After more titan a year of expectation, the Extraordinary Tribunal, composed of Russian Generals and Magistrates of Poland, and inslitn. tod tor the purpose ot trying the principal actors in the Polish revolution, has at last pronounced judgment. It is far more rigorous than was thought it would be. The members of the Gov. eminent am condemned to death, without ex cepting even tlie Generalissimo Skrzyneckt, though lie only f ■rtned partol the Council in ex traordinary cases. No notice is taken ol the second Generalissimo, Prince Michael Radzi vill, This indulgence is attributed to the inter cession ot the Court of Prussia, to which this Prince’s family is related. The venerable Vin cent Nieinojowski is the only member of the Government now in the country to whom this barbarous sentence applies. All the r*st have sought refuge abroad. This heroic old man is, then, the only victim left for the tribunal 1 “On ihe publication ot ilia sentence, Prince Paskewitsch, the Russian Viceroy, caused Nie inojowski to be brought before him, loaded with chains., and proposed to him to implore the Em peror’s clemency, but the noble old man disdain fully rejected tins counsel. We know,however, from an authentic source, that Prince Paske witsch asked the Emperor’s pardon for Niemo jowski, attributing his obstinacy in refusing to ask for it himself, to mental alienation, the con sequence ot the sufferings he had endured in his dungeon. The same sentence condemns to death all those filling public si'uations before the revolu tion who took part in the regency of Zakroczym. The catalogue of these is very large, for it comprehends those deputies who were enlisted among the public functionaries. The kind of punishment varied also according to the degree of culpability. Some were to perish by the sword, others by the gibbet,and the judges have stretched their barbarity so far, ns to order the previous mutilation ofthose youths, who gave the signal lor the revolution, by attacking the Chateau dc Belvedere. Sentence of death against Prince Adam Czar, ton/ski. — After having dwelt upon Ihe different motives of the charges brought against the five members of the national Polish Government, M. Iloklenowski, the General Procurator, con tinned in impeaching the Prince Adam Czartoy. ski. President of that Government. “ The case of Prince Adam Czarloryski,” he said, “is such as to imply of itself still more culpability. The higli station that the Prince held in his country, the eminence of his birth, his large fortune and extensive connexions, his accomplishments and talents, which he was generally known to possess, have proved to be the principal cause that at the moment the revo lution broke out the conduct of Prince Czartory ski was looked upon by many as an example for imitation by them—an example of which be un fortunately gave but too unequivocal a proof, when, being elected head of the soi disant na tional Government, in his speech addressed to the two united Chambers, on the 28th of Janua ry, ho expressed his thanks for the high mark of confidence placed in him, and was at the same time encouraging his countrymen to maintain, to the utmost of their power, the cause of the in surrection. “ It is thus that individuals whom fortune has been favoring so as to insure their influence over the masses of the population, become the more culpable by abandoning the path of their duty. “’1 heso, no less than the holding of office of President ot the snidisanl national Govern ment of Poland by Prince Czartoryski, arc of themselves sufficient toesfahlish a charge against him pursuant to the 24th article of the penal code, even with aggravating circumstances,” Slc. It is known that the sentence passed on that illustrious patriot was that of death. [Ftom the same, of A ng. 22.] The following affair, which presents singular circumstances, lately took place at Catanea, in Sicily :—“ln most of the Sicilian towns, where robbers are unmet ons and daring, the rich, and principally the nobles, are accustomed to depos it at some monastery, as a place of safety, large sums of money, of which they have no; imme diate need. Thus, Count C. had secretly sent an enormous iron chest to the Convent of St. Claire. The rumor of it was, nevertheless, spread in the town, and a band of robbers re bel veil to make themselves master* of this trea sure. The difficulty was to find a favorable op portnnitv. After having long watched, one pre sented itself. The stock of wood in the Convent was exhausted, and it became necessary to have a I'resh supply. In such cases the abbess applied to the bishop, and one of the grand vicars of the prelate purchased the wood, and sent it to the convent in (tie charge of a carter, in whom he placed confidence. This man was alone to un load the \< ood, and stow it, in the presence of the ziteila, or servant maid of the convent. The wood house was situated in the garden of the convent, the gate of which it was necessary to open. While the carter was unloading the wood a porter offered to help him, without any other reward than a glass of wine. The ziteila, wish ing to get through the task as quickly as possi ble, imprudently accepted the oiler, notwith standing the strict prohibition to employ any stranger. When the work was done, she ran to the convent to fetch the wine she had promised. At her return the porter had disappeared. The carter knew not what had become of him, but said he supposed lie was tired of wailing, and had gone away. The ziteila felt some suspicion, but alter having well examined the wood house, si c shut the door and the garden gate, and car ried brick the keys to the abbess. After sapper, one of the nuns looking out of a window, ima gined that she saw a man gliding among the trees in the garden, she told the ziteila of it; hut the latter, fearing that she