Rivington, St. Paul' seliurch•yard, and Waterlota-place, Mr. Commissioner IlubLoci...,Serjeant Pell, what :do you' propose ? Berjeant propose that Lord P. shall not be escamint ed on the present occasion, but to-morrow, ,pt an early hoUr iu the morning, and that 1 may, in the ioteritn, have an oppor tunity of stating to him the nature of the proceedings, and by whom and for whom it, has been brought. I ask that opportu nity of giving him notice, which I did on Saturday most dis tinctly understand l should be allowed an opportunity of giv4 in to him. The Co ststoli SERJEANiT stated, that at 4 o'clock yesterday, before he left the Court, he stated to his Leirned Fnend, that from their determination not to call many witnesses whom they supposed they should have called, they would in all prohability. purpose that morning to examine his Lordship, and that the best . way to do that in the moat delicate manner possible would be to bring his Lordship there before any assemblage of the ple had arrived, and 'place him in a private room, until the Commissioners, Jury, anti the liar should visit him there..... He (Mr. Common scrjeant) also stated that. at nine o'clock. that night a consultation of the Coonsel in support of the Com mission would be held, at which this would be determined upon, and that due notice of the determination should be sent.. The consultation was held, and the determination to call.hie Lordship announced to Mr. Adam with promptitude. The Learned Gentleman appealed to Mr. Adam as to the correct. , nos of this statement. Mr. ADAM said, that the firstpositive information which he .received it the subject was at past eleven o'clock last night. lie sent off to Serjeunt Pell, but the family had retired to rE•st, and of coarse the: communication was not recei‘'ed by Serjeant l'ell till tioitt morning. Mr. Commissioner TItOWETt said, it was the province of dm Jury and the, Commissioners to Mirk as to the communication. between Serjeant Pell and Lord Portsmouth. He was sorry if any misunderstanding had taken place, but mistakes were every day occurring. • Sir Tito ALAB BAILING said, the Jury as well is the Learned Serjeant.might lay claim to feeling; the merit of which the Learned tterjeant seemed anxious to monopolize. After souse further conversation it Was determined that Lord P. should be examined privately at that moment. The Commissioner, Jury, and Bar, then went into the room in which Lord I'. sat, and it was understood that the Counti e l should not examine his Lordiddp; hut that the Commissioneri and Jury should put questions to him. . The Commissioners, Jury, and Bar, were with his Lordship For an twin and lialf,.and the Court then adjourned. THE COLONIES. o'Clock.

[From The Montreal Herald, January 1 1, 1623.] The friends of the Union of the Legislatures of Upperand Lower Canada, will learn with satisfaction the debar. . Ore for London, last Wednesday; of JAMES STUA4I, Esq, entrusted with the . Petitions from this City and County, from the Eastern Townships, and from 'various parts of both Pro vinces, in favour of that measure, 'and appointed to act as the special agent of the Petitioners. The following are the Petitions which the Montreal Com mittee of the Friends of the Union of the Provinces delivered o Mr. Stuart : 1.. A Petition to his Majesty. 2. A Petition to the House of Lords. 5. A Petition to the House of Commons. From the City and County of Montreal, Lower Canada. 4. A Petition to his Majesty. 5. A Petition to the House of Lords. 6.

