This was* I information against this and seven other Defendants, all of thetas newsmen, for publishing a number of Carlile's Ifepublicuss. pub lished by him oti the 30th of Augutt last, contain ing a seditious libel, entitled, " A letter to the Ptittee 11.0 , 4ent, on the thank% which have been given to the. Nla t ti.trri.l and Yeomanry A.s.issitis of Nlattelteuter, for the it:is-dere committed by them on the 16:h of A ugut.t " Nir. SHEPHERD opened the pleading• in all the tra.eit. . . The AreonNET.GE'r EttAt. rove, and addressed the Jury. Ile professed his respect and veneration for the liberties of the subject generally, and sinew; their. he was reedy to eckstowledge the great public importance of the liberty of the press. But while he wes a. :IOX:011P ?.:aal.V man to preserve that liberty, he elm the necessity, and he had no doubt but thet the Jury wool., see it also, of preventing that liberty from runiaing into excesses, and the still more °I loos siesegssity of punishiesg these ex. ceases when they took !dace. Such had become his pandit' duty in Cie present instance, which he thought he should best discharge by laying before then, with as little comment as possible, the libel of which lie had to complaie ; for such was the ohvions and wicked character of the publication befere Item, that he would only have to read it to them to couvisiee them how indisnensuble was its rennnient, all observation, would he metes. after Celt. Fle felt sure, after he should read to them a few extracts from the publication in question, that they would do nothing else than convict the Defendant, and that us a public officer, be (twist trot do otherwise than bring that Defen date le fore them, in order to that conviction. The nidober of the Mee/incurs starch he held in his I' Ind, p iiifelise.l to tre.it t.f certain melancholy c.sents which hall tr eispired a few days le lure the tintel.csition, at Nlench-ster, which had Sioce much vitiated the public mind throughout the country. —[The Learned Genitensee then proceeded to read A • iiiuii nt oral the publication. It was n tissue of inonatory pessegea, and the Prince Regent nes tie etch with very little ceremony throughout.] Was it t t be endured that such publlcatious should be dissetweated with U st i el:l4y stud without a strong tetemet, at any rate, to pre vein that dissemination ? Was it to he etidused that the person holding the s ;wistful of Monarch, for such wee the cowl:lion of 11..1 Pliece Reereet tut Cte etee of the publicatiou, slinithl he assailed in Celt m inner ? 11That verooteet could exist with such crimes ragieg in C:e satiety over which it had to watch ? If silty p-rsois a ere libelled in a winner so aggre vated, would lie not have 1.,s action its that Court fur offence t Then surely they were hound to f 'l4 I.:AIM! the SOVtre;gll of the country, abase iii.

The public:l6ml, as tee!: steeds] perceive, grew worse and worse until it perfectly manifested its object, which was to excite the pithoc mind to discontent, to Freed disel- I •entoi, and eticourage seditiou s instil the end which tens caleuleied upon in ti tett terms by th e writer sh o uld he fully realized. [The Learovil Gentleman read weather part of the Eitel, which elf-cued te consider tee dissolution of the esta!lltslimentas, awl the destruction of the ex isting orders of civil sus itty, as necessary, its order to etieble munkied to beton aL,!ala de novo.

