1 “e mission of Count Orlift’ has created
ttcn conjecture in the cabinet, because i ! is
“own inal he possesses the entire confi
eilCe u * lhe Emperor Nicholas, to wa m he
a * rendered most essential services on
11 'tfenl occasions. It was he who advanc
ed against the rebels at the head of the H oops
when Nicholas mounted the Throne, and
who went from Adnmtiple to Constantin
ople and put the finishing band to the treaty
l' eii ce with the Tut Its, we allow that he
should be regarded as a mm of talent and
very conciliating manners ; of course lie is
a very fit person lor the important mission
he has undertaken.
We yesterday received the news of the
entry of the French into Ancona and their
forcible possession of that city. “One of
the gates was stove in with axes. All the
soldiers of the pope have been disarmed/

The arrival of the 2d division i* expected.
—There is a rumour that other French vrs
sels have debarked troops at Civita Vecchia
■who are at this moment marching towards
Rome. Great agitation exists in the capital
and it is said serious troubles. All the
Theatres are shut. You cannot figure to
yourself the eflect produced by the arrival
of the French. Since yesterday (he ci f y of
Bologna has changed its aspect. Every

You cannot imagine the enthusiasm of Rn-i

which shakes all Italy.

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

authorities refuse to grant passports.

Extract of a letter to a respectable Commercial house in this

HAVRE, March 9.
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

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,
