LATER FROM EUROPE.

The ship Hants ville arrived last '---evening, furnishes London papers of 7th, and Liverpool of 8 th u!t: they .^f ^impart no new?.

It» stated in the London Court Jour|nal, that Jpscph Buonaparte had taken for one year, the hoose of General Sir George Ashe, No. S3, Park Crescent. «ij A second division of recruits, raised S |n England, left the rendezvous in

A Vest minster, on the 2d September, Jk join Don Pedro. The division coaIjBisted of 170 men, most of them farfners. They went out in steamers.

The Marquis of Palmclla, who had been on a special mission to London, from Bon Pedro at Oporto, had long conference with I^ord Palmerston on the 4th Sept, and departed next day for Oporto, in company with Scnhor Barbosa, with important despatches from the British Government to Don Pedro.

Prince Metiermch, the celebrated Austrian Prime Minister, it would apar, is about to visit England, taking russels, and some say Paris, on his route.

The Paris dates of the 5th September, when it appeared probable that no new ministerial armngeinci*? would take place before meeting of the Chambers, new triumph nad been

by the press in the acquittal at yons the editor of a liberal paper called he Precurseur de Lyons" on three distinct charges out of five.

The accounts from Portugal are not folate as received dircct from Lisbon at this port.

Charles X., late King of France, had taken passports from the British Government to go to Austria, with his family.

FRANCE.

The arrangements of the ministry* *nd the meeting of the Chambers, remain still a mistery. It was rumored that M. Dupin haa again failed in hi* expectation of a seat in the cabinet, and that he means to offer himself as a candidate for the Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies. Paris remained perfectly tranquil, and the cholera was on the decrease.

Subsequent letters state that M. Dupln had positively refused to join the ministry.

Imprisoned French Ministers.—The health of Polignac has suifered much lately from his captivity. It has been preying upon his mind, in spite of his fortitude and of the constant and affectionate attentions of his excellent lady. She at Ham, and permitted to visit him from 4*J to half past four in the afternoon.

PORTUGAL.

The war in this country languishes

almost to a point of ridicule. The annexed letters detail all that i« really known of affairs on each side.

OPOWTO, SKIT. 4,—The POSITION O Don Pedro lias materially improved lince I last wrote to you, and those who were then most doubtful of his cause, admit that his present security Is complete, and that he has established a post from whence TO can in safety organize his future plans.

Don Miguel's generals have drawn ,a cordon within three leagues of the town, and they have made several demonstrations on the principal roads.

ceive that their moyements arc observed. LISBOX, SEPT. 3.—Admiral Sartorios, writes to a friend that he has now got such a reinforcement as will ensore him success, if fampos' squadron comes out and says double Don Miguel's army in the north could not take Oporto-

Upwards of 2000 men, including several hundred Poles, will, wc understand, soon leave France for Oporto and in about a fortnight a similar force, from another point, will be on its way to that cih. \inong those wholhave already been sent out. are some excellent cavalry soldiers, for whom horses have been provided, and in less than a fortnight, Don Pedro will possess the cavalry /orce which he consideac^jiecessary for immediate operations.

BELGIUM AND HOLLAND, The Messager des Chambros states, that the difficulties with Holland arc drawing to an end. Leopold, for the purpose of preserving the peace of Europe, has ju^t acceded to all the propositions of William, such as they were set fort!) in the last act of the Conference. Belgium will not have the free navigation of the Scheldt, but will pay atoll^ which is to be pro tempore, that whichis applicable to the Rhine.— She will not have the right to open a direct communication with Germany.

A slight reduction on the interest of the debt will be made to her. Luxemburg will not be given up." w'~y

The papers contain a letter from the surgeon of the ship Shannon, of Hull, lost in Davis's Straits, in consequence of running on an ice-berg, on th 26th of April, in which he says: "We got to the forecastle, and made ourselves fast with ropes. When we countedour men, we wore 16 men and 3 boys short. We were seven days upon the wreck, without any thing to eat but raw beef and flour, and saltwater to drink. It tvas proposed, the night before we were picked up, that I should Weed those surviving, that they might drink their own bldod. The captain and 17 more were blood some drank their blood as it was drawn others, "with a little flour mixed in it. A young sjnan from Shetland, at the moment he had determined to throw himself overAboard, called out that there were two vessels coming towards the ship. This produced such a transport of joy as rendered us almost speechless, and all we could do was to press each other by the hand, and !o return thanks to the Almighty for the near prospect of our deliverance." The two vessels -%-ptovad to be two Danish brigs, in which ithe survivors were taken off, several of whom, however, dfed in the course of in few days from the effects of their ••previous sufferings* The total loss of fives was 28, besides many of the survivors being maimed in consequence of freezing, and rendered invalids for life,

GERMANY. '1^*

The German papers contain no facts to justify, in any manner, fears for the occurrence of revolt, insurrection, or even of less violent opposition to the will of the Confederation pronounced by the Diet. The Batten Government has dissolved all the committees formed in that Dachv for the relief of Polish emigrants, declaring that those brave but unfortunate refugees should in future be maintained at the expense of the Stute.

