EDITOR, As various illiberal, unfounded reports, are in circulation, reflecting on the conduct of the Seconds in the late unfortunate Duel between Col. Montgo mery and Capt. Macnamara, I feel it my duty, as the Second of the latter, to state (with his know ledge and approbation) tl:e following particulars. As the origin of the dispute is irrevelant to my pur pose, I will make no comment on it.—Capt. Macna mara and myself, accompanied by Mr. Heaviside, on our way to Chalk Farm, overtook Sir William Keir, who making himself known, 1 left the chaise, haying previously received my friend's instruc tions.—After the first compliments were over, Sir William Keir observed, " This is an unfortunate business, but I hope we shall be able to do it away." I replied, " Yes, I hope we shall ; but, Sir 'William, I will at once inform you thet no apology will conic from Captain Macnamara, as he feels himself the offended party." I then re lated the particulars the dispute, as Sir William apreared unacquai -.A with them. Sir William observed on the w. • a arrogant, used by Capt. M. I agreed with him e at it .vas a severe word, but that the condua of Col. M. had drawn it from Capt. M. Sir Wm. then wished to pin off the meeting that evening, observing, that he hoped in the morning we might do it ..way ; and that he thought it wes petting too dark. To this I replied, that I lamented the very prompt appointment of his friend, Col. M. who had so decidedly fixed the meeting at precisely two hours from the untie I delivered Capt. M.'s message, and for that purpose had set his watch to mine : that, as to the Isla, having accepted Col. M.'s time, it was not for us to objea to that, even were it moon-light, but that, as I was equally anxious with him to do away the dispute, I would, the moment the time was expired (if Col. M. did not appear) quit tl'e ground with Capt. M. and wait on Sir Wm. Keir at any time he pleased, that evening or the follow ing day ; but that I did not think we could, as men of honoar, quit the ground till the time was elapsed. A few minutes before the appointed time, Col. M. appeared ! Sir Wm. Keir then went from me to speak to him, before they proceeded to the ground. After a very short conversation Sir William and Col. M. walked towards the wound, Sir William or dering his servant, in French, to king the p p stair. I then direetell a servant to bring mine. When on the ground, S!* Heir and I went apart, and I then repeeted i that ii s. old make a written apo logy, it was not now L., Sir William spoke to the Colonel, but soon Laurned, saying, " A written apology, yon know, Capt. Barrie, would be entirely out of the question ; but Colonel 2.1. declines mal.ing any apology."—The pistol: were then loaded, and it was agreed that they should stand at twelve pates &taut from each other, then level and fire as they pleased. The exchange of shots was elm's' instantaneous, but Cot M. fired first. The parties were immediately conveyed to Chalk Farm, and while I was binding up Capt. M.'s wounds, Sir Wm. Keir informed me Col. M. was dead. Sir William then waited for me till my horse was brought out, .tnd we accompanied each other to town.—Tbis, to tlie best of my recolleaion, is a corrr.El account of the conduit of the seconds. Roar. Basal& Oar. Berk basing se:it the above statement to Sir VI . Keir, received the following answer Losios, May 2, 1803. es Sir, I twee read the inclosed, which is, as far as my memory serves iske. a coma statement of the substance of what passed begwees us.—Your most obedient servaat, di W. Rill." • To Cap. Barris. LEEDS, APRIL 30. At the Sessions for this Borough, held on Satur day last, the following prisoners were tried : William Smith, clothdresser, was indicted for hav ing, along with another person unknown, violently assaulted Mr. N. Johnson, of Holbeck, merchant, on the night of the 14th of Nov. last. It appeared in evidence, that this man having met Mr. Johnson, at the time mentioned in the indklment, accompa nied by his daughter, and attended by a man-ser vant with a lanthorn, said to his accomplice, "Is that Johnson ?" and being answered in the affirmative, the prisoner cried, " I)—n him, down him." He then brandished a stick over the prosecutor's head, and having placed himself in a threatening attitude, Mr. Johnson closed upon and seized the prisoner by the collar, who after throwing away his stick, said, " Now I'll fight you like a man." The assail ants having thrown Mr. Johnson down, and struck him several blows over the face and body, one of them thought it prudent to decamp, and the other would then probably have followed his example, had lie not been detained by Mr. Johnson, who courageously determined to know who he was, whatever personal injury he might sustain in tile attempt. The other man having fled, the prisoner was obliged to surrender, and submit to be taken before a magistrate. No witnesses were called on the part of the prisoner, and the Jury pronounced him- Guilty. The Recorder, in passing sentence, described, in very strong language, the heinous nature of the offence, and observed, that he had no doubt but the prisoner's intention was to commit murder; he glanced at the outrages committed in the West of England, from whence this man came, and la mented that the spirit of insubordination and revolt amongst mechanics, had become so alarming (a striking instance of which, the learned Gentleman said, had occiarred within the last' ten days,) that the Legislature ought, and should be applied to, to torm some strong law, dire6ted to the suppression of this growing and dreadful evil. He then pro nounced the sentence of the Court, which was that the prisoner should be confined 12 months in York Castle. 7obn 114Ills:Jon was tried on a charge of having used the following seditious language, at the George and Dragon public-house in this town, on the 2tith of February last :—" D—n the Jury that " found Colonel Despard guilty—l wish they were " all in hell—and Colonel Despard's head crammed " down the Km's throat." We consider the publication of this cause impor tant, as it will tend to corm& a mistaken idea, which the late State Trials, and the serious charge against this man so soon after seemed to countenance, namely, that in the event of a political tumult, the insurgents expelled, and would receive material assistance from the town and neighbourhood of Leeds. Mr. Christian opened the proceedings by an eulo gium on the Constitution under which we have the happiness to live, and the consequent folly and criminality of those persons, who either by words or alions, attempted the subversion of this glorious and unrivalled fabric of human wisdom. The manner in which the prisoner was this day tried, he observed, was a striking illustration of the truth of this remark, as there was an instance mentioned in an early period of English history, where a man had been executed for a similar offence, which was for wishing, that a stag, horns and all, was in the King's belly.