A Petition to the House of Commons. horn the inhabitants of the County of Hastings, Upper Canada. The Petition 'of his ,Majesty's Borough of William Henry has only come forward in tune to be transmitted by this day's mail, and, will probably reach Mr. Stuart on or before the 10th inst., the expected day of that Gentleman's departure from New York in the packet ship Columbia, for Liverpool. On the present occasion, the friends of the Union in this City may be permitted to reflect with pleasure upon the ready and strenuous support obtained for the measure in different parts of these Provinces, as evinced by ten thousand genuine signatures of educated men, influenced solely by feelings of true loyalty and respect for their King, and by patriotic Intel ligence with respect to the permanent interest of their country. They have likewise good reason to congratulate themselves up. on their choice of an Agent, whose great legal knowledge, ex perience in provincial polities, and other qualifications rendered his acceptance of the appointment highly desirable. The ene. mies of the measure, in selecting their Agents, seem the slaves of habit, and appear to give way to the claims of certain leaders, in office ; but the friends of the Union have exhibited, in their judicious choice, a signal instance of public spirit and respect for talent, without suffering feelings of private friendship or habits of party attachment to interfere in the important decision. Without abating their vigilance, or neglecting the use of all honourable means to promote their cause, the, friends of the Union ought nevertheless to cherish the well faunded expecta tion, that the British Government will again urge forward that necessary measure, when they ascertain the extensive support obtained in this country from the educated and well informed part of the population, and when they find the various corro. borative facts and illustrations of the case, produced by the Agent,.coinciding in every important. particular with that mass of previous information which has been gradually accumulating on the subject in the Colonial Office, since the year 1791. • When all this extensive information shall be combined and subMitted to the consideration of the Imperial Parliament next spring, like seed sown into pod ground, it will surely Produce to us the Union of the Cinades, and consequently an ' abundant harvest of internal strength, tranquility and improve ment, and more immediately reward with feelings of inward satisfaction, arising front conscious rectitude, of purpose, all those who have been or shall be instrumental in bringing about the salutary change. To conclude, the friends of the Union on this side of the water, by diffusing good information, have already proceeded so far in promoting the enactment and in securing the tranquil execution of the measure, that they may soon be permitted like the pitios husbandman, in the language - of the Poet,• to , ex. claim— Be gracious Heaven, for now laborious man bias 4oat his part. Montreal, 10th January, 1023. tRITANNICUS. FREEMASONS' HALL, TOESDAY, Pane 18--Et GUTH DAY. The Court opened at ten o'clock this morning, and immediately proceeded to business. Mr. ADAM trusted, that as he had s columniation to snakes to the Commissioners that interested Lord Portsmouth person. ally, they would give him an opportunity of so doing ;it was of such a nature, that he had strong reasons for not wishing the subject of his communication to be Made: public; and yet that ,the Gentlemen of the Jury should be acquainted therewith. Under these ciecumstances he truste e d the Commissioners would afford him such an opportunity as would rally answer the purpose of the present appliation! It would se recollected, that the Commissioners had kindly pintnised to ' give Serjeant Pell due notice of the intrOductiou of Lord Portsmouth to the Gentlemen of the Jury, and as it was net until eleven o'clock' last night, that through the courtesy of the Ootionon Serjeant (Mr. Dentrtsh), his Lordship's Counaelepeee ramie aetreairttell.. with the intended examination of his Lordship this day, it was then too late last night for the Learned Serjeant to wait upon the Noble Earl, and this morning it was scarcely possible for that object to have been accomplished before ten o'clock, the hour for the resumption of the inquiry ; he therefore entreated that in justice to his Lordship, he might not be called upon this day, but that the Commissioners would be pleased now to fix the time of his Lordship's appearance, that the Learned Serjeant might have the desired and promised opportunity of apprising los Lordship of the near approach of the period fixed upon for his examination. Mr. Weer else Le, in reply, contended, that it was not ab solutely necessary that the unfortunate Nobleman, who was the subject of the present important investigation, should be ap. ' prised of his approaching investigation--he submitted that the Commissioners had a right to call upon those in whose custody the Noble Earl was, to produce his Lordship at any period of the investigation they ought think advisable,—he further con tended, that it would be most prejudicial to the justice of the present Inquiry to say in almost as many words to his Lord