LATZZrZQU FRANCE AND PORTUGAL. Uy the brig Mary Jane, Capt. M'Xinstry from Rochelle, we hare rereived Pari paper of the lTtbSept, and Bordeaux of tbe 18th.

V learn from these papers that Marshal Bourmont had actually attacked Lisbon, and had been repulsed. The iote&gcnce was received by a courier despatched by the British Ambassador at Madrid. Reports also prevailed of a subsequent attack, in which the Miguelites had been suc cessful; but these evidently were not tc be depended upon. Tbe King of ranee had returned Co. Paris from bis tour in Normandy. Pa sus, Sept. 15. Yesterday we received news from Portugal by Express. Tbe troops of Don Miguel, after reconnoilering Lisbon on tbe 4th, made a general attack on that city on the 5th. They have been repulsed. Tlte two armies on the 6tb and 7th, preserved their respective positions; another battle was expected. Paris, Sept. 15. Yesterday the King, Queen, and Madame Adelaide, arrived at the Tuilleries at three quar ters past one o clock. The American ship Delaware of eightf guns, which sailed from New York on the 11th of last month, arri ved on the evening of the 12th in Cher nourg Koads. ibis vessel bas on board Mr. Livingston, Ambassador of the United States to France. Pakis, 14th Sept. M. de Bour moot has (ailed in a first attack on Lis bon. He was making dispositions on tbe 7tb for another attempt on the following days. It is lair to suppose that his chance of success bas diminished at Lisbon, as well as at Oporto. All delay is favorable to tbe constitutional cause. The Miguelite general made immense efforts during his march on the capital, to organise something like an army, lie prepared, as well as he could, provisions for his undisciplined or beaten soldiers; but in fifteen days a Portuguese cannot be made a well drilled so'dier. After the check at Oporto, what M. de Bourmont had mast to apprehend, was a first, even partial deieat; and it cannot be doubted that a general battle without success, has caused discouragement and brought disorder in the Miguelite 'ranks, and destroyed, in one day, the order which the general had endeavored to introduce in the army. It is not here the question of a regular siege : it is of a battle on fortifications thrown op in haste. M. de Bourmont knew well enough the troops he commands, to take advantage of their first ardor, and led them to the attack in the hope of carrying the city in the onset. But these troops once repulsed, they hare to fight another battle with diminished hopes and courage. ' Boudeavx, ISth Sept. The doubts which wc expressed on the subject of the repoited capture of Lisbon on tbe 7th, have been justified hy the event, occording to some Pans journals. Bourmont attacked the capital of Portugal on the 5th, and was repulsed with vigor. The 6th and 7th the two armies were in sight of each other, but did not fight; and if a new attack was attempted it could net have been before the 8tb. Notwithstanding our wish that the cause of Don Pedro may triumph, because we believe it to be that of liberty, we cannot participate in tbe opinion expressed yesterday by another paper in this city, which empahtically pronounced that the Migulites were completely destroyed. The language of the bulletin issued by the Sent inellede Bajonne, and which we have republished, is far from justifying the belief that in a great or decisive victory ; because that bulletin says that Villa Flor re-entered Lisbon - immediately after the engagement. It is not thus an experienced general proceres, lie wouia avail mmsell ol his first success, and port ue the remains of the enemies battallions, without returning within the walls of the capital, and giving them time to rally and fight another battle in its vicinity. Matters remain then before Lisbon nearly the same as they were, with this difference, however, that the -check experienced by Bourmont on the 5tb, as well as his non-success before Onorlo. cannot otherwise than materi ally discourage the besiegers, and give ' hope to the Constitutional troops. We believe then the cause of Donna Maria on the point of triumphing, though every thing is not yet gained; at any rat, the contest cannot last much ;!orrer. By a letter from Vera Crux, da Jed the 18th ult.it appears that, owing to the continual strife of tbe several con tending factions, the internal affairs oft the country are in a very unsettled and gloomy state. The civil and mili tary authorities are at variance, and the latter not being supported by the Provinces vrere marching from place to place, and supporting themselves by f lander.

