On motion, Resolved, That in voting for any nomination that may come before ibis convention, each township he entitled to three votes to be' agreed on by their respective delegate?. Tho convention then adopted the following nrcamblc and resolutions. Whereas, this convention believe that it is not only the privilege, but the duty of the citizens of these United States to meet at any time they may think proper, and in an orderly and becoming manner consult together and express their opinions on the conduct of their public officers, that the capable, vigilant, and honest may be stimulated, encouraged, and sustained; while timeservers, and those who show a greater desire fur the "loaves and fishes," than to promote the best interests of the country, may be discountenanced and discarded. Therefore, cs friends of Axdp.ew Jacksox, president of

these United States, and from a just sense of duty to cur country and to him, we do hereby express our most cordial approbation of the course pursued by him and his cabinet, in administering the affairs of our happy, prosperous and beloved country. Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention, the rejection of M. Vaii Burcn, as minister to England, was a sheer party act, produced by the coalition of the champion of nullification of the south, and the reputed father of the miscalled American System of the west ; &, that we deem this act an outrage upon the character of our country, and an insult to our worthy chief magistrate. Resolved; That wc highly approve of the course of our senators, in sustaining the nomination; and hereby signify our hearty

approbation of their course in sustaining and supporting the administration in all measures for the public good. Resolved, That this convention do approve cf the nomination of M. Van Burcn, as the candidate for the vice-presidency, to run with General Jackson, made by the Baltimore convention, and that wc will use all fair and honorable means to secure his election. Resolved, That the course pursued by the delegates to the Baltimore convention from the state of Indiana, meets our entire

approbation. The convention then proceeded to the formation of a ticket, to be supported by the republican parly in Dearborn county at the August election; and after balloting upon the various nominations made, adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That this convention do recommend to the democratic republicans of Dearborn county, the following ticket to be supported at tho next General Election on tho brst Monday in August next, and do ask every true friend of the republican cause to join with them in its support.

From the Ar. Y. Courier and Fnq. May 27. LATE FROM ENGLAND. The Packet ship North A3ii:iiica, Capt. MacaV arrived this morning from Liverpool, whence she sailed on tho 1st inst. Wc hive received by her Liverpool papers of that date and London of SOtli April. The Cholera appears by the official accounts to bo diminishing in Paris, but spreading throughout France. A London paper of the 20th, says it h is broken out at Ilarvc do Grace. All the French Minis

ters have been attacked. The Chamber cf

Deputies is prorouged. Wc givo an article from "Lc Constitutien0!"' of a very warlike aspect. The London Times, however,, treats it with ridicule and says the credulity of the Paris editor, must have been imposed upon. Wc should incline to this opinion, for it would seem that tho French troops are about evacuating Aneona,or at least that some amicable arrangement has been entered into in relation

to the possession of that place. The .Cholera continues very mild in Eng

land, but more severe in Ireland. Of the further progress of the Reform Bill, wc can as yet know nothing. Reports of War and or coalition against

France. FromLc Constitutionel of April 21. We Ixive this day received information of high importance which wc do not hesitate to make known to tho country and to the government. Wo do not vouch, we deem it our duty to observe, for the authenticity of all the facts, nor of all tho details; but the character and position of the person who has subscribed the letter which contains them, inspire us with and really merit such a confidence, that this letter, becomes a grave document. In not publishing it, we should think ourselves wanting in our duty to the interest of France, to the guarantees of its security, to the necessity of observing a stricter guard than ever over tho projects of foreign powers, and over the inter

nal intrigues of a fraction which has an understanding with them, to the necessity of

distrusting their pacinc protestations, their means of delay; and to compel them to declare, in a word, for peace or war. This is tho document; such it has reached us: "The Austrian army is raised to the full war establishment. The roads are covered with transports of military convoys. Tyrol is encumbered with troops, as well as Stvra and Carinthia, "GO to 70,0'JO men aro between Isono and the Adigc, having in the Legations a

"75 to 80,000 men arc camped and contoned between Milan and Tcssin, forming a camp of huts of o0,000 about that number between Sesto, Calenda and Bessalava. "At Vienna every thing breathes war, (ibis is concealed from tho French Embassy.) a general war; a crusade against the revolution of July within a few months. "Prince Mcttemieh is engaged in a plan

of arrangement and definite circumscription of France. "The basis aro a third restoration, not in f n or of Henry V. but of Louis XIX., with Franco penned up within the limits of tho

monarchy of Louis XIX, Charles X.as you know, Ins renewed his abdication to all the Courts in favor of tho Duke Angouleme, and the latter has retracted in favor of the Duke of Bordeaux. In case Henry V. should be fixed on, the regency would not be given to the Duchess of Berry; it would "by express convention with Ilolyrood," be given to Messrs. de Blacks, President; de Damas, de Villclc, de Latour Maubourg, de'Pastarct, dc Monthcl, dc Pcyroimet. Tho Emperor of Russia attaches himself to Henry V., and repels the Duke of Angouleme. Besides imitating the example of Alexander, he pretends to act the part of disinterested magnanimity in establishing Henry V. and his mother Regent (for some difference appears to exist on this point ) He demands only the reimbursement, in specie, of the expenses of the armament, and a recognition by Europe of the last ukase on Poland, which has met at Vienna with serious difficulties. Paris, April 2Q. It is with the most sincere regret that I announce to you the mental aberration of M. Casimer Pciier. This is anafffiction tor France, for 'the conservative party in Enphnd, and for all Europe. Tho Journal des Debats of to-day broke its long silence, and gave way to those sad reflections which so mournful a sub'ect could not fail of exciting. The Debats admits that the system of M. mi Pciier was likely to lose hb appui, but it maintains that nevertheless the same system must be pursued. Til. Casimer Pericr is insane. He has moments of calm, and

freedom from agitation; but to-day he has been in a state of terrible nervous excitement, and I regret to add that he must have dreadfully suitercd. The details of all I have heard 1 dare not commit to paper, but he is insane. The admh-sioiis of the Dc-

