CONSPIRACY The following letters are the commencement of a correspondent that cannot fail fif being deeply interesting to a very large portion of our readers. We give then; publicity, that what succeeds may be fully understood. We ask attention to the serpen projects which Judge Johnston proposed to establish at the dinner. To the Editors of the S. Carolina Telescope, Sir: The enclosed letter from Judge "William Johnston, you will see by the con eluding p iragragh. was sent to me for publication. The importance of the allegation, that there has been for six years a conspiracy to dissolve the Union, (whether 1 be liee tt. high authority from whence it come ! r not) leaves me no choice but to put th.' accuser to his proof, imd the complying 1 'th his request will, it is tho't, bring him out The publication of my answer, d will be perceived, was intended, at the time it was wiitten, to be at the discretion of Judg-i Johnson. The committee of inviMticns have thought it best that the two Inters should be published together, and I see no imprcpriety in acquiescing. JOHN TAYLOR. Charleston, Aug. 50, 1S30 JTy D'ar 7ujlor: I have just received an invitation to your dinner of the 20th proximo. Pray tell rae, did it come from the committee or from some other quarter? If from the committee, I am sure not a man :f them could have sent it otherwise than as a maik of attention; if from another quarter, vou know me well enough to knowthat the jest is lost. But my object in either case is to inquire, whether, if I attendded the dii ncr, I could be heard with pa tience, while proving to the satisfaction of any man whose mind was in a state for thinking 1. That the protection of domestic manufactures was an avowed leading and necessary object of the Constitution. 2. That it was never lost sight of, but alwavs relied upon, as the capacity of the couutry to produce developed itself; 3. That the late attempts on a large scale grew out of a succession of such devclopements, and a state cf things resulting from changes in the application of labor, which imperatively required of every wise government to adopt such a course of policy; 4. That Carolina has not only not been injured, but really benefitted to many thousands by the tariff; 5. That no State in the Union is more deeply interested in maintaining the princi pies of the tariff; 6. That nullification is follv, and the peaceable course projected under it a silly and w icked delusion; 7. That it grows out of a deliberate conspiracy against the Union, which has been steadily working upon us for the last six years though very tew are m the secret; 8. That a Contention is the grand end, and aim, and agent of the conspiracy. My friend, you havejuch at stake, and vcu are not the man I would think to frighten, or wish or hope to deceive. Before Almighty Clod, I declare to you, that I believe all the above propositions to be true, and you have my permission; nay, request to publish this, with niv name to it, for I in earnest, vours, affectionately.

From the London Literary Gaz"'tt NAPOLEON BONAPARTE KXEC'O IION OF LOUIS XVI The history of this interesting fragment is as follows; and we U-a. e our readers to form their own judgment as to its authenticity. It appeared in a woi k w hich was immediately suppressed in France; and since that, period no tt ace of it has been discoverable; so that this MS. copied from it as the time, has very nearly the value ot an original. It purports to be part of a letter written bv Bonaparte, at the period of the execution of Louis XVI , and must be pe rused with peculiar feelings at this eventtul moment. "I shall now, my friend, become concise: I do not like the unfolding rf funeral crape. The King was condemned in dearth! and if the 21st of Januarv did not forever affix an odium on the French character, at leiistit added a glorious nameto the list of martyrs! What a town was Pans on this awful day! The populace appeared in a state of stupefaction: it seemed that the people assembled only to exchange gloomy looks, and to fly from each other without speaking. The street were deserted, and houses and palaces wore the appearance of tombs. The air even seemed to smell of the executioner. To be brief, the descendant of St. Louis was led to death through files cf mournful automata, but lately his subjects. j "If any one be near you, my friend, when you read this despatch (even were it your father,) conceal from him what fellows it is a stain on the stuff of which my character is made. That Napoleon Bonaparte should be sensibly affected at the destruction of a human being, and constrained to keep his bed from the consequences of this impression, is a tact scarcely to be believed, though true, and one which I cannot avow without blushing with contempt for myself. Yes, I experienced a feeling, which, however admirable in another, was disgraceful I to one who had disavowed all the weakness of the human heart. The night preceding the 21st of January I had not closed my eves; vet I was unable to account to mvself for the cause cf my unusual agitation. 1 rose early, and eagerly ran wherever the crowd was assembling I wondered at, or rather despised, the passive imbecility of 40,000 National Guards, ot whom ninetenths were only mechanically the agents ot the executioner. At the Porte St, Denis I met Santerre: he was followed bv a nu merons staff. I should have liked to have cutoff his ears. I spit at him, not being able to do more. In my opinion, his post had been better fdled by the Duke d'Orleans: his object was a crown; and we all know that such a motive overbalances many considerations. Proceeding along the Boulevards, 1 reached the Place dela Revolution. I was ignorant of the invention of the guillotine: a cold perspiration crept over me. A stranger who stood near me, attributed my agitation and paleness to a j peculiar interest in the King of France. ! "Be of better cheer," said he, "he will not) perish, the Convention is only desirous of ; proving its power, and he will meet his par-! dan at the foot of the scaffold," "If that j be so," replied I, "the gentlemen convenT'mri!iQti !!! lrt llinmcolr.'E fir .ITl thf.r' .

