Jairlast ties stirstwy *la sot t might then have amused whom be Government, is possessed of all 4 the facts, and it bee documents the most autism* which prove that this infamous oonspiriapy was batched by the Priests sod the Ultra-Royalists, who haring resolved to get rid of their adrerstivies, the purchasers of national pro perty, and Protestants, lighted the flame of discon tent, and by their agents LE DAUS, PUIEUR I &c. got the people to revolt, havitig previously planted troops wherever they bad instigated rebellion, who fired on the poor misguided people. LE DAUX was detected in his treason, awl killed in the streets by one of his victims. Pascua being caught in the fact, the Prevotal Court thirsting for the blood even of its agents, would have condemned On to death as itdiff the poor captain ONDIN, bet he told them they dared not, that if they did be would unfold the whale : the threat bad' its effect, and the infamous Mitsui was taken from the bar of the colprit'te give evidence in the box of the witnesses. ft is, therefore, a greet imprudence in R0111:11T to call the attention of the Public to these deplorable, acmes. lied he consulted General CONNEL, and many others, all pure Royal ist:, they would have entreated him not to raise that veil which covered this monstrous intrigue. The scaffold has done justice on the poor miserable hire. lings i they employed, and the shafta of justice dew *co geld. that it suffocated the voice of thin subaltern egoist& ; but the great smog are ftee-aahey;strut about with impunity—they fill the public places, and boast of being good citizens, "spollessßooltrig,"ind Moir illeprodest panegyrist aiiiiirsileGovernetent of thicrlsee they alone committed; for our part, in demi, we rejoice at it—the truth will now assuredly be elicited, and we shall see whether there be any power, avowed or 'secret, strong enough to paralyse the efforts of the Ministry, and protect Wise titled assassins, who make the name of Royalist a title to commit every crime, at which humanity shudders, with impunity. Woo be to them when the official revelation of their crimes shall be made public— it will be the death-blow to the pretensions of the Ultra-Royalists—it will then be seen that this party, throwing off all sense of shame, feared not to push forward the Jacobins, the Bona partials, and the Revolutionists of all classes, io order to immolate them all at once to their tantalian third of vengeance, by which means they hoped to resume the ascendant; that this infernal intrigue having mise carried, they employed the Judges and executioners to cut short every revolution by their agents, and bury the truth in the silence of the tomb. Yesterday f attended the Sittings of the Chamber of Deputies. The report on the Law for Recruiting the Army was brought up and read by the Reporter,Count D'AMBRUGEAC. The French really are children in the science of Legislation, they have not in general the least idea of fundamental laws and constitutional rights, and all the efforts of the sound part cannot make them conceive any thing so sacred as a Royal Ordwinance—all La ws framed by the National Re presentatives, and saismianed by the KING himself, they count as duct in the balance when compared 1 with a Royal Ovionninre, which " may and can abrogate any law whatever." We will ask after this, are they in a situation, or do they merit to be free ? of seniority Wag Um law for military that the King alone, as till! fountain of .1i a right to select what Officers he pleased, to i But, to return to the Reporter of the Committee : be took a very singular and noconstitational attitude, and appears rather as the champion of the King's Prerogative, then Reporter of the Committee, which disappro►ed a part of the proposed law. What in explicable inconsistency It would seem, that to speak against the Project of a Law is only opposing the Ministry,and this gains bursts of applause, while, in fact, they propose to reform what the King him self (who has the initiation of all laws) proposes to be done. The Reporter endeavoured first to esta blish the " loyalty and frankness" of the Commission, composed, as he said, entirely of military men. In several places he had the air of saying—such a Corn- Intsion cannot tolerate the least attack on the Royal Prerogative. The Project of Law intended, that henceforth is the Army advancement should take Place as in the English Army, according to seniority. Against this article he vented a warlike indignation, %%I in the name of the Commission - asserted, it Ita a crime against the king's Prerogative ; to think promotion, ------ -I S. . ort them wkat raitit kb plefted.

