The Prisoner had been conviled of a burglary in the dwelling house of George Parker, and sen tenced to he haigcd, which sentence was afterwards changed into transportation for life. It appeared that he made his escape from the caravan which was conveying him to Portsmouth, iu order to put him on board a transport. William Blackman, a police officer, stated, that having received information that the Prisoner was in a house at St. Giles's ; on the 3d of September he went there, and found him in bed. Understand ing the Prisoner was armed with pistols, be imme diately secured and handcuffed him; but, his hands being remarkably slnall, he got loose, seized a po ker, and struck the Witness a violent blow on the arm, a- the same time threatening his life. Upon examining the room, he found an iron crow, a phos phnrus bottle, some matches, and two wax candles. The Cossuom SILIUIANT, in charging the Jury, observed, that the identity of the prisoner was the principal fag to be ascertained, and this had been clearly done. It might have induced Royal Cle mency in his behalf, if he had been found using any legal trade or calling ; but, on the contrary, be was discovered fully prepared to exercise the same prac tices for which he had been formerly sentenced to death.

The prosecutrix stated, that she was a pocket book maker and jew eller, No. 9. NJW Bond Street. On the loth of January last, toe prisoner came to her shop, and 1-•akeJ out a number of articles to the amount of eight naiads and sixpence, which he desiied to be di reaed to the Hon Mr. Leslie, to be sent to Cnl. Leslie's, Stable Yard, St. James's ; he took in his pocket the pencil case and other articles mentioned in the ind•ament, and ordered, that the bill might be sent with the rest of the at ►cles exaaly at five o'clock, ;IS the family a'ways dined at that hour. When the Prisoner was asked whether he would put any Tie:Coss to the nevi be answered, that he knew nnthing about the lady, and had witnesses to conttadia her ass,: t Michael lnglatield, who was servant to Mrs. FAvey, and present at the transaftion, corroborated her tes• Manny.; he fm ther Added, that he went home with the Article, as d re.l d, but could not find any such person; he then . floored at the houses of th Duk-s of Clarence, Kent, and Cumberland, and at lAst found. th it Gen :r.tl Leslie lived in Duke -street, S:. James's. He went there, but they knew no such pet cm. He co.ild posi.ive.y swear to the p- sots of the Prisoner, a.. he took 1 ar..culAr notice of him ; at that time his &cis was not `le same ; he had a shab by cost, his h.tir half powdered, and he wore soldier' gaiters. It struck him as./ I' MA; kW, thing that a person of his name, And .VllO had given such an or der, should be so meanly dressed. Mr. George Cumming stated, that on the Ist of September instant, the Prisoner at the bar came to Mrs Titkey's shop, in Bond -street, to purchase sortie jewellery, which he ordered home. Mrs. Tukey, having some suspicion, carried the goods along with the Prisoner, while the Witness walked at some distance behind. Wh:n the Plisaner dis covered him, he ran away, and Witness pursued ald apprehended him. luring the pursuit, the Prisoner dropped his shoe, which Mr. Cum ming produced in Court. It had three cuts, in the centre of the sole, which evidently ap peared to have been made for the purpose of con cealing sm all articles. The reas 'n the Paissner as.igned for its being cut was, that one of his feet was Larger than the oth r, as his great toe had once hen broken, a projeted out far beyond the rest. Oa the part of the ptis.•rter, IViiliam Ryder stated, that he wa; serva it t Sir Richard Pearson, the Lieutenant Governor of Greenwich College, he had beets Lie .tenant's Mate on board His Majesty's s hip t h e Repu:w, commanded by the HOll. Captain ; he knew the pr,snner perfeEtly well, his n ime was James Johnston, and he was for a length of time the wimfss's shipmate. When the witness left the ship, pi isnner succeeded him as Lieutenant's Mate. He positively swi,re, that the ptisoner was never on.:e over the ship's skie to go to land, from the month of September, 1303, to the latter end of March 1 tst s th.rt ahem Christmas they sailed from the Note (or the North Se ys, and did not return un• til March last ; all that time he never lost stAiit of the pi isoner. Edward Mountain, a tailor, living at No. 4, car bortw•street, Fitzroy-square, said, that 112 had read letters from the Prisoner, to a lady residing in Tichfield•street, but wh, was then in %Vales, slated at sea, in the month of January Isar. The Prisoner was then asked, had he any more wittv.sses ; he replied, that his father's brother at teaded : he could not produce his father hisustif, as h e was a very inrirm rdd man, and he wished to keep the buaness a profound secret from him. '" . . Nlrs. Kivey and Ir were again c a:ied, and sw.trz to the person of she Prisoner. The.

