IV'JR Swltrji'lMmNMji lor J »/y. Tin; uuki- I was educated, Mid |» French gentleman Whom 1 niel in quarantine, ol Fuiltnra, though Lurignan 19 my native town. Poiuera ta well kno vn time antiquary as having possessed n Roman amphitheatre, of wlnct, however, wl»*n i was at that univereity, only a vault, snnposod to have been a cage fur the wild liearta, remained. Thin cage, from the soli •twy i*t the masonry, ami the enormous me of the block.-', seemed tmleslrticlibc, but was not no; tor when 1 last visited Puttiers, ami asked tor the key of the cavern, I found it no lon ger existed, and that on the site had been instructed the inn ot the ‘Trait Pelerine.’ It is a stone’s throw from the Salled’Arnica, a place with which 1 had keen better acquain ted than with (lie schoo'a. To revive my an cient recollections. I entered the talk, anil found there an inhabitant of the town whom I had known at college, lie proposed that mc •bould dmc together at the ‘Trots Pelerins;' and. as or drinking at good a bottle of wine aa it afforded, he related to me what a few daya before, in the very room where we were aitung, had happened at n dinner of the colle gians. It was ordered for twelve; but, one of the party having invited a friend, the number •welled to thirteen. It ia said that superstition supplies the place of religion. 1 have observed this to be the caae with the most sceptical of my acquain tance; and thus this number thirteen occasion ed some remarks, and ilia at ranger was looked upon with no very favorable eye, and 4COII. ■ldered aa a supernumerary who brought with him ill luck. One of those; at length sum moned resolution enough to asy— “l do not dine thirteen." “Nor I.” said another. "Nor I,” was repealed 0.1 all sides. The guest, embarrassed at the rudeness, got up and was about to retire, when Alfonae, to whom he nmc as an umbra, proposed an ingenms expedient for doing away wiih the evil augury, and said, "There ta one way of annulling the proverb that threatens death j 1 the course of a year so one of a party of thirteen ; the way is, to decide which of us altall light a duel tins eve ning, or to-morrow morning.’’ “I)cne }• cried all the students at a breath. “Shill it be among ourselves 1" said one of litem. “No,” replied the author of the propnsi. tion,“for then two of us would have to tight whereas it ought to be the thirteenth.’’ “Rigid," said all the young men. “Then let it he with one ol the officers of tlic garrison.’’ “Bo it «n," said Alfonso; “we will make a pool asustnl, at the case, al! thirteen ol ns, and ’’ “The first out,’’ said a student. “No," tnlorruptod Alfuusc, “that would Ik a bid omen ; it sits I be the winner." “Agreed," replied all; and they sat down t» the table w.lb as much gaiety and insouci ance as if nothing had been said. The si ranger, just as the snup was being pul on the table,gut up, and with 11 magisterial tune of vo ce, addressed ihe assembly ; “Gen tlemen," said he, “1 feel suddenly inspired with a Miblinie idea. We are about to eat and drink m the ruins ol Roman greatness, (alluding to the ampluilieatrc.) Let us mu tate that pontile m every ihtug that is great. Nothing could be mure splendid than the games of the gladiators which we c celobrul cd over the tombs ol the mighty dead—noth, mg more sumptuous than the festivals hold nt their funerals.