should be pun ished for her negligence, endeavored to make the nun believe it was fancy, and took cure not to mention her suspicions, because she thought that even if there was a man in the garden, the thick w alls and grated windows insured safety to the convent. II owever, she resolved to keep a good look out, and when she had retired to her cell, she opened her window, and posted herself near it, watching with her eyes and ears. After a I,>nor time, neither seeing nor hearing any thing, s |, e °resolved to go to bed, but her anxiety pre- Rented her sleeping. On a sudden she thought she heard whispering. She ran to her window :md was terribly alarmed on perceiving close be neath it seven “or eight men, who were speaking in a low voice. She listened attentively, and heard the conversation in which she hersed was mentioned. She was thunderstruck at learn ing the i retended porter, who, without doubt, had taken advantage of the moment when the nuns were at supper to enter the convent, was concealed under the bed of the abbess, whom he was to seize and strangle, il she uttered the least cry to give alarm, instead of ransoming herself | by declaring w here the Count's iron chest was deposited, and giving up (lie keys of the convent. The ziteila seeing the imminent danger in which her superior was placed, determined to ring the great bell of the convent, the customary signal in monastic houses to give alarm, and which must infallibly bring succour. On her way to the steeple, she heard the bell of the abbess, and feeling that to save her life there was not a mo. ment to lose, she hastened her steps. After a few seconds the great hell sounded. At this noise, the robbers who were in the garden, find ing themselves discovered, took to flight precipi lately, leaving their accomplice behind them.— The latter, not being able to find the keys, could not escape, and had no other resource than hid ing himself in some corner of the monastery. — The inhabitants of the town soon hastened in crowds to the gates of the convent, to afford the assistance that might be necessary. Having learned what was the matter, they surrounded th# house at all points, and awaited the arrival of the magistrates and the armed force. The gates were then opened, and a search made which was long fruitless. At length, the male factor was discovered, seized, and delivered up to justice.” From the Baltimore American. The present attitude ofSpatn, whose regener. ation may be confidently looked for under its new political constitutional organization, attracts to it the attention of the rest of the civilized world and gives interest to authentic informa tion relating to its people and soil. A statist!, cal work on Spain has recently been published in France, by a writer represented to be worthy of credit for intelligence and accuracy. The ancient races and those of the middle ages, from which the population of Spain is des tended, are singularly numerous and various.— The native races are seven in number, the for eign eleven, embracing the Phcniciar.s, Greeks, Carthagenians, Romans,Vandals, Sueves, Goths, Alins, Arabians, Moors and Normans. All these have become so intermingled as to leave only in a few provinces traits characteristic of any one, and from their union has been produced a people unsurpassed by any on the earth in na live qualities, physical and mental. Tho population in Spain amounted in 1803 to ten millions, in 1826 to nearly sis een. In 1803 the classification of its inhabitants was as fol lows : Clergv, ..... 203,298 ’ Nobility 1,440,000 ’ Offi-ers, civil and military, . 343,047 Law yers, Notaries, Students, . 199,366 1 Army,'navy and mariners, . . 590.000 1 Domestics, .... 840,376 ‘ Merchants and Traders, . . 103,017 Manufacturers, .... 119,250 Mechanics, .... 813,967 Peasants and laborers, . . 5,600,000 M. Moreau de .Tonnes, (he author of the work, states, that in Spain one person out of three works: the other two do nothing. From this may be inferred what progress she will make in the arts and attainments of civilization, when by the improvement of her internal politics, the men tal and physical resources ot her people and soil shall be developed. lie sets down the total revenue o'” Spain at, two hundred and fifty millions of dollars, about two thirds of w hich arise from agriculture.— The cost of agricultural productions absorbs on ly half of the amount produced, while in Franc* it absorbs three fourths of it. The revenue of the Clergy is fifty five millions of dollars. The number of the nobility has been much re duced since the beginning of this century. In some provinces, however, lor example Biscay and the Asturias, nearly all the population is noble ; many head servants and coachmen be long by descent to this order. Some of the first class of the nobility possess immense landed 1 property. Spain was the first country in Europe in which participation in public affairs was extended to i the people. The first mention of deputies from towns to the Cortes of Castilleis as far hack as the year 1188. In Aragon a lew years earlier, ■ being in 1163. In Germany deputies from the imperial cities were not admitted to the German p diet until 1293. In England there is no evidence of the admission of the Commons to parliament ■ before 1265. In France the participation of the towns in the States General dates only from 1303. Originally the right of voting belonged to all citizens domiciliated in the towms ; but under the pretext of avoiding tumult, it was afterwards restricted to the corporations. The Cortes voted the taxes, and a solemn act passed in 1465 prescribed that no tax should be levied without their previous consent. This law was executed until the reign of Charles V. who at first eluded it, and afterw’ards openly vio. lated it. It was trampled on by Philip I]., and thence