LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Pacific, Captain Waite, has
arrived at New York from Liverpool, whence
she sailed on the 11th of March, having been de
tained eleven days by contrary winds.
The Pacific has on board Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars in specie.
ENGLAND.
Sir John Campbell has been promoted to the
office of Attorney General.
Mr. Pepys has been appointed Solicitor Gene
ral, and sworn into office.
Riot in Liverpool.—A serious riot recently oc
curred in Liverpool between the Leinster and
Ulster Irish factions. They had fought three
pitched battles in the county of Cheshire and re
turning made an indiscriminate attack upon all
they met. Several police officers were greatly
injured before the rioters were overpowered.—*
Seven een of them, however, were captured
- and lodged in prison, and eight of them fully
committed.
Mr. Gleig, the author of the Subaltern and va
rious other works, has quit military life, and
been promoted to the chaplaincy of the Chelsea
Hospital. As he is a known Tory, this appoint
ment bv a Whiff minister, (Lord John RusselJ,)
has given great offence.
A Privy Council was to be held to deliberate
upon the expediency of grantinga charter to the
London University.
The proceedings of Parliament are uncom
monly and very particularly uninteres ing.
Lord Althorp had stated that it was his inten
tion to introduce a bill for reforming the Reform
Bill.
The Marquis of Westminster had given notice
of a project for altering the system of voting by
proxy in the Lords.
Lord Bexley, in answer to a question, said he
should take time to consider whether a bill for
the removal of the civil disabilities of the Jews
would be introduced during the present session.
FRANCE.
Paris letters are to the 8th, inclusive. Gen.
Lafayette had nearly recovered his health', and
was expected soon to resume his seat in the
Chambers.
The troubles in Lyons, among the operatives,
continued. It is believed they are stimulated by
those who are disaffected. They have formed
clubs, cried Viva le RepubUque, and shown di
vers disloyal symptoms; but, as yet, have com
mitted no overt acts of rebellion, excepting
against their employers. They continue, how
ever, to keep the National Guards under arms.
Connected with these movements, there had
been some tumultuous proceedings in Paris,
which were quelled by the Police. Forty or fif
ty arrests took place, and some heads were bro
ken by bludgeons; but as the Minister stated in
a subsequent debate, when arraigned by the op
position upon the subject, not a life was lost, nor
a bayonet used. At Nantes there had likewise
been some inquietude.
SPAIN.
Letters from Madrid state, that the monks of
Salamanca have openly declared against the
Queen, several of whom have been arrested.—
The other monks, who were informed of this act
of the government, assembled, and proceeded to
the prison to release them; but the students of
Salamanca being informed of their intention,took
to arms, attacked the monks, and put them to
the route, killing a great number of them. They
afterwards stormed their convent, and pillaged
it. No later information has been received from
Madrid than the 23d of February.

command of the army of operatives in the north,
to make room for Quesada. Valdez has been
appointed Captain General of Guipuscoa and
Viceroy of Navarre. The northern*provinces
have been cleared of the Insurgents, the leaders
of whom have sought refuge in Navarre. Offi
cers and men were all deserting the insurgent
ranks, and imploring clemency.
PORTUGAL.
Our advices from Lisbon are to the 1st of
March, inclusive. The attention of the writer
*is principally confined to the battle of the 18th
of January. Since that engagement upwards of
one hundred and twenty of Miguel’s soldiers
have deserted to Don Pedro.
The military force of Don Miguel was said,
on the 15th of February, to consist of twenty
thousand four hundred infantry, two thousand
tw’o hundred and fifty cavalry, forty-two field
pieces and thirty-six battering cannon. That
of Donna Maria, at the same time, wras said to
consist of thirty-six thousand eight hundred and
. fifty infantry, one thousand four hundred and
twenty five cavalry, with a large quantity of ar
tillery. This computation was made pevious to
the late battle, so disastrous to Don Miguel.
The title of Regent is omitted in the official
despatches ol Don Pedro. Count Sandalah as
serts that there was a Spanish battalion, belong
ing to Don Carlos in that battle.
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
A letter from Berlin, Feb., 21st, says:
From what we learn, the arrangements be
tween Belgium and Holland are likely to be
brought very soon to a favorable termination.—
Belgium is to have the entire province of Lim
burg, and Holland that of Luxemburg. The re
fusal of the collateral branches of the house of
Nassau will be set at nought. The regulation
of thetrade of the Scheldt will then be the only re
maining point to!be decided by the diplomatists.
Several important regulations relative to Ger
man affairs will, it is expected, soon be made
known generally.
Meantime, however, the Hague papers speak
of the marching of Belgian troops into Luxem
burg. to the amount of 10,000. Mr. Harmo,
the Belgian officer, who had been ariested by
the Prussians, has been set at liberty.
Brussels papers are to the 6th of March. All
was quiet in the capital. There had been some
tumultuous proceedings among the students of
Ghent. Nineteen were arrested in the affray j
- —one of whom was wounded, but all have been 1
released. Some of the heavy commercial hous • t
es and ship-owners of Antwerp, are emigrating i
, to Holland—with their ships.
GERMANY.
The Enperor of Austria had been seriously' t
ill; but was recovering. c
The German Councils appear to be busily en- n
gaged in regulating the affairs, duties, and re- tl
gulations of their internal commerce. r
•
TURKEY.
The harem of Adallah Pacha, the defender of
Acre arrived, on the 26th of January in an
Egyptian corvette, at Constantinople. Report
says that Adallah has already been appointed
to a Pachalik in Asia; some name Bagdad. He
certainly deserves some reward from the Porte
for his obstinate devotion to her cause in Acre.
M. Rothschild has finally come to an ar
rangement with the Porte regardingthe pay
ment of the indemnity; and he will, consequent
ly, remain at Constantinople for some months.
The winter up to the 28th of January, had
been unusually, mild, the weather resembled
I that of May rather than of January. This is
much in favor of the next crop of silk, which
will in all probability, be very abundant.

