IMPRESSIONS OF EUROPE.
Nt'-IBER TW KNrV.-BY N. P- WILLIS.
Mv rimm-inate called ■ dny or two* since
on Gen. Bertrand, and yesterday he returned
itu- visit, and spent an hour at onr lodgings.—
r;„ miked of Napoleon with difficulty, and be-
c.imo very much offerted when tny friund
uiiicle some enquiries about the safety of the
body hi St. Helena. The inquiry was sug-
gtsied by noble notice we had seen in the pa
pers of an attempt to rob the tomb of Waslt-
ing'ori. The general said that the vault was
fifteen feet deep, and covered by a slab that
could not lie moi’ed without machinery. The
mntd of the venerable old man is evidently
giving way. f Jo has shown this often of late
in ihe ( lumber of Deputies, of which he is a
number. He told us that Madame I! or (rand
had many mementos of Ihe emperor, which
she would be happv to show us, and wo prom
ised to \ isit.
At a party, a night or two sinre, I fell into
corn er* ilion with an English lady, who had
I,v< il several years in Dublin, und was an in-
finale friend of lady Morgan. She was
ae. ei|c.,intnonly fine woman, both in appear
ance hi d conversational powers, and told me
litany anecdotes of the authoress, defending
her from all the charges usually made against
tier, except that of vanity, which slto allow'd.
I received, on the »v!mle, the impression that
l.ntly M-.s gondre*s ofltenrl nns more than an
11PJ*. t tA her rerlainly very innnronf weakness.
My companion was much amused nf an Amer
ican's asking oiler the “fender in Kildnro
Street; ’ though she half withdrew her cordial
ity when I told her I knew the countryman of
nin e who wrote the account of Lady Morgnn,
ufwhich she complains so bitterly in thn
“ Honk ol Boudoir.’’ It was tins lady with
win in the fair authoress “ dined in the Chaus•
sc d'. Jii/rn,’’ so much tu Iter satisfaction.
Wink- we were conversing, the lady’s liits-
hacd came up, and finding I was an Ameri
can. made some enquiries nlmut ihe progress
of pherno/ogy on the other side of the water.
I,ike most enthusiasts in (lie science, his own
head was n remarkably beautiful one; nnd I
•non found that he was thn Imsotn' friend of
l)r. Spurzheim, to whom he bfTercd to intro-
din-n me. We made an engngnmont for the
next day. and the parly separated.
Mv new acquaintance called on mo tho next
morning, arcording to appointment, nnd we
went together to Dr. Spurzhetm’s residence.
Tim passage at the entrance tvas l*nrd with
cases, in whirh aloud pluister casts of the
heads of distinguished mm., orators, pools,
musicians; each class on its particular shelf,
■nnknig altogether a most ghastly company.
The d e-'or received my companion with great
cordial tv, addressing Imn in French and clinti-
gjiiu .,i very g.md German-English, when ho
made nnv observation to me. Ho is a lull,
large-honed man, and resembles Harding thn
American nrtist, very strikingly. Jits head is
Hindi marked, his features are bold, with ra
ther i German look ; and Ins voire is particu
larly winning, and changes in modulations in
argument from tile deup, earnest tone of a
man, to an nlmnst child-) kc softness. The
com. rsntiuti soon turned upon America, nnd
!!u- doctor expressed, in nnent terms, his de
sire in visit the United Stales, nnd said he had
tlmunhi of accomplishing it the coining sum
mer He spoke of Dr. Clmnnuig, said he had
read all his works with avidity end delight,
end considered his one uf Ihe timsl oxpans vu
l. inds ol the age. If Dr. Ch inning Itml not
sir g developments of the oigans ol ideality
nisi benevolence, lie said, he should doubt his
thorny more than he had ever found reason to.
lie knew Webster nnd Professor Stllimnn,
by reputation; nnd sonmed In bo finniliar with
nor country, as few m6n in Europe ore., One
tia'cndly, on meeting n distinguished phrennl-
i gwt, washes to have his own developments
; renounced upon; but I had been warned by
mv friend, that Dr. Spurzheim refused such
i xainmalions ns n general principle, not wish
ing In deceive people, and unwilling to run
the risk of offending them. After n half-hour’s
i-mivi-rsalion, however, he canto across Ihe
Vnunt, and putting his hands undor my thick
ui.isso- of hair, felt my head closely a I over,
and mentioned at onre n quality, which, right
or wrong, has given n tendency to all my pur
suits in life. As he knew ubsoluielv, nothing
•>f me, nnd the gentleman who introduced mo
know no more, I was n little startled. Thn Dr.
tin-n requested me tu go through the opera
tion of having ft east taken nf my head,an offer
whirh was mo kind and rariieuinr to bo decli
ned ; and, appointing an hour to be at his
rooms the following day, we left him.
