and who make all other objects give way to that. They act always id a body. They are combined from the Western part of America to the Eastern part of England. Their monthly and annual meetings are for the purpose of promoting their pecuniary interests ; in short, they ate a body of men at war with society in general. They have an interest opposed to the general body of the people ; and it is using the people at large very ill, indeed, to give to such a body of men the power of taking away life without bring subjected to the taking of an oath like any other men. We have no objection to their having the power of taking away each other's lives In soy way they like; or, if a Quaker be to be hanged by any of us, rte have no objection to his being hanged upon our bare affirmation, if that will give him any sa tisfaction ; but it will be a pretty law, indeed, to re quire oaths from other people, to hang a Quaker, while a Quaker's bare word will hang other people. We beseech Mr. BROUGHAM to desist, and that he will not insist upon having the lives of all the Christians in England depend upon the bare " SAY SO " of these sleek-headed " friends." This would be a softening of the Criminal Code, with a vengeance ! Paris papers to the 17th instant have brought the fol lowing telegraphic despatch from the army:—" Pampe- Nos is closely invested. The bead-quarters were on the 14th at Villa Franca; they will be on the 17th at Vitto ria. The two corps of the army will be the same day on the Ebro." Vittoria is about 70 miles distant from the French frontier, and almost a fourth part of the way to Madrid. The Quotidienne says that the French army will not cross the Ebro until the corps of Marshal Mon eey and of General Molitor have entered, the one into Catalonia, the other into Arragon. Marshal Moncey will not commence moving until the 23d. The Pilote says that the Austrian troops, which have left the king dom of Naples, and were on their march for Austria, have received orders to halt. The Moisiteur contains a long article on the affairs of Spain. It states that a plan bad been conceived in France for the formation of a Regency on the Spanish territory, to proclaim " Napo- Iron the Second, the legitimate Emperor of the French, and the additional Act of 1815." A man, it is said. now in the prison of Perpignan, was arrested on the froetier, who lad in his possession several copies of an Address to the French army, and a manifesto to the French na tion, %ivied by !'the members of the Council of Regency of Napleoe Capita of these documentsare gives inthe Moniteur. The following is an extract from the mani festo:—" We the undersigned, French and free-men, as sembled on the summit of the Pyrenees and on the South of France, and comprising the Council of Napoleot IL protest against the legitimacy of Louis XVIII. and all the acts of his Government, as tending tO the sotbveision of the liberty and independence of the French cation. We therefore declare and pronounce to be eeti.national every attempt emanating from tools XVIII., or from his Government, against the independence of the !kepis's nation." I Bayonne papers to the I lth lastest, Inset reached as this forenoon. Theylstate, that on the preceding morn ing (which was. An elay after she affair at St Sebastian of which we bad received in aeoottat,) a cannonade was heard in tient diVection. "Thus," says, the journ alist, " We see .01 it it defends itself, though it was said it would not hold oat an hour. O'Donnell, when he shin himself op. in•that place, took with him all the cat tle he met with in his way. " The !French troops, it appears, on their march to Bayonne, suffer much from the bad quality of their provisions and from sickbess. By Frankfort papers received this morning, we have an account from Constantinople, via Odessa, relative tithe negotiation going on between Lord Strangford and the Porta. By way of answer to the preposals which his Lordship brought from Verona, a note is said to have been delivered to him, after the great Divan had been held, which signifies, indeed, the nomination of Hospo dart, and the order of things now introduced in the principalities; but does not touch on any of the other points, and invites Russia to contribute, on her side, to the maintenance of the treaties. The article concludes tl,us :—" However, considering the present state of , things, we are inclined to believe that Russia will be s•,tisfied, and that we shall soon see a new Minister at Constantinople." STOCK EXCHANGE, 12 o'CLoce.—The report of th• AtmliAns coming down to the assistance of France, has not had the least effect on the fonds this morning►, as va rious letters are in town from liamihrg, of a recent date, which do not mention the subject. It is still, however, supposed, that should France experience the least reverse in Spain, Russia will immediately come to her aid. The Expresses from Paris this morning have brought the French Rente4 at £4f. 2tk. We do not Lear of any par tit nlsr information from the army in Spain, except their advance towards the Ebro. Consols opened this morn. ing at NI, at which price they remain steady, with little business doing. FOREIGN MARKET.—Spanish Bonds opened this MOM ing at 30!ifi. Colombian Stock has experienced a con siderable-rise within these few days, owing to the ripen. tation that the contract for its loan will be ratified.

