We have received letters from Gibraltar down to the loth ult. at which time the Garrifon was 'Viet and regular as ultra]. The three ringleaders in the late difturbances there, were Ghat on the Grand Parade on the 4th, in prefence of the whole Gan ifon, who were under arms on the occafion. The firing party was drawn by lot from the men of the asth regiment. The unhappy (offerers ma nifeaed great contrition for their crime, and ac• knowledged the juftice of their fentence, which feemed to make a deep impreffion on the troops, who, as ufual, were afterwards marched by file, paft the dead bodies. We are forty that the prefs of matter this days obliges us to poftpone other par ticulars till Monday. Yellerday after our Paper was at Preis, Paris Journals, to the to infant, came to hand. The Moniteur announces the return of SEDASTIANI from his tour in the Levant and in Egypt, and contains a report on the fubjcS which, in whatever light it be viewed, cannot fail to excite much attention. Although every body could form an eilimate of the pacific tendency, and the commercial (peculation, of this embalry, it was hardly to be expeded that the Moniteur would communicate to all Europe the refults of SISASTIANINI obrervations. Though much narrative and reflation may have been flip. preffed, it is furprifing that fo much should have been publithed. It is rearce polthle to doubt, and wat man ever did doubC that Bow APARTR'S views on Egypt remained unchanged ; hut this paper teems to convert opinion into abrilute certainty. SFSASTIANI begins with raying, that he had vne to Eg) N by direft. , in of 'fa it t VRAND, to oemand the evacuation. It is karccly pAible to conceive a gl,:ater ahtordiry. Surely "'ALLAY.

A moll grievous and a moil infolent complaint is made of General STUART. At the moment when SELASTIANI was cajoling the PAC NA of CAIRO with profeflions of attachment to the Porte, it is Rated that a letter rame from General STUART, inclnfing a copy of General Orders iffued by Bo- N APAR T h in 1799, in which he endeavours to thew the people of Egypt that they ought to pay no obedience whatever to the Porte. The purport off this letter, which appears to have been meant as an anfwer to the cajoleries of BONAPARTE in 1802,, is, with an impudence of mifreprefentation which dcferves to be ranked with the groffell (peeks crf lying, called " incitement to afraffination !" What! was it inthetnent to 4 . 2inati.,n, to warn the Turks againfl the artifices of a rerfon obvioufly fent as a political agent and fpy ?—What does the writer of the Nonitrur confider to be affaffinathin ? We fee no allufion either to Reel or poifon in the quer - lion, nor is there the leaft evidence that the office of poifoner was propofed to any phyfician whatever. Indeed, nothing can be more petulant than the infinuation. Notwithtlanding the praires of BONAPARTE, fo liberally put into the mouth of the poor Cheiks, it appears pretty evident that the Frenchhave few par tizans in Egypt, divided as it is between the Turks and the Bcys. On fome occafions, particularly at Cairo, the fpy complains of having been infulted. After quitting Egypt he went to Acre, and a long and a curious account is given of his converfations with Dgezzar Paella, who is faid to be very defir• ous to live on good terms with BONAPARTE, and (lands greatly in awe of him. Leaving Acre, he went to Zante, and interpofed BONAPAIM'S re commendation to the people to drop their animo (hies and live in quiet. He concludes with a re markable affertion, that all the lonian Wands would become French whenever the French Go vernment pleated. This is a hint which we hope will be attended to. A letter from Vienna, dated t 3th January, con tains the following paragraph : It appears cer tain, that the Engin have no thoughts of eva cuating Egypt. The Brothers, BETHMAN, of Frankfort, have jull fent confiderabl.: fums to Mr. ARTHUR PAGET, the Englifh Minifter here, who has futthered them to Conflantinople, to be em ployed in paying the Engin army in Egypt." A violent eruption lately proceeded from Mount /Etna, which