In Pennsylvania, one chief magfstrate is said to liave: released eleven huinl red cri minals. In , New-York it wa9 customary topartpn thje : -olil convict8, to make room for new ones, in a prison not large e nough to contain all. This was little less, than a repeal of the criminal code. In Massachusetts more discrimination has been made, and we think with good; ef fect. The pardonino; power has its ap propriate limits, beyond which it cannot p.vprr.isfc. would be cold, and dreary and stern infliction of severity and suffering, ly extended. Let it remove from the op - pressed heart the punishment which has already had its perfect -work,: Let it re - already had its perfect work. Let it re store the child of error to the path of duty, chastened by the perils he has passed, and bound to virtue by gratitude for that kind ness which visited him in prison, and restored him to liberty. Let it aheviate a severe sentence and remit an unjust one. Courts are obliged to act by general laws, bv -circumstantial evidence and establish ed forms. These may in particular ca ses bear severely, and perhaps oppressive ly 5 but the judge cannot always exert his pvvver for their alleviation, or to the peculiarities of different offenders. The force of temptation, the seductions of bad company, the pressure of misfortune, the wrong direction of the mind by want of early education, or parental discipline, or kind friends, cannot always enter into the consideration of a judge, even if, as rarely happens, they are made known to him. The different character and condi tion of offenders of apparently the. same class, the state of mind which renders the same penalty so different in its effects on different individuals, must be beyond the cognisance of a judicial officer; but the intelligent and careful dispenser of cle nency regulates these inequalities. Each case is before him with its palliatives and its aggravations, and in those in which fhe operation of general principles have been too stern, or where peculiar circum stances present a claim for mercy, it is wise and just, as well as humane, that 'e should have the power of forgiveness Upon the criminal, too, this power of pardon is the influence that draws him backHo society, anil connects him with the virtuous and the worthy It is the little light that throws a cheerful ray upon the darkness of his solitude, and sheds a kind ly warmth on the coldness of his cell. Without it, he could hope nothing. 4 ThcH world is not his friend, nor the world's law.' All 4hat chance of amendment which springs from good feeling and a softened mind, would be lost forever. The only hold society has upon a culprit, is in his feeling that there is yet a living sympathy in his misfortunes, a belief with which he is impressed, that the power which punishes is just, but not vindictive, and bowever . rigorous, is nevericrnei ; that there is yet in operation a benevo lence that would delight to bring him back to the path of virtue. There are no other means of amendment. If these fail, if they cannot soften the heart, and melt tbe obduracy of hardened jsjuilt, it will be in vain to expect reformation by any hu man exertion. We believe they do, and much more frequently than is generally supposed ; but good resolutions are over come by new temptations, and the desire to do well vanishes before the allurements and necessities of the world. ' None probably think of abridging the constitutional power of pardon, which every where in our country is lodged in some department of governments But the desire to curtail its free and .liberal exercise amounts to' the same thing With some opportunity of observation, we are satisfied that the power of pardon, ju diciously exerted, is, not. less than the power of punishment, indispensable . for the good of society, and vastly more be- f neficial in its teadencj to reclaim" the de luripd and nuiunrimno viAifra rur i And it does not lessen this' conviction to ; ue told that this power cannot be exerted. and therefore dws not operate, on every transgressor It is enough that it exists, and can be exerted in any case, and will be in many.' , Some, therefore, must, and all may be its objects. The chance is b pen to eyery one. The ; self-exertion, which controls chance and begets ) favor is practicable, and.thefe is'a d motive to practise" il . The mind ; thr6wn: bacf upon itselfby the sufferings it experiences, has a double inducement to reform ; it is impressed at once by the penalty of guilt 11.6; Reward of amendment.- I ' s i Nor. are our views changed blithe fact, that the records of our prisons frequently show that t hey are tenanteddiy"uiahy, who ha ve, once been pafdoried It proves opty tlat ithe discretion of the chtef magistrate :a iu uvu ui!iauces wrongly exerted :ol ims is noionuettut.

THE FRENCH CRLEBU ATLOX The Celebration of Thursday w.a-s bril liant, and worthy of tbe animating occa sion ; the weather was mild, and every thing conspired to render tlie ceremonies agreeable arid impressive, The preces sion, in all its parts, military and civic, was 'well arranged and imposing, ami so extensive its to reach half the'. length of Pennsylvania Avenue from the Presi dent's square to the Capitol. .The Procession was formed; agreeably to the arrangements previously announc ed by the Marshal in Chief,, on the1 Pkiin south of the President's House, and wiien it arrived opposite the Executive Miu sion, it halted and received, -in the place, assigned to them, the President ;of; the United States, the Heads of Department, and such of the Foreign Ministers as ac cepted the invitation of the City to par ticipate in the ceremonies. The Frenth Minister and his suite attended in fall dress, uhd wearing the national colors. ' We cannot ive a minute description of the Procession, of the various societies and "other bodies which composed if- their badges, banners, mottos, &c. but must content ourselves with a brief jic count of them, with such notice of partic ular features or incidents as demand spe cial remark. Of tl military portion of the. proces sion, besides the, ma rj corps aud 6ur handsome city vol uiitfHfm ptii'iies, the parade was rendered noSlliant by U)e i attendance of Captain Pagers fine infant ry corps from Alexandria;, and Captains Cover's, Haller's, and Thomas's hand sonie companies frot Georgetown. 'Hve officers of the militia not in coinmand, .at so appeared in uniform, and, with a num ber of the officers of the army and navy, contributed -touch to the general; effect. Next to the military column followed, the Pe'uM,t of the United States, witlit the other hili civil ofwoersof'the GoV(nj ment, and the French Legati.oi lolls? ing these were the Orator of iheDav. L Committee of arrangement's, ; the sFiviving Officers of the Itevolution, the natives.o) France residing in the city, carrying tbe tri-cofored flag; with the distinguished Gen.

Several bands were distributed throughout the bng line, Namt animated the procession with their fine inaWtc. The comfort of the long marcjv was much pro moted, by the attention of the Marshal and his active "Aids. The Procession did not reach the Cap itol until nearly two o'clock ; where, af-J ter the whole were arranged within and in front of Ihe eastern porticiWAtTEa Jones, Esq. pronounced the Oration which he had been requested by )s fel low citizens to deliver , on Jhe.;pc)?asion.