Comparisons establish facts sometimes better
than arguments—especially when the compari
sons are of positive and ascertained quantities.
One of the boasts of this Administration is, that
it is an administration of economy and reform.
With a view’ to put this boast of economy to
the proof, we annex from the publication, which
Watkins Leigh with happy satire designates as
a commentary upon the Constitution, more ex
planatory even than the learned and able work
of Judge Story—the Blue Book—certain tables,
setting forth the expenditures under the same
heads during the administration of Mr. Adams
—which General Jackson came to reform—and
those of the first term of the Reform. We begin
with

The increase of expenditure for reform, un

this it is to be said that during the four years of
reform ten millions more of the public debt
were paid off than during the preceding four
years—leaving still an increase—to be account

Horrid catastrophe!— W e learn from Glouces
ter, that about 10 or 12 days ago, a laboring
man of the name of Walker, a widower with
four children, living in the lower part of that
county, went out to spend the evening at a
neighbor’s a few miles off, previous to which he
put the children to bed and locked up the house.
Before his return, the house took fire, (in what
manner is unknown) and dreadful to relate! all
four of the children perished in the flames, be
fore assistance could reach the spot. A family
living about a mile distant, seeing the blaze, has
tened to it. and reached the burning pile just in
time to catch a glimpse, through one of the win
dows, of the eldest boy, (about twelve years of
age) in the act of bearing his little sister towards
the window,—and in the same moment to wit
ness the horrifying spectacle of the falling in of
the roof, and the overwhelming of all the dear
little innpcents in the common mass of blazing
ruins! But the tale of wo ends not here: the fa- j
theron hearing of the fate of his little ones, be- s
came frantic, and in a delirium of grief, rushed
forth, through the gloom of night, in the wild
accents of despair exclaiming—“ 1 willjind my
children! They shall not be separated from me!”
—Several days had elapsed, and no tidings
were heard of him. At the date of our infor- !
nation it was generally believed that the unfor- j
unate man had terminated his existence—pro- 1
>ably by drowning himself in York river, near \
he margin of which the tragical scene occur- *
ed.—Norfolk Her. * *
The venerable Bishop White completed, yes- -

