The Georj gia Journal says their state prison nearly ready for the reception of convictions. ? About 6o,oco dol lars have been expended on it, and may perhaps cost as much more. ]t is said to be an improvement up on the New- York srate prison, and the buildings will occupy more than an acre of ground. ? 1 lie peni tentiary (says the Editor ) is a proud monument of the w isdom, the pub i;c spirit and the humane policy of our state. It must be highly gratify ing to every liberal mind that cur present criminal code which like the laws of Draco, is written in let ters of blood, will be in a few months changed for a milder system ? a sys tem which will not regard the pet ty thief and murderers as equally hurtful to societv ? but which, as ought ever to be the ca*>e, will grad uate the punishment of an offender to the crime he has committed. In ciependaut of its humanity, the Peni tentiary system promises other ad vantages. It has yielded in Vir ginia tor years a handsome revenue, and wherever the experiment has been fainy made, the result is be lieved to have been equally favor able. But whether profitable or the reverse, justice and sound policy require that the life of a human be-_ ing shouki nO^be taken from him, except in case of extreme necessity. Lancaster (O.J Oct . 3 1 .

The royal troops amounted to from 1200 10 1 500, and were defeated with the loss of 8 or 900 men killed and ia?en prisoners ? Thia engagement look place about the 10th of Sept. ? In conatquence, all the in habitants of. Hnrcelona, (th6se excepted v ho were in favor of the patriot cause) left the place, and arrived at l.aguira in a most wictchcd condition* destitute of al most every thing, and having suffered from the want of provisions on the passage. A few days previous to Capt. Upton's sailing, one or two vessels had arrived from C'umana with womtn and children, who left that place for the same reasons as those from Barcelona. The captain of u n: of the vc*scU informed that toe t'/eat ? est consternation and alarm prevailed there on account of the insurgents, who hud pos session ol all the co-iSt to {windward. and were in every direction round the city, 9f> i ? .at none of the inhabitants could atempl to go into the country without falling into Thti.^tVaT its.

Immediately after this information was I recievcd by the captain general of the Car accas, all the troops that could be sp.i.td from the defence of Laguira, about 1500, were sent against the insurgents, and w en Captain Upton sailed, information was hour ly expected of an engagement which would decide the fate of the Province. Husmcss was completely at a stand at Laguira. Two or three vessels were lying in ti:e harbor with their cargoes on board, and would not discharge: one had actually returned to St. ThoniJa, with hjpr cargo of dry doovis.
