Bologna, February 24, (Courier extraor dinary.) —We have received the news that the Fiench Fleet is in view of Civita Vecchia. 1 can hardly d scribe to you the exultation which the arrival of the French on our coasts, has produced among the Romagnese youth, it is much to be feared that their ardour Cannot be repressed and that it will be a source of new misfortunes. It is impossible, aay our young men, that the French should have come to plant the Tricolored Standard on Italian ground, as an emblem of Tyranny; it is impossible that the soldiers of July should wish to join our oppressors. Many patriots are going towards Ancona & Civita Vecchia, to see the F:ench, but the Police has .Gained a great number and the public authorities refuse to grant passports. Pahis, March 6. The most precise accounts of our debar cation at Ancona, came to the Minister, by the son of M. Berlin de Vaux, who was an, eye witness of the possession of the Town. I March 8. Nothing to say about Italy, became no thing has been determined on ; neverthe Jess the ministerai paper believes it can af firm, without indiscretion that it is to gua rantee the Pontifical court from the inva j Sion of Austrian ambition, that we have ta-j ken possession of Ancona. If the piece! which the Courier Francois publish yestor j day as being the answer of the Government! of Rome to M St. Aulaire on the subject; of the expedition destined for Itaiy.be offi , cial, we doubt whether the Pope is so en-j chanted with what we have done to sustain, Ihis independence, we doubt it still more since the protest of Cardinal f'grnette (.lot, Albani.) In these two pieces the Roman government recognizes the Emperor of Austria as his immediate and natural pro tector. htVERPOOL. March 3, (Saturday.)

As things now stand we entertain a favorable opinion of Cot ton, and thiok it likely that prices may improve gradually as the season advances, particularly if, as we are led to anticipate, supplies should ouie but scantily to our market for the remain der of the year. The demand for Gotten during the last ten days has been moderate, owing in a great measure to the heavy arrivals, amounting to about 15700 bales, prices of American Sorts have improved fully 1 centime; buyers submit with great reluctance to the pretensions of holders, who remain very firm in the expectation of small imports for two or three months to come. Our stock comprise about 35000 bales. Considerable soles of Rice have taken place, prices have receded 50 or 75 eenta per 1-2 kilog, in consequence of the late arrivals and those Shortly expected. P.

AUGUSTA: Jj FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1832. _ THE Superior Court of Tattnall county.com-' ( nenred its usual semi annual session on Thursday the 12Ui day of the present month, and although , ’I I6 lengih of the Term as contemplated by Law, I is only three days ; the Court in Emanuel being ap pointed for the Monday follow ing —yet the last mentioned Court was necessarily lost, in conse quence of the extension of Tattnall Court to the Saturday week succeeding the Thursday on which i it commenced. The trial of Joseph Bell for mur i began on Saturday and ended on the follow ing Friday—the Jury listening during six days with t exemplary patience to witnesses, some of whom deposed at great length, and to a very protracted I argument from the Counsel engaged in the cause. 1 Vi e venture to give a brief and imperfect abstract of the evidence, premising that it was with some 1 difficulty a Jury could be obtained ; many of the Jurors summoned having disqualified themselves by forming and expressing opinions, so that the first pannel was exhausted and another summoned be- I fore the proper number was obtained for the trial of the prisoner. /. Ihe State relied upon the evidence of l-’achel Sapp, the widow of the deceased —upon the flight lof ihe prisoner and his confessions—for the purpose of proving him guilty of the murder of Matthew . Sapp. The prisoner insisted upon the confessions put , in proof by the State -upon the want of credit in i Uachel Sapp—upon the threats of the deceased against him, and upon the testimony of Patrick i Bell-the son of the prisoner—for the purpose of .establishing Ins innocence, and also the fact that the deceased was killed by Peter While, in selfde -1 fence, and not by the prisoner. Mrs. Uachel Sapp swore that on the night of the 24<h of February 1830, she and her husband were t affording assistance to a cow, then upon the lift, outside of their enclosure, and in the woods but not far from their dwelling which stood in a field ad joining the road leading from Milledgeville to Sa-j . vannah. While thus employed, they heard the I trampling of horses and saw the prisoner and Peter , White ride into their field and pass around the chimney of the house—they were armed with guns, . and dismounted, but after conferring together they , remounted their horses. Meanwhile the deceased told his wife to fix down the cow and remain where! i she was, whilst he slipped round and ascertained! ■ who the persons were, and after leaving her a few I steps, he turned and told her not to suffer the dog I to make any noise. He walked onward, when the ’ prisoner and White rode towards him, and waen within IS steps levelled their pieces and fired in quick succession ;'the deceased screamed loudly, exclaiming twice, “Lord have mercy on me !” ; i , and fell. The prisoner and White rode off and 1 Mrs. Sapp, who, after her husband left her, had re- | tired behind a tree, now approached the body of , the deceased, but she did not reach it, for the ) horsemen very soon returned, and Hell exclaimed j jin a loud voice, “oh d—n your’h—ll