MISCELLANEOUS. IGNEZ DE ( CASTRO. Few personages nre recorded in history who have been oftener celebrated t>y dramatic wri ters than this princess. There have been no less than five tragedies formed from her pitiful narrative, viz : two in English, one in French, one in Spanish, and one in Portuguese. The latter, perhaps, approaches nearer to the truth of history, and is not inferior in point of poeti cal merit. The author, Senhor Nicole Luis, had no occasion to resort !o fiction to heighten the passions of an audience, as the simple facts are sufficient to fill up all the scenes of pity and terror, and to show to what lengths love and re vengc arc capable of transporting the human mind. The subject of this tragical piece, is as fol lows :—Don Pedro, son of Alonzo the Fourth, King of Portugal, and heir apparent to the crown, having fallen in love with a lady of the court, named Donna Ignez de Castro, thought he could not share the crown which awaited him with a more amiable person. She united to all the charms of beauty the rtiost graceful and accomplished manners. The prince, wa ving all considerations of birth and fortune, was privately married to her by the Bishop of Guardn. Notwithstanding the nwptials were performed with till the secrecy imaginable, yet they reached the king’s year, who had premed itated u consort for Don Pedro in the King of Castillo’s daughter. lie questioned him as to the truth of the report, but the prince, knowing Ids father’s arbitrary disposition, thought it prudent then to conceal the fact. The nobility also hail intimation of the mar. riage, and the preference given to Ignez had awakened their jealousy. Hence they took every opportunity of representing her ns a wo man'of the greatest ambition, and pretended that very fatal consequences were to he appre hended from such an alliance : they also con demned the prince ns a rash and disobedient son. The king, who was a man of weak un derstanding, gave ear to their calumny, and they worked upon his passions to that degree, that he resolved to murder the unfortunate princess.— Accordingly he set out to perpetrate the horrid deed, accompanied by three ol his courtiers, ami a number of armed men, Donna Ignez at this time resided at Coimbra, in the palace ol Santa Clara, where she passed her time in the most private manner, educating her children, and attending to the duties of her domestic af fairs. The prince, unfortunately, was abroad on a hunting party, when the king arrived. The beautiful victim came out to meet him, with her two infant children, who clang about his knees, screaming aloud for mercy. She prostrates herself at his feet, bathes them with tears, and supplicates pity for her children, he seeching him to banish her to some remote des ert, where she would gladly wander an exile with her babes. The feelings of nature arrest, ed his arm, just raised to plunge a dagger into her breast. But his counsellors urging the nu cessity of her death, and reproaching him for his disregard to the welfare of the nation, he relapsed into his former resolution, and comman ded them to dispatch her ! at which they rushed forward, regardless of the cries ol innocence and beauty, and instantly struck off her head. Soon after the above transaction, the prince arrived; but, alas! found those eyes that were wont to watch his return with impatience, closed in death. The sight of his beloved Ignez, wel tcring in gore, filled his mind with distraction, and kindled every spark of revenge in his soul. In all the agony of rage, he called aloud on the avenging hand of heaven to punish these mon sters, who deprived him of all ho held dear up on earth. As soon as her remains were interred, he put himself at the head of an army, who sympathiz ed with his distress; they carried fire and sword through the adjacent provinces, and laid waste \ the estates of the murderers. The royal troops could not oppose them; they fled at the appear ancoofthe gallant avengers of innocence. But the king, wretched man! could not fly from him self; the cries of his grand children still echoed in his cars, and the bleeding image of their un fortunate mother was constantly before his eyes. Death at length commiserated his situation, and 'he expired full of repentance for his accumula ted crimes. Ho w'as an nndutjful son, an unna tural brother, and a cruel father. The prince now ascended the throne, in the 37th year of his ago. He no sooner obtained the power, than ho meditated to revenge the death of his beloved Ignez. The three murder ers, viz: Pedro