Foreign Intelligence.
Frori the Philadelphia Saturday Courier"., We furnish below the latest intelligence from Europe, extracted from London and Liverpool papers of the '23d and 21th of May: and, also, from French papers, brought by the packet Fredonia: Loxnox, May IS. It is stated that the squadron of Sartorius was
still at anchor on the. beginning of the month,
near the Bavonne Islands. Much discontent existed among the sailors. It is also said that the last communications from Holland indicate an approach towards a satisfactory arrangement. The tenor of the last communication from the
I labile is not vet known: but it is believed a
preliminary convention is solicited, and that an
armistice and the free navigation of the river
Scheldt are yielded until the conclusions of a de
finite treaty. Paris, May 21. The Quotodienne of yesterday has been seiz
cd, in consequence of the publication of a letter
from M. de Kergeley to the Minister of the In terior, in which the ex-peer speaks of the ac couchment at Blave, as a falsehood.
It is not true that a dud had been fought in
London between the Duke of Orleans and Lou
is Napoleon Bonaparte. The Duke of New Or
leans having made use of language at a ball
which being repeated to Prince Bonaparte was
thought otlensive by him, the latter demanded satisfaction. Colonel Marbot having replied, on
the part of the Duke, that being heir presump
tive to the throne of France, he had more to
risk in a duel than the exiles of the imperial
family, it became a personal affair between M.
Achille Murat and Col. Marbot, who, by the by,
is one of the individuals remembered by Bonaparte in his will, and who, after the death of the
Emperor, received, througli the liberality of the
great man, 100.000 franc. The parties had not
yet met. Brest, April 16.
The corvette "La .Sarnie." so called, it is not known why, since she ha9 been appointed to carry the Duchess de Berri to Italy, will shortly arrive under the walls of the castle of Blaye.
She will wait there until the Duchess has recov
ered from the effects of her accouchment. The
cabin has not been fitted up in any way extraor
dinary : nothing more than would have been
done for a superior officer.
The latest letters from Bordeaux Btate that
the Duchess is almost entirely recovered, and that her departure for Palermo will take place
early in June. Madrid, Mav 10.
The solemn protestation of the Infant Don
Carlos reached the Court on the 10th inst. Co
pies, it is said, were sent to all the crowned
neaas. ixevermciess, me preparations lor me fetes went on as if nothing had occurcd. It is
announced that a sham fight will take place on the 26th and 27th of June; 25,000 men will as
semble for the purpose, and it is stated that the King will command in person all the troops who are to act the part of defending the capital. As
for the rest there is nothing new in the Provin
ces, except robberies and assassinations, which
are of daily occurrence. A r renchman recent
ly fell a victim to his own courage. A band of brigands, had, during the night, entered a village
not far from the capital; and a warm combat en
sued between the robbers and some of the inhab
itants, headed by this Frenchman, whose name is not yet known, but who, after dealing death
to several of those rascals, himseli shared a simi
lac fate.
M. Calomardc, ex-minister of Spain, who, in
consequence of the late revolution in the Cam
net of Madrid, took refuge in France, has re
ccived orders to quit Toulouse, where he had ta ken up his residence, and proceed to Orleans. This step has been taken at the solicitation o
the Spanish Government, who are doubtless un rasy at having the ex-minister, who is a mos
zealous partizan of Don Carlos, so near the
borders of the Spanish territory.
The Lisbon Gazelle of the 2d May, states that
the schooner Caroline, and schooner-brig Eaya
lance, loaded with provisions for the Constitu tional army, were sunk by the Miguelite batte
ries at the mouth of the Douro, as they were at
tempting to make their way into port. Paris, May 20.
The news from Alexandria, received to-day
via Toulon, gives us reason to believe that the
affairs of the East are actually settled.
The brig Fleche, commanded by M. Pelion left Alexandria on the 10th of April. M. Mci
nault, Consul General of France at that port
despatched M. Chardin, his first Secretary, with highly important and urgent communications, which we nc has charged him to deliver to the
Government.