ship—es. You are to be examined to-day (or et any other given time) ; ,I therefore come to advise you to prepare for exnuiin. ation ; 11 _ for as it was notorious that the most confirmed lunatic had occasional gleams of reason or of cunning, a notice of such a nature might possibly militate most materially against the impartial proceedings of the present Commission. Mr. Serjeant IIueLOCK thought the Learned Counsel (Mr. Adam) strained un observation of his Learned Friend and co. adjutor (Mr. Trower) to an unfair extent ; it never could have been intended or anticipated that his Lordship's mind was to be thrown into a continued state of irritation by a communica tion of the nature of'that contemplated. The. Chief Commissioner, Mr. Tnow 11, coincided with his Learned Friend, midetbserved, that it would be moat impolitic, and approaching to cruelty, to give the Noble Earl an intimee tion that would agitate and disturb his mindfor the whole day, and the succeeding night immediately preceding the appointed period of his examination.—(Cries of as liens , hear, hear !" from the Gentlemen of the Jury.) Sir THOMAS BARING thought the Noble Earl would find two hours' notice amply sufficient. It was at length underetood that an immediate communica tion was to he made to Serjeant Pell, that his Lordship's at. tendance would be required at two o'clock. Dr. Sutherland examined by Mr. POWELL—First saw Lord Portsmouth in August. last; had not seenlitt Lordship since the 10th inst. ; had frequent intertiews and conversations with hie Lordship in that interval ; spoke to witness of his journee to Edinburgh ; said that he was taken there against his will ; that Lady Portsmouth being with-child, told lira she would swear it was his . finding him in a very ill humour one day, witness talked to him of bleeding felt his pulse ; restored Idm to a better tone - of humour,. he said he would at. any . time rather give up her Ladyship than his lances ; that Newton Hanson had once tied up his arm in the presence of Lady Portsmouth and Laura .Hanson; said he had been very ill• treated by a person named Alder, who was introduced to him as .t medical man ; Alder was acc u stomed to visit her Ladyship when she was faint, and that he frequently got into bed to her ; had frequently been obliged to sign blank cheeks and deeds ; wished he could have a 'divorce before the meeting; of Parliament, as he wanted to be married to a Lady of Stam ford-hill ; on the 19th of January his Lordship repeated to witness, most accurately, the conversations of previous inter views ; had attended here during the whole time of the pro. ceedings under the present investigation ; thinks his Lordship of perfectly unsound mind, and totally incompetent to manage his own affairs ; has no doubt of the disease being of long standing ; 'nor of his Lordship's having been unsound of mind in the year 18011. Cross-examined by Mr. C. WiLeteats-Thinlcs the ill. treatment his Lordship has experienced may . have tended to aggravate the disease of the mind under which he isthmus ; thinks it might be somewhat mitigated by a series of kind treatment ; thinks unsoundness of the mind more a defect than a disease—a weak mind may be deranged by continued ill.treat. meet ; if there be a natural debility, it is very problematical whether any subsequent measures could remove the inherent disease ; thinks the distaste of long mending. By theJuty-eA strong memory is not unfrequently found connected with a diseased and unsound state of mind ; witness has often experienced this in the course of an extensive practice.; conceives his Lordship's mindto have been naturally and ori ginally unsound, not merely weak. Mr. DEN Stax wished to make one observation to the Court. Mi. Skirrow, in his examination of yesterday, had stated, that whatever letters ids Lordship had put into his hands, he had 'forwarded to the,places of their destination ; be had to correct this statement by the production of two letters written by his Lordship to a young laxly, but be begged that the name of that lady *might be inappreised. `Phis being acceeded to by the Commissioners, the name was expurreed, and the letters put in (to be read after the examina tion orthe witness in the box,) Sir George Tuthill examined by Mr. 'WEI nr.n Eta..—Was introduced to bard Portsmouth on the 15th of July last, as a friend of Mr. Skirrow ; his Lordship stated that he had been niarried to his Present wife about eight years ; previous to his marriage ha called upon Mr. Hanson one Seturday, and expresse ed his wish to be married agein ; Mr. Hanson told him that he would never consent to 'his marriage unless it wax to one of his (Mr. }L's) daughters ; Lordship then went into the drawing-room, and offered himself to Miss Hanson ;• . he was told that he should have an answer on the Monday following; on the Monday his .Lordship went again to Mr. Hanson'` for the answer, when Hanson .told tutu that only on one condition would he consent to the marriage, and that was, that they should 'be married that morning ; his Lordship con e seated, and they were married accorctingY his leardship aims that about four year, ago a Mr. , Alder was introduced to as medical attendant upon Lod w Y m P l o a r te tsm oci ou n t ts h j ui th o u