Wright said, the debt was of two years standing, and he had been promised payment of it in another quar ter—after looking to that quarter in yam, lie was now compelled to look to Mrs. Clarke. I mentioned to him my surprise at his trusting Mrs. Clarke with a large fresh bill; and he said, ie reply, that it was the only chance he had to re ceive what she already owed hint. I alto remarked, that the furniture was too dear and expensive ; to which he observed, that Mrs. Clarke was • rhishing, gay lady, and liked it in style.

Wardle, es well as myself. She said, she thought the house very small and asked ‘, what is it to Col. Wardle, what house or furniture I have, bets not to pay for either 1" On cross-eximination by the ATTORNEY-GENE.. ILL, Mr. Olennie gave a detailed arraign of the trip to the Mertello Towers,aed its causes, as stated by Mr. Alley in his opening. Colonel Wardle told Lim that Mrs. Clarke would furnish hint with oh servatious, which he would rather have (as he Glen nie supposed) in the presence of his two frieuda, than all alone. He had no particular wish himself to step forward to stop corruption. He wished to see it stopped in every deportment of the State, and knew that this was Colonel Wardle's object. He did not go with a preconceived hostile opinion against the utility of the Martello Toward to criticise and tied fault with them, but merely to satisfy his mind as to the use of their erection. Ile had not seen Mrs. Clarke recently. but had seen her frequently after this excursion. He took notes of what she mid, not about the Martello Towers—they were merely memoranda of things she told them the Duke of York bed communicated to her about his own family. He did not record them ; he re gistered them, that he might not forget them.— They did not Mg uire into these things ; they were . what she told them spontaneously. Q. You did not omit a single anecdote, which could be offensive to the feelings of the Royal Fa-, tidy ?—A. I took notes of all she told us—of the creation of Barons, Lod of Peers—of the appoint ments of Generals to districts, and of matters in his own family. I had certainly a right to exercise my .own curiosity. The Arroattlf-Ge k Go• away. We have the. paper, here. They are a disgrace to man." Mr. Illiagtvorth called, sued exa:nined by Mr. ALI.ET. He is a wine.merchant.and resides hi Pall-Mall ; has known Dodd ten or ele.ven years; never saw Col. Wardle but once, before he came to him with Dodd, about the latter end of December. They • conic together to get hint to lend his bill to Mrs. Clarke for 3001. No owatrity was named, but they said they would guarantee the money being paid. No secrecy . was if-messed on him. In consequence or this ma, he called on Mrs. Clarke the same day, told her he came by desire of his friend Major Dodd, to take her note for 5001. pre vious to his granting his bill for that sum, at three months, to Wright. She said she did sot know the forut of a note, but, if he would write it on• • slip of paper, she would copy it. lie did so, mid she gave him the note on a stamp he had carried with him for the purpose. Ile re collected no further conversation at this time. He gave his bill to Wright, and took the security of .. Wardle and Dodd, payable a short time before it was due ; he drew upon each of them for 2501. iffe had no other converwition with Mrs. Clarke, sad did not believe Colonel Wardle's name was mew. timed on the occasion.

Q. 11 - ere you not surprised, efterwerds, to fluid your affidavit in the newspapers, with all those pate sages retained which you h a d ex p unge d ?—Af I did not see the paper, but was surprised on being told of the circumstance. . .

