In answer to the Chairman, he stated himself to be a silk manufac turer, and citizen of Du blin. Examined by Mr. WILLIAM S—Were y ou p resent at the Dublin Theatre on the occasion of 'the riot, and were you be fore the grand jury ?—A. I was ; I was before the grand jury 'in the inorning of the day bet Ore the bills were ignored. Q. Were you examined ?—A. I was. • Q. To what point did you give evidence P—A. Relative to a transaction which occurred in a tavern in Essex-street. Q. At what time did it. happen ?—A. On the night of the riot. Q.' Concerning what person P—A. A number that were in ., dieted. Q, What names ?—Mr. Forbes, Mr. Brownlow, Grisham, and Others. Q. Ilad.yett seen any of them at the tavern P—A. I did. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose to order. Ile under stood the inquiry was to be confined to the Sheriff, and unless they , were quest! o into a full inquiry of the conduct of the greed jury, the n that had lately been asked could not be pursued. • Col. BARRY had always foreseen that it would come to this. • —The whole question was its fact opened, and he did not see when it would end. Mr. WYNN considered that question, as to what happened - the night before the riot, could not come within the proper limits of the inquiry of the House into the conduct of the sheriff. BROUGHAM feared that the House must go into all -the • branches of inquiry connected with the main object. The -conduct of the (hand Jury, in the absence of positive evidence, would assist as matter of inference that could not in any other way be attained. Mr. M. A..TAYLOR understood that the question was, 'whether the Sherif had packed the jury or not. If so, the conduct of the Jury had a great deal to do with the examination. Mr. WILLIAM in continuation—Q. Did you .know the names of the persons you saw. at, the tavern when.you was before the Grand Jury P—A. 'I slid ; but not, when at the cavern. Q. How long were you undex examination ?-4. About a quarter of an hour. • Q. flow came you to quit the „rocini ?--A. I was told they were done with me. Q. Had you stated all you had to say P.—qt. Not all, I think. Q. - Why not ?—A. I stated as far as I could recollect at the time. &tore my answer was delivered I was interrupted by a fresh interrogation. Q. hid you name the persons in questiOn to the Grand Jury ? A. I' - was desired not to name any person whom I had heard say any thing on the night in question, whose .name I did nut know on that night. Q. By whom was -this order, given?—A. By two at least of the Jury. •Q. Did you-state to the Jury, that you had learned these names-P_A. I did. wasiold that it would not be evidence to state any thing of any one -whose name I did not know at the Tavern. • Q. How came you to know the names of the persons at the Them P—A. I did not know the names myself ; but.a gentle man, who was with me, told Me. sonic of them. Mr. PETER MOORE proposed to adjourn. -Mr. BROUGHAM said.; hie lion; Friend's time was the crowing of the cock, which had not arrived by one hour. The (!,ommittee expressed a disposition to go on. Colonel BARRY proposed to call a witness named Carpen ter, but gave up his motion to Mr. WILLIAMS,• who expressed a desire to calla Farley. George Fittley was then' called in.--The witness saidlie.was an attorney in Dublin. lie was examined before the grand jury on the subject of the riot at the theatre. He was examined - on the subject of a conversation which took place at a tavern on the evening of the day on which the riot took place. The conversation took-place at a tavern in Essex-street. The per sons present were,. aslifr, Iforbes. and a Mr. Graham. Many others were in the room. Mr. GOULBURN thought there was a deviation from the strict line of examination. • Instead of examining the witness as to &Wand was said in the tavern, the better course would be to inquire into the charge against the grand jury. Mr. WILLIAMS said, his object waeto save time. He then continued his examination.—Theewitness want before the grand jury. lie mentlimed the names of Bromley and Mack intosh, beiddei the nausea of Forbes before-mentioned. He was desidered not to speek of any person he did not know. He said he knew the person of one .

Examined by Colonel BALMY—Be said he was allowed to state every fact which related to the tavern, save and except the name of Forbes, which he only knew by hearsay. Examined by writ t: yr---1 - 1e heard the name of the per son was Forbes. The bill against him was ignored as he heard -; . Forbes was charged on hue evidence with a capital offence.; - the witness knew a man mimed Prokus; he conversed with him ; lie did not say to Prokue I ant surprised , you will run so high against the Attorney-General : he might have said so, but did not recollect it; he never said Prokus 1 have three guineas a day ; the -witness -was More at eese beibre the Petty than the Grand Jury : Prokus was a painter at Dublin; they met at the Dublin Library, and held a conversation. He heard Mr. Prokus say he would go forward and say the bottle was not thrown by the man who was charged with throwing it. Examined by illtS SCMILETT The witness was at the Thea. tre ; Mr. Prokutwas there; several said the bottle was thrown ; Mr. Prokus said it was not thrown. The witness thought he might be deceived; Mr. Prokus-said and unsaid things; ]Takao asserted a thing,• and denied what another -man said; Prokus said Handwich, who was accused of throwing the bottle, did not throw it.

