To sties, that the exertion, of that ex cellent nom had nut been directed in favour of any cause, oat allowed by your own Government, it world be sulfi• eient to remind the Court that some time since, the Spanish Regency had applied to our Conrt for an embassy •• which should recognize them in their political character of a Regency ; and that Mr. Canning had declined the ap. Ovation. observing that this country had already a • minister at the Spanish Court; alluding to the minister Inersettensling on the King. It was scarcely necessary for Pion * to go on to show the national feeling which had been displayed by the people of this country in favour of Spat) • . Liberty, but he *mild jest recur to the proceedings . which took place in 1808. on occasion of the resistance Of the Spanish p•ople to the invasion of Bonaparte. Tice people of that eonntry desired a Representative Csinsti• Cation similar to our own ; and in pursuance of that desire, • hid elected Deputies, two of whom were entertained at use City of London Tavern, by a ntainernus and respectable Company of Merchants. A sum of 1,350 f. was then col • hosed in aid of their funds. Recently also a similar dinner bad been given to the Doke of Sao L o renzo, the Spanish Minister, and a libetal subscription was c Alerted un that artesian. This national feeling bad been still further displayed in the oeurseof the debates in Parliament on the important questions arising out of the Fretsob invasion of Bowe. on which occasion even sonic of the Ministry had expressed their wishes for the success of the Spanish_ calm. which was the cause of resistance by representative • C ove rnsnent against the insidious designs as well A 3 the open attacks of the Alliance calling itself Holy. public press bad - also laudably & etergetically given every acpport it could to this righteou • came. lis want of • success, and the fate of the gallaet General Whose name appeared in the requisition. were well known to all who 1. earl 11im, Having thus geoerally stated the mature of the a Nett Which was before the Court, and of the natation with • which he should conclude, Ise thought it might be as well • to anticipate some of theohjectione which he had no doubt would be made to the motion. .1t might be said that such a =Mimi was without precedent. This he denied. A mo. • aemeat had been erected in Westminster Abbey to the me. s• sley of O'Neal ffaoli ; and what merits load he to com pare with those of the late General Moo ? A inonnotant sfa she been erected. and 4 ally so, to the memory of Model. the composer. Lie had therefore clearly sheen that the erection of udogemeats to the memory of (O rel/sera Was not without Precedent. Another objection ts.-iiht be. that a, sum of money had been voted by the Cgiet for the assistance of the Spaniards ; and that no sc coitist of its appropriation had been furnished to the Court. Aa one of the Spanish Committee. he could state of his own Ireo•ledge, that all the looney voted by the Court had been liroperly :applied ; and that an account of its .expenditare irweld be given is due time. A quantity o f arms had b een Porchased with a part of the money. Thole arms were still in '"iggistenceilbough it might not be prudent to state where they were. Hut they would be saki ; and the produce of the sale would be 'sodad bark to the I:operation. There woof& no doubt be another objection raised, en the ground , that any mosey •to he voted •by the Court had better be applied to the assistance of the Spanish sufferers who halt WeirettUthe • recent rendirt, - awl had taco refuge iaelkh country. The practicability of this was. however, . Ire*, questionable ; for they were high-spirited people, and the appeared not to sokcit or to place any value on pe mammy suppbrt.

I saw Oil the ground a pair of gloves, and a small walking stick wniel had been borrowed by the deceased at the toll gate just before he was murdered, and a vast (smuttily of blood running down toe cart ruck. Next morning early we went to the spot again, and in a piece of turnips about six rods from the spot, bat in a line with it to the right 1 found the hazel stick now produced, (it was a most formidable weapon, end slit at one end by the force with which it had been used ; it was stained with blood.) A little further, (about twenty rods ), a man that was with me callod me. and going up to him. 1 saw a brown greet coat and a hat. The coat 1 knew I. hare belonged to the deceased, having seen him wear it ; a Hole further, under a piece of bark, 1 found a pair of silver spectacles in a red morocco case, a two-bladed knife, pencil ease. awl comb.—(here the articles were pro. deiced.) A knife found by the constable on the prisonew seal belonging to him. was compared with the cut in the bludgeon ; It was notched, and was found to correspond with the notches in the stick.

From there I traced the same foot steps to the piece la turnips, where the hat, cost, end other articles were hound. ( lite knife found in the piece of turnips was toy deceased brother's. the handle of which I gave him. and he bed hail new blades put to it in Loudon.) The footsteps footnoted Moog the side of the turnips, and then went in a slanting direction across the piece of land leading back towards the spot where the warder was ,cornr milted. I began to compare the shoes with the impressions on the earth from where I first saw footsteps, near where the blood was, and back again to. the sasses spot, and found them exactly agree in -tie and shape, and la seine of the steps part of the impresoiou caused by the nails curre spouted with those in the shoes.

