G e neral TARAYItE, Deputy from the Lower Cha u, who bad been summoned as a witness in the of the Society of Friends of the Liberty of the t ss, appeared on Friday before the Judge of Ar is, who addressed to him a series of questions, rhich the General refused to reply. He asserted he belonged to no body of individuals orga- as a Society, and holding their Sittings as a :i , !;c Assembly ; that the Charter guaranteed the iblability of a man's domicile ; and that he mld not reveal any thing that had passed at the iidence of his friends : but if he were interrogated to any specifically alleged crime, he would not irate to give all the information in his power.— The Judge having represented to the General that he ,be to answer any questions that might be put him, as it was not for him to judge of the nature or it of any offence that might have been commit t:te. General denied the competence of the Tri ll to examine with respect to actions or discourses :h he alleged to be innocent. " If, (he said) they a right to do so, we should be living under an ;quisition, of which there has been hitherto no ex- Ile." The Judge, upon this, cited the 291st Ar e the Penal Cade. General TARAYRE replied, 'he Article alluded to had been enacted under a , no longer in existence; that it was con. to the Charter, and consequently abrogated, e many other laws, and in particular that against 'rnigrants ; and concluded with declaring that persisted in his refusal to answer.

The number of sick diminishes daily. At Puerto Santa Maria, on the contrary, as well as at Xeres, and at San Lucar, the number of sick is +ather on the increase. The plague, however, still «mimes its ravages to Lower Andalusia, and the other Provinces are quite free from any taint of the rattily.

FRANKFORT, NOVEMBER 10. All the Free Cities of Germany, and all the.little Princes, have received an invitation to send Inenipo scatiaries to the Congress of Vienna. This circum stance is sufficient to refute the assertion that the treat Powers wished to assume a kind of dictatorship. It is affirmed, that the Ministers of the principal Powers are to be at Vienna by the 12th November, though the Congress does not open till the 20th. The last accounts of the health of Field-Marshal Prince Schwartzenburg, .are more satisfactory. He is not in danger, unless he should have a relapse, but his situation requires the greatest attention. He will not, therefore, be able to resume his functions, as President of the Aulic Council of War. BERLIN, NOVEMBER 6. The proceedings relative to the Secret Associa tions, are continued with great activity, and the Com mittee will soon make its Report to the King. The new Prussian Edict, respecting the Censorship of the Press, is the general subject of conversation among the enlightened classes of society. It has ex cited a disagreeable sensation; many of its regula tious are a restraint on the book trade. The enlight ened friends of liberty would have desired the ful filment of promises long since made, by introducing an unlimited Liberty of the Press, under the respon• sibility of Authors and Printers, a Law being pub• lished to repress the abuse of this Liberty. It is hoped, that this subject will be reconsidered in the discustion of the Constitution. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

He eulogized the Liberty of the Press, and the right of discussing the conduct . 4- men in public situations, without which, it was a mockery to speak of the Liberty of the Press. He con tended, that the Magistrate had acted illegally towards the pauper concerning whom the libel had originated; and still more so, as it appeared he had consulted with the prosecutor as to the punishment. The pau per had long worked for Mr. Moore, the prosecutor, and his father; and in a time of great distress, he took a few potatoes. The Learned Gentleman was proceeding with much warmth, when he was inter rupted by Mr. Justice BAYLEY, who said, " Mr. Denman, you have used the words indignation and vindictive ness,' as applied to a Court of Justice. The Court feels no indignation, and is never vindictive, but mild and lenient in the administration of Justice." Mr. DENMAN said he was not sorry, but extremely happy, that he had drawn such a declaration from his Lordship, and was sure his client would have the benefit of it. But, he would ask, was it proper, was it discreet, that a Magistrate, in the exercise of his authority, should, in a public town, subject a hus band, the father of a family, perhaps in the sight of his wife and children, to the punishment of whipping, and left to the degraded clemency of a Constable ? It was an exhibition calculated to excite the most painful emotions ; and if the remarks on that act of severity in the Magistrate should have been tbo strong, it was the exaggeration of a humane mind deeply wounded by such an exhibition. The letter, whoever might have written it, did great credit to the heart of the individual. The Learned Gentleman, in a most eloquent and impressive speech, to which our limits will not permit us to do justice, proceeded to state, that the prosecution had originated in'political mo tives ; had been commenced by a Member of the True Blue Club, and was conducted at the expense of that Club, whose object was to put down the Paper, of which the defendant was printer, and which was opposed to it in politics. He concluded by hoping, that whatever warmth he might have displayed, it would not injure his client.