What e contrast this bumble manufacturer presents to his contemptible persecotors, and the pious and humane Secretary of State, Lord SIDMOUTII, before whom he declared his innocence, and boldly chat. lenged his Lordship to produce proof of his guilt in any action of his life. Did this just, pious, and compassionate Lord produce his proofs? No—none at all, but thrust him into a dismal dungeon, a cell for condemned criminals. I shall conclude fey let ter in the words of FRANCIS WARD himself:— " After losing my seat of work—after having been torn away from an affectionate wife, beloved child. ren, and a poor helpless mother, all dependaut me for support—after having been deprived of my liberty, shut up in a dungeon, my health impaired, and my character traduced by a vile wretch, a hire ling Journalist, I ask, in the name of reason and common honesty, whether there is not some redress for such • complication of grievances, for such mul tiplied evils? or whether a Bill of Indemnity, ob tained by a corrupt majority, is to be all the satis faction which I and my suffering family are to receive for sock unmerited persecutions, and the losses we have sustained ?" hope, Sir, that every person who has been imprisoned under the Suspension of_ the Habeas Comes will publish all the i►articufars of his arrest sad subsequent treatment, like FRANCIS WARD, that just and general indignation may he excited against the tyrimuical measures of his Majesty's Ministers. Your's, &c. - FIRE IN 'SHEERNESS DOCK-YARD. ......ini...... JUSTICE& On Friday night, about half-past nine o'clock, this place was thrown into the greatest consternation by the ringing of the alarm bells in the dock-yard, the beating of drums, end the firing of the men of war's guns. It was occasioned by a fire having broken out in the house belonging to the steam engine erected for carrying on the new works, si tuated in the southern part-of the dock-yard, near the kilns used for burning cement stone. The most serious apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the arsenal; and what was more distressing to the• feelings of the spectators, was its contiguity to the work-house, which, from the pressure of the times and want of employment, is crowded with many un fortunate individuals. Providenre, however, averted the impendiuf danger, and about 12 o'clock we had the pleasure of seeing the raging flames subdued, with only the loss of the engine-house. No NM, it is oodrrstoed, have been lost, but one poor man is se ierely hitt. • Captain Walker, of the Northumberland, and the Officers of that ship, Lieutenant Griffin, of the Swan cutter, and Captain Brown and the Officers of the Ordinary, with the military officers and soldiers of the garrisou, assembled on Cie first alarm. The latter were under arms the whole time, and were of great service in keeping off the spectators. The in. habitants of the town were at one time under serious apprehensions, es the fire was not far from the Fours. tain Tavern, and the residence of Mr. Miller, in High-street. At the former, the landlady of the house had but recently lain-in, and was removed on the first alarm being given. Sir Robert Barlow, from Chatham, who super intends during the absence of Commissioner Boyle, was here.ostesslay., to investigate into the cause, which it is suspected arose from carelessness. The -damage, however, has not been so great as tray at first expected, and which might have been but foil the prompt and effectual assistance that was given.— (Skeane°, Jan. 11.) Sunday, between twelve and nue o'clock, while the family wire at church, the dwelling-house of Mr. B. Lancaster, No. 9, Chester-piece, Kennington, was entered at the kitchen-door in the area, and robbed of a quantity of plate, and other articles. Sunday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, as Mr. Cocks, artist, of Amelia- place, Baker-street, , was returning home with a friend, after dining with another friend in Alpha-row, Lord's New Cricket Ground, they were attacked by three ruffians, one of whom knocked Mr. C. down by a violent blow with the fist. They robbed him of his watch sod about" 1. and repeated their violence *hen be was on the ground. There being no person within' hearing, the villains unfortunately escaped towards the Re gent's Park.

