SPECIAL COMIMIISSIO\-GLASGOW, JULY 94. The Court met this day at nine o'clock, for the trial of William M'ln!gi•e, who had been arraign ed along with Wilson, already convicted. The LORD ADVOCATE stated, that it was not his intention to lead proof against the prisoner. It was the wish of the Crown Lawyers to prose cute those only who had been leaders in the late disturbances; and, as it appeared that the prisoner now at the bar was not so guilty as some others who had absconded, he would allow him to be discharged. His Lordship stated that he would consider it his duty to watch those individuals, and, if possible, to apprehend them, and still to bring them to trial for the crimes they had com mitted. The Loan PRESIDENT addressed the prisoner. Ile told him that he was bound, in gratitude, to reverence those laws by the exercise of whose leniency he was about to he discharged. The persons who had been engaged in the late trea sonable proceedings pretended to be in search of their rights, the rights of their forefathers. This conduct could only originate in ignorance of the history of their country ; for they now enjoyed ten times more liberty than their fathers ever did. If the prisoner had seen the trial of Wilson, he would have seen a poor man tried with the same solemnity, the same impartiality, and the same regard to justice, that the richest man could have been. The prisoner was then admonished to re- turn to the bosom of his family, and to act more circumspectly in future.—The prisoner was ac cordingly discharged. Matthew ,Boyle, - Alexander Graham, and John Mali, were next put to the bar. The LORD ADVOCATE addressed the Jury in the same terms as on the former case, they having been previously sworn; and they found the pri soners Not Guilty. The LORD PRESIDENT then admonished them to guard against such conduct in future, and he hoped that they would not be again deluded by designing men ; if so, nothing but the severest punishment the law can inflict will be admini stered. His Lordship begged of them to return to sobriety and hOnest industry, and dismissed them from the bar. John. May then returned thanks to the Court and Jury, in name of himself and companions, and promised to be no more found before the Court. Ifillianz Campbell and George Allan were dis posed of in the same manner. The LORD CHIEr JUSTICE CLERK, previous to dismissing them from the bar, addressed them in a very pathetic manner, and advised them, on re turning to the bosom of their families, that they should fear God, honour the Kin , and meddle not with those who are given to change. Wilson was then brought up for sentence, and being told that lie had now an opportunity of speaking to the Court, why sentence of death should not be pronounced against him, he stam mered out a few words in an incoherent manner. The LORD PRESIDENT then addressed him nearly as follows :—" James Wilson, you must be convinced of the impartiality and fairness with which the proceedings against you have been conducted. Fi om the exercise of your right of challenge, the Jury by which you have been found guilty may be considered as chosen by yourself; and the crime they have found you guilty of is the most dreadful that can afflict any nation. All other crimes are trifling when compared to it : it strikes at the root of the whole fabric oil which our happiness is founded. The horror of a civil war, where citi zen is contending against citizen, with deadly malignity, is far more to be dreaded than the most bloody foreign contest. No doubt, it was never dreamt by any rational being, that the violent people with whom you were connected, could be ulti mately successful ; but the intermediate evils your mischief might have produced, are terrible to. think of. The rights and liberties of the peaceable and loyal part of the commu nity are to be protected as well as . those of the turbulent and disaffected; and when they Were pleased with the liberty they enjoyed, they were not to be disturbed by the factious proceedings of the evil-disposed. I advise you most sin cerely to think seriously of your eternal interests, as you are, shortly to appear at the mercy seat of CHRIST, and I beseech you to consider well the errors of your past life, and make good use of the short time allotted to you in this world. Remember that the j ustice of God is as inflexible as his mercies are infinite ; and I trust you have not thrown off all allegiance to your Heavenly Sovereign, as . t appears you have done to your earthly one. The ministers of religion, of every sect and persuasion, will be ready and willing to assist you in preparing for the concerns of your im mortal soul. The recommendation of the Jury shall most cer tainly be transmitted to the proper authority, and I sincerely hope that mercy will be extended to you; but it is o ften fne hoseces sary for the