LMPOR TA.YT FROM GREAT BR ITALY.

The packet ship Brittannia, arrived at New

York, from Liverpool, bringing London dates to the 16th of April, and Liverpool to the 17th, inclusive. Little credit appears to be attached to the report that a new Cabinet is about to be formed, in which Peel, Stanley, Brougham, Baring Wharncliffe, Aberdeen, Vyvyan, Hardinge with other men of similar character are to serve under the duke of Richmond. The writer of the paragraph might as well have swelled the list with the name of Wellington. London, April 15. The son of Mr.'Cobbett, alias "Porcupine," has sustained a signal defeat in his canvass for an

election to Parliament, for the ancient city of

Coventry. At the close oi the poll, the vote stood ForMr.Ellice, 1509 " Thomas, 120G Cobbett, 89 The title which Viscount Goderich assumed n his recent elevation, is Earl of Rippon. Appalling ravages of the Cholera in Ireland. In one family in the Parish of Kilmeen, in the county of Cork, and on the borders of Kerry, nine persons of one family, died of the fatal malady in the short space of five hours. A friend who came to visit the family, and a poor woman in all eleven persons, were seized by the direful malady, and hurried into eternity. So great was the terror and panic that prevailed in the neighborhood that no one could be found to assist in placing the dead bodies in the coffins, and all this heart-rending duty devolved upon an only surviving son, who performed the afflicting task of placing the mortal remains of a father and a mother, two brothers and a widowed sister, and three of that sister's children, one a grown up lad, in their coffins, and carrying them to their graves. Dumblan Post. j The Irish Proclamation. The second Proclamotion issued by the Irish Government under the Coercion Bill, for the suppression not of j Whitefeet outrages not of Orange irritation j not of an political or social crime but of the Irish Volunteers ! ! Lord Anglesea and his worthy Secretary, who was to regenerate Ireland, and bring down upon himself the blessings of those who wore ready to perish, have followed up as we anticipated, the proclaiming of Kilkenny, by the extinction of the legal and patriotic body of Irish Volunteers. This we foresaw. The proclaiming of the country was nothing but the prelude to the dissolution of the associate body, and was intended to save appearances on the part of the Viceroy and his Secretary. Kilkenny though tranquil in its capital, and more so than it long has been in its rural districts, has been the principal scene of Whiteboy outrages: and hence it was supposed that the Coercion Bill might be applied there with the better show of reason than in any other part of Ireland. The experiment was made, and presuming upon the quietness with which it was submitted to, the Irish Executive has followed it up, by the exercise of despotic power to which we now refer. It is well, however. The whigs and their hirelings denied the impeachment, that such was the use intended to be made of the powers they demanded. It was averred that their purpose was only to suppress the lawless desperado and the midnight assassin; to protect the juries and witnesses in the fearless discharge of their duty; to curb those fierce and turbulent spirits who had thrown off the restraints of law and the obligations of the social compact, while measures of redress and amelioration were being framed and completed. Let the world now judge of their integrity. One of their first acts is to exercise the unconstitutional powers they have grasped in stripping the people of their birth-right a right secured to them upon the same tenure as that by which the King holds his crown. They forbid to them the right of peaceably complaining of their grievances of constitutionally setting forth their wrongs of respectfully petition

ing for redress and justice. Here is a proof of

YV hig sincerity and patriotism a pledge ot their generous purposes towards the population of Ireland. Will the people of England regard these proceedings with apathy and indifference? Will they sit down in quietness, while a Government which they themselves called into being for purposes so different, are thus making war upon the dearest rights of the subject? It cannot, it must

not be. Let the Unions again muster their for

ces, and stop these men in their unprincipled and reckless career. The integrity of the empire is at stake. The liberty, the life, and the property of every maa is put in jeopardy, by the despo

tic ordinances of the Irish Vicerov. Men of

England! shake off your apathy. Let the whigs rind you to be the same in purpose and energy

as when you bore them into office, in spite of

their own weakness and the power ol their ene

mies, and thus save your country from the fright ful consequences of a civil war.

Suppression of the Volunteer Association. We copy the following from the Dublin Evening

l'ost,of April 12: By ihe Lord Lieutenant General and Governor General of Ireland. A PROCLAMATION.

