THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LONDON : MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1817. THE attention of the public is chiefly bent on the state Trials, yet pending ; and on the further Suspen sion of the Habeas Corpus Act. Respecting the latter of these, it cannot be concealed that much contrariety of opinion has prcvuiled. Some assert, that no justifiable cause has been adduced why the great charter of sour liberties should hove been sus pended at all ; while others are of opinion that nothing short of the same measure, for many months to come, will be found available for the preservation of tranquil ity in these precarious times. Commenting on this state or things, according to the original Reports of our Com- Ir.it tees of Secrecy, en American Jottrisalia says, " To those who are anxious for foreign intelligence, tle report of the secret committee, published in the paper of to-day, will be an important document.— The reader will observe _ a Jpielnatized and organized ..71,tem ofdepraviey, almost unparalleled in the history or Tu i t i on& There was a general scheme ofeonfiscation, robbery and murder, planned and organised, of which parliamentary reform was to be the seeteltword and the pretext. The ateeder of the Prince Regent, the no bility, and the clot', was med4tek to he followed •by THE NATIONAL REGISTER. at equal division of all the property, and the extir-. potion of all religion whatever. 'This scheme was to be modelled on that of the French revolution."— (.Istcricau Paper.) . Our pendieg State Trials might, however, be ex pected to auyply us with wore indubitable means, Whereby to estimate the expediency of those measures which we are required to adopt by the guardians of the national weal. Whatever may be the elucidation which they contain on ,this point, we are still left tci collet it from conjecture. But, in tlic absence of this, we have decided proofs that the disaffected are proceed ing as far as they practically can—that . " their fire arms" in the country " were all loaded, for the most part with ball"--that " the pikes arc new, very strong, and of a formidable appearance and considerable length" —that " raany had powder and ball abOut them, and many bullets were found on the. road.' Besides, " they searched all the houses for arms, ammunition, and men, whom they compelled to accompany them, de claring, all the way, that plunder was not their object but to obtain their rights, aad alter Me tiovernnseat."' This is represented tole tke spirit of the reformists of the present day, comfonnably with their proceedings, and yet, forsooth, we are still patriotically told that- , - gajd souls !—they intend us nu harm. Instantly that the insurgents of whom we speak, the Nottingham men, caught a glimpse of the cavalry from that town, near Eastwood, they fled, it appears, in all directions. But, attached es we sincerely are to the constitution and government of our country, we should be ashamed and grieved to behold that day, when its preservation at all depended on " the good spirit," as the Correspon dent of the Courier calls it, of " the 15th Hussars," or any set of military men. Nothing is more prospect,. ively alarming than, the despotic protection of the army. It is because we are apprehensive of such a mink as this, *midgt the conflict of interests, that we deprecate so strongly the conduct of those misguided men whose proceedings are calculated to do any thing , rather than conduce to the establishment of that freedom which they *fru to love. Cobbett has reached the United States in safety.— He denies that he quitted this country for debt, in veighs strongly against Ministers, and offers to wager The New Yuri( Evening Port that the present system of things cannot lnst another three years. Adverting to the assertion, that be cleared 10,0001. per annum by his writings while here, the New York Editor says, if this be true, Mr. Cobbett has not done wisely in ex changing England fur America ! The intelligence from foreign parts serves only to confirm the accounts which we had received as to the tempestuous state of the political world. Lisbon has its conspirators, Paris its parties, and even Stutgard its rioters. So much for the old world. Looking to the new world, it is sufficient to add that the revolution in the Brazils has thrown the continent of Europe into consternation. Still we cannot bring ourselves to cre dit the strange account, as reported by a German Journal, that England has pledged herself to defend the integrity of the Spanish South American Colonies f,n. Old Spain. Surely no English fleet is about to be equipped on a speculation so futile! This were quixot ism at the best, and would probably end in something Cu. worse. Saturday the Prince Regent held a Court at Carlton House. Previous to its commencement, his Royal Highness gave an audience to the Duke of Wellingtnn, upon his arrival in England. His Grace was most graciously received. On Saturday the Duke of Wellington arrived at Apsley-House, Hyde' Park-corner. In the evening the Duke ilin.Nl with Earl Bathurst, at his house in Manslichl-street, where be met the Pritme Regent. Saturday her Majesty had a party at Windsor Pa lace, et which were introduced Miss Nannette Stocker, 15 years of age, and Mr. Hauptinann, said to be two of the smallest dwarfs in the world. They were both conveyed in one sedan chair to the Palace. The female performed on the piano -forte, accompanied on the via lin by the man. The Paris Pipers to the II th instant have arrived. The King has dissolved the National Guard of Sens, in the deportment of the Yonne, for not doing its duty in repressing disturbances which broke out in that city on the Nrlth of May. These disturbances weft caused by the high price of provisions. The lAnprror of Austria, it is said, intends to eire a Re pre i•eutativr Colatitude* to his Polish provinces pf Uallicia and Lad onuria. ~. : _` ~ >~ . JU.NE 16. STATE TRIALS. Saturday morning, at half-pest tight o'clock, the Prisoners were brought under the soual esvort, 'plated in their furnier sesta iu the Court.