caufed much damage in the neighbouring country of Catania, and fpread ter ror in MefGna. Their Martsrtsi and the Palace ass s did not Mto Windfor yellet day. as was expeded. His AJESTY went there early in the morning, and re turned to town to dinner. The ROYAL FAMILY are not expected to go to Windfor till Friday next. About twelve o'clock yeflerday, her MajCITT and the PRINCE:SAS honoured Lady CHaeLorra FINCH with a morning lat. There will be no Levee next week. Her Ma jasry will hold a Drawing-room next Thurfday. The Kt*c of ETRURIA arrived at Pifa on the rah ult. and fct off for Florence on the 13th. The lalt divifion of the 79th regiment marched through Glafgow on Monday lalt on their way to Ireland from Dundee. On Thnrfday evening the Ladies' Concert com menced for the feafon, at the Hon. Mrs. Wrap- HAM'S houfe in Portland-place. About two hun dred fafhionables attended. The principal fingers were, Mils TEIIIi•NT, Mifs Ceosses, the KNY. VETT*, Mailer SMITH, and Mr. THOMAS WELCH. A trio for two horns and a harp was moll admir ably performed by the Learroces and Mr. MEYER. A mot excellent cold collation was provided.— The next meeting w ill be at Mrs. &STAN'S, in Grofvenor-fquare. Mr. WALSH, one of the Mangers of the Se cretary of State's Office, arrived at Dover on 1 Wednefday night, with a foreigner, named FRAN. slam BAIMMI, whom he gave in charge to an Of ficer there, that he might be fent out of the king- I dom by the firli veffel. 1 The fire place below the Bar in the Houfe of Lords is railed off, fo as to form part of the place allotted for their Lordffiips' reception.

He had gone thither for the recovery of his health, and died at lea. His body ' was conveyed to Malta, where it was interred with military honours.

SPECIAL COMMISSION, NEW SESSIONS-HOUSE, BOROUGH, FEB 5. ißoz. Lord ELLENEOROUGH, Baron THOMPSON, illftiCeS CHAMBRE and LE BLANC, prefiding. The Court having opened at to o'clock, and the ufual Proclamation made—the Prifoners were put to the Bar. Arthur Graham, one of their num ber, applied to the Court, naming Mc frs. igICYLL and Hov EL as Counfel for himfelf and fellow Fri- Rlers, as follow, •iz.— Lander Samuel Sn.ith John Nl•Nama:a John Doyle John Wood James Sedgwick Wrattan John Francis Thomas Phillips Thomas Broushton, and Daniel Tyndal. Thomas Newman Which appointment of Counfel was feparately con firmed by the Plifoners.--,-(Coloriel Defpard had named Serjeant Bssr and Mr. GURNEY as his Counfel on the &ft opening of the Commillion on the atfi ult.) Marcia Dipard and the feveral prifoners abuve•mentioned were then arra;gned.---The in diament coufilled of three counts, mentioning in the uft:al technical detail the feveral Overt Ads to which proof was intended to be adduced. The firit Overt At of the firtl Count Rated, that on the 16th day of November, in the 43d of his prefent Majefly ; and in the parilh of St. Mary, Lambeth, the prifoners at the bar, together with divers other perfons, did confpire together, and attempt to feduce feveral foldiers in his Majefty's fervice, particularly William Francis, Thomas Blaize, and William Windfor, to unite with them ' in the purpofe of fubverting the Government o this Realm in Church and State ; and to dcpofc, kill, and deßroy the King, &c. &c. The 2d Bated, the adminillration of oaths to William Francis and two other perfons, named Pike and Bird, to combine with them, the prifo• ners, for the purpofes aforefaid. The 3d charged the prifoners, at the fame place and time, with feeretly obtaining printed Cards of an Oath and Engagement to be of the Society, not to give evidence of the proceedings, and to bind the perfans taking the fame, to the objeds aforefaid. The 4th Rates the adminiftration of the laid oath and engagement to Blaize, Windfor, &c. Thelth charged the prifoners with intending to lie in wait and attack the KING, and treating of the means, time, and place for effe&ing the fame. The 6th, with a confpiracy to attack and feize upon the Bank, Tower, &c. to poffefs themfelves of arms, in order to kill and deitroy the foldiers and others his