Futtcral op Sir Walter Scott. The funeral of Sir Walter Scott took place on the 6th of September, when his remains
were consigned to the tomb amidst the unfeigned regret3 of thousands. Cards had been issued to nearly 300 persons, almost all of whom attended. As the long Juneral train passed through the villages and hamlets, one universal feeling of deep sorrow pervaded all chs3es. Groups of people were assembled at different pirts of the road and on elevated points from which a view could be obtained. Most of them were in mourning, and many standing uncovered. The streets at Melrose were lined on both sides with the inhabitants in mourning, and uncovered. The shops of this and other towns were shut, and the signboards were covered with black. Before the body was committed to the earth the English burial service was read by the Rev. J. Williams, rector of the Edinburg Academy. A little before five in the afternoon, the last offices were performed. The spot in which Sir W. Scott is laid is in the north wing of the splendid ruin of Dryburg Abbey now, alas! containing a more splendid ruin than itself. Here is laid the body of Lady Scott, and also that
of his uncle. The situation is secluded,
romantic, and quite congenial to all the idas of the deceased.
Portugal. The annexed article gives
the particulars in detail, of the attack of
Don Miguel s forces upon Oporlo, which
took place on the 29th of September. Al
though the assiihnl3 were repulsed, it is
Very evident that Don Pedro is hard pressed ;
and is in a situation of extreme peril. A
few more such attacks, and he will be obli
ged to fly to his boats. The Portuguese people appear determined to adhere to the Usurper. From the Falmouth Herald, Oct. 6.
Defeat of Don Miguel's troops, in an
ATTACK OV OrORTO.
The long expected attack on Oporto, by
Don Miguel s army, was made on Saturday,
. 29th ult., which dav is held sacred by the
Catholic Church,- in honor of St. Michael, after whom the Usurper is named, was therefore thought propitious of victory against
Don Pedro. On the two preceding days a number of movements of troops had been observed in the Miguelite encampment, all
of which gave note of the intended attack,
to repel which Don Pedro and his comman
ders made the best disposition of their for
ces. The night of Friday was dark and
lowering, and before day break rain fell in torrents. Nothing daunted, however, by
this ominous dawn, the Portuguese troops commenced the attack on Don Pedro's line
of entrenchments, directing their attention principally to that portion entrusted to the
defence of the British and r rench brigaacs
under the command of Col. Hodges and
Col. the Count de St. Leger, upon which they bore down in a compact mass. They were received with great coolness and determined bravery, but the unexpected arriTal of about 500 men to the ranks of the attacking party,- who came suddenly upon the French brigade under cover of a large vineyard, compelled them to give way.
Falling back, however on a part of the 10th cacadores, they returned to their former position driving the enemy before them with great slaughter; but the immense body of troops, amounting to 5000 or 6000, together with two pieces of artillery, which the Miguelite general brought against these gallant bands, obliged them again to retire, which they did into a square surrounded by walls, in front of the barracks, occupied
by the Britislr battalion. The contest now raged with terrible fury, and a momentary deficiency in the supply of ammunition to
the British' and French troops, gave the

27th July. An attempt on the part of
his Highness to levy a contribution, produc
ed a formidable insurrection of 10 or 15,009
men, who proclaimed a new Bashaw, Youhamed, son of the late eldest son of his Highness.
A battle was fought on the morning of he 27th, on the plains in front of the city,
which lasted from day light, till the intense
heat of the dav caused both parties to retire.
The new Bashaw was distinguished during
the action for his activity and daring courage.
The disaffection of the country, and the
hrge reinforcements expected from the in
terior, render it probable the insurgents will
be eventually successful.
These events create great alarm in the
city, and Christian and Turk are equally em
ulous of escape on board the shipping, whither all who can, have repaired with their treasure. The British Consul General had, with
great civility, given an asylum to the American Consul's (Mr. McCauley) lady and families, on board the brig which he had chartered for his own family. They were, by last accounts, all safely embarked. By still later accounts Sidi Jusel abdicated the throne in favor of his son, Sidi Ali, who in consequence, assumed the supreme authority. The contention is now between Sidi Ali and the new Bashaw, who is outside the town with a large force, and will probably make an immediate assault. Importation of Ardent Spirits. We have prepared the following schedule from official returns in different years. It will be seen that a material decline in the annual amount imported has taken place since the commencement of the Temperance Reformation, though we regret to see
that the returns for 1831, (the years in every case end on the 30th of September,)
show a considerable increase as compared
with those of 1830. Except in 1828, so
much of the quantity imported as was after
wards exported, is deducted from the amount here given: and of course the
amount here given, except in 1828, was actually consumed in this country. The
quantity exported in 1S2S was probably
trom 700,000 to 1,000,000 of gallons.

Pottsville, Nov. 3, 1832. Dreadful Occurrence. It becomes our painful duty briefly to annouueo that yester
day afternoon while twenty men were engaged in the coal mine of Samuel J. Potts, Esq. ihe water suddenly rushed down from an adjoining mine which has been for some time unoccupied, drowning two individuals, who were unable by reason of their situation to make their escape. The remainder sustained no injury one of whom was immersed in water up to his chin and saved himself by clinging to the roof of the mine. One of the deceased miners was a foreigner, engaged in the first day's work on this side of the Atlantic. Journal.