Coello, Drogo Lopez Pacheo, and Alvaro Gonsalva, had fled into Castillo, pre vious to the death of the late king. The prince ordered them to bo tried on a charge of high treason, and being found guilty, their estates were confiscated. Next he contrived to seize their persons, by agreeing with the King ofCas tille that both should reciprocally deliver up the Portuguese and Castillian fugitives who sought protection in their respective dominions. Gon salva and Coello were accordingly arrested,an' 1 sent in chains to Portugal. Pacheo escaped in to France. The king was at Santarem when the delinquents w ere brought to him; he immo ; diately ordered them to be laid on a pyre that was previously formed, contiguous to which he . had a banquet prepared. Before the torch was kindled, and while they agonized at every pore, 1 under the most lingering tortures, their hearts f were cut out; one at his breast, the other at his back. Lastly, the pyre was set on ablaze, in presence of which he dined, while they evapor- E ated in the flames. I Having thus appeased his insatiable thirst of ’ revenge, he ordered his marriage with Donna - Ignez to he published throughout the kingdom ; then her body was taken out of the sepulchre, f covered with legal robes, and placed on a mag ’ nificent throne, around which his ministers as sembled, and did homage to their lawful Queen. > After this ceremony, her corpse was translated from Coimbra to Alcohaco, with a pomp hither. ; to unknown to the kingdom; though the distance between these two places is fifty two miles, yet ■ the road was lined on both sides, all the way, ' with people holding lighted tapers. The funer al was attended by all the noblemen and gentfe ‘ men in Portugal, dressed in lung mourning ’■ cloaks; their ladies also attended, dressed in white mourning veils. The cloud which the above disaster east over the mind of Don Pedro, was never totally dis persed; and as he lived in a state of celibacy the remainder of his life, according to his vow, 1 there was nothing to divert his attention from ruminating on the fate ofhis beloved spouse. — The impression her death made on him was strongly characterized not only in the tortures ho inflicted on her murderers, hut also in all the acts ofhis administration, which, from their se verity, induced some to give him the appella tion of Pedro the Cruel; by o’licrs ho was called Pedro the Just; and upon the whole, it appears that the latter title most properly appertained to him. The. French Army. —According to an official returnsof the French Army on the 10th Novem ber, it consists of the following corps:— 11 regiments artillery, 2448 men each 20,570 Pontoniers, artillery train, &c. 7,544 3 regiments’engineers, 2500 men each 7,500 i Wagon train, artificers, &c. 851 Military equipages 4,529 50 regimcnls of cavalry, I to 1050 each 54,040 67 regiments of the line, 3243 men each 217,081 21 regts of light infantry, 2404 men each 50,484 Totaf about 368,011 o Civilization and Barbarism, —What is civili zation ? Noah Webester says it is the “ state of being civilized —the state of being refined in manners.” What then is Refinement ?“ A nice i observance of the civilities of Social life,” says ; ho ; and thus the seeker ofthe definition vibrates like the pendulum of a clock between the two words, learning only that civilization is refinen ment, and that refinement is civilization. I Let us he perrrVittud to define a little. Civiliz ed people are those whose manners and customs are like our own, in whatever country we may 1 happen to bo born—and Barbarians are those whoso manners and customs arc different from our own. Here, for instance, a civilized man is one who wears breeches, hoots, a shirt, coat . and hat; who cats with a knife and fork, and drinks coffee or tea with his hreakfdst. Pass : to the hanks of the Arkansas, and the wigwams ■ of the West; and there the man is civilized who I wears a blanket—drinks water, {rum is the off , spring of civilization,) and sleeps on tile ground. ; There the civilized lady bores holes in her nose, t and suspends her ornaments to that very respect, i able organ —here the refined lady bores holes , in her cars fora srnilar purpose. What is there, abstractedly, more civilized in the cars than in I the nose ? And yet we laugh at the sip',aw in her blanket and with her nasal ornaments, and call , her a savage ! Again —Mr. Brown comes down from Buffalo > and meets his old friend, Air. Smith, in Broad, i way. Their right hands instantly meet, and a ■ violent shaking ensues. “ What are