The open ing of the first issue had been treated as a pretended sloe; bet it was furgotten that scientific men were at that time engaged in the attempt to invent an inimiinhle bask roue. The result of tree attempt had been communicated to the Neeeon by Sir George Madman, and an coked from his opinions on the means of p ling forgery had been in meted in that print. The opinions of Sir 'Gnaw wete is pelsed by samba, eereespondeet, sod this gave rise to Ilse diactissioo. It was asserted in one of these letters, that If the Bank of Scotland could &stover such a note, the com pany would be entitled to sa Act of Parliament, conferring es theta the exclusive me of it, whieb would protect 'him from forgeries, and the expense Incurred is the pruareutior of forgers. This led to ao 11611WR from another correspon lbhit, who plenary proved that much rammer was needlessly impaired in the prosecution of forgeries, through out leaving !Item matters to be conducted in the ordinary way. The observatiors, "from too keen an attention to their own inte. rums"' referred to basks asdaot to agents, therefore it timid not be applied to Mr. Gibson. It tekrred to the banks who employed the " Agent of Whiggista % and Whig Conn. eel, in preference to 'Worries the law to take its or. disary course. There was no Miceli°, on the charges of Mr. Gamma; guile the ; the more moderate they were, lbe better it was for his argument, as it skewed that, rivets with Mr. Ciboria's economy, the ex. pease was still enormous, when compared with the ex. pease' of a public prosecution. He contended that the cane of Frances Mackay related to the general diecoisiuo that vital beruee. If there was any thing in that premise c ise which the Penner considered tojorimis to him, he appealed so the Jnry whether such a slat , meet haviug bees made, oil respeetable authority, to the proprietor of • public joirrual, it could - he considered a malicious and wilful *tette/emit ow btu port ?

He teen read certain parts of the correspondence, from which 1.-. inferred that Mr. Gloms bad mooned the lord Advocate that no promise was made to Mackay, while the Sheriff(Sir Willis.

It cemented of the statement by a private frond of a eon. coeverasCon. It was, however, a jest Main the ee Minn of damages.

However much Counsel at the bar may reline on legal distinction., and eramenatiest disquisi tions, the present was a iinissi ion which most go home to the bosoms and the families of all upright wed conscientious men. In explanation of vow ',markt *hick bed been made on the 'epitome of B•nk maiden) suits, he might state that these prosecutions had always, be point of fact, been now domed et the expense of Om Hanks, until the present Lord Advocate had the merit of introducing a system, much more reusionilent for the Hanka. though infinitely more wasteful for the public. By a refiretwe to the find issue, it word le seen, theist was the Rank age " legal advisers"' of the Illinska, who were err used of dishonestt eiscieet in attend ing to Meir own intelk.t, at the rum of theleemployero; eispi that the Penner, came de.cribed as the " if Witiegiam," and mice as Mr. Jame Gib.on, W. $ i. d as an . ample. He was also nere.ed of the hameoes of serving his political Meade, the " Whig Counsel," al well as bianoolf, at the expense of his employers. The Defender's .`jest was plainly evinced by hi. hankering after accusatimeht the speech of hie Counsel—nil Important passage of whirl. he would take the liberty of set-Ohne to mind. [Ur. Ali Niel had dropped some (imly:llion about "some people. eyes timid ores r he opened to the detriment which a blind rostfidence hail freely exposed them to."I The Defender wee galled 111.1 his shaft had nut taken effect, and that it had not deprived the Pumice of the confidence of a respectable rot poation. Nu other motive meld have prompted him to make the last essay open the character of the Pumice with whirl' they had jest bees favionelf. But Mr. Gibson inight well remise the malignity ef file attempt, since its impotence hail twee so signally conapiemom. He enticed the expense of bringing Sown mime?" witnesses from London, to prom the forgery, in eases to pioserotioe for that offence. This was an Hein which had a considerable effect on an agent's' still, and rendered it unit to be com pared with the expenses of other proseentions. He also rifeered to the evidence which had bees led respecting the reasonebletiess of Mr. Gibson'. accounts with the Bask, which completely disproved the allegation of their be. leg exorbitant. With them remark., he should take hie leave of an utterly and gmtoilets imputatimi. On the other part of the ease he hardly thought We should be justified in tbleinine them so lung, as too the comparatively minor aceuettion. It was an omits A meet, that the Pursuer had iedspeed the wont** Mackay a promise that she should out he brought to trial, ha a confession of her guile, which o.lll(ePhiOU