rnAwcE. The pope has acknowl edged king Louis-Philip. So also has the king of JNapIes. A royal order has appeared calling out 108,000 men for actual service. This caused some -excitement but was explained as only for the purpose of putting the army on its ordinary footing, that having been affected by the expedition to Algiers, &c. The great house of Vassal and Co. has ailed at Paris petitions had been preferred to the king for a loan of three millions, on good security as a stop page of their factories at St. Qaentin would throw about 25,000 people out of employment. Lafayette was gathering even a greater degree of popularity. A proposition to bring the ashes of !Napleon to Paris was made in the chamber of deputies, but promptly rejected. The minister of the interior has given orders to those persons who have established printing offices since the revolution, without license, to close their offices. A reform is wanting here. The whole arrival of gold and other precious things from Algiers, is put down at 43.000,000 francs say eight millions of dollar-. The poor wounded in Paris, who have been relieved by the munificence of others, are now uniting to raise contributions for the poor wounded of Brussels. Admiral Codrington has sent ten pounds sterling to vice admiral de RUny, for the benefit of the wounded at P'iris. The ex-ministers who signed the ordinance of 25th July, have been severally charged by the chamber of deputies, as follows: "1st. For having taken advantage of his authority to falsify the elections, and deprive the citizens of the free exercise of their civic rights." "2d. For having violently changed the institutions of the kingdom." "3d. For having conspired against the internal security of the state." ai.L T? 1 : :J 1 "iin. ror naving excueu war uy arming the citizens against each other, and given rise to the devastation of the capital and some of the provinces." These charges were adopted by a majority of 3 to 1 say about 220 to 75. The ministers will be tried by the chamber of peers. great Britain. The Russian am bassador had several inteviews with the earl of Aberdeen and the duke of Wellington. The duke, it is stated, had been strongly urged to interfere in be half of the king of the Netherlands; and the ambassador has declared that he is bound to do so by the treaty of Vienna. It is asserted m the best informed circles, that the king has declared against any interference, on the ground of impolicy, although he wishes good faith to be kept. There is much talk of changes in the British ministry and some think that even the duke of Wellington will soon be out of office. General Bourmont had arrived at Plymouth, England, with a single aid-de-camp, from Algiers. He proceeded immediately to Lulworth castle, the residence of the ex-king. An English paper says Our good king William seems to be quite as much of a citizen-king, as his new majesty of France, or farmer Jackson. He tell3 the sentries about his palaces "to be off -he can take care of his own things without the help of soldiers." He rides about Brighton in a fly, called off the stand and hi queen tells the maid servants that they must doff their finery and wear aporns. Netherlands. It is announced from the Hague, that the king has appointed a commission to prepare the project of a law for the separation of Holland and Belgium, on amicable terms. It would rather appear however, that the kiag expects his oldest son to have n sovereignty over the latter, which we do not think will be agreed to. The Belgians have established a provisional government, and issued the following Declaration or Independence. The independence o! Belgium was declared at Brussels on the 4th of October: the following is the decree: The central committee taking into consideration that it is necessary to arrange the future state of Belgium, decree Art. 1. The provinces of Belgium, violently separated from Holland, shall constitute an independent state. Art. 2. The central committee shall occupy itself as soon as possible, with a project of a constitution. Art. 3. A national congress shall be convoked, in which the interests of the provinces are to be represented. It snaii np ineiruuiy to examine the project of a Belgian constitution, and modify it in such manner as thy may deem advisable, and cause it to be executed, as a definite constitution, in all parts of Belgium. DE potter, stlvaiic vandewever, CH- ROG1ER, Count FELIX DE.MERODE. Brussels, Oct. 4lh 1820,

Large supplies of cannon, small arm?, and of the various munitions of war, have fallen into the hands of the Belgians. Tbe material found at CKtend, only, was valued at 7,000,000 florins. Nearly all the citadels and strong pla ces were in their hands, and they had taken several military chesls, well supplied. There had been a good deal of fighting at many places, but in every instance, the people seem to have had the advantage. 25 or 30,000 volun

