This was an informal icn imputing to the defendant the writing and publifhing two libels in his Political Reeler of the sth of November, and the loth of December, 1803, calculated to excite ill-will and barred among his Majefty's fubjeas, by infinuating that Ireland was ill-gaverned. The information charged the defendant generally with wilfully libel. Cog the Government of Ireland, and partially with libelliog Lord Hardwicke, by reprefenting him as a man with a wooden head, a fheep feeder, and incom petent to eosdua the affairs of Rate; alfo with libel ling. Lord Itedefdale, by imputing to him corrupt motives in his office of Chancellor ; and likewife Mr. Joftiee Ofborne, who, the defendant afferted, had by his fpeeele to the Grand Jury, of the Shires of Antrim and Down. “ compounded juftice, outraged humanity, and infulted royalty."

The Learned Advocate nest commented upon the libels, lenience by &mace. and made out the inuendoes Wind to them vand having dwelt with confiderable force upon their malicious and evil tendency, he con cluded by raying, that if he could find out that the defendant had been. affifted in the fabrication and mansfarfture of the libels he had complained of, the profecution Mould not flop with the defendant. Evidence was then given of Mr. Cobbett being the foie Proprietor of the Political Reeler, publifhed at Bagibaw's, in Bow-llreet, and that the nutnberi pro duced had been purchafed at the latter place on the days the journals bore date, namely, the sth of No vember and the loth of December left.

Extras% were alfo read, imputing to Lord Redef dale certain motives of fell interell, in making an order by which the Secretary to the Mailer of the Rolls in Ireland was virtually prevented from con tinuing to receive certain fees of office, which were transferred to the Chancellor's Secretary, that fame fecret annuitant, a dependant of his Lordfhip's, might participate ; and a charge delivered by Judge OSBORNE to the Grand Jury, in which he is Elated to have prailed the flrenuous escrtions, wifdom, and ..tiergy of Government in July lad, was called a L.-vadiide pourd on •he rrur4. Mr. Marfden was alfo accUred of voratit . ;-. The letters from which thefe extraOs were made, were ligned Jut , / Rra A. Mr. AOS ri defended Mr. Cubhett, upon the broad ground, that he had exercifed a fair legitimate right, in canvidling the imbecilities of men entreated with Government of their cowry, and that it was a every Br itifh bbjeft potfeff:J. Without the tight of free dircuffion, he added, ourboaftedliberty would be as nothing ; and, to ufe the words of Mr. Hume, as the right had originated with the Revolu tion that gave liberty to Englifhmen, lo would that liberty have an end, when the right was deftroyed or taken away. The learned Counfel then went into a panegyric upon the talents of Mr. Cobbett, ahom he defcribed as a vigorous and uncontrouled writer, but at the fame time a (launch lend and advocate of the Conftitution, and a lover of his King and country. He next combated the arguments of the Attorney General, as applied to the pafrages Welted as libel lous, and contended, as they were inveftigations arifing out of the political charatlers of the Gentle men to whom the obirrvations applied, they were not fubjea to the animadverfions of the law. Mr. ADAM then called Mr. Litton, late Bra); Minifter in America I alfo Lard Henry Stuart, Lord Minto, Mr. Windham. Mr. Yorke, and Mr. Reeves ; who all agreed, that Mr. Cobbett was a man who had given an uninterrupted (cries of proofs of his attach. ment to the Britifh Conftitution, and of ,his 00.,a0 veneration for his Sovereign. _ • The ATTORMIII G replied; when Lord ELLSWEOROUGH obferved, that it lutd:neen truly laid that she law of England bad eisfranchtled the Preis. No preliminary licence was necerarf to citable a perfon to print, and every perfon wroteand publithed at hi. own tint ; but if he did it to the pre jpdice of another, then he was guilty of a libel: The Aims, therefore, was, had the Defendant publifised' any thing that was calculated to inflame, give pain, or prove 'Denims to individuals: and if he had , and the publicatson was libellous, did it militate agaioft the general Mien& of the country, by drawing into ha tred and contempt his biakfly's Government, and by fo doing tend alienate the affeEtions ofhis people? If fo, the Defendant was guilty of a crime. It was no matter how it was effened, if by ridicule or other wife. Whether erupt up in one form or another, the poifon was the fame; and had been fo fettled by the greaten Expulsion of the Law : Among them he might mention Lord Holt, who in the Q.2cen o. Touchey, had dillinelly laid down, that the writing which was ddamatory of an individualor of a country , was a libel. The Jury would, therefore, afk them (elves, if the writing in quenion was of that defa matory nature, and decide accordingly. His Lord. Ihip then commented upon the pillage let forth