From the Illinois Advocate. The following is an extract of a letter from 1). S. Witter, Esq. to a friend in this neighborhood, dated Lowi.R Yellow Banks, April 28, 1832. "On the 21st, about midnight, five Indians entered my house and I made my escape

and got off. I had on tho day previous buried most of my articles, &c. On the 20th, Gorsham Van Atty started to go up to see me, for the purpose of ascertaining what I intended doing; when about half a mile below Edwards river he was fired upon by an Indian who lav concealed in the rass. mi O The Indian did not hit him, and Van Atty fired and shot tho Indian dead on the spot. Two other Indians immediately rose and ran towards Van ' Atty, but on finding the other dead, they turned their attention to him, which enabled Van Atty to make his

escape, iiiaci; nawk's banu is, at this time, about 1000 warriors, most of them in a body, and determined to tight; a few arc scattercd through the country doing mischief.

Wc extract the subjoined article from the St. Louis Beacon cf the 2 lib inst. from which, it appears that the skinna-h between tiio Indians and Col. Stillman's d.;tac!;ia::n, was not so fatal to the litter, as has been represented. 'There is no longer a doubt but that blood has been spilt on the Illinois irontier, and that war is now waging between the whites and the L.di ms. Th-3 report which readied us immediately after the engagement between Col.Stillman's advance corps, consisting 215 mounted men, the Indians, whom he overtook. Col. SlitSman was led into nn ambuscade, and defeated, by at least five hundred Indians; and that af

tcrthe roll was called upon the retreat

to the main body of militia, 52 were missing. The steamboat Enterprise, which arrived several days later, confirmed the report of an engagement having taken place, and of the defeat of the Americans but states it as more probable, that there were not more than 25 or 30 killed, and that the Indians did not exceed one hundred in number. This repoi t came from one of Col. Stillman's corps, whose horse was so lame as to be unable to keep ahead of the nursuinu Indians. With an in-

from his horse, threw his blanket over Ids head and shoulders, and was actually passed by the Indians having been taken for one of them. He, of course.; had the best opportunity of ascertaining the exact number. From the cir cumstances of the case, we ought to conclude that there were uot many Indians, as there were so feu Ameiicatis killed, and the Indians tired deliberately once or twice and then pursued our troops, who were in the utmost confusion. We have learned further, that a junction had been cllbcted by General Atkinson and Governor Reynolds, and thar General Whiteside, at the head ol 1500 mounted men, was in pursuit. The order for 2000 additional trcops, seems to indicate the opinion of the commanding officers above, that hostilities will at least continue beyond the 10th of June."

The hite ;inhalit-nls in the neighborh.ood of Chicago, except those who have tied to the cast of the Wabash river, have taken refuge in Krt Clark, at that' point.

The men of the country are underarms. No corn is planted, and as if nature herself hnd leagued with these ruthless murderers against them, the last inclement season has destroyed the farmer's seed grain. Shall wc, fellow citizens, quietly look upon these transactions? Can we look upon them without feelings of revenge without knowing (hat our assistance is necessary? How soon may it be before our own fronties are in the same way invaded, and our own brothers .and sisters scalped? Shall we allow these brutes to dull their tomahawk's on the bones of our friends in order that they may only re sharpen them for our relations?

On Monday morning lact, an exprers arrived at this place, from Brig. Gen. W; Iker,

Lafayette, hid. June 1, 1S32. LXDIAX WAR. In the last number of our paper, wc stated that a considerable excitement existed among tho inhabitants of Tippecanoe and several adjoining counties, arising from reported hostilities and depredations of the Indians. The alarm has increased to a degree beyond our expectation and certainly far beyond tiic necessity cf the case. It originated in reports of the approach cf a lanro body of hostile Indians and of various acts of violence committed upon Hickory creek. The public mind was prepared for the belief of these reports without regard to tho channel through v.dfcch ihe intelligence came, from the fact that Bhrk- TLmA- ,

nm! his party had commenced their savago warfare on Bock Bivcr. Since that time we haye received more satisfactory, inform.dioii fiom Hickory cree k, which Is distant from this place be, ween TO and SO miles. We now have before us two letters from gemh menefhiuh character and entitled to the fuikst credit, in which it is stated that a number cf Pottawattamics, accompanied perhaps by some Srcs, had made an attack en the settlement on Hickory creek, had plundered the property, burnt the houses and cabbin:?, and destroyed tho lives of ome twelve or ii'ficcn cf cur people. This is the only- certain r.ct of hostility in our ncighboihocd of which we have had any accurate information and this too is at saca a distance, as to create little or no ground for foar or alarm to the immediate doty of our county. About two hundred volunteers left us on Sunday last, mostly me anted, for the purpose of repairing to tho iiu;nl ddanger and of affording to ouriVoniier settlement eveiy protection in their pov.or. On tho succeeding dav, Mcndav, an express was recc ived hem his excellency Gov. Noble, by Brig. Gen. Walker, approving tha meauivs adontt d hv nnr ntT.

Walker, and the officers of the 02d regiment to march 200 men, already raised by them in tho anticipation of orde rs from him, and ordered them by tho return express, to march to the relief of the frontier. The utmost prudence and caution was enjoined in making the necessary requisitions cf men, arms, ammunition, provisions, lcc. for the service. Maj.Gen. Orr, who commands that division, was also ordered to superintend the execution of the orders sent to Gen.
