As we are indebted to an ingenious friend for tit?* article, we shall give it in his own words. It may not be unacceptable to the 'curious to know the mnS’ probable reason «d;y this great palladium of oUirtiberty is, in point of the number that constitutes a jury, composed of twelve. As 'his form of trial was first established in England by the Saxons, who doubt less had it Ircm their ancestors, the great veneration at that period in which remote institutions were held, must tend satisfactorily to show how sacred the number twelve was regarded on the scroll of antiquity. The i idiac, from the earliest period, was divided into twelve parts or s.gns, and hence twelve months ot the year. Ti.ere were twelte dii vtnjores, or principle gods of the heathens. Troche tribes ot Israel. Twelve apostles. The Gr« cians heW the number in the utmost veneration, as did also the Eeyptuns at a more emly period, who both thought it contained something mystical, as afterwards did the Ro mans, and it was held in hke mannnr by all the Northern nation in Europe. Prom ffJese causes, therefore a strong pre sumption arises, that a preference had been originally given to that number in the forma tion of so important a (joncem as Trial by jn ry; and the more especially, fas popular preju dices were so much in favor of it to any other number whatever.

The of- i 5 Jeers and men were released on the ‘ ‘loth of May, with the exception of James Stevens, carpenter of the Vix • ten,and myself, whom Sir John tho’t proper to detain on the supposition of our being British subjects. The 1 Polctiers sailed for Bermuda on the 12th. a.id arrived on the 25th of May. Stevens and my self were sent on board the guardship Ruby, of 6J» guns, then commanded by com. Evans. The Ruby had a flue boat which sailed re mat kahly fast.

There has been two successive fail ures of the Northern Mail—occasion ed we presume by high waters be tween Camden and Fayetteville. In contrast with the adulatory at tention which the President has re ceived during his northern tour, wc are much pleased with the honest and simple, welcome given him by the community of Shaking Quakers, whom he visited at Enfield, Vermont. [ He was met by the Elder, who came i forth from the principal house in the set dement ,and addressed him thus:— ** T Joseph (j'oodrich, welcome James j Mnnroe to our habitation .” 1 Sweet and flowery expressions of and pompous and high sound ing terms of attachment, should al ways be considered us marks of a vi ■ tinted, sycophantic, or designing mind. ! If the first, it should excite our pity ; if (he second, our contempt; and if the last, our indignation and resent ment. The effusions of a good and refined heart ate breathed out with trembling solicitude, always anxious to e ,oid the appearance of ostenta tion or flattery—And a simple ami blunt sincerity, which cannot be mis taken, characterises the rough son of nature whose heart warm* towards his fellow-being. Some observations in relation to (he character of MacGregor’s expe dition, and a statement that two prices .had arrived at Amelia, ladened with 600 Africans, which we published not long since, arp all flatly contra dicted by the Savannah Republican. The gentleman through whom the information was obtained living re mote from this place, prevents us at this time, from replying to (he Edit ors of the Republican in a proper manner. We can inform them, how ever, that they are mistaken in their bravado. As regards ourselves, we gave the information as it was received, with our impressions of its correctness.— Our belief in its credibility was , strengthened by our confidence in the source from whence it was dprived— and we shall still retain our opinion until we are better and more satisfac torily convinced of the contrary. Whilst the spirit of revolution in Spanish America, was marked with a character conformable to the dignity pf the purpose for which it was pro j scouting, our feelings and our wishes were deeply enlisted in its behalf. But when its aspect is changed—its interesting features disfigured by a barbarous and revengeful policy, we are desirous to see the conflict, in which unsuspecting humanity only bleeds to gratify individual ambition and party animosity, excluded from (he page of history. That the revolution in Spanish \- rocrica has shamefully deitoriated smee the dissolution of the patriotic Cortez, is a fact which every one must know who has correctly observ ed the progress of the patriots. At (he commencement of the conflict, die only man whose persona; influ ence and commanding genius could inspire the fervor of freedom, recon cile the discordant materials of revo lution, and give to its character the imposing front of a moderate, digui fled and well regulated authority, was betrayed to the enemy by the avar ice ind treachery of some of his fpllow *rs.

Could We see the least prospect for a probable amelioration of the degraded and oppressed sV e of the Spaqiaty!—could we see the pure flame of a holy revolution burn iqg tlroughout his immense provinces —then might the enemies of his na. ture he consumed upon the altar of li! berty—and mankind hail the’ era which would give another Republic to the World. But, alas, for humanity, the spirit ofa pure philanthropy hat not yet been found in Spain. SALES OF ALAbXmA LANHS.