Stated, that he was a House-Agent, cud that Wright applied to him for a house for • Mrs. Fare guitar, which she wanted for a month or longer.--o , Wiight stated that he was going to furnish • house for her, hut did net say who she was, nor did be ask questions. Mrs. Clarke, as he afterwards no- derstood, visited him under the name of Farquhar. Wright and Captain Thompson caine together, and paid his month's rent. Wright said he was come t• pay the rent, and that the stranger was Captain Thompson, • relation of Mrs. Clarke. Ile dale net know which of the two gave him the money. He believe" the Sneriff's Officers took Mrs. Clarke_ from his hodse. Cross examined. He recollected that there was a dispute above the stamp on which the receipt for the rent was given, but not that he mid As there is a witness present it is of no consequence;" and that the witness signed it. The ArrourdEr-Ggferamr., handing in the re ceipt—" See how h you are mistaken ; it was not Captain 'Thompson, but mother person, that was introduced, and here is his signitare to the re ceipt. Go away, Mr. Bull, you have forgotten every thing about afe matter." . Mr, Bull said, he had not forgotten, but recol lected all about it. He was positive the person was introduced as Capt. Thompson. • Sarah Muinford examined.—She byes with Mr. and Mrs. Ball, and recollects the house being taken ' In the name of Farquhar. She went over it itoiih Mrs. Clarke arid Mr. Wright. Wright sail he was hooking out for ti house to furnish, but that Mrs. C. wanted one at present for a rounth or more. Dr.l riot say who wes to furnish it. Joseph Curt sworn, and examined, stated, that he keeps a collee-house, in Coventry -street, and recol lects an application being made to him, in October 18U3, to take a hou.ie belonging to him, at Weet bourne-pince, for a person of the name's( Forsythia. has since heard that this person is Mrs. Clarke. lie agreed to let the house to her, provided she gave a proper reference, which she did, to Mr. Wright, in Rathhone-1 lace. On calling on Wright, lie re quested him to be candid, as one tradesman would be to another. and tell him fairly how the lady was situated. Wright assured him, that Mrs. Fargs•. her was very respectable; that he had received several thousands of her money, and if he had fifty houses, to let she should have her choice of them all ; he believed she had been mar. vied, but did not know if her husband was alive or not; he had afterwards a conversation with Mrs. Clarke, in Bedford-place, and made some remarks as to the furniture there answering the house in Westbuttroc-place, as they were nearly of the same size. Tu these Mrs. C. answered, that this furni ture was too old-fashioned, and she would only take the beds, and some ether articles, to her new abode. He met Wright in November, as he was coining from Westbourne-place, when Wright told him he was going to measure far carpets and fen ders. After some dispute about her fixtures, Wright paid him 1061. for them on Mrs. Clarke'a account, by a check on his Yonkers. William Hardy called. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, he was ready to admit. that Wright had paid for work done on the house at Westbourne-place ; but the Counsel nn the opposite side choose to give it in evidence. Wm. Hardy was therefore examined, hut failed to sub stantiate the proposition. He was a carpenter, and had been employed at the house in Westhourne, place, from 19th November. 1800. Except (in the Snit iindance) when he was ordered to the job, by a person he did not know, lie had always received his orders from Mrs. Clarke's housekeeper, and had invariably been paid by her. Mr. Gillebrand, clerk to Mr. Ellis, was next sworn ; but the ArroaNtir-Gssteriat, prevented his examination, by admitting that, in the case Allan e. Clarke, Mrs. Clarke had pleaded her covertiire, and that, in this action, Wright had' been her hail. He else admitted the policy of in surance to he made in the name of Farquhar, and about 10001. in the name of Clarke. It was dated 31st March. and contains a notice, that, if the goods are not insured in the name of the owner, the • policy is vend. Lord Et.tEsariaouGit" Nothing can he drawn from this, but that they have foolishly made a fool ish insurance." The lasi witness called on the part of the pi ovc cution was Sir Richard Phillips. who, being sworn and examined by Mr. GLeiDE, stated, that he was a bookseller in Bridge-street, Blackfriars ; he had hid conversations with Mrs. Clarke respecting the book she was about to publish. Ha had also con vened with her about her debts, particularly once at Westbourne-place. At that time. she stated her obligation to pay Wright 60001. mentioning this stun generally as what she had to pay him for fur niture scut iuto Wwnl.ourile-place. This. conver sation took place about the 11th or 12th of March. Cross-esemined by the ATTORII IT-GS It las L. Q. I take it tor granted there was no one present at this conversatio n .