teers had assembled at Brussels. It would appear that the Hollanders were much opposed to a war with the Belgians. At Amsterdam the women cried out that their husbands and child ren should not be dragged to butchery M. Potter, an editor who was exiled from Brussels, has returned, and was received, with the plaudits of the whole people and immediately taken into the provisional government. General Van Hallen appears to have acquitted himself with great ability. A letter from Brussels dated 29th Sept. says "The commander in chief of our troops has notified prince Frederick that he demands Messrs. Ducpetinux and Pletineky, in exchange for two superior officers, informing him that if refused, all these shall be 6hot at nine this morning." The number of houses burnt and otherwise destro)ed at Brussels during the late events, is reckoned at two hun dred. The tri-colored flg, in union with that of Brabant, was flying in many parts of the Netherlmds. A large portion of the people appear to wish a union with France --but that cannot be expected to happen as things stand at present. The Dutch troops are charged with monstrous excesses at Brussels and its vicinity. The violations and murder of women, the wanton waste of life and property, are spoken of in the severest terms but, probably much exaegerated. A very large number of Dutch officers and soldiers have been made prisoners. These will be held as pledges lor the safety of Belgian patriots captured. Most frightfulaccounts of the excesses committed by the Dutch soldiery in the late combats at Brussels, have been teceived both in Paris and London Letters published in the London Morning Chronicle, from a clergyman o! the church of England, detail a series of horrible barbarities. According to his account, several young ladies were violated, and then in a kind of savage mercy, butchered before their parents' eyes. A private letter received in Paris says "The Dutch villains in the late contest, behaved with the utmost barbarity, and committed every kind of crime. Citizens without arms, found by them in their houses, were crucified, burnt, had their hands, ears and noses cut off, and their tongues torn out; the young ladies of a school were violated by those monsters, and afterwards massacred; in short the diabolical deds committed by these wretches are such that it is impossible to describe them, & I should not believe them, if they were not confirmed by those who witnessed them." 'I he exasperation of the people of Bel gium at these excesses, has given additional strength to their determination never again to unite with Holland. In the mean time, they begin to calculate their means of resistance. The population of Belgium is estimated at four millions, and the number of men from 15 to 60 years of age, capable of bearing arms in case of an invasion, is computed by M. Moreau de Jonnes, at 1,193,329 men. i .... spain. i ne t rencn papers are tilled with rumors and reports from Spain. Orders had been given to the monks at Barcelona, to arm themselves to defend their convents. Several persons had been executed in that city, and their families banished. A fierce persecution prevailed there. All the dependents on the church were against the people. A great plot for the assassination of the king is said to have been discovered at Madrid. The liberals have been massacred at Oviedo, "by assassins organized by the bishop." In all the provinces, the priests and monks were preaching to the people exhorting them to make a St. Bartholomew massacre of all the liberals. The Temps, of Oct. 3, gives a letter from Madrid, of Sept. 27, which says: "News has reached here that the inhabitants and garrison of Cadiz, have proclaimed the constitutional government." There is a report that Ferdinand would offer a charter to the people of Spain, and thus defeat the plan of his enemies! Germany generally. There were great disturbances in Hesse Cassel, Darmstadt, Saxe Weimar and Hanover; Bavaria was ateo threatened. Bands of armed men had collected and committed many excesses, and there was some fighting. The Germanic diet was dopting measures for the preservation of order, and had commanded the marching of troops for that purpose.

All tne Turks have been expelled from Algiers. A corps ot 15 or 18,000 Moors and Arabs had been organized, and taken into the pay of France, by gen. Clausel. The late dey of Algiers will take up his residence at Leghorn, where his