The Warlike operations of the Porte against its ancient vassal, arc by nomeans fortunate, and unless a stop be speedily put to the hostilities which arc raging between them, the Syrian territories of the Sultan will pass into other hands. Wr

VIENW, AWJ. 13.—The accounts from Syria arc very unfavorable for the Porte. Ibrahim Pacha is master of the country, having, as generally reported, taken Aleppo by storm. The Turks are s\id to have, made there a desperate resistance, but to have been at length overpowered bv the superior numbers and military skill of their adversaries It is conjectured that the Porte isdisposed to negotiate, and that the prudent Ali will not object the necessity of putting an end to an expensive and ruinous war must be felt at Cairo as well as Constantinople.

FROM THE tOUlSVtM.K HEKAf.D. 'J «TI1F. LAST TIE BROKRV."" General Jackson has avowed in his Vcto Message, that he and every other person in ofnee, may judge of the law and the constitution, according to "his 07cn understanding of it." This is a doctrine worthy of the Grand Turk himself! If this is correct, then wc might as well shut up our Courts and dismiss our Judges at oncfit The General has completed the round of incapacity.

Has in several instances made sucli appointment. Recommended a Koftonnl Bunk.

FAIR PLVY.—A gentleman being forced to sell ap&lr of his oxen to pay his hired servant's wages, told the servant he could keep him no longer, not knowing how to pay him the next year. The servant answered him, he would serve him for more of his cattle.

But

what shall I do," said the master, when all my cattle arc gone." The servant replied, Yon may serve me, and so get your cattle back again."

TO THE xnrreas or THE KEWsoasH GAZETTE. A teceder from Jaiksonism in the last Gazette in speaking of the meeting at Washington's Head Quartern at which Geo. Jackson was first nominated in this State, baving alluded to the writer of this articie Hn terms which cannot be misunderstood by the public, it is my right and duty to vindicate the coarse I then pursued. At that time three prominent individuals stood before the public soliciting the office of President, viz Adams, Clay and Jackson—4fcen of the first respectability, who harefatftfully executed rarions important offices under the government, and by their wi«lom and valor elevated the character of an American citizcn to the rank of the proudest noblemen in EH rope. With Mr. Clay I was personally acquainted. I knew him to be a republican in principle and practice. I bad heart! him on the proposition for the acknowledgement of the independence of the South American states pour forth a flood of eloquence and advocate those great principles of civil and religions liberty of which he has been the unrivalled champion through life, in a stream of eloquence which cxcitcd the admiration of his enemies and would have made tyrants tremble. I was intimately acquainted with his rife from the humblest obscurity to his present derated station amonss statesmen of the most brilliant talent*, and felt proud that I was his countrymnu Air. Adams was celebrated for his wisdom, and Jackson was surrounded with a blaze of military glory. The latter had often avowed his decided opinion that no man should be twicc qlected to tho office of President, anil I at that time believed what lte said. It appeared to me that his proposed amendment to tho constitution would destroy all pretext for the cxerci?c of executive influence at elections, by securing the independence of tho President against political intrigue in Congress, and that Mr. ('lay would come in, as of course, at the expiration of four years.

With those views, as the humble instrument of a large meeting of Revolutionary patriots and other citizens of the first respectability, I advocated the election of Andrew Jackson to the Presidency of the II. States FOR ONE TKRM OXLY. Though ho has deserted the high and elevated station he has assumed as an honest nnd consistent republican, and lost a favorable opportunity of transmitting his name to posterity as a disinterested patriot, I shall not follow him. Much as respect him as an American citizen, 1 have a duty to perform for which I am responsible to my country and posterity.—, Though he may have changed his principles I have not changed mine. I have nearly served" out the term for which I enlisted in a failhftil manner, and most earnestly hope the Old General's enemies who have him in keep, ing will permit him to indulge hi« ardent desire for retirement on tho fourth day of next March.

