I' I [Fresh Owe " Glasgow Courier."l TRI4L FUR HIGH TREASON. "OLD BAILEY. TunDAY, APRIL le►. THIRD DAY. The trial of Thisilespoed was restlipea this twini ng at the Old Bailey. At nine o'clock the Court was but thinly attended. The Judges took their seats on the Bench at II quarter past nine o'clock, and the eleven prisoners were at that time put to the Bair. They wen dressed in the same manner as yesterday, acid teemed equally collected. Thistle wood was in Trout s he bowed to the Court on en tering, and requested the Court would indulge him with a chair. Others of the prisoners made a simi lar application. Chief Justice Abbott Ordered that two or three chairs should he placed in the dock, where prisoners might avail themselves of them us occasion required. Thistleworad thanked the Court, and took his seat on the first chair which *as brought into the deck. The first witness called was r.leaunr Walker, who resides at No. 4, Fox-court, Gray's-Inn-lane. Thomas Hideo% a milkman, was the next witness. The Earl of Harrowby's examination Tullowed. As his Lordship's evidence was merely a repetition of facts already before the public we trust we may venture. wit hoot any infringement of the prohibitory order of the Court, to state that his Lordship merely said he held a high official situation among his Majesty's Ministers, that he was also a member of the Cabinet, and had issued cards for a cabinet Auer.. at his house in Grosvenor-square, on the evening of Wednesday the Oil February. lie expected the presence of the Lord Chancellor, the Doke of Wellington, the Earls of Liverpool and Mulgrave; Earl Bathurst, Lords Sidmeuth, Cab. tlereagli, and Melville; the Chancellor of the F.xcliequer. Mr. Cronin, Mr. Bragge . Bathurst. Mr. IVellesley Pole, and Mr. Itobineon. His Lord ship also mentioned the manner in which a man who was in Court, stopped him in Hyde I'ark on the preceding day (Tuesday, the 24d February), and informed him of a particular occurrence that was in tended to take place in his house after the Cabinet thinner. This information was communicated to the Cabinet, and prevented the Members from making arrangements to dine with the Earl of I larrowby on the Wednesday, though all the preparations for the dinner were nevertheless carried on as usual in Grosvenor-square, and not countermanded until %%*esinesday evening about eight o'clock. The other *names were his Lordship's butler, John Baker, and John Monument, the accomplice. The latter was brought into Court in the custody of two of the %Verde's of the Tower. His examination last ed nearly two hours. He detailed, at great length. the occureetices on the loft of Cato-street on the evening of the 2.3 d February, up to the period of t!:e entrance of the police and military into the room, when lie was amongst others taken luta custody. Thomas Monument was the next witness. Dayer, another approver. was called. Ilia evi. deuce closed at half-past two o'clock. The Bow street ottcers were neat examined as to what took place in Cato-street. Captain FrracLantsice was the only military person called to speak as to the transactions at atu-street. _ . The case for the prosecution closed at half-past faor o'clock. Mr. Cuawoou rose and addressed the Jury in a ve,y impressive manner for the defence. Ilia ',Jere!' closed at five o'clock. The witnesses for It:e defence were then called. Their examination Issted till a quarter past six o'clock. Mr. ADOLPHUS then, in terms peculiarly respect ful. called the consideration of the Court to the short tinse-which the Counsel for the defence had been allowed to prepare to meet so multifarious a charge. 1-1 r begged their Lordships therefore to adjourn the Court, and allow him to commence his address on the following (this) morning. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court must always feel anxious to give every consistent degree of lati tude to those engaged in defending persons situated like the prisoner at the bar. Ile wished to know if it would suit the convenience of the Jury to ad journ the Court for that purpose ? The Foreman of the Jury said, that his fellow jurors were of opinion, that their convenience ought nut to be consulted in such a ease. The CHIC! JUSTICE said, the answer was such as he should have expected hum men of such cha rovier and respectability. One of the Jury wished to know if they were bound to observe the evidence of one of the wit nesses, whom they rather distrusted ? The CHIEF JUSTICE mildly observed, that was not the proper time for considering such a question. The Court adjourned