replied! "The King is not then saved! he is dead he is dead!" I pronounced at least ten t:mes these words "he is dead!" I became insensible for some minutes, and, without knowirgby whom I had been taken from the crowd, found myself on the Quai desTheatins: there I recovered in some degree of recollection, but I could utter no word except "he is doad! In a state of distraction I reached home, but at least an hour elapsed before I had perfectly regained my senses." From the Salem Gazette. HOW TO PREVENT DWELLING HOUSES BEING HAUNTED. Messrs. Editors: .Many persons whose circumstances might enable them to enjoy seven more than a common portion of domestic felicity, are rendered miserable, by reason that the houses thev live in are hannted A fiend, of a most frightful aspect, enters their bolted doers, stalks through their kitchens, their parlors, and their bed chambers, making frightful ncises sometimes hoarse, sometimes shrill: overturning chairs, the tables, the crockery, &c. and throwing every thing into confution, The name of this foul fiend is Domestic Discord; and it is of that species of demons which w hen once having obtained strong possession, is almost impossible to be cast out. Therefore I shall propose means to prevent the c v il, rather than remedies for it in its inveterate stage cf existence. Before giving your hand in marriage, examine critically the character of the person with whom you propose forming this important connection; and prefer those qualities

! which will wear well, to such as are merely showy. A fine face, a genteel air and figure, a charming voice, ready elocution, quickness of w it however attractive are poor substitutes for sound sense cultivated by useful education, prudence, integrity, benevolence, together with the residue cf the train cf domestic virtues. Expect not unalloyed felicity in the married state. Such an unreasonable expectation must ever piove the parent of disappointment. If you think your bride an an gel, m that the nun who gives ycu his hand in marriage will thro' lit; act towards you the puit cf a hero in a romance, a tew vears, perhaps a few months or weeks, will show you your mistake, and the never failing disappointment of such l omantic expectations tends to produce coldness, alienation, and bitterness of mind. Tne Angels "neither marry, nor arc given in marriage;" this kind of contract and relation is between meremoitals, who, at best, have some failings which must be overlooked or patiently bore. As before man iugc, you cannot be too critical, afterwards you can hardly be too candid in your judgment of each other. If yen find some unexpected flaws in temper, or iViblcs in character, assiduously endcaur to cure them, not by reproaches, but by al1 the winning arts of prudence and benevoler.ct ; or, if they should prove incurable, bearihem, as much as possible, with good humour. Meanwhile look steadfastly and chiefiy on the bright side cf character; and see whether the good qualities do not balance, or even out-weigh, the faulty ones. Your wife, perhaps, is peevish in her temper, and sometimes scolds; but if she is neat, industrious, frugal, faithful to all your interests, you have more cause for self congratulation, than for murmuring. Perhaps your husband is hasty and choleric when he uses passionate expressions towards you, let not the law of kindness depart from your tongue, but requite them with mild and soothing words: if you be yoked will a fool, i u:. 1 j i.-l.i " r t i an iiauuuai uruu&aru, or an unreeling Drute, all this will not avail, but if vour husband be a man of understanding and sensibility of heart, by patience and good humour, on your part, you will be able to calm the tempcsi, anu soouime asperities or ins minci. Ever prize the chain of domestic friend ship as the choicest of all vour household furniture; frequently examine every link; if any should grow weak, strengthen it; should any happiness to gather rust; bur nish it till its lustre be fully restored, so will you shun the grievous calamity of many, tnat oi living in a Haunted.

We make our extracts from the New York Commercial, Gazette, Mercantile, American, Courier and Standard. THE CIVIL WAR IN BELGIUM There has been six day's irregular battle in Brussels at times raging furiou-dv. and ending by the withdrawal cf the King's troops, alter much bloodshed on both sides, and a vast destruction of property.

