j i iforms me that lie well retollects the audi-

they wen: signed Ity him. Captain A., says
they did nut circulate ns money, but that
they were sold at seven shillings and six

the facts.
It will give me great pleasure at all times
to serve you.
Yours, verv respectfully,
RUBER V M CHARLTON'.

Abrahams, in the above opinion. These are
the only persons here upon whose informa
tion you can relv.
were nut understuod. Tile Bitrutt, malting use, as
an interpreter, of a French geniletnan u Iio chanc
ed to come up, demanded of Senor Otero if lie
were tile author of an article published on llie 24th.
entitled. •£/ Diario de /os Debates en la Cuestion
del Bano de las Delictus.’ Senor Oteio having
replied tu hint tlmt lie shuuld make inquiry at me
printing office, the Baron repeated his demand, lo
which Senor Otero replied that he did not rccog.
mve in tiie interrogator tho right to put such a
question lo hint, and that, besides, lie was nut dis-
4 hat in June, 180i, posed to reply. Thereupon, Baron de Cyprey spat
in the face ol Senor Otero, and instantly a person
al conflict ensued, in w hich Senor Otero, being
without arms, used his lists, and his adversary a
cane which lie carried. The noise of the fight
naturally attracted quite a number of persons, who
al once interposed. M. de Cyprey, before rctir- ,
mg, declared In Senor Otero llial he was at tile ;
latter's disposition if tie desireu t satisfaction
"Such is tiie French version of the affair; nor
■Iocs tiie Courtier hesitate tu condemn tiie haste of
M. de Cyprey : it pleads for iiim, that he regarded
Senor Otero’s reply as a subterfuge unworthy of a
man of honor—as an act of cowardice which the
impulse of Hie moment induced him lo chastise by
tile grossest indignity. The Siglo of tiie following j
day gives the particulars which led to the affray in !
almost the same words, but stales that the parties |
had frequently before met after the article had ap. j
peared, and on noocca-inn had the Baron directed j
a word nr it look to Senor Otero. The Siglo furtit- j
er says tlmt the B. ron commenced the assault with 1
ids cane, not Ity Ihe more vile indignity ; ilial the
h ow .of tiie cane Senor Otero stopped with his arm, |
and answered w iiu a blow of Ins fist; that as the j
crowd interposed, Senor Olero reproached his as- I
suilanl w ith tiie cowardice and indecency ofhis
conduct, in selecting for the attack a place wiiere .

liim m escape the consequences of his insolence
and superci icisness. Senor Otero is a magistrate, |

ever attained. Having said this much of the re*
putution of tne phrase be it our next core to give
its origin.
Some forty-five years since, a gentleman by the
name of Hanes was travelling on horseback in the
vicinry of Mr. Jefferson’s residence iu Virginia.
Purty spirit was running extremely high in those
days. Sir* Jefferson was president, and Mr. Uni es
was a rank federalist, and as a mutter of course,
a bitter opponent to the then existing administra
tion and its head. He was not acquainted with
Mr. Jctlcrbon, and accidents liv coming up with
that gentleman, also travelling on horseback, his
party zeal soon led him into a conversation upon

There was no such thing as getting away fiorn his
very particu ar friend, and he did no*, exactly feel
: at liberty to combat his arguments.
Tiiey finally arrived in front of Mr. Jefferson's
residence, Hanes of course not acquainted with
ihe fact. Notwithstanding lie had been viliified
nud abused “tike a pick-pocket,” to use the oi l
raying. Mr. Jefferson still, with the true Virginia
no>pnnlily and politeness, invited his travelling
companion to adghtand partake of some refresh
ments. Hanes was about getting fiom his horse,
when it occured lo him that he should ask his coin-
punion’s name.
•Jefferson.* snid the president blandly.
•Wlut! Thomas Jefferson ?
•Yes sir, Thomas Jefferson.1
‘President 'Thomas Jefferson V continued the
astonished federalist.

There appears to be no diversity of opinion in
the public press of Georgia, »s to '.he propriety of
t.stabifiling u Court of Knor*. We believe that
u :^e majority of our fellow.citizens without di»-
tinciinn of party is in favor of llie measure, and
that the long continued delay, and repented refu*
Mils of tiie Legislature lo organize the Court, are
no proofs of the unpopularity of the Court.—
Among the causes for the refusal so organize, we
have heard of one mat dm iu’s to be recalled.—
At the veiy session which passed tne biil by she
constitutional majority ol two thirds, th is making
it a part of the Constitution, a bare majority could
not be obtained for die bit! cariyii g out ihedtiaiis
of the provision. Why was tins 1 Sc because
the Court was m»t unacceptable. Tiie two-tinrds
vote proves the contrary. Bn: it is raid that ihe