ass afterwerdel employed to obtain her conviction. The promise, it wee admitted, wee only implied; and at length it hod Wei proved that it Wile no promise at all to Merkel, dap eddy party whom it was likely to tact ; but that it weiehemo. thing which some third parties describe as an impreadem their minds, that the Panel was toot to he brought to Irbil.. butt wheel, rested at last with the peewits by whom it was first expressed. The poor woman herself, if she did ail look upon the Pursuer as her benefactor rather than bar enemy—would she have this tity so distinctly testified his hutment. et this atrocious accusation? The Lord Ads.. este (the late Sheriff) only objected to the declarations, es amount of their nomlwr, and because some part of them had been takes, ea lie canceived, for the purpose of coafirm. mg the teatimes, of ether witnesses; but be acknowledged that wharhul bees examined in the regelm messes, and .alb the smell precautions. Therefore they had she moat maw plete demolitioa of tbe whole justification set •p by the De fender. The whole of the evidence, not one part of which he visited to 'ovum., did not interfere in any one paid or contingent angle with the case brought into Court ty the Pursuer. The libel might be cousidered an attempt to impose on the public, fur the purpose of ruining the Pursuer.— Bet in whatever light it might be viewed—whether as sari gloating in malice, in carelessness, in rashness, or in fully, and however early it may be repeated of, he was fully matt. sled to adequate damages. There was not a line that war not teeming with the must deliberate (also hood. There was an allegation that the Pursuer had been reprimanded in Court, wke• there was not one particle of celibate that Mr. &basun bad incurred any censure from either Judge, Jury, er Lord Advocate. They were bound to believe that no tune Judge, either in robitigoooto, public court, or street, ever uttered 'syllable of censure against Mr. Gibson. The whole of the case was fa:se. The root was corrupt; the stem was decayed; the breeches were withered; and the fruit was rotten. It was rooted in malice, generated I. uneharitebleneas, and it had been destroyed by its own cos reptitio. What was the satisfaction which bad been offered to the Portiere? Permission in answer Mr. Hinshaw, and to contribute an article to his newspaper !

In flue, be asked for damages. The Defender could only be injured by the damages being too light, which would lead him to misconstrue the lesson which It was the duty of the Jury to read ham. They should recollect that he was sufficiently solvent fur any claim that might be made spoil him in name of damages. Above all be called upon the Jury to restore that worthy, hut much injured indivi dual, iss whose behalf be appeared, to that rank which he before held, and which every thing that bad this day trans. plied, proved him to be more and more worthy to bold, in the honourable ()pinion of his friends and of his country. [A burst of applause wasevokeal by the close of this speech, bit it may immediately sestraieed by the officers of Court.)

THE BRITI S H PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, Dacsmsza 14, me. The French Papers of Wednesday are uncom monly destitute of news. The all-agitating ques tiou of war has subsided into petty altercations among the Journalists. The Ministerial Papers ore extremely fertile of misrepresentations and fictions from Spain. The answer to them is, that the Cortes are acting with equal vigour and mode. ration, and that General Mitt♦ has driven all the fugitives of the Faith into France. except the few who have shut themselves up in the fort of Urge!. It really is not worth while to notice or to refute the falsehoods of the Qmolidienne respecting the Spa niards, or of the Asatrion Observer respecting the Greeks. We are told that the Ministers are to 'ewe w the deliberations of Verona at Paris, and the Eui perms at Vienna. We rejoice that the Congress of St. Stephens will assemble seen; and will not, with shut doors, and under the anxious protectil of po lice officers and spies, but in the face of the people, and with the knowledge of all Eu►ope, discuss the momentous questions which involve the peace and liberty of the present age, and the happiness of suc ceeding generations. When the light of day breaks forth, the ill-omened birds of darkness slink silently into the shade. The following are extracts from the French Papers of Wednesday PAID, DECEMBEL 11. Yesterday the King transacted business with the Miuister of the Minnie. The Etoik, which hitherto has been at war only with the Journal des Debars, has commenced hos tilities with the Quotidienne. The latter wishes for the establishment of absolute power in Spain, and the Eloile says, that those who impute such an in tention to the French Government are persons of a (nifty and treacherous disposition. All the Minis terial Journals are really fighting the campaign.