Majefly's liege fubjeas. The 7th went to the fame charge, varying the terms into arms and ammunition. The Bth and laft Overt AR defcribed the in tuition and confpiracy of feizing upon the perfon of the King, on his way to meet his Parliament ; to furround and make themfelves makers of both Houfes of Parliament; to feize upon the Bank, Tower, and other Magazines ; and to flop the feveral Mail Coaches, as a fignal to other traitors in different parts oldie kingdom. The fec:md and third counts of the indidment recited the overt ads as above Rated, with form difference at the conclufion of each. In the one Rating a defign to imprifon the King; and in the other to depofe his Majesty from his Imperial Rate and dignity, &c. The indi9ment being read, Mr. JEKYLL expreffed for himfelf and for Mr. HOVEL, who was abfent, their readinefs to accede to the appointment of the Prifoners, who had named them as their Counfel. The prifoners feverally pleaded not guilty. On the ufual quellion having been put to Mr. Belford, " How he would be tried ?" He anfwered, that he fuppofed that had already been decided.—The queftion being repeated, and the informality of his anfwer being reprefentcd to him, he exculpated liimfelf from any difrefpedful intention towards the Court ; but unaccuftomed to thefe things, it (frock him as fomewhat orange, that after every thing relative to the profecution had been previoufly ar ranged, he fhould be afked a queflion of eletlion ? The Court obferved, that no injurious conarue • tion would be put upon his anfwer. The Prifoner then anfwered, " fly Con and my Country." Mr. ATTORNEY GINERAL, then addrefling the Court, laid, that nothing could be more preju dicial to the impartial adminiftration of Juftice than the publication of a trial during its pi°. grefs. The impropriety of publications thus tend ing to affeft the Minds of the Jury, did not admit of a doubt; it was a ferious offence at Common Law ; and in the prefent cafe it was peculiarly fo, becaufe, although the trial of one perfon might be concluded in a day, it was morally impoflible that the whole bufinefs could be difchargcd in the fame time, therefore, as all the prifoners were in volved in the one charge, and the fame evidence. probably, applying throughout, the publication of one trial would render it almoft impoffible for the juror to go into the box unprejudiced and ab hafted in his feelings and judgment. Mr. At torney-Cencral, therefore, aged upon his duty in giving timely intimation, that he would put the law in force againft any perfon offending againft the prohibition which he then gave. The Court then expreffed its truft that the ad monition then given would have its doe effed, and that there would be no occafion for the law to be enforced againft offenders. The ATTORNEY GENERAL alked Wit was intend ed to try feparately ? Mr. JERTRt replied, that it was their intention to do fo ; upon which Mr. AT. TORNEY GENERAL laid he fhould begin on Monday morning with the trial of Mr. Dcfpard. The Court was then adjourned to nine o'clock on Monday next. The Prifoners were all dreffed tolerably clear, and difplayed no figns of defpondency ; their de portment was decent and colleded. Amman was dreffed in the uniform of his regiment. Colonel Defpard was liabited in a plain drefs, and his hair without powder ; his manner did not 6.:;ray a confcioufnefs of the offences with which Its fiend charged. It is but juft to o.bferre on the indulgent atter tion which has been paid to the accommodation of auditors ; an attention which mull neceffarily be much bruited by the fmallnefs of the Court. After the public intimation from the ATTORNEY GENERAL, which we have juft Rated, and which was certainly highly proper in itfelf, it would be difrefpedful to the Court, and a grois violation of law, to attempt to publifh in the coolie of the tria's any part of the evidence. Our Readers, how ever, may be affured, that we have made Inch ar rangements, as will enable us to lay an ample and corral account of the proceedings before them as loon as the bufinefs (hall be terminated.