It is no linger, therefore, the turbulence of an uniestrained, undisciplined and incor.fideratc mob, hut the rebellion of the mass, organized by men of military talents, and actuated by motives of personal hostility. A provisional hostility. A provisional government had been established, and the breach between Belgium and Holland now seems

irreparable. Should Prussia interfere, as is apprehended, to suddue the Belgians, it w ould be impossible, we think, for the coveminent of France to restrain that nation from an immediate co-operation with them. LotiVain has also been attacked by the King's troops, and the latter have been defeated. Bloody conflicts ci Brussels. The following news is from the Courier des Pays Ihis of S ptember Z6. This journal was on that day published, bearing the date of Sunday, and the three preceding days, the combat in Brussels during that time having suspended the regular daily publication. "On the morning cf the 2d. Prince Frederick left Anvcrs with his corps d'armee, on his route to Brussels. About the same time the Brussels Volunteers set cut by the gates of Schxbeck and Louvain to attack the troops which occupied the position ef Evar and Diegem; some others took the road of Ghent, to encounter the Hussars which were stationed on the heights of Zollick. Affairs of advanced posts continued during the day, and the number of killed was very considerable. In the evening the number of the Volunteers returned. Every body iepaiud towards the gates, and labored e 1 1 y whtie to reinforce the barricadoes. A proclamation cf Prince Frederick, published in the Gazette des Pays Bas, was speken of, and tie entrance of the trcojjs was momentarily expected. The night, however, passed tianqmdy. i owards eleven o clock, M.; Ducpttiaux and another person were des patched to the head quarters of Prince Fiederick to represent to him fully the exact state cf things. They could not proceed to th'j Prince they were arrested upon arriving at the advanced posts, and in violation of their quality of messengers were transported to Auvei s, where they remain in custody. On Thursday, the 53d, about seven o'clock in the evening, a body of grenadiers and chasseurs appeared before the gates nf Artillery immediately opened a fire upon them, which was returned bv the troops; the discharges continued, and soon the bulets began to fall in the upper part ot the town. The movement of the troops, however. advanced, and they occupied the lines and walls of the Botanic Garden, and opened their fire upon the people on the Boulevard in front. The stair case of the Observato ry was guarded by Volunteers from Liege, whose hi e covered the external glacis. At 8 o'clock, the gates of Louvain and Schxrbeck were forced, and the Dutch troops ad vanced through the new Kue Koyale, the boulevards and the Rue Louvain, towards the Park. A spirited engagement there took place, as the different columns advanced. The Chasseurs occupied the Hue de Louvain, and the front of the Rue d'Orange, and annoyed the inhabitants posted at tne oari icaue at i reurenoei g, uniier whose fire the grenadiers had debouched from the new Rue lUyale, many of the latter fell, and their wounded were made prisoners 1 he Park was at this time occuiied bv th troops, and they formed there with their artillery. While these things were passing in that quarter, s:'ine hussars and a detach ment from the inl ir.try division, entered bv the gate de Flandre, and advanced to the Pig-market, but they were soon forced to retire, and a part of them to abandon tiitir arms and baggage; a good number; among whom was a Colonel, were likewise made prisoners. This attack was up to this time the only one made upon the lower part c the town, the combat being otherwise con centrated in the higher quarter. The Park and its reighberhood formed then the principal point of the attack.im. o : . n im: n.iui jccuibi: -ruuery were near the Place Koyale, and a number of that corps were likewise at the barricade; others were near the staircase cf the Bibliotheque which they abandoned at mid-day. Ar.oth er post occupied the barricade of the Moun tain of the Park; a fourth held itself readv to debourhe from the Rue Rovals to the place de Louvain. The troops had their cannon pointed towards the Place Ravale From the moment when the staircase of the Bibliotheque was occupied bv the eren adiers, the inhabitants were engaged from both sides of thr end of the Bued'Isabclle, in a running tire, which they kept up throughout the day. The Hc-,:levaide. from the Mixrbcck gate to that cf the Namur, belnneed alto to the troops. Such was pretty nearly the position of both parties on the day of the ijd. The combat was a continual fire of musketry. The eng tgtmeiit continued till nightfall, when the live ceased, little by little, from all points. In their movement through the new Rue Royale and Rue Louvaiu, the troops took the barracks of the .. .. i . .1 .Annuuv.iti.ci; u arus evening mere was a rumor, that those which had occupied the I P.tt k, effeivd f cvavur.te it, provkd thrv were ails, .ve.l to retn e unmolested to their barracks but the abei.c cf anv thif amot.gat the Bourgeois rendered this erturt unavailing, each party maintained its poion, the Volunteers left some sentinels at tne barricades, and the iest retired-