Government to consider the expediency o t recommendations, and the power vested in the Crown Is as suredly not exercised capriciously, hut for the ge neral safety and prosperity of the State. I advise you, however, to pre pare for the utmost extreme; and if mere)be extended to you, you will not be the worse man for the attention whic h you may give to your religious concerns. The sentence of the law is—That you be drawn on a hurdle to the place of exe cution, on the 30th of August, and after being hung by the neck till you be dead, that your head he severed from your body, and your body cut in quarters, to be at the disposal of the King; and the Lord have mercy upon your soul." The prisoner was then taken from the bar, without showing any signs of agitation, and con fined in one of the iron rooms. The Loan PREiIDENT concluded the business, with an admirable address, in the course of which he observed, that he was afraid the upper ranks were not so religious as our fathers. He remark ed, that civil commotion leads to military des potism, and that liberty without religion ends in licentiousness. The Court then adjourned till the 27th of November. The Spanish Patriotic Society, established the Ist inst., and consisting entirely of natives of Spain, met yesterday, at the Old London-ta vern, to commemorate the opening of the Cortes, at Madrid, with an elegant dinner. His Excel lency the Duke de Fri As, Spanish Ambassador, and President of the Society ; was in the chair. 820. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. We lately extracted an Article from The Leeds Intelligencer, under the title of the PITT SYS TEM, written in answer to the assertion that our departed Illustrious Statesman had involved this Country in the War with France. A continua tion of that Article appeared hi the same Paper, but the unfortunate intervention of the discus sions relative to THE QUEEN prevented our copy ing it into THE SUN. We, however, did not lose sight of the object, and have this day the plea sure of inserting the remainder of the Article in question, as it effectually refutes the assertion al luded to, and not only proves the pacific senti ments of the great Statesman, and his confidence in the continuance of peace for a long period, but that France and France alone, by its ran corous hostility towards every other State, put an end to all pacific connexions with this Coun try, and spread consternation over all the Euro pean Governments, which it was its determined and avowed purpose to overwhelm and destroy. [PRICE SEVENPENCE. Om . declarations of neutrality were again renewed ; and. in compliance with a request of M. Chatterlin, the French Am bassador, by a Proclamation of the 25th of May, British sub jects were forbidden to enter into the service of any foreign power at war with France. " On the 21st of May, it was found necessary to issue a Proclamation of a different tendency. The circulation of se ditious writings bad increased to such a height, that it was found necessary to take some steps for repressing them. A communication had also been opened between certain Socie ties in this kingdom, and the Jacobin Club of France; a communication which boded no good to the interests of this country. To put a stop to these proceedings, a Proclamation was issued for the purpose of suppressing such publications and intercourse. This Proclamation has been wade a ground of offence but it . did not, in fact, interrupt the harmony between the two countries: nor did the French Government make any complaints relative to it. "'The recal of Lord Gower, after the deposition of the King on the 10th of August, 1792, has also beenrepresented as a breach of neutrality; but it was not considered so by the French Government at the time, as is evident from the letter addressed to Lord Gower by Le Brun, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and published in the Moniteur of the 26th of Aug., 1792. Indeed, the residence of Lord Gower at Paris after that event could have been attended with no •advantage.— There was no Government to whom he could have been ac credited ; all the authorities were merely temporary , and under al circumstances, his recal was the most prudent course the British Cabinet could pursue, after that atrocious piece of treachery. His Lordship was instructed to declare. pre viously to his departure, that his Majesty meant to observe the principles of neutrality, in every thing which regarded the arrangement of the internal government of France; and Le Brun declared, in a report addressed to the National As sembly, on the 23d of August, that had left a satisfac tory testimony of the sentiments of his Court.' " Towards the latter end of the year 179-2, the arms of France began to be victorious in alanost every quatter where they were engaged. On the 6th of Nov, the battle of Gemappe put them