 'sCavortiag. Ut was court-week, and an un, fnsual concourse of people was collected. .***&s But, the most amusing individuals, were some two or three, who were Cupogtilg. Now, if Iany lady or gentleman is so ignorant of the 4. lmerlcan language as not to know what cavort- ling is, and if Websters celebrated quarto does not furnish the definition, it is necessary that we explain, that it expresses the conduct of an in- idlvidual who iancies himself the snaartest and best man in the world. On the present occa- Ison, q fellow might be seen, dressedin hunting jshrt, with rifle on his shoulder, mounted. half 1tpsy, upon spirited horse, and dashng through 4the crowd. Now he would force his spurs into !his horses sides, and put him at full speed or rem ham up until he reared on his hinder feet and now he would command him 10 stop. and the iobedleat animal would stand and tremble. All the time he was ranting and roaring in praise of himself, his horse, and the United States of A. lmrlca. lie boastcd that he was born in the Iwoods, rocked in a sugar trough, and sucked by Ia buffalo; that he could toat a steamboat. and ont-run streak of lightning; that his wife was as handsome as peffawn, aad his children reol i4oareys. H. bestowed similar encomiums on this horse. and finally avewea himself to De q l friend to the United States of Amerea-and then he commenced again and went over the same round, flourish his rife all the time. and exerting his lungs to their utmost. Although he often declared that he could whip any man Iihthe round world, except Col. c. that he ft un- der at New Orleans, no body accepted the chal- l lenge, or took offence; the whole being consid- l cred as matter of course. and as the natural effect of stimulent potations upon an ilIterate man of ardent temperament, who. when duly sober, WAS s;l honest, quiet, and inoensive cti- Izen.-Aftaots .ioah.
 l Prince of fWm4cm5urg.- Prince Paul William. lof Wurtemburg, returned to this city, (New- i Oreans.) on the 50 Nov. in the Thonaas YeQt- nun, after an absence of twelve months, during which time he has explored vast regions in the
 
 talns. This toilsome and even dangerous voy. age, he has performed with uncommon intrepi- l dity, and not without having to encounter the threats and hostilites of the Indians. Amopp the results of his labor, we had occasion to ex anime Chart, projected by the Prince, which embraces the whole of the territory of f.ouisia- na. as II was formerly known--which will pro- bably assist in some errors existing in the maps now in use.
 It is certainly suspicious to the cause of sci ence, to see Prince thus volunteer to sacrifice his ease and labor to enrich the stores of learn ing with dellncatlons not yet known in Europe and we cannot repress desire to see these ob- sefvations published, from so illustrous travel. Ter. From our ight knowledge of the Prince. we are satisfied he will draw a picture of our country very different from the distorted and laundiced one of the poor Saxe Weimer. aud in l terms that will condemn the shallow and malc- yoleDt libels of Basil Hall.
 We are informed it is the intention of the Prince to leave this in few days, to make a l tour of the Republic of Mexico, aud that he will return here again, previous to his departure for i Europe. TGlercantile .advertiscr. ihe Dirorce.-A married couple determined to be divorced; but not being able to agree with respect to the disposition of the children. refer red the dispute to an aunt, to whose arbitration they respectively agreed to submit. ssWe have three children" said the husband, ( insist on .eepiTg apo; the third shali be left to the care of the mother" "But l." said the mother, shave q right to faeo; the care ofone will be more than Isuficient for you.' s.There is no way of set }tling this dispute, said the aunt, with the true gravity of judge, ssbut by waiting for the birth Iol fourth child. you can then separate upon Ie9uo1 terrns.' This decision restored good hu- nor. The contendng parties embraced, and the idea of a divorce was forgotten.