" The advanced guard of General MoLrrott has advanced upon Fraga. The royalist garrison of Mequinenza has taken possession of the fort and town of Alcaniz. BALLArrEttos has retreated from Calatuyud upon Roca/ Several battalions of Royalists are organizing at Saragossa." PAWS, MAY 4.—The accounts from the frontiers of Cata lonia, given by the Journals of the South of France, say that Romagnosa entered Puyccrda on the 22d April, at the head of about UBO men, amidst general acclamations of " The King for ever !" " Death to the Constitution !" A traveller from the Seo d'Urgel affirms, that they are selling the corn and provisions in the ports. On the 19th Solsona was occupied by Missalles, who de manded a contribution to pay his troops. By order of Mina 300 troops of the line had quitted that town the day before, -to join him in the neighbourhood of Vich, where he was collecting his force, anti that on the following day 000 militia, who formed the rest of the garrison, were sent to Manresa and Cardona. ~Before they evacuated Solsona, the silver plate was removed from the Churches. That belonging to the Cathedral is said to weigh seven cwt. It was said that Berga and Rippoll had also been evacuated. jn this case General Milans could not main lain his position at Campredon. On the other hand, the Echo du Midi reports that Mina, leaving the Ter behind him, has formed his line of defence before Gerona, and thus he would in same measure have offered bettle to an army with 10 or 12,000 men..—Another Journal makes his force 15,000 men, but all these statements are very vague. What seems certain, is, tha t Marshal 111oncey is not disposed to march forward without being sure that General Donnadien, who'll; commissioned to keep his right clear, has taken a position in Spanish Cerdagne and that on the other side, his. Excellency has caused the coast to be occupied from Point Cervera to Cape Creuz, in order to secure his subsistence by ace. When :Marshal Moncey set out for Perpignan to repair tothe frontier, his carriage broke down before he reached Le Boulora, and he received Rome slight contusions, yet notwithstanding his great age and this accident, the Marshal entered the Spanish territory on horseback. _ . The Journal of Perpignan of 28th gives no information ' which we had not already received respecting the movements of the army under Marshal Moncey. Baron de Rottenburg hae arrived at Perpignan, and taken the command of the di. visision of the Eastern Pyrenees, of which that town is the ca. pits]. Baron de Rottenburg takes the place of Baron Curial, who commands a corps of the army in the field. General Donnadieu is gone to put hithself at the head of his division, which is in Spanish Cerdagne. The same Journal says, that the Bishop of Vich, who was under arrest at Barcelona, has been embarked on board a Tar. tane, with several Priests, and that when they got near to Me. lines del Rey.they were all shot. The Journal does not ex. plain whether this execution was in consequence of a sentence, or whether it must he attributed to the barbarity of the persons who were to escort the prisoners. Accounts from Pau, of the 2fith, state that several pieces of heavy cannon had passed through that town in carts, supposed to be intended for the siege of St. Sebastian.—(Journal du Commerce, May. PARIS, MAY 4.—The Municipal Body of the-City of Paris war admitted today to pay its respects to his Majesty, on the anniversary or his Majesty s return to his capital. Count Chabrol, Prefect of the Departmentofthe Seine, who was at the head of the Deputation, had the honour of address. ing to his Majelty the following speech 1a... • -‘‘ S lux—To-slay is the ninth armiversary of the day when your Majesty, restored to the love of your people, dictated the immortal Code of our laws conformably to our wants, to the spirit of the age, and to the lessons of experience. Events. and the passions have in vain menaced the foundation of the edifice which your Majesty has constructed; it ha* triumphed over political tempests, the inclemency of the seasons, and the attacks of man. Rich by its soil anti its cultivation, prosperous by its industry, powerful at laime by the order of its finances, formidable abroad by its brave army, perfectly faithful to its King, entirely devoted to its Prince—Franee reposes under the shelter of your tutelary throne, and confides in the star of a happy futurity. Spain, uncertain and troubled by a concealed fire, suffers itself to be sul.jugated by innovators, and opens her bosom to the poison of their false doctrines. Immediately her strength disappears—her empire separates—civil war is kindled between her children—she is a prey to all evils, and France, which she threatens, is obliged to lend her aid to the great number of faithful subjects against the audacity of the rebels. " What a shocking contrast—what a lesson to nations ! On the one hand all the benefits of paternal power exercised by the legitimate Sovereign ; on the other, a new and fatal trial of the sovereignty of the people, a fallacious maxim of an age which has been constantly refined by the evidence of facts, and the misfortunes of nations. " This example will not be lost upon the studious youth who are growing up under our eyes, and. who are to perpetuate the glory of France ! More happy