those men fighting about ?” says the dark son of tropical i Africa, to his white friend. “Fighting* pooh! They are o]d friends that have not met for a long • time, and they are expressing their good will ■ toward each other by shaking hands.” “What ’ barbarians ! whv in my country, When two 1 friends meet, they rub their noses together.” ■ “ What savages !” says the white man. I The ceremomonions Mr. Fitzgerald meets the i courtly Mr. Clarence, and each raises his heav. . er. “What docs that mean?” says Hassan j Qglou. “We nre saluting each other,” is the i reply. “ What a rdiculous custom,” says Has. 1 sail. “In my country, we salute by clapping • both hands on the forehead, and making a low , salaam.” “What barbarians!” exclaims the . Congees, “in my land, whenever two gentle : men meet, they snap the thumb and fore finger • together at each other. “ How ludicrous !”says ■ the white men. Spirit of common sense! will thou deign to tell us whether the manners and t customs of any one of the three are more re • diculous than those of the others. 1 The Persian pulls his meat to pieces with his 3 fingers, and eats horse flesh. “Shocking,” s says the New-Yorker, as he sets down to a - game dinner, to a dish of bear’s meat. —The t Indian cooks his rattle snake much to the horror • of brother Jonathan who breakfasts on stewed 1 eels. The Abyssinian cuts a steak from his - cow, sews the skin over the wound, and lets the . animal go about her business, till another fit of 1 hunger loads him to cut another slice. “The ■ unfeeling wretch !” cries the European butcher, - ns ho s'icks a pig in the throat, and looks com placently on the expiring gruntor. The Aloor -3 ish lady stains her hair and the ends of her fin- I gers with saffron. “Dear rnc how strange,” 3 says lady Barbara Belle, and away she goes to - her toilette, to rouge fc r the evening bid I. The , Chinese woman corrfpresses her feet into the - length ofa paper of tobacco. The fair peri r> patetic of Broadway laughs at the absurd cus i tom, and screws her waist to the dimensions of s a Spanish clear. The Turk goes to market c and buys half a dozen wives.—“ The bruit!” i- exclaims the civilized beauty of fashionable e life, and marries the richest suitor that she can it find. i- Now then, have we not satisfactorily proved, d j that civilization consists in our way of doing) things,—find that barbarism consists in other people’s way of doing tilings. Let common sense answer. — N. I'. Standard. Ji ii ■ 331 \V HERE AS the Trustees 7 of the Academy of Richmond County, have given notice that they will lease the South Common on the first Tuesday in February inst. und whereas the said S. Common is of right the property ol the city ol Augusta, & has not been leased for enclosure or cultivation but with the consent of the citizens of Augusta, and by special Legislative enactment, neither of which has been obtain ed to authorize the enclosure or cultivation of said com mon. ' And whereas the City Council believe that the en closure and cuhivalion of the said South common will prove injurious to the health ol the citizens generally. Sec. Ist. lie it therefore ordained by the City Council of Augusta, that it shall not beTlawful for any person or persons to make any fence or enclosure by ditch or other wise in any part of the common ot Augusta, Wr, uth of Watkins Street. Sec. 2. And be it further ordained, that any person who shall make any enclosure or pari of enclosure un der any pretence or in any manner or form whatsoever, shall he lined in a sum not exceeding one hundred dol lars, for each and every dfty such enclosure, part ol en closure, fence or obstruction shall remain. Sec. 3. And be it further ordained, that each & every fence, ditch, enclosure, part of enclosure or obstruction, shall he considered a nuisance and it shall he the duty ol the city Marshall and all other officers ol council, to abate such nuisance, by removing any fence or other oh structions made or found on any part of the said common Wouth of Watkins Street. Done in Council the 2d day of Feb. 1833. SAiWUEL HALE. By the Mayor Mayor of the city of Augusta. Geo. M. IV'ai.kek. Clerk. to 'Tens miiiic. npHE controversy between the City, and the Trus ■ tees of the Academy, having become one of some interest to the citizens, the Ciry Council have deemed it advisable to give this short notice to the public, of their reasons for the above Ordinance, and the necessity which called for it. The City Council have been advised and believed, that when Augusta was laid out. and planned