()n Thursday evening Mr. Ellis, the King's Messen ger, arrived at the Foreign Office with despatches from Vienna. The French, whatever they may think, will not have a quirt march through Spain. Morillo, who is very popular in Galicia, the natives of which are known to be the finest and moat spirited in the Peninsula, has been so successful as to raise a levy ea mane in that province. It is the intention of that Gene ral, we are encored from an authority on which we rely, to unite his forces with those of Ballasteros, and give battle to the invaders in the plains of Castile. Letters from Italy say, that a Sardinian squadron is to cruise on the coasts of Spain, to assist the operations of the French Army, and that at the same time the troops of Piedmont .ond Savoy are to be put on a respectable footing to take pert in hostilities. It Is well known that all diploma tic relations have hang ceased between the Courts of Turin and Spain. It is supposed that the determination of France will indnecthe Cabinet of Turin speedily to declare war on lbe Peninsula. Yesterday the despatches for China, by the ship Bom bay. a ere closed at the East India House,, and delivered to the purser of that ship. .v THE STATESMAN.

His death was rather sudden as be was attending his duty, l os Magistrete, at Guildhall, the week before last. Apgancy is occasioned by the event in lbe repre sentation of the Ward of Farringdon Within. The wor t)), Alderman succeeded Sir Charles Flower in the Mayoralty, and stood ha oil the list. • We have received infortnetien from a quarter on which we can rely, that from 9D to 100,000 Radians are marching to the aid of the French Ultras, and that they will arrive by wey of Dantzie.—(Afernieg Chron.) It appears, says a French paper, that this year Gene rals are not the only persons who perform acts of prow ess. The wife of an officer of high rank is mentioned, who had the courage to maintain herself alone in a house which her husband had abandoned, and who, by an energetic defence, had succeeded in preserving the place. The siege was raised on Monday. [This seems to Ire an allusion to the Duchess of Denim, the wife of the Mi nister of War, who, during the absence of her busbaed, would not remove from the official residence, to make way for the ad interim successor.—TRANSLATOR:] Ow BOARD 7R. U. S. Scuooygn, Igo. Dec. 26.—There have been for the last two or three dayk great rejoicings, illuminations, be. at Lima, in con *nonce of recent information from the Patriot army at Africa. It is asserted, a powerful ladies (lief has espoused the Patriot cause, and joined them with 4000 Indians, bringing with him 200 bead of cattle, awl pOO,OOO dollars. Infantry and cavalry have been gotng i out from Lima in small numbers for the last month.-. About 4,000 of Bolivar's troops and a considerrble body of militia remain in the city. The last accownte left the Royal army in the valley of Sammos i bat a short distance , from the Patriots. It is thought the latter will not risk a general engagement until they receive sufficient foie forciments to reader victory certain. This meeting of the contending armies will, no doubt, if the Patriots are successful, put an end to the war in Pers. Should It prove otherwise, which is hardly probable. it may pro tract the war for years.--Cdmerterse Papers.) A Boston paper says that 400,000 dollen have been subscribed for the erection of ao Exchange at New York. It was at first proposed to expend a larger sere. but it is now thought that the trustees will reduce their plan to the amount already subscribed. By advices from Ilavanna to the 15th ult. received through the American papers which arrived yesterday, we find that great activity and bustle prevailed there, in consequence of an apprehended attack from the British naval forces in the West• Indies. Every seaman found on shore was pressed into their service. and efforts were making to put their military defences in the best condi lion. These apprehensions, since the line Ministers in tend to pursue. has been so distinctly marked out, are, of coarse, wholly without foundation. A mail from the Leeward Islands has arrived, with letters from St. Thome'. to the 21st alt. The persuasion being then general that hostilies between France and Spain had actually commenced, the movements of the French naval force In the West Indies were anxiously watched. It was so firmly believed in the islands that England was to side with Spain, that it was given out at Porto Riao that the English flag was to be hoisted in conjunction with that of Spain es soon as the declaration of war was received, and