—l-le then stated the circumstances of the case, as developed in the evidence for the prose cution, and contended, that it was highly impro bable that O'Connor, without any possible motive, should swear an untruth ; while the evidence on the other side was liable to much suspicion, as coming from the prisoner's friends. Having gone pretty much at length into the nature and possible conse quences of such offences, he proceeded to call evi dence. Nicholas O'Connor, a corporal in the 18th regi ment of dragoons, said, that while sitting in his quarters at the George and Dragon, on the 26th of February, the prisoner, who was also in the house, got up, and dire Ling his discourse, first to the with ness, said,—" Colonel Despard was favourable to all sol dicrs—he never brought any of them to punish anent ;" then turning to two men who sat on the other side of the room, he used the words mentioned in the indklment. Witness then seized him, and insisted on knowing his name; but on the landlord saying he would be answerable for his ap pearance in the morning, he suffered him to depart. Witness went immediately to Major Allen and men tioned the expressions he had heard, when the Major ordered him to bring the prisoner to justice. This was the only witness called on the part of the pro secution. Mr. Heywood, counsel for the prisoner, then rose, and after saying, that from the heat which these charges gave rise to, he had come to the determi nation never to appear again in this court as counsel for a prisoner charged with an offence of this na ture ; but at the earnest solicitation of several of his friends he bad been induced, he hoped for the last time, to sacrifice his own feelings in this particular. He then observed that the learned gentleman who preceded him had occupied much of his own time, and the time of the Court, in a panegyrick upon the Constitution, which every one who - heard him, and none more than the prisoner at the bar, were ready to assent to ; this, however, was at present no more the subjea under consideration than the school-book story about the stag and the horns being in the King's belly : he could furnish the gentleman with another case quite as much in point as that he had mentioned; this was a dialogue betwixt Bardolph and Sir John Falstaff : Bardolph, who had drank sack till his nose was as red as a burning lamp, from some provocation, • wished his nose in Sir John's belly, when the facetious Knight replied, " God-a mercy ! I should be very sorry if it were, for it would give me the heart-burn 1" Mr. Heywood pro. ceeded to comment on O'Connor's evidence, and contended, that it was not of a nature to be set in competition with the strong conclusive testimony that would be produced for the prisoner ; it was possible that the witness, who was an Irishman, and came confessedly from a part of the country where the native Irish is spoken, might be mistaken as to the import of the words he heard ; this was more likely, as in giving evidence, O'Connor had used the words ridicule ana defy in a connexion quite unintel ligiiile to an l.nglishman ; and if he spoke the lan guage unintelligibly, he might understand it so iin perlealy, as to mistake the words which the prisoner • really had used, for those imputed to him. Having dwelt on these and a variety of other topics, in :t speech of much force and ingenuity, he proceeded to call witnesses : Robert Rayner, a fellow servant of the prisoner's, deposed, that he was in company with him when the words charged in the indktment were said to have been spoken, but that he did not 13;:ar him make use of these expressions; he did indeed say, " Col. Despard declared his innocence to the last ; if he were guilty he deserved all he got and more, but it he were innocent the witness that appeared against him ought to eat his head." Two other persons who were in the room, (and to whom O'Connor said the seditious language was addressed,) both swore that thevheard no expression s of the kind, except that one of them heard the pri soner mention " Despard's head," hut nothing about either the King or the Jury. They could not swear whether O'Connor, when he seized the prisoner, charged him with having used the language men tioned in the indiament, or only in general terms with having said something wrong. Mr. Rayson and several of his people were called ; all gave evidence as to the good and loyal charaeter of the prisoner. Some of them had heard him talk in the usual tittle tattle way on political iubjeas, but never heard him express a disloyal sentiment; he had been in Mr. Rayson's employment upwards of twelve months. Mr. Christian replied. The Recorder then summed up the evidence, when the Jury retired for about twenty minutes, and on their return gave a verdit of acquittal. The following Anecdote is taken from Broca', publication of a The Conduct of Heroic Women during the French Revolution." a One of the prisoners of the Luxemburgh had a dog, who, it will be seen in the following recital, gave extraordinary proofs of sac;acity, as well as of attachment to his master. tvery day the dog watched an opportunity to pass into the interior of the prison, and, entering the chamber of his master, overwhelmed him with caresses. One day in parti cular his demonstrations_of joy were so reiterated as to become exceedingly troublesome ; but the more his master strove to render him quiet, the more im portunely the animal persisted in his caresses ; he leaped, howled, barked, and bending his head down ward, appeared to direct the attention of his master to his collar. Concluding the dog had been wounded by some accident, he then examined him, but find ing no kind of hurt upon him, and being seized by his restlessness, he attempted to put him out of the room. The dog however escaped from his hands, and displayed the same tokens, till his master took off the collar, when the animal again began to bark and to whine, but no longer with a tone of inquie tude. Surprised at the manifest change in the man ner of the dog, the prisoner direaed his attention to the collar, and found that it held a letter from his wife, who, constantly repulsed at the door of the prison, had found this means of conveying her sen timents to him. He replied by the same courier. A regular correspondence was now carried on, and every day at a certain hour the faithful commissioner of affection passed and re-passed with his invisible message."