forward the government of Spain was a despotism. It was the institution of the Cortes, supported hy the infranchisement of the villages and the privileges ofthe cities, which prevented Spain from continuing longer than down toffie eleventh century under the poke of the feudal system like the natives ofthe North of Europe. The people were never completely reduced to servitude by the nobles. And it was only at the accession of the House of Austria that they lost entirely their liberties. It is worthy of remark that the deputies of the people were instructed by their constituents and paid by them for attendance. [From the Baltimore American.] In noticing some days ago the project of a rail road from Memphis to Savannah and Augusta, we referred to the plan ol another, destined to start from Memphis in the south west corner of Tennessee and travetsing the whole length of the Stale diagonally, to strike the Virginia line at the north east corner. We have now before us a Report ot Col. S. H. Long, U. S. Topographical Enginaer, upon this route, which he regards as a portion of a grand route, extending from the head ofthe Chesapeake Bay to the Mississippi River. By an examination of the tnap it will be perceiv. ed that this route runs with the Alleghany ridges, and that the range of valleys, (remarkable for fertility) formed by them which passes through Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, enters Tennessee at the point above indicated. This course seems to he marked by nature for a line of communication between the centre ofthe Atlan tic States and those ot the south* est, and, by the name ofthe Guyandolte route, is that now taken by most travellers between those regions of the United States. The line within the State of Tennessee is more than half the whole distance from .Memphis to Baltimore, being 510 miles. From the Virginia and Tennessee boundary to Harper’s Ferry is 394 miles, and from Harper’s ferry to this city 85, making altogether 999 miles. A rail-road is in progress from Harper’s ferry to Winchester, and surveys have been extended from the latter place through the great valley of Virginia to Tennes. see. The sum now paid by the United States for transporting the mail this whole distance, at the slow rate of seventy miles per day, is the interest of more three millions of dollars; and Col. Long justly remarks, that the General Go. vernment would be a gainer by contributing double this amount for the construction of a rail-road which would carry the mail two hundred miles i per day. “The range of the Alleghany moan- | tains,” says Col. Long, “wh’ch is pervaded al. most throughout its whole extent hy this route has been very appropriately called the backbone | I efthe United States: the contemplated railroad mny with equal propriety be denominated its spina! marrow, alike essential to the protracted vitality of our confederacy.” IM"— —a———B AIffCFtJBTA, SA.

We continue our remarks upon the amend ment of the State Constitution, proposing to change the annual for biennial elections and meetings es the Legislature. One of the objections expressed against an nual elections, is the excitement which they create. We admit that elections create excite ment, and are productive of much mischief.— Will biennial elections remedy the evils, by re moving the causes of them ? We believe not.— On the contrary, with biennial elections, the ex citement will acquire a double intensity by the lunger time which the human passions will have to exercise their sway. With annual elections the excitement is over as soon as the polls are closed, and is generally renewed only a few months before the day of elections. With bien nial elections, the campaigns will open the mo ment that one is determined ; and the reasons are obvious. The parties having a longer period to organise themselves, an 1 to make proslytes, will begin early tlicir political manoeuvres a mong the people. Those parties will com mencc in those counties where they have less influence ; so that every county in the Slate will be invaded by the active agents of the res pective parties. With annual elections the op posing parties have not time to discipline their followers, so as to bring into the field an imbro ken phalanx ; there is always more or less tin certainty as to the result of the elections. With biennial elections, opposing ourtics will have time to discipline their followers, and, especially, to confirm th.m in the principles of the parties to which they respectively belong. If constan cy to party principles, whether right or wrong, and firmness in adhering to the fortunes of a party, can be desired in Georgia; then biennial elections will operate these objects, because more time will be given to the intriguer, and cunning, and designing, to work on men’s minds, by flattering their ambition, and their vanu ty, by promising political advancement, and by insuring the gratification of all political de sires in the ascendency of the party to which they are attached. It will happen that men, who have doubts of the soundness of the political principles of the party they support, will, never, theless, act with it, and exert their influence for it,because theyanticipate success at the elections, at the same time that they calculate on the hen. efits which they promised themselves. With biennial elections political combinations may be formed which may prove highly detrimental to the public peace, and injurious to our public in stitutions ; and those combinations may place in the hands of a few individuals, an influence and a power which cannot be resisted but after a complete change in the organization and disci pline of the parties then in existence. With annual elections all this is otherwise. There is no time for the complete organization and discipline of parties; therefore, voters