ed us yesterday, through the Tusca loosa Expositor, that toe duaculties in Alabama are assuming a serious aspect. The Washington Telegraph mentions that there was a Cabinet Council held est Thursday, and that the Secretary of War has been busy in retracting or rather explaining his orders. There appears to be no mistake in the Dosition that Gov. Gayle has asMinvd. lie is for open war, should 9 w the United States troops attempt to force the 30,000 intruders, so called, from tbe Creek Lands. Bicknelts Reporter, A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR. To the citizens of the counties in tke Creek A'ation. The Secretary of War, by the direction of the President of the United States, has instructed the Marshal of the Southern District of Alabama, to remove all white persons from the territorv reded by the Creek Indians, by the treaty of March, 1832, which ter ritory is composed of the counties of Benton, Talledega, Kandolph, foosa, Tallapoosa, Chambers, Kiissel, Macon and Barbour. These counties have been establish ed and organised by tbe General As sembly, in conformity with the views and policy of the Federal Government, and in pursuance of the Constitution of this State. The order, if executed will result in a destruction of property belonging to the inhabitants of these counties, to an almost incalculable amount, and inflict upon them other great and ir reparable injuries, not-less calamitous than those which would mark the invasion of a public enemy. By virtue of this treaty, the -Gov ernment of the United States have as sumed the right of removing by an armed force, not only all persons who have settled upon the public lands i but those also, who, in the opinion of its agents, have committed trespasses upon the improvements or the Indians, which are their private property, thereby undertaking, without any lawful authority, and in violation of our coromon-constitution, to regulate mat ters which belong exclusively to the laws and tribunals of this State. Tbe order for the removal of the settlers must necessarily be attended with the expulsion of our civil officers, the suppression of our courts', and in fact, the destruction of the State gov ernment throughout thrse counties. The right ot jurisdiction being ad mitted, the right to use the means that are indispensable to its exercise attaches as a necessary consequence: and -yet a military force is displayed upon our borders, to render imperative all the measures which have been adopted by tbe State government for the extension and enforcement of its laws. The course which the General Gov ernment has adopted, and is now pur suing, is h palpable and indefctiMnle invasion of the acknowledged rights of J the fctate, and in its tendency, utterly subversive of our free and happy form of eovcrnmenu 1 here ar now thirty thousand of our people alarmed at the horrors ol i starvation on one side, and of military execution on the other. In this hour of their afflictions, 1 recommend and exhort them to look with abiding and undonbting confidence to the majesty of the law. It will cover them over with a shield, impenetrable to the sword and bayonet. In order, therefore that "the laws may be faithfully executed," and by virtue of the power and authority in me vested, 1 hereby require all civil officers of the counties aforesaid, to be attentive to the people, upon whom any crime may be committed, or upon whom or whose property there may exist well founded apprehensions, that crimes are intended to be committed, by usuing ail such warrants and other process as may be necessary to bring offenders to justice, particularly such as a re guilty of murder, false imprisonment, house burning, robbery, forcible entries, and all such like beiuous offen ces. And all good citizens are required, when duly and legally called upon to aid aod assist in the execution of all such process as may be issued by tbe com petent authorities, and according to . . a aba 7 ine laws ot tbe land. And further more, it is enjoined upon the citizens in counties aforesaid, to yield a ready obedience to any precept or process mat may issue from the courts of tbe United States or this State; and es pecially to abstain from all atcs of un lawful violence towards the who igooraat of ear laws, and of) their rights, should be tauebt to look 90SJ their mora intelligent aeiehbors xar rr inzTsnon asa f rotecuoo