JAMES COLLINS, Tudiroki Pettus , . LEY, &SALES PUGIISLEY, AND - It.%HMT. An action for • prosecution for perjury malicious ly instituterl i and without reasonable or probable came. The declaration set out the indictment, upon which the Plaintiff had been acquitted its April last. Mr. SCARLET; in stating the case far the Philos iff t said that his Client, a most respectable surgeon in Neogate.street, complained of one of the most grievous injuries it was possible for a man le.society to sustain ; his character, hitherto unitspeached, had been assailed, his personal liberty put I. jeopardy * and his peace of mind destroyed by a pending prose' cution, for which prosecution there eziited neither reasonable nor probable cone, and for which' the malice of his enemies was the ouly foundation. The case was complicated, and might occupy mach time both in the opening aud.the proof. The Gilt Defoldaht, Collins, was an attorney; Mr. T. Pughsley was also in the profession; Mr. Charles Pughsley had hems a surgeon in the country until his bossiness *as one prosperous; Mr. Hardy was their intimate friend and warm coadjutor in this tong:kW * the object of which was no less, than by attacking the respectable character of the Plaintiff, to defeat his claim upon the estate of Charles Pughsley on his bankruptcy to the amount of more than 50001.: they hoped by threatening to hold him up to the world as infamous and perjured, to frighten him into en abadonment, not merely of his legal claim, but of his reputstion and his honour. the Plaintiff was the owner of cer. bin premises in Islington, which had been let to a person of the name of Weaver, a floorscloth Wino. facturer, who deposited the lease in the hands of the Plaintiff, as a security for certain advances. At this period Charles Pughsley entered into partnership with Weaver, who bad pretioesly bees connected wish a Mr. Lerner, and in order to enable Weaver to continue the concern independent of the debts cot tracted by him and Lamer, the Plaintiff bed gives Vs Looser a guarantee. Soon afterwards the *hole con cern clime into the heeds of C. Pugbsley, end the debts affecting the premises were transfered to his. Weiver was declared a tank, opt, and Mr. Beveridge of course was celled upon to prose his debt against the estate ; and it then became a question what se cuticles for it he had in his hands. Medical meth of all others, Were lent acquainted with law proceed ings, especially of this kind ; end a Mr. Coote, by whom the Plaintiff was professionally assisted. ad. vised him to prove to the amount of 3871. 17s. stating certain securities ia his, possession, consisting of an assignment and certain bills of exchange; but he did riot include in that file k bill of eschew for 2001., d awn by Weaver pits, a Mr. Chistily, and endorsed . to the Plaintiff. Vietnams for the omission wait., obvioes and pro"' since the Plaintiff did not held it as a security for a debt due from Weaver, but in consideration of the gusrantee given to Looser against the claims 'of the joint creditors. Mr. Coote prep pared Oki deposition of debt by the. Plaintiff accord.. jingly, and bl'airore to it before the Commissioners on the 23d of Decembx„, 1915. It was upon this deposition that the r perjlity upon which the Plaintiff had been acquitted *as assigned. Pugbsley was not more successfef at ihe floor-cloth-moo. factory than Weaver, his predecessor, nod the whale amount of the deiri interred by him to the Plaintiff, by he/ own admission, was mere than 60001. He was art-reed at the suit of the Plaintiff in September, 1816, and a Cimmission of Bankroptcy was bleed agaisat him on the 25th of the following month. The first meeting was on the 2d November, and there Mr. Col!iiis, the Defendant, appeared as the attorney of certain creditors, and resisted warmly the chiles of the Plaintiff, and Gaily succeeded in indecing the Commissioners to refuse the proof of the debt. Mn.. Beveridge in consequence declared his resoletiewto present a Petition to the fiord Chancellor. To defeat the effect of this application was the thief 'object of the prosecution, the drat hint of which was given. (though not ofiderstood till afterwards) in a letter from Conine, who had prevailed in the appeintment of assignees, and of himself as Solicitor under the Comnsitsioo, to Mr. Coots, who .had acted as the Attornwy for the Plaintiff.