These despatches bring intelligence of the
signing of the Treaty of Peace between Ibrahim
I'acha and the Sultan. An express sent by
Ibrahim I'acha, and another by Admiral Rous sin, arrived at Alexandria about the same time
The French and Foreign Legations immediate
ly assembled at M. Minault's. Soon after, this news circulated through the whole city. The Governor of Alexandria had already received
orders to discharge the Artillery in token of re
joicing. All the French and Foreign ships fired a salute of twenty-one guns, and were dressed out with flags. The city was illuminated in the
evening, and a brilliant ball was given by the
consul General of t ranee, to which all the au
thoritics were invited. M. Chardin is the bear
er of the Treaty of Peace.
It is affirmed that Sir Stratford Canning, char
ed by the Cabinet of London with a mission reUtivelo the affairs of Portugal, has been entirely unsuccessful with the Spanish Cabinet, and Will return home In the course of a few days. - Paris, May 30. The insurrection which has again taken place in the Polish province is by no means 6uppressii. It appears that a corps of Insurgents had f-xon tbemFelres on the frontiers of Gallichia,
and that some fermentation prevail? among the
eople of that province. 1 he Government has
ordered a large number of troops in that direc
tion.
The 'Iondon Traveller,' of the 2lst of May,
contains the following particulars of a very large
public meeting:
" 1 he great Birmingham Meeting, at tvewhall
Till, took place, according to Mr. Atwood's let
ter of summons to the field. Upwards of 80,000 persons were present on this occasion, exceeding
by many thousands, the number of those who at
tended the grand meeting on the same spot last
May. We have not space to give the details
this evening, but must content our readers with
brief notice of the event. The immense con-
course was addressed at length by Messrs. At-
wood, O'Connell, Muntz and Hadley. Various resolutions were put and carried unanimously,
condemnatory of the conduct of His Majesty's
Ministers, who had betrayed the confidence of
the people, and turned their sanguine hopes into despair. A petition to the King, praying his
Majesty to dismiss his present Ministers, was al
so agreed to without a dissenting voice. Other petitions to the Legislature were also adopted,
laving for their object the reduction of the tax
ation, and the repeal of the corn laws. The mee-
mg hnallv dispersed, having conducted the
whole of the proceedings with perfect order and regularity, and Birmingham remained quite tranquil.
It is impossible to contemplate the unanimity
and determined spirit of this great assemblage without Coming to the conclusion, that unless a
diange f ministry shortly occur, convulsions of a nature frightful to look forward to, must inev
itably take place. Hie Government has
given a giant s strengtn to a mere awari, and
upon their heads rest the consequences of allowing organized bands of people to overawe the executive. It is quite clear the demands of the country for a relief from a pressure of taxation are so overwhelming that no administration can now hold office without resorting to an immediate reduction of the public burthens, in order ef
fectually to enlist the moderate men to oppose the designing acts of the party of the movement, now seriously contemplated.
llAMBt'Roir, May 1. The Russian Government in Poland, has pubished an ordinance of the Emperor, dated the
23d of April, by which persons accused of certain political offences, including the publication of false news, are ordered to be tried before
Courts Martial, the sentence of such courts to be carried into execution as soon as they have received the confirmation of the Viceroy.
The Warsaw papers also contain an account
of 25 individuals belonging to the late Polish army who were concerned in a recent unsuccessful attempt at insurrection. Five of the
party were taken by Cossacks on the lrontier,
one of whom poisoned himself, but the other
lour were brought before a Court Martial, and sentenced to death. The punishment was car
ried into execution on three of the surviving ac-
evmpfiecs with respect to the fourth, on ac
count of his extreme youth, the sentence was mit
gated into corporeal punishment and hard la
bor.
The celebrated tragedian, Mr. Kean, died on
the 15th of May at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock, A. M. at his house in Richmond, Eng.
The "Swiss Patriot," gives the following par-
. ft . . . .
ticuiars of the w unfortunate roles, who have
elicited so much sympathy from the admirers of
iiDerty tnrougnout the world:
"At a short distance from Soleure, on the high
road to Lucerne, is situated the village of Zuk-
wcll. It is there, in the vicinity of a chapel,
mat repose me remains of Kosciusko.