• Watson in the front at the Bar. • It was not until half pant nine tbni the Asko alll assembled. As won as the Chief Justice and d. other Judges had taken their seats on the Bench, aid the names of the Jurors called over, and they had aaswered, Mr. Wetherall proceeded with the witnesses Poor the deknee. The first called was Mr. Hunt. At one o'clock Mr. Wetherell finished the evidence for the prisoner, and after Weir Lordsbips had taken some ctitli:e, and Mr. Serjeant Copley some necessary fresliment, he ruse and addressed the Jury on the =- evidence on both sides. At the evnelusion of Mr. &tent Copley's Wren to the Jury, u.hieh was at three o clock, Lord Ellenborough called upon Watson his de fence, and Watson expressed himself in these terms : " After the address which has been so ably and elo quently delivered to the Jury by the Gentlemen whew• appear in my behalf, it would be presumptuous for me to say any more than that I dischim having had sny intention to overthrow the Government established, by King, Lords, and Commons." A pause then ensued, and some tithe Judges quitted the Bench for a few minutes The was about to reply, when Lord Ellenborough said, " I beg it to be understood, that what I expressed the other day with regard to the publi— cation of the trials now pending, Must be enforced ; the publication of the whole of the trials must be sup—. pressed, until they have concluded." The Solicitor-General, replied to Serjeunt Copley, in a speech of three hours, that mode a considerable impression on the Court. Lord Ellenborough then intimated that the Court• would proceed no , forther this clay. One of the Jury—“ Lord, we had flattered our selves that the business would have concluded to-day, and that we should no longer have been detained frost our homes and occupations. We hawe already been token from our business for six days, a cirsumstanee r.ttentlal with very considerable inconvenience to many of us." Lord Ellenbortrugh—" Gentlemen, there it every wish on the pert of the Court to accotnntodate itself to Your wishes ; but it would be uuetly impossible for me to read the evidence through to-night, even without comment. I should detain you several hours, and you would probably require considerable time fur deli beration." Jurymsn—" My Lord, it is only six o'clock; I think we could get through to-night." • Mr Justice Abbott—" Gentlemen, his Lordship, has every consideration for your comfort, and every, desire to comply with your wishes ; but he is at present very much fi►tiguxl. You will, I trust, have some consideration for him also." Mr. Justice Bayley—" You will recollect,Centlemen, there is the evidence of six days to go through; his Lordship could not sustain the fatigue of reading it ; he would sink under it. Neither, I think, could you, after the fatigue which you have already undergone, Fay proper attention to the subject. The Foreman of the Jury—" I am sorry there should be any difference of opinion amongst us; but I am decidedly of opinion we should adjourn." A Juryman—" My Lord, if we are to be kept till Monday, I trust we shall •not be shut up within the house during the whole of the Sablrath. I hope some arrangement will be made by which we may be en abled to take the air." Mr. Justice Abbott—" Care will be taken that every possible indulgence and accommodation shall be ex tended to you. For the reasons already -assigned, ' Gentlemen, you are aware that it will. be prudent not to be more explicit. At seven o'clock the Court adjourned;, the prisoners were loudly cheered on entering their vehicles to be conveyed to the 'rawer. All 'the avenues leading to the Court of King's Bench were uncommonly thronged, and it is impossible to describe the extraordinary sensa tion and anxiety that seemed to pervade all,ranks ad to , the issue of the above trial. Mr. Hunt Was examined on the part of the prisoner; and the " round un varnished talc" he delivered, respecting the mode' in which Castles, the principal evidence for the Crown introduced himself to his notice at the Bouverie Hotel, on the evening of the 2nd of December claimed the pe culiar attention of the Court. The injunction of the Court, prohibiting the news papers from publishing the trial from day to day, lira greatly embarrassed the legitimate public press, and materially injured the revenue, without at all aiding or protecting the pure administration of justice. The matter of Beanliou„ in the New Forest, which, ~ , i mrted, will be purchased for the Duke of Wel lington, belongs to the Duke of Buccleugh. It was i abbey which once stood on this manor that Mar garet of Aujuu fintud refuge after the dtftat of the Lad of Warwick, ut Barnet.
