W'estley Rhodes, who for some time past has in
dulged himself in habits of intemperance and
abuse to his wife, on that evening gave loose to
his passions, and beat her in a most cruel manner.
She escaped from him and fled to her father’s
house, which was but a short distance from her
own. Her mother, irritated by the abuse her
daughter had received, immediately went to
lihodes’ tesidence, and reprimanded him for
bis conduct, and peruaps struck him with
a tobacco stick which she had picked up on the
road. At this time Mr. Thomas Christian, his
father in-law, a very worthy and peaceable old
man, came in ; when Rhodes, who until now had
kept his hand concealed under his coat, drew
forth a knife and stabbed him in the side. Rhodes
immediately fled, and has not yet been taken ;
he wa9 seen the next morning with a bundle of
‘clothing, and said he intended going to Alabama.
Vlr Christian’s wound is considered dangerous.
Virginia Crops. —The Petersburg Papers of the
27th ull. state, that the wheat harvest, contrary
•o expectation, had turned out generally produc
tive in that neighbourhood, notwithstanding the
murmurs against the Fly and Chinch Bug. The
corn crop, also, was very promising. We have
similar accounts from Richmond, where the crops
were expected to tarn out equal at least to an
average one ; the grain was larger in quantity and
finer in quality than it had beeu for several years,
in Amelia, whence, the clamour of the chinch bug
was first hea'd, the cr p was considerably more
abundant thuu was expected. ODe farmei who
seeded one fourth less than the usual quantity,
calculated dn reaping more grain than he had
done on the two preceding harvests put together.
The crops in Louisa and Gouchland, were said to
be generally fine—the same on the upper parts of
the river where the land was good. A wet spell
of weather seemed however to have set in, which
may do more or less damage to the harvest.
There was already newjlour In the market, and
the gram was said to grind well.

A paragraph is circulating in most of the news
papers throughout the Union, purporting to be
an extract of a letter from Washington, and im
porting that the Russian Imperial Ukase of 16
of September, 1821, nad been revoked. This
statement is not correct. We understand that,
at the proposal of his Imperial Majesty’s govern
ment, recently made, the Minister of the United
States at St. Vetersbtirgh will be furnished with
powers and instructions to confer with the Russian
Cabinet for the adjustment, to the satisfaction of
all parties, of their conflicting claims in relation
to the Northwest coast of America : and from the
well known moderation and regard to justice of
the Emperour Alexander, no less than from the
friendly dispositions toward the United States, so
long and so constantly manifested by him, thee
is reason to expect that this adjustment will be
accomplished in a manner satisfactory to him,
and, at the same time, consistent with all the
rights of this nation. In the mean time, it is be
lieved that the commanders of the Russian armed
vessels upon that coast have received orders,
which will obviate any further immediate collision
with the commerce and navigation of the United
States in the Pacitick Ocean. Nat. Intel.
Ireland. —The honours of Ireland are thicken
ing to an extent almost inconceivable. Pei haps
there were never in the history of Ireland any
scenes comparable to those which have heen
acted for the last three or four months in Cork
and Limerick. Even in the Rebellion of 1798,
ihere were not, we’ are almost convinced, during
its entire continuance, so many houses burnt; and
though more property niuft have been destroyed
throughout the whole kingdom, yet certainly no
two counties have suffered v severely as Cork
and Limerick are doing this moment. If this hor
rible and appaling system continues for any length
of time, it will be impossible to remain in the
south of Ireland. Indeed we have leurned from
a gentleman very conversant in the condition of
tbe south of Ireland, that emigration, which was
principally confined to the nojtb, has begun with
great activity in Munster. From the neighbour
hood of one town, Borrosakuiie, thirty Uoman
Catholjck fami'-es have recently emigrated to
America. Maryland, which is in some respects a!
Catholick State, and Philadelphia, is the destina
tion, we believe, of these and other families.
A narro t| escape. —Near Bellefonte, Pa. a man
lately discharged his rifle near the road. Two la
dies and a gentleman were passing at the tioie in
a wagon, and the ball entered the wagon and
passed through the bonnet of oue of the ladies,
close to her head.

On the snbject of the election for Governour,

NEWSPAPER DEBTS.
. From (he National Intelligencer.
The conduct of some who call themselves hon
orable men in regard to debts of this description
is infamous. Means are sometimes resortad to,
for evading their payment, which are shameful.
When a man, after regularly receiving the paper
fur years, pleads that he only intended to take it
for one year, and will pay for no longer time ;
when another refuses to, pay, though he is per
haps a thousand miles beyond our personal reach,
on the ground of the account not having been
proved within a year ; when another pleads the
statute of limitation in bar of a jut claim, we feel
disposed to gazette these bankrupts ill integrity,
and expose them to the scorn of an honest Peo
ple. There is no money more hardly earned
than the subscriptions to newspapers—and it is a
shame for any man, who is able, to hesitate a
moment to discharge his newspaper account
when he knows it to be due.
We have received the following as an advertise
ment, but it may answer as a paragraph:
[National Advocate.
“ A gentleman who is tired of thinking for
himself, having tried it for forty years without ef
fect, proposes to set up a Thought Office, in a fire
proof store, and wishes to take a partner with a

be made known. He will undertake to think fur
any body who may he too indolent or stupid to
think for himself. He has on hand a great quan
tity of borrowed and some stolen thoughts, and
some secoucl thoughts, which some say are best.
He has loose thoughts and serious thoughts, arid
some thoughts of commencing business in Wall
