LIVINGSTON CODE.

1t has been stated in several papers
and, we believe, the statement has
been copied in this Journal-that the
Code of Laws prepared by Mr.. Liv-
ingston for Louisiana, had been adopt
ed by that State and carried into ope-
ration. We have reason 10 believe
that the statement is not entirely cor
rect. The Legislature of Louisiana
authorized the preparation of a Civa as
well as Criminal code for the State.
The first, which was con6ded to Mr..
l.. conformity with Judges DERBl GNY
and MoREoN, has been adopted, and is
now in force. The preparation of the
Criminal Code was entrusted to MIR.
Livingston alone; and thisit was which
was destroyed by fire in NewYork last
year. The Legislature require the de-
livery of it on the lst of January next,
and though it will, no doubt, be Sc
verely laborious to Mr.. Livingston, it
is generally believed that he will be
ready by the time prescribed.

he could not, in consistency with the
duty which he owed to himself and the
country, refrain from issuing The order
of recall, that the conduct of Commo.
dore Porter, in this business, Nigh, be
investigated and explained.
One of Ahe cross-interrogatories Of
the Counsel for the accused pointed ar
the presumed hostility of the Secl N.
ry Of the Navy towards Commodore
Porter, and the influence which this
might have had on Mr.. Monroe. To
this, we understand Mr.. Monroe's re.
ply to assert, in the most unequivocal
manner, not only that the present Sec
rotary of the Navy had never shown
any hostile feeling towards Commo-
dore Porter, but, on certain occasions,
that he had exhibited feeling direct.
ly the reverse of hostile. With re.
gard to the order Of recall, and the or.
der for Commodore Porter to return
to his station, Mr.. Monroe, we believe,
expressly stated, that he either dicta,-
ed them, or they were written with his
full privity and consent.
After these answers had been read,
the Counsel for the accused not being
prepared with any further testimony,

Of the late Court of Inquiry, published

Porter, for cross-examination; and in
terrogated as 10 the authorship OF a
publication in the Intelligencer OF the
5th May, on the subject of some pro-
ceeding before the late Court of lnqul-
ry on Commodore Porter? The Judge
Advocate objected to the question, and
called upon the counsel of the accused
to explain the object of the testimony:
and a written explanation of the points
to which it applied, and showing how
it was material to the defence, was gi-
ven in. The Court, being cleared, de-
cidcd that the question was proper,
and might be put to the witness. But
the witness, when interrogated on the
subject, again claimed his privilege as
editor, against being called on to dis
close the authors Of anonymous publ
cations. The Court, being cleared, de-
cided that the question did not appear
so necessary to the defence as to induce
the Court to exert its power to coerce
an answer.

Mobile July 5.-An evidence Of the
summary mode of punishment practis-
ed by some of the aborigenes OF our
country, was witnessed few days since
in this vicinity.
In dispute between two Indians OF
the Choctaw tribe, many of whom are
constantly in and about the city, one
stabbed the other with a knife, and
very severely wounded him. The son
Of a Chief, who happened at that time
to be here, on being informed of the
circumstance, went out to the spot,
and without much ceremony shot the
offender, who submitted TO his fate
without murmur, and we understand
assisted very coolly in placing the gun
to his breast.
The mode Of furnishing offences of
this nature probably is not uncommon
among savages, but it appears angular.
that the man on whom the assault was
committed, should also be condemned
TO suffer death because he was wound
ed. In this case the wounded In
dian was likewise shot, and both were
buried in the same hole.-Com. Reg.

The american Sentinel states, upon what
authority we know not, that Gen. La FArETrE
does not 60 to France for permanent resi-
dence there, but intends to return Again TO the
United States. When We express wish that
the Sentinel's information were correct, we
are satisfied that We represent the unanimous
voice of the whole nation: yet We have reason
to believe, that when this extraordinarily
great and good man next leaves our shores,
it will be forever-So, We learn, he has ex-
pressed himselfto many of his intimate friends.
He holds 1t to be his sacred duty to die in
France; and while this sentiment lives in his
bosom, it would be unreasonable to expect,
and ungrateful to ask, violation of what so
upright conscience dictates to be done. 1t
is true he could be happier here, but France
is his native countryside people love him,
and his presence may yet inspire them to as
sert their rights. It's said that his claims, I'M
der the late law of indemnity for confscated
property during the French Revolution, a.
mount to six hundred thousand Francs, and
that there is little doubt Of his realising them.
This sum, added to the munifcent compen-
sation in money and land made by this, his a.
dopted country, will render the decline ofhis
life almost as af1uent as the commencement
Of it; and viii enable him to crafty, to his last
day, his ruling propensity ofmaking every bo-
dy around him happy.

untimely deprivation of husband and
parent, by the hands of a murderer
The above are the only particulars we