Widmer', of Newport, sworn.-1 am a huckster. On last Mondav evening I was at the Coach and Horses, at Quioden, and w•as drinking there with the prisoner Pallet: About .a grafter before eight o'clock in the evening, we both left the Coach Mines together, and he rode on my donkey as far as Quinden Want, leading to ' Widdington, where l left him; he went down the Want, and passed on through the gate, towards Walden. Jut:rm.—Did you seethe Walden coach pass you on the road ? Witness.-1 can't recollect ; I was rather in liquor at the time. CORONM—Recollect you ars on your (nth, and you are bound to speak the truth. Witness.--I am speaking the truth.—Pallet said he bad no money. and I gave him threepence in halfpence, to pay for a pint of a porter. I am finite positive I did not give him a silvir sixpence. I owed him nothing. lie purchased a penn'orth of oysters of him, for which ho paid him a p•ttoy. (It was stated by the landlady of the Coach and Horses, that just as the prisoner left her house be paid fur a pint of porter with a sixpence.) William Dellow, Ostler at the Coach awl Horses at Qnewien Street, sworn.—On last Monday evening, about hslf past seven o'clock, the deceased came down by the Walden coach. whieh stopped to change horses at the above house. He left. his luggage there, and said he should ride as far as Quenden Gate, and walk the other distance. When Mr. Mninford's name was austutioned, the prisoner left the Moose, before fresh horses were put to, with Kid• inanpand went towards Qunden Gate. I went with the goads, And on the road we passed the prisoner and Kiduaan, and. they kept within twenty rods of the coach all the way. On getting to the road leading to Widdington, I lost sight of them, and never saw any more of them. When Kidwell left-the house he appeared to be sober. CORONER.—Kidenan, you hear what this witness states. I are you sure you did not see the coach ? Kidrn tn.—l have spoken the truth; I have no recollection of seeing the coach pass. George Say, the lad belonging to the Qunden Turn • pike, sworn. About ten minutes before right o'clock, I Mr. Msinsford got ol the Walden Coach at the gate, and asked in- to lend him a stick ; I did so and he went away, after bidding me good night, down the road towards Wig. dington ; about five minutes after, Kitlinan passed through the gate on a donkey; he was alone, and I saw nothing of Pallet. Jaror —How did Kidinan pay the gate ? —Witness : He gave me live farthings, and said that was all be had.— Juror : Did be appear sober ? — Witn r sl. Il e p aid me ver y I well. ~ono. Cock, of Dibden, weaver, swern .:—On Saturday alitfut a fustisight ago, I heard the prisoner Pallet, say at the Queen's Head at Walden, that—" Little Jeta utuford (meaning the deceased) had bad them up for getting drunk, and he wished he bad the little 'rascal there, he would smash him, bet he be cursed if be would not be a • match for bim." This was all I heard him say, and I went house. Susan Reid, wife of George Reid, of Widdington, swots 77 ,l beard the prisoner say about three weeks ago, that Ise should not mind hacking .41r. Janes ifunforit's whistle. He was then standing at his own door; he made the observation to himself, to person was present. I shook my head at the time, berauie it struck me he wean* by what be said, " outlaw; his throat" Air. George &elms, surgeon, of S tffron Walden, sworn ; on Tuesday last I examined the body of the deceased; I found a lacerated wound of thr..e incnes in extent on the left side of the lower jaw, which in my judgment was in flicted with the sharp edge of a stick (the stick found had an edge of this description.) I found all the bones of the cranium were fractured, except the frontil bones, which must inevitably have caused death. The injury on the head would (it apportioned) have killed a hundred persons. I am satisfied the injury or the head was produced by some blunt instrunsent, and must have used great via- knee. At 5 o'clock there bring no other witnesses to examine, the Coroner addressed the Jury in a very able manner. — They had heard the testimony of the witnesses relative to this most unfortunate and dreadful affair. He hoped they would, previous to tneir returning the verdict, dismiss from their minds any prejudice that so recent and so hoe , rihle a deed would naturally excite in their minds against the accused ; and he also hoped they would dismiss from their minds any thing they naught have heard outside this room, and to confine therms-Ives to what they haul heard sworn• to upon this inquiry. Haring made those observe• tions he would recapitulate theevidenee. He thee read over the testimony . of the witnesses,' explaining the rime as he proceeded. in a Truly perspictione manner. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of--Wilful Murder against John Pallet. l'he prisoner was then committed on the Coroner's war• rant to lake his trial at Chelmsford Assizes. It is supposed that the Brand Jury have adjourned, in order that the bill of indictment might be brought before then', so that the prisoner will be tried at the present Assizes. - The prisoner, during the investigation. was glens with the Keeper of Neweate thol..in an adjoining room, and in which room was Mr. Hall; the Clerk of Sessions at Newport taking depositions of the witnesses, previous to their being examined by the Coroner. After the depositions were read over to the witnesses by Mr. Hall, and signed. they Were sent to the Coroner. who again examined the witnesses as to the truth of their statements. This plan was arranged for the pdrpose of expediting the investigation, sn th;t the Jury might return a verdict in sufficient time to convey the prisoner to Chelinsforl, to take his trial at the present Assizes. The prisoner was in the most depressed condition during the whole of the time, and in fart( ever since his apprehension. At times lie'appears to be fainting, and was supplied with water and restoratives to keep life in Wm. It is a fact, which has added no little to the overwhelming distress of the family of the deceased, that a short time auto a misnuderstanding took place between the deceased sad some members of his family, end ,the deceased ranee to [Amami to sepsrate himself from his relatives till they became reconciled to him. A friend of his effected a reconciliation between the parties, and the deceased was on his return to his paternal roof, to receive the affectionate nelcome of his parents, to whom the separation. thongli short, hail been painful, when his agreeable anticipations were destroyed by the hand of the assassin.