"Landlord," said a shrewd fellow, as he seated himself in the bai-room, and bore the gaze of the surrounding advocates at the bar, "do you know of any body who has lost a handsome ivory handle jack-knife, with four blades two large ones and two small oneshaviner a piece of silver on one side and brass it tbe endsf "No," replied the veteran landlord, whose proboscis resembled a ripe strawberry 'tipped with a pearly drop ofdew;why, have you found one?" "No," said the wag, but I thought I would inquire so that if I should find one I mtgbt knew whose it was " We understand that information has reached this place, that William B. Slaughter, of Lawrence county, and Abner M'Carty, Esq. of Brookville, have been appointed Reenter and Re ceiver of the Land Offices at this place, in the place of tbe present incum bents. We have heard no reason assigned for the change. We give the news merely from rumor. The information, however, is supposed to be correct. Indiana Democrat. Perpetual Motion. A Mr. Bridges of Virginia, gives notice he has dis covered a plan to keep the entire gear of a grinding mill in constant revolu tion, without the aid of any known propelling influence. Saltpetre. It has been discovered by Professor Rafinesque, is a deadly poison: and instead of preserving ani mal flesh, only dispenses scurvy, sore gums, decayed teeth, ulcers, dec. to those who"take the flesh in their teeth." Well, this is a discovery ; and we shall endeavor to eschew the evil, we al ways knew saltpetre as a deadly article as it is the principal ingredient of gun powder. A convention is to be held in War rtn, Ohio, on the 15th November, to consider the propriety and means ofj connecting the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canals. An old schoolmaster, who usually heard his pupils onre a week through Watts' Scripture History, and after wards asked them promiscuously such questions as suggested themselves to bis mind one day desired a young ur chin to tell him who Jesse was? when the boy briskly replied, "The Flower of Duntblane, sir." An elderly fat gectleman, in discus sing a warm beef-steak at a Highland inn, called to tbe waiting boy, Donald, bring me more bread, for I eat a great deal of bread to my steak." Donald answered, with much modest simplicity, Ay, and please your honor, and you eat a great deal of steak to your bread.1 Fattcsc I loos. Farmers are not generally aware of the importance of boiling food for hogs. The nutritive properties of food are increased, in some instances, from ten to twenty-five per cent- two bushels of potatoes boiled are more valuable for feeding than three when fed raw. Potatoes, pumpkins, squashes, and cabbages, when boiled and mixed,make excellent food for hogs, for the first three or four weeks, after which, those who wish for firm flesh should begin to add a little corn meal. Potatoes and pumkins, when boiled with a small

Hogs fatten better, and it can be done at less cost, when feeding commences earl than when it is deferred un til October or November, besides the pork brooght ea rly to market usually demands a higher price. No treaty has yet been concluded with the Miami Nation of Indians. Tis said, that tbe chiefs were waiting lor a dear sky, under which to commence their conference with the Com missioners, rears are entertained that they will not consent to sell their re serve of thirty miles, which constitutes one of the richest and most desirable bodies of land in the State. Should the Cemmtsaioners foil of obtaining these lands the treaty may be regarded as another abortion. Charles Getter was executed at East on, Peon, on tbe 34 inst. for tbe murder of bis wife.

I myself profess philanthropy I am a strong advocate for emancipation 1 have shed teats over the poor creatures suffering under the lash, as well as the culpnt on the gal-, lows and where is the man so hard hearted as to laugh at such a scene, though the fellow is receiving bis just reward. Consider that the God of nature has endowed all animal creation with faculties for its ova support that the different species can exist independent of tbe other that all that is required of us is a social intercourse with our own species and humanity to others. Such friends is my philosophy, though some of you may think I am no christian. Nature never designed Ethiopia sons for any other clime neither were they transplanted hither, of their own accord. Our forefathers brought the curse upon us, which we may lament, bat we should not increase by extending our miseries and not diminishing theirs, we can contribute to their relief without indulging them in idleness and dissipation, or associating our sons and daughters with them as equals, for such they can never be a spirit a-ilbinour proud breasts, says not!

And now, sir, 1 mil jest tell you what 1 think about the President, and the Bank,ec; I taluk that you and tbe Gineral are plotting ruin for the folks io the west, and ten chances to eleven if you dent git a letle disappointed yourselves. You have a heap of land to sell here, and you know well enough that Biddle's money pays for all the land you selL Now if you stop that j money, how are the folks mold Con necticut and ail them fur off states, to git their money here, to purchase land 1 for you know a body would git tarnation tiard trundling 2 or 3 IhouJ sano dollars io silver, on a wheel-bar, row, clear from New England, over our hang-down bridges to this country, and Congress wont make a law that any of your favorite bank notes shall pay for any of tbe -land. Tbe Roosters dont know any thing about the banks in Philadelphia, Rati more, New York, and away down to Besting, on! r Biddle's Bank, and if they did, th"y think it would be easier to counterfeit one of a dozen banks than if R were all ope set, and Diddle to judge into tbe bargain. And Hajor, I do really believe if you and the Gineral do bare so many banks to bold tbe public money, there wi3 be more counterfeits than there is fUers and drummers In your Brigade, and Secretaries turned out of ouce in youradnwaistratiua into tbe bargain.