After the battle, about 20 of Miguel's 'men came over to Don Pedro, from which it W3S inferred that they had determined on
being on the winning side. TRIPOLI.
Under the date of the 23th July, 1832, we learn that there was a suspension of the
friendly relations between the Regency of
Tripoli and British Government, growing out
of the non-compliance of the Bashaw with
the demand on the part of the British Con
sul of certain claims amounting to about
S180,000, payment of which hud been for a
long time evaded. A British squadroijon-
sisting of two frigates and a sloop of war ar-
tached to any one, which would lead to a
detection of the perpetrators of this hein
ous offence. A reward of $40 has been
offered for the apprehension of the robber
or robbers. It is hoped that such an out
rage on society will not be permitted to pass
by unpunished. Telegraph.

Emigration of Ohio Indians. About 800
emigrating Indians, under the command of
Col. James B. Gardiner, are now on their way to the lands assigned them by treaty, west of : Missouri and Arkansas. They consist ofShawnees, Senecas and Ottowas,
and are marched in three separate detachments. Col. Gardiner is assisted by Col. Abert of the Engineers, and several other officers of whose great exertions and entire efficiency he speaks in the highest terms. TheShawnecs & Ottowas, passed through this place on Wednesday last; and the Sen
ecas diverged from the main body of Emigrants, by taking the road to Kaskaskia,
trorn which place, they will proceed directly
across the state of Missouri, to the mouth
of the N.osho river, west of the Territory of
Arkansas.
The two fcrmer tribes go to the Kansas
river, west of the limits of Missouri.
The several detachments left Ohio as late as the 1st October, and have travelled
with greater speed and success, than any emigrating Indians were ever known to do
betore. Gol. Gardiner has, within the last 2d
two years concluded five dirlerent treaties 3d
with the Indians, and has shown conclusive
ly, that there is really little or no difficulty
ninducing the Indians to sell their lands and emigrate to the west, if they are approached
with that trankness and sincerity which al
ways distinguish the real man of business,
Jrom the petty negotiator. We congratu late the State of Ohio, upon her almost tota
riddance of her Indian population. We hope that our own State will be re
lieved of its "aboriginal" inhabitants, in the
course ot one or two years at furthest. Illinois Advocate, of Nov. 6.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-
Orleans, to another in this City, dated Nov. 2d. "Ten days have now elapsed since the
Cholera broke out among us. The fatality
of the disease is really appalling; when I
say fifteen hundred persons have been sud
denly taken to their long homes, it is more guess work than any thing else; how many
besides have been thrown into the River, and how many taken to the swamps and interred, wo have no idea, but many, it is cer
tain. 1 ho I rench have objected to the use
of Calomel. The disease has within two or
three days, got into the old city and lower
Kiuxbourg, and is terrible. In the 1 rench burial ground, there are from fifty to one
hundred dead constantly above ground.
What may be the consequence of such cor
ruption of animal matter, I know not. I
think it would be better to burn instead of
burying them. Bonfires, tar barrels, &c.
are burning the whole course of the levee,
and along the streets. The city is envelop
ed with smoke, and the cannoniers are firing
through the streets in all directions. The
weather has become fair, and the Yellow Fever is still raging to the greatest extent."

Reports, official and unofficial, have come in from every part of the State, and are sufficiently complete to enable us to pronounce the result. That result is beyond a doubt an overwhelming overthrow of the Constitutional party. The west the glorious west has done nobly giving the Constitutional candidates a majority of more than seventeen thousand west of the Cayuga which is three thousand more than we expected. The north, too has done well Washington county alone where the majority was against us two years ago, has now given the Constitutionalists a majority

within a specified time the claims were not
paid, the British flag would be struck, and the Consul embarked on board the fleet. Accordingly the flag was struck, and nothing prevented the Consul from embarking but the illness of his eldest daughter. A sloop of war wa despatched to the admiral, who it is said, h :s orders to proceed to hostilities. The Bashaw, who is said to be in his dotage,has made attempts to compromise by part payment, making even an offer of $113,000; but all such attempts have been rejected.

Glorious news! Tha cause goes bravely on!" And such liko joyful exclamations, in so mournful a ton
of voice that it was enough to milt the heart of a stone. Although it was generally understood that the worthy old 1 uly could not survivo much longer, ns corruption was preying upon her very vitals, yet tho intelligence of her sudden demise came upon her friends like a thunder clip. She had been kept upon her legs while in the city by a free use of Dr. Biddies celebrated golden jnlls, and left town on Ftiday list, tho 2d of November, to make the tour of her estates, in order to ascertain what tho
Wolf had left her. She w;:s in high spirits, poor dear woman, on taking leave of her friends, who cheered hf r with loud huzzas; but scarcely had she quitted the city of Philadelphia, when it became evident that the corruption she had left wns the only kind of atmosphere she could breathe with safety.

J. A. Wakefield, Esq. of Yandalia,has issued a prospectus for publishing a History of the War. He has extended his original plan, "so far as to embrace not only the incidents of the recent war but to include also some account of the intercourse and relations of our Government with the principal north western tribss. This will enable the writer to enter more fully into a specification of the causes which led to the recent hostilities, and to give what he presumes will be interesting to most readers, the substance of the treaties between the United States and the north western Indians from 1604, down to the present time."
