CO 0 A APRIL 24 . PLOT AGAlifr TSE IMPIIIIOR ALEXANDER. Outiteaders'know, that of the eleven person . * ac ettied as accomplices in the plot apinst the Emperor ALEXANDS2, five were set at liberty on the 41-6 d of least - touch, and that' the sixth, Laborde, formerly an Officer in the French service, has either fled or cone cealed hiiisself. The five others appeared this morn ing at- the bar of the Court. They were : baude Andre riser, aged 26, a Oarrier. Prance& Xavier Berth, aged 41, a Wine Merchant. Fransoit Dierykx, aged 35, a Coal Patter. Adolphe PotieUat (ohm Lacroix), aged 55, Ex-French °Seer.' Louis &idiot aged 50, Vinegar Manufacturer. Dierukx is by birth a liehrbut—the other four are Frenchman. It appears from the documents relative to the pro cess; that at the end. of July, or the beginning of August, 1818, when the news of the Congress in tended to be held at Aix-la-Chapelle, and the ap proeching"arrival of the Sovereigns in that city, had been received, a el-decreer French Officer, Alexander Laborde, calling himself Aid-de-camp to General Vandamme, and having been obliged, as it appears, to quit France on political grounds, conceived, dur ing his abode at Brussels, a project, ridiculoui for its rashness; but even the partial execution of which, with respect either to the end or the means, might disturb the public tranquillity. It was intended, with the help of some confidants, to seize on the Emperor Alexander, during his jour ney eitlier in France or the Netherlands, to compel that-'Sovereign to, sign an Address to the French, tending to proclaim Francis Charles Napoleon Em peror of the French, and his mother Regent; lastly, to make Napoleon Bonaparte return from the place of his stile.' It even seems, that in case the Emperor Alexander had refused to subscribe to this demand, they would have done violence to his person. Emperor signed the Proclamation, it was to be taken to France, where . an insurrection, excited by the con spirators, would, as they expressed, e overturn the throne and the dynasty which occupies it." Laborde first communicated his plan to Piger, who worked at Brussels as a currier. Piger and Laborde saw only one obstacle to be surmounted; this was, how, to procure the money requisite. To 'this end, they associated in the plan J. X. Bersh, who promised money. This promise not being performed, the plan was for a time abandoned till the end of October. When the Emperor Alexander returned from his tour to France, it was then they applied to Dierukx, -whom they knew to be connected with several smug glers. Piger obtained from him a letter to one Gao dian, a tavern:keeper at Boussu, in order to procure • him some good fellows to carry on the same opera tions which he, Dierukx, said he had carried on in' the house of Gandri ; to this letter was added a tiote, written by . Dierukx pointing out the least frequented toads b y which the Emperor of Russia was to be taken to France, 'as soon as they had seized on his person. Piger having received' these two pa , pers from Dierukx, exclaimed with' satisfaction—" Now we shall smuggle Alexander and NapOleon into France r=-It was at this time that Piger wrote, from the dictation ,of Laborde, the Proclamation to the French (added below), at the bottom of which they intended to make the Emperor Alexander annex his signature. They took into ilie plot another namely, Pouellot (or Lacroix), formerly- a French Officer, who in his tura communicated the particu lars to LouWßuchoz. The latter at this moment exClaimed, that it was an affair which was better than that of the Duke of Wellington, because, said he, "•I shall do my part." This was the Sd of No iember. The same die, Lacroix and Bucboz ape plied to the Magistrates, to whom, they denounced the plot. They were ordered to watch the conspira tors...and give an account of what passed; but it will be seen that they departed from the passive 'part which had been assigned them. • Oa the 7th November, it was agreed with Dierukx to suppress his first letter, and that he should write to Gandri another letter in stronger terms, and that he should also supply some money. He wrote this letter, as Lacroix desired it; and when it was given to Piger, Lacroix urged him to set out immediately for Benue to procure forty men;most of them late soldiers in the Guard. Lacroix gave him twenty guineas for his expenses ; he also observed, that to in spire the Smugglers with more respect, Piger ought to be armed, and better dressed. In consequence, Berth lent him his pistols and a dress. Lacroix de livered him a carte, the head of which was Napoleon Bonaparte, and advised him to chew the rallying sign both OD Gandri and to his friends. ' On the Bth November, Inger set out lot Boussu, whore he arrived on the 10*7 at noon. He learnt that Candid had removed to the neighbourhood of Beeiche; but be spoke to a female relation of his, and desired - her to carry the letter to Gandri. Then he meuened to Mons, where he was arrested on the 11th. On Ate 91111, daring the absence of Piger, Buchoz and 1.11061.2 Malefic patois, powder, &c. at Brussels, whit& .were deposited in thelouse of Lacrolr, for the ANSI, as dreg have .said, of giving more confidence the eonsipseators. It is ht part proved that La croix let ins accomplices know that he was in pos sateen et those arms, to use them on occa,sion, and even endeavoured to engage more persons in the plot. Beide who so much contributed to the departure of tiger. discosered the mission of the latter, and gave all the details to a person of distinction in this city, who immediately gave information of it to the Xing! of the Netherlands. In.the night of the 9th, as in quiry was instituted; on the 10th, those persons and others implicated were arrested. On the elth, in the evening, Piger was arrested at Mons ; h e h a d ab out elm pistols, the Address to the French, and the cane • with Napoleon's portrait. The accused have in ge- , metal confessed the facts; but while some endea vour to avail' hemselves of the information they gave, the others point out the informers as the most guilty. among then:, since they used all the means in their power to insure the success of the plot. : The audience began with closed doors at nine o. teen *imam were examined, and the affair adjourned . day.

