In order to show the Jury what his sentiments were upon many occasions, both in and out of Parliament, he had had a selection made from hiavarious speeches, as they did not know him, and to re move that impression which the Attorney-General bad en deavoured to impress upon their minds.—(The Baronet read u extract respecting his advice to the Prince of Wales to support his claims by constitutional means); also on the Ms— tiny Rill ; whereby it might be seen that he was no enemy to the soldiers. In another instance, the boroughmongers, he had asserted, had more influence than the Crown ; and that he would also support the just dignity and Influence of the Throne. lie wished the overwhelming power of the borough mongers to be annihilated ; and in every instance he had always defended the three Estates. The Worthy Baronet also read several other extracts, tending to show his vene ration for the Constitution, and respect fur the 'Throne. His object was to show that these were his uniform senti ments; and that it was not his intention to propagate sedi tion in the country ; in order that the Jury might not listen to no unsubstantiated charge made against him by the At torney-General. He never had been inconsistent with those principles. of which his whole life was a sample, both In and out of Parliament. Ile did sot think it necessary to reply to utan) parts of the Attorney-General's speech, as they were not before the Court. Rat the borough mongers, he meant to say, were those characters who trafficked in seats of Parliament, and which all holiest men despised ; and which he hoped would yet have a remedy applied to this sort of oppression. His letter did not go to excite any disaffection in the country—his al logistic.- nits in the person of the King, but he owed none to the boroughmougers ; and his most determined opposition to them would never cease but with his life. If the Attorney- General could -how that he was mad, then he might agree to the charge; hut he really felt that no loan who had been so much before the public as he had, bail ever shown more for bearance. lie had never given way to popular opinion, as a sort Of tiling: the Corn Bill for instance. lie bad also, upon all occasions, shown dne respect to the King ; and. whether situated upon the hustings at Covent-garden. or in the House of Commons, his language had always been clear and intelligible. At no place but Manchester had any dis turbance taken place; and very large bodies had met at iimitittield, York, &e. lie was not actuated by any of those soothes which the Attorney-General had endeavoured to lay to his charge ; and it was certainly unfair, for this Law Ulcer, to infer such improper motives against him; if any danger had existed, why not make it a pee bane pub- Ike question against him, and not bring an ex-a/tele in formation, after some months bad elapsed.—The Worthy Baronet. with notch humour, coseirik•d with a quotation from •• Measure for Measure," applying it to the Ulu of the Attorne‘-lieneral. When Sir Francis Botraet sat down, Mr. Dantean, his Counsel. said, that he would wow call some evidence to prose that the facts stated in the letter, respecting the transac tions at Manchester on the lath of Aerial, were tree.

The defendant complained of this mode of Prosecution—as to delay ; but in this he was mistaken. Why was it to be tried in Middlesex ?—be might perhaps have preferred a Com mon Jury. But, for a moment, it surely must be thought that a Special Jury would be more congenial to his ket ings than the other mode, on account of coming nearest to the rank of Sir Francis Burdett. The Learned Oen tkman concluded a long reply, calling for a conviction. Mr. Justice BEST, after having observed that all that bad been said on es-o ffi cio informations, on special juries, nu parliamentary reform, and on evidence respect ing the Manchester proceedings, was extraneous, pro ceeded to Slate his °pintos, that Leicestershire was the place of publication, and was properly made the place of prosecution. Libel and sedition were not charges that could not be grappled with, and that could not he un derstood. It was unfortunate to have quoted from Boling broke and Switt,who were both discontented.l f the paper in question was written with the same pure spirit with which Locke, that great and immortal writer, wrote, it was no libel. Without liberty of the press there could be no free Government. God forbid that he should ever discon tione to feel attached to it. But the question was, whe ther this paper did not excite to disaffection? or, in other words, was not addressed to the passions? If there were only a few intemperate expressions it was no libel. But if the writer stated what he could not have known to be true or false, if he addressed himself to the 'sliver orders, he felt it his duty, in terms of the Act of Parliament, to direct them to hod the defendant guilty. If they had no reason to suppose him wrong. they were to take the law from him. He had then no hesitation in saying that it was a libel. Was it proper that a man of education and high station, like Sir F. Burdett, should state that blood had bees spilt, because he had found it in a Morning Paper? Nothing occurred that could form any excuse for the most intemperate men, it .ayiag that a reign of terror anal blood was com menced in this country. If terror and blood were on one side, what t have been upon the other ? lie was sorry to find the passage there which stated, " a man ca n die butt once ;" there never was a more striking in stance of the mock heroic. The defendant knew per fectly well that no attempt would be made to interrupt the meeting at Westminster. Could any one tell him that any thing could he ewer pregnant with mischief than the passage respecting the punishment of soldiers? The Government rested not on the army, but on the af fections of the people. If the paper was calculated to do infinite mischief, that mischief must have been in tended. More poisonous ingredients never were con densed in one paper. . The Jury, without appearing to deliberate with each Other, immediately pronounced a verdict of GUILTY of Libel. Mr. DENIRS X remarked. that the verdict did not find the publication in Leicestershire. Mr. Sergeant V A CAN AN contended it did. Mr. Justie.e Bast.