No doubt, I:ewe-vet, would remain oil the ))))) ide of the Jury, when lie should have reed to them the passage with V hi• It he meant to close his quotations. [lleving teed some expressions rather snore violent tient the piece ding ones]— Wes lie not right in telling them that nu comment would be necessary for him after le,ving read those extracts ? The Defendant might deny his having written or originally published. jle wished that he knew who was the writer. The publication, however, must not be disseminated emote; the lower oreleis, and the interference of the laws became an imperative necessity. Such writere must be prevented from dile:rising the poison throligh the ennui ry, unit exciting the ignorant to look for that destruction ut the existing order of things which the author coistetnplated, but which, be trusted its God, wrestd never be brought about. Ile humbly expected from them (es lieu he *aid humbly, lie eNleCted from them a'Alt the greatest confi dence ) a verdict suitable to the enormity of the crime which he oboists! prove to their entire satisfac tion the Defendant lead committed. If the offence should be defended weli ever so much eloquence, end however much that eloquence might exceed his owe, (ee confessed he was tint eloquent), he wrs sure that they would detentiote according to the circum stances proved to them. and the effect of that proof Impost their minds. Ile felt confident of gaining the verdict, stud for that put pose he would call evi dence. oiemitt Morris srourn...-1 went to the shop of the le• fendasit iu December last ; be sells pam phlets ; 1 puichused this pamphlet from him ; 1 r.tre loin two-pence for it.—(ro a Juryman)—l know it to be the name I then purchased ; 1 was seat to purchase it, stud wrote my name ou it. The pamphlet was Jett in, mid the libellous inu tile, read. This was the ease for the prosecution. Mr. Wailing Mended himself. lie was a very poor matt will' a large family, and that was the reaaoir he could nut afford to employ Counsel. }U was P. , ! ignorant man, and if ally eepres. lams slinold drop from ham *bath might be dis pleasing to she gentlemen of the ,busy, he hoped they would acquit him of wrong them from in. cheat . ,as he never in his life had am in• tent to commit offence against God or man. He would first make a few observidinias no the striking of the Juries. He had attroded the Crown-office agreeable to notice, and a book was shewn hint in winch, es he was told, the tonnes of all the persona qualified to serve as special jurymen were entered. F ;; this book he was informed that forty-right WIMPS were to he selected, from which number the Jury was to he taken, by striking mit all but twelve. lie thought as fair at way as ally would be to Oiske the first forty-eight from the commence ment of any one of the pages. Ile was tubs this could not be allowed, and lie then proposed to take the flast from each page opened el until forty eight were taken out. This. was objected to also ; anal be then let them do as they chose, for hr felt 'Sure that. let the jury be selected how they suight, no twelve holiest iii en would find him guilty. The officers then turned over the leaves, Hod Indite a very cautious and irregular 'selection, sometimes taking a cluster of Haines from one page, Owes skipping over !q•Ver.ll (once us many as 16), or taking mie or two as they passed on. Still he felt no concern, as he depended upon has 'Doucette',; and though the Gentlemen whom he WAS addressing might here been selected, as had beets said, out of doors (how truly he could not say), on account of the opittioes they had about politics, he war not afraid to trust his case with any twelve respereable honest melt.— lie had heard indeed, but he did mint know how to believe it, that there were some Gentlemen, who contrived by their conduct as jurymen to please particular persons whose duty it was to select juries, and so to get frequently called to serve as special jurymen. Ile had heard that sonic special jury men earned from two to three !tumbril 110001.11 a year by serving en juries. He did not believe that his jury were of that character; but if they had been, he should not he afraid to trust his case even with such a jury. He was a poor mast, who used by supplying a news-walk ; he kept a little shop in the Strand, where lie sold newspapers and pamph lets. This was the way in which he provided for his wife and family. The malicious intent with which be was charged fur having sold this number of The Republican, he could easily disprove, be cause tie had published popery and til l "' on all sides of the iptestimi. 