The Jury retired, and after a abort consultation acgiaskil die PflSOlaCto CEZZAR PACITA. The last accounts from Constantinople lain, many particulars resneniiie the present sta... rf Egypt and Syria. Gezzar Pacha, whose chjtal was to attain the supreme authority in I..7 ! vpt, was succeeded by Ismail Pacha, who acknovi icaixed the supremacy of the Porte, but at the same time en deavoured to estah'iNh himself independent. Tne particulars which hart transpir:•‘l, relative to Ciezrar Pacha, will throw sent! light upon the politics of the Porte and its agents. • The real charaaer of Gerzar Pacha, the late ty rant of St. John D'Acre, has never been well know-% After a life spent in the commission of the moq hot rid cruelties and enormities, for, the attainment of the supreme authority in the once famous country, this wretch closed his days, with the following merciful soliloquy, which he uttered a few moments previous to his decease: .4 I perceive," said he, that I have but a sliott time longer to live; what must I do with those en,e4, in my prisons ? S'nce I have stripped them of evers thing, whist wood will a do them to let them loose again na k e d into the world ? The greatest part of them were govern ors, and men of consequence in the country, who, if they return to their posts, will be forced to ruin a great many poor people, in order to replace the sums I have taken from them; so it is best for their own sakes, and for that of others, that I should dis patch them. They will then soon be in a place where proper care will be taken of them ; a very good place, where they will neither be permitted to molest any one, nor be themselves exposed to mo lestation. Yes—yes —that's best—dispatch them." In consequence of the above order, twenty-three viaims, who had formerly enjoyed the highest sta tions in Turkey and Egypt, were charitably thrown en worse into the sea, as the most expeditious mode of execution—many others were destroyed by the bowstring. The objet of Omar was to obtain the whole government of Syria and Egypt. At t h e t i me o f his death, he had united in his own person the Pa chalick of Serda, Damascus, and Tripoli, and the no•::inal Viceroyship of Egypt. The Pachalick of Aleppo alone remained for the completion of his desires. - Ir7rw 4 Ismail Pacha, his successor, accompanied th.: grind army to E :ypt, in the year 1800, and being patronised by the Nati( Pacha, obt a in e d th e di gn i t y of Bashaw of Three '1 ails; after this he was put into possession of the government of Marash, but d not long hold it, owing to his great extortions wh surpassed every thing formerly praflised by Turk li t oppression. He was ordered to suffer capital pu nishment: to erred which, the Grand Vizier ap pointed him to the Government of Suwas, whilst a pan was concerted to way-lay him on his road thither, and bring him in chains to the Turkis% camp ; the rencontre, however, between the assassins and Ismail, served only to establish his reputation for extraordinary Courage and fortitude; for he di,- played such gallantry and vigour on their attack, that they were obliged to fly. He then flew for pro trillion to Gezzar, and was kindly received by that Chieftain, en his complaining that he suffered from the Grand Vizier persecution : he followed the for tunes of Gezzar till within a year and half prior to the latter's decease, when Ismail lost his favour, and was consequently committed to prison in Acre, wh .re he remained till the day of Gezzar's decease. Gezzar, having no children, considered Ismail as a man fit to inherit his wealth and power, as he hail been bred up in a rancorous hatred to the Grand Vizier, and in independence of the Porte. As Gezzar lay on his death bed, he sent for Is mail Pacha from his confinement, who had so little expettation of the change of fortune that awaited him, that he requested to be allowed a few mo meats to prepare himself for death. ()it his being brought into Gezzar's presence, he would have begged for mercy, but Gezzar said, 1‘ There, I leave you plenty of troops, plenty of money to pay them, and good fortifications to fight in. If you are a wen, you will keep them, and my enemies shall have no reason to exult in my death." Immediately on the death of Gezzar, Ismail seized the reigns of government, and the most per- I:a obedience ensued in the neighbouring provinces. He, however, declared, that he held the govern ment only until the will of the Porte should be known, and, in consequence, affixed the public seal to the immense magazine of treasures, left by the deceased. When the last accounss left Constantinople, the Captain Bashavt had taken the city of St. Jean D'Acre out of the hands of Ismail Pacha t the lat ter, however, was expelled shortly to be reinstated in his authority. An Officer and six men, belonging to the C, ,s armed schooner, of 14 guns, which vessel has been watching the motions of the enemy in Brest harbour, in the night of the 6th lust. landed at the entrance of Brest, mounted a hill, and surprised the guard, stationed at the signal post, took away and brought of all the signal flags, and reached their vessel - in safety with them.