We hare just received, by express from Leicester, the following additional particulars respecting the trial of Sir V. Burturrr On Sir Fa iNcis quitting the Castle, accompanied by a Mend, he was received with three loud cheers from the populace, with the exclamations of " Sir Paarccts and Liberty for ever !"—'l No Blues !" Ike. The Ba ronet, and lila friend, endeavoured to escape from the crowd, and to go the back way to the Inn ; but the po pulace followed them, increasing in numbers at every step ; men, women, and children, quitting their dwell ings to behold the uniiaunted advocate in the cause of freedom, shouting—" Long live Sir rearms acaosrr." On his arrival at the Three Crowns inn, the numbers of persons assembled were great, and an incessant cheering took place for some minutes, calling out— " 1111JIMITT, BURDETT, a speech," &c. The windows near the lan were also filled with females, waving their Mr. Rouser Iluatraa, a merchant of Leicester, ap peared at the window, and observed, that Sir FRANCIS felt himself too exhausted after his exertions in address ing the Jury for three hours and a half in his defence. Sir Fa %meta shortly afterwards made his appearance, and was greeted with the most enthusiastic shouts of applause. lie observed, that what bad happened that day respecting the verdict might turn out fur the hest. He trusted they would retire to their homes in the most peaceable and orderly manner, as he intended to do. He then bowed and retired, amidst the loudest cheering. Sir Vitaxcia and his friend, about eight o'clock, left town for London. Mr. BARNUM leaves Leicester this morning (Friday,) to attend his professional duties at Lancaster, respecting preferring bills of indictment against some of the Man- Chester Yeomanry. We usderstand, that on Tuesday last the Grand .fury threw out three bills which were preferred by females, spinet some persons in the above corps, who had cut and maimed them at the Manchester Meeting. It is said to be the intention of Sir FRANCIS Bunnrrt to move an arrest of lodgment, whenever he is calks! upon to receive his sentence in the Casket of King's 11Mak, ow tbor groomlotliat the venire frarttist/t to lave been laid in Leicester ; and also that the Jury, in point of law and fact, could not give a verdict, no proof what ever being adduced of the publication of the letter hav ing first taken place in the county of Leicester. Indeed, the Learned Judge observed, that when the legal ob jection was stated, and supported so ably by Mr. Des- Nam, who cited several eases to substantiate his arguments, backed by the assistance and eloquence of Mr. Puttues, who animatedly observed, that any Jury giving a verdict where there was no proof on which they could decide, would be committing an act of per jury; that tie point might be reserved, after the verdict had been give, for the opinion of the Judges, if they felt a wish to have his judgment corrected. It is quite certain that Sir FRANCIS BCUDILTT has felt himself much disappointed in receiving a verdict of Guilty. He fully calculated upon an acquittal, from a self-approving conscience, that in no one act of his life he had ever excited the people of England to sedi tion, or an hatred and contempt of the Government; and he felt quite confident, as he observed, that it mat tered not to him what lt men were pat into a box to try him, so that they were men of honour ; bat he should be able to convince them he was not that 'Midair, malicious character which the ATTOANST-GINIRAL bad sharged him in the indictment. la the Courts of Law in the metropolis, the speech of Me faasicis Busman. must have been admired fur its =!., manliness, purity 0 style, and easy flow of , which never deserted him for an instant &dug the very long period of three hours and a half.