He understood that the Duke of Marlborough in this case had offered by his answer to pay the annuity; but he wished to know whether his Grace had so submitted the offer in his answers, as to make the annuity a burden on the estate. He should, therefore, reserve the decision as to the dis charge of the receiver, until he had looked at the an swers. His Lordship then desired the answers to be handed to him, and said he should look over Ahem this night ; and if any of the parties would wait on him to-morrow morning, before he went to the House of Lords, he should tell them whether he dis charged the order or nut. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, APRIL 29. THE KING V. WM. PEEL, ESQ.AND -••• DAWSON, ESQ. In Michaelmas Term last, Mr. Scat ni.Err obtained a Rule, calling upon the defenalints to shew cause, Why a criminal information should not be filed against them, the one as the principal and the cther as the second, for challenging a Gentleman, named Royer, to fight a duel. Prior to the late General Election, Sir Robert Peel offered himself as a candidate for the borough of Tamworth, which .until the death a the late Marquis of Townshend, had been represented by a branch of *that Nobleman's family. On the death of that Noble man his executors disposed of his property .and in terest in the neighbourhood of the Borough, but at,, the late General Election Lord Charles Townshend presented himself as a candidate in .opposition to the present Member. Shortly before the Election, Mr. Floyer, the prosecutor, published an anonimous hand bill, reflecting upon the *conduct of Sir Robert Peel, generally imputing to him the forfeiture of a pledge which he was stated to have made, never to oppuss the interests - of the Townshend family in the rem sentation of the Borough. In a few days afterwards he published a second hand-bill, addressed to this. .Electors, subscribed by his own name upon the same subject. The severe animadversions. upon the cha racter and conduet of Sir Robert Peel in-this publi• cation; induced Mr. William Peel, the defendant,.to call upon him for an explanation of his conduct, aid . 'in the result the latter challenged the prosecutor to fight a duel, but which was refused on the ground that Sir Robert Peel alone was the who was entitled to make such , a call—it was person n ver at the same time said by the 'prosecutor, if the defendant, .could assign sulicientcause, he had no dbjection to give him the meeting. This transaction occurred on Ithe £Sd of June, 1818, and there the matter rested I fer that time, so far as the defendant was concerned; but &slater was further iofornied by the prosecutor that the whale transaction.should be laid before die Court of lugs Bench. It appeared that oat the 11th, 'of July following, the prosecutor published another . Address to the Electors of Tamworth, containing the whole account of what had passed between him ind the defendant upon the subject of the challenge, and. at the same time he entered into further observa tions reflecting upon the supposed pledge suited to have been given by Sir Robert Peel not to interfere with the interests of the Townshend family. This pub lication occasioned a reply on the part of Sir Robert Peel to the Electors ; in the shape of a vindication, but couched in the most temperate and cautious language. Matters thus remained in abeyance until the month of November last, .whett the prosecutor published an inflammatory address in the Tasnworth Newspaper, containing an allusion to the challenge given by the elefendaat, and reflecting in high terms of vitupera `don upon the conduct of his father, and imputing to himself,, in indirect terms, a want of personal courage. This address was dated on the. 30th of October, and appeared in the Newspaper on the 6th of .November, at which time the - prosecutor was residing at Worth-, in g, in Sussex, and the defendant at ramworth.—.. l The latter, upon seeing the publications went off with his brother-in-law, the other defendant, to Worthing,l in a post-chaise and four, and travelled a distance of one hundred and thirty miles in about thirty hours. —On their arrival at Worthing, the defendant sent a challenge by his brother-in-law, Mr. Dawson, to the prosecutor, desiring an immediate meeti ng . The prosecutor refused to accept the challenge, and in his letter informed the defendant that h e sh ould lay the case before the Court of King's Bench. This answer was received on Saturday, the 7th of No vember, and on the afternoon of that day, the de fendant, Mr. Peel, with his brother-in-law, paraded before the prosecutor's house, the former carrying inl his hand a horse-whip, but not being able to see the pr9secntOr, the defendants proceeded to post thei prosecutor in the Blayne Hotel as &coward, who had twice reftised to gave gentlemanly. satisfaction. The next morning, the. defendant, - Mr. Peel, met the prosecutor and his family going to church and went up to him with a horse-Whip in his hand, and' addressed him to thefollowingeffect Mr. Floyer,' finding that you are surrounded b 7 your family, I' shall not inflict upon you the chastisement your con; duct deserves, but I desire you to consider that I .have horse-whipped you. The .prosecutor replied— ‘ Very well, Sir," and the defendant went away, , and added to the placard Whirl he had previously posted at the Stejne Hotel; a supidement, containing the particulars of. **Moped These's- t opinion, i lA. of anintad .....in upon the conduct of Mr. }loyer, said, that the ordinary and constitutional remedy by indictment was open to the prosecutor, if he entertained any apprehension of violence from the defendants.