In Dublin alone, GOO men had been raised for Spani-.h service. They were to proceed by steamboat direct for St Sebastian. The ship New Jersey, Capt. Barslow, arrived at this port last night from Liverpool, bringing Liverpool papers to July 1G, and London to the 15th. The accounts from London are no later than were received yesterday by way of New York. There had been serious riots at Liverpool on the 12th and 13th, hiefly among the Irish population, and more than sixty of the rioters had been apprehended. In the House of Commons on the 13th, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced the intention of Government to abandon the present scale of duties on Tea, and to substitute in lieu thereof a duty of 2s Id per lb on all teas imported. Adv. London July 15. It is slated in the Spanish papers that in the treaty lately concluded at Madrid for the abolition of the slave trade, it is provided that the emancipated negroes are not, as heretofore, to be carried to the West Indies, contrary to all good discipline and subordination, but that the English Government is to provide for them at its own expense. In the Memorial Bordelais of the 9th it is stated, on the authorities of letters from Bilboa of the 1th, that the Carlists had entirely disappeared, and that a party of the Queen's troops had left the town to push their reconnoissances. In the course of the siege 20 or 22 of the garrison had been killed, and from 77 to 80 wounded. Erasco was dangerously ill, and incapable of assuming the command of the Carlist forces, and the insurgents of Navarra had refused to fight under any chief who was not a native of the nrovinrr. The cholera continued to rage with great violence at louion up to the bth instant. Out of a population of 35,000 hardly 10,000 remained in the place, the greater number having prudently sought safety by flight. London, July 11.

day of reckoning, though long delayed, will come. It is time for the public scribes to prepare the balance sheet. Theparlizansof Van Buren the, Ruckerites of the Baltimore Convention of course endeavor to treat the matter lightly, but it is some thing with the same grace that a fellow tries to laugh off a good joke upon himself, when his blood is boiling with supressed rage and impatience. But what are their objections? Do they say that Gen. Harrison is not a republican? Not of the modern stamp, we grant. Not such a republican as Hubbard, the Van Buren Senator from New Hampshire, who was concerned in the Hartford convention, not such a republican as Buchanan, the Van Buren Senator from Pennsylvania, who thanked God that he had not a drop of Democratic blood in his veins not such a republican as oger B. Taney, the pet of Van Burenism, t was in consultation with those who proi the famous Baltimore mob. Harrison ublican of 98 descended from a reof'TG. Thefatherofllarrisonisone band whose name will live while - copy of the Declaration of the Amcri-

. independence is preserved. The taint of tederahsmis not upon anj f his garments. He was a republican when Martin Van Buren was intriguing to displace Mr. Madison as President. He was a republican, while Martin Van Buren was writing a pamphlet in favor of electing a distinguished federalist to the U. S. Senate from New York. He has never been ought but a republican, practically as well as theoretically. He has ever cherished the principles derived from a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Do the Ruckerities obiect that Gen. TTnrri. son has not served his country? He was the Governor of the old Northwestern Territory, now including some of the mostimpoitant and populous states of the west, such as Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, before Van Buren had acquir ed the arts OI a Small nettifno-trpr in a In chnn He was fichtinsr the battles nfbis rnnntr uf Tippicanoe, at the ThameF rrMiainitur ih ravages of Indian hostilities, and conquering the armies of the British while Van linron was either striving to paralize the councils of t 1 t me nauon oy opposing the re-election ol Madi son or pocketing his immense and ill-gotton fees as Judge Advocate in the case of Hull fl. !.. 1-1 . i.... . . lucuiny wiu iiKe station in winch his patriotism permitted him to contend.

True he is poor. lie has not taken advantage of the numerous public stations he has filled, tnnmncc a r.-fnn for himself, to the neglect of the public service, like many of those who make the objection. He does not, like Van Bmpn. rid nhnnf h country in a splendid carriage, & servants in livery. He does not ani the mnnnprs nnrl ctvlo of foreign nobity. He obtains his livelihood by personal discharging the duties of the small office of clerk to a countv court. But is less deserving on this account? Will a candid and industrious people attach any weight to this objection, when made by those who claim to be democrats, but ape the manners and indulge m the practices nf aricinrici Butif it be an objection, we freely admit that cm uurcii is not name to u. lie is rich. Of the manner in which those riches were obtained, the large fee before allude to mar be f.,l-r, .. : J It is said that Harrison docs not rnmi nn in resrular succession? that he. is nnt ifm-nr. ite of the President? that the offical robe has not been cast upon him by his temporary poseunsui s x rue, ne is no "heir apparent."