than their fathers, they are destined to live under paternal laws ; they will duly bless the august author from whom those laws emanate ; these are sen timents engravers on the hearts of all the French, and of which the Magistrates of . your good city of Paris will never cease to give the example.' The King replied— • "1 have always received with new pleasure the congratula tions of my good City of Paris. This day is very dear to me ; it is that winch restored me to my children. I ant going among them to enjoy the expression of their love, and to let them read mine in my countenance." The Court of Cessation, the Courts of Accounts, and the Grand Master of the University, likewise paid their compli ments, and received most gracious answers from his 3lajesty. .After receiving the (=gran - 11141one of the above and other pub lic bodies, the King rode out in an open chaise drawn by eight horses, and was hailed wherever he passed with the moat enthu siastic demonstrations of joy and affection.—Hilintitenro We have received (says the Journal de Paris) letter s an d Papers from Aladrid of "4th April. They contain nothing very remarkable. Count Abisbal was preparing to leave the capital with his army ; it was not known which way he would go. The emigration from Madrid continues, and all the valuable effects that were in the capital have been sent to various strong places in the Peninsula. _ _ . . Accounts from Cadiz of the 9th say, that General Riego had been received there on the Bth with the greatest enthusiasm he 'nada Ueshort speech to the people, recomniending unani .mity, and strict observance of the Constitution, for :which every .Spaniard ought to shed his blood. The .Quotidienne says—" A letter from Vittoria, of 28th April, !written by one of the Officers attached to the household of the Duite.of Angouleme to his brother in Paris, says, 1 . His Royal Highness is to leave Vittoria on the hth May, to stop four days at. Burgos, and to arrive at Madrid on the 20th. One could not travel with more security in France, and our : army would already occupy the capital of Spain, if the Prince had not resolved to wait till the communication with Catalonia was perfectly established.'" The Bachange has been closed to-day on account of 'the Fete. In the evening all the public buildings will be illumi nated, as well as a considerable number of private houses. (From Me Couditutionweo PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. . " PERPIGNAN, APnir.liii:-15oniratIcisco Robert, Go. vernor of Vich for Lilt; Regency, who set out for that town with a mule loaded with Proclamations, in order to raise the whole country, returned here yesterday with all his baggage. After having assed several days on the frontiers, he has returned much a larmed; he Tetites that lie has been entirely bathed and stupified, as well ulna companions (the Monks and Priests), by learning, on the frontiers, that the whole population of Cats. lonia had risen en matte to oppose the invasion, and that their friends had abandoned them and made common cause with the Constitutionalists; but what most surprised them, and tilled up the measure of their astonishment, was . their learning that Gen. Mina, who was said to be almost without troops, was at Vich with 9,000 men; that Rotten was at (lot with 2,000, exclu. Sive of 400 men, whom he had detached upon Campretion t that 'l4obera commanded at liesaluget.and Tortola, where he had estahliihed himself with 2500 men, And that Milan* was posted at Estella, .141ada i and llasseguda.with 4000 men ; in short, that the ci..devanttiovernor of Viclt despaired of being enabled to fulfil his mission, and could not resume his post so easily as was urinated. , • " 3i d • Our troops have 'invested the of . Viguerase e Lssire, who was at the headquarters of the Marshal, returned on the 231, and set out from hence in the course of the day for Bayonne." • Letters from Cerdigne of the 22d, in the morning, say : " We were yesterday evening on the gel vise, notice having been given that General Mina had arrived at Bipoli with 6000 men; the fact.is, however, that 600 men have arrived at Ribas." " It is not supposed that Mina has made any movement upon Itipoli ; but it is probable, that having learnt the arrival of Gen. Donnadieu in Cerdagne, and that there was a talk of organizing a division, he has marched a small corps of troops into the val ley of Itibas, in order to be timely informed of the movements of General Donnadieu, if be should attempt to march upon Olot or Vich, the gorges of the Segre being guarded by Gorrea, and his troops being stationed in all the mountains which com mand them. The Ist regiment of light infantry, which was to have join ed the division of Darnel, in the Campredon, has received counter-orders ; it will remain provisionally in the division of General Donnadieu. Yesterday a denoi-brigatle of mules set out for Cerdagne, with mountain artillery, consisting of three small pieces and several caissons of ammunition. " The three other brigades will be organized when the mules have arrived ; they are destined to carry the infantry cartridges. " This evening Mogen Anton set out with two battalions, consisting in all of 900 men." ( From the courier Francois.) Mannm, Arnie. 24.