fired soul ! lij always knew I should have to kill you and now In havedoneit.” He then remarked to his compan- .1 lion “There is some one else, !” and addressing 1 her said “ I am as good for you as 1 was for him”!' and upon this Mrs. Sapp fled into an adjacent branch and made the best of her way to her fath ers’house which was distant one and a half miles j r itaking her course through the woods. She admit- g ted that Sapp was armed with a rifle, but denied c that he made any use of it. The witness also de-T posed that two nights before, six guns had been fired at their dwelling—three on one side and three J 1 on the other—the firing commencing about 12 at ( night and ending at cock-orow. At that lime Sapp ( had no gun in his hand—he did not own one—and as the parly committing the outrage went away,) she heard the voice of Bell which she said she knew) as well as her own fa'her’s, shouting at a distance, t She denied that she had ever heard the deceased v utter any threats against the prisoner ; and contra- dieted herself in several particulars ; —besides, she! , did not mention the name of Patrick Bell who was) jof the pany when the death occurred. The pri-j --> suner and deceased lived about two and a half miles I i apart, and the moon was shining "pretty bright” ! j when the fatal event happened- When she had t collected several persons and returned, the deceas ed was lying on his face and upon his rifle j with his hands drawn up under him. ’J Richard Wester was one of the party who accom- panied Mrs. Sapp in search of the body of her hus y band. The rifle was taken from under the body by I “ Webb, to whom it belonged—the guard and cock | n were broken—the cock was found under the body. I 0 / I e The persons present, after some examination of the | S | rifle concluded she was loaded—she was blown into j and the breath did not seem to pass through her— lj the pan was shut but was opened by the witness 'who felt within it grains—he thought—of powder— s but they might be of sand—there was not sufficient light to enable him to make a satisfactory examina tion. The rammer was drawn and inserted by Webb, the owner of the piece, who at the time asked a young man who had used her, whether the rod was too long or short—to which the reply was “too short,” and Webb then exclaimed “By God— she has her proportionable load I” Witness had lent 1 to the deceased a shot gun, af'er getting which in to his possession, the deceased told the witness of , the attack made upon his house, and said had he r been armed, the assailants should have heard from 1 him. The witness expressed freely his opinion of| such an outrage, and asked deceased who had it’—to which the reply was “he did not know.” He asked if it was Bell, and the deceased answered! he knew not j but when reminded that aowding ito his own statement t» witness a short time before he and Hell had settled their disputes —the de ceased said “yes—l bey were friendly, and he did not know who owed him so much ill will, unless it : was them d d lilt !e White I." The witness saw j no marks of the shots in the trees or t he fence, near ; which the body of the deceased lay, nor was there ■ any impression upon the ground as of one struggling in the last agonies —and hence, he concludes, that after receiving the wounds the deceased was run ning and fell lifeless on the spot where he was dis covered. His month was bruised, and sand and pine baric were upon it. 'I he witness Undid Sapp, was discredited hy Mr. Wester who testified to her want of character for tin’ll and veracity. Alien Johnson testified to the condition of the body when found—there were eight wounds all ranging square through— in the same direction— and extending on the left side from the ankle to the shoulder—a shot passed also through the thick part oMhe left arm—no hones were broken—the blood had run out of the mouth, and witness thought the j shot had penetrated the lungs or the heart. We have not leisure at this moment to transcribe the rest of the evidence—it shall appear in our next. Joseph Hell and Peter White, and Patrick Hell, were all included in the same indictment. The At torney General perceiving that the indictment could I **ot be sustained against Patrick Hell entered a Noli 'Prosequi as to him; and White and Joseph Hell severed in their trials, as the Court decided they had a right to do. The verdicts were not guilty in both instances; it was not possible for the Juries acting impartially upon the evidence to find differently. Mr Attorney General Jenkins, Robert W. Flournoy and George Schley, Esqrs. addressed (he Jury on the part ot the State—in Bell’s case—and J. H. Saffold, Levi S. DeLyon, Robert R. Reid and John M. Berrien, Esqrs. in behalf of the Prisoner. In White’s case (he Attorney-General appeared alone in be half of the Slate, and Edward J. Black and Roger jL. Gamble, Esqis. for the Prisoner. About six months since a gallant Rooster—the lord of a poultry yard, sixteen miles from town— fell by accident into a well, the depth of which is seventy s five feet. There being no water, he re mained in safety in his solitude until a few days since j when he perched upon the basket let down to sup ply him with water and food and was drawn up and restored to liberty and light. It was observed that during his imprisonment he entertained no : clear idea of the coming of day and generally ut tered Ills salutation to the morning about mid day when the beams of the vertical sun shed a twilight ■into his dungeon. He kept up bis spirits—ate heartily and so soon as he regained his ancient do minion flapped his wings, crowed merrily and pre' pared for battle, COMMUNICATE®, A SCENE FROM REAL LIFE.