1 was there again at twelve the next mor
ning after, and found De Potter Ihe Belgian
yatHoi, and Dr. Bowring, with the phrenolo
gist, xvaiting to undergo the same operation.
1 lie preparations looked very formidable. A
frame of the length nf the human body, lay in
the middle of the room, with a wooden bowl
t" receive the head, a mattress, nnd a long
«h.b dress to prevent stain to the clothes—•
As I wna the youngest, I took my turn first.—
It was very like ii preparation for being be
headed. My neck was hared, my hair cut,
and the lung white dreaa pul on. The back
of the head is taken first; and I was only im
mersed up to the care in the liquid pluister,
•his was not very alarming. The second pari
however, demanded more patience. My head
was put once more into the stiffened mould
of the first half, and as soon ns I could get
my features composed I was ordered lo shut
my -yes; my hair wna oiled-and laid smooth,
and the liquid plainer poured over my mouth,
ayes, and forehead, till I was cased complete-
in stiffening mask. The imperial woe then
poured on thickly, till the mask was two or
three inches thick, and the voices of those
■landing over me were scarcely audible. 1
breathed prelly freely through ti,c two small
orifices at my nose ; hut the dangerous experi-
menfof Mademoiselle Snntag. who was near
ly smothered in the sum operation, conic
•croaa my mind rather virktiy; and it
tome that the doctor handled the plaister,
quite too ungingerly, when he came to mould
about my nostrils. After a half hour's im
prisonment, the plaister became sufficiently
hardened, and the thread which was laid upon
mv face was drawn through dividing the mask
into two parts. It was then gradually retiiov.
ed.pulliogverytenaciously upon my eye-lashes
and eyo-hrows, and leaving all the cavities of
my face filled with practicles of lime. The
process is a tribute lo vanity, which one would
not bo willing to pay very often.
I looked on at Dr. Bowring’s incarceration
with no great feeling of relief. It is rather
worse to seo than to experience, 1 think.—
The poet is a nervous man ; und as long as
the muscles of his fare were visible, his lips,
eyelids, and mouth wero quivering so violent
that I scarcely believed it would bo possible
to get an impression of (hem. He has a
beautiful faco for a scholar—clear, well-cul,
finished features, expressive of great purity of
thought; nnd a forehead nf noble amplitude,
white nnd polished aa marble. His hair is
black nnd eutling, (indicating, in most cases,
Dr. Spurzheim remarked, activity of mind,)
and forms a classical relief to his handsome,
temples. Altogether his head would look
well in n picture—though his ordinary nod
ungraceful dress, and quick, bustling manner,
rather destroy the effect of it in society.
Do Potter is one of Ihe noblest looking men
I over saw. He is quite Laid, with a broad,
ample majestic head, the very model of digni
ty nnd intellect. Dr. Spurzheim considers
his head one of tho most extraordinary lie has
mol. Firmness is the great development of
it* organs. Histone and manner are culm
and very impressive, and his looks made for
great occasions—a man stamped with thn su
periority which others acknowledge when
circumstances demand il. He employs him
self in literary pursuits at Paris, nnd lias just
published a pamphlet on “ the manner of con
ducting n revolution, so- that no after-revolu
tion shall ho necessary.” I have translated
the title awkwardly, hut that is thn suhjact.
I have had several long conversations with
Dr. Spurzheim about America, and have at
Inst obtninod his posilivo assurance that he
would visit il. Ilegavo mo permission this
morning to say, (what I am surn all lovers of
knowledge will ho pleased lo hear,) that he
should sail for New York in the course of the
ensuing summer, and pasB a year nr moro in
lecturing nnd travelling in the United Slates.