—A. Mr. Sullivan was present et the first. Q. You► memory, Sir Richard, is not of the best : did you make a niemoianduin on the occasion ? A. I consider this as a very improper question. Lord Etriasinoaoutiti—'‘ It is simply as to the nature of memory." Q. Sir Richard, I asked the question, because I have examined you as a witness before, you know? --A. You never could impeach my testimony. Q. What was your next conversation with . Mrs. Clarke, and when I—A. I informed her of the de cision of the House on 31it March. at Westbourne ' place, when she repeated the same circumstances in a more enlarged manlier. Q. Was there any one present on this occasion ? —A. None but myself. Q. What did she say ?—A. She said she must make the most of her book to pay for the furniture. It was then proposed to call Lord Folkstoue, but the Counsel for the prosecution, on consulting, thought it unnecessary to proceed any further in the examination of witnesses, and here closed their case. The ATTORNEY•GENZBAL then rose for the de fence, and said :—" My Lords and Gentlemen, the complexion, the colour of this prosecution, is to be collected, not only from the tumult which has raged outside, and which we have all heard, but also from the mode in which the Learned Gentle man has been instructed to open this case. It is now the prevailing fashion, when a man is in dis tress, to take up the independent line, and turn patriot ; to commence his career by a tilt against corruption, and bawl for reform, while he abuses every thing and person that is exalted above himself. Mr. Wardle, at his last shift, after trying every ex pedient undertake which he thoeghtcould avail him any thing, has now instructed his Counsel to say that his witnesses have been dismissed from their situa tions (by Government as was to be supposed) be cause they had fairly and honestly supported hitn and the cause of rectitude. This insinuation, particu larly in the case of Dodd, did at first rouse my in dignation ; now it only excites my disgust and contempt. For, Gentlemen. I know the cause of that parson'. dismissal, on which I myself have been consulted months, nay years, before ever this business, this political project of Colonel Wardle was thought upon. A clue to the nature of this case may, however, be discovered in the evidence of Mrs. Clarke, who states to the world, in open Court, that after Colonel Wardle had tried every means to get her to compromise matters, and con sent to a reference to arbitrators, at last eudeavoure to frighten her into his views by threats. He tells her, through the mediums of Corfield, his attorney, that if the matter is carried into Court, Mr. Ser jeant Beat will cut her up; that it would he• her min, and that he (\lr. Wardle) would give it out that the whole was a trick of Ministers.— If this assertton, or rasher evidence, you fillies Mr. • Wardle had his ream*: he might hive caned hid Attorney, Corfield, t 6 contradict it.—What is there then at the bottom of this action ? There is nothing of troth—nothing of honour—nothing of integrity—uothiog but wickedness. It is unnecessary fur the advocates for Defendants "on a criminal case to call on the Jury to give it their most rerions con- I sideratiou mud attention. They would do ao. unasked, at all times • but, lts a case like this, where I an twinned and unheard of mode of proceed- 1 ing has been adopted, for the purpose of 'national-re ing my chents out of their witnesses, I am sure you will favour rue with a double portion of your regard. Here we have an indictment preferred against three persona, for conspiracy, instead of an action against two of them IMrs. Clarke, add Daniel Wright) for perjury, and against thethird (Francis Wright) for subornation.—l defy, Gentleman, the oldest and moot learned at the Bar, to state an instance of such a mode of proceeding, which I may therefore fairty call unusual, unheard of, and iofacuotes. It has been selected by one Wl* is not anxious for justice. But is there any evidence of conspiracy or confedera tion ? No ! It is attempted to be proved that Francis Wright had suborned the witnesses on the . former trial to perjure themselves. The f'rosecutor, if he believed this, ought to hare prosecuted the two for perjury, and the other for subornation, for his only act of conspiracy roust have been that crime. If this had been done, the course of justice would not have been perverted, and the mouth of every witness(even the wife of enrol the present Dee fetid:Ants, F. Wright) shut up, who could have been called to defend my clients in a pmper prose cution, while it was attempted to establish a cause by the testimouy of worthy friends, all on one side, and the evidence of the Prosecutor himself. Still, however, I do not decline the unequal con. teat ; I will undertake to sinew, muter all those dis couraging cuciunstances, that the verdict was right. In order to this end let us consider aho the parties are. In the first place there is Mrs. Clarke; she tells us, that, as late as 1808, she was in owl knee, capable of supporting the expenses which she was eo well inclined to embark in. In that state, Mr. Wright did give her credit for 2,6001. ; 20001. was paid, arid 6001. of course still remained. After this period, a reverse took 'dace in the affairs of Mrs. Clarke, she was no longer in that state of af fluence, nor had she any means of paying the debt; this was the period in which Colonel Wardle be came acquainted with her. He would hive you believe, that Wright. the upholsters r, entrusted her with the sum of 20001. for the purpose of inducing her to pay the 5001. which she already owed him ; this is to imagine Wright a greater fool than society will possibly furnish. Mrs. Clarke was a beggar, and lie • creditor not paid; and such is the expe dient upon which he is supposed to light fur the purpone of insuring payment. Bust who are the other parties?