11. bad wild The White Dwarf, a publication which came out under the patronage of Load Sidmoutli; lie had also publish. eat The .Egis, a work plofesseally Mitsisterial ; after that lie had been applied to by one Wino, to pub lish The Green Mon, a work written very tnuch in favour of Government, because his shop was COO. spicitous, and *limited in a good part of the toast, said lie was on that aCeolsoll to have been the I.uh lisher. He wished the Jury jaunt to examine one number of The Green Man, to see what principles it was of. The Ctiter Jus•rtce could not allow this, as toe work was tiot in evidence befole the Court. He was surf• to interrupt a Deft inlaid. Mr. %Watling proceeded. lu reply to the obser vation of the Attoroey.(;enertil, that he wished he knew who wrote the libel in question, he (the De tendon') would answer, that Mr. Carlde's name was at the bottom of the letter. Cathie 11041 made no secret of it that. he *HY Cie writer and publisher. The wot k Inv! been going on fur six }ears. If lie had been a;•pled to during in.y part of this period to say who w.-re the writer snit printer of the work, he should have answeied, that Sheiwiu nit* the printer and Cathie the writer. The CtiiEl , JUSTICE B mid, that the Defendant was doing wiong to mention a person's 116111 C manlier likely to be injurious to hilt, who was nut then before the Court. 1111. IVailitig Paid, he was oily replying to the temark tif the Attorney-Gelieral. The ('utir • JUSTICE said, that he might have averred ►hat he knew the writer, without naming hint. Air. Wat:int; replied, that Si►erwiu's name was no secret. Ile kept one of the largest printing offices in town, mid he might have been found there at ally time if i Hairy had beet' made fur hint. it was very 11.1111 that although neither the printer nor the pu!aloilter had beet' prosecuted, that lie, oidy a poor 11rVi11111411, should be proceeded agatost. lie hail l en taken up for selling one her of The Rrpublican, and expected to take his trial for the offence at the (darter Sea. sinus. It was ver►• bard that his case should have been removed, with such , tin increase of clAculty end expense, to the Couit of King's Bench. He again denied any evii intention in selling the wink. Ile sold winks on all sides of the question; but lie never had sold any thing of which he had the least suspicion. He had never sold any of '1 he Age of Reams, or of The Deist, and lie never would. Ile knew not that there was any libel in the pamphlet in question. He was a very pour man, and hoped that they would feel for him. He could never be dangerous to the Government—he could not write libels—he could scarcely read, lie would call a witness or two to prove to them that he had no guilty inten tion in selling The Republican. The CHIEF JUSTICE wislit•il to know to what points he wished to call evidence beforehand. He allowed I however afterwards to take his own conise. Robert Wilson proved that the Defendant sold newspapers and pamphlets of all sorts; and further, that he bore the character of a plain, honest, and very industrious man. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that he would only make one or two observations in repo". The Defenehrit had riot ventured to drily the publics limp. or defend the libel. Ile had attacked, chiefly by insinuation, the manner of selecting the Juries. The Learned Gentleman these went low a defence of the wethod used ill that pro ceeding.—Tiie Defendant hail pleaded, that he sold publications of ail descriptions ; but this Mad nu IIIIIIV•Cf to the information. Was •a pub lisher to say to himself, because I sell loyal pamphlets sod reports of Bible Societies, I will keep this srditirous pillions also to glistify oilier cup. touters ?" It *As for selling this puison that he was brought up, and not for selling the good and use ful works in which he professed to deal. But if the Defendant had proved nothing for, he bad proved one thing against himself. Ile had shoals that his 'shop Was in a public itiLstation, *lsere the opportunities for rlis•eminating the libel were so much greater than usual: if the Defendant's plena of ignorance, and that he was only a vender, were admitted, every publisher in the country might do what he pleased on the commission of such crimes. As to his poverty, if that should screen him, lie feared that there would be no want of agents to disseminate the writings of such authors. Cathie had not been punished for the libel in question, because he was then suffering for other crimes, or he would have hero brought up for this. It was very easy to say that the writer should he punished, and that there w•o nn diffictilly in coming at him but it was a very diffictilt thing to prove the writing of • libel, and the remissness of the law officers in charg ing one Defendant was sin plea for ;mother. II is being a !war moan, and having a large family, might be • useful plea to him at another time, but ought tint to influence the verdict of guilty or not guilty. As a public officer, he could not let such publications go on without attempting to check them. As every thing done in that Court was related out of it, lie