— (Constitetionnel., IA M. Guise, Legracieux, and Cassano, responsible editors of the Constitutionnel, the Courier Francais, and the Pilate. who had surrendered themselves as prisoners, before the Connor Cessation pronounced judgment upon their appeal, have been set at liberty. Arrangements are being made at Angouleme for the establishment of a telegraph upon the most elevated tower of the castle of that city. The Journal du Nord, of the Bth instant, an nounces the arrival of M. de Marchaugy at Lille in the following terms M. de Marchungy, Advo cate-General of the Court of Cessation, and De puty of the department du Nord, is arrived in this city. We have ascertained that lie will, this day, visit the theatre, where true Royaliats will not fail to assemble to do homage to one of the most zea lous defenders of monarchy; to this magistrate. who has so justly obtained the title of the terror of Carbonurisse." A letter from the frontieri of Spain, dated De cember 2, says—" The defenders of the Faith have nut lost hope. The torch of royalism is not ex tinguished. We have gained some partial advan tage... The Convention exclaimed that La Vendee was destroyed, and La Vendee appeared with re !newed brillisecy. Never despair of the Spanish Royalists !"—Ntiotadienne.) It is calculated that the number of young sol dirt.. who remained disposable out of the class of Nil, and who are called auto service, is from 4.2,000 to 23,000 men. The Quotidierine concludes a vehement decla mation *pivot 'evolutions in these terms ",re we sure that a new revolution would al ways he favourable to us, and thst, amidst the slio( ks to which thobe changes would give rise, one might not happen which would shake mo noreliy for ever ? Let us take care of that ; the stronger revolution may he abroad, the more united should we be in order to combat it internally. Let us close our rooks more firmly than ever. and if. which Coal forbid ! we should not be able to save Europe. let us ut least save Frauce, and let her be like an impregnable citadel, whose defenders, bound by the same interests, by the same oath, by the same coverage, have sworn to die rather than err reuder to the enemy." MADRID, DF.CII,III2R 2. All the Journals of the capital this day publish the ►ollnwing letter Iron M. Martinez de Is Rosa : " I have just read, with astonishment, in the Unfainiso4 an a►::cle translated from the Journal Iles Debate of No- vember 13, in which it is supposed that the Codes are divided into three parties—that of the present Admini stration, ur the Frallador of the 7tb July; that of Ar. goalks, and other members of the Curies of Cadia; and lastly, of those persons who agree with MOrillo and Mar tine: de la Rues, is thinking some modificatious of the Cue. *Wittiest possible at souther time, when they would not sp. peat to be occasioned by foreign menacer. "The statement of the Journal isms absurd Is eV its parts, that I at first resolved to moister, the most profound silence as to what related to me, personally, notwithstanding every calumaiuss imputation. Bet particularly observing that the Freach Misistorial Journals accuse in like manner as Spanish Journal has done, in contempt of law and ssondity, and apprehensive that some malevolent persons might consider my silence as a proof of guilt, I feel it necessary to con tradict, is the most tot Dial manner, in the face of-the sodium and of all Europe, that part of the article which concerns me personally. Ido nut belong to any party, and have not stirred up any upinioas contrary to she fundamental law by which we are governed. My principles are as well known as the candid and steady member is which t have supported them upon all occasions; no person hay ever had the audacity to propose to me that I should fail in the slighted degree, in the folfilment of my word and my oath. I consider it a misfortune to weary the attention of the public by this de studio° ; but it is not my fault, if, hariag fallen back into the class of private citizens, I am still exposed to malice sod persecution. " MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA." Madrid continues very tranquil. Ministers hold the reins of Government with so firm a hand, that it is almost impossible for the machinations of the ultra party to impede the progressiie march of the system. We ore most positively assured that Go vernment have adopted serious determinations, and that •gents are about to take their departure to make purchases in Belgium and in England. Tile Landaba r lan Society continues its interesting sittings. Young men of very good families con trod for the honour of speaking there. A part of the national horse guard of Madrid have returned from the expedition to Foncaral. A vessel arrived from Rio Janeiro (the Phenix) brings news that the Prince Royal has mucked at the head of some troops to subdue the province of St. Paul, which refuses to recognize the Brazilian Cortes. The