FURTHER RESPITE OF H4tRRIS AND DAVIS. We stateiti in our paper of yetterday, that in consequence of thsaconfession of Davis, in which he solemnly affirmed that Barrie was not concerned in the robbery at the house of Mr. Mines, both these men heel been respited for two cleyo. This humsenueleterueination was adopted by Mr. Hob: house, in the absence of hir• Secretary Peel, with the view , of Ingutriess how tar.aheartesyeratiens of Day's were foiinded, in feet. _The ffrat step taken *Mite Vse ene.tiiii 'intirthilaitlion'ar • Davis, who persisted in his declarations of Harris's innocence. The witnesses who spoke to Harris's identity were then re.. questioned, and were again brought heto the presence of the prisoner. On this occasion they repeated their belief that he was one of the robbers. Still the matter remained in some sort of doubt and Mr. Secretary Peel having arrived in town yesterday, the matter was brought under his consideration at the Home Office. Mr. Richardson, Earl Cowper's solicitor, attended. The report of the trial was reconsidered with great attention, and with this was compared the confession of Davis. Nothing, however, wag elicited from this comparihm, which could fairly justify a further delay of the dreadful sentence of the law. In this stage of the business some new and importune facts catr.e out. Sir Richard Birnie, while in the discharge of his arduous duties at Bow street-office, was informed that come of the officers had been heard to say, that they had heard (in the early stage of the pro ceedings, and prior to the trial of the men), from some of the well-known family men (reputed thieves) that John Harris war net in the robbery in question. It is known that there are channels through which the Police officers obtain important in. formation in the discharge of their duties ; and, in order to us certain the character of the report thus circulated, Sir Richard felt it his duty promptly to inquire into its details. Avis, Mor ris, and Nicholls, the three men who hadteen engaged in apprehending these convicts, were then sent for ; and they distinctly stated, that, in returning from Hertford, they fell into the company of two family men, whose names they men tioned ; and that these men distinctly said—" Harris was inner cent of this robbery." It was true, lie was well acquainted with Davis and others who were concerned, but he was in no ways a participator either in its concerting or execution. Another of the same party said, " that he lenew Harris had nothing to do with it, and only heard of it after it had been accomplished." To the stories of these men was added another circumstance, tending to the same conclusion, namely, the positive assertion of Mrs. Dudfield, who was well acquainted with all the party, that it' Harris suffered, he would die innocent of the crime im puted to hint. But a still more important fact was obtained by this inquiry, on which Sir Richard laid a much greater stress —it was this : In the confession of Davis the name of a man was mentioned, with whom the officers were well acquainted, and whose person they all said bore a strong resemblance, both in height and general appearance, to Harris. Having elicited these facts, Sir R. Bluth: lost not a moment in proceeding to the Home Office, and taking with hint the officers in question. — The possibility of a mistake in the testimony of the witnesses RR to the identity of the man, and of their having mistaken him for another, at once struck the parties assembled, and it was there fore decided, as most consistent with justice and humanity, to delay the execution still further; for which purpostra messenger was forthwith dispatched to Hertford. Directions were then given to the officers to spare neither pains nor expence to unravel the mystery, and to apprehend all or any of the parties named by Davis in his confessions. Minute inquiries are also to be made in other directions, and the friends of Harris will be afforded the opportunity of producing evidence, it' they can, to shoe where he was on the night the robbery was committed. He confessed him self that he was out of the way; but this, he says, arose flow the fact of his wife having obtained a warrant against him, at Mary. lebone Office, for an assault. At all events, it is now certain th a t he will not suffer until all the doubts which may have arisen are satisfactorily cleared up; and this delay, it is manifest, can in no way compromise the ends of justice. Much credit is due to Sir R. Birnie for the benevolent spirit which has actuated him upon this, as Upon many other occasions, in the discharge of his office. It may be recollected that on the trial an alibi was attempted to be proved by the child of Harris, to the effect that his fa. ther was on the night in question at Astley's Theatre : but the child, in cross-examination, having given confuted answers, , little value was attached to his evidence by the Jury. The friends of the prisoner, however, relying on the fact, yeeter ' day caused bills to be stuck up in various parts of London, re. questing the person to come forward who had left the Theatre ' with him on the night of the robbery, and the result of these bills has been, we understand, the discovery that the prisoner was, on the night in question, accompanied home from the , above theatre, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, by a re spectable tradesman of the name of Maisey, living at No. 6, Circus -street, New Road, and who yesterday went to the Office of the Secretary of State. According to an official Report in the New Fork Gazette, there were 598 Newspapers, of one soft and another, published in the United States in 18`23. MK. EDlToil,—Our own free country affords numerous instances that freedom of speech and freedom of discussion may be carried too far, and, in proof, I need only adduce the case of a high-minded and estimable Baronet in the House of Commons, the proceedings against the Inde pendent Whig (newspaper), and the incarcera tion of Mr. Coanzrr and others, and the re• peated prosecutions whicls.