FROM THK IR1SI1 PATRIOT AN*n SttlKI.D. AXOTIIKR GLORIOUS TRIUMPH! The freemen of the City and County of Philadelphia elTectcd another most splendid victory, on Tuesday last, over the satellites of power and corruption, the odious banditti on whose "red" flag "spoils" is emblazoned, to nr^o on the followers of the heartless despot to plunder and devastation. Whaf a cheering spectacle docs the result of that day's election present to the virtuous father, the patriotic citizen? When wc look back at the state of our politics a few months ago and compare them with the present, what a chcering, what a salutary contrast is presented Then the upas breath of Jack•onism filled almost every corner of our land, there was no oasis to refresh the suffering patriot but now the strfng holds of the monster have been taken, Jacksonism is torn up by the roots the people have resolved to be free, and to prostrate the tyrant who ha# had the audacity to declare that he was "torn to command." So let it be with every usurper, so let ithe with every tyrant, so let it be with every depraved, malignant, heartless despot, who disregards the miseries of hi* fellow man —who looks with indifference on blood and carnage—who is insensible to the cries of justice or magnanimity, and whose heart can only bo reached by the voice of the most degrading adulation. When the people are

thns alive to their own interests', nnd the safety and pcrmanancy of our institutions the the country must be free. In Ibis city alone a change of more than one third of the entire rote has been effected already and when the November election come', Xrhcn Jackson stands alone unaided by the popularity of Mr. Wolf, and those voted for on Tuestlay, when his odiouo deformity is seen without any rih'tf, then it is confidently expected that he will not receive 2,500 votes in the city of Philadelphia. From all parts of the state the accounts are most favorable to the friends of liberty and law and to our friend# at a distance we wouM say, depend on Pennsylvania, she will be true to Democracy, to her principles, to her interests. She will show her sister states the noble example of abandoning meh% when these men have abandoned the principles which brought them into power. She is not ashamed to prefer principle) to mm and when one must be given up, she will never have any hesitation which to yield. f'innn' *m

Violent Storm.—-On Monday week the village of Newark,in Ohio, was visited by a violent gale, which passed from west toeaJt, and blew in the gable end of the Methodist Church, temporarily occupied as a school house, scattering the bricks and timbers a* nong thirty or forty children. Eight or nice of them received cats and braises on the bead, but fortunately none were dangerously injured. Ive Presbyterian Meeting House was mod) damaged, and what shewed the extreme violence of the gale, two boafth of considerable sice were hurled thro' ooexu' the windows and came oat at another on the opposite tide of the bouse! A large building erected for a High School was razed from its foaodatioa* and carried entire 16 or 18 feet. Hie frame of a large Soaring nil! was aim stored from its foundation: and a new tw» story brick building entirely demolished.

A brewtry,aad many other building* were unroofed aad otherwise injured—stables, parches and outhaildingi whirled in the blast, fences scattered, trees prostrated, witR other indications of the power of the tempest.

nox Tits rrntm JOVINU. The following letter is published at the request of the write^, who has lately left the Jackson ranks, and as a matter of course has been traduced by the hirelings of the party.

GENTLEMEN—I have just read in the of the 30th Oct. a letter purporting to be written by a citizen of Clark, whb styles himself a "SSi/nU J®Mu'or," in which I am noticed in slanderous terms. The letter is in unison with the*spirit which actuates all demagogues and tyrants. It if a tissue of proscription and falsehood, calculated to deceive by operating, like the Veto Message, upon the passions and prejudices of the people. The writer asserts that I am on a tour throngh the state, "preaching terror aud destruction to all who do not denounce the present administration and fall down and worship Clay aud the Bank." To this assertion I reply by pronouncing it false. I have, il is true, made several addresses to my fcllow-citizens, with a view to exhibit the practical operation of the United States' Bauk and its connexion with our commercial interests and prosperity, from which I have endeavored to deduce the conclusion that itsabolishment at this early period of our relations would be prejudicial to nearly every species of business. I leave to tho people who have heard my remarks to say whether I have denounced Gen. Jackson and extolled Mr. Clay—and thereby merited tho paltry fabrications of "a silent monitor," or not.— According to established custom he assails my private character and reports to the fashionable weapons of detraction, which have always been in the estimation of sensible men an unerring proof of a rotten causc." He asserts that I "assumed the character of Jackson mo-i" at the time I located myself in Jcffersonville, which he dates at two years ago. I can inform the "Silent Monitor" that I have been living in Jcffersonville upwards of three years and have been a warm supporter of Andrew Jackson for nine years, nnd would still support him if I had not the nio.«t conclusivc evidence that he has fulfilled the predictions of his enemies and proved himself incompetent to administer the Government entrusted to his hand?. ^4^