by the pro. prietory government, the common was defined and ap pended to the town, for the common benefit of the lot holders, and citizens, ns the word “ town common,” itself seems to import. That being thus appropriated to the public, or com mon use of the citizens, this right has never been taken from them by the legislature, or abandoned by them selves'. Nor has any net hern passed interfering with the right of common in the citizens, except at their own request, w for thqir supposed benefit. That tho power to lease given to the trustees, was to lease for years, and lias long since expired, and, being then givun to promote the health of the city, at the requestor the citizens, should not now he exercised, when experience has shewn that the enclosure would most probably be injurious to the health ot the city, and is therefore opposed to the wishes ol the citizens. That the City Council, have not abandoned the rights of the citizens-by paying for a few years for their own property, in ignorance or negiect ol the rights of the citizens, which they failed until recently to investigate. That this neglect is I»-ss extraordinary than the un warrantable assumption of a fee simple title in the trus tecs, when in fact they never were appointed any thing more tf.an the mere agents of the stale to lease. That the trustees are themselves conscious that they have no legal title to the common, is sufficiently man iteste-l by the desperate step recently takcp by jhem, ot causing the common to be run out as vacant Lanu y under the law securing head rights. The City Council acting only as the guardians oftHo rights of the citizens, expect their reasonable co-opora tion in the maintainance of their rights.

The Stale Rights* Doct.Hues ns contended for by the best expounders of the Constitution arc those we avow; we hold that each state h.

The Gone r ul Government too, must move within its legitimate sphere, carefully observing what powers it may exercise—what are reserved to tiie respective sovereignties and what have not been granted. While here, we remark that we arc uncompromising Union men, and feel and consider ourselves identified with all those that now rally under the standard of the twenty.four slates, whatever minor distinctions may, heretofore, have separated us. As respects the parties in Georgia, too, we have a word to say.—We have acted with perfect satisfaction to ourselves, with the Republican party.

MICOU, P. m; February 5 G7 PROPOSALS FOll ENLARGING AND IMF ROVING THE SOUTHER** BAN2TER, A Paper now published Weekly in Athena, Geo. rHIIIB rapid increase of population, wealth and Inlel ■ ligcnce of Western Gi:oroia, have prompted tha Editors of the ** Southern Banner,” in order to keep pace with the improvement of the limes—to lay before their friends mid patrons, the following proposals: They intern! about the first of February next, to publish tlie “ Banner” on a largo imperial sheet—not inferior in size or style of execution, to any now published in the State —for the accomplishment of which purpose, they have ordered from New-York an entire new set of inate j rials. , 'flic Editors deem it unnecessary at this late day, to enter into a minute detail of their political creed—they would deem it but a work of supererogation. Suffice it to say, their best efforts will always be directed (by dis ; seminating correct principles, religious, moral and political) to the advancement of the interest, honor and happiness of the people—particularly that portion of them comprising the Western and North Western sec. lion of the State ; and to whom they mainly look for pat- | t ronago and support. d The patronage of the Banner is now respectable, but <1 not sufficient to meet the increase of expenditure that j e must necessarily occur, in effecting the improvements t- contemplated. They are sanguine, however, in the hope, that a liberal public will yield to their efforts, that ,j support and encouragement, upon which they alone 4 | must rely, for the successful accomplishment of an tin* e— dsrtaking so responsible. H TERMS. The price of subscription will be the same as hero- # to fore—Vi/.: $3,00 per annum, in advance, or $4,00 if payment is delayed until after the year expires. As an inducement to our friends to exert themselves for us, we offer to give a copy of the Banner for every c * ten responsible names forwarded by any one individual, 1,1 Letters, post paid, addressed to the Editors, or to 3 ' I't VnnoN Chase, Publisher, will receive prompt attention. **■ ' ALBON CHASE* * * ALFRED M.
