• MIS ELLANEOUB *M> • ITERARY
Hint to wives.—l had lo> some tim
lately been ia the habit of giving iosturctions
op the German flute to Mr Sperling, a
gentleman who had retired from business
with a handsome fortune, and who, though
a widower of sixty years of ao*», had Imd
the courage to take for a second wife a
buxom young widow of thirty. They lived
tolerably well together for a time. Their
harmony was, however, at length, interrup
.ed by the clatter of the lad ,s tongue,
j which was incessantly exerted to in
. duce her spouse to make his will, not only
in her favor, but in her presence also.
Tiie good man being desirous to avoid 1
as Congreve says, “that eternal rotation
of tongue which never gave even an echo
fair play,” was induced to comply with her
desire, and, taking her with trim to his
solicitor, bequeathed to her his whole
j fortune. The lady, in consequence was
for a short period in good humor and full
ofsoirit; hut, alas! through the ingtabilly of
human affairs, she at length assumed an in
creased tone of violence and imlependancp,
and, in the climax of one vfhei curtain lec
tures, observed to her husband, that as she
was n> w provided for, lie might die as soon
as he pleased. Tltis expression, making a
powerful impression on the nuod of Mr.
Sperling, he, ?s soon as bieakfir-t was ended
the following morning, repaired to his soli
citor ‘Wb-ii!’ -a i H the lawyer, gr.itly surpri
sed ‘hvae you forgotten tha' you made your
will six months agol” “That was my
wifi-.s will,’’ replied th« client, “and now f
am come to make my own.’’ He then
cancelled bis former testament, and by a
new one divid 'd the bulk of his property
(nine hundred a year) among his relations,
ad ’- his kind rib issgned an anmii'v of
<wn hundred pounds.— Park s Musical