With, respect to the hoftftr^nforrrd upon me by the .Tackvm-party cf Cinrk in sending me to tne Jackson convention, I have simply to remark that that honor was not solicited by me neither did I urge myself upon them as a candidate for their suffrages for a seat in the Legislature. I appeal confidently to the citizens of my county to say whether I used eveu ordinary exertions to obtain an election, and feel assured that they will bear me out when I say that for several days previous to the election it was distinctly under* stood that I had withdrawn, and notwithstanding this impression and my perfect negligence throughout the canvass, I obtained a respectable vote. The "Silent Monitor" attaches but little importance to my speeches, and asserts that they have but

"little or no

influence." If this be true, why did he caution the people against me? How pitiful and contemptible must be the motives of such a monjtor, how unwarranted the proscription of such mercenary hirelings. The correspondent from Columbus discloses a purpose as disreputable to his party as the "Gag law" was to the administration of John Adams, provided it be true, which I do not believe. I was politely treated by many Jackson men, and doubt not that they would have decorously heard me if I had spoken on tho occasion referred to by the correspondent. No such intention, on their part waB even insinuated, but is the subsequent fabrication of a political fanatic, who I infer is of little consequence to the party to whieli he belongs.— But if such was the design of the Jackson party of Bartholomew, what should it teach ns.? Why that the liberty of speech and of the press are ere long destined to suffer the invasion of sacrilegious hands and find a grave, in the vortex of despotism. Such disclosures speak! volumes to tho freemen of this republic, nnd call loudly upon them to awake to the dangers which await our free institutions, of which mobs and unlawful combinations against our liberties are the legitimate harbingers.

CJLAY.—The life of ffenfyj^

Clay exhibits a continued succession of great efforts and intellectual triumphs. His parents were poor and humble: he enheritad nothing from them but indigence and honesty. He has risen, however, to the "topmost round" of honor, notwithstanding the disadvantages of lus origin. At the age of 20, he was licensed to practise law removed to Kentucky, and in a short time was at the head of the bar in the Western country. At 20, he was elected to the Legislature of Kentucky, and distinguished himself in his labors for his constituent. Jit 29, he was elected to the Senate of the United States, and make his first speech in Congress by advocating a measure of Internal Improvement. At 31, he made his first effort in favor of encouraging American Mechanic? and Domestic Manufactures. At 33, he was elected to the House of Representatives, a»K on the first day of his appearance was appointed its Speaker, which, honors ble, dignified, and important oflke hm continued to hold as long as he tvas a member oi that body. While he continued in the House, he was considered one of the leaders of the Republican Fartv, and universally acknowledged to be the most popular and eloquent orator then on the floor. At 37, he was&nt to Europe as one of the Com* missioners for negotiating peace, artd signed the Treaty of Ghent. At 38, he was again in congress, labored to restore a sound currency for the coun* try, and poured forth the thunders of his eloquence for a recognition of South American Independence. At 43, by reconciling the diflerence of party on the Missouri question, he saved the Union from dissolution. At 4ti, his voice was again heard in the cause of

Freedom, when urging the acknowledge ment of Grecian Liberty. At 17, he was made Secretary of State, and gained fresh npplanse by the ability uith which he conducted the arduous duties of that high and responsible ofRcc. At 54, lie was oncc more sent by his constituents to Congress as a member of the senate, jtist previous to which he had ft unanimous nomination, from a National Convention at Baltimore, as a candidates for the office of Chief Magistrate of the Union.

During tins brilliant career, Mr. Clay was always the advocate of popular rights. He was emphaticully the Friend of the People—but he was never their JlnUcrcr. In no part of hit public life will he be found to hav« acted the demagogue. An addroro fiom a meeting in North Carolina well says, that he has never sought favor by unworthy means, by ministering to po* pular prejudices—or by exciting or taking advantage of popular discontent. Those who arc acquainted with his earlier history, who remember the part he. acted in the councils of hit adopted State, ere from the higher ?ta- •,, lion to which he afterwards attained, he became more widely known, still recur with a just pride to the repea-

ted instances in which, with a generous disregard of consequences, he op posed himself to the strong current of misguided popular feeling. They still remember the occasions whcn,f„ with a ready devotion to the tree in--* tcrests of the People, and a firm fidelity, to the Constitution, he sacrificed liis^ popularity to his principles, and preferred the good ofthe people tothe favorof^ hit fellow-citizens. In this spirit he madc-" his noble defcnce of the common law.' in ihe Legislature of Kentucky. In this spirit he arrayed himself on Uur 4

not necessary to detract from the merit® of any of his countrymen.
