Boliver Defeated.— This General is
i said to have been entirely defeated by
the Royalits, on the river Unare, be
tween Barcelona and Cape Codera,
4 With the loss of more than 500 men;
£ |t number, superior to the force which
. ! opposed them. This report we thiuk,
will be found susceptible of a little
modification—it has too much (beau*

Treaty with Sweden. —lt is stated
in some of the news-papers, that the
Cotrimerciai Treaty concluded with
Sweden by our Minister, Mr. Russel,
Was rejected by the Senate. This
statement appears to bo erroneous—
, ..for, the Editors of the National In
telligencer say, that according to
their information, the Treaty was ra
tified, with the exception of one or
m,hre articles, which ii is presumed
*bpc to be the subject of future nego
tiation. |
Penitentiary Convicts. —lt will be I
seen from the following intelligence,
which we extract from the Georgia
journal, that our Penal Code, which
some supposed would never find hs
way from our Statute Book, hut re
main inoperative as a dead letter , is
almost daily practical illus
trations, much to the disappointment
and chagrin of those speculative theo
rists, who, it would seem, were really
desifbus to test its efficiency,
“At the late Superior Court in tills
(Baldwin) county, tnoch Luncford ,
Daniel Hammond , and William Kay,
were convicted of the offences with
which they were charged, and sen
tenced to confinement in the Peniten
tiary—the first for five years, the se
cond for a year and a haif, and the
third for one year. When Enoch
4 J.uiicfoid, whose crime was forgery,
came to the Bar to receive the sen
tence of the court, his counsel moved
in arrest oi judgment and for his dis
charge, upon the following grounds:
Ist. because he could not be pun
ished by the law of 1792, it be
ing repealed by the last clause of
the Pet.al Code.
Sdiy. That he was not subject to
the provisions of the Penal Code,
because it was ex post facto as
»t regarded the prisoner, the of
fense having been committed be
utetbe Governor’s Pro •lam'a
tiofi'was issued declaring the law
in force.
[ln support of these positions some
3 law authorities were quoted, which
were rebutted by the Solicitor, and
finally over-rnled by Che Court.]

After the court had deeded that
die prisoner should be punished un
fer the new code, hi* counsel object
t( » to-ariy Increase of'ihe puuishincnt
beyond the shortest period of confine
ment (2 years) fixed by the law for
(he crime of forgery, on the ground
that the court h|«l no right to exer
aise a discretion which had been ex
pressly confided to the Jury!. This
plea was also over-ruled, and the pri
soner sentenced to five years impris
onment in the Penitentiary, and fined
eighty dollars, the amount of the or
der he forged.
That «honesty is the best policy”
never was more plainly verified, than
in the case of this mao. His fate
should be a warning, and may well be
cited as an example, to deter others
from the commission of vice. Pos
sessed of a good understanding and a
tolerable property, had he (aken half
the pains to increase his fortune by
honest industry that he practised to
Cheat his neighbors, be might have
been wealthy and respectable. For
years past he bad been, it is not doub
ted, in the habit'of committing acts
similar to that for which he now sni
ffers; but favored by fortuitous cir
cumstances, op his own ingenuity,
punishment had been slow in overtak
ing him. It is perhaps worthy of re
mark, that the order be was convict
ed of counterfeiting, or rather alter
ing, so as to encrease the amount from
eighteen to eighty dollars, was given
him for hauling bricks to build the
walls of the State-Prison, of which
he is now a tenant.
The Penitentiary System lias been
in operation but a month, and yc(
there are about half a dozen convicts
One from Jackson county reached
here on Sunday, whose term of im
prisonment is for seven years. At
this rate, the building will soon he
filled. It may with truth be said,
the Institution is “ in (be full tide of
successful experiment.”