"Kosciusko! At this revered name Poland
should arise and threaten the tyrants oppressing
tne land ot Liberty. At this very name the glorious achievments of a great general bursts
j
on our minas.
"On the 3d of Mar. 25 Poles proceeded from
Soleure in military procession to Zukwell, to prostrate themselves at the altar of the Almighty to salute the ashes of an illustrious countryman, and to celebrate the anniversary of the Constitution, granted on the 3d of May, 1702, to the peo
ple oi roiana.
" 1 he sun gave the light of its glorious ravs to
he noble remnant of a nation as illustrious as
unfortunate.
"The hospital chaplain M. Saaner was at Zuk
well to give his pious assistance to the noble
netugces.
"The religious ceremony over, the Foles left
the temple, and knelt before the tomb contain
ing the ashes of Kosciusko. It would be difficult to describe the solemnity of the scene on seeing the heroes of Grochen and Oslralensky bathing with their tears, the stone containing the ashes . . - .
ot the hero of roiand, and swearing to march in his footsteps. Perhaps at that very moment the
vile slaves of despotism were insulting with their
sardonic grin me unfortunate roles, who, on the
borders ot the 1- rozen Ocean, are painfully eating the bread of Slavery.
A Polish officer in his mother tongue, briefly mentions the deeds performed bv Kosciusko in
behalf of his noble country ,and gives out that noble warrior as the model they are to imitate. s ft ft ft - . . ..... ..
roiand, says he, Ms not yet annihilated; where soever beats a Polish heart, still exists the nation
ality of Poland. He then, in French, staled
his satisfaction at being able to speak of liberty
in the land of Freedom; and to offer, in the name of his couutrymen, his thanks to a nation
that has given them welcome and entered into
their pain and suffering. And. like the people
who are always turning their feet towards Zion; the children of Poland turned their faces towards
the North, and saluted their country from afar. "An inhabitant of Soleure replied to this sen
timent; he expressed the wish of the Swiss pop
ulation: union, fraternity, liberty, and devoted
ness for those who have shed, their blood in the
defence of freedom.
"Thus terminated a ceremony which affected
deeply the numerous ppectators it had called to
gether. '
'THE CHOLERA. fJInrp our lasfnublication. there has been four
deaths from Cholera: Elizabeth Batchelor.daughter of L. Batchelor. Esar. and three Blacks.
Two other deaths have taken place as w ill - be . . - '
seen by our obituary notices to-day, but weicarn that they were not caused by Cholera. There are but a few new cases, and those of a mild char
acter. Our citizens, generally, en joy good health.
dj recent intelligence, we learn mat tne unoiera is raging at New-Castle, Hencry county. Between forty and fifty cases and several deaths during the past week.
from Greensburgh we learn that the Cholera broke out with great violence on Saturday and
Sunday, the 29th and 30th of June, and in a
few days thirty deaths nad taken place. An extra Danville Olive Branch, of July fith.
announces twenty deaths since their fast publi
cation, six whites and fourteen blacks. The
whites are, John Rochester, Mrs. Speed, Rev. Mr. Kerr, principal of the Deaf and Dumb Asv-
um, and wife, Airs. Roney and Phillip Yeiser.

From Harrodsburerh. Simnsonville. fcr. awful
O' 1 7 - ravages have been made by this scourge ofmankind. In those and many other places where it has raged most fearfully, it has now, by the mercy of God nearly subsided. From Shelby ville, Tennessee, in 60 hours, there were 55 cases and 40 deaths, in n population of TOO. Frankfort Ky. Argus,
Tim? cholera has raged with awful violence
at Salem in this state. Perhaps among all the severe visitations with which many of the western towns have been desolated, there has been
none attended with much greater fatality than that which has recently fallen upon Salem. Out
of a population of seven or eight hundred we learn that there had been on Monday last about 40 deaths, and several were still sick ; and these deaths took place among but a small proportion of the population, very many having left the town soon after the disease commenced its ravages.
which was about the 23th of June. Seven or
eight families only, we learn, remained in town on Munday. We have heard the names of seve
ral who are said to have, fallen victims, but we prefer not publishing them till we receive fuller information. We most deeply sympathize with
our fellow citizens of Salem.