His friends and acquaintances are invited to at tend. The foreeoinc card announces the death nf one ot our earliest settlers, and most entemriw . . - sing citizens. Mr. Hunt wasa native ofNew jersey, and was amonsr the first ofthe advn. turous citizens of that State, who located themselves in Cincinnati in association with John Clev es Symmes,the great pioneer of the Miami settlement. Cincinnati Gazette. In speaking of the lands recently purchased by the United States from different Indi an tribes, (amounting, in all, to 72,430,915 acres,) and which will soon be surveyed and brought into market, the Editor ofthe Wheeling Gazette says: uThe quantity is greater in bulk tban tb states of Virginia and New York.united.fthe A.

It may, before the present trpni-rntinn away, form several states, and in one of them may he located, during the present century, the future metropolis of our nation. Could the power of foreknowledge be nmnirpd hv any individual, it is unnecessary to add that the investment of a hundred or two dollars would yield as many millions to his posterity." Uouner.

The voicf, of Vandcrburtrh rmmiu InA A large meeting ofthe citizens of Vanderburgh county, without distinction of party, was recently held in Evansvile, and Gen. Wm. H.

D i iuus victory over me lintish at the Thames by the north western army under Gen. Harrison. Delegations are invited from all the counties in the state. Penn. Intelligencer. Col. Burr. We learn, is now very much indisposed and cannot be expected to live long. He is eighty years of age. He sent the other day for a particular friend of his earlv years under apprehensions that he had not long a lease in the world. 'I sent for you," said he, "I sent for you now, because at other times we might merely look in each other's face, but have no disposition to talk. He then handed over to his friend several important manuscripts, part of them intended for publication after his death. Among these papers there is a highly interesting Journal which Col. Burr kept during

hit travels in Europe, after the unfortunate affairs between him and General Hamilton. For beauty of description, shrewdness of remark, and originality of thought, we are informed that this journal is particularly pre-eminent. It will be recollected that Col. Burr while in Europe, moved in the highest circles, was intimate with the leading politicians of England and France, and associated with them in private and in public. Part of this journal is in the form of familiar letters written to the late Mrs. Alston, of whom a story was recently published, which in Col. Burr's opinion, is ridiculous and improbable. The grace, beauty, and feeling which are scattered through these letters, are heightened, from the circumstances of their being written to his beloved daughter. JY Y. Morning Herald.

A Fahle. A j'oung being sent down to this angel of distincton world on some business for the first time had an old courier spirit assigned him as guide ; they arrived over the sea of Martinique, in the middle ofthe long day ofthe obstinate fight between the fleets of Rodney and de Grasse. When through the clouds of smoke, he saw the fire ofthe guns, decks covered with mangled limbs and bodies dead or dying, the ship sinking or blown into the air, the destruction of the crews yet alive were thus dealing round to one another, he turned angriry to his guide and said, you are ignorant of your business; you undertook to conduct me to the earth, and you have brought me into hell. No sir, says the guide, I have made no mistake, this is really earth, and these are men. Devils never treat one another in this manner, they have more sense, and more of what men call humanity. From the Republican and Banner. CURE FOR THE AGUE. Mr. Robinson I send you a receipt for publication which I can recommend with confidence, it having cured myself, and many other persons, w hen almost all other remedies had been used without effect. I have never yet known it to fail. As there is a probability that the ague will prevail earlier than usual this year, in low flat countries, in consequence of the wet season, I hasten to send it hoping you will give it a place in your paper. direction.

Take one table spoonful every hour (when there is no fever on.) One pint is sufficient to cure an adult. For a child take in proportion to age. The stomach should be well cleansed first; if it is foul one dose of calomel will be sufficient. N. B. If the stomach is in good order and the person prudent and careful. thv will scarcely ever have more than one shake after they begin to use it. It would be well to use it occasionly afterwards, if exposed any, or much fatigued. JOHN SMOCK. Smockville, July 14th, 1835.

The Journal thinks that in this way they will soon get sick ofthe business. A nice point at taw. Blackstone speaking ofthe right of a wife to dower, asserts that if land abide in the husband for a single moment the wife shall be endowed thereof; and he adds, in a note that this doctrine was extended very far by a jury in Wales, where the father and son were both hanged in one cart; but the son was supposed to have survived the father, by appearing to struggle the longest, whereby he became seized of an estate by survivorship, in consequence of which seism his widow obtained a verdict for her dower.