S o is a mao to obtain the immediate confi-
nee and respect of n people hko ours, of the
highest moral worth, and the most enudid and
open mind. I hope my dear M. aid F. that
you will make our paper a vehicle for any in
formation he muy wish to convey lo the pub
lic ; and flint you nud all our friends will re
ceive him with the warmth and respect duo
lo his reputul'un and worth. If ho arrive in
August, ns hu nnlicipntes, ho proposes to pass
a month or so nl Now Haven, and then to
proceed to Boston, to commence his tour in
tho North.
P. S. — As I shall leave Paris shortly, you
mav expect hut one or two letters tnoro from
this metropolis, i shall, however, as I extend
my irnvels, find a grealcr variety of materials
for mv future communications.

of Congre** from South Cirolina, delivered a apecch
strongly advocating the Tariff ayateni, of which the
following ia an extract: ,

cherished with so much care and tendered*, is now
made the apology—the scape-gnat—of his unhallowed
views, which aim at the deatmetion of the beautiful fa.
brie of pur federal, union l Charming consistency—
unheard of patriotism'}
England mi Reform.—It will be observed by a ret'
erehce to our foreign head this week, that Ihe second
scene of the great drama nowin rehcarnl on the po
litical boards of Great Britain, has been brought to a
successful and glorious termination. The Reform Bill
has, through the firmness of Earl Grey, and the un
bending integrity of the people of England, been pas
sed, u ithdut alteration or amendment, triumphantly
through the commillec of the whole in the House of
Lords, mtu^re the’writhing* and contortions of the
high Tory .majority of that body. They have been
compelled to bow before the sovereign people, and lo
yield that to them through necessity, which was denied
from a want of patriotism and liberality.
Tho success of Ihe Cslholic Bill s tew years since,
we may consider as the first act of the great drama—
the Reform Bill conies next, gathering splendor, and
deep nod overpow ering interest,as it advances. That
achieved, ive look next for tire denouement—the pros,
trsiion of the hereditary peerage and the overthrow of
the church hierachy. The flood of innovation is fast
and irresistibly rolling in, and «ll lire power and the
wealth of the nrisiocrncy w ill prove hot feeble barriers
to its overwhelming influence. They resist, however,
manfully, and with Wellington at iheir head, retreat in
good order from post lo post, and seem determined to
dispute and to die in the Insl ditch.
The transactions of Ihe Inst few months in England,
form n new and interesting era in the history oftliat old
and renowned land. The king is seen driven by pub
lic opinion into tho support of a hill, and pledging him-
selflo ils sucres', directly ngninst the will of his “ no
ble Peers!” We find his primp minister, Earl Grey,
driven to the necessity of demanding of tils royal mas
ter power to coerce the House of Lords, and lo force
the bill through. Between tho threats of the aristoc
racy tlmt surround Ins throne, and the clamors of the
people who demand their rights at his hands, the mon-
urclr wavers, and at length throws himself blindly on
Ihe support end prott ttion nf his ancient friends, the
high tory aristocracy—lie is deserted by the whigs, and
the whole nation isthrown into anarchy and confusion!
—Lord Wellington ia commissioned to form a new ad
ministration-backed by the House of Peers, and en
sconced in his own grunt military renown and popular*
ity, lie sets about fulfilling the commands of his sove
reign, and attempts to form a ministry against the in
terests and the will nf tlm people, and what do wc be
hold? Tho conqueror of Napoleon - the hero of Wa
terloo—the proud soldier and the unbending aristocrat,
driven to the mortifying necessity of acknowledging
himself powerless and unable lo fulfil the wisliea of his
august master! Earl Grey is restored, with full pow
er to carry the Reform Bill, and the people of England
triumph over the throne and their oppressor*—the aris
tocracy of England.
*g»>
The Tariff and Dank DiUs.—The Tariff Bill, with
amendments, lias passed the Senate, anil been sent buck
to the House for concurrence. The amendments are
all on the side of protection, which renders the bill
iiiikIi more objectionable to the South than was the
original. Il seeins to be very uncertain whether or
not the (lease will concur, in which event Congress
will most probably rise without having accomplished
uny thing on this momentous subject.
Thu Bnnk Bill, as wo learn from the last Waahingtnn
Globe, has received the VF.TO of tire President! We
have not yet examined his reusons fully, as set forth in
(lie Globe, but understand from those who have, that
they arn luiimtr d on the grounds both of its unronsti-
liitionality nnd mexpedieney. Its has llins fulfilled
the expectations of his friends, and added another bril
liant plums to the chaplet of glory that encircles his
head.
