AUGUSTA. MOV DAY, JUNE 11, 1827. £/* The GEORGIA COURIER will be regularly issued oa Mondays and Thursdays, precisely at 2 o clock, P. M. and it is hoped all Advertisements will be handed in, at least, by 12 o’clock on those lavs . » v • »* Our Hamburg friends will hereafter find their papers precisely at half past 2 o’clock, in the Post Office of Hamburg. We are politely permitted to have ac- css to the manuscript volume cf Judge Schley’s Reports, which we commence to-day transferring to the columns of the Courier. The cases are clearly and in telligently reported, and will, we hope, be of advantage, not to the profession on- iv, but to our intelligent readers of every Ascription. We suppose, there is not a printed volume of Georgia Law Reports, because there is no common standard of reference, whose authority in our legal decisions would be acknowledged through the State. There is but little commuuion of opinion between the judges, and their decisions are generally confined to their respective Circuits, where they are too often allowed to float in uncertainty in the memory of the Bar, without even a manu script brief to give them permanence..— By publishing the decisions of an intelligent fudge in one Circuit^ more uniformity of opinion, mere consistency of decision, may "bo effected through the State, and the evil, in some small measure, remedied, which wc have hi’herto suffered from the want of a ConstitutionalUourt, or Court of Appeals. But we xannoi* expect a complete removal of this evil, arising from the inconsistent decisions of the different Circuits, and from those of a new Judge being generally different from those of his predecessor, until there isa radical change in our Judiciary, a common tribunal to correct the errors of inferior judicatories, and our judges placed by the tenure of their office, in a state of greater independ ence. The Judge, who holds his office during good behaviour, has increased in ducement to qualify himself in proportion to the permanency of the duties he has to perform. This permanency in office, be sides the increased intelligence it will produce, will also give more uniformity -^ih1 consistency to bis decisions ; and continuance even in error is preferable injudicial decisions,to that eternal vacil- htion, which renders the citizen uncertain ol his rights, and the measures necessary to maintain them. ^ The Emperor, Don Pedro, of Brazil) ir is said, is preparing to visit Portugal.— llis presence in his native country, where one party consider him still entitled to reign, may change the face of affairs for the better. Com. Porter, front his station at Kev West, has nearly destroyed the coasting trade of Cuba.

Coody Raguet, our Charge d’Affairs a the Court of Brazil, from which he ateiy demanded his passpoit, arrived at New-York ou 31st ult. in the ship Flori da. Some of his Brazilian Majesty’s counsellors advised him to reconcile the offended representative of our country j to which lie replied, “If he belonged to some powerful monarchical government,! might do so ; but these republicans I hate ‘hr-m! Let hint go.” » The Postmaster General, M’Lean, is mi a visit of a few weeks to his domicile in Ohio. It is now between 4 and 5 years since this indefatigable officer entered the office of the Postmaster General, whose duties, he has discharged with so much ability and energy, and this is the first time be has intermitted his labors to visit -iis “ home,” which all who have a home, will readily unite in saying, is the sweetest place on earth, however homely. George Canning, the present Prime Minister of Eugland, is the illegitimate '°n of a strolling actress. Talents are aot confined to any grade of life, but e- qually distinguish their fortnhate peyssessor j whether he wears the garb of a lord, or a peasant. “ There is nothing like good heads to newspaper paragraphs. Some of the country papers have “ seductions,” “mur ders,” “suicides,” “breaches of promise,” 'See. A person said the other day a pa per was not worth reading without a mur der or two, or a seduction, by way of pep per and salt.” It h?s been a matter of much' regret to ^ 5 ) that there has alwavs been too much truth in thb above quotation. People generally loVe a strong excitement, with out regard to the consequences^ and we presuiiie, it arises from the same great Law of Nature which governs both mind add body. We have no accounts of bat tles to agitate the hearts of our readers, for the publication of which we might find our excuse in the fact, that in these great national struggles, mind more frequently triumphs than physical strength. We have attempted to awake into action a