Anglesey. Whereas, by an act passed in the third year of his present Majesty's reign, entitled "An Act for the more effectual suppression

of local Disturbances and Dangerous Associa

tions in Ireland," it is amongst other things en

acted that it shall and may be lawful for the Lord

Lieutenant and other Chief Governor or Gov.

ernors of Ireland, with the advice of his majesty's Privy Council in Ireland, at any time after the

passing of the said Act, and from time to time du-

jnQg the continuance thereof, as occasion foay

require, to issue his or their order in writing, of which public notice shall be given, to prohibit or suppress the meeting of any association, assembly, or body of persons in Ireland which he or they shall deem to be dangerous to the public

peace or safety, or inconsistent with the due ad

ministration of the law; and by the same or any other order also to prohibit every or any adjourn

ed, renewed, or otherwise continued meeting of

the same, or of any part thereof, under any pretext, name, shift or device whatsoever. And whereas, a certain Association, known by the name of the "Irish Volunteers," has for some time past existed and still exists at this time in Ireland. Now wc, the Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland, deeming the said association called the Irish Volunteers, to be dangerous to the public peace and safety, and inconsistent with the due administration of the law, do, by this our order in writing, prohibit and suppress the meeting of the said association; and we do further, by this our order, prohibit every and any adjourned meeting of the said association, or of any part thereof, under any name, pretext, shift, or device whatsover. Given at his Majesty's Castle of Dublin, the 10th day of April, 1833. By his Excellency's command, Signed W. GOSSETT. LVPORTAJW FROJK GREECE. Trieste, April 2. The Austrian packet, which arrived here on the 31st ultimo, from Corfu, in nine days, bro't letters from Nauphia to the 13th and from Putras to the 18th of March. According to the accounts from Patras, 7000 Bavarian troops took possession of that town, and its fort on the 13th. Zavellus surrendered it without hesitation, and was about to proceed to Nauphlia with his Grecian troops, to do homage to King Otho. The arrival of the Bavarian troops had caused great satisfaction at Patras, and created hopes of the speedy revival of commerce. The letters from Nauphlia states that among the decrees which have lately been promulgated by the Greek Government, enjoins all Greeks, who are of age, to take the following oath: ' sivcar by the Holy Trinity, and on ihe Holy "Gorprl of Jesus Christ, to be faithful to my King,

"OTHO, and to be always obedient to the laws of

"Greece." By another decree, a commission of four members, including Canaris and Sachturis, has been appointed to draw up a statement of the armed vessels and stores as they existed at the time of Capo d'Istrias, and as they also exist at present. A corps of 4,000 regular troops have been ordered to Nauphlia, to be reorganized. Another corps of 4,000 militia, after they have been organized, are to proceed to the frontier garrisons. According to the letters from Corfu, an ordinance of the Porte has appeared in the Greek Provinces, which forbids under severe penalties the emigration of Greek families. Men alone are to proceed to the neighboring State, when business calls them there. The refusal of Mehemit Ali to comply with the injunctions of the French Admiral, is already known. The Paris Globe publishes the reply. The exact translation of his letter is as follows: "Alexandria, 8th March, 1833. "Monsieur Ambassador:

"I have received your despatch, dated 22d of

Februar-, which has been sent me by your first Aid-de-Camp. "In that despatch, you represent that I have no right to demand any other territories than those of St. Jean d'Acre, Jerusalem, Naplouse, and Tripoli in Syria, and consequently that I ought to withdraw my army immediately. You declare in case of refusal so to do, I may bring upon myself the most serious consequences. Your Aid-de-Camp agreeably to the instructions you have given him, adds verbally, that if I persist in mv pretensions, a combined French and

English fleet will present itself on the coast of

Egypt. "Let me ask, Monsieur Ambassador, by virtue of what right you demand of me such a great sacrifice. "I have the whole nation in my interest; it is perfectly in my power to arouse Roumelia and Anatolia to rebellion. With the aid of my nation I can even do it with advantage. Victorious at every point, and when public sentiment already promised me the whole of Sj-ria, I delayed the march of my troops wholly to prevent the unnecessary effusion of blood, as well as to

afford me an opportunity to consult the disposi

tions ot European policy; and as a reward for this moderation, and the numerous sacrifices made by my nation, whose generous support has put me in a condition of achieving so signal victories, I am required to immediately abandon

the country which I now occupy, and to with

draw my army to a small province which you

call a Pachalic. Is not this pronouncing against

me a sentence ol political death?

"In the mean time, I have confidence that France and England will do me justice, and re

cognize my rights: it is at once their honor and

interest so to do. But if, unfortunately, I should

be disappointed in this hope, I will then cast myself upon the will of God, and preferring a glori

ous death to intamy, 1 will cheerfully sacrifice

myself for the good of my nation, ambitious of

serving it even to my latest breath. Such is my fixed resolution ; and history affords more than

one example of similar devotion.

"Whatever may happen, I hope that your Government will recognize the justice of my

rights, and urge the acceptance of the last pro

positions made by me to Halil Pacha, through

the mediation ot your excellency.