at a quarter after six o'clock. A large body of constables were in attendance, and the utmost order was observed both witlint and without the walls of the Court. We have made the most ample arrangements for giving a full Re port of these interesting Trials as soon as the tort duct of the Court shall be taken olf. DISCONTENT IN SCOTLAND. GREENOCK. APRIL 14. Wednesday Sir Thomas Bradford. Commander of the Forces . in Scotland, Sir %Vslliam Rae, the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Dope, Advorate Depute, aimed here ; likewise Lord Blain) re, Lord Lieu i-nant of the County. T he Lord Advocate, we ornierstand, examined the progress of the precogni tion, with the conducting of which he expressed his saiisraction, and took a view of the ground where the affairs of Saturday occurred. IVe learn, also, that he ordered the examination of evidence to be cl.,sed, bot directed that individuals might give in to the proper authorities written statements, with their sigirturvis, during the remainder of the week, after which the whole should be transmitted to him.— During the stay of these distinguished officers, we believe they bad ample opportunity of satisfying themselves trgarding the retreats' quiet of the town, mud rap:eased thendoelses accordingly. One re markable occurrence, whiclespeaks more to this im portant fact than volumes of assertion, we'rather think fell under their immediate observation, as we observed them walking along Cathcart-street but u few minutes before it happened. Between 4 and 3 o'clock . • (the (linnet hour of the Working classes here) the bodies of Adam Clephaire and Juru 111'Whinnie. two of those killed on the Sth inst. at a short interval from each other, both teopectalily a t. tendril, were borne to " the house appointed for all liVing." It pas just it the lime when It might have been expected tout the populace would he thronging the streets. On the contrary, however, we observed fewer than under ordinary circumst.nees t buts far more respectful tribute was paid to the unfortunate titan that which the insatiable spirit of curi osity. amongst other motives, usually calls kith. Those who were aware stopped, and beast on the mourners and the receptacles of the mourned, that sympathy of look which tells of the tacit commu nion which exists in society between the most ex alted 'slid the lowest ranks, through all the inter mediate stages. No crowd followed, Koenig as they we're 66 for want of thought ;" • look was given, and no more; then pursuing his way, each proba bly pondered on the fatal effects arising from the idle curiosity and the irrepressible spirit of mobs, and apparently aware that the peace of the town was somewhat connected with this hue of arc-mous con disci. It is possible that, iii the unkindlissess of their q)ititr, some, at a aistatsre, may imagine. from what has so recently happened. ihst our society must be strangely demoralized. The above is a fact nevertheless, and the more worthy of theit at tention, us " facts are stubborn things." On inquiry, this morning, we learn that Archi bald Nl'Kinuciti, one of the patients in the lotir mary, the only one, in our statement of Tuesday, d-clared doubtful, is doing well. The same may be said of the other four patients in the hospital. Several persons have been incarcerated, on suspi cion of having been concerned iu the breaking of the gaol on Saturday night. GLASOOW, APRIL 15. On Thursday nugl►t, about eleven o'clock, a I►arty of hussars, Lord Elcho's Edinburgh troop), and twenty of the Glasgow troop, with twenty riflemen, in spring-waggons, and a piece of flying artillery, left this city for Ayrshire. At Kilmarn►ck, Gals ton, and Newmills, 16 Radicals were ap►prehe►►ded and sent off prisoners to Ayr, under the escort of the Edinburgh troop. The inhabitants of the dif ferent towns 'hewed no inclination to resist the milita►y. Could we give a view of the actual situa tion of the country, fur many miles round this city, such as it is, it would scarcely be credited. We shall mention one filet regarding Galant), which thews the audacity of the Radicals in a striking point of view. A respectable gentleman, last week, on his way to this city, in psssu►g through that vil !age, saw, in broad day-light, several individuals sitting at their doors, deliberately sharpening their pikes; and such he learned was the power of the Radicals there, that not au individual durst open his mouth who was of a different way of thinking from themselves ; and he further learned, that this principle was predominant in all the surrounding