OFFICE HOLDERS.
The following suggestions are made in the
National Intelligencer:—
“ And now, with all hope of present relief cut
off and nothing in prospect foi the industrious
and productive classes of the community, as vye
believe, but unmitigated and accumulating dis
tress—of ruin to the rich and misery to the poor
—but even supposing things to get no worse
than they are, what becomes the plain duty of
Congress, what becomes the duty of the House
of Representatives especially, w hich has, by its
late vote, soiemnlv guarantied the continuation
of the existing distress? It becomes its duty to
put all the citizens of the Republic on a footing
of equality; to forbid that one class, the office
holders, shall fatten wrhile others starve—shall
profit by the miseries of their suffering country
men, whilst they ridicule and mock at them.—
There can be no dispute that those causes which
arrest in any country the whole course oftrade
and all the operations of manufacture; which
throw men out of profitable employment, and
create a universal reduction of prices, have the
effect to enhance the value of fixed income.
The causes which produce the stagnation of
trade, the failure of the manufacturer, the bank
ruptcy of the merchant, the ruin of the planter,
and the beggary of the laboring man, reach not
the office-holder, except to make his salary the
more valuable. His income augments in exact
proportion to the diminution of income of the
rest of the community. And, as the causes which
depress the one and increase the other, flow
equally from the act of the Government, it is
the duty of the Government to remedy that sort
of injustice, by reducing the salaries of all who
draw their support from the public treasury, in
something like a proportion to the reduction of
the value of labor. The salary of every Fede
ral officer, (Clerks not being considered such)
from the President down to the Tide-waiter,
should be reduced at least one-third. A reduc
tion of one-half of the amount of their income
would not bring them down to a level with the
rest of their countrymen, many of whom, by the
folly and chance-medly mischief of “the Gov
ernment,” have lost, not the half, but the whole
of theirs.”
We listened yesterday to a thrilling recital of
the perilous condition, and miraculous escape
ofa gentleman laboring, as is believed, under
the effects of mental alienation. The cry of
murder was heard! It proceeded from a build
ing in Race street, near 3d, which arrested the
attention of our informant and others who were
passing by at the moment, and many within the
neighboring buildings threw up their windows
to ascertain whence the cry came. At the mo
ment, a man in his linen was seen to rush from
a window, and course his way rapidly along
the very eves of six three story buildings, cry
ing as he went—murder! murder!! murder!!!—
Every eye that beheld him, snapped and flash
ed with horror, and every bosom was heaved
with agony! On reaching the parapet he fell,
heels overhead, over upon the roof of a second
story house, and from thence to the pavement.
As he fell a shriek from hundreds of voices an
nounced the awful catastrophe; when instantly
on striking the pavement, his fall on which
sounded like the cracking of bones and the
crushing in of the skull, he sprang upon his feet,
and wildly ran, still crying, murder! murder!!—
He wTas overtaken, and found to be in an ex
treme state of nervous agitation, and still im
pressed with the belief that his life wras to be ta
ken. After aw?hile he became a little pomposed,
when he begged to be taken to the Hospital,
saying he had ahvayS heard Philadelphians spo
ken w’ell of for their kindness, and the Hospital
especially as a place of great excellence. He
was taken there. It is said this unfortunate per
son is from Long Island, and that he came into
Pennsylvania to seek employment. Failing to
procure it in the country, he concluded to re
turn to New York; took lodgings and requested
to be awakened at 5 o’clock in the morning, in
time for the Steam Boat. This extraordinary
occurrence happened about 9 o’clock on Thurs
day night last. Not a bone was broken.

A good one.—A reverend clergyman of this
city, recently on a visit at Washington, in a
conversation with the President, took occasion
to advert to the unusual state of excitement at
Washington, and the uneasiness it must occa
sion in the mind of the chief magistrate, wrho in
return stated that he suffered exceedingly in
mind rPhp rpvprpnd ppntlpman pnnniipil if Up
might ask what particular subject gave him the
greatest uneasiness. The President said that
which distressed him most, and about which he
was most concerned, was the dissensions which
existed in the Presbyterian Church!!

Political Excitement.—Never within our re

great as it is at present, in this city. All classes
attend political meetings, either public or lo

attended to these matters for years are engag
ed at Porter and Public Houses, discussing the
political state of affairs. So great is the feeling
that it is predicted that upwards of thirty-five
thousand votes will be taken, a number far ex
ceeding that of many of the States. The public
abroad appear equally solicitous; all eyes are
turned on the contest here, and well it may be
when it is well known that this city has for
several years decided the state.