The windows were opened. As soon us theauiip was Served, smash went all the plates 111 the yird, and shivered against the pavement. — 80, during the rest ol dinner, every plate, us last as ll was cleared—every b it tie us soon as emptied, followed its fellow. One might perceive by the practiced dexterity ofibis feat, that it was nut the lint time they had play ed the same game. During the first course, nothing particular occurred to disturb their harmony; but it so liappcml that the roti, which is. as you know, 111 France always last, was burnt. Then there arose a general burst of indignation. "Scud tin* cook!” exclaimed they all to the waiters. “Order up I lie cool;! Hero, conk! cook!” was the universal cry; bat the chef was not furthcoming. Alfonse, the president,then said, "must I go myself and fetch him!" This menace hud its effect; the paurre chef, pale as death, ami with coilon cap in baud, crawled into tho room. Ho was greet ed Willi deafening shouts. “Come here!" said Alfonse. “Do yon lake ua for the officers! What do you moan by serving us in this manner, oh!" Tho man of the spit stammered out an spo. logy. Alfonse looked al him uskaucc. •If I served you riglu," said he, • I should made you {eat this detestable roll of yours; but us it is the first tuno of liuppe ting, my ch'.btising shall boa paternal otto. Hold your cotton cap. Tho chef obeyed, and Alfonso turned out of • dish imo it an enormous domed cream, (nnukt souffle.,) and said—“ Come, now, on wait the cap, and sec you d >n't first spill a drop.” Ho was forced tncomply. and the unhappy tuU’s, his laca and white jacket si reaming with toe contents of tho plat, was followed out ol the room with hisses and bursts of laughter. Thus went 011 the dinner with its concert ot broken plates, dishes, glasses and buttles accompanied by noises of all Boris, which rose to fortissimo as the wine,of which they drank to excess, got into their heads. Tho desert, which succeeded the second course,was ended by what lh'<v called a salad. Th:s s did was tbits mixed: They turned up tho fuur corners of tho table cloth, and rolled therein all tho fragments that were left. At this juncture the w alters disappeared, conjec turing shrewdly that, if they staid any longer, the toast might bo too grand tor them. In short, when all that remained ol the desert was bundled well up, tbe collegians got on the table, and,at the risk of cutting their feet with tho fragments of the crockery and the split), tors of Hie glass, danced thereon, till eviry thing was pounded, smashed and broken.— Then the table cloth, w.th all it cmtlaiuo I, (the salad, j was thrown out of the window; after it lire table, then the chairs, then the lest of the furniture, and, when there w«s nothing more to destroy, the frenz cd you 1 hs ti ought they could do 110 belter than throw themselves out; and all the thirteen ‘followed the leader.’ A House, and jumped from the fiisl floor into the court.

They bad all more I or lesa formed u stirewd gin'M of what waste i happen, and, lor tbe honor of the service, ' warned the quarrel to break out. : In our schools and garrisons at Paris, we 1 arc totally unacquainted with tbe esprit <h, i corps which engages a whole reg inent, ami - an entire body ot young men, in 0 duel, wiion f two are only concerned; nor can we formally r notion bow slight a thing a duel is consider' cd, when it is the custom to decide all ques. 1 tious sword m hand.

The pool was begun. Never did a parly, when a large sum of money depended on tin issue of the game, play with mure care ami , caution than those thirteen, to decide which , of them was to light, lly degrees the players 1 lost Ihmr chances, and the number was ot Inst 5 reduced to two; those two were the stranger guest and Alfonse. The lookers-on watched 1 anxiously every stroke, Those balls, that, as r they rolled, carried with them the fate of n > man, were followed w.lh earnest looks. The . officers came nearer and nearer, ami ran.cd themselves round the billiard. They were , nut n little interested to know whether they I or rather one of them—which they knew not —was to cuter the lists with n