—General the Count d'Abisbal has pointed out the cantonments which are to be occupied in the neighbourhood of Madrid, by the different corps of his army. These cantonments are as near to each other as possible ; so that the corps may commenicate with each other, and assemble at the same signal. The command of the Ist division of these corps is confided to Lieut.-General Don Jose de Zityas ; the 2d is commanded by Major-General Demetrio O' Daly. General the Count d'Abisbid made, on the 18th, a grand re view of the 3d army of operation, of which he has the command in chief. The different corps cantoned in the environs of Madrid were summoned to be present at this review, which drew all the population from the city. After having defiled on the bank of the Manganares, the troops manosuvred till evening. These trt have a fine appearance, and display, much ardour. The 18th, in the evening, the pieces of cannon and the artil lery baggage, which were in the depot of Segovia, began to arrive here. - The Political Chief of Seville has addressed a Proclamation to the inhabitants of that city, felicitating them on the good spirit which they have displayed under recent circumstances. The Militia of Seville were reviewed on the 14th ; the review was very splendid, and it furnished to the inhabitants of Seville a new opportunity of manifesting their enthusasm for the Con stitution. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PERPIGNAN, APRIL 21.—The forces of Minn, exclusive of the division of (lorrea, are estimated at 20,000 men, troops of the line. The division of Milan has marched to Estella Elado and Bassegade. This corps is one league and a halt' from Vi gonet, which is occupied by the Baron d'Eroles. Mina is at Vich, with 9,000 men, and the remainder of his imps are at Besalti, Torteila, Olot, and Campredon. lie has detached a small corps upon ltibas, to observe Gen. Donnadieu, who in debouching by the hill of Tosas, may march upon Ripoli and Olot. The Spanish peasants who come from that part of Lam pourdan occupied by our army state, that besides these troops, the enemy have a considerable number of Guerillas who will be in motion in a few clays. It appears that there was much incorrectness and exaggera tion in the reports respecting the spirit which animates all the inhabitants of Catalonia; the division of d'Eroles which was to have raised the whole country, has not received a single re cruit, and the monks and priests who were to have gone forth, still remain in great numbers upon the frontiers. Several have returned here. PARIS, MAY 4.—The public have remarked what Import: ance the Parliament of England appears to attach to every thing that relatei to the war against Spain, and to the situation of Europe. A simple motion tending to propose an address to the King inculpating The conduct of Ministers, has been dis cussed for three days, .and no determination yet come to. In any other case, or upon any other subject, a similar motion would not have occupied the Parliament for two hours. The language used in this discussion by the Ministerial Members is not the less remarkable. Setting aside the reproaches cast upon the Ministers by the Opposition, the partisans of the Ministry equalled, if not surpassed, in energy the orators of the Opposi. tion, when they wished to characterise the political system which has led to the war with Spain. The Ministerial orators, of course, cannot be accused of being Radicals. Mr. Baring, one of tini'llrat bankers in t.lurope, and those of his friends who spoke on the same side, are, by their situation and their. opinions, completely placed out of the reach of this reproach.— It mint be at once seen, 'that in England the men who are the most decided in their attachment to liberty, and even those whd are more moderate in their opinions and principles, have but one way of viewing a system which they regard as at once menacing the independence of governments and the liberty of nations. (Froni the Jonrnal dt. Debats.) The Journal des Debuts, commenting on this passage from the speech of Sir James Mackintosh in tho debate on the late negoctations, viz:--" According to M. de Chateaubriand, moral contagion knows nothing of distance; it is a principle according to which a Revolution at Tomhuctoo may be eon.; sidered as dangerous to France," has the following Note : " This reasoning, or rather this sarcasm, is little worthy of a grave and itteresting discussion. Sensible men perfectly un derstand what M. de Chateanbriand intended to say. Eu ropean nations are connected by a common civilization—by re ligious creeds derived front the same source—by a morality founded upon that religion, and absolutely identical in all the enlightened classes by frequent social communications, and even by the use of the same language. A moral contagion amongst nations placed in a similar situation is nothing less than a chimera. A compact of mutual benevolence between opinions and institutions, either religious or moral, is evidently the object of all true European policy. English Statesmen feel this truth. SPAIN. The following are extracts of letters receive from Madrid acid Seville : " MADRID, Arum N.