the report obtained credit the more readily from the circum stance of there being at that time three or four English. ships of war in the harbour of St. John's. Several French merchantmen had taken the alarm, and fled from Porto Rico to take shelter in the neutral ports of St. Thomas's. It was also stated that a rich Spanish ship from Havanna to Europe had been taken by a French man of war. No letters have been received by this packet either from Trinidad or Tobago, and it is feared, therefore, that the mail-boat which should bring them to St. Thomas's, has been lost. The Company's ship Marquess Camden, from Chins, ar rived off the Lizard the 14th inst. • the Princess Amelia, also from China, off Portland yesterday ; and the Asia, from Bengal, off the Start on the 15th fast, The Marquess Cam den left China the 28th November, and Princess Amelia let December. The Asia left Bengal on the 4th December, ar rived at St. Helena 15th February, and sailed from thence, in company with the Marquess Camden and Princess Ame lia, on the 20th February. The .Princess Amelia and Mar quess Camden spoke the Marquess of Huntley. which left China a few days after those ships, in the Straits of Sunda. The Lady Melville. bound from China, is stated to have been seen going into the Cape on the 4th of February. A profitable catch of what are termed " Boy Macke rel," (a small fish) has been made at Hastings. Our boats have not, as yet, we believe, in any number put to sea, although the middle of this month (April), the time of their fleeting is now passed. The first catch of mackerel, a little more than an hundred. was brought to our beach iesterday.—(Brighton Herald.) DRURY-LANE THEATRIL—Mr. KEAN'S return was last night greeted with enthusiastic bursts of applause. The Play . was Rickard the 'Third, and Slr. Kean displayed all his wonted excellence in his repetition of the charac ter which gives title to the piece. Besides the great number of houses at present undergoing repair, a great many new buildings are going briskly for ward, in this town and neighbourhood. Sit or eight cot ton mills and power-loom factories are about to begin, and more are in contemplation ; so that, in addition to the great number of power-looms at present in full activity, from seven hundred to a thousand more will be set on about Wldtstinday. Notwithstanding the arrival of a great many mechanics from all parts of the country. wages have consi derably risen, and masons, joiners, plasterers, and slaters, ere in high spirits, looking forward to a summer of unusual stir end prosperity. Materials are advancing in price. The Baltic timber hes as yet risen but little ; but the Northl American timber, which is the wood chiefly used in build log, has of late *deemed from 30 to 44) per cent. Four' months ago, it was sold at Is. Sd., and it is now going al briskly at ifs. 3d. and tt. 4d. a-foot. We are likewise happy to bear that a number of new coal pits are to be opened. —(Glasgow Chronicle.) --a COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—{Tees DAT•) ni.asettestous PUBLICATIONS. • THE KING V. TRUST. illiS day, at the sitting of the Court, Joseph Kilbam Trust, bookseller, at die corner of Newgate-street, ap peared on the floor of the Court, and beard the informa tion filed against Mtn by the Attorney-0 I, for hav ing published a work, entitled, " Palmer's Principles of Nature," read by Mr. Dealtry. He then addressed Mr. Justice Hotroy tf, observing, that he had just heard read to him an information, to ahich he was called 'on to plead; but, before he did so, he most earnestly requested his Lotdship to answer him one question, which was, that he would be kind enough to inform him of the nature of the offence he was said to have committed, or to define to him what was meant by the term "blasphemy;" for if his Lordship's opinions should he in unison with his own, he would plead Guilty. Mr. Justice 110LROYD said, be, the Defendant, bad heard theinformation read, and was called on to plead to It. The Defendant said, he was ; but the information charged htm with having published a blasphemous libel, but he most earnestly assured his Lordship, that he was einitely ignorant of what blasphemy was. and, therefore, he hoped Ids Lordship would be kind enough to assist his Igno rance ; as he really did not know whet offence be had eon silted, or what he was called on to plead to. Mr. JUSTICE Houtovo observed, the officer would read liVer the information to him. The defendant said be did not reqnire that, for he was aware that it went on to state spun, that he bad pub lisheo a blasphemous libel.

