The opinion of the court was pronounced in the ease of Dartmouth college against Woodward, which was argued at the last term. The judgment of the state court •Wthis cause, (involving tne construction of that mticlc of the constitution which prohibits the state legislatures from making any law impair ing the obligation of contracts) was reversed. February 3.—The opinion of the court w r as delivered in the case of the baptist association against Hart’s executors, for t.ie defendants.— This cause was also argued at the last term. Several causes were argued. Mr. Winder comment ed h.s argument for the captors in the case of tne Divina Pastora, a ship and cargo cap tured by a cruizer sa ling under the Buenos Ay lean flag; but ailedged to have been fitted out in tiie ports of the United States. • February 4.—Mr. Webster and Mr. Ogden addressed the court on the part of the Spanish owret in tin case of the Divina Pastora, and Mr. W ’ • iosed the argument, in reply. Mr. VV irt, (attorney general) and Mr. Jones, argued the case of the United States against 1 . Hovland and Allen. February s.—The court ordered the case of the Divina Pastora, argued yesterday, to be re manded to the circuit court, with directions to permit an amendment of tiie libel, the pleadings being too defective to enable the court to pro nounce a decision on the legai merits of the cause. Mr. Wirt, (attorney general,) concluded in re ply; the argument in the case of the United Stales against Hovland and Allen. Several other minor cases were heard.—Na tional Intelligencer. Resolutions were offered in the legislature of the slate of Louisiana on the 14th uit, returning thanks to general Jackson, for the services ren dered that state in the invasion of 1814-15; and appropriating nine hundred dollars for the pur chase of a sword, to be presented by the govern or, in the name of the state, to general Jackson. In the same body, on the 15th ult. the house of representatives was occupied in a debate upon a bill for for granting a pension to general Wil kinson. It was first discussed in committee of the wnolc. Its supporters ailedged that it be came the rich and flourishing state of Louisiana to come to the relief of an old revolutionary ve teran, who was now reduced to poverty. They adduced the example of the state of Maryland, which had already granted him a pension. Taey said that we were now enjoying the advantages for which the general had fought; and that it vvas nothing but just that ne who nail served to gain them should be kept from want at the brink of tne grave. The opponents of the bill contended that no proof Avas given tiiat general Wilkinson was reduced to poverty, and tnat even admitting this to be tbe fact, IT was on the general govern ment he had a claim for relief and not on this stale. Many of our own citizens are suffering from the Hardships encountered during tueir noble efforts to expel the invaders of our nom~s in 1815; and if any arc to taste of the munificence of the scale, tiiey should be tne first. The bill was rejected in committee of the whole, by a majority of 22 to 11. On the report of the committee being made to the house, it was was moved tiiat the consideration thereof be postponed until Thursday next, winch was a greed to. A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT. A respectable merchant of this city, has recent ly received a letter from his correspondent in Savannah, informing, that a person had been ap prehended in the latter place, on suspicion of be ing one of the passers or counterfeiters of the notes on the bank of America, lately put in cir culation here. A great many sheets of counter feit and spurious bank bills were found upon his person, and he acknowledged that he expected a trunk from Charleston, by the sioop Express, containing more bills of the tne same desciip tion. Upon this information being communica ted by the gentleman who received it, to the cashier of the bank of South Carolina, he went immediately on board the above packet, then on tiie point of sailing, accompanied by Mr. Justice Mitchell, where they found the trunk referred to. It had been given (without address) to tne stew ard of the vessel, by a negro who told him that on its being called for in Savannah, he would bo handsomely rewarded for his trouble. The trunk was forced open, and found to contain, amongst clothing, books, See. a large roll of coun terfeit bank bills, in sheets, amounting to between one hundred and fifty and two hundr and thousand dollars!! —the most, if not all of them, on the N< jwport, (Kentucky) bank. One of them was passed in tiiis city. They were principally of the denomination of 50 and 100 dollars. The real .tame of this culprit we have not yet clearly ascertained—he has passed by tne names of Hunter , Hewett and Tyler. He is said to be an accomplished and classical scoundrel, having graduated at one of the eastern colleges, and is of a reputable family.— Char. City Guz. 12 1 h inst, CAPTURE OF GUIRA. The Trinidad papers brought by the British packet Speedy, from Falmouth, E.via Bermuda contain the parti cuiars of the capture of Gui ra by admiral Brion’s squadron. The following is an extract:—The fleet of Bi ion anchored in the offing before Guira, and soon after a landing from his gun-boats was effected. Tne Spaniards 350 in number, who attempted to oppose tiie landing were driven into the fort, which was stormed by land and sea, and cairied, but not without bloodshed.—The grape from the Vic toria’s long tom did great execution—3o dead were found in the redoubt, and many of the wounded who scrambled into the bushes were lanced by Jean Charles Rangers, and brought in. The loss of Brion, was one officer and six men in action, and nine seamen killed by the acciden tal discharge of an 18 pounder. The Columbia brig of one long gun which had got becalmed near the coast of Guira, was boarded by three gun boats from Guira.—The crew had previ ously left her in their boats, except the surgeon, who had gone below to his post, and knew noth ing of what had happened. On discovering this man they dragged him by his hair upon deck and aft to the taffrail, where holding him up so as to be seen by the Favorite, one of Brion’s vessels, they butchered him by nearly severing his head from his body, leaving it hanging to the spine,- and then inflicting innumerable stabs on the bo dy, threw it overboard.— N. York Daily Adv. THE JEWS. Extract from a discourse delivered by Mr. Noah, editor of the National Advocate, at the consecration ol the Jewish synagogue in New-York. “Among the illiberal and gloomy prejudices which the light of reason lias banished from the earth; we hope we may reckon that unjust, and hostile spirit which so long existed against Tie Jews. Since the time ot \ esp&fian their history may be traced in blood. Although oppressed by superstition —libelled by ignoiance--perse cuted by fanaticism—and impoverished by des potism —this ancii nt people, t c lavoril.es ol Je hovah, are still existing, a ckstinct, wealthy and intelligent race of men; a memorable and incon trovertible evidence of tiie truth of tiiat sacred volume on which our own laith reposes. We are surprised that a greater number of the chil dren ot Israel have not found their way to these provinces, where they would, it is to be hoped, i find a sanctuaiy from prejudice, and Tie treated | with that respect which the descendants ol so re ! nowned and interesting a people are so eminently entitled to. “Let it be inscribed on memory its a proof ot the Divine will, the miracles which have pass and, and those yet to come. 4 And the Lord shall scat ter thee among ail people, irom one end of the ‘ earth even to the other, and among these nations shait thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have a rest.’ Look round the world, al ter many hundreds, many thousands of years nave elapsed, and see how cleariy the prophecy is lul fiiled. Seethe Jews op tiie confines ol Frisia, and of China, and in the wilderness cl America. Mark their footsteps through the snows ol Rus sia, and on the burning sands of Africa. There are upwards of seven millions of Jews known to be in existence throughout the world; a greater number than at any funner period of their histo ry, and possessing more wealth, activity, influ ence and talents, than any body oi’ people on earth, of equal extent. The signal for breaking the Turkish sceptre in Europe will probably bo ! their emancipation; they will deliver tne north oi * Africa from its oppressors; they will establish civilization in European Turkey, and may revive commerce and the arts in Greece; they v. M march in triumphant numbers, and repossess th mselves of Syria, and take their rank among the governments of the earth.” Marshal’s sale.