v r er :N i l iii r. Alder had gradually usurped p Lordship, and acted as if he was the master of his Ler& ship's house e . he was convinced he was a medieel man , be. cause he was frequently called up in the night to attend her Ladyship ; that on such occasions he came in his shirt only And laid down on the bed ; his Lordship had been frequently sent to fetch Alder;; had been frequently-driven out of the bed-room by Alder and Lady P., on which occasion he slept on a sofa; he further stated, thathe had been frecluentlY whipped, and cruelly ill-treated by Alder, the Countess, her sister, and brothers; when his Lordship was thriven from his bed, he was told that i t was tee punish him for what he had done wrong; his Lordship suffered even now from the drat' of the whippings and ill-treatment he had received. his Lordship did not know where he was going to when he was taken to Edinburgh ; there the ill usage of Alder .and Lady P. was continued; his Lordship had frequently been obliged to put his name to deeds and papers of various descrip. Lions, with the contents of which ,he was not suffered to be ec quainted ; his Lordship stated that he had never hien able to have any sexual linen:ollSe ; during the conversation in which his Lordship acknowledged his impotency, he expressed his wish to marry, as his third wife, a voungisdY residing at Stamferd.hill; witness was introduced to rand V. under the name of Williams, not as &medical gintleman e with a view of obtaieirig it more corn. pleteknowledge of the state of his Lordships Mind ; as the friend of 111 r. Bi t t rrow mi t L or d s hip gave every information to witness with the greatest willingness; et subsequeul interviews his Lord ship always told the semesters.: he_P ol . l "et e _d_ lllll ,, lancets and tape, 01111144 that when they were used to Preeeetest considerAhk,ex.. eitementoutd that he woinett ware of arty other gill al intercourse Witness west to Horstbournespatk in October and J'AnsarY--his Lordship ex pressod or. both ocsastons his fear of being attacked by a number of disaffected persons residingat Whitclitirch—hs establisher: a regular nightly gusrd, and when witness was there his Lordship gave instructions tattle servant, Whom he called the sorjeasit of the guard, who came up to bun as be was talking to his Lordship, and put tho papers r.ow produced into the hands of winless; a gentleman named Vi'arbutton was with witness, and on the occasion of their being at Hurstbourne, his Lordship said his nightly . guard skould be doubled ;. his Lardship points ed out a recess in his dining-room as the place where the throne wasso. be erected; a surgeon homed Williams was ?resent, and his Lordshi p desired him to act as his secretary and write down his sentences. • A paper was hert.produceds it was written by Mr. Williams from Lord Portsmouth's dietetical. The paper, which was put •in and read s began thus:— " I Lord Portsmouth pronounce this Newton Hanson to be transported for life to Botany Bay. Alder shall be gibbetted at Acton-green or hung at Newgate for the pleosure of the King. Mrs. Alder ailutil also be transported for life. " I goon to Mr: Hanson, that he should give up all his money for my benefit; I shall give him a month, and then I will dis train him for life. " I go on with my judicial case—" !The paper then sentenced variotta persons, who had been in different measures instropanSal to the cruel treatment his Lord thin had received, vinous degreesof punishment].

" Mark Swaites, and tour others (named)—to be imprisoned in Winchester gaol for 14 years. " Three persons (rouned)—to be transported for life to Bo.' tany. Buy. " Two persons tnamed)--to be transported beyond the seas for life. " Four persons (named) —to be imprisoned in Winchester gaol for 14 years." Shortly after this his Lordship talked of marriage—said he wanted to marry three hlies—would get married next week. He requested a Nis. Carslake to draw up the marriage articles Its he directed him—this was done.-•t hey were produced and read) t— " Articles of settlement, whereby John Charles, Earl of Portsmouth, pees to marry any one of three ladies. he has at any time married, and to make such provision as shall be nocess sary. (Signed) " PORTSMOUTH." Saw his Lordship drag a carter about the stable-yard by his 'collar, and, in proportion as the man cried out, his Lordship's laugh increased in loudness, and his pleasure became evidently greater; there was a piece of carpet and two hose-skins fasten ed to the man's back, and his Lordship afterwards told witness, that the man had not the slightest idea of that circumstance ; he called the man Jerry, anti observed, " this kind of discip line is necessary to keep Jerry in good order ;" halt a letter in his possession, written by Lord I'. to the Lord Chancellor, which witness took to that Noble Lord, who observed, that, under the present circumstances, he should not feel justified in opening that letter, without the consent of the Counsel opposed to the present Commission. The letter was put in, but was nut read, it being sealed and addressed to the Laid Chancellor. Witness believes boot P. to be of unsound mind, totally in- Capable of managing his own affairs ; has heard the whole of the evidence ; presuming it