mitment were defective. 21. That the act
of the hist Legislature itself, did not contem
plate punish ng the Indians for digging Gold
on tliei own hinds, hut was intended for in

it did, it was iincoiistilu iouul, on tlie ground
thus it violated numerous treaties m iuo with
thorn expressly guaranteeing the undisturbed
posessiou and occupancy of all their lands
not ceded to tho whites. After much argu
ment, the Court said it was a very important
question, and required the utmost delibera
tion : respect for tho Legislature demanded
it. As however, it did not believe the pe;son
could be discharged upon the two first
grounds, it. would in candor any, his best
prospect was on the last, and as the Court
would take time to consider so-gravc a ques
tion, it would release him from his confine

would he delivered, if in the moan time its
j mind could he fully satisfied on the point.—
ndcavor to
have its opinion ready by Jackson Court,
which is just past ; but such has been
the nature of its other pressing engage
ments, as well as tlm groat magnitude of the
question, that it has not been done, nnd will
not be done, until e cry source of information
both legal and polical, is consulted, which
can possibly shed light upon a subject involv
ing so seriously, the liber' v of an unfortunate
people, ns well ns the character of the. State.
Since the question of the Indians, digging
gold has been agitated, many persons have
expressed an opinion that if they ure allowed
to do it, they enn employ any person they
please to do the same tiling. Su h nji opin
ion is very erroneous, for wc have it from
Judge Clayton himself, that even if he were
to decide that the Indians had the right, the
law would he binding against every other
person, and the doctrine that 4 ‘ what a man
does by another, he do r, s by himself,” will
not apply to criminal cses. Il is unly ap
plicable to civil contracts, and every man
stands upon his own responsibility in com
mitting acts that nre made criminal by law.
We should regird any remarks upon
this subject, at this time ns premature,
and have therefore confined ourselves to
the opinions entertained hy tho Court.—

Cusps of the Moon.—The position whicli
tho cusps, or points, of the new moon exhibit,
when first scon, has always been madea great
handle of by as'rolngcrs. The following sim
ple nnd rut ionnl account of this varying phe-
nomen', is given in the Companion to the
Almanac:—These (the cusps) nre always
both at equal distances fYoin the sun, of course
dieir standing straight or leaning backwards
or forwards depends upon thq distances that
the moon is north or south of tho sun. Any
one can sec this by a very simple experiment.
Take an orange, or nn npple, or any thing
round, and hold it in your left hand between
you and tho candle, only as far to the left ns
that tho light will shine on n part of it, in the
shape of a new moon. This moon may be
much narrower of broader, according ns you
hold it nearer or farther from the lino between
you and the candle. If you hold it just as
high as the candle, the line of the points will
be upright; if yon move it higher than tho can
dle, the lino will lean backwards more und
more, as it is raised, nnd if you move it down
lower than the candle, the line will lean for
ward, more and more, as it is lowered.*’

“Rio of. Janeiro, July 18,1831.
On the 14th there was a revolt among th 1 ?
soldiers, and the disturbance still continues.
I went usher • on the 14th, ns usual, quite un
aware of any thing that was going on, hut it
was not long before I was acquainted with
the difiicultips. Musket balls were flying in
every direction, and tho cries of the soldiery
weio heard in different quarters. I returned
to the vessel immediately, and was now wit
ness to tho most distressing scone of confu-
-ion—men, women and children were earnest
ly imploring nn asylum. There are three of
the fir.-', families of the place on board this
vessel with all their retinue,which is no small
number. On shore it remains very unsettled.
All the Police guard have been disarmed and
imprisoned, they having, it is said, occasion
ed tho disturbance. A number of the inhabi
tants Have been shot in tho contest. All the
m 'n ofw.-.r nr.* under arms all night ; their
boats manned and a cannonade in .each.
You imiy judge of the state of 111 place
without a government, exchange, money,
produce, or anything else of value. The
two chambers of Deputies were sitting nil
night with closed doors, nnd un immense
throng of poojjle awaiting the result of their
deliberations, the soldiery having demanded
a change of Ministry and tho banishment of
170 persons named by them. After sitting
36 hours, tho result of the labours was an
nounced in a proclamation of both houses,
calling on the poople to lay aside their anus
and preserve the public peace !
\Vo were in hopes to have sailed in all this
month, but there is no prospect at present;
nd we must wait with patience the result of
the revolt. At this critical moment there is
no produce in market, and I doubt if much
appears this mouth. The state of nffui s
here is wretched in tho extreme, no one will
pay his deb's, and there fs no huv to compel
payment; all the wealthy people are desirous
of leaving the place. Tlie black troops are
being removed from the city.
