Georgia Penitentiary ? 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.

FROM SO UTll-jt.MEH ICJ.
BOSTON, NOV. 2.
aptain Upton from Laguira, sailed on
4th October., He informs that he
letained 15 dnysby embargo, laid in
quence, (as was gtnerally supposed )
defeat qLUie royal troops in the vici
Bf BarceTflRa, by the insurgents, who
?pl>eared in that neighborhood in
great force, say from 1500 10 iooo, with
a considerable number of cavalry. 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. SkirmlsTies took place daily.
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.

| MUTINY AND MURDKR.
! Capt. Hovcy, from St. Peters
burg and Elsineur, informs, that the
risdr. Piattsburg of Baltimore, had
f been risen upon by the crew and
j carried into Mandal, Norway, and
r thac the officers and supercargo had
been thrown overboard. They af
i ttrwards carried her to Christian
f sand, where she was siezed, and the
cargo was to be sold Sept. 23, by
order of government.
Capt. Hathaway, passenger in the
Pylades, confirms the above. He
1 states that on the passage from a
port in the Mediterranean, bound
to the United States, the crew at
1 tacked the captain, mate and su
percargo to ^et possesion of the
vessel, in which they succeeded.
^The captairr fell" immediately ; but
the supercargo and mate fought
some length of time with such wea
pons as they could lay their hands
upon ; until through loss of blood,
fatigue and superior number?, they
fell beside their commander; and
ail were shortly afterwards thrown
overboard. The crew consisred of
fourteen persons, only thr\e of
which were Americans ? these three,
I with a Dane, went to Copenhagen,
( after the schooner had been carricd
r into Mindal, and there purchased a
small vessel for the purpose of
making their escape ; but some
I suspicion arising that they were
J part of the crew of the Piattsburg
I they were arrested, carried before
the Police, and there acknowledg
!' ed every fact relative to the bloody
deed they had committed. They
were turned over to the court of
chancery. ? -The Piattsburg had on
board some targo, an & about forty
two thousand dollars in specie,
which wai divided among the crew.
It was said that they were living in
great style in N<**tfay, and that they
spent from 90 to IOO tlollars a
per man. The "P. was owned by
Mr. JohnM'Quih of Baltimore. ?
The names of the persons murder
ed were Bernard, supercargo, Hag