ALEXANDRIA:
TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1834.
THE POOR AGAINST THE RICH.
The incendiary cry to the Poor to war againsl
the Rich, has never been raised south of the
Potomac. Such senseless and wicked appeals
belong only, it seems to us, to political factions
and infidel sects. Honest men and true Chris
tians stop their ears to a voice which first issued
in this country from the mouth of Fanny
Wright! Busy-bodies, office seekers, dema
gogues, disappointed men and bad men, may
j renew the cry; but the broad Potomac breaks
I its echoes, and the Southern country heeds ii
j not. There is nothing of chivalry or honor ir
! it. It is low—mean.
The imputation of being-attached to 11 a de
graded class,” because a man is poor and works
for his daily bread, ought to be rejected, and h
j rejected with scorn and contempt by every intel
j ligent man in the country; and they who make tin
| imputation at once show how grovelling must b<
I their own conceptions. It is these very things tha
: have contributed, in many instances, to lowe]
• the character of the real working classes ir
; their own opinions, and consequently in the opi
nions of others: for let a man once forget hi:
own self-respect, and he will soon find other:
willing and ready to forget it also.
We may be excused for referring to this mat
ter in consequence of the nefarious use of st
base an appeal to senseless prejudice, in the po
litics of the country. And it is with referenci
to that subject alone that we consider it. Situ
ated as Mr. Wilde of Ga. is,—and, like him
“ raised from the people, by the people, anc
■ <i. .1. ___j_i__i_i_j.
Willi me jjcujuu —aiiu. aiuciiuj auu ^.caiuuaij
devoted to their true interests and happiness
—we quote .and adopt his sentiments deliverec
in the House of Representatives, a few day;
ago, when he had occasion to recur to the ap
peal we have mentioned:
“ A shout has been raised by servile tongues
and pens, and presses, that this is a struggle be
tween the poor and the rich. This most odiou:
cry, as false as it is base, is but the echo of tha
which rose from wretches covered with the
mud and gore of Paris during the reign of ter
ror. Sir, I am far from rich myself, eomparec
with many who utter this disgusting cry; I arr
poor, and I hare labored with my own hands
I have never forgotten, and shall never forget
the humility of my early fortunes. I am proui
of it. Sir, I am a man of the people; raisec
from the people, by the people, and always, 1
trust, with the people. But I am n.tone ol
those who have the people forever in their
mouths and never in their hearts. I have man)
good reasons for speaking of them seldom. J
will mention but one; because, as that is one of
policy, this House may give me credit for it.—
When we are always telling the dear people
how much we love them, they are apt to become
a little jealous.
“ Sir, I have said the cry was false. Who
has the most interest in that currency, whose
derangement spreads distress through a whole
nation, and throws thousands and tens of thous
ands out of employment? The rich man has
his capital, which he can withdraw, hoard,
transfer to foreign lands, re-invest or consume.
The poor man’s only capital is his daily labor,
and he must dispose of it every day, or it is
lost to him forever. Labor is nearly the first
thing that fails when the currency is disturbed.
It is the last thing that rises when the currency
is restored. The poor, then, are always the
greatest sufferers by a deranged currency; they
have always the greatest interest in a sound
one. And as the income arising from the labor
of the poor greatly exceeds in aggregate value
the income arising from the capital of the rich,
it is the poor who have the greatest as well as
the most immediate concern in the preserva
tion of a good currency.”
Let these facts be pondered on, and then let
the warning page of History be opened and
show what heretofore has been the course of
those who have “ the people always on their
lips, but never in their hearts.” It is an awful,
a bloody, but an instructive lesson, drawn from
a disastrous epoch of the French Revolution.
The rallying cry then, too, was—the “ Poor
MUST FICHT AGAINST THE RlCH.” The result Was
this—(we quote from a most excellent speech,
delivered before the Legislature of Massachu
setts by Mr. Cushing):—
“Robespierre, and his fanatical, unprincipled
associates, destroyed the generous and noble
spirited party of the Gironde, and brought up
on the country the fearful crisis of the Reign of
Terror, by the very method which I have "been
reprobating and denouncing to the House. And
what was the consequence? Who were the vic
tims of the system? Sir, never in the annals of
all time was there a more signal visitation of
justice upon the heads of bad men in vengeance
of monstrous crimes. They perished, misera
bly perished, almost to a man, in the crash and
wreck of the social system. Suicide and the
scaffold did the work of death sternly and tho
roughly upon one faction after another, as they
successively gained the direction of affairs.
Their great engine of power was to arouse the
prejudices of the poor against the rich; little
dreamed the poor thus deluded to destruction,
that on them would fall the great agony of the
times. First, the population of the cities, being
stripped of the means of subsistence by the pro
scription of capitalists and capital, were deci
mated by famine and disease. Next, the agri
cultural population was compelled by force, not
only to sustain the public armies, but to provide
food to be dealt out in gratuitous rations to the
inhabitants of the cities. Meanwhile, massacre
was lord of the ascendftnt. Men and women ;
were mowed down in the streets with grape
shot, or drowned in the rivers, or otherwise cut j
off by wholesale in the civil convulsions of the !.
times, to the number of more than a million of
human beings. Whole provinces were lain ut
:erly waste with fire and sword. In Paris, a
'eservoir was constructed for the special pur
pose of carrying off the blood of State crimi
nals beheaded in the Place de Revolution. And
vho, think you, were these unhappy victims? .
>Verethey oppressive nobles? Rich aristocrats? i
)h, no. They were the farmers, the mechanics,!
he laborers—in a word, ihe working-men of:
own and country. Thus, of 18,604 individuals j 1
xecuted in Paris by order of the Revolutiona- <
y Tribunals, 1-5,070 were from the ranks of the j f
common people, including 1467 wives nr i
ers and artizans. This appalling