licshman, mi . doubt unpractised in fencing, or with the most . adroit mid terrible duellist ol the university The chuii.es were against them. Thu stran ger lost. r A singular excitement was occasioned by the disappearance of the lust ball in the pock et. Some (aces grew pale, but no one stirred from the spot where he had been standing ns a spec'at or. Alfinise looked sleadily around him, and made two or three times the circuit of the room, as though he were in card), but in vain, of SQUIC Otic tvorlli quatff’ffiug with At lasi ho perceived a sort of sub-lieutenant, drunnnsjor and nmitro d'arrncs, and who hors led of having killed his thirty peqilins, sitting quietly in a corner. Alfonse walked straight up to him, mid, saluting him with a politeness tint electrified the company, said, in his cool way, ".Uonaietir, 1 am exceedingly distressed at the situation in which I find myself placed ; but my honor is concerned, and you will allow mu to engage yours." Without luither preliminaries, ho gave him 11 severe hit in the lace. The officer, who litlld expected so abrubt mid oitauswurablu n mode of provocation, sprang like a madman from his chair; mid had not Allonse, with toe activity and nimble noas of a cal, leaped with one bound upon the table, the ex drunmiajor would probably have a Tingled Unit 011 the spot. He was quickly at the aggressor's heels, when h s own comrades slopped him of their own accord, saying, "Come, come ! no child's play or boxing ; tho thing is too serious.’ Cost un combat a la morl!” “Where alia 1 1 find you to morrow'" said one of the officers, addressing Alfonse. “Fix your ground,” was the reply. “No t omorrow!” said the officer who had received the blow; "this mslanl!” •‘ I’iiis instant bo it, il you please,” replied Alfonse with the utmost iiidilTcroucc, “I shall not sleep tonight tint.l that blow is avenged!” said the other, foaming with range. “1, too, wait to umtuinb my hand. J have hurt my knuckles against your cheek-bones,” said Alfonso. “Whore would they fightal such a time of night as this? ’ observed some ol the officers. “In the garden behind the case.” entd the ancient maiire d’armos; “a sword in one hand, mnl 11 billiard lump in the other.” “But," said Allonse, “1 am tried. 1 know your style ol light mg men, Crane; you wmn to make me break ground, and drive me step by step round the garden. Don't think it, my lad. Besides the lamp may go out. But, il you have no objections, the billiard table will boa good arena. We shall be well lighted, ami there will be no means ol drawing back a fool." “Bo ilso," said the other. The doors were closed, mid they laid hand on the waiters and (he proprietor of the case, who wore going to the pome. The swords were then brought. Thu two adversaries cast lots for them, ami ihon pulled oft' their coals and waiscoats, and unbuttoned their shirts to show that there was nothing under. Both then look their swords. The officer \vi upped round Ins hand a hand kerchief, leaving both ends dangling. Al fonse neglected tins practice, the object ot which was to distract the attention of the ad , vorsary by the perpetual flutter of their two 1 j while points, thus to turn away Ins attention I from the sword. But Allonse had a manner if fighting ol In* own,mid cured little for these . petty proceedings. Ho never looked at the stow; but, fixing bis eye on tint of Ins ontagu niet, anticipated every inoli.m that he made. The two wrestlers, or gladiators I might say, got on the table together, and according to I the I this or conditions agreed on between the . students and the officers, rested their swords , un the toes ol their boots. A traveller from I a commercial house who happened lobe pro sent, and could have no interest in the scene . other Ilian what its novelty excited, was fixed ,; on to clap hi* bands throe times, and at Hie , third the swords were upraised 111 the air, and , j the two combatants came to guard. , I A terrible sdenee reigned throughout the , ] room, unit lor some seconds it we* only broken . i hy the clashing of the steel; tor both parlies, yI as they skirmished,were well aware that asm . gle/atir pas was death.