in the information, and left it to the Jury to fay, whe ther or not the writings were libellous? The jury thought they were, and found the de fendant—Guilty. TN! Ma O. :mon. This was an indiOment againft the Defendant, fon tie the Governor of Swat, for fending a challenge to • the Right Honourable Mr. Wickham. From the finteaseut of Mr. Eakins, (imported by the evidence of Mr.Wiekham, it appeared that he bad taken under his motes:lion a young gentleman of the name of Flint, who married a lifter of the Defendant. The • young couple remained in Mr.Wiekhanes beak s and he. was one of the tram* under their marriage fee dement. The Defendant having retorned from Andis. was issited to Mr. Wielding', • inhere be mmained*, week. and was hapitably treated. differencep moaned in Mr. fleatotee funny. asZ e Mr. W. ad• vifed Mr. and Mrs. Flint not by any !neaps to interfere in. After the Defendant bad returned to his flip which was to convey him to India again, he wrote to Mr. Wickham, laying he had heard he had advifed Mr. and Mrs. Flint to ufe cocieive xneafures to turn hint out of his father's houfe, and be de fired an expla nation of his condue in having done fo. Mr. W. re plied, that he bad given them no advice but what was in confidence as their truflee, and be could enter into no explanation on the labial. The Defendant wrote feeeralintemperateletters,andatlaftfentachallengeby Major Morgan. For thi s ; conduit a criminal informa tion was moved againft him ; but, upon his 'polo. sizing, Mr. Wickham declined proceedings. Not withftanding this lenity. the tenor of the profecution had no fooner ceafed. than he wrote a grange inco herent letter to Mrs. Flint, Rating, that if the did not interfere to fettle the family difputes, the would be obliged to appear in Court, where, if the told truth, the would difgrace her patron ; and, if the did not, the would be put into the pillory in a wooden box at Cha ring Croft ; that thn glory would get to Bombay, and in the public newfpapers, when it would appear Mr. W. had declined fighting a duel; that no man could be excufed for refuting to fight after having interfered in a family difpute ; hefides, no one ought to refute after the Duke of York and Mr. Pitt bad fought: . that after all, the Rory would get into the Houle of Cemnrcns ; where feme Member would get up, and alt Mr. Wickham if it was true that he !had refufed a challenge ? that men had been expelled the Houle for left offences : that the King, who was at the head of all Gentlemen, would Rake him out of the Privy Council: in them that no man would fit with him, but that lie would- be looked upon as a fool, and unfit to be entrufled with the affairs of the oat ion at this time of peril. This letter Mr. and Mrs. Flint deemed it their duty to thew to Mr. Wickham. A Ih o rt time after, the defendant fent Mr. W. a no's, which Mr.%Vickhani tranfmitted to his uncle, unopened. The defendant called upon Mr. Wickham on a Sunda/ evening, and fent in his name. Mt. Wickham, .conceiving it was his uncle, went to him. The defendant alked him why he had fent his letter to his uncle ? To whieh,Mr.Wickliam obferved, he bad done fo. beeaufe be thought he was the perfon ' who had moll influence over him. The defendant laid, he might have opened it without fear. Mr. Wickham replied, he could hold no communication with him of any kind; upon which the defendant laid, • if he did not give him the fatisfaCtion of a Gentleman. he was one of the greateft blackguards that ever was. Upon this evidence the Jury innantly found the defendant guilty. It appeared Mr. Wickham • had not given any advice to ufe coercive matures • againll the defendant. He bad merely advikd and Mrs. Flint to lay the opinion of an eminent Counfel on the fubjeft of the family differences before • Come common friend. Lord E LLLLL oantrom hoped the defendant would be in a proper (late of mind before he came up to re ceive judgment. His conduit in writing the letter to his filler, and his fultfequent behaviour to the pro fecutor, bole the charader of illiberal vulgarity. It might be neceffary to make him give &reties to keep the peace; at all events he was not to look to a (pee dy enlargement of his perfon from confinement. It would be well for him if. hy his contrition, he could make his peace with Mr.Wickbam. • COURT OF KING'S BENCH.DMILIN. TITZGFRALD V. HAWKESWOILTH• BRtACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. Tuefday, the 14th irritant. this interesting trial, of which we could only give a brief flatement yefterday, commenced in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, before the CH Ia IF JUSTICE and a Special Jury, COM pofed of the following perfons : John Carleton, Leland Crofthwaite, John Lintlfsy, Char. Thorpe. I . B Anyway, Rkbard Liana, Kith. Hone, oho Duncan, W. Seal \ lira, and Jeffery Foot, aka Hutton, Barth. Masiere,F.fora. Mr. PENEFATI4aIt opened the cafe by erplaining that it was an anion brought