Among this population in pcv-cj-sions cf arms, animated b eon bat, in the n.ubt cf a chv without authritit s at d abar.d'M ed to itself, not a single exc? was commitu d. Towards the end cf thodiy fhnts were seen for a few minutei issuing from a Imue in frcntof the gates rf Sciixrbetk and the barrack f the AnnonciudcsThe pot of the staircase of the Observatory, already spoken cf, "was surrounded by the troops from the time when they moved up.j'.i the BculcvariiN. The Litg ois defended themselves bravely, m. til th y had expended all their ammunition. In this extremity they drew elf during the . ening, and passing by the wall of the Boulevard, towards the country, they returned cn the following evening, afier'a leng det ur, and entered the town by the gate of Hal. However, during the r.i.t tur.r.v houses were occupied by the trw ps as will in the Rue Royalc as towards the Nairn; r gate. The fire re-r pence: Mt 7 o'clock u the morning of Friday, the 4ii The fire cf the

Kr.uTgeois was very spirited, and they gra gradliau cisicogea ine uuic.i sobers xroni tnc nouses mine nuc cc iamnr, ai.e xorcca them to take refuge in the Park, tf e Hotel of Pellvuc, that of the Ancient die of the Emperor, the Place Royal: PAncien Hotel des Gallcs, and at the corner of the Rue de la Roi. Many houses in the Rue d'Isabeile, in front of the staircase of Bibliotheque, were Idled by volunteers. The States Gen-' cral, the Pa!?ce, the houses near the staircase of the Biblictkequc, were in the hands of the Dutch. From all these points there issued a heavy hie of musketry. In the Park the soldiers endenored to cover themselves by the lues, and among their thick clusters. One of their pieces c f cannon, in battery on the Boulevard, ihcweied bullets into the interior of the town. At the Bank, the bullets knocked down a chimney, and penetrated the walls rf some cfthe rooms, L'Lstaminet a la vucdu Pare received more than a dozen, which pierced and shattered the w alls. The hotel of the Ducd'Trail and the Wocd-markct were alo damaged. Upon the Cantcnstcen, the house of M.Lcggewas struck by a bullet, which carried away a pert cf the wall cf the first fioor. These occurrences excited the mot general indignation, and to an extent difficult to describe. Towards evening, many conflagrations burst forth. The most terrible was that cf theM anege, which lasted all night. Evcrv tiiintr was there consumed. lJuimr the ;re atest raging of the hre, srn.c soldiers lostcd in the houses near the Bibliotheque hied, it is said upon the inhabitants, who w ere endeavouring to extinguish the flames. It was even said that the hre w as commu nicated bv shells, as cn theprrvii.s evening; the firing c-ased, and the night was tranquil. On Saturday, the 25th, the combat jegan anew about 7 o'clock in the morning. To the taking of the Park all efforts were then directed. The volunteers made re peated attacks, and entered many parts cf it. As well from the side of the Mountain ot the Park, as from thatcf the Place Koyale, the Braband flag was borne along the middle cf the Park; but it appeared that the confusion with which these diffe rent attacks were made, did net for the moment permit of their being followed up with advantage. The Volurteers were several times obliged to evacuate the Paik.and it is even said that by a fatal mistake two troops of citizens fired upon each other. However the Dutch troops enclosed in the Park were dreadfully fatigued, and they laydown in tneir position for iest. Such was the exact state of thmgs yesterday eenir.g: nothing has this day changed it, the troops remained always m tne 1'ark, and at this moment the fire of the Tirailleurs continues. A superior officer was taken prisoner cn Friday morning. Another was subsequently taken; they were both sent to the Artillery barracks, and from thence to L'AmiHospitals have been established in the chapels of the Madclaii.e and St. Ar.ne, and in many other public and private hourrs. Every where the brave inhabitants arc receiving and succouring the w oundt-d: Reinforcements have arrived from all the neighboring towns, and they ccn bat with great ardour, and at ence, notwhhstir.dmg the fatigue of their previous marches. By an order of General Wanthicr, th soldiers employed in the citadel of Tcurmy received double rations, as in a campaign. On the morning of the 21st, the car.r.oniers, instead of continuing their wcikson the bastions, have abandoned their tools and departed. "A SEW VICTORY. Louvain. Sept. 24. Despntch to M.