Major Benjamin W. Edwards, candidate for Govnor, of Mississippi, died on the 18th nit. at his plantation in Holmes county, aged 43, We have read with much gratification, tho lengthy and able reply of Uapt. Jas. A. Meri wether lo Gov. Schley, in reference lo the refusal us the latter to pay fur articles of clothing, pur- I chased by the former, upon his authority, for tho ’ volunteers going to Florida, and for which ho refuses to pay, even after an act of the Legislature . hud directed him lo do so. The Union prints at , Mdlcdgovillo made a great cry about extravagance in the purchase of those articles, ullcdging that cheese, crackers, beef longues, hyson tea, cham paigns wine, Ac., had been purchased, and that ,( the Governor bad properly refused to pay for I- them. Cnpt. Meriwether, after adducing tho 0 strongest ptoof of his aulhotily to purchase what |' r he did, puls an everlasting extinguisher upon tho c charge of extravagance, by utterly denying that e any such things wore bought by him and charged )• to the Stale. Read the following extracts (rom ! his address, the whole of which is 100 long for 'J insertion in our paper. c “‘Much has been said of the purchase of ovor is coals al #26 —boots, #lo—pantaloons at #lB II champaign wine.at #36 tho box—smoked longues, ' pickled bud, bologna sausages, hyson tea, eastern, ,1 and many other such articles; and the attempt e made lo connect wc with these purchases, I now il say lo all those who seek, either directly ot indi rectly, by allegation, imputation, inuendo, or in ' uttv other way, to connect we with such pureba . vcs. that such charge, presented in what way it i- may be, is willfully and wickedly false. 1 pur- I. chased not one of the articles of tbe character or o quality spoken us. I puicltascd neither wine, cheese, beef, sausage*, castors, tea, or any thing d ~f like character to those alleged lo have been - t purchased. And I threw the challenge to any r . and lo evci v man, lo prove lo the reverse of mv d statements. I purchased no overcoats at #25 11 oor at half that | rice. I purchased no pantaloons '* at # 16 —nor at one fourth ol that price—nor boots , e at any price. I purchased overcoats which coal C, n|H)ii the average, about the same or lets than r- those for which Gov. Schley paid in Mtlledgc o villc. I purchased seven overcoats at #l2 each; three at #lO each; two al #1 ,50 each; one at #9,50; . and ten at #9; four pair pantaloons, at #3,50 ~| each; two jackets at #4,25 each; three caps at J, #4,40 each; thirteen blankets at 87J cents less *1 than those purchased in Mtllodgcville; six frying J 1 jiaiis; two tin buckets; two tin pans; one camp 'j kittle; one coflee pot; one oven, and three bottles h of oil for the guns; all at the same price* as those d lK>ught in MillcdgeviUe, closed my purchases in 10 Macon, except seventy gun slingt. For every ar is ude of which Gov. Schley refused j»«y incut. 1 1 "flov. Brbley prescribed lo me no li m 't •* *° • jifi * or quantity. I limited my purchases to 5 js(9 for overcoat* •« the maximum, anil nothing > j beyond it. And when one of my men could find 1 ! but nne coat in the place which would fit him, i i and that waa priced sl7. I refused U> charge it jlo the Slate at that prlce ( lieeauae it exceed the • I limit I had fixed. It was charged at sl2—and . the ballatice paid from my own pocket.” r "He hue stated in hie letter to me, that he au ■ Ihorizcd the puichase at Macon, of provision, J- camp equipage, Ax. dec., yet notwithstanding . auch authority, thus admitted to have been given ■ by him, when my accounts for articles thus au thorized are patented, be refuses lo pay for them. The Legislature then at its last session, inter fered for the relief of the officers ami soldiers, and . I passed a law requiring the Governor to pay these 1 accounts. Thia he most positively refuses to do. t And what is his excuse for this wanton disregard ■ of an Ifflperitivc law? He professes to he at a • lost to understand its plain language. He says, ! “In the construction of the word clothing In this . section, the Governor was obliged to refer lo the l one which precedes it, in which it is defined lo • be the wearing apparel of the soldiers.” This mere excuse is, il any thing can be more disin . genioua, than his intimations of my extravagant ' purchases of cheese, &c., utterly unworthy of the source of its emanation. What is the object of thia preceding section? Il provides payment for “properly lost in battle, or in the immediate pur suit of the Indians, or while employed in actual service,’ and limits its provisions to the loss of “wearing apparel of the soldies,’ &c. Now the section providing for the payment of ‘clothing,’ look* to another and different object It is full and expressive of itself, and contains within itself the ample means of Us own interpretation. Il is distinct, and altogether separate in its objects and its provisions, and contains nothing whatever of reference lo the other section. It provides, that, ‘His Excellency, the Governor, be and he is hereby required to pay all accounts for cloth ing, &c., contracted by the commanding offi cer of any company, &c, either in the