villages. The hussars, the Glasgow troop, and the riflemen with the piece of flying artillery, re turned here yesterday about two o'clock in the afternoon. _ Nesurely a day has passed during this week but numbers of the Radical Leaders have been appre hended in this district, and committed to !prison. The person who stuck up the treasonable placard of April Ist, ut Balfron, we understand, has been apprehended. Ills Majesty's ship Verogeur sailed on Monday from Leith Roads for Greenock, all which port, it is understood, she is to lie as a prison-ship. It is tomoured that a Special Commission will be initnediately issued for the trial of those accused of treasonable conspiracies iu Scotland. [From " The Edinburgh Courant .1 EDINBURGH. ♦rRll. 15. Early yesterday morning the privoners taktree at Bouisyntuir were removed from the goal to the Castle. They are confined in separate apartments and strictly guarded. Thursday afternoon the grenadier company of the 80t6 regiment, under Captain %Vslsh, with the colours and baud, marched into the Castle from Aberdeen. The piquet of the Royal Mid-Lothian yeomanry (which war stationed at NI ussrlbutgli) cootie in here on Thursday, and parade every morning at the Riding School. We hear that Captain L'Amy's rifle company, 120 strong. made a tender last week to march to Glasgow. to assist in putting down the insurree tan there, or to any other part of the kingdom where their services might be required. On IVechiesday last Mr. Murdoch, with a party of eight men, left Airdrie •to escort a quantity of atumunitinti for the Airdrie volunteers. On their return they were attacked and abused by a crowd assembled at the barrack-gate, • who followed them along the road, hissing, hooting, crying " Seize the powder 1 ." and assailing them with a shower oh: stones. Two men were placed in front as a guard, and the rest closed behind. There might then be about 700 or sou men, and their insolence incleasing, they were charged by the party. They were instantly rejoined by the crowd, who conti • nued to pelt them with stone.. When they came to Westinuir and Shettleston, the mob became quite infuriated, crying " Kill Murdoch." In this manner they were handled till past Ilsillieston toll, when the appearance of a party of volunteers, sent to meet the escort, completely turned the pursuit. The party. were all injured by stones, sad some of the horses cute Only one shot was fired. and that over the heed of the mob ; but some of them will doubtless feel bruises given them with the broad side of the word, On Monday morning seven Radicals were seized at Ilalfron by a party of the Stirlingehire yeomanry, and lodged in the Castle. Early on Wednesday morning a party of the ♦eomanry cavalry surrounded the town of Mauch. True, when a strict •h was made for arms and papers. About 30 Radicals were taken up, mid are now under examination. Sheriff Bell and a party of the veteran battalio►r left Ayr next morning for that place. Soule pikes were found on Thers day morning concealed iu a field near Ayr. On Monday se'noright, these was a general strike of work in several of the manulectusing villages throughout this county. and crowds of idle people collected on the streets 111 the most threatening attitudes, and apparently anziomily looking for iu• telligenct of some general rising of their brother TH E i; II I'i'LSH PRESS. LON DON. iVEDMSDAY. APRIL 19. 184.. nisi/mood's trial was resumed yesterday noth ing at nine o'clock, when many witnesses wete examined on the part of the Crown, and the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. CUItWOOD ad dressed the Jury on the defence, and some evi dence was received. The further proceeding were adjourned to this morning. The strict injunction of the Court prevents us from publishing any fur ther account of the proceedings than a general description of the scene, the names of the witnesses, and the appearance and demeanour of the per sons concerned, which will be found in another part of our Paper. It happens, we think, rather unfortunately, that while the many perinea, who have been admitted as auditors during the trial at the Old Bailey are en• able(' to communicate through all parts of the town vague, mutilated, and contradictory narratives of the statements made by Counsel, and of the evi dence given by the several witnesses in the case now pending. the newspapers are prohibited from correcting this manifest evil, and from giving to the world clear, accurate, and impartial reports. The question does not rest between reports and no re ports, between