811111 LtAuk and Stuck E‘chilisge. poarkript. LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 24. Three o'Clock, p.m. The last arrival of Paris Papers is before us, from • tliem we learn that on Tuesday the • Spanish Am. bassialur had a private audience of the King, to tieliver two letters from Ferdinand : the first was a h of condolence on the death of the Duke of I.lerri ; the second informed the King of the re. establishment of the Constitution of 1812. Fer dinand, it is said, desiring to conform to the wishes of several provinces of the kingdom, has summoned the Cortes for the 9th of June, instead of the 9th of 'July, the time previously appointed. The King and Queen often appear in public, and, it is as serted, are always received with loud acclamations • Count Abisbal, notwithstanding the defame of his conduct which he has published, has been turned out of the Club Lorencini, as a person unworthy the confidence of the Patriots and report says, he dare not appear at Court. The Royal Vales are in good credit, and the Consolidated Funds are at 60 per cent. The Royalist Journals assert, that in Navarre, .Mina, the Captain-General, refuses to re cognize the authority of Escudero, the new Civil Governor of the Province, and that in Catalonia the people " desire neither a constitutional nor an uaconstitutional TRIALS FOR HIGII TREASON. 1:51 On the first of the cc trills under the special coin Justice spolo as follows: :ement of these i, the Lord Chief "As this trial is one of several in which the patties may be affected by the publication of any of the proceedings that shall transpire, it is the order of the Court that no publication of any part of one trial shall take place, until the whole of the trials are over. Juries or others may be prejudiced by such publics tutus, and they are therefore strictly prohibited by the Court.- 1 desire that all per,ons shall obey this order." The order was founded in justice; we felt the propriety of it, and, in common with all our con temporaries (save and except only one) we have ticrupulously observed it ;—that one, with a very censurable temerity, with a total disregard of de cency, forgetting or contemning the fact, that out of more than three hundred Jurors, all but twelve men would probably, and certainly ought to be ignorant of the evidence given on one trial, which was only ta part of one general indictment, to be supported by the same witnesses, on others of which they might s worn as Jurymen, and in that situatio❑ have to decide on the life or death ofa fellow-man, yesterday published the evidence at length. Counsel always conjure a Jury to banish fr.= their recollection every prior impression, but where can be found the man of so strong and ab stracted a mind as to do this entirely, and therefore the conduct of the delinquent Newspaper appears decidedly calculated to stand between justice and the prisoners who are yet to he tries'.. We still refrain train publishing the evidence, and it remains to be proved, by the punishment or im punity of the t:oder, whether the Court have, or Lave not, the power to etil:rce its order; whether or not, in promulgating it, the Lord Chief Justice arrogated to the Court a rrivilege which it did not possess. .Other PL.oprietors may asst as they please ; for ourselves we Ileclarc,aat we shall in i.ure !mid is contempt cimilar orders of the Courts, if this gross outrage pass unnoticed, because we shall consider it a, a tacit acknowledgmeat that no restrictive lays exists, and we see no re ison why our delicacy shuidd have the effect of a privation to our readers. Since writing the above, we hear that the Pro -1:r:;_tor of tla: raper in qu-stiint has taken refuge in prance 6;1 tl:e es;.iruti:ut of the present special c.taratission, under the idea that afterwards he e ill int be amenable to any law. The Attorney Gent:- 4vc learn, kr., however, pleilged hiatself to iityt- THE NATIONAL REG/STEIL smite, and if he fail, we have no hesitation in saying, that the enaetmont of such a prohibitory law, under proper modifications, should be die first work of the new Parliament.

The Court hating met at the usual hour, and the Judger, namely, the Chief li.uuu, Mr. Baron “arrow, and Mr. Jointer Richardson, ho tug taken their seat'', the prisoner next in rotation, John Fironias 13rtint, was plactd at the Bar, and Mr. Snelwit pnieeeded w salt over the pariels, the foirowing venoms were sworn on the July:-- Alexander Barclav, Thomas Goodehild, Thomas S.