true, has no doubt of his Lordship's mind having been unsound in 1008. Cross-examined by Mr. ADAM--A man may be unsound in mind who is not a lunatic ; unsoundness of mind and lunacy are different shades of the same disorder; 'Dr. Itankheed re fused positively to see Lord Portsthouth in the presence of wit ness ; Lord Portsmouth is totally incapable of understanding a proceedin like the present ; witness considers that at this too inent lor d Portsmouth is totally insane upon the subject of marriage, and that he was equally insane at the time of his marriage with Miss Hanson ; arrives at this conclusion front Lord Portsmouth's ignorance of sexual intercourse ; Lord Portsmouth's taint' is certainly • unsound ; he does not under sstand the neutral relation of things ; he does not potties`; ale higher faculties of the mind': thinks his Lordship's minttlikely to 'become worse as age advances ; he is more likely to show his incapacities, as the limited faculties of his Lordship's mind begin to decay from the natural ettiet of age and infirmity. By the Jury—Hits been a physician at Iteddem Hospital for seven years; frquently finds a 'retentive memory in a person of unsound mind ; in no ease of insanity is the coercion used to Lord I'. necessary ; the influence of fear on his Lordship's mind is, of itself, characteristic of insanity a strung mind might labour under a delusion, but a weld; mind is not exempt from such delusion t has no objection to apply the term lunatic to his Lordship, but should prefer dna of tinsels:lamas of mind ; Lord Portsmouth exploited to witness a strong ohjec tion to Dr. Bankheuil ; his Lordship never stated his object in wishing to b. :wain married. Doctors Ainslie, Isithant, Monro, 'Willis, Walker, and llankhead, have also examined into his Lordship's state of mind ; the Lord Chancellor disapproved of Dr. Ilstikhead's admission to Hurstbourne Park ; Lord Portsmouth is totally incapable of arguments should not advise the reception into the hospital of a man similarly situated to his Lordship, anti for this reason, that they did not receive iocurables. Dr. Warburton examined by Mr. I)EN sisas—llus generally from 600 to 700 lunatics under his care; has practised in that particular branch of his profession for 46 or 47 years ; has seen Lord Portatnoutit in company with Sir Cl. Tuthill; Sonlitnis the evidence of Sir George; in addition to what he had related, his Lordship stated that he had seen Lusty Portsinvoth and Alder in bed together, at an inn by the toad side, in Wales; that notwithstanding that circumstance his Lordship continued to travel with their:, to which he did not object, because he said that Mr. Houton had told him Alder was ruptured, saw Lord Portsmouth: last on -the 10th instant; most perfectly agrees with Sir George 'Tuthill in his opinion of the stoto of mind of Lord Portsmouth ; thinks his Lordship must have been un souliti of mind for a long series of years; timidity frequently accompanies insanity ; a furious lunatic, when once subdued, becomes very timid; an idiot has ,tio memory, but lunatics hove frequently very gOod memories ; does not think there is the least probability of his Lordship ever being cured. . Cross-exotroned by Mr. '',;(orjerint. Potts—Thinks that after Willett hour's 'Conversation with Lord Portsmouth, liis.mlnd Was mode up its to his insanity. Question--In what department of a lunatic's mind doyou sup pose the disease to attach itself cannot say ;if you allude to the brain,: I have seen those of luaatics as perfect us dune of men of sane mind.' Conceives a man cannot be sane without some degree of memory, but a strong memory is no proof of sanity. Many lunatics hsve very accurate toad minute memories; if a man possess a correct judgment on any particular point,. he should call him' sane on that particular subject;. kind treat. . meat is the only system by. which insanity or temporary derange ment could possibly be lessened or removed ; thinks the mind of Lord Portsmouth so totally unsound that it cannot be se covered ; professionally, would candidly say it was a lust case; would not hold out the least hope of lesocningShe malady : thinks kind treatment would make his bordthip infittitely more happy than he has been. -All attempts by kind treatment, of treatment of any kind with a view of restoring the mind of Lord . P. or lather - of making a mind for .him , for his Lordship never hod a simper minds would be.useless. In his stasural state of mind his Lordship was quiet And harmless, but there were pout in his conduct and circumstances which in the whole made up the evidence of an unsound mind. To 144ible. to avoid din. ger was a faculty which, although it belonged to a sound mihd, was not one of a high order, as far as it related to obvious dan ger, and it amounted in many cases to a tort of instinct only. • The love letters Lord P. had written and given to Mr. bltir row to forward to a Lady residing at Sutmfordshill were here read. The Lady is one of many whom his Loolship hildpitehs ed upon as proper perilous on whom to confer the honour of bis alliance. The letters were neatly verbatim as follow " 2, Hanover-square, Jan. 29. p ea Madsaa—lt its a long time since I had the pleasure of hearing of your welfare and health.