—The Rule, however, Was made absolute. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, APRIL 99. Soon after the sitting of the Court this morning, M:. Bruce (late of the house of Bruce, Brown, and Scott), made - it motion, through the medium of Mr. ANDREWS, to the following effect :—A bill had been preferred by him against 16 persons for a conspiracy, which was returned as true. Shortly afterwards 14 of tha parties put in their plea ; but two had not yet conformed. The object of the motion, therefore, was, to obtain a Bench Warrant forthe apprehension of the parties who had not pleaded.—Motion granted. Margaret Patterson, aged 16, was indictei for stealing in the house of Vi illiam Gordon, of Grafton street, Fitzroy-square, a gold watch, a gold chain, seven rings, several other articles of jewellery, £42 in Bank -notes, and other property. 'The prosecutor said, that on the evening of the 25th ult. he had a party at his house. He and his wile agreed to accompany some Ladies to Charing- Cross, in order to see them off by the coach to Dept. ford. They left the prisoner, who was their ser vant, alone in care of the house. On their return, in about two hours, they found the door opened, the house deserted, and the drawers, a bureau, and a dedc.opened, and all the portable property carried away. Witness and an Officer set out the followin g morning in the direction of Manchester, in pursuit of the prisoner, and at Ashby-de-la-Zouch they came up with her. Nearly all the property taken was found with her.—Mrs. Gordon confirmed this statement, and said the prisoner had been but twelve days in their service, and, she was received from motives of humanity, being recommended by some persons of respectability who commiserated her situation, and ibtlif from Scotland, of which place also hen hits. (the prosecut?r) was a native. - The prisoner mildew defence, and the Jury found her Guilty—Death. • The Cower said that the crime was a most wicked one, and mistimed bar to prepare Gar the worst con sequeices ; but the prosecutor recommended her to mercy on account of her youth. J. Choper, for breaking and entering the dwelling house of J. liewson, and stealing five gowns and other articles, was also capitally convicted. R. Brnite was convicted of stealing a hat from One of the Committee-rooms of the House of Com mons, the property of C. Swan, Esq. B. Blake, was indicted for intermarrying with Phil. ,lis Adorns, at the church of St. Andrew's, Holborn, ost the Ist of February, his former wife, Ellen Haynes, to whom be was married at Shoreditch in November, 1814, being still living. The prosecutrix, who was of a vety Prefosleming appearance, said the prisoner had colored her for " even long years," before she mar. tied him. She-live& with him but three months, when r she discern* he had anoda wife living, and sepa. rated from him in cossequence..Guilty. Yesterday a Court of Comnion Council was held at Guadhall, for the dispatch of general business. • • Mr. WlLLtissse complained to the Court ot having been obstructed during the present Sessions of the Old Bailey ; he wished to enter by the side door into the body of the Court, and was prevented by an officer, who told him that the orders he had received from Sheriff Roberts were, not to admit any person without his permission. This was, he conceived, a line of conduct which the Court should not sanction. It was acting with indecorum to its members, and in violation of the general principle which sanctioned the free admission of the public to , Coorts of Justice After a long conversation, in which several mem bers condemned the principle of exclusion, and others palliated the conduct of the Sheriff, Mr. Sheriff Mamma was allowed to explain the circumstance. He said, that on the day in question, he had expected a great concourse of strangers to the Conn, in consequence of the nature of the trials which were expected to come on, and had therefor; given instruction to the officer at the door not to admit any person at th,e side door but such as had businssi with the Counsel. He bad no disposition to keep any member oldie Court from hearing the trials, but be was ignorant of thcir having any particular right to be there more than any other portion of the public. Here the matter dropped. The Loan MAYOR said he had received a petition from a poor man named 'Thomas WoolfOrd, whom he had been under the necessity of fining £lO, for selling in the streets without a license. '!he petition prayed that that pan; the half, of the fine which be longed to the City might be remitted. She petition was read, and on the motion of Mr. Dixorr, the Court unanimously agreed to allow him the full penalty. The poor fellow himself appeared at the bar, most lwretchedly dressed, and from his manner no one would have ima4ined that he was sufficiently skilled in the laws (Ibis country to know that he was vio- Wing an act of Parliament by selling fuller's eat th ithout a special license for that purpose.