"It is with this hope, Monsieur Ambassador, that I write you tliis friendly communication,

and transmit through the hands of your Aid-de Camp. MEHEMIT ALI, Pacha of Egypt.'1

STEAM BOAT ACClDEiNT. From the Louisville Herald. We had prepared a short article on the subject of the loss of Steam Boat Lioness, from information derived from the log book of the Chesapeake ; we, however, substitute the following from ai Alexandria paper, containing more particular details. The untimely death of the Hon. Josi-

ah Johnson, will be severely felt in the State of

Louisiana, as well as in the Senate ol the U. fc. of which body he was a conspicuous member. The Alexandria Gazette of the 22d ult. says: "It becomes our duty to record an event which thrills us with horror as we relate it, and which has brought desolation and sorrow among us, by the destruction of some of our best and most valued fellow-citizens: as well as many others, with whose names we are at present unacquainted. The steam boat Lioness, on her passage from this place to Natchitoches, blew up with a terrible explosion and was literally torn to fragments. This disaster occurred on Sunday morning last, just at day-light, near the mouth of the Regolet Bon-Dieu. The explosion, or rather the three successful explosions, followiug each other so rapidly as scarcely to be distinguishable, were heard at a considerable distance. The fore cabin, and the boiler-deck, and the hold immediately under them, were scattered in fragments over the water for a considerable distance. Many of the passengers who escaped, were enabled to do so by seizing those fragments, after they had been, themselves, thrown into the water. In about two minutes after the explosion the hull of the boat sunk, leaving a part of the hurricane deck, and portions of the ladies cabin floating on the surface. On this the ladies (we are happy to say, all of them,) were saved, together with many gentlemen. The explosion seems to have been caused by the firing of some powder which had been shipped on the boat. There were two of the hands in the hold with a lighted candle, engaged in some arrangements there at the time the boat blew up, and the mate had gone down a moment before to assist them. It is supposed that by some unfortunate accident the powder was fired by them. By a letter from G. M. Graham, who has just returned from the wreck, we learn that lion.

Josiah S. Johnston, Bazil Q. Rigg, Esq. and

Charles lioyce, tisq. are among the missing. That the Hon. E. D. White has escaped, but is seriously injured from burns and bruises; that Messrs. Boyce, Dunbar, Sewell and William

Johnston have escaped without any serious in

juries, lliat Messrs. Koubieux and traham

were somewhat injured, the latter in fact very seriously; that many of the sufferers unknown to Mr. G. were on the plantation of Judge Smith in a terrible situation from their wounds and burns. Some of these it is thought would die. It is also stated that the inhabitants along the shores of the river generally, were prompt and persevering in their endeavors to yield every assistance possible; and, that they are still making

use of every effort to alleviate the sufferings of

those who have escaped with life. Even amid the gloom and horror of such a

catastrophe it is consoling to see the spirit of benevolence and humanity, displaying itself

in a generous assistance, and assiduous attentions of our fellow-citizens towards the sufferers.

From tlie Western Courant. MURDER AND SUICIDE.

It is our duty to record one of the most attro-

cious instances of murder and suicide which has

come to our knowledge for a long time; and for the honor of human nature it is to be hoped that

a similar duty may never be required of us. It took place at Northampton, Heth township, in this county, on the morning of the 13th inst. Marsham Winder, a man about 35 years

old, and who had, previous to this, sustained a fair character, entered the house of Mr. William Youtsler, armed with a butcher knife, with

which he assaulted the wife of Mr. Youtsler, who was alone and unable to oppose any resistance to

the hand of the assassin. He struck her several

blows with the knife about the head and neck and finally plunged it into her throat to the depth of six inches. His victim was only able to get

out of the house, when she fell and instantly ex

pired, winder then went deliberately to a

grindstone and sharpened his knife, the point of

which had been battered, as was supposed, by

the blow on the skull of the lad v. By this time

the neighbors had collected, and he fled to the

street, where he stopped and took vengeance on himself by thrusting the knife into his own throat.

There are, as is usual in such cases, many speculations as to the probable motives which prompted him to the commission of this horrid deed, but

we deem it improper to state them.

The husband of the deceased lady is absent on

business down the river.

A BATTLE!

On Sunday the 28th April last, a battle was

fought near Scudder s, in Jb orsj'th county, ueor-

gia, between, a party of Indians and a party of

whites consisting of about thirty on each side.

Their weapons of warfare consisted of fists, sticks,

and stones. I here was no Jives lost, but many

a black eve and broken bone was the result of

the conflict. Mr. Luke Robinson, from whom we obtained this intelligence, was present at the

scene, and described it as terrific. W e regr

that Mr. Robinson was in such a great hurry

that we had not sufficient time to inquire into

the particulars. The victory was claimed by

the whites; and we presume the quarrel origin'

ated in a dispute about the gold mines at that

place. Cherokee Int.