Creek or Seminole campaign, or in the Cherokee coun tics of this State, provided his Excellency shall be satisfied they were purchased in good faith,' What ambiguity docs there attach lo this word clothing! Ask the children of the streets, and they will tell you that "clothing’’ means some thing to dress with, garments. Then if this some thing to dress with,these garments,were purchased, il is to bo paid for under the provisions of the law’ The Legislature very properly did not specify the quality of the clothing, because from the promised ous manner in which it were obtained, but few articles could be found of the same quality. Wc had none of the advant"g,. s 0 l procuring clothing as in the I' idled States army. There it is pre pared at the same factory, and of the same quality. To have designated any particular qualities, would have defe .led the object of the law alto gethcr. The Legislature therefore protciibcd the most equitable rule possible. It provided, first, that the clothing should be paid for, if his Excel lency ‘should be staisfied it was purchased in good faith.’ What was lo bo understood by good faith. That it was purchased for necessary use, and not for speculation or idle waste.” “His Excellency says, that he was not opposed to the payment of the volunteers. His message shews that ho never once called the attention of the Legislature to the condition of tho troops in the Seminole campaign. That he was opposed to the passage of the act under consideration, I do know. That it was with much difficulty he was induced to sign it, I likewise know. And ,’fhis Excellency will submit the issue to a jury of twelve honest men, I will convict him of that hostility.—Nay, if he will deny, under his proper s ign,'»turc, I will prove it upon him.” Prom the Southern Recorder, THECAE PUT MIGHT—OR, TRUTH 18 MIGHTY and will prevail. The hue and u'V abou * Indian testimony was got up especially 10. effect in tho Cherokee cir cuit. And till this tun.’ wc have allowed our op ponents to make the most °f it. as we intended, after allowing them lo comm. * themselves, so far that there could be no backing ou ’ 1° t urn the whole force of their own dcclamau' on * against themselves, liy a plain exposition of the fitCts of tho case, about Which our opponents have bet'll blustering, profoundly ignorant of what they w«.' re about. Now lake the fact about Indian testimony. Da the people of the Cherokee country know, that while Indian testimony is not permitted against the citixelis of Other parts of the State, it is in fall force against them? If they do not, let them read tho law of 1829 now in force, and which Mr. Gilmer in 1830 recommended to bo re pealed, It ia in these words: "And be it enacted, That no Indian or descen dant of any Indian, residing within the Creek or Cherokee nation of Indians shall bo deemed a competent witness in any Court of this Stale to which a while person may boa party, kicipt SCCH WHITE PERSON RESIDES WI TUI N THE SAID nations." —‘Dawson's Compilation of tho Laws of Georgia,’ p. 199.—See likewise Foster’s Di gest. This is the law of 1827, so much spoken of. In 1830, (ieorgia extended her laws over the Cherokee Nation, and our citizens quickly peo pled it, ami thus all the citizens of tho Cherokee country, who of course “reside (in the words of the law) in said nation,” arc subject to have Indian testimony allowed against them, while by the same law, that testimony is not allowed against tho citizens of any other portion of the Slate. Now that is the law which Mr. Gilmer recom mended'to be repealed. Ho thought, as was very reasonable, that if tho testimony of Indiana wcic allowed against tho people of the Cherokee Cir cuit, il should lie made to operate alike upon the balance of tho State. Il would have been as illi beral as unjust, to have supposed that all the land stealers weto confined to that section of the State; but il seems that others don’t think so, for they seek lo defeat Mr. Gilmer on the express ground of his recommending the repeal of this partial and obnoxious law of 1829, and to pul the whole peo ple on an equality. What say you to this citizens of Cherokee? j We ask you not to taken our word alone for the j truth of our statement: rcfei to tho law itself ami I you will readily find it, and refer to Mr. Gilmer’s message, and you will find his recommendation i for its repeal. What say you lo this, citizens rs ; Cherokee! Ought Mr. Gilmer to be beaten by i your votes, for recommending the repeal of a law which iftide Indian testimony hear upon you ■ alone, while it freed the balance of Georgia from i it. Remember that by the law of 1829, which • Mr. Gilmer tried to repeal, you arc made subject ■, to Indian testimony, and that you arc by that , law subject to it, while the balanceofyour fellow citizens are not, and say, whether for this you • ought to vote against Mr. Gilmer. If you heal i him lor this, you beat him for endeavoring on his . part to do away an invidious and degrading dis . | lmotion, made by law against you, and for bis ’ effort to put you on an equality with the other ’ freemen of Georgia, Judge ye, read the law, and 1 make up your determination.