communhzation upon the one hand and silence upon the other—but between correct re• pints and vague statements, between truth and falsehood, accuracy and confusion. Every man or woman who has succeeded in obtaining admission to the Old Bailey within the last two days conceives it necessary, either for the gratification of agility, or the curiosity of others, to give what the horn-boys call " a full, trete, mud particular account { ' or the proceedings in Court. and from the faithlessness of memory, the want of experience, or other causer,• these several accounts vary in general as much from the truth as they differ one from another. In one circle is to be found a young lady, for the edification of her female friends, laying down the law of treason with the precision of a HALE or a FosTER, and detailing. with happy volubility, the striking points of the direct testi mony, and the felicitous dexterity of the cross-ex amination. In another circle may be heard a young Gentleman rivalling the eloquence of the ATTOR. REY-GENERAI., while he undertakes to communi cate to • wondering crowd the facts contained in the Learned Gentleman's statement. Facts and law thus reported must not hope to acquire much correctness and accuracy as they proceed from one mouth to another, and should they its the course of their wanderings chance to visit the ears either of the counsel or witnesses with whom they were sup posed to have commenced, we can easily imagine their astonishment at the strange metamorphosis which their unhappy progeny had in so short • time undergone. We have had occasion to observe this consequence of the injunction, and cannot but think it more pregnant with evil than if the public were permitted to receive correct and authentic re ports through the newspapers of the proceedings as from day to day they occur in the Court. While the injunction remains in force, however, it is our part to obey it. Thistle's' ood's trial will probably close this evening. Paris Papers of Saturday last have arrived at our office. From the frequency with which the writers in the French Journals turn their attention to the affairs of Spain, it is easy to perceive the deep interest which the progress of the Spanish re volution inspires in the people of France. The Journal des Debars recites from the (Vidal Gazette of Berlin, • long historical statement respecting the establishment of the Cortes on the 24th of Sep tember, 1810, in the Isla de Leon, the object of which is to shew that this body was not elected by the nation at large, and consequently could not be entitled to alter the existing constitution of the monarchy, and also that the Cortes never enjoyed the confidence of the people. The members of the Cortes undoubtedly were not elected by the nation at large, because at the time of its esta blishment the far greater part of the Peninsula was in the power of the French army, but they were eonvened by the Supreme Junta, which dur ing the vacancy of the throne exercised sovereign authority in Spain, with the universal convent of all who were capable of expressing their opinions on the subject ; and when so convened, they were recognised as the legislative and supreme authority in Spain, not only by the Spaniards in general, but by. the Courts of England, Russia, the Bra zils, and Sicily. The British Ministry uniformly acted in conjunction with the Cortes, and from this body the Duke of I% . IILLINOTON, with the per mission of his own Court. received 'tile title of Captain General of the Spanish Forces—a title which, us the Journal des Debits remarks, disgust ed all the Spanish Officers, and especially Geiser.' BA LLASTIIMOII6 The Court of Russia concluded a Treaty with the Coon, dated the loth July, MI, the third article Of ill/ 111 a;• jesty the Emperor of Mimic reoognises as legiti mate the Assembly of the Cortes, General and Ex traordinary, now sittiog it Cadis ; as also the Cm._ Mission of the Spanish Alone/city, which this As sembly has decreed and promulgated." With the Costes the Courts of Brazils sod Sicily treated; but what objection can be urged to the legitimacy of the Assembly, since it has been solemnly re• togitised by OeßttniaNd himself, following, as he t nipholicelly declares, the full and express wish Dr leo people ? This latter titcumstance is in itself sufficient to put en end to all quibbling upon the right of the Cortes to frame a constitution, for it matters not by whom or by what power a frame bf government may have been devised or proposed, if it receive the general approbation of the people for