in possession of the Austrian Netherlands ; they had already conquered the Duchy of Savoy, which, in defiance of their pledge, not to seek for an extension of tertitory, they had united to France : and they were preparing to carry their arms into Germany. These successes turned the brains of the French Executive Government; and there can be very little doubt now remaining, but that the war with England was then determined or. Soon after the battle of Gernappe, the Executive Counsel resolved, that the Scheldt should he opened in defiance of various treaties, of which France, as well as England, was guarantee. The question of the impora tance of the exclusive navigation of that river to the Dutch, is only a secondary consideration, when compared with fists violation of the law of nations by the conduct of the French Government; and with the assumption which the haughty Republicans were thus tacitly setting up, of having the power to dispense with existing treaties at their pleasure. " Soon after this open infraction of existing treaties, and of the maxims of international law, Reveillere Lepaux pro posed in the Convention, a resolution, which was invuedi ately passed into a decree, offering fraternity and assistance to all those people who wished to procure liberty.' In other words, declaring, that France was ready to assist every nation which would rebel against its own Government. A decree, even still more obnoxious was issued on the lath of Decent= her following; which ordered the abolition of the existing Government in every country which was, or might be, occu pied by French armies ; decreed the suppression of taxes, peace, fraternity, liberty, and equality,-to such people as were willing to receive a French force; and declared, that the French would treat as an enemy that people, which, re fusing or renouncing liberty and equality, should choose to preserve, recall, or treat, with its prince or privileged. orders.'—By .its emissaries _in foreign countries, the National Convention was preparing the way for acting upon these Decrees; and its conduct to the English Jacobins was insulting in the highest degree to our Government.—De putations from seditious Societies were received at its bar; and the President, in reply to their treasonable addresses, applauded sentiments decidedly hostile to the Constitution. and Government of England; expressing his wish, that a change similar to what had occurred in France might take place ; observing that ' without doubt the moment was ap proaching, when the people of France would conic to offer their congratulations to the National Convention of Great Britain.' Surely such conduct, coupled with the Decrees of the 19th of November, and the 15th of December, was suffi ciently indicative of a hostile disposition to this Country. " The Minister, who could have idly viewed the approach ing storm at such a crisis, would have deserved impeachment. Mr. Pitt did not do so. The proof that a conspiracy had-been entered into ' by evil disposed persons within this kingdom, acting in concert with persons in foreign parts, With a view to subvert the laws and established Constitution of this • realm,' was too evident to be overlooked, and the encourage ment - which France gave to this conspiracy was equally glaring. Accordingly, on the Ist of December, a Proclama tion was issued for calling out the Militia ; and another for assembling Parliament on the 13th of the month., Previous to its assembling, a declaration in support of the Constitu tion was issued by the Merchants and Bankers of London, and most numerously signed; whilst loyal 'associations were formed in every corner of the kingdom. When Parliament met, an augmentation in the Army and Navy was resolved upon ; but the speech from the Throne was moderate, and expressed an ardent desire for peace. In this session, the Alien Bill was passed ; as was also one for preventing the circulation of French assignats ; and others to prevent the importation of corn, arms, and military stores into France from this country, which had hitherto been permitted. All these bills were made the subject of complaint by the French Government; but certainly most unjustly. With respect to the first, the Na tional Assembly had, on the lath of May, 1792apassed a decree perfectly corresponding to the -Alien Bill; 'therefore they had no right to complain of the latter. The prohibition of the circulation olassignats, was justified by the loss whirls they were likely to create ; and also from the facility which. it afforded the French of sending immense sums to this coun try, to be employed agaiOst the Gcivernment. •ffit.h respect to the other prohibitions, it was not likely that we should continue to supply a country with necessaries and military stores, the Government of which was known to be deeidedly hostile to our own. These measures