The Recorder immediately sentenced him to be well whipped in the Docks. and confined for twelve months is the House of Correction. and there kept to bard labour. It had been expected that the Sessious would have ter minated this morning, owing to the comparatively light Calendar. It appears, however, by the arrangement this morning, that nearly 100 prisoners remain to be tried for offeaces committed since the Calendar was printed, and, during the time of the sitting of the Grand Jury. It is probable, therefore, that the Sessions will not finish be fore Tuesday or Wednesday next. EXECUTION or Mas. M.Ktartrow,—No execution since that of Brodie in 1788, has excited Ito powerful a sensation as that of Mrs. IlliKinnon, which took place here this morning, for the murder of Wm. alowat, on the Sib of Eebrury last. The unhappy woman haying finished her devonous, and prepared to meet her fate, ap peered. about 25 minutes past b o'clock, preceded by Baillies Hill and Dallas. and leaning upon the arum *I the Rev. Andrew Thomson, and Mr. Porteous, chap , lain of the gaol. She was decently deemed io mourniag, with white frill and Sweepers,. ,ta large shawl over her shoulders ; and wore a crapit vell, partially throws back, so as pattly to discover her features, ,which die played an 'expression of resigned donsposura. As she approsebed the scaffold, the greater part of the people who Hoed the way, or who were !Atkin the railing round the scaffold. uncovered their heads. She ascended the stair with a slow and rather steady step, and when she reached the scaffold, was accommodated with a chair after which a short, but fervent and appropriate prayer, was pronounced by Mr. Thomson, during which she fainted. A glass of water was brought her, and she soon revived to resume the same unexpected tran quillity. Having taken farewell of the Clergymen and Beillies, she ascended the fatal drop, when the executioner proceeded to do his duty ; and while adjusting the rope about her neck, she seemed to be deeply agitated, though not to such a degree as greatly to aimed/mime. her. When every thing was ready and the fatal signal in her hand, she lifted the cap or co vering that had been drawn over her face,snd very grace fatly . curtsied to the spectators on all sides. An im pression was produced by this that she meant to address them ; this. however, was a mistake; far though yester day she intimated her intention to complain of some harsh treatment she had experienced at her trial, she allowed herself to be dissuaded against giving vent to feelings of resentment in her last moments. After a few moments, apparently spent in mental prayer, she gave the signal with firmness, and thus was this unfor tunate woman launched into eternity. A second or two after she was thrown off, her body gave two or three convulsive heaves, but neither her hands nor feet were its the smallest degree agitated, and she appeared to die almost immediately.—The mass of spectators extended in- a dense and compact body from the Exchange to the scite of the former Weigh-house, and probably amounted to 15,000 or 20,000 individuals. As always happens on such occasions, a great majority of them were females, among witom, however, we could not discover the indi cation of any peculiar sympathy for the unfortunate wo man.—(Js'diabergh paper of Iredaeeday) Brook Green Fair, is now formally extinguished. The Magistrates have had several Meetings on the subject at, Kensington and at Hammersmith, hearing the cases and evi dence on both sides ; and when assmbled in Petty Session for the liammershith division, last week, the Megistrates agreed to, and signed an or let' declaring th e " illegality" of Brook Green Fair ; that it would thenceforth be.* auppress led ;" and that any person or persons endeavouring to resist such order, or to act in violation of its commands, would be I I prosecuted according to law.

Business is doll among the shippers at Salteoats and Irvine just now ; but the salt-pans at Saltcoats are un usually brisk. The two companies have six pans, and they make above 200 bolls of salt in the week. Formerly, about this season, they used to have from about 20110 to 2400 bolls on hand. At present, however, they can hardly an swer the demand, and the salt is frequently sold and taken off the very day it comes from the pan. Twenty-tight pounds are got now for Is. 6d.

We have great reason to expect that the removal of the I.ent Assizes from Thetford to Norwich will at length take place. The Magistrates of the county, at the Sessions held on Friday ae'nnight, came to an unanimous resolution, that such a measure was highly desirable, and appointed a co.: - ulittee to report on the best means of effecting it. —(So rfo:k paper.) A Special Meeting of the Corporation was milled by the Mayor on Monday last, to ta:os into consideration the pro priety of presenting a petition to his Majesty, praying that two Gaol Deliveries might be held in this city during the rer. The petition was agreed to, and the Mayor (R. Hawkes, Eeq.) and the Recorder (Chas. Savill Onley, Esq ) were desired to present the ante at the ensuing Levee, which is to he held on Monday next.—(lbid.) Monday, informations were duly sworn against three men of the neighbourhood of Annatown in this County, for for cibly taking and carrying away from Annstown.strand some manure, the property of a Gentleman of the neighbourhood, who, upon hearing of the circumstance, went and endea voured to prevent them, but whose remonstrance, proved ineffectual, he obtained for their apprehension a warrant from a Magistrate of the County. The warrant was placed in the hands of the Chief Constable of Police. Expedition was deemed necessary. One of the Sub-Constables was sent on Monday evening, with three of the police, to execute the warrant. Upon arriving at the house of one of the men. about 1 1 o'clock that night, the Sub-Constable demanded admittance in the Ems's na me, telling the object of his visit. Having waited a considerable time without an answer, the party commenced breaking in the door, when a man jumped out of a window, and ran off. He was frequently cailed up on to stop and surrender tolthe warrant. Ile heeded them not. Continuing to run, he was . fired at by one of the party, and killed.