-l*r_e % taken place in our Courts of Law for libel. I°`. In this enlightened and happy' country the executive hart.. found it necessary; for the well.; being of the State, not ,only to: impose restric tions, but often. hitie been obliged:to use the strong arm of power in keeping • pub lic speakers and writers within proper and constitutional bounds. If this is the case in England, where a counteracting influence exists, and an antidote to the poison is always to be found in contemporary prints professing different political principles - and sentiments, let tire, in dispassionate and can did language, ask every well constituted mind how is it possible a Free Press can exist under a despotic Government ? India ever has been, is, and must be a purely absolute Government, re gulated by laws and institutes as dissinfilar from those of any other civilized state as can pos sessing an immense subjugated population, the great majority of which are of military habits, restless, ambitious, and bold. India being fa r removed from the Mother Country , the-adminis tration must possess a decisive and arbitrary.con troul ; if this is abused it is amenable to his Ma jesty's Government, the Parliament, the Board' of Coutroul, the East India Directors, the Court of Proprietors, and, lastly, public opinion. We all know the Government have the power,, and on . occasions can use it ; as was the case in the long protracted and cruel trial of that much injured and calumniated man WARREN HAITINGS.— Among the numerous millions of India, many will be found dissatisfied and intriguing, and only waiting for an opportunity to replunge the coun try into the measureless woes and indescribable horrors of former Mahommedan rule and oppress sion. In the hands of these men, unrestricted liberty, not in discussing the merits or errors of Government, but in inflaming the public mind by false and seditious writings, would in a few years, after various bloody struggles, bring about a revolutionanst -.fo,r.er.#l#o7 o w'ol,tPower ortyte - arutsis Ifie - OrThriTAa .i"stitinent, and give to the Musselman life lost:doMinion. Heaven in its anger could hardly inflict a heavier curse on the beautiful. plains of Hindustan, that in restor ing the Maliornedun to power. Every page of history, every village and field, steak of the re morseless, cruel, and desolating sway .of the for mer rulers, yet our mild, beneficent, and pros perous rule is to give way for the visionary pro ject of enlighteuing the natives by a Free Press. God forbid that I should oppose the freedom of speech, or of writing, in India, did it promise to the „„ t i v " one single, advantage or comfort, but thoroughly convinced in my own mind that the effect produced would be disastrous to their pre sent happiness and future prosperity, and at the same time he the infallible means of ruining us, and causing, by inflammatory and revolutionary writings, discord, and civil war, I will for ever raise my voice against a Free Press in that coun try. Ido it on two plain and simple princi- ciples ; first, that the natives in no possible way can he benef►ted by it, and, secondly, that it must be injurious to us as foreigners and con. querom Ilavina premised thus far, our observations shall be discussed as concisely as the importance of the subject mill admit, and in endeavouring to lessen, if not do away, the effect produced by misrepresentations and exaggerations, we will be as brief as possible. The Indian community, may be divided into three classes; the first, and of course the largest part is the natives, Ilindoo and Nlusselmans— the former being about one to ten of the latter. Among the native population it. a sprinkling of Jews, Arabs, Armenians and. Parsees, with a few Chinese. The second ,classis the officers, • civil and military , of his Alajestt an d t h e E as t India Company's Service. The third class con sists of the European community, all of whom are, or ought to be, licenced acconliog to Act of Parliament. These Consist of free merchants and free mariner's, perions who are smuggled out by, being borne on the Ship's Books a s seamen, Sic., and allowed to depart on the ship's arrival. Probably the most numerous part of the third class are those persons who have deserted froM the East India Shipping. It is the latter part of the community whom faction anti clamour wish to establish as the British Public in India; if they are such, they must be froM their political situation in constant hostility to' the Government; it is not in the na ture of man to do otherwise; he goes nut to India under certain restrictions, and, while there, must conform to the orders and regulations of the Go vernment, as eitablished by the flritisti Legisla tive in England ; he it .consequently ever dissa tisfied and anxious to throw off the necessary re straint and surveillance in which he is plaCed ; but that which most excites his displeasure, and, often gives rise to misbehaviour and reproach, on the part of the licensed settler and deserter, is, that ,he is not permitted to go up the coontry to SATURDAY.