agent has purchased two houses for him. Switzerland was in a much disturbed state. Extract of a private letter of the 23d till, from Rome: uThe lniux of French priests fills the streets of Rome, it increases daily, and the hospitality of the Christian capital will soon be found insufficient for this extraordinary pilgrimage. These ecclesiastics pretend that they were driven from their churches, when Charles X. was deprived of his crown. The) complain of persecution, of the triumph of impiety, and the contempt to which the Catholic religion is exposed. The) are conspiring here against their country, and wish to arm the holy see against France. The resignations given in France since the fall of Charles X. b) judges and deputies, find many imitators here among the pi elates and can ons, who are paid b) France." But the pope has acknowledged the new government of France. A rumor is pui foith that the young queen of Portugal is to marry a son of the French. This can be only a mere speculation LAFAYETTE. Translation of a letter from General Lafayette to General Cainard, of Washington City. Pans, 8lh Sept, 1830. Mr Diab GiSEK.it,; Abundance of news must have reached you through the periodical papers: Nevertheless, 1 think it will be pleasing to you to receive, some written details. You will have received 6om publicai in relating io our memorable week. You will also have read an account of the review by the king, in the Champ de Mars, for the diMribution of our tri - oloured flags to the National Guard. The ceremony was a? splendid ns that of the federation of 1790. We had five hundred thousand spectators; and every one was struck with the celerity with which, in less than three weeks, we have organized nearly fifty thousand men of National Guards armed, equip ped, a.d filing olF like veteran troops. Tne king handed successively to the general commander-in-chief the fortyeight tri coloured flgs, each surmounted with a cock in lieu of the old impe rial eagle, and with thiemotto: "Liberty Public Ordpr Days of 27 h, 2Stb, 20 n Jul), 1830. The commander-in-chief took hirmelf the new oath, and had it administered to the National Guard'.' The colours were intrusted to flag-bcarers, selected from among the mechanics who have distinguished themselves in lighting in the barricades. The National Guards are organizing throughout France. We have already fourteen thousand men for the two arroudissements only of St. Douis and See a us. I send to you the order of the day which I addressed to the National Guards of the kingdom. Next week, a law will be proposed for the fiaal organization of the French National Guard. All the citizens will compose the stationary Guard; the young men the moveable National Guard. From seven to eight hundred thousand fighting men will thus form good corps of reserve, Yu know that some disturbances have taken place in Belgium, they will end, I think, by the separation of that country from Holland, under the same sovereign. We have not interfered, except to signify that we shall not suffer that any foreign army should exercise any right of interference, leaving the nations to manage their own affairs, according to their will, but not willing that othrr governments shall interfere to oppress our neighbours. I send you the exact account of what has taken place in the Chamber, relative to South America and Mexico. You will see that I took care to make the order of the recognitions already made, and to give to our dear United States the share which belongs to them. Our republican throne has been recognized immediately by the English G iVernTient, and will soon, I hope, be recognized also by the other powers. You will readily suppose that 1 did not say that this was the best of Republics. 1 do not think so: and the Constitution of the United States appears to me far preferable. But 1 believe we have done for the best in the present circumstances; and have prepared, under a popular throne, all republican institutions. There are not in France patriots more sincere and enlightened than the King and his son. 1 knew them but little before, but they have inspired me with the greatest friendship and confidence; and this sentiment is reciprocal. This my dear General, is the point at which we have arrived. I do not mention to you some slight disturbances or errors among the mechanics. There is net in this any ill ideation.

and reasoning alone ha3 been sufficient io persuade them. After al), most of ihese slight disorder?, of which our adversaries have made so much, havt been instigated by disguised enemies; and there have been no real troubles but at Nismes; and the zeal of the neighboring National Guards and that of the Line, under the tri colouitd flag, soon repressed them. Receive the new assurances of my old and constant friendship. LAFAYETTE.

From the Louisville Public Advertiser. 'IO THE PUiJLIC. Improvement of the Navigation of the Ohio river at the Grand Cham. The superintendent of that work, feels much gratified to be able to inform the public, that he has completed his operations at that point, in a manner and to an extent which cannot fail to be satisfactory to every individual concerned. Th rocks have been all taken oat of the river from the main reef on the Illinois shore to the Kentucky shore, opening a channel at extreme low water, from the rocks to the sand bar on tbe Kentucky shore of about 1200 feet in width and four feet in depth, clear of every obstruction. Five buoys have been planed in the stream ' to shew those unacquainted with the place, the best and safest track through the chain. The first or upper buov,is placed at the x'reme outward rocks of the ref, winch project cut frm the Illinois shoreai Wilkinsonville or Cedar Bloll. The second buoy is situated on the left side of the middle reef of roc ks that form what is commonly called the middle har, at the head of the chain. The third buoy is fixed opposite to the upper large rock on the Illinois shore and on the outward point of that reef. The fourth buoy is fastened to the out ermost lock on the middle reef. The J fifth and last buoy lies at the extreme end of the lower reef and foot of the chain. The deepest water through the channel at its lowest stage is close to the buoys on the left as you descend the river; however, any boat that can cross the bars, either above or below the Grand Chain, may pass with safely, and an abundance of water within several hundred feet of the buoys, between them and the Kentucky shore, at all stages of the water. A boat should pass between the buo)S and the K otucky shore, and unices the river should be very high she would run extreme hazard to pass between the buo)s and the Illinois shore, as the rocks on the two lower reefs, are from ten to twelve feet above the water at iis extreme low stage, and within a few rods of the buoy on that side. The rocks that have been removed out of the channel were carried over and thrown into the channels that passed down through the rocks on the Illinois shore, in sucn a manner as to f arm a complete dam (by adding some iocks boated from short) from the rock baron the Illinois shore to the outer point of the main reef. U) that dam the whde of the wafer, when the river is al a low stage is forced to pass down the channel that has been opened and freed from rocks. The above described dam was built for the purpose of removing the sand-bar which was situated between the two lower reef of rocks and fre quently as difficult to pass as any bar on the river, there bring not more than 22 inches water on it, and has had the desired effect. The additional quantity of water thrown into the channel, increased the current to such an exu nt, that the bar disappeared, some da) s before the dam was completed. The large rock in the Little Chain has been aken off two feet on the top, which affords sufficient water over it; a buoy has been placed on a rock to the left of it. The channel is good on either side of the buo. The right is tinbest and deepest. Another buoy habeen placed on a large rock in the middle of the river, between the dry bar and the Illinois shore, three quarters of a mile above the Little Chain. The. best water is also to the right of ihat buoy. Tbe sand-bars in the Ohio river may be improved, by running out dams al certain places on them, in the same manner as the dam above described ; so as to afford at least 3 12 feet water at the lowest stage of the river. No impediment would be thrown in the wa of the navigation at a higher stage of water, by the dams, as permanent buoys could be placed on the outer points of the dams. The navigator would be able to see how far tha work extended into the river. A flat-bottomed boat would never float on to the dams, until there was water sufficient for her to pass over. The expense of such an improvement would be trifling, compared with the immense advantage of doubling the depth of water in the river at its lowest stage. HENRY M. SHREVE, Superintei.dant,&c. Editors of papers on the Western rivers, will confer a favor on the community by giving the foregoing an insertion, for the information of those navigating the Ohio river,