wished distinctly to drily having instituted criminal proceedur;• against the Defendaist iii 'mother Court. lie never had and• design of harassiug him with suits and expenses. The only gnestiona for the Jury were, " Is the publication a libel ?" If not, he would not be entitled to their verdict. Secondly, " Has the publication by the Defendant been proved ?" If it had, he must then be convicted. The CHIEF JUSTICE sum:ned up. The title of the publication maw have bees. proof enough to any man that it was a libel. It would be impos. Bible to prevent the diffusion of libels if the venders of them were not li.ihle to punishment. The Jury %rollout hesitation pronounced the Defendant—Guilty. Till KING V. HARRIS. This was the same information. Two clerks of the Treasury, and one belonging to the Bo.srd of %%To, kit, who had been summoned for the Jury, were allowed to absent themselves on account of the inconvenience it occasioned in their duties. VIP ATTORNEY.GEN rRAL very briefly Charged the Defendant, as all the Jurymen were in Court, and heard the first inform.sitosi tried. Proof was put in as before of the selling. or, as it was termed in the inforination, the publishing. And from the cross-examitiation it appeared, that the informer, Lewis Lewis, hail in the first instance caused the Defendant to be apprehended and taken to tiow-street. Being examined and bailed out, he had attended every day during the Sessions at Hall, lint there was no bill found. He then read it written defence, denying any ma licious, seditious, or wicked intent, such es was charged to him in the information. He seldom knew the content. of the papers lie sold, lie could lint have time to examine them, as the customers were generally in witting for periodical publications, nod took them away as soon as they were brought ion his shop. it news-venders were to be made liable for every thing libellous contained in the Papers, why not coffee-house-keepers also, who, by keeping the Papers on their tables, helped to diffuse the reading of them ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied. The CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury, without hesitation, found the Defendant—Guilly. I t THE SA ME T. SHORTER. This was the same information as the last. The Defendant challenged one of the Jurymen, who had served on the last Jury. If lie was obliged to go to trial with a Jury. any of whom hail previ ously made up their mils& on the case, Isis trial would be a !kery. The Cni EF JUSTICE said that there was nothing to prevent x Special Juryman from serving ou two successive Juries. 'llse Juror was however put out. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated the case, end called evidence to prove the vending. The Defendant read a long written brief, which lie had prepared fur his defence. He proved also that lie had been taken by a warrant, and was to have taken his trial at the Quarter Sessions, but there was no bill fmnil. He called evidence also to prove that he had been ruined by having four informations filed against him, and hail given up the shops where he sold paper. and pamphlets in conse quence. Ile said the present plan of proceeding was like that of the punishment of forged notes, where the utterers were visited, and the makers were suffered to go free. Ile quoted the authority of Lord C yns to prove that a person charged with libel should be proved to have construed or caused it to have beets construed and written. This was impossible in the case before the Cour'. He quoted the case of Mr. Hobhouse's pamphlet. The House of Commons instantly relieved Stotler', the publisher, when the author was given up. — This was a special precedent created by the makers of laws, and ought to be observed in Cour.s of Law. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied. The JUDGE summed Ust, and the Jury instantly found the Defendant Gaihy. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved for the com mitment of the two last Defendants. TILE SAME V. WHITEIIOIII4I. THE SAME p. SAINSBURY, JUN. These two Defendants did litt,e more than mere. ly appeal to the u►ercy ref the Jury, and declare their innocence of any malicious intention in selling the pamphlet. Whileharies appearance was dis tressing, and his speech uncouth and rueful. A Juryman asked him if lie could read, to which he replied, '• Yes." Sainsbury said, that he bad been obliged to take to selling pamphlet* and news from an accident which hail deprived him of any vigorous exercise of his right arm and leg. • The Jury found them both Guilty, but recom. mended Niihittlitorii to mercy.

A division of the insurgents, '2,000 men strong, commanded by Mews, issued from St. Ferdinand to proceed towards Tarifa, and General O'Don nel is in pursuit of them. The fort of Tarifa was very strong before the last war; but there is no longer any trace of fortifications.