—The proclamation of the new Re. geney organized under the auspices of the French Government has just arrived here, and has filled every one with astonish ment and indignation. Had the object been to excite in every Spaniard the most irreconcileable animosity against our in vaders, nothing more effectual for the purpose could have been prepared. To utter a formal disavowal of all the acts of the ,Spanish Government, 'political and administrative, Since the 9th of March, 1820, is to compromise, and of course make an enemy of, every respeptable man in the country. It has put an end at once to the indecision of those who were wavering, and has confirmed the exaltados more and more in their prin. ciple of resistance to the last extremity. Had a different course been pursued, the French, in entering Madrid, might have met many friends, and still more persons disposed - to wait .the the result of the Government to be established by them, be. lieving it to be founded at least on liberal principles. There will now be no pertions . of note or respe7tablity left in Madrid to support the new Government, or to give it consequence in the eyes of the people. There is scarcely a house the inhabi tants of which arc not removing or preparing to remove from the capital. All the members of public offices, the burreaux, and the municipal administrations. quit in the present week. " Abisbal with all his troops is also preparing to quit Madrid, and is collecting as numerous a force as the means at his dis. posal will permit. With the addition of the troops from Burgos, who quitted that place on the approach of the I.l.ench, his num bers may amount to from 12 to 16,000 men. His route is not yei determined on; some suppose he will move into Andalusia, but it is considered more probable that he will march into Eatremadura. He has issued a proclamation, declaring all those persons who shall support and adhere to the French, or even remain in the towns and places occupied by them, to be traitors to their country. All the men able to bear arms are to find out and unite with the national army, in whatever part of Spain it may be stationed." "SEVILLE, Aram question is in agitation here o re:Le g a t i o n: o : removal distrust t o h f a t t he Icing to Cadiz, not on account - of any danger that threatens the - Royal Person, but, it is said, prevails respecting the militia, and the want of harmony between them and the regular troops, in consequence of which sonic tragical events are apprehended.— It hasheen judged necessary to establish patrols of horse and foot, both within and without the city. With regard to the King's inclination, it is saittthat lie is unwilling to quit Seville, and that he ventured to declare so to several persons who have lately been introduced to him. " Ilut.the most important topic under discussion is the ex pected changes in the 111instry. On the 17th in the evening, a secret meeting took place of the chief members of the Cortes now in Seville, in which it was determined to propose to the King's acceptance, as Minister, Calatrava in the first instance, and that Sandio 'should afterwards be united with him if pos. sible, with the power of selecting their own colleagues in office. This step has arisen from a persuasion that the present men in power have acted imprudently in rejecting the mediation of 4 1 , 1 ei n e g e l te an d d . , wi n io nd iii i c h l a in t e a to t the nmpresent moment Ministers must be policy_ of attempting an amicable accommodation with France. • Whether this end will be an swered by the forrnation of the new Ministry is etill to be proved." THE SUN. SOLE:11 OrTIS DICER!. FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1823. The last Telegraphic Dispatch f..orn the French Amy announces that the advanced guard 'of General MOLITOR has been pushed 'towards Frage, and that the Spanish Royalists have taken possession of Alcaniz, the Constitutionalists still adhering to their plan of retiring before the enemy, and inviting him into the heart of the country. The progress of the French arms, there fore, is hitherto no indication of their eventual suc cess. The present dispatch, it is true, for the first time alleges that the Army of the Faith is re ceiving an accession of numbers, by the forma tion of several battalions of Royalists at Sara gossa. Even if this assertion should be well founded, which is exceedingly doubtful, it ,is more than counterbalanced • by the extensive defection amonpt the adherents of the Faith, great numbers of whom are known to have gene °se* with their arms to their patriotic country men. The French, too, cannot be too mu.:ll on their guard. They may ere long discover that the very men whom they arm and equip as Spanish Royalists will be found fighting against them under the national banners.— The intelligence in our present pap er from Perpignan proves that the fire of patriotism blazes with such intensity in Catalonia that Marshal MONCEY is justly apprehensive of the , consequences of pushing his army into the midst of a hostile population, which has risen en nose to support the defensive operations of the brave and skilful Gen. MINA. There the Royal ists and Constitutionalists are already making common cause against the enemies of their com mon country ; and Catalonia, bristling with armed men, presents so formidable an appearance, that the Agents of the Faith, who were proceeding into it for the purpose of preaching submission to the invaders, have retur..ed affrighted within the French frontier.