whom it is intended. the despotic power of the Kings which existed in Spain since the days of the Emperor CHARLES V. we. a gross violation of the rights and privileges of a people once enjoying • higher de gree of political and civil liberty than ady other nation in Europe, and if • happy combination of circumstances enable a great, generous, and gallant people to fling off the servitude of ceistaries, shall a paltry pretence be drawn from sodte unavoidable irregularity in the process, to brand them with gross appellations, and reproach them with ordicipated crimes for which their past conduct offers no foun datiou? In pursuance of that feeling of candour which we hope has uniformly distinguished the tone of our political sentiments!, we inserted in yesterday's number a letter addressed to us, bearing the signa ture of " iimenes," upon the subject of the revolu tion in Spain, in which we were charged with eulo gising the Constitution of the Cortes. We appre ciate too highly the excellencies of our own Con stitution to eulogise a frame of government which differs from it so widely, and in fact so far have we been from extolling the Constitution of the Cortes as a happy of of political wisdom, that Tax BRITISH PRESS was the very first Paper in London which emedesneed that Constitution as being too democratical in its character, and as being on that account incapable of upholding itself in the event of political commotions. We indeed sincerely rejoiced in the revolution, because any change was preferable to the gloomy ferocity of the old despot ism, and the spirit of political inquiry being once suffered to expand its powers, the errors of the new Constitution could not fail of being quickly die. covered, and as certainly emended. The direct intelligence contained in the Paris Papers from Spain represents the country as perfectly tranquil. it is stated, that when the regiments flat perpetrated the massacres at Cadiz. on the Itlth of March, arrived at Puerto Santa Maria, the troop* who were there took up arms to receive them, and expressed much indignation at their conduct. The soldieis of these regiments were disarmed, and matched with naked feet to the little village of Chipons, where they were to wait for further orders. It is also said in the Madrid Gazelle, that the Constitutional Government does not renounce the hope of restoring the authority of Spain in the Trails- A thintic Province,. The French Five per Cents. are 74 f. Bank Stock. 1,470 r. Dutch Papers to the 15th instant have arrived. It is asserted, on the authority of • private let ter from Cadiz or the 41st, that the expedition to South America is altogether given up by the Spanish Government, and this assertion is confirmed by the further account, that all the stores and provisions which had been embarked in the transport vessels have been re-landed,and sold at a very low rate. iVe had previously learned throng!' the French Papers that all the transport vessels, except the English, were returned to their respective owners ; but that the English ships, being copper-bottomed, were not only retained, but ordered to prepare for sea.— If O'DourieL's narrative, which appeared in this Paper some days since, be true, it would seem that the Constitutionalists had worked upon the minds of the soldiery to join in demanding the restoration of the Cortes, by exciting an unwillingness on their parts to embark in the forlorn hope of the Ame rican contest, and we cannot well understand how the same individuals who have hitherto exclaimed against the cruelty and injustice of such ass ex can now require the troops to embark in it. Upon this point nothing certainly will he de termined until the affair has been laid before the Cortes. While complaints are made in the northern de partments of France that ►nme of the principal menufuctureni have heen obliged to .161:barge part of their workmen, it is stated that the menu_ factories in the southern provinces of the Nether lands been to experience a sensible improvement. Parliament will meet on Friday next, the ft ht instant. The Members will continue to he sworn in as they present themselves in the House of Commons until Thursday, when, we understand s the Session will he opened with a speech from the throne by his NIAJISTY in person. Every preparation is making in the department of the Master of the Horse for his MAJEhTY'S go. ing in state to open the new Parliament. In con. iteinence of the Court maiming, the state horses will not be decorated with ribbasids, as they gene• rally hale bees epos these eteesiobs.