A NA RO ESCAPE.
In the arinrinistretioo of criminal justice
we are informed, that the following circum
stances occurred. A young man had been
arrested, on the chaige of knowingly pass
ing a counterfeit bank note—the grand ju
ry had found it tiue bill against him—and
he was placed on nis trial. The evidence
■it support of the prosecution was strong;
‘henoia had been passed in a way to cre
ate suspicion, the prisoner's explanations
v- ere embarrassed and unsatisfactory; and i
; hlp doubt seemed to lemnin of bis convic
’> n; site evidence whs closed excepting the
t iruination of a clerk of the bank on
vtdcli the forgery was supposed to have
'men committed, ‘'nr the purpose of showing
bat the note was spurious. The court
w-re detained a short time, he at length
“lived, (lie note was placed in his hands,
examined it carefully, and pronounced
t mod. The accused was of course ire
ediatoly acquitted.
DEATH OF BOLIVAR.
IVe have been politely favored by a com
mercial friend (say Hie editors of he Nor- !
folk Beacon) with Cl ’s of the Kingston Ja
maca Courant and Cornwall Chronicle,
nearly regular series from 30th N*-v. to Bth
J .n. inclusive. Toe Courant of 6th Jan.
contains the offi< ial announcement of (he
death of Si non B divar, the Liberator of
South America from the yoke of Spain. j
Tiie inelaocb ly event (for such regard
it) is contained in a proclamation issui-d by
Don Juan de Francisco do Martin, Pie-'
feet of the Department, to the citizens of
Magdalena, dated Chrthagena Dec. 21,
1831. H * died on the 27th of that mouth
at 1 p. m. rs suppose (tho’ it is not stated.)
at the Camp of Hacienda, a league from
Santa Martha, as his valedictory address to
the Colombians dated 10th of that month,
is issued from the Camp The anounce
ment is full of feeling and that sincere sor
row, which the loss of so distinguished a
hero and patriot naturally inspires.
PROM THE CHARLESTON PATRIOT.
Coppy right. —The biil before Congress
amending the latv of copy rights, provides
for the extension of the term es 28 years,
to living authors, with a further right of 14
years to their descendants. Now, why
should the absurd prejudice that the author
is not entitled to the fee of his intellectual
property be etnhodied in a law of the A*
nterican congress! Where is the distinction
between a right acquired by physical and
mental exertion?—Why should the fruits
of intellectual labour not descend in per
petuity to the children of an author as well
ns the acquisitions of mere mechanical in
dustry? Society has no right to exdit'an
equivalent like this for the protection it af
fords to the property of an author.
The reasoning by which the distinction
between bodily and mental labor is suppor
ted, in legislating on this subject is unsound
Knowledge is not promoted by fixing a
limit of time to the rights of authorship.
The incentives to exertion would be in
creased under the legal assurance that our
descendants would enjoy the benefits of
our labours, whatever line of life or exer
tion they might take. We are satisfied it
is all assumption that society is benefitted
by the limitation in question. The would
be no waut of good books, if readers are
disposed to pay for them. Thtii multipli
cation would bo in ihe ratio of the demand.
On the contrary, gen ; us would be tasked to
udertakc moro useful toils tinder a diffur
ot arrangement. There stimulus of the
>ve of kindred would be superadded to the
Itier motive of tire desire ol distinction.
• >t» instincts of nature would have the
• uie free play in increasing the amount oj
*°cial power in this department of exertion
that they have in every other.
Why should tiie knowledge which is
embodied iu books be subject to a different
arrangement io what obtains for oilier
kinds nf intelligence? Is tli"re not a vast a
rnount of information afloat in the world
by which the wealth, the comfort, the pow
er and the luxury of society are increased,
which cannot bosepuated from practical
skill, and which augments, with social
wants? Are the various combinations of
• mind, by which the pursuits of the mer
chant, the lawyer and the physician are di
rected, the subject to a different natural
' law to tho Associations which guide the
mental operations of tho author? The whole
stock < f out improvements fall within the
classification of mental labour, whatever
name ors nm tliuy may take. Now does
tho amount of the information that cannot
find its way into hooks—which cannot be
separated from the experimental efforts
with which it is combined, increase the
slower by leaving the natural affections
their whole swing and impulse to guide and
iuioel us forward in the path of improve
ment? IVo should say that knowledge of
every kind would augment in a greater ra
tio if that which is embodied in books were
left to tho stimulus of this principle, aided
by 'he love of future renown anl the pas
sion for present distinction.
Washington, Fab. 1, 1831.
Dear Sir: —The editorial remarks con
tained iu tiie Augusta Chronicle of the 26th
ult. on the subject of the next gubernatori
al election, in connexion tvith numerous
letters which I have received trom citiamis
residing ia different parts of the state,
must plead mv apology to my friends and
fellow citizens, for publicly assigning a sow
of the leading considerations which have
infl e nced me, in declining to accede to
■ their wishes.
| First—There is already confided to me,
for two years yet tocotne, an important of
ficial trust, by the direct suffrage of the peo
plu. To abandon tint tiust will not meet
the approbation of some of those who con
ferred it.
Secondly—The conviction of my own
mind is, that under ail the circumstances
connected with the political intorest of the
8 ate, f have more prospect, at present, of
being useful to it in niy present situation,
than in any other.
Thirdly—ln the present posture in which
; wc find the important interests of Georgia,
instead of pursuing a course which might
tend to embitter party animosities, and en*
! gender new strifes, it is my most ardent
r dosiro to soe the whole people of Georgia
united on the great subjects of political in
terest, and principle, which are inseparably
connected with liberty, and the perpetua
tion of our Federal Union. “The Fe 'or
al Union must be preserved. ’ And it can
only be done, by tho general and stale go
vernments confining themselves within
their respective constitutional spheres.
Georgia must maintain her sovereignty and
jurisdiction over the ontire population with
in her chartered limits Au attempt to a
bridge, or deprive a state of tins right,
would beau obvious, gross and palpible
violation of the constitution, which would
be corrected by the people of the whole
Union, before euduiance could bocotue in
tolerable.
I im duly impressed with a sense of the
delicacy of my present situation, and
■scarcely dare to hope, that I shall steei
clear of the censure of all. Hu' I feel >s
sored, that if my motives could be read by
all, that which could not be approved,
would at least be forgiven.
I am under abiding obligations to all
those kind friends, who hive sustained me
through a long course of public service.
To merit a continuance of their kindness
and confidence, zeal and fidelity to their
interests shall not be wauliug, to the end
of my course
Very respectfully, your nb’t serv’t.