There is no good reason to believe that the
whole country is not now in imminent danger.
It therelore becomes all to take a solemn survey of their situation, and to act as becomes rational beings under such circumstances. There is no
thing better calculated to prevent the terrible panic, which has doubtless acted as a powerful
auxiliary to the cholera in many places, than a calm contemplation of the approach of the disease
and a determination to combat it by all the means in our power.
Cases of Cholera occasionally occur, we learn,
in various parts of the state, but we have heard of no place where it prevails to a great extent except in Salem and its vicinity.
Indianapolis Journal, The Cholera is said to have appeared again in
Maysville with increased malignancy. We un
derstand that fifteen deaths occurred in the
course of two days; among whom was Capt. J. T. Langhorne. There have been between twenty and thirty deaths at Salem, Ind., since Thursday last, and several cases have occurred at Charleston. Leioisville. Herald.
The New Orleans Bulletion of June 20, eays We have little or no news to-day; but, the as
surance that Cholera has vanished from our City
is worth an argosy freighted with merchandize,
and "Latest lrom 1' ranee and England" Better than any thing from the "turban 'd Turk," from
Louis I'hihp, Mehemet Ah, or the Emperor Nicholas; from the pertinacious King of Holland,
or the nominal King of the Belgians.
A breath can make them, as a breath has made. But what can supply the loss of relations and
friends, whom we cannot recall from the "narrow house," where they are "forever laid?" We can at least preserve the remmembrnnce of their
social virtues, and imitate their good example.
TEXAS. We have received a printed copy of the Con
stitution of the State of Texas, made at General Convention in the town of San Felipe de Austin, in the month of April, 1833. It appears to be
sufficiently well drawn up, upon the model of
our State Constitutions and appended to it are the names of more than fifty members of the Convention, none of whom appears to be Mexi
cans, though the Mate professes to belong to the Mexican Confederacy. We perceive that Ex-Governor Houston, of Tennessee, was in the Convention, and we should have supposed that
he would be the most distinguished man among
them; but the Constitution is signed by William
II. Y harton as rresident. The destiny of this fine province is an interesting subject of speculation. Had it belonged to our country it would have been, by this time, well peopled and cultivated ; but its fertile and proline soil holds out no temptation to the unenterprising Mexican. It is staled in some of the Southern papers that the Mexican Government has determined to dislodge the American settlers in texas. The cause of this is said to be the
frequent disturbances among them, and their lawless character; but the true reason is, probably, one which would apply to the most peaceably and orderly settlers from this country. There are no doubt many adventurers of equivocal
character in Texas, the hardy life of an emigrant
orfcnunieris one wnicn would not be preferred by rogues in general. Bait. Gaz. .

The, Convention office people of eolor has termin
ated its session and appears to have come to the
resolution of recommending emigration to Cana
da, in preference either of Liberia or to Tax-
as.
The place to be preferred by those emanciated
is more particularly a matter of option with them
selves rather than of argument with us. or of
compulsion with our executive authorities, or
colonization societies. All will (perhaps must)
admit that their emigration is adventagooiis if
not indispensable to prevent their own depreda
tion or our having an impenum in irnpcrio a government within another whoc ingrcdk'iiU most likely never can be amalgamated thorouiihly so as to produce a harmonious whole. Hut
while we think it essential for the free people of
color to emigrate from the states and that fliey
should not be compclleJ to emigrate against their own choice to any particular place, we think they should be advised by those better competent to decide.
I he accounts from Liberia are ofa gratifying
nature; and if facts are the best standard of ar
gument, and experience the best ground of prac
tice, there seems no reason why Liberia should
not maintain the place assigned to it by our Colonization Society, as better adequate to the ob
jects of the emigrants to their prosperity nnd
to our peace. slmertcan bentinti.

that Mr. R. accused Mr. G. of some insincerity,