more pleasurable excitement, than that which is roused by accounts of blood and carnage, either on the great scale of na tional competition, or the more limited round of private malignity. We have presented such articles as were calculated to instil, by precept and good example, both intelligence and virtue. If we can persuade those, who are all tending to the same great catastrophe, to walk in the paths of virtue, in the same manner, other good men have done, our purpose is cer tainly answered in much the most pleas ant manner. It is not necessary for ships to dash against the rock, to inform the navigator where the danger lies. He has the same chart by which to steer—the same beacon light, by which to point his compass, as hundreds, who have before navigated the same channel, or weathered the same cape. It is not necessary, that his vessel and crew should be lost, in order to inform him that there is danger in run- ning against a rock. This he knows be fore as well as after shipwreck. Why then fill the papers with instances of hu man depravity and make them the records pf the shame and infamy of our nature 1 Instead of disgusting the reader with the deformity of vice, and shocking him with the appalling features qf murder, may not many, from these recitals, more readily learn the mysteries of iniquity; and are not all rendered less susceptible of hu mane and virtuous impressions ? The propensity to dwell on these pictures of depravity, show, a vicious state of moral feeling, and not less evidently, than did the enactment of laws to compel children to suppo, t the old age of their parents, mark the corruption of principle and the ap proaching ruin of the' Roman empire.— The conductors of public Journals would more effectually subserve the inTerests of virtue, if instead of dwelling on all the minutioe of horrid crimes, they were to re fuse them admission into their columns, like the virtuous nation which declined to enumerate the unnatural crime of para- cide among those punishable by its laws SELECTED FOR THE GEORGIA COURIER. DOST AI^OWAS, OR THE SORCERESS OF MONTILLO: A ROMANTIC TALE. i Sullen and sad to fancy’s frighted eye, Did shapes of dun and mnrky dew advance. In train tumultuous, and cf gesture strange, Aud passing horrible! CHARACTACU9. (CONTINUED.) “ Barnardo was then heard of no more at the castle, and I was appointed to his place ; and received an order to fit up the apartments of Lady Juliana, for the re ception of my lady, the late Count’s wife, who was immediately after married in the castle to the Don. A splendid entertain ment was given on the nuptials, and many of the nobility were invited. At twelve o’clock, the dances being finished, the company assembled in the large Gothic Hall to supper.—In the midst of the enter tainments, which were truly brilliant, and just as the castle clock tolled one, a fear ful cry was heard : the lights became in stantaneously extinguished—the company rose Jn dismay, while I hid myself behind the tapestry, and no one remained but the new married lady and her husband.—In a moment the tapers were re-lighted, and presented the figure of the murdered Al varez at the head of the table, clothed in the dress of a soldier. “ Behold me !” said the spectre to Algonah ; “ know me! and tremble for tby fate thereafter !” The spectre then raised his # hand iu a menac ing posture ; the lights were extinguished, and suddenly burnt again—but the spectre was gone. In the general horror which ensued, I came in for my share. The Don discovered me, and, drawing his poniard, seized me by the throat. “ Vil lain,’* said he, “ for a less crime than this Barnardo was put away:—If thou pryest into my secrets, again thou shah not es cape !—-Go, carry thy mistress to the bri dal chamber : not alt the ghosts of all the Counts that ever lived shall deprive me of enjoying her: -Go !” I bore her in animate Body away ; but from that hour she has never recovered her spirits. “ Don Algonah, after the birth of Lady Amaranta, became disgusted at her re serve, and hated her. “ The daughter of the late Count Alvarez the Don placed out at Grenada; snd, till my lady’s death, it was thought she was well provided for. There has been a report of the death since, but how that happened we must ask Don Algonah!” “For this thou shaft not escape me !” said a hollow voice be hind us: We knew by this we namUr he discovered,-but all our efforts could trace no person in the avenues leading to our apartment. After we had. spent some time in discoursing upon this mysterious admonition, Vestola retired, and we pass ed the night without interruption. On the following day the ruffian Perez was buried on the spot where I had laBed him. “On the fifth day of my residence at the castle of Montillo, I found myself so nearly recovered, that I took a walk in the garden with Marano, where we met the amiable ladies Amaranta and Clemen- tia.