I but the Crown ought not to avail itself of the errors of its servants. But it is argued in law and in reason, that the promises made by the Magistrates of course impli , -d a full and pesteet confession on the part of Hunt—and that Hunt's evidence was partial: and incomplete. This doe. trine may be necessary, in order to elicit from inforinrrs a sufficient confession of the facts, but carried too far it would form a pretest for functionaries toviolatetheirword,whenever it suited their purpose to do so. Mr. Hunt confessed all that was necessary to be known in that incipient stage of the proceedings, viz., the place where the body was con• sealed; and in subsequent stages of the investigation, he might hare confessed more, and would unquestionably have'done so, if the nature of the compact had b-en explained to him—that the pardon was promised solely 'on the condition of his evidence being complete. But the fact is, that an approver's evidence, whether complete or incomplete, is in itself of no value : it is important only as far as it leads to the production of other evidence ; and to a discovery of corroborating circumstances. In this • point of view. Mr. Hunt's evidence was satisfactory, and for that early stage of the inviry it was sufficient. But, who ever knew an approver to tell all things relating to his crime—or to give even the evidence which be does produce, with perfect truth and sincerity? Even in Pro• bert's evidence, there are palpable inconsistencies, which show beyond all question, that his testimony was garbled and meant purposely to conceal many facts and circuit). stances. The saute reaaoninz by whlck t . eaccutionef Hunt is attempted to be justified, would jerify the trial and execution of Probers. Several eneeetions in England ithin the last ten years, have occasiesed s strong and permatent disapprobation throughout the (*entry, and the case of hunt appears to us to be of considerable coose (pence to the character of our judicial proceeding., and of still greater consequence to that branch of she ex e cutive Government, which, in this country, is so clop ly connected kith the dint rihution of criminal juice. According to letters from Paris, dated on Monday last, and received yesterday by expres., a Spenish cabinet courier hal arrived in that capital on the preceding thy, bringing a formal application to the Allied Powers to be. come mediators between Spain and her la.e colonies.

The Journal des Debais of Monday, in inserting as article from a Brussels paper as ictelligenee from Hamburg, of an expedition al'eged to be lilting out by Russia for a Spanish port, describes it as the mere invention of senseless credulity. It contends that notwithstandfrig the revolutions which have taken place, there is not in Peru, Mexico. and South America, " a decided tendency towards Independ ence." It then adds: "In this slate of things, the news of Ferdloanire restoration to the throne may prodnce fresh hesitation amongst the Chiefs, who, generally defiej• ent in skill and firmness, govern the vast Provinces ef Arne' rica under the new of Reptiblican Congresses. The. felt') of the Spanish Americans is not yet wholly deckled : why then should Spain. and, with still greeter reason, her allies, not wait to see what the present sitsstioo of the Cortes, the downfall of their power, and some wise and conciliatory intimations tn-iy produce? Why should the Allies of Spain be gratuitously charged with a project, which, besides the perils attendant on its execution. pre* • I t t i4 s e nts the addition IV absurdity of rendering I milts of pacification which will undoubtedly be trl wir ? These are many chances with respect to , Sou th . Merits ; but even in the .case of a partial separatidn, there are means of causing the New States (when they shall have et last acquired II settled political existence) to enter into a system of Alliance very different (tom that into which I Anglo-American policy seeks to engage then')." These sentiments, and especially the intimation con•teyed in the last sentence. afford a wide field fur serious consideration. Achim from Bayonne, received yesterday morning, bring the following intelligence respecting the proposed amnesty to be granted by Ferdinand. Bayonne, Dec. 30. We have letters from Madrid of the 24th and 95th. They contain nothing very remarkable. and we shall pro. bably, not hear much that is interesting till after the publication of tke Decree of Amnesty. which is said to he la the press, the three principal articles of which are the following exceptions to the royal pardon.

A sudden rise took place, yes terd.sy afternoon, towards the close of the market. This ea• owing to a great failure of an eminent Brok•r in the above house ; as the parties to whom he was indebted were obliged to buy in their accounts. We understand his drafts were returned from his Banker to a considerable amount. The above market at this moment appears very heavy. One Brier Las sold upwards of 200,000 Consols.

The verdict returned by the Jury at Hertford, is ac. cc taint with the anticipations of the whole country. The Ircumstautial evidence brought forth on the trial, although imperfect and improbable, in isolated parts, yet, on the aggregate produces the most through conviction on the mind, and the public will witness the execuiion of the cri- Irina' without the sl:gliteet pain from any idea of the pos sibility of his innocence. IVe forbear to expatiate or pass any comment upon the atrocity of the deed or on the many aggra eating circumstances, which have attended the ease from the first conception of the crime, even to the last words of Thurtell's defence, his awful appeal to the Deity, for we ;would not deprive the culprit of that slight consolation %did' lie may derive in Lis last bouts. from the pity of the public, who we trust, in a crisis so awful, may be inclined momentarily to forget the crime in the sufferings stf ibe criminal. • We may be allowed to observe, that this memorable trial Jolly evinces the injurious and mischievous fallacy lately irsisted upon by the Judge relative to the publishing of a priori evidence.

