from him, when he arrives in Eu rope. The male snake has just cast his skin —and the new one is most beautiful. The tail has a fine glossy black. He says, they renew their skins every two months ; three times in the year: perhaps front October to April they remain torpid, and this function is suspended. Most proba bly it varies in different snakes with the’quantity of food they can obtain. Mr. N. generally feeds his otice a week. They have also a rattle every year after the first.—They scarcely ever shake it but when they are strongly excited, or to strike the attention of their prey. He contends that the use of their rattles is to draw upon them selves the eyes of their victim, which generally consists of the fleetest ani mals, as birds, squirrels, &c. As soon as the eyes meet, he says the process of charming commences, lie believes in this faculty, for he has seen it ex emplified in a garden by his own •snakes; the victim will hop from bough to bough, and rock to rock, » overcome with apprehension, until approaching each other, the snake seizes him —He denies altogether, what some naturalists assert, the de leterious Qualities of their breath— for he has often kissed them, and in blowing their breath upon him, he has found it uncommonly sweet. M. N. has other snakes in his col lection —as a wampum snake, beau tifully streaked, and so called after the Indian ornament: it is a small species of the Boa Constrictor, which winds itself round its prey, and kills not by poison, but by stricture—it evfcn .. squeezes the rattle snake to death.— i He has also the common black snake | —and the lead-coloured American ■’ adder, of the description of the flat y heads. He has all these under the same command—exhibiting almost the same docility as the rattle snakes. The spectacle is not dangerous nor I even disgusting—and is well worthy , the attention of the curious. Richmond Enquirer. , Two negro folllows entered the ' store of Win. Lippitt& Co. on f the night of the 29th ult. for the pur t pose of robbing it. The manner in ■which the entrance was made, was Iby one of them hoisting the other on ■his shoulders, who thus opened the ■door in the second story, which was not locked, descended and admitted Hus companion. Information was ini- Hnediately given by a negro boy who ■jaw the transaction, td two peace offi ■cers, who proceeded to the spot, and ■caught the villains in the act of carry ing off several boxes of Spanish segars. ■They were on Thursday last tried ■before a Justice’s Court, found guilty, land sentenced to eight days imprison mnent, and to receive fifty lashes each, nit different times. One of the fel- Bows confessed that he had on a pre vious night committed a robbery at ■the same place; and it appeared that ■they had been induced to commit this |act by an individual who had pro used to purchase from them the uits of their villainy.—Several re ent attempts, we feel convinced, light be traced to the same cause— othing is more true than that if there 'ere no receivers, there would be no leives. A free man of color was at he same time found guilty of stabbing I negro slave with intent to kill. He sentenced to two months close iinement in jail, and to receive 75 es at three several times.

Washington, 30th August, 1822. Character cflhe Karpinas (, Arabs .) Th*are such consummate thieves and rogues, that according to an an cient tradition still current among them, they once tricked the devil himself. The story is as follows : The devil had acquired a right to their fields, on which they agreed with him, that when their crops were ripe, they should retain the upper part and the devil should have the lower : they sowed all their lands with wheat, and the devil of course had nothing but the straw for his share. Next year the old gentleman, fully determined not to be again so bamboozled, stipulated that the up per part should belong to him and the lower to the Karpians : but then they sowed all their grounds with beets, turnips, and other esculent roots, and so the devil got nothing but the green tops fur his portion. London Lit. Gaz. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1822. FOR TH K CH ROMCLE AND ADVERTISER. NUMBER 11. The usual objections to a Supreme Court, are the delay and expense which it is supposed would necessarily be at tendant ou suits before that tribunal. I do not mean to avoid or deny the force of these objections. Did they exist to the extent supposed, they would be weighty, and were au appellate tribunal any thing less than necessary, insupera ble, Where the value of the thing in controversy is consumed in the waste of time and money necessary to obtain it, it is equivalent to a denial of justice. Suits could only operate as punishments on the defendant for a wrong done, and not as compensation to the plaintiff. Men un der those circumstances would sue in the same spirit that men now prosecute of fenders, from revenge or public spirit; but not from the hope of obtaining com pensation or redress. In England now, particularly in Chancery, this is almost true to the letter. Unless the properly be very large, it is consumed in the ex penses of litigation, lu Courts oi com mon law it is not quite as bad, but suffi ciently so to accord well with .the whole spiritoflhe English Government. Chance and design have combin d to render that Government exclusively the property of the rich. The powers of Government are vested in the landed aristocracy, but as they cannot maintain their system witiiout the aid of the monied men, they are obliged to consult their interests like wise. To this I need not say our system is totally averse. Our Government is emphatically a government for ihe good of all the citizens, poor and rich. Ex pense and delay therefore in the add inis tratiou of justice arc to be avoided as much as the nature of the thing will al low. We have already cut off much from the expense, little from the delay of justice. Hew far would the estab lishment of a Supreme Court increases the delay and expense ? The business of a Supreme Court begins alter the tri al on the issue of fact has ended, it is to correct the errors of the Judge who tried the cause with regard to any point of law he may have decided. Suppose a Supreme Court to set twice in every year at Milledgevillc, which it may rea dily do. In three months after verdict, the cause will be heard and determined in the Court above. In this respect wc should be better off than we are now. The Superior Court has now the power of correcting its own errors. If a Judge determines a point of law incorrectly, a motion is made for a new trial on that ground. As the law requires twenty days notice to be given, this motion can not be determined at the same term. It must lay over for the next, and six months intervenes before it is determined. With regard to delay, therefore, our present system presents no advantages. With regard to additional expense, that must consist in the costs of Court or Lawyers’ fees. The costs of Court would be the cost of a copy of the record to send up, and a copy of the decision to send down. The costs of a copy are six and a quar ter cents per copy sheet; for a copy of a decision the same. With regard to nine out of ten of our records, five dollars would pay both. With regard to law yers’ fees, lawyers have now to be paid for arguing a motion for a new trial, un less some previous agreement be made. It would be the same whether the argu ment was had before the Supreme or Su perior Court. In that profession as in every other, it is competition keeps down the price of services, and not the tribu nal which is resorted to. The popular mode of stating the case is, that as it will - be a high Court, lawyers will get high fees. This is not true ; lawyers can get no more than people will give in that Court, or in any other. They do not re gulate their fees by the tribunal before which they are to plead; at least not in that way. They require pay in propor tion to their trouble, and it is more trou ble to argue a case before an ignorant than a learned Judge. In proportion to < the amount in dispute, lawyers charge more to plead in a justice’s court than be fore the Superior court. It is supposed that every case will necessarily go up there. I will venture to say, arguing from the experience of our sister States, notone in ten. The only things to be guarded against, are frivolous appeals. Our special juries have taught us how to guard against them. Let the same precautions be adopted as in our present appeals from a pettit to a special Jary, and where a man has right on bis side, an appeal will not be feared. Where justice has not been done, a suitor ought to have his cause re-investigated; where it has, we can by law give a compensa tion to the one who has been unjustly de layed. At present, there is greater de lay and ne compensation. Arguments have been drawn from the expenses of the English Court of Chancery. It is an un fortunate instance. That is a court of original and not appellate jurisdiction. A considerable portion of that expense a rises from the taxes on la w proceedings, and was used as au argument for their abolition. Our Court costs have never been very formidable obstructions to the course of justice, and the custom which has grown up of postponing the payment until the suit be decided, renders them of little weight. The great objections therefore of delay and expense, so formi dable to the imagination, becomes