Colonel H,gan, keeper of the Jail. was
missing on Saturday for about seven hours

rectlOn-but IN vain. A little child about
has own age. who could not speak plain.
was continually saying TO its mother, Boy
Ia hole boy in hole, and pointed TO a
hole in the end OF the arch over Eagle
street, at its junction with Beaver street
Ills opportunities at length attracted at
tention, and it being known that MIR. HIS

rope fastened under his arms to the bottom
of the creek, a distance of twenty feet,
with lantern. lie there found boys

drawn up The cap was identified as that
of MIR IL $ boy. Sheriff Gallup went to
the place aud offered reward 10 any per
son who would descend and search for the
child. None coald be found, when the
Sheriff himself pulled off his coat and was
making preparations to go down; when a
colored man was induced TO descend with
lantern. After proceeding about three
hundred feet In the creek, as il goes down
Beaver street, and which is covered by
an arch about four feet high, he found the

and resting against the wall of the arch,
almost exhausted. He brought him to
the hole, and he was hoisted out and pre-.
sented to his, till then, afflicted, but now O.
yerjoyed parents

bewildered and deprived Of the power OF
exercising his thinking faculties lie was

n Paris editor noticing the acquittal o!
Nj de Chateaubrland, says-"There is al
least one man in France, who enjoys the
right OF discussion in its fullest extent
The case is, indeed, remarkable Within
the two years past, hundreds Of public
writers have been convicted, fued and
1 imprisoned, in France, for compositions
not half so hostile and injurious to the pre-
sent government, as the writings and pro-
ceedings for which, ChateauoIland was ar
ranged. But, on account of his general
works and reputation, no jury can be had
that will find ayerdlct against him" The
Journal DIES Debates, jealous ministerial
paper, took his part on the late trial, and
asked whether any jury would convict, or
any Court sentence, "a glory" OF France
like the celebrated author! -ytat. Gag
Mr.. Forsyth, the Senator from Georgia,
has been formally presented by Grad
Jury oil one oil the counties in that state.
Tor political misdemeanor, IN the follow
ling terms:
''Ihe Grand Jurors, sworn, chosen, and
selected. sworn first, we suppose; next
Icbosen, and then se!ected,l protest most
solcmnly against the vote of our Senator
John Forsyth, on the Force Bill, and his
conduct and objections to the introduction
of Clay's bill. We cannot find language
strong enough to express our disapproba
+ Ion Oh such apostate conduct; for this mea
sure seemed 10 be the only one calcuiat-
ri to allay the distracted condition of the
country We view also with deep abhor
renee, the ulta- federal doctrines lately ad
yocated by the said Senator in the United
States Senate, and regard them as utterly
subyersive to the sovereignty of the States
and tending directly TO a consolidated
government with unlimited powers, with
out any cheek or control whatsoever: and
we respond most neatly TO resolution OF
!hc republican citizens Of Bedford County
Virginia, where they say, Resolved, that
the conduct OF John Forsyth, in opposing
Ieare 10 introduce said bill, (A1r Clay's, )
was unworthy an American Senator, and
deserves the reprObation Of every friend
Of the Union" We respectfully ask John
Forsyth to resign his seat in the Senate,
that Georgia may send those there who
will no. mlsrepresent her political views
and desires, but Will maintain her SOW
ereisnty and dignity"
! The Foreman and twelve others Of the
Jurors concurred in the presentment:
whilst nine dissented, and asserted the
the rights of the minority IN manner
which has become usual of late years in
Their public bodies, by counter present
ment, in the terms following, viz:
"lt is with feelings of deep regret, that
i've, the undersigned, members of the
Grand Jury, after having used our utmost
influence to suppress the introduction OF
lpolitIcs IN our presentments, have 10 pro
test against the sentiments Of a part OF
our body which goes to reprobate and a
buse our Senator in Congress, John For
syth, whose greatest crime, perhaps, has
been bis opposition TO Modification and
zeal Tor the promotion Of our present hap
Ipy Union, and firm support Of the admin
istratlon," &c.
Whereupon, on motion Of Mr. Poe,
Solicitor General, it was Ordered, ha;
sad presenfments be published, in accor
dance with the wishes of the Grand jury.