A Curious River. In the province of Anda

lusia, in Spain, there is a river called Tinto from the tinge of its waters, which are as yellow as

topaz. It is possessed of the most extraordinary singular qualities. If a stone happens to fall in and rest upon another, they both become in one year's time perfectly united and conglutinated.

All the plants on its banks aro withered by the waters whenever they overflow. No kind of verdure will come up where its watnr ro-.v-

nor can any fish live m its waters. This river

rises in the feierra JYlorena Mountains, and its singular properties continue until other rivers run into it and alter its nature.

THE CHOLERA. By the following article it will be seen that the Choiera is raging awfully at Maysville. CHOLERA IN MAYSVILLE. A few moments before our paper went to press the editor of the Herald very politely sent us a proof slip, containing the following melancholy

intelligence. We have not room to conv h;

editorial remarks, but we beg leave to return him

our most cordial thanks for his kindness. Gru cinnati Rep.

From the .Maysville Eagle & Monitor Extra. Friday Morning, May 31. It becomes our painful task to announce to thp

public the existence of the CHOLERA in our City to an alarming extent. On Wednesday morning last, the dreadful news was spread

throughout the place, that there was a number of of a desperate character embracing our most

temperate and exemplary citizens. The panic

spread as the disease extended, and our streets and houses may be said to have been deserted in thirty-six hours. It has now been forty eight

nours since the disease made its appearance, and we have interred TEN persons.

e have now lying dead and to be interred

this morning, NINE persons.

Our physicians informs us that there are bat

few new cases this morning, but that many of the old cases are desperate. Our city is literallv

depopulated all who could procure carriages,

wagons, cart or horses having lelt. We are happy to state that the disease this

morning appears to be milder and more man

ageable.

THE CHOLERA.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. In this City, has been a few cases within the

last week, classed as Cholera, by some physicians, but denied by others, to be of that character.

Whichever may be right, it is certain the cholera

assumes no epidemic or alarming character, at

mis time, in Cincinnati.

Although it has disappeared from St. Louis, it is

spreading in the neighboring country, and in the villages around. In several instances it has been

peculiarly malignant in a single family, or family connexion, which it would seem, can only be accounted for, upon the hypothesis, that grief and fear are powerful co-operatives in making it fatal. In this resspect, its ravages have been remarkable wherever it has prevailed.

Althougn, in Cincinnati, it is but doubtfully

admitted to prevail at all, in epidemic form, it

has been raging with desolating violence in neigh

boring places. But its stay is brief as it is destructive. Two weeks ago it visited the vicinity of the Great Miami, just above Lawrenceburgh, and about the same time, the neighborhood of Aurora, a few miles below. We state its course through one family. On Sunday, May 19, Mr. Eli Greene, in advanced years, in good health, and of exemplary habits, died of Cholera, after a short illness. On Tuesday, 21st, his son, Page Greene, and his daughter, Eliza Greene, were attacked, and died on Wednesday. About the same time, Hiram Greene, another son, and his wife, were attacked. The wife died, also, on Thursday. Hiram became convalesent When the mother of the family, widow of the first victim, was attacked, and died. Hiram, from the too free use of cold water, and other exposure, had a recurrence of attack on Saturday, aud died in a few hours. Here were six victims in the same family, in the period of seven days. And it is remarkable that Eli Greene had raised ten children, without losing one; the whole family being, healthy and temperate. There was but one other death in this vicinity: a healthy young woman of eighteen. On the 15th of May it appeared in Wheeling, from which time to the 30th there were 23 deaths. But there its violence abated after the second or third day. From Wheeling, it spread into Ohio, and cases had occurred at St. Clairsville, Mount Pleasant, and Harrisville. Nashville has been the theatre of its devastations several times. It recurred there again on Thursday, May 28, with renewed violence, and more than ordinary malignity. Twenty cases occurred that day, seven of which were fatal. On Wednesday morning only one new case was known. This account is made up from the papers received by yesterday's mails. There is every reason to believe it is not exaggerated. It is clear that the cholera is hovering over the whole range of the Ohio and Mississippi, from Wheeling to St. Louis. In its appointed time, it must be expected to alight in almost every town and village All, therefore, should be prepared, and all should remember that terror is one of its principal adjuncts. It may be met and overcome, or turned upon and subdued. But it cannot be fled from nor submitted to, but at imminent risk.

The West. During the last year, there pn?sed the Cumberland Road, for market, 3,55'i horses, I, 516 mules, 50,572 hogs, and 674 stallfed cattle, the value of which were estimated at $812,281. The whole amount of real estate within the city of Philadelphia has been valued, for the purpose of taxation, $25,818,144. The estimate ot the expenses of the city for the current year i four hundred and seven thousand dollars.