nothing when closely viewed and analyzed. It on ly remains litigation. No man goes to law without some hope of eventual success. Uncertainty in the law increases those chances, and conse quently encourages law suits. It has been acutely remarked, that the benefit of the laws is chiefly with regard to those who have no suits in court. Security of property is one of the chief objects of laws. The man who sits quiet at home under his own roof, and there is none to molest and make him afraid, enjoys all the advantages which the wisest system of laws could afford him. To the penal law he is indebted for his security against open violence; to the civil law for that certainty of right which smothers even the wish of others to contend for it. The benefit of a well administered system of law is not felt so much in what they do, as in what they prevent. Contentions either in court or out of court, are e vils. Law is intended to prevent them. Under a perfect system there will be none ; bpt our system necessarilj' gives rise to them. What is a man’s legal right ? No person does know or can kuow until it is decided in court. There is no prin ciple so firm but that it may be shaken; no point so well established but that au ingenious lawyer may hope to overturn it. A whole case often turns on the ad mission or rejection of a particular piece of testimony. The rules of evidence va ry every day. A deed for example Eastern circuit, the subscribing must be produced: In the MiddlV, il the deed be recorded within one year after its execution, they need not. In other circuits, it is evidence, if recorded at any distance of time. Here is at once a prin ciple of evidence on which the whole landed property of the country depends. For all practical purposes we might as well live in different States, The law of Carolina docs not differ more from the la u of Georgia, than the law of one Circuit differs from that of another ; nay, it h worse. Ask a Georgia lawyer for advice concerning the laws of Carolina, and he may with a little pains inform you. He has only to look at Brevard’s Digest and the published reports of their courts of law and equity. Ask a lawyer of one circuit concerning a suit in another, where lie does not practise, and if he pretends to advise you at ail, he will al most certainly mislead you. All deci sions rest ou memory or tradition. Every one tells the story his own way, and the Judge, if he adheres to it, decides as he happens to recollect, or misrccollec t what was done before. It must be a striking case indeed which remains distinctly ou the memory twelve'months after the de cision was had. It certainty of right and security of property be the main objects of the law, this variableness in the adju dications of the courts destroys both. The wisest laws become lame and detective in their execution. As long as language re mains, the only means by which the vo litions of one mind can be conveyed to another from the imperfections of the instrument, different minds will t’oim dif ferent opinions on the same words. This necessary defect becomes infinitely aggra vated by the diffuse, verbose and tautolo gical style iii which our acts are framed. There is scarcely one which might not be expressed with more cleani# s and precision in half the words, it is difficult from the expressions to find out what the Legislature do mean. Is it therefore sur prising that different J udges.should put different constructions ou thejsamo act ? With regard to the common law, the field | is so immense, it is rather to be wonder ed at that they agree so often, than that they should so often differ. A Supreme court would, in some degree, remedy these evils. The popular objections to it arc the delay aud expense which would bo attendant ou suits brought before that tribunal. In my next, 1 shall endeavor to show that the notions ou that subject are, to say the least of thorn, very much exaggerated. The use of such a tribunal has never been formally denied. Men cling to established things, and every proposal of change carries with il a vague apprehension of unknown danger, rrmro terrific to lire imagination than real ills ; as the superstitious are more scared by a shaking bush in the twilight, than by an armed foe in open day. BROWN LE LEFEBVRE DF.SNOUETTES. We have as yet (says the Rich mond Enquirer) seen no paragraph from the English newspapers, which speaks of the loss of this brave and distinguished man. lie had assumed a fictitious name during the Voyage; and Mr. Everhart, who has arrived in the U. States, adds, that to in crease his disguise he had suffered Ids beard to grow:—“ he had the mis fortune before the ship struck to be much bruised, and one of his arms was broken, which