-A genera) conversation ensued, which ended in the latter accepting my profes sion of immutable affection, and equal re grets that We were compelled so soon to leave them. They appeared to be igno rant of the general history of the castle, nor could we fix upon any mode of safely corresponding wjth them. “At supper I received a letter from my mother, requiring niy- presence at Ma^ drid, and detailing the particulars of my father’s death. I was ruminating on this event at my chamber window^ when by the light of the moon I saw a man with a dead body .on his shoulders, whom I took for the assassin Pedro, bearing away the corps of his comrade.—I felt some alarm for myself, if this man knew I was an in habitant of the castle.—The castle clock had reverberated twelve, and the tale of old Vestola had absorbed me in reflection, when the feeble light of the moon shone on a large picture.—It was a tournament; and, as I sat at the table with my eyes fixed on it, I thought I saw the canvass mnve, and the two contending knights draw back from each other, leaving a va cancy, which was immediately occupied by the figure of a man,^ who advanced with a bloody poniard in one hand and a red lamp in the other.—Finding every thing still and in darkness, he quitted the aperture in the canvass, and advanced slowly to my bed.—Supposing I was there, he raised his arm to strike, just at the moment I had recovered from my terror sufficiently to rush to the place where ray sword lay: alarmed by the sound of my footsteps, in a moment theriight was ex tinguished, and he escaped through the private entrance at the instant my sword divided the belt of his girdle.—I pursued him by the sound of his tread, till I heard no more of him ; from the winding which I had made, I conjectured I was on the east of the castle ; the moon occasionally lighted me through a passage leading to a suite of apartments on the ground floor, all of which were fastened, except one; this I entered, and continued through three chambers, groping my way with my sword drawn. “ The moon beams set full through the window into the fourth chamber, which I now opened, and recoiled with horror, drawing the door too again instinctively.— My blood curdled in my veins : the terri ble and detestable reality I had seen, fixed me for some minutes motionless to the spot. It was no illusion, for a loud cry immediately followed, and the door was shut too beyond my efforts to open it a- gain.—I had been bewildered in following the assassin, whom I doubted not was Pedro; and I experienced the same dreadful embarrassment in returning.— Having seated myself in the middle of a large staircase tiil the morning light re turned, I insensibly fell asleep, from fa tigue ; and continued in that state till I was awakened by my friend, who inform ed me that he had been to my chamber to invite me to take a morning walk, but, perceiving the aperture in the canvass, and suspecting some extraordinary disco very had detained me, he took his pistols, determined to succour and follow me if in danger. Like me he had wandered in the mixtures of light and shade, till he entered a large antique hall on the eastern side of the castle ; in the middle of which stood the vestiges of an unfinishe, banquet, con- firming the account which Vestola had delivered ofthe Count Alvarez interrupt ing the nuptial entertainment given by Algonah.—We afterwards returned to our chambers, and I secured the aperture from being again opened. “ In the afternoon being somewhat re covered from my fright, I joined Marano and the ladies, who entertained us with their instrumental and vocal performan ces.—My friend was playing with the miniature which bung at his breast, when it attracted the eye of Amaranta. “ Good Senor!” she exclaimed, “ how came you by the picture of my mother ?—Though neither my sister nor I ever knew the blessings of maternal affection, and the deaths of our mothers are hidden in myste ry to us, yet we pay our.respects to the canvass which bears their resemblance.— But, Senors, you shall go with us, and view the picture gallery, if Vestola will give us the keys: there can be uo danger now my father is so far distant!” “ When the old steward was called, he opposed entering the forbidden gallery, and dementia expressed her fears of a discovery; but Amaranta, Marano, and I laughed them out of their apprehensions ; and, except Vertola, who again repeated to them their imprudence, we all went to the gallery.