 We copy from the New. York papers, some additional articles of foreign intel ligence. No authentic account is giy- en of the precise tenor of the Conyen- ton, with regard to Belgium and Hol- land, which has heen signed between Great-Britain and France. The jnnc- ton of their fleets were ominous for Holland, but no blow was yet struck, and 1t remains doubtful what course Prussia, Russia and Austria intend to take. There is no evidence that those Powers had acceded to the entrance of the French army into Belgium. The contrary is affirmed from Paris and Der lin. The conversion Of the Spanish court to liberalism is among the wonders of the day. Don Pedro's position was negative.
 The London Albion, of the lst No yember, gives the annexed postscript, dated r. NJ.
 We have this moment received intel iigeacc from all authoritative source, that Russia has withdrawn from the Conference. The orders have been given 10 the Russian fleet to be in readi- ness to sail for the Dutch waters at a moments notice, should the French and English forces proceed 10 execute de otpe force the terms of the late coaven- ton, and that similar orders have been sent to the army now assembled on the Prussian frontier. We have no time to state further particulars, but tomorrow we shall state more in detail the new circumstances which have arisen in the way of the settlement of the Belgian question. In the meantime, we may leave it to the public to judge what chance there is of the surrender of the citadel of Antwerp, by the 2d of No. yember, according to the imperious de mand of the French and English Go vernmcnt.

 Sonth Carolina claims that by the De- claration of Independence, she became and has ever since continued free, soye- reign and lndependen State.
 That as Sovereign State, she has the iaherent power, to do all those acts, which by the law of nations. any Prince or Po- tentate may ofright do. That like all in- dependent States, she neither has, nor ought she to suffer any other restraint up- on her sovereign will and pleasure, than those high moral obligations, under which all Princes and States are bound before God and man, to perform their solemn pledges. The inevitable conclusion from what has been said therefore is, that as in all cases of compact betw cen Independ eDt Sovereigns, where from the very nature of things there can be no common judge or umpire, each sovereign has right sto judge as well of infraetions, as of tine mode and measure of redress SD in the present controversy between Sonth Carolina and the Federal Government, it belongs sole ly to her. by her delegates in solemn Con- vention assembled. to decide whether tbe federal compact be violated, and what re- medy the State ought to pursne. South Carolina therefore cannot, and will not yield to any department of the Federal Government, right which enters into the essence of all sovereignty, and with ont which, it would become bauble and name.

 A serious affray occurred day or TWO ago, on the Delaware Falls Com. pany's works, about i miles above t!4is city. Itoriginatedin dispute between the laborers Oil two different sections of the water power. Mir. Morris, one of the contractors, in attempting to paeiiy the rioters, was knocked down aud se- yerely injured. Two or three shantles were demolished, and a man who took refuge under bed, was pursued and aI most cut to pieces by five or six others armed with spades and shoyels. The rioters, amounting to about forty in num- Der, all of them lrishmen, afterwards threatened to pull down several houses in the neighborhood. About I0o'cIoclz on Thursday night, our city police, as sisted by 10 or 50 citizens, who volan. teered their assistance, proceeded to the scene of action, and succeeded in cap turing b of the nuli;Fers. The others had the good luck to escape.

.tarrosuEscape e.-T ile KennebecJour. nal relates that Coy. Smith, of Maine, went lately, accompanied by his lady, in chaise, to visit the family of Capt. Mellen, at the state Arsenal. Whilst a person was opening the gate for them, the horse backed, ,and precipitated them over nearly perpendicular bank, if teen feet high. Mrs. Smith fell under the thills, and her life as saved by fall ing lengthwise into narrow ditch, just large enough to prevent the thills from bearing upon her. The Governor was also pinned down in the mud by the har- ness, one piece of which came across his neck, and if the horse had not lain very still till assistance came, the con sequence might have been fatal. As it was, they were only little bruised.