Sto January, 1823 In ID !.** • arrtrrie~ • The last will.and testament of the late Right Hon. Tho mas Lord Erski ne, was registered in the Prerogative Court, in Doctors' Commons. on the 441 instant. Letters of admi ifs:ration pith the same, and one codicil annexed, av:ng been committed to the Right Hon. David Mon. tagu .14ord Erskine, the son, one of the residuary legatees. Tire late Hon. Frances Erskine, the uife and sore executrix appointed, having died in testator's lifetime. The will is dated the 15th November, 1752, and begins in nearly these uords:—" Being, from a sense of honour, and not front any motive of personal resentment or re• venge, about to expose my life to great peril, it is a cons• fort to me. that I have ,o few duties to fulfil previous to an event %%Welt may deprive me of every other opportunity of so doing." It then proceeds to enumerate certain sums, constituting; the amount of the testator's property, which is s tated to have been all acquired since his practice at the bar, and to be 9,0001. consols, and about 1,9(d)!. more in bills. It is all left, with the highest expressions of (midi. (fence and affection to his wife, for herself and children, they to inherit it after her decease, in equal shares, as they attain twentrone years of ate. But he provided, as on account of her youth she might probably marry sgain, and as such an event, though by no means deprecated by I might be incompatible with time interests of his children, vitt upon purl, secon I niarria.;e the property should be transferred to his sister, Lady .Anne Erskine, in trust for them as above mentioned. A request is left to the testator's brother, the Earl of Bucban, that as his property was net sufficient to enatole Mr. Et skint. to educate his son David in a manner suitable to his birth, that he would make it each as they boil► de. rived front their lather, improved by his own talents and experience. He only excepted from the property left as 'above, the ring and sleeve hnttoni set with h►s wife's hair, in which he desired to be buried, as be u'ually wore theta. The codicil is dared Carleton Hotel, Pall Mall, 2nd Ocr. 1786," and was mails only for the purpose of con firming the cortents of the will, his his property since its execution having much accumulated, and for giving his cl ildren since born, and those he might in future have an equal participation with the others in its provision. From their remote date it is not to be wondered at that the papers are somewhat defaced and mutilated ; and it will be cons;dered 'mat kahle that curb a lapse of time and c'.ange of circumstar ces, should not have induced a man of legal attainments to have left a more recent declaration of his testamentary intentions. The personals were sworn under 1,000/. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. AND ATTEMPTED MURDER ! QUERN SQt•.sec.—Last night the examination of James William Andrew , . Thomas ll'illiam► Elliot, and Samuel Rayne, who stand charged with attempting to rob a nd murder a young man named ellins,on Sunday night last, was resumed. John Collins states', that he is in the employ of Mr.;Beau• fay, South Lambeth. About S o'clock in the evening lie was returning to Lambeth by the Vauxhall Bridge Road, and when near the end of Rochester Row, Tothilfields, be was stopped by a man %silo presented a piatollto him and with dreadful imprecations demanded his money. Two of tic robbers companions joined him, and the three held him (Collins) to take his money by force, but he by strength and exertion extricated himself, and on turning round to escape, the ruffian with the pistol fired it at him, the ball whistled close to his ear, but did not hit him; and instantly the three ran away in different directions. George Staid, of the tirenailier Onards was talking to a comrade at the ►Military Hospital, Rochester Row, when Its heard the report of the pistol and saw the flash. Screams succeeded it, and call of " Stop thief " Instantly the prisoner Bayne and another, ran up the street; he pursued Rayne. but on closing upon him he cried out " I have done nothing, and yon must not take me." Witness answered, " run as fat as yen can, hot I'll take you ;" and he overtoolc him on his turning into Vincent >spare; brought him to the guard hoobe, and delivered him to the eon:oral of the Lenard. Joseph htiff, private is the Cohlstream regiment, knocked down the other man, but fell himielf by the force• The fellow then escaped, leaving his hat (produced) behind in the mud. Toes. Pace, the ofheer, searched Rayne in the guard house, andfuund a powder flask, and several bullets in his pocket. Since that, he apprehended the prisoner Elliot. who confessed having been in his company, the most part of last Sunday, and bring upon terms of friendship with him. Anceber witness stated, that:he had accompanied Pace nest morning to the spot, where the shot was fired, and found the pistol in the mud. It was lying with the lock thrown forward, and the pan open, as it receptly fired The pistol was produced. It was of esquisite workmanship, silver mounted, and, it is supposed, hid been stolen. One of the Bow Street patrol stationed on the road he. twOen.Tothilfields and. Brixton, said that the prisoner.' hl'Andrew, bad been brought to Brixton watch house, without a bat. He refused giving any account of kli nse if,: and wee detained, in coesespienea of its being known that„ one of the robbers bad lost his hat.