disabled !dm from exertion.” His death was announc ed in France on the 4th July ; and at the celebration of that memorable day by the Americans in Paris, one of them proposed the following toast: To the memory of General Le- Febvre Desnouettcs, and the other victims in the Packet Albion—in him we lose a worthy citizen, and France one of its bravest soldiers. The following delicate and tender eulogium is translated from the Paris Constitutionnel of the Bth July, for which we are indebted to a friend : “ The French army has lost one of its most distinguished generals ; and France, one ol her sons, whose disin terestedness is equal to his courage— a man, who in the course of a short life has displayed the highest military | virtue and the best qualities of private i life* After having braved death in . more than a hundred battles and en s gageixxents, General Le-Febvre-Des ' nouettes has sunk in the flower of his age. lie was on board the Albion, ' one ot the United Steles packets, • whose disastrous ship wreck took : place on the coast of Ireland on the ‘ 22d ot April last; he was on his way j. to Holland, where the exertions of his wife in addition to those of the King's . ministers had obtained permission for ; him to come, and whose arrival there would probably have Ixeen followed , by his speedy return to his country. . “ Gen. L. Desnouettes made his . first campaign at the age of 17 years, 1 in the army of Dumouricr, in 179-b ! He entered as a common soldier, but j. he attained all the various grades, up j- to that of Lieut. General, as the suc ; cessive recompenses of his various > services. He was at the battle ol 1 IMarengo, an aid*!e-camp of the First | Consul, where he particularly tlistiix t guished himself. t “ Since that memorable period, he > has assisted at the various actions - which cast a lustre upon the French arms : Elchingen, Austerlitz, Jena. ’ the plains of Silesia, attest his bravery - and brilliant achievements ; the peo • pie of the lust province will never for ■ get the manner in which he softened > the calamities of war. However ri -1 gorons may be the judgement of the world towards him for the event which drove him to a land of stran gers, (America,) a catastrophe so cru el ought undoubtedly to expiate it. Alas ! who is there now willing to condemn the praises which his un commonly noble qualities draw forth ? who can repress the recollections and regrets which they inspire ? “ (Jen. Dosnoucttes has left a fam ily filled with affliction—ami carries with him the regrets of his numerous friends.” From the Boston Evening Gazette.

The third rpirit says; Hast thou a so-row ’—come fell it to mo; Have I a comfort ?—thine it shall be.— 1 seek where the tears of the mourner are (lowing, And breathe on hit brow till its throbbing is calm; I steal w here the heart of the chastened is glowing, And as rain to the flower, my smile ishislialm; Where the exile is wandering, my pinions nre nigh, Where the pilgrim is weary, to sooth him, am I; X whisper them talcs of the home of their youth, Os the hearts that aie fond, and the prayers that ate truth! X fly where the sailor-boy watches aloft, And though storms gather round him, his slumbers are soft; Then I hear his young spirit away on my wings, Where the thrush that lie loved in his childhood still sings, Where the woodbine is ’twining its wreathes on the wall, And dear ones again on their wanderer call; — There is one bending o’er him whose lip cannot speak, And the tear of affection falls warm on bis cheek; There is one standing near him witli words in her eye, And he seeks the embrace which she may not deny: nut the sea-bird sails past—and shrill is her scream, And its tears lie awakens, but blesses bis dream. The sigXi of the lone); —the tear-drop of pain, Where hope is wasted, and prayers are vain, — The lips that arc pale, the cheeks that are wan, J Where joy is bitter—and comfort is gone,— The flowers that fade where the spring-blight is flying, The leaves that arc falling, the birds that are dy ing, The blasted sapling, the withering tree, Are sacred to Pity,and cherish’d by me, Peace to tbee, peace! Our second quotation is from “Home:”— ’Tis worth an age of wandering, to return The souls flint still can feel, and hearts that burn; We have not bent the chasten’d brow in vain, To bear the whisper, “ TXiou art mine agnin To see in eyes we love the tear-drop swell, Witli more of feeling than the lip could tell. The weary pilgrim’s wish—the exile’s prayer, Breathe of their home—Dial they may \ antler there, * And like the sun when summer days are past, Sink into rest, their calmest hour their last, Heave the death sigh where those around will weep, And sleep forever where their fathers sleep.
