THE DISTRIBUTION OP SEDIMPOS' Yesterday ) Mr. Psalm( and other Gentlemen waited upon Mr. Blasts at Bow-street, and having Lad some conversation with the worthy • Vickery was sent to fetch-Mr. WiLmems, per son who became answerable to Sir It. Limes fur the appearance of Wiliam Franilix, alias Fkkier, alias Pother, on Sunday last. Mr. Williams, on his arrival, was shewn into a private room, and Mr. Pearson was about to interro gate him, w hen Mr. Williams objected to .being exa mined, except Mr. Bram; was present. Mr. Pear son told him that Mr. Brame was engaged, that he would take his examination, and Mr. 13. would after- . wards administer the oath to him. 31r. Williams said, he would rather that Mr. Bums were present, and having waited some time the Magistrate came in. Mr. Siam said—Mr. Williams, I do not know what to make of this business, which has assumed a touch more serious aspect than at first. Pray tell me" have you or not seen Franklin since Sunday night?- Mr. Williams.—l have not. Mr. Stamm—Have you or your wife received any communication from him ?—My wife took in a letter, the envelope of which was addressed to Mr. or Mrs. Williams, and within was inclosed a letter to Miss Franklin, his daughter. Mr. BIRNIL—Do you know whether the letter came by the post?—No. Have you the envelope or cover?—No ; I have destroyed it. When ?—Yesterday, I believe. Who delivered it at your house ?—I don't know. Did you know it came from Franklin at the time you received it?—l did not. Did you suppose it came from him ?—I did not ; though when I saw the address I might have sup posed it came from him. Have you been in the habit of being a letter-car rier between Franklin and his family ?—No ; this is the first time. Mr. Brutus—You may remember, Mr. Williams, that when you were at my house on Sunday, with this Gentleman (with emphasis), whom I never saw or heard of before in my life, I asked you what he, was ? You said he was a Gentleman ; knd I asked you if he was a retired tradesman ? You said no— you had known him a long time as a neighbour. Now, did you ever hear him say be knew me, or was known to me?—l never did. Mr. lit RNlE.—Because it has gone forth to the world that he told you he was well known to me, and if he came before me, all would be set straight at once.— I believe you will do me the justice to say, that his introduction to me was entirely owing to the circum stance of my knowing you as a respectable fellow parishioner ?—Certainly, it was entirely so. Mr. BIRSIE.—WeII, I am glad you are come, as it has prevented the necessity, on my part, of taking some steps that would have been very unpleasant. There is one part of your conduct that, with my long knowledge of you as a respectable man, strikes me with wonder. When you were leaving my house on Sunday, I called you back, and seriously warned you. not to h've anything to do with this man. Now, having given you this advice, how do you account for going directly to Sir Robert Baker, who knew nothing about you, and becoming answerable for his appearance? It is to me inexplicable how you could have done so. Mr. Williams seemed much confused, and said— I did not exactly understand you. I thought you said," We can have nothing to do with this busi ness." I did not comprehend it. Mr. '3'm:ie.—You could not suppose that, for I told the officer to keep him in custody. However, I have sent for you now to say, that it behoves you, as a good subject, to do all in your power for the ap prehension of this man, and the more open and com municative you are with thime Gentlemen the better. Mr. PEARSON examined Mr. Williams as follows : What time did the letter you have spoken of come to 'your hand ?—About twelve o'clock on Tuesday, but whether by the post or not, I cannot say ; my wife, however, I think, told me it had the Gerrard street post-mark. Did you not suspect it was from Franklin ?—I did. Had you any previous understanding either with him or his daughter, that you were to be tke medium of their correspondence ?—No, I had tot: Did you receive another letter, under cover, on Monday morning from him?—Yes, I think there was one. Did you not know that that also came from Frank lin?—lt appeared to me so. What time was that?—Between ten and eleven o'clock on the Monday morning. Now, Sir, try and recollect if there was not another letter besides these two ?—I really do not recollect. Has Mrs. W. never mentioned that there was an other ?—I don't recollect hearing about another. Will you swear you have not ?—I can't swear, but I have no recollection of it. There might have been a third letter. One came by post, another not by post, and a third might have come some other way. . Now,. Sir, do you not know he had another name besides Franklin?-1 never heard of any other. Nor his wife, son, or daughter, by any other name? —Never. Did you ever see his sons at their father's house? —Yes. They also went by the name of Franklin, and I never knew them by any other. You have seen them both ?—I have frequently. What situation does his second son hold?—I have heard he holds a situation at the Board of Contronl. • Do you know - by whose influence that situation was procured for him ?—Not directly. Directly or indirectly, do you know ?—Why, I have heard Mr. Franklin say as much as induced me tohelieve that it was by the influence of Mr. Can ning ; as a proof of which, you may remember, Mr. Pearson, secling . a.portrait of Mr. Canning over Frank lin's chimney-piece. Mr. PIIARIPOSO.4 do; but you know that the plc tare could not give the situation, Mr. Williams. Have you ever understood by whose interest his other sou got into the aswiy?..-14O; bite I believe he got his communal by purchase. - I believe you have dined with Franklin at the house of Mr: Deuis O'Bryeu 7—No, never. I saw Mr. View ants for a gutter of an hour at Lank. lines liana; Now, 04 year oath, M. Williams, have you not bim since Sunday ni . ght?..4 swear I h ave not. Nor had any communication with him directly or indirectly ?.—I have not. Tou have known him,. I think,. four years ?—No, .only two. it* he had l ived in furnished i:ayaa dngi in Edgware-road, before he came to Cla r - I:4vati kn6w his hand-writing so as to be able to.swiea; se 4L: A paper was.product:ll to 'Mr. Williams, and he said the hand-w on it aptieired to be Franklin's. Have you looked for the envelopes of the two let ters spoken 02—rhave, but could not find them.