COURT OF KING'S BENCH—(Tau Dot.) CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION V. JOHN HUNT. This Was a prosecution at the instance of the above Asioe iation against the defendant, charging him with the publication ofa libel on his late Majesty, in the first sou ther of a publication called the Liberal, under the title o r Vision of Judgment," and which was calculated by snacking th • late King, to bring his present Majesty and the !loyal Fant.ly into hatred and contempt among the Pr 6 oaPlly five special Jurors answering to their names, Mr. o.)Lp:us, on beliallof the prosecution, prayed a tales. !d r . Anot.rues rose and addressed the Jury. The ditty devolved on him of expl - sning to t leM the neture of the 'fired libel. They had already 'Jaded that it was an snack upon a deceased Monarch. It was a libel at once 'cordons, disloyal, and impious. It would be urged, be bail no doubt, on the other side, that this prosecetionr was w iles.. or it would have been undertakes by the legal officers oldie Crown. With respect to its emaneting ho s ao association, it could make no differenee to the ee f en d a nt, who, if any thing, obtained an advantage there• bi; lie not being proceeded against by criminal informs: Lion, bet by the process of first stibmitting the indictment to the sarntiny of a Grand J ury. Fora long time before the death of thelateKing,tbe hand of Heaven lay heavy on him. Every thing in his.condltion was calcolated to draw forth the most warm sympathy of his p eople . Ile was agad—bliod— sad bereft of that understand ng which bad ouee been the ad• siiration of the nation.—Y4A these were the infirnsittes on w hich this gross librller dwelt, and at which he levelled the shafts of his resumed sailer. The title of the work was— .. Tar Liberal,' a specious sound, but which the present work showed to'have been 'most strantely misapplyed. It ought to have been " The Libertine." The work was the pro duction of individuate; whom distance from this country made valiant, and who, knowing themselves to be safe, sent forth their poison to contaminate the land.—They desired from attacking the living, that they might ransack the graves of the dead. The li tel commenced with a Vision, which the writer pretends to base bad of the gates of Ilea• yen, and tow Melt he intrudes himself with a degree of levity, impiety, and grossness, which nould disgrace the rabble of a pot honse. Nor does this levity forsake him, when be Iles( ribes the Divine preset,. e; that presence I efor.t. which the Immortal genuis of 31ilton crouched with asc and terror; but Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." Common Caere tss.l ascribed the poem to the pen of a writer, rho might have stood foremost in the rank of genius; but who had, if it were rightly ascribed. degraded himself to a level, from which Lis genius could never again raise hi r. It was a libel Ist once calumnious, impious. gross, and malignant i and he trusted that the Jury would by their serdif t this day, deter others from &similar course.

SIR —ln your Paper of the 10th instant, 1 noticed an article copied from a French Journal, in which it was tad, cn the authority of that moil despicable Madrid puhlication, Called the Restaurador. that Lopes Banos ano myself had - been publicly insulted in Gibraltar, by the officers of the garrison. Were the fact true, it would be t. disgrace to those who offered, rather than to those who received the insult; but the contrary was the case, for the British officers of that garrison, feeling as tnen and as Britons for• the suffering Spanish Patriots, did whatever was in their power to relieve them in their miserabl , situation. To me they were so particularly kind, that the officers of the 43d invited me to an elegant dinner, and thorn of the 6lth,' besides different acts express' re of their risility and sympathy, went so far as to ask of Lord Chatham (when I was, together with some of my fellow countrymen and fellow Deputies, sent out of the garrison) a permission to spend a day with them; which favour am sorry to say his Lordship flatly refused. Nor were these the only proofs of the feeling expressed in our ifavour by the garrison of Gibraltar. Following the example of the ether inhabitants, they contributed to the subscription intended to facilitate the passage of many of us to England; and, were it rot for their benero• lance, we never should have reached this land of freedom and h ospitality. I think these facts ought to he IsoosfOs as they sseleslY honourable to the garrison, and inhabitants of Gibraltar. and consonant to the feelings prevailing in England, where, with very few exceptions indeed, we have met with a friendly and cordial reception. I hope, Sir, you will have the goodness to insert these few lines in your Paper, as they are the pure effusion of nay gratitude far favours which 1 shall remember as long as I live. 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, A.

General Mina did 0..1 is the first race, nor, as was observed, by ooe of the Advo ea es, did Squib go off in the last, consequently tile Defendant lost both the wagers. The Defendant relied upon a declaration that he - would be off the wager., ahich declaration was proved to have beets made to tile holder of the memorandum about an hour and a half pi evious to the races bring run, and when it wee known that General Mina would not start for the 25ele. stakes, but the Leaned Assessor, John .Ailiiisow,juti...Serf. considered the dei.:nce insufficient ; he said the 'defendavt must not be allowed to lie by for it e• spa-e of eights:we ten days, and then, upon finding that the u.dals were againae rescind the agreement, which, At the lino, of making' of it, was as fair as suet tiansactious in general are, and. in an answer to a question from the Jury, whether a party could sot declare off a wager at any moment before the race upon which it depended was run, the Leaned Assessor observed, that upon a play or pay bet he apprehended not.

It wss else mentioned that he was acquainted with the mysterious absence of the. Rev. C. C. Colton. Considerable credit, was given to the report, it being well known that Probcrt had some acquaintance with Mr. White. through a person named Beard. On this account public curiosity was afloat to ascertain the authenticity of the statement, and• numberless persons, amongst whom were many sporting characters, and frequenters of the " hells" of the west end, visited the police offices, and made anxious inquiries of the officers connected with the 'stab lishitiect as to the a'curacy of the report ; and not feeling at all s.ti tied with the answers they received, which were generally, " Probert is not in custody here." thinking that his arrest was ord.red by the Magistrates to i c e kept secret several repaired to the relatives of Mr. White,. to whom they applied for iuforination, but could learn nothing to gratify their curiosity.

There were some rumours that lie bad gone to Liverpool for the purpose of proceed• ing to America; and his creditors got Mr. Beard (a man I • . who had eXtensive dealings about hills, &c., with Probert Proarrawriow.--The match from Worcester to Union. and Mr. White's brother in law) to go to Liverpool in tight (11g a.iles in 37 hours) fortalmOsovereigaa. baster Steers, fi r g e e vhersotr.tsh whosei re feats search of Mr. White.