Drunkernneks, Blasphemy end Murder 1. Dru oVihi , on Tue-ort,Uu 2 of Nv. at the close of a rultu g bee,J..on Grariam killed Lt.vi O h II. The circumstances are given tru-: S)lvatus Lamphier in mocker) made a pra)er w hen Odell said he could make a better one; and while be was uttering his impiouf j irgn, Graham, bi ushing his hat in Odeli's fact, told him not to in-tke a mock of religion; upon which Oa 11 kicked him, and then in the language of witnesses, they "draok good liiends." S ion after this very peaceful dm kn g, Graham said he could whip any Odell on earth; a combat ensued between them, in which Graham knocked him down by a stroke under the jaw, which dislocated the neck, and after being told he was dead, Graham went IT whistling and dancing, and took another drink. The verdict of the jury was "Manslaughter,' and Graham is under bonds of 2500. The Drunkard and Blasphemer are left to apply their own moral to this savage and awful result of intoxication. And the shameless politicians who have chosen to denom.nate this transaction "another masonic murder," are assured by the witnesses that neither masonry, anliuaasonry, nor any political feelings or observations, had the leasi connection wiih it. The horrid deed was the common fruit of ardent spirit?, which destroy mre characters and livs than all other instruments of d'ath. Bath jX Y. Advocate.

Fratricide A murder was lately perp tr.ited by J.imes Scott upoo the body of his brother Reuben Scott. They are both citizens of this county, and had been during the day together at a shooting match; and hotb, as we are informed, drank pretty freely. On their way home in the evening, they fell into a dispute about some trifling matter, as which of their horses could pace the fastest. The excitement at length became so great, that Jarne alit trom his horse, and with the butt of his gun, at one blow, felled his brother from his horse and killed him. This unfortunate affair, like most others of similar kind, had its origin in intemperar.ee. Athens (Ala.)paper. Gold. Tne annual reports fr m the director ofthe mint, have for some ) ars past exhibited the amount of gold received fcr coinage. Oa refemng to those document', it appeara that the amount received from the southern statps, has increased verv consid rably within several years. Piei. as to 1824, the supply from domestc sources bore a very small proportion to the w hole, amount coined, and did n t, in fact, exi ted $3,000 yeaily. During the year 1829, however, we perceive that the gold of the United States received at the mint, amounted to about 134,000, being nearly tqual to the foreign supply forthe6ame period; and it is understood from a satisfactory source, that the amount received from the southern sJates within the first three quarter of t ho present year, has been nearly $320,000, while that received from foreign sources, within the same period, amounts to little more than half that sum. Phil. Gaz. The Silsby North Carolina Journal, states, that a gold vein was recently opened on the land of Mr. Patterson, in Cabarrus county, and from eight bushels of earth were oMained about 450 pennyweights of fluxed gold, 344 of which wer' the product of the first washing. The earth was washed iu the old mode, in rockers. We are informed that intelligence has been received at the Department of Stale of the arrival of Mr. R .ndolph at St. Petersbnrgh, where he was most coidially received b) the Emperor. It is, however, with deep concern that we state that his health, soon after hig landing, experienced so rapid and threatening a decline as to render his immediate removal to a more genial climate indispensable to the prcserva tion ofhi life. He arrivedat Lmdon on the 29ih September, oa his way to the South of France, where it is his intention, with the approbation of the President, to spend the ensuing winter, and to return to S. Petersbuigh in the spring, if the state of his health will admit of it. U. S. Telegraph.