SIX DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. j
By the arrival of the packet snip Na
poleon, Captain Smith, from Liverpool,
whence she sailed early on the morning of
the 26'h December, we have received our
regular files of London papers to 24th.
Sentence or the French ex Ministers.
The following is ihe sentence of the Ex
Ministers, which was read to them at the
Castle of Vincennes, at II o’clock on
Tuesday night:—
Precisely at ten o’clock, the pu’ lie sit
ting of the Court of Peers was resumed.—
The President and Peers occupied theii
usual seats. The Commissioneis of the
Chamber of Deputies were also in me
places allotted for them. The accused
were absent, lyjt their couusel were all in
Court. But very few persons were in the
tribunes. The President, in a voice of
deep omoiiuu, pronounced the following
sentence:
“The Court of Peers, after deliberation,
in persuance of the resolution of the Cham
ber of Deputies, have heard the Commis
sioners of that Chamber for the accusation,
and accused in their defence :
“Considering that by the ordinances of
the 15• h of July, the Constitutional Char
tor of 1814, the Electorial Laws, and (hose
securing tire liberiy of the press, were
manifestly violated, and that the Rojnl
Power thereby usuiped the functions of
the Legislature :
I “Considering that ultuough the todrvi-
VOLUME I. NO 20
dual will of Cuarles X. may have i. flu*
Oticeii the determination of the accused,
the circumstances cannot relieve th m from
their legal responsibility;
‘‘Considering that it appears from the
proceedings, Augueste Jules Armim: Ma

13 h Article of the Charter of 1814, conn*
unsigned the ordinances of the 25th July,
the illegality of which they thorns.-Ives ac
knowledge; that they took eveiy me aus to
enforce the -execution of them ; and that
they advised tlm King to declare the city
in a state of siege, in order to
arms the legitimuie residence of the citi
zens ;
“Considering that these acts constitute

the 56th Article of the Charter of 1825 T
“Declare* le Prince de Polignac. Io

and le Comte de Guornon R nville, guilty

court is therefore under the necessity of
supplying the deficiucy;
“According thoTtli Article of the penal
Code, v hich classes transportation (1) a

“According to the 17th Article of tho

to be for life ;
“According to the 18ili Article, which
declares that transpotHtinn involves civil
death, and the 25th Artic'e of the Code
Civile, which regulates the consequences

“Considering that there is not any place,
out of tho continental dominions nf France,
to which criminals sentenced to transpo.ua*
tton can be taken and detained;
' “Coudemns le Prince de Polignac to ba
imprisoned for life in the continental do*
minions of the kingdom; declares him de
prived of his title, rahk, and orders, de
clares him civilly dead $ all the other con*
siqneuces of transportation remaining in
Yorcn as regulated by the articles before
mentioned.
“Considering tho facts of the case as
appearing from the procuodings.
“Condemns le Comte P- yroiw-t,

STILL LATER. *
Bv the arrival yesterday of the packet
ship Canada, Caot Graham, from Liver*
pool, whence shesailed on sth January, we
have received part of our files of papers
including London papers nf 1-t, 2d, 3d aud
♦h J in. and Liverpool of Me sth idem.
The four ex-ministers were removed on
the night of 29 December from Vine m.es,
to be transferred to the fortress of Ham, ia
Picardy, thereto undergo their sentence of
perpetual|imprisnument.
The British Parliament adjourned oo
the holidays, from 22d December to 3d
February we believe. Nothing of politi*
cal importance has transpired in England.
On the subject of reform in Parliament,
loudly called for from all parts of the Bri
tish Empire, the ministers are said to be di*
| vided, some advocating a more sweeping
I measure than others Among the moder
ates the Premier is Darned, as well as th©
Duke of Richmond and Palmerston they
must come to an understanding,elj. we shall
i hear of resignations-—the dial in Parlia
' ment is yet to take place
The trials of the rioteres and machine
breakers iu the South of England, before
I the special Commissioners, have nearly
terminated, and the- administration papers
| praise the lenity of the Government—the
patience and mildness of the judges, as we!)
as the forbearance and wisdom of th©
Crown advocates. Out of many convicted
—a few examples, it is said, will be made
to have a salutaiy effect upon misguided
men, by chutioning them against acts of vi
olence for the future. It does not appear
from the evidence aduced, that any thing
like a conspiracy existed in the country,
nor any political disaffections as Lord Wel
lington believed—with the exception of
one single case, said to have beeu excited
by a lecture o 1 Cobbett’s. The great dis
tress among the operatives and agricultural
laborers in the disturbed counties, appears
too plainly; the cause us riots seem to have
proceeded from the low rates of wages—
the djspnir of a famishing population, drove
them to the ineffectual remedy of destroy,
ing machinery. The sympathy of the E.%
glish nation must be strongly excited in t «-
half of the deluded sufferers—their ermri
and crimes arose more from hanger tIiAU
malices
