OUR SISTER PROVINCE.

| PENSACOLA, january 2i.-it appears thai
Mr.. WorthiDgton, acting Governor, Sc. has
cxeried himself in soliciting some of the mem
hers of Congress To look 10 the interests oi
East Florida, in the great national legislature
He has appealed to Mr.. Finckney, Ut the Sc
nate, and Mr.. Rodney of the House of Repre-
scntatives, both gentlemen amongst the most
distinguished statesmen in the United States
We are satisfied that no step of this kind has
been taken IN our provnce-aud we most pro-
badly shall he UDreprescnted, unless the mem
bers from Louisiana and Alabama volunteer
our cause. In such cases it might be- well to
make provision, authorizing the President
of the Senate and the Speaker, respectively,
10 assign counsel.
JUDGE DUVAL.
The United States Court for East Florida
was fully organized and in session on the 9Th
December last. The Judge, in his charge to
the Grand Jury, claims for his court ali the
jurisdiction of a United States District Court
Requiring tile Jury to enquire into all offences
against the u. States stitutes-treason, MUIR
der on tile high seas and piracy, mail robbie
ries, counterfeiting, &c. &c. 1t is strange he
should have gone into this error after :iie jti-
diclal developenent at Pensacola, and consi-
derinS that he had abundant time for more
satisfactory advices from Washington. Sup
posing him incapable of giving the act of
Congress the proper construction, which, we
do not suppose, yet he WAS most neglected.
~ not giving it ii more careful! reading. Look
to the consequences, shouldany presen;ments
and convictions have been had under his
charge, how would the Judge reconcile To
himself the having Senteaced prisoners whom
he had no right 10 try. EIor1dim.
The Grand Jury at St Augustine present.
ed as a grievance that the province was go
verned by Spanish Lazy. praying for the miro
ductIon ofthe common laS, &c. sc. In West
Florida we hope no such prayer will be ever
made. At present, there is no doubt on the
question, as III the first place, we have a large
majority of Spaniard, al of course prefer,ing
tile laws 10 which they have been accustomed
and, IN the second place, amongst the A.
merlcans, las they are pleased To call them
selves there are many who think they have
lived long enough in the enjoyment of :. the
glorious uncertainties" OF the common law,
and are quite content To resi- their persons and
property under the simplicity and certainty
OF the civil code. The Grand Jury further
present as greivanc, that their province is re-
ry poor, &c. In this our Grand Jury, if we
had one, would heartily concur. and with good
reason-as we suspect that this is the poorest
government in the word-largely in debt
without a cent in the treasury, and without
remedy present or in prospect. ID.