Many people were en board assisting the crew, but providentially they were all saved. The wind coming to the northward to-day, and a heavy sea running, the vessel has become a wreck, and is coming on shore in pieces. . io DREADFUL FRATRICIDE. Monday evening, the Aurora fishing smack, of Dover, came into that harbour, baying on board the body of John Pater, who was murdered in a most dreadful manner by his brother, James Pater, Master of the smack, early on that morning, in Rye Bay.— The deceased's head and face were cut in a shocking manner by the unfeeling monster, he having first knocked him down the cabin stairs, and then used various instruments to complete his bloody purpose. There were in the cabin at the time one man and a boy, but they were so much terrified as to be incapa ble of rendering assistance to the deceased. The murderer was secured and lodged in Dover Jail soon after the smack came in; and on Tuesday evening a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against him by the Coroner's Inquest, after a long investigation. Tl:c offence being committed on the high seas, he will be sent to London, to take his trial at the next Admiralty Sessions. COURT OF RING'S BENCH. THIS DAY. This morning the SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for a Rule' to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against JOSEPH WILFRID PAR KINS, Esq. one of the Sheriffs of the City o(tondon, RORERT WAITHMAN, Esq. one of the Aldermen of the said City, and several others, for riotously and tumultuously interrupting the proceedings at the Election of LORD MAYOR, on the 29th of Septem ber last. The CHIEF JUSTICE desired that the motion might be deferred until Mr. Justice HOLROYD was in Court. LIBEL. Mr. Serjeant VAUGUAN prayed the Judgment of the Court against Thomas Thompson, printer of the Leicester Chronicle, who had been convicted at the last Summer Assizes of a libel on the Rev. John Pidder, a Magistrate of the said County, inserted in that Paper. Mr. Justice BEST read the report of the trial, by which it appeared, that the libel was a letter signed " Humanitas," reflecting on the conduct of the Ma gistrate, in having ordered a pauper to be fined ten shillings, and not being able to pay it, to be publicly whipped, for stealing a few potatoes. The defendant put in affidavits, stating that the letter was not written by himself; that the prosecu tion had originated in Eolitical motives; and that he was poor, and had a family of four children. For the prosecution, an affidavit was put in, and a pamphlet read, which the defendant since published,' containing a Report of his Trial, and reflecting on the Grand Jury and the Special Jury who bad con victed him. spectable Members of the Corporation. He then stated the usual course of proceedings observed in the Election of Lord Mayor, according to the Charter of the City of London; and proceeded to remark on the proceedings of the last Election. On that day, the Livery assembled to a considerable number; a person, of the name of Joseph Dean, distributed copies of a hand-bill in the entrance to the Hall, which was en titled, " The Will of the Lord Mayor versus the Right of the Livery of London to meet in Common Hall to di!cuss Public Grievances".--[For a copy of the hand-bill, see the STAR for 29th September last.j—The Learned Gentleman was reading this hand-bill, when Mr. Justice BAYLEY inquired if he could bring it home to the parties? The SOLICITOR-GENERAL answered that he could, as Joseph Hurcombe had told Dean to distribute the bills in the body of the Hall among the Liverymen, and they proceeded together into the Hall, where he did distribute them. After rdading the whole of the hand-bill, the Solicitor-General said, he would not at tempt to describe the scene of noise and confusion which took place on the Lord Mayor and Aldermen proceed ing from the Church to the Hall, as it was with much difficulty they could reach the Hustings. When this was done, the Town Crier made the proclamation, and the Recorder, amid the most discordant yells, ad dressed the Livery in the usual form. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen retired, and the Common Ser jeant advanced to the front of the Hustings to state the business on which they were met and to read the list of persons eligible to be elected. Alder man Waithman, who bad not retired from the Court, but addressing Funself to Mr. Hunt; said, " Htmt, tell Thompson to stick to it to the last, and to give way to no one." He mentioned this to prove the connection of the parties, Hunt spoke to Thomp son, and the latter then addressed the Hall, and in spite of the remonstrances of the Common Serjeant, who said he was acting wrong, he persisted in putting a series of Resolutions, and declared he would do it •if he remained on the hustings until the next day.— Mr. Waithman supported Thompson in this conduct; and when the Common Serjeant remonstrated with him, how indecorous his conduct was as a Magistrate, Mr. Waithman stripped off his gown, and said, " New lam a Liveryman." Mr. Sheriff Rothw•ell begged that they would suffer the election to pro ceed—but Mr. Waithman cried " No, no !" and the shout of " No election—no election !" immediately resounded through the Hall.—Mr. Henry Hunt made use of the most insulting and opprobrious expressions against the Common Serjeant, who was pointed out to the indignation of the Livery. Mr. Hunt, the friend and companion of Alderman Waithman, actually took from his pocket a night-cap, to shew to the Livery his determination to per severe in this riotous conduct—(Laud laughter)• Mr. Sheriff Parkins said the Election should not be proceeded in, until the Resolutions were put; he in sulted the Common Serjeant, and when the Resolu tions were passed, actually joined in the general cheers. Mr. Hunt, while this disturbance was going on, said, " This is, indeed, a proper lark I" All the other parties took part in the same proceedings, and thanks were voted to Messrs. Hunt and Waithman.— He would not do so much injustice to the Livery as to suppose that they all participated in these dis graceful proceedings; several, on the contrary, op posed them, but were overpowered by numbers, not only of . the Livery, but others who had got into the Hall. When these tumultuous proceedings had lasted two hours, Mr. Thompson said, " Now, I believe we have had enough of it," and the Election of Lord Mayor, the real business of the The Learned Gentleman cited Holt, in the case of the King Kenyon, in the case of the and others, declaring, that with clamour . and tumult a riot.