go to the polls with a more independent spirit, they do not f. el themselves absolutely bound to give their suffrage according to the dictates of their parties. If the principles of a party are founded in truth and in wisdom, the followers of this party will never hesitate to give their support ; but if doubts exist as to the soundness and truth of the principles, party organization and discipline cannot, in a few months, lead the voters astray, so as to support a party the princi ples of which are not recommended by truth and wisdom ; they will go to the polls with less par tisan zeal and attachment, and vote more in ac cordance with their consciences. It may be answered, that the elections are frequently deci ded by the manceuvres practised on the day of elections. We admit that many votes arc chan, ged on that day. But this does not subvert the position we have assumed. Can intelligent men, possessing a nice sense of discrimination, be made to change in a few hours by the insinua lions and artful misrepresentations of party lead ers ? We believe not. Who then can be made to change ? Those that would change at any time and under any circumstance. If we have biennial elections in Georgia, par ties will be formed and organized, to which th« members will adhere with zeal and the utmost j constancy, without regarding principles, nor the effects those parties may respectively have on I the future prosperity of the State. No matter how wrong and injudicious the measures of a party may be, organization and discipline will insure a concentrating influence in all its pro ceedings. While, with annual elections, no ’ compact bodies ot men can he formed to as to , act with perfect unanimity. If such parties as . are here described are desirable, then let us adopt the amendment proposed ; but if parties, . animated by principles atone, should exist, in or i der to produce the salutary effect of inducing the > citizens to keep a constant vigilance over their civil and political rights, then it is our firm con viction, that annual elections can best accomplish ■ that object. I Before we conclude this branch of the subject under review, we will add one more remark.— Our legislators are not infallible ; they can, as ! others have done before them, pass injurious.and unconstitutional laws. Where is the remedy, ’ if we have biennial elections, and meetings of the legislature ? Must the people sustain for two years the injury produced by those laws ? If the laws passed are unconstitutional, the judi ciary may Interpose. But before it interposes, > much injury may he sustained by the people, and who will repair it ? The Governor will have the • power to convene the Legislature, in cases of emergency. But what legislature would he convene ? The same legislature which passed tho injurious laws. Thus, considered in another ( point of view, biennial elections and meetings of the legislature, cannot fail to produce evils which ' may become irremediable. We are, therefore, i for continuing the present system, and against | biennial elections, even if we were certain to i have no other men but the equals ot Solon and i Aristides for our representatives in the legisla ture. O’ la an advertisement of Mr. Spragens, it will be seen that he possesses the exclusive right, in the State of Georgia, of vending Stag ner’s invention for the cure of Hernia. To this advertisement are appended several certificates, from persons who have been cured, and from several physicians of Warrenton, in our State. The certificates should have great weight with the public, as being from, citizens of respectabili ty and high standing in the community. We are acquainted with most of them, and we can say that the utmost dependence can he placed in their statements. We express ourselves thus, merely to rendei justice to Mr. Spragens, and to assist him in the object he has undertaken, relying implicitly on the recommendation of the citizens of Warrenton, who have used Stagner’s inven tion. In support of those certificates, we copy from the National Intelligencer of last Septem ber, the following extract, from a communica tion relating to the invention in question. [From the National Intelligencer, of Sept. 17.] Drs. Maxwell and Roman arrived in tins city a short time ago, with Stagner’s new invented i instrument for the cure of the different forms ot Hernia. I examined the principle, and, approv ingot it, caused one to be applied to myself; and found that It reached completely the seat of the di.-ease. which none of the trusses that I have seen (and I have sought for every new invention; , can, from their construction, possibly do. From the improvement thiil has alieady, to my great surprise, taken place in my situation, and Irom the indisputable testimony of respectable persons. . who have been permanently cured in fewer months than I have worn a truss pears, I have no doubt but that, with proper attentionjaud perseverance on the part of the patient, adhesion of the parts • will lake place in a very short time, and a con. i sequent cure be effected ; and not only a care, hut the parts will he rendered stronger titan be. fore the injury, except where an actual descent of ' the intestines has taken place in males, and has t continued so long that, fiom adhesion, or other causes, they cannot be returned to thei' original situation. ’ It should be observed that Drs. 31. and R. do not go about selling trusses that may or may not have any good effect, as has heretofore been the , practice. They undertake the care itself, and I adapt an instrument to each particular case, (a mode common sense would point out, one would ’ think, where the human form, and the location of the injury, varies so much,) and are so well assu r red ot the result, that they rest their compensa tion on the completion of the cure.