by the plaintiff, Mary Fitzgerald, againft the defendant, the Key. Thomas Hawketworth, for a b-each of promife of marriage. The damages were laid at 50001. and the defendant pleaded, ill, the general iffue—idly, that he Was 1 under age wt.en the promife was made—and laftly, the flattate of limitation. Mr. Setjeant Moose Rated the plaintiff's cafe at' great length, and with great ability. He com. .meneed by obferving, that the prefent was a cafe calculated to interest manly fenfibility, and engage the ferious attention and fympathy of every maa r wifhing to maintain the moral and facial obligations. The queltion with the Jury, was not, as in ordinary aftions, to recover damages ; but they were to ad. mearnre the conmenfation due to wounded feeling and a broken bean t they were called upon to give what atonement could be given to mental agony, to repofe for ever loft, and by their verdift to check an offence peculiarly reproachful to human nature. — They would find the cafe before them one in which thiduplicity and art of the defendant was commen furate with his profeffions of affettion, and that the moment he pretended love, he determined to deceive. They would find hN poet ify and love in the fame man; enthufialm and diffimulation, cunning and candour, in the fame letters ; and in thofeletters, and under his own hand, they would be able to trace the arts and wiles of the deceitful lover. On the other hand, they would fee in the plaintiff long contlaney, conti nued affeltion, and undeviating virtue; up to the prefent noment. They t'ould behold an affeaing pielpre of patience and long fuffering, the Lady flow to rognife, but having Komifed, mull faithful to the IaIL This being the general profrEhis of the merits of the cafe, the learned Counfcl fatd, it became his duty ,to lay the fails before the Jury. The plaintiff was a l young Lady, now about 26 years of age, living with her family ; her father, a moil refpe&able old Gen tleman. had been a military officer, and her brother was now a Captain in his Majeßy's fervice. The family had been fettled for Come years back in Cant.- town, about nine miles from Mount-Rath. in the t'sconnty ; of five children the plaintiff was the e n! The Esther of the defendant Mr. Hawker worth, inferior to Mr. Fitzgerald in the claims of antient genealogy. was, however, faperier in worldly circornilances, and sited as the manager of Lord Caßlecoote's eftates in that county. The defendant, his fon. was ordained in the year 5795. and bad ac (piked a confiderable flare of celebrity as a preacher, and was well known in the pulpits of this metropolis, but whether his pratlical morality accorded with his precepts, would be for the Jury to determine. Before the year 1794, there was naturally an intimacy be tween the two families, from the proximity of their refidences. The defendant was then a Student in Tri nity College. and was nearly about to tale his degree. He was then about zo years of age, and the Lady 16. An affection was mutually conceived, and after fame difficulty on his part to engage the Lady to fedi% procedure, they became contracted by a folemn vow to end in marriage. Their affeEtion becoming ob vious to the furrounding country, thrill began the de. fendant's duplicity. He told the young Lady that they mull keep their fentiments for each other f that he wiled to be out of College before their mar riage took place, and that by and by he would be or. dained, and was ordained the following year. a ftrong prefumption againft his nonage. In the year 179,4. the deflndant wrote three letters to Mifs Fitzgerald, the firft recommending the renewal of their vows, &c. from whence an intended matrimonial engagement and previous contrail were evidently to be inferred. Here the learned Connfel quoted from the firß letter paffages which were nearly as follow : "My deareft Manor—l will not fay I was difeppointed In not receiving an anfwer to my letter of yaterday ; for certainly no thing that you would have written could have added to my a(x &name confidence, but I did cape& a hoc or two; they would have been a comfort to me, and would have impaled no trouble on you.

Mark. my Angel' make the promife I require, and you bell foe bow prudently I win behave—this brings dougs to no proof. You may depend upon the hearer." This, continued Mr. Moots, was to prove the militancy of the Lady—but you, Gentlemen of the Jury, tail find that eonikancy proved to this very hour ; while the defendant has been feeling by bafe nets and hypoctify to break off the match, sad at the fame time impeding upon her pliant brother and refpeaable father, and difarranging the whole family. Two other letters were written by the defendant so the plaintiff the fame year—one of them contaias the following pairages : .. Our love Acing mutual, my Maria I then why not our ekele. rathm' You raid I might depend on tb, fincerity of your bove,but this brings it to the proof. Engage foiemitly a.