—Amaranta had scarcely withdrawn the curtains, and exposed the pictures, when Vestola entered in the greatest perturbation, announcing that Don Algonah had returned, and bidding us.descend the back stairs into the dining room. Before, however, we could reach the door, Don Algonah had entered. The terror of Amaranta and dementia was depicted in their cpunteuances.-He ft own ed as we entered. “ Don Algonah,” said I, “ we are not here from any trivial mo tive ;—the hospitality I have experienced has counteracted the assassin’s intention, who left me for dead near your castle; and I should wish that a better acquaintance—” “ Who are you ?—and who is this fellow, your comrade ?” said Algonah, survej'ing us contemptuously.” Marano, advancing indignantly to him, replied, “ Don Algo nab, it is for murderers and assassins who have comrades!—You shall know soon that J know you /” Don Algonah at these weirds drew his sword, & made a push at Marano, which was arrested by the arm of Amaranta, white I ran to separate the cqmbdtants. : r-‘ f Don Algonah,” said I, “ this is a Scandalous outrage upon persons of our rank; and it is equally reprehensi ble in-you, Marano de Piuata, not to gov- tern your resentment.—I as the Marquis d’Antares, the son of your first wife’s sis ter ; and my friend, who is your nephew, the son of your sister Leonora, might have expected a better reception from their relation.” “ Don Algonah showed evident marks of chagrin at the knowledge of who were his guests; but endeavoring to conceal his vexation in a tone of complaceucy, he enquired the accident which had brought me to the castle. I rebounted the parti culars to him, not forgetting to lay a strong etephasis on the determination of the assassin to dispatch him!—He turned pale at this circumstance, and when I had done* muttered an ungracious welcome ; and added, “ If you had slain them both, you would have made me eternally your friend!»’ The intelligence I had conveyed to the Don naturally drew this remark from him, as he, till this moment, had no doubt but the bravoes he had hired were slaves Turkey.—A pause cf half an hour ensu ed, during which time Lady dementia had recovered from a fit into which she had fallen, and with her sister was ordered out of the room. “ As you seem so well recovered,” said the Dou, “and the troops arc under marching orders from Tolosa I suppose you will immediately join your corps 1” I understood the hint, and re plied that my father’s death required my attendance at Madrid ; and, being his heir, I should remove from the army and the castle of Montillo veiy soon.

BALTIMORE JUNE 1. The Chess Player discovered.—This ingenious contrivance of M. Kempelen which has occasioned so much curious conjecture and excited so much interest in the principal cities of Europe, and in various part of the U. States, after a pe riod of nearly sixty years of donbt as to the mode of its operation, has at length been discovered by accident to be merely the case in which a human agent hasf al ways been concealed, when exhibited to an audience. This discovery, as we learn was made by a person who had not form ed hny plan or design for that purpose an accidental circumstance exposed to his view the concealed agent^ as he emerged from the case, just after the conclusion of an exhibition of the Automaton.—Fede ral Gazette. The Richmond Whig thus announces a threat hanging over its editor, and his no tion of vengeance in the case :— The Ladies.—When the fair sex med die with politics, Hume says, it denotes a high state of public excitement. When ever they take a hand, they are for pro ceeding at once to extremities—the ultima ratio of men is theprima ratio of women. Blows with them precede the use of mild er arguments. We are induced to make these observations, in consequence of be ing informed by a Prince Edward corres pondent, that a lady of that county, when our strictures on the Prince Edward meet ing in favour of Mr. Randolph appeared, expressed a wish to horse-whip the editor of our paper and her determination to at tempt it. We regret exceedingly, that we had not been apprised of the lady’s wishes and the lady’s name a few days earlier— for having, within a few days, passed through Prince Edward, we should have taken infinite pleasure iu submitting to the chastisement of our fair enemy. Sure we are, that blows inflicted by a hand so fair, must have been delightful. Like the faith ful spaniel, we would have kissed the hand that .chastised us—nay, for that matter, we rtould willingly have extended our courtesy to the rosy lips that pronounced the threat.