capital is in the greatest disorder, notwithstanding the presence of the Princess Royal, who has been appointed Regent daring the absence of the Prince. CORTES. SITTING OF TS'S 4StH NOVEDISSII. M. Nicolas de St. Rewind complained of the difficulties attached by the Court of Rome to mar riage dispensations, and requested the Cones to apply a remedy. The united Ecclesiastical and Political Com mittees, in pursuance of the application of MM. Canga, Moreno, and miter members, who complained to the Cortes of the conduct of the Court of Rome, which takes alma itself the pro hibition, and placing the index of several Spanish works, desired that the Cortes decree that • foreign Court, no matter what, cannot have the power of interfering iu the internal affairs of the Spanish nation, which ought no longer to endure or tolerate what it did tolerate to the absolute authority of its K togs. M. Falco said the Report of the Committee niiglit be reduced to a very brief matter, since, ac cording to Article 170 of the Constitution, to remedy all inconveniences, it will suffice for the Government to oppose the circulation of the Papal • Bulls which should be at variance with our present political situation. M. \relate° said, that although mach attached to his religion, he could not with iudiffeeence see the Pope • pproveof a decree in which all the most sacred principlesof the Gospel are forgotten, and the object of which is no other than to prevent the circulation of valuable works, in which their authors have de veloped just and sound ideas, which clearly demon strate the rights and duties of men. if this letter of the Pope continued to circulate freely, it would serve only to carry discord and division into families, who would not be occupied with discussing whether it were a letter or a mere local edict, but who would consider it solely at a Bull from Rome, prohildaimg sun h or such works, I vote then for the Report of the Committee, and I regard it as an object of the highest importance, that the Court of Rome should know that the Spaaisb nation will always respect the successor of St. Peter as head of the church, hut that it will resist with vigour all those of his suc cessors who forget the sacred character of their ministry of peace, end throw aside the pastoral staff in order to gird on the sword. M. Cangu, in • very long speech, defined his proposition, whose object was, he said, to avoid the scandal and wrong which this edict might cause, which makes a violent attack uptin the inviolability of Deputies, the national movereipty, and even the royal authority. This Bull was treated as a loc h . edict, though it is addressed to all the Bishops ur Christendom, of whom the Court of I{ome wishes to avail itself as its devoted agents for attaining ti e end it has in view. to fact, the oath of obedietr..e of the Bishops anger unlimited with respect to the devotion they owe bs their spiritual head, t h at it we., not surprising the latter should think he had right to require every thing front thee, eartieulatly in so religious a country as Spent. The discussion was still continued,, when M . Tutus said the Cortes ought not to bestow so rends time ou such matters, which were rather point' of theology thou of polities, wad st west 1,04 of ii - terest to the eighth century. He was of opinion had been demonstrated that the measure* proposed by the Committee were necessary for the Consolida tion of public liberty. He concluded with Awe. Mg, that the Court of Rome having recognised the Constitutional Government of Spain, it had broke:: its sworn faith, with the view of fomenting* civil wart and partieularly by asserting the non.inviolability of Deputies, when the Constitution had declared the contrary. The Report of the Committee way approved of. The Portuguese Charge d'Affaires was present at the ritting. At the moment he entered a Deputy was making a comparison between the King of Portugal and the King of Naples. RAUSANNR, NOVIIMISItIt 30. The Grisoo Deputies, MM.

Esq. of Ingliaton, we have given so fully, that we have left little room for re mark, and indeed remark is rendered superfluous, by the ample disclosure of the facts and circum stances of the ease in the evideuee. Mr. Giasoi, one of the used honourable and indepeudent men in Edinburgh, was almost always attarkettl in the atrocious libels upon Mr. STUART, which led to the erath, by duel, of Sir ALEXANDER Boswett. The !Axel in the present instance was preyed to be wholly false, yet it amouuted to nothing lee* than a charge of the foulest murder by the basest meAtui. This false and fool libel was, beyond all question-, written by some Tory who now associates with the highest Tory Society iu Edinburgh. To the ttir ;mode of writing such a libel he has added the iii.. comparable cowardice of reinitiating unknown. We would not have a friend of ours uoiociiite with the tainted society who shelter such an unparallered assassin.