Those who know the dissipated habits of the IVlussulman Princes are aware, that to obtain money they would not hesitate to pay 100 per cent. for it, and, to defray the interest, would in the most unmerciful manner rack.rent their ter ritories to the last rupee, alt of which evil must fall upon the lower orders. The amount of Car natic debts, and the late Hydrabad affair, are cases in point; and had not the British most justly and opportunely interfered, those rich countries would have been ruined 'and depopulated from the extravagance and rapacity of the native Princes, who, I am sorry to say, found abettors and supporters in the class of persona of whom I am now speaking. As the colonization end con sequent loss of India, the brightest jewel the British Crown, was never contemplated by the Home Administration, It became necessary to place restraints on those who wished to settle in the interior ; this has been a great cause of di,. content, and those who cannot do as they think fit, and fail in either influencing or cajoling the acquiescence in their objects Ganodve,,r.nismh,eztniyntoofratn to Li free press, to insult and reproach the Executive ; false statements are made, exaggeration is given to their claims, and they insult and revile the Government to their hearts content, not considering that the Admi nistration is doing no more than its duty, and that which the safety and prosperity of the state imperiously require. The mind of the native, by these ails-represen tations and often falsehoods, is biassed and in flamed, and it often happens that one of the said public, being connected with him, and generally indebted to him, takes part with the European, and that which he published in his own language is translated into the native newspapers (of which there are four in Calcutta alone) with every cir cumstance grossly perverted, shamefully exag gerated and distorted in every pmsible way, and by whom ? By the very persons who have cone out to India by permission and under a promise of good behaviour, and at the same time posses singe are t a full knowledge of the penal statutes and themselvesmunicipal n thecountry her laws to wldch t h w eyh e they a . tsubjected o reside. India presents a fine field for a literary man, possessed of u daring and turbulent spirit ; this spirit, in an ambitious man, is strengthened and impelled into action by the restraints wisely placed upon his actions ; the more his political eiews and exertions are cramped, the more firmly and zealously he becomes from principal the op., ponent of Government, and throtigh him the hidden libeller, the private enemy, the :miry mons assailant, vent their libels and malice. uy thus administering to the base, disappointed, and vindictive feelings of others, situated like him self, he becomes not only popular, but a champion in the cause of the said public. Every public measure, every act of the Government, however necessary, justifiable or meritorious, is stigma reviled,end held up to scorn and derision by the very persons who live in th e country merely . by sufferance, who have no right there, and may by law be at any time remov e d. Were the effect of the evil confined to the Eu ropean part of the community, it would lose some particle of its dangerons and odious character ; but it is with the natives where the evil is felt in full force, and is productive of the most mis chievous consequences ; they carefully copy and circulate the libels and insults offered, believe them to be true, and in turn fancy themselves aggrieved and oppressed ; they are thus imper ceptibly taught to believe that the Government is any thing but mild and beneficent; the conse quence is evident, that Government which they formerly looked upon . with respect and admiration, they now view as Nelfish and arbitrary its measures; and weak and irresolute in permitting its. own subjects to 'vilify and calumniate at pleasure. This much 1 know from personal observation made dur ing two long visits to Calcutta. -1 know it has been repeatedly asserted, that in the late restrictions placed on the press, the Government of the country wished to keep the people in a state of mental darkness ; nothing was farther from their intentions, as the subjoined paragraph, published' on the occasion of issuing the late orders, will satisfactorily prove to those who will view things through a clear vision 44. The foregoing rules impose no irksome re -44 strain's on the publication and discusion of any " mutters of general interest relating to European 44 or Indian affairs, proCided they are conducted 46 with the temper and decorum which the Govern " meat has a right to expect few those living un " der its protection ; neither do they preclude - cc from tffering in it temperate and decorous .unner,thr'ough the channel of the public news '" papers,. or • other periodieal,Works, their own " views and sentiments relating to matters tt i gitt 66 ing. the interests of the community." This beneVolent and liberal language needs no comment; all the Govirnment wished to. avoid ' wa s political discussions, anonymous censur es on their public officers, and highly coloured , the.

We have however to premise that it is not a news paper article which we ate about to translate ; but upon the other hand our information is collected from proceedings. and reports which have been legally attested by constituted autho. titles, as well civil as ecclesiastical. Mr. It. S. Briscoe, a 51agistrate Of the city of Washington, the seat of the Government of the United States, declares that upon the 24th of March, 1824, a woman of .10 years old, named Anne Martingley, casts before him, anti, after her first being s worn upon the holy Evangelists, deposed to the following effect : " For these last 7 years past I have tattered dreadful pains in my left side, in 'consequence of a cancer. The most experi enced and skilful physicians had attended me, but all their prescriptions were unavailing. I had, consequently, lost all hope of recovery, when M. DuLuisson, Assistant Minister of St. Patrick's Church, exhorted me to perform a VJIV in the most holy name of Jesus, in conformity with the directions that had issued from Prinee Hohenlue. Having first confe.v. .ed to M, Nlettliews, the tector of the aforesaid church, I re ceived the Holy Sacrament front ',f. Dubuisson on the 19th of this month, at four o'clock in the morning. Such were my sufferings and exhaustion at this moment, that I belies , - ed I was verging to my last breath. Under this impression, I then. offered up, mentally, this prayer—' Lord Jesus! let thy holy will be dune.'