Mr. Wright,Chairman of the Committee of Fi -1 nance repotted to the Senate to-day, a bill provi. • ding for postponing the October instalment of the 1 surplus revenue, until the further action of the ’ House. The bill was read. Mr. Wright moved ' that it be read a second time to-morrow. ’ Mr. Calhoun expressed a hope that it would ! not be pressed at this time ; and not until the Committee had reported on the other and more important subjects submitted by tho President in his Message. He wished tile whole subjects ■ should be considered together. Mr. Webster, a member of the Committee, said he would not interpose any obstacle to the progress of the hill through customary stages ; 1 hut he took occasion to express his opposition • and the whole principles of the bill, and also to ■ the other measures which the Committee have in ' preparation. The bill was ordered to he read a second lime to-morrow. 1 A number of petitions wore presented, relating lo different sabjccls, ami were all laid on the ta bic without bring read or discussed—the general CO'iisc of the Senate being decidedly in favor of confining the attention of Congress to the special ohjecls for which they have been convened. Mr. Asbury Dickens was re-elected Secretary of the Senate, and Mr. Shin, after several ballot ing*,was chosen Chaplain. In the House the ptoceedings of to-day were full of interest. The resolution offered by Mr. Biddle on Thursday last, for calling on the Sec retary of the Treasury for information relative lo his authority for ordering the members of Con gress to be paid in specie, &nd whether the other public creditors arc paid in the same medium, and if not, what authority he had for making a dis crimination, was taken up for consideration ; and Mr. Biddle made a speech of great beauty deliv* crcd with great earnestness and emphasis of man ner. He condemned, in strong terms, the arbi trary discretion exercised by the Sectetary ; and ! dwelt with great force and vividness of illustration on the monstrous injustice of such a discrimina tion between the different classes of public debtors. 1 Mr. Robertson’s resolution (tho substance of r which 1 mentioned lo you on Saturday last) for extending the inquiry put to the Secretary, was also taken up and adopted by Mr. Biddle as an i amendment to his own. Mr. Hamer of Ohio, expressed his belief that ’ the Secretary of the Treasury would promptly return an answer to the call. , Mr. McKay ofN. C. started up with great ani r motion, and entered into an elaborate defence Os ° the Secretary. After some further remarks from f Mr. Halstead, the question was taken on the i adoption of the resolution as amended, and car b zied without a division. The House then resolved itself into a commit tee of the whole; and referred those parts of the messag,” w hich relate lo the finances of the coun. try to the of ways and means, and that - which related u’ a bankrupt law to the committee on tho judiciary. ,i’ bo report of the Secretary op the Tress jry was also re," rrc d> 1n appropriate divi sions, to the same two cornu’ 11 *’ 668, Mr. Smith of Maine, then p. °posed a rcsolu ( tion to postpone all business except ’hat winch . relates to the subject brought under vis.'- 1 ' in tho i President’s Message. This led to a spirited’ and 1 dissultory discussion, embracing many topics o' national and party politics; the result of which, ' ; however, was the adoption of tho resolution ■ The House then adjourned. It is impossible to give the particulars of litis j. important debate in time for the express mail to , day; bull will dwell upon them fully to-morrow. : Il appears very clear, from the course taken by • several leading administration members, that the committee of ways and means will not bring in a bill presenting tho simple proposition of the Sub- Treasury scheme set forth in the message; but ■ that the President’s plan will undergo considcra -1 hie modification. The parly dares not bring for- I ward the simple proposition of the Executive they know it never can receive the sanction of Congress; and I venture to say now they do not intend to bring il forward, notwithstanding all their talk.
