1t appears BY letters from Canton, as late as
the 9th of July, received at New York by way
of Mexico, that the trade with the British had
not been suspended, as was stated a few days ago
by vessel from ST. Helena. The following is
an extract from one Of these letters, copied from
the Mercantile Advertiser:
"CANToN, July 6.-There was little i'm.
provement at one moment in imports IN conse-
quence Of the difficulty between the Chinese au.
thorities and the Company-the latter threaten
ed to stop the whole English trade, aud issued
notices to that effect. but finding that the pro-
ceedings of the Chinese emanated from Pekin,
they have uifhdra,cn their notice, and referred
the affair to the Governor General Of India and
the English government at home. A vessel has
been despatched to the former, and they have
chartered another to go to England In the mean
time, however, the trade continues"

PROSPECT OF A GENERAL WAR

Prussia. II this report be true, a general
war between the great powers is inevitable

THOMAS BUNTING,
4. {. HOLMES.
II. &. HOLMES

Observer Office, Fayetteville, Sept II, 3 pm.
Two Of the gentlemen who went from
this place to Clinton on Monday night
have this moment returned, there being
no danger, though the existence Of the
plot is clearly established. We have
procured from one of them the following
statement, drawn up by himself yester-
day at Clinton. 1t is worthy of entire
, reliance.
On Sunday the 4th inst. the first in
formation OF the contemplated rising of
the Blacks, was sent from South Wash
ington. The disclosure was made by a
free mulatto man to Mr.. Usher, of Wash
ington, who sent the information to Mr..
Kelly of Duplin. 1t appears from the
mulatto'; testimony, that Dave, a slave
belonging to Mr.. Morissey Of Sampson,
applied TO him to join the conspirators
stated that the negroes in Sampson, Dup
lin, and New Hanover, were regularly
organized ard prepared to rise on the 4th
October.
Dave was taken up. and on his test
mony convicted.--Alter his conviction,
he made a confession of the above to his
master, and in addition gave the names
ofthe four principal ringleaders in SamD-
son and Dublin and several in Whining
ton, named several families that thew in.
tended TO murder. Their object was tc
march by two routes to Wilmington
there expecting to be reinforced by 1000
TO supply themselves with arms and am
munition, and then return. Three o
the ring!eaders in Duplin have been ia
ken, and Dave and Jim executed. There
are % negroes in Jail in Duplin county
all of them no doubt concerned in TIT
conspiracy. Several have been whipped
and some released. In Sampson % ar,
III Jail, all concerned directly or indi
rectly in the plot.
The excitement among the people il
Sampson IS very great, and increasing
they are taking efiectual measures to ar
rest all suspected persons. A very in
telIigent Negro Preacher named David
was put on his trial to-day and clearl,
convicted by the testimony of anothe
negro. The people were so much ezra
ged. that they scarcely could be prevent
ed from shooting him on his passag
from the Courthouse to the jail. All th,
confessions made induce the belief, tina
the conspirators were well organized, s
their plans well understood in Duplin
Sampson, Wayne, New Hanover, ant
( Leroir.
Nothing had transpired to raise ever
suspicion that they extended int
Cumberland OF Bladen, except that jim
confessed that Col. WrighPs negr,
| (who hasbeen missing since the discover,
OF the plot had gone to b. Wrights il
the neighborhood Of Fayetteville, to rails
a company to join the conspirators. Tn
rumours respecting large force havin,
been seen collected together, are unfoun
ded, through there seems no doubt bu
that small armed bands have been seen

ANOTHER RESURRECTION.

Raleigh, North Carolina, Sept. 10.
For the last twenty-four hours this ci-
ty has been in state of considerable ex-
element, in consequence of the recep.
ton of intelligence, from such source
as leaves 10 doubt of its truth, that the
slaves Of Duplin and Sampson counties,
in this State, have risen in rebellion a.
gainst the whites, and have committed
many horrid butcheries. Some accounts
include New Hanover and Bladen coun-
ties, also, but the probability as to these
is not so strong. We are, as yet, entire
ly i'll the dark as to the number of the
insurgents, the extent of their murders,
the names Of their victims, or their ulti.
mate destination. Our town, however,
has been put in state of complete de-
fence, for the purpose either of suppress
ing disturbances at home or meeting dan.
ger from abroad.
At a meeting of the citizens held al
the Courthouse on Tuesday afternoon,
a senior volunteer association was form
ed, composed altogether of individuals
exempted from military duty, the com
mand of which was assigned to Thos. G
Scott, esq. Other measures of defence
were also adopted, calculated to add &c
the security of our citizens.
An express having arrived from John
ston county, requesting a supply of am
munition, the commissioners of the CITY
had meeting and Immediately ordered
full supply of powder lead and flints,
to be despatched to Smithfeld, where il
is understood the militia Of the county
are embodied.
The most recent account states the
number of families murdered at Seoen-
teen We are in momentary expecta-
ton Of particulars. "-Register.

called in the evening to see Mr..
PettiS, but did not speak to him, He
was in great pain, and family groaned at
every breath. He did not speak. ex-
cept when requiring assistance,--and
when Gov. Clarke came in, he extended
10th his hands towards him without
sayinga word. The ball entered his
right side near the hollow fhis back. or
rather at the point where the elbow or
dinarily rests, and passing through his
body, came out on the other side, a lit
tie in front. / assisted in raising him
up once, when saw that his body linen
was completely drenched with blood
lie fingered in great agony until 9
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, when death
concluded the scene. Mr.. Biddle receiv-
ed the ball much in the same place ::
but it lodged in his body. At first the
surgeons thought il lay against the back
bone ;neighborhood of the left hip bone.
but have since supposed it to be in the
nelghborhood of the lett hip bone. His
wound is said to be a worse one than
Mr.. Pettis; tho having rather more
strength TO sustain him, there is a posi-
bilty Of his recovery.
attended Mr.. Pettis' funeral this af
ternoon--the largest procession, it is said,
ever seen in st. Louis.-His coffin, as is
the custom here, was covered close with
black velvet, nailed On at the edges with
brass nails. A broad friIl of black Grape
closely plated, and pincked at the bot

been covered in the same manner with