— They may be at home now. I did not hear from Miss Franklin where the letters were written from. Do you wish we should understand, that having received these letters from Franklin, and having pledged your honour for his appearance on Monday, you did not think it necessary (your respectability having been made his shield) that you should inform us of the letters ?—I did sot think it necessary. I bad that sort of confidence in hiin that I'did not , think it necessary. What sort of confidence could you have in a man whO had so deceived you ?—Mr. Williams repeated the former answer. Do you . know a Mr. Cranbourne or Knivett ?—No. Here a Gentleinaa came in, almost breathless, and said a letter had just been received from a Gentle man at Dover, wholmew Franklin, and it stated, that the latter was there on Wednesday afternoon, and had procured a passport for France in the name of Harrison. Mr. PEARSON instantly dispatched a letter to the French Ambassador, to acquaint.bim with the cir cumstance, and went himself to 'Lord Castlereagh's Office where he applied for and obtained the pro mise Of two letters, one to the English Ambassador at the Court of France, and another to the Secretary of Passports, in order to the detention of the fugitive. After some further conversation, Mr. Williams was sworn to the statements he had made, and Mr. Pear- son and Vickery were, it was understood, to start ' immediately for Dover in pursuit of Franklin. To prevent the possibility of error, a new warrant was drawn up and signed, in which he was desig nated William .Fktcher, alias .Franilia, alias Forbes, who was supposed to have taken out a passport in the name of Harrison. The following Addresses are to be presented to her MAJESTY on Wednesday : From the Coachmakers ; Cricklade, Greenock, the Roman Catholic Congregations in the Mempolis, Leitholm, N. B. the Ladies of Camberwell, Population of Camberwell, St. Andrew's Holborn; Maidstone, Southampton, Newlyn, Cornwall; Le: minster ; Clifton, near Bristol; Yeovill, Witney, Hull, Ciren cester, Kiddern:inster, Sawyers of the Metropolis, &. John's, %Yapping ; Tradesmen of Spalding, Horsham, Bridgwater, sad Paisley. The following is her MAJESTY'S Answer to the Address from the Inhabitants of North Petherton : '• I gratefully receive, and sincerely approve, this loyal and affectionate Address from the Parish of North Petherton and its vicinity, in the County of Somerset. It is highly satisfactory to me to find the Inhabitants of this place, as well as the rest of the kingdom generally, impressed with a conviction of my innocence, eveu after the witnesses for the accusation had been heard, and b?fore I had produced any evidence to refute the charge." The following is her MAJESTY'S Answer to the Kensington Address: u I return my cordial acknowledgments to the Inhabitants of the Parish of Kensington for this loyal and affectionate Ad dress. I have not forgotten, and shall not readily forget, that period of my life which I passed in the Palace of Kensington. The Inhabitants of this Parish were then more closely united with me in the charities of the neighbourhood ; and those chari ties I never suffer any change of place, or any lapse of time, to efface from my recollection. " Every locality to which our residence is transferred, is as sociated with particular cireunts:aaces, by which it is more or less fastened on the memory, or made interesting to the mind. Bat every change that we make, every locality to which vie re move, seems to remind us of certain portions of life that have glided away. To look back on the scene where we have passed any portion of our former years, is to be reminded that fine, though invisible in his motion, is rapid in his flight. " The interval which I passed in the Palace of Kensington was not one entirely composed of calm and sunny hours, of which no part is railed by inquietudes, or obscured by clouds. No portion of my married life has been of this kind, and this formed no exception to the rest ; but in the period to which I am alluding, death had not made that ravage in my domestic scene that he has since occasioned. I could then, though less often than I could wish, yet I could, at doles, enjoy the sight of one, who has since been for ever torn from my embrace. " The brightest prospects, in the short space of human exist ence, arc often short as a dream, or momentary as a sound. If my prospects have ever been bright, the illuminated speck, in which Hope is painted, has been speedily evanescent, My ene mies have been incessantly plotting how to darken my days; but, perhaps, if the noon of my life has been tempestuous, the evening may be clear." Wednesday last, when it became rather dusk, a formidable gang of pickpockets, about 30 in number, commenced their depredations by robbing persons, most barefacedly and publicly, on the return of the various processions from presenting their Addresses to her Mo.:erre. Between l3randenburgh House, and Knightsbridge, they bustled, tripped up, and' knocked down several persons, whom they robbed of pocket-books, money, and watches. They turned the women's clothes over their heads, and forcibly tore their pockets from their sides! The ruffians were armed with sticks about two feet long, which had been concealed under their coats, and with which they absolutely set 'the officers and constables at defiance. Several of the constables tried to collect in a body, for the purpose of apprehending some of the leaders of the gang ; but, being observed, they were set at open defiance by the villains. Between Knightsbridge Barracks and Hyde-Park-Corner, they stopped a Gentleman on horseback, whom they struck at, and attempted to pull off his horse, when George Taylor, a constable ' of Clerkenwell, Thomas Thomp son, Charles Reid, Edward Bryan, and four other constables, rushed upon and attempted to seize loose of the villains, when they were, in turn, attacked by the gang ; Edward Bryan was knocked down, dread fully cat, and robbed of his hat; and a dreadful con flict took place between the officers and thieves.— During this affray the Gentleman set spurs to his horse, and escaped. The villains being so numerous, would in all probability have murdered every one of the constables, had they not been provided with cut lasses and pistols, which, in their own defence, they were obliged to use. George . Taylor pulled out a . pistol, which he fired over their. heads. When, how ever, he villains found the officers carried fire-aims, they mede their escape without one of them being appoloaded. • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