—There is, first, Mr. Wardle, who was at this time occupied with the most ambitious designs. Ile hoped to acquire a great reputation, by the inquiry into the conduct of the Duke of York. This war the object upon which his whole soul was occupied, and, as the means of carrying this object into execution, lie resorted to Mrs. Clam ke. I should mentius it as a curious and necessary fact, that Colonel Wardle did not think it expedient to disclosethe circumstance of his giving Mrs. Clarke 1001. in flint first three days of his acquaintance with her, during the whole course of the investigation in the House of Commons; if he had, I will venture to say, in the presence of minty honourable men who were:Ages on that eccasiow, that both he sad she would have departed with very different treatment from that which they experienced. Mr. Wardle bad every thing at stake, honour, popularity, all that he considered dear to him, and all those must have been sacrificed and lost,without the assistanee of Mrs. Clarke, and her assistance must have been a hopelees and vain speculation,. without the as surances which she swore, and swore truly, that Mr. Wardle had made-her. None of you, I believe, will think that Mrs. Clarke is a foolish woman : why then should you suppose that she wou'r. dive Mr. Wardle the assistance he required, without ex acting from him those means which her situation rendered so necessary ? Besides, you will remember her threat, at a tune when she was endeavouring to bring those with whom she was formerly connected to terms ; she threatened, that if they did not come into what she proposed, her new friends would do more for her. Thus, Mr. Wardle was up to his very chin in this business—he was so far com mitted, that nothing could be neglected which might bring him through ; and Mrs. Clarke being the person upon whom, in fact, his fate depended. he must have cot into her terms, whatever they might be. Next, how does Major Dodd come for ward ? He stands in the situation of a private confi dential Secretary to one of His Majesty's sons ; knowing that an inquiry was on font, implicating, in a criminal manner, the conduct of the Duke of York, and yet leaguing himself with those who were conducting it, he was embarked with Mr. Wardle and Mr. Gleunit ; and they were all of them certain of being ruined, if they did not succeed. What other thao an interested feeling could in duce him. to,contLine with those who were endea vouring to pull one Royal Brother from his seat, and then go fawning upon another, who, he knew, so far from authorising, regretted the circumstance? I sin not willing to make charges against any man, but when such occasions call for them, it is my duty not **shrink. The next witness is Mr. Glennie,whu is no less interested than the former. Major Dodd told you already that he did not care for public feel ing; yet he went off with an eulogium upon morality, public spirit, and virtue. Mr. (Aerinie ton represents to you thut his journey to the Mertelto Towers was mere accident ; but look to him on this accidental journey, and you will find him committing to writhing, with the most anxious care, whatever. in week and foolish moments, was divulged to a person undeserving of confidence. I could scarcely thiek It possible for a man to descend so low ; nor do I believe it would have bees acknowledged if I had not the affidavits Isere to render prevaricating dangerous. The sitcoms really is, whether Mr. Wardle %as made an sodertuking to pay Mr. Wright for the furniture, or whether it was gives apse the credit of aka Mire herself! You see that he could not go es 'Olivet her ; and yea are to decide sport the probs. batty of her erroperotisg 'with him for no advantage or be. neat whatsoever Besides, her it be remembered, that the very thoyaher their arrival from the Martell° Towers, Colonel Ward% sag Major Dodd waited Non Mr. Wright ; sad let this hatoshigarsd to the aerosol of Wright) who said, Milt he would sot give aim Clothe any credo whatsoever, until Mr. Wardle wswt so_pladge liasself for the payment.

As to what he bee stet in his letter to the people of Eagland, saying, that he taught to believe that se Jury would bring in a verdict up the testimony of Ma Clarke or Daniel Wright, though Do were so witnesses adduced to contradict that testimouy ; do sot hesitate to state, that such so assertion could have fouudatiou in fact.