„ -<3£>-
Tliefollowing remaikswe extract from n speech de
livered by Judge Reid ut Augusta. The Judge having
received an appointing it in Florida from the President
of the United Stall's, has left his native state; and nn
his departure bequeathed to his fellow citizens the fol
lowing good and wholesome advice, nn subjccta deeply
interesting to every Georgian—we hope it will be retd
and duly appreciated by rliem.
“ But it is not my purpose tu mar the gene
rous conviviality nf this meeting, by a further
consideration of these ungracious subjects;
permit me to dwell for a moment, upon Rome
of Ihe benefits likely to result front a meeting
of tho people of Georgia, through Iheir Repre
sentatives, in tlte cnntcmplnltid Convention.—
1 say nothing of the great cause of Reduction
nnd Reform, winch will nn doubt first occupy
the attention nf what will .certainly he a most
dignified and enlightened.assembly; there are
other objects which will yrnss forward to claim
their earnest regard, itnd among them I would
mention as one ol chief interest—the present
condition of the Judiciary of Georgia. We
have eight Judicial Circuits—we have eight
Judges—who, in talont, integrity and zeal,
may not shrink IVom a comparison with the
ablost Judicial officers of the other states of
tho union, nnd yet, with all tho efforts of those
honest and gifted men, well to administer the
laws and make them uniform throughout Ihe
Stale—there is—correctly speaking—no Law
in Georgia! Believe me it is far from me,
lo asperse the institutions of a Slate to whieh
I owe u debt of gratitude never to bo rancel-
led—but however salutary our Legislative en
actments, however excellent the code that
purports to secure liberty and right—that can
not be called with propriety, the law of the
land, which is the subject of a different applica
tion and construction in the several Judicial
Circuits into which the State is divided. In
hia own appropriate sphere each Judge is su
preme; he holds in his hands the issues of life
and death, and properly and liberty depend
upon his will; tho term of service ia limited
to each, and the .consequence is, that thn de
cisions of one Circuit are not the decisions of
another—nay—the law of to day ia not the
law nf to-morrow in Ihe same Judicial Circuit I
What was the law as pronounced by our I VaL
Ions, Montgomerys, llerriens, Earlys and
'IValkers, has not been the law of their succes
sors—even while 1 am speaking, the rule of
the northern portion of the State ia not the
tula of the (Southern—the rule of the We»t is
in opposition io that of the East. A man may
be convicted of crime in the county of Chat
ham, when under like circumstance* he would
escape with impunity in Richmond;—a citizen
of Richmond may be coerced to empty his
purse and lo yield his possessions, in obedi
ence to judgment* against him,when with like
claims against others, judgments might not be
ronderd in hitfaoour, in Baldwin or Muscogee-
Why is it, that the people ofGeorgia—of Geor
gia the most democratic Slate in tho Union
—have submitted so long to a system as op
pressive as it is despoticl-Unirormity and cer
tainty enter into all definitions of municipal law
—and surely that is no rule of general con
duct which is ever fluctuating and changing, in
its application to particular cases, with a more
than weathercock versatility. It is certainly
trub that in other States there are Circuit
Courts and contradictory decisions; but then,
there are higher and paramount tribunals by
which erroneous, jarring and conflicting judg
ments are corrected, reconciled and made uni
form. By following their good example, and
establishing A Court of Appeals, our lawq will
no longer he, like those of Caligula, out of
reach of the people nnd even of Ihe profession
al advocate. Let tho Convention give uh a
Court of Appeals, and the life, liberty and pro
perty of Ihe Georgian will he secured by a pre
scription, equally certain, uniform and safe.—
The lawyer will then, no longer be obliged to
confess that the proceedings of our halls of
justice savor of the chances of a lottery—he
will no longer say to his client—“ Your case
depends upon the breath nf (ho presiding
Judge, and hangs upon his iips!”—but turn
ing to written decisions and to volumes of re
ports—ho will be able to pronounce with
clearness what the law is. Let Georgia be
possessed of that invaluable treasure—an Ap
pellate tribunal of last resort—and the law
shall reign triumphantly, in uniform and sim
ple majesty, from the Gold Region to the At
lantic border—from the Savannah to the con
fines of Florida!”

REPORT
Of the board of ihe Jackson county Anti-In
temperance Society, received and read at its
Anniversary meeting at Jefferson, on the 4th
of July, 1832.
It being u duly assigned to your board of
managers, to place before you at your annual
meetings a report, embracing the progress
your society may have marie the year past,
and the benefits its influence may have effec
ted on the community with which it stands
immediately connected; tho following is re
spectfully submitted, with an expression of re
grot, that we have it not in our power to pre
sent you with a detail more flattering, and re
sults more accordant to our dosires : The ac
cession of members has been forty seven both
male and female, five have been expelled,
fourteen have removed, one withdrawn, total
number 132. Sixty-five males and sixty-se
ven females. Although the increase of mem
bers may not have fulfilled our anticipations
nnd wishes, yet it is believed, that Ihe princi
ple upon which the society is based, is advan
cing, und that very many persons conform to
its rules, who withhold their namos from ils
list, for reasons which they honestly believe
lobe substantial. If indeed the movements
of the society of late, have uppenred to be re
trograde, we are of the opinion tlmt it muy lie
greatly attributed to a luck of effort in its mem
bers. and especially the unaccountable remiss-
ness recently witnessed irtattendingyourstated
meetings; those meetings ought to be frequent
and the members should bn prompt in attend
ing them. It cannot be expected that when
members manifest so little interest in the pros
perity of the institution, B9 io absent them
selves from its assemblages, that others who
are lefcxnterested will be disposed to attend,
hence its principles are less understood, nnd
for want of a correct understanding of its de
signs, persons are more susceptible of being
improperly influenced by those xvho oppose
and misrepresent your benevolent motive*.
Sfrange as it may appear, it is nevertheless
true, that an attempt has recently been made,
to get up a counteracting socioty, that is, con
demning the total abstinence system, and/e-
cotninending and, encouraging the free but
temperate uso of strong drink, ns if every
drunkard was ant first found in Ihe tomperate
ranks. Charity would induce us tu suppose
a principle like this mYist proceed from want
of our attention to tho subject, and for lack of
sober and dispassionate investigation. VVe
are not prepared to say, that the number of
manufacturers or retailers have been curtailed,
yet wo must believe that tho consumption of
the article in our bounds is greatly diminish
ed, perhaps a market is found for the surplus
in the gold region und territory now settling
west of us. In conclusion, permit us earnest
ly to recommend to our fellow members to ex
ercise vigilnnco and energy in promoting the
interests of tho society, by disseminating all
the information you may have it in your pow-
ui to impart, and so far as you may be able, to
circulate tracts nnd periodicals wherein the
subject is held to public view; the case is an
urgent one, thousands of our fellow beings ore
annually drawn into the whirlpool of mtetnper-
anco, and but very few comparatively ofsuch,
ever return to the ranks of sobriety and use
fulness. A striking demonstration of this fact,
is exemplified in the history of this society ;
no fewer than eight drunkards liavo enrolled
iheir names on our list, and it is remarkable
that notwithstanding their solemn pledgo to
conform to its rules, they have to a man
apostatized. Thi* circumstnnco ia noticed
not with a view to discourago. but to exhibit to
view thexdaoger of holding any commerce with
the ensnaring und destructive onemy, and of
enforcing the maxim of the celebrated Dr.
Franklin, that an *• ounce of prevention, is
worth a pound of cure.”
There is no assurance of being safe we are
per-maded, only upou the principle of total ab
stinence. So long as there are temperate
drinkers, there will be a drunken posse, this
every man of common sense observation
knows. We invite then, dear fellow citizens,
your co-operation, that by our united effort
and example (with the blessing of heaven) we
may be able to expel from our highly favoured
country this bane of society, this scourge of
nations, ond deadly enemy uf the human race.
Resohed, That this society will meet at
Centre meeting house, on Saturday before the
first Sunday in October next. At Sandy
Creek, oo Saturday before the 4lh Sunday hr
January. At Cabin creek, on Saturday be
fore the fourth Sunday in April, and will hold
its annual meeting in Jefferson on the 4th July.
Resolved, That the foregoing report and-
resolution bo printed in the Southern Banner.
J. DAVIS, Secretary.