were merely measures of precaution and defence ; rendered strictly justifiable by the conduct of our opponent ; and afforded no just ground of complaint, except our enemy's couduct had been without any shadow of blame. . " We cannot now advert to the negociations which took place between N the Ministers of the two countries;, but we beg to refer our readers to the letters which passed between ' Lord Grenville and M. Chauvelin, which may be found in the Annual Register, or in any collection of State Papers ; and he will find, that no satisfactory explanation whatever wile given ' of the conduct of the French Government; but all-their tin ; justifiable demands were persisted in and vindicated. " The subsequent dismissal of M. Chauvelin..by our Go vernment, after the murder of Louis XVI. has been consider ed by some persons as a declaration of war on our. part ; •but it appears, that the French Government had theinselves• not only determined to recall him, but actually signed an order • for his recall, about the time that Louis was belieided. Whets that melancholy event took place, Chauvelin 'was malonger an accredited Minister, and the British Government bad a right to dismiss him ; but what must ice think of his recall by the Government of France, if they had wished to remain at ct cr s ol j v n i peace ?—The fact is—they had resolved en war; ,and .on the ' first of February, after playing off a farce of pego'ciation through M. Mares, war was declared against England. If our space would permit, we would here enter into a re futation of the sti fled; but we must draw this subject to n:eloee . arid )re are persuade nce . them, that the charge of Mr.-Pitt's having involved hi s ich n Country in war,' is false.

" We now proceed to say a few more words upon the as sertion ' that Mr. PITT involved his country in war, and rendered us a party to a confederacy of despots, against a great nation, struggling to burst the chains with which it bad been bound for centuries.' These are high-sounding words; but unfortunately, they are not at all applicable to the subject in dispute; and are " Like a tale told by an ideot, Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing•" Long before what the writer, from whom we have quoted the above assertion, terms a confederacy of despots,' took place, the struggle for liberty was over in France. The day-spring of freedom, which had dawned so fair and promising, was followed by a dismal night of licentiousness and misrule. In the words of the immortal Burke, On the side of reli gion it was atheism, and anarchy with respect to Govern ment;' and be justly characterized the predominant pOtitical feeling, as an irrational, unprincipled proscribing, confis cating, plundering, ferocious,' bloody and tyrannical (demo cricy.'—The decided contempt evinced by this ' tyrannical democracy" for the laws of nations, and their open infractions . upon the rights of their neighbours, fully justified the con federacy' not of ' despots,' but of legitimate Sovereigns; anx ious only to secure their own and their people's rights. " The ' confederacy of despots' has, however, in fact, no thing to do with the conduct of England, or with the ' Pitt System.' The Government of England declared its determi nation to adhere to a strict neutrality ; and we have the confession of both our enemies and friends, that this deter mination was adhered to; whilst there is a series of highly of fensive acts on the part of the French Government, ending in a declaration of war, nut by the hostile Ministers of Great Britain, but by the pacific administration of France. To ad duce all the proofs which are in our possession on this sub ject, (and which no man need be ignorant of, who will only give himself an ordinary degree of application) would require ' a volume, instead of the scanty room which the columns of a weekly paper can afford ; we will however mention a few of the most prominent, and, for the present, dismiss the subject'. " It is well known, that in the month of •kugnst, 1791, the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia held several con- ferences with Monsieur and the Count d'Artois, the result of which was, a declaration, signed by the Emperor and King, in which they state, that they considered the situation of his Majesty the King of France, as an object of interest to all the Sovereigns of Europe; and they pledged themselves to take measures for the purpose of placing the French Mimarch in a situation in which he could act with Freedom, provided other Powers would render their assistance. Applications were made to these other Powers,' amongst whom was Eng land; and the Emperor himself declared to M. de Bonilla, its the mohth of September following, that ' he was assured of the co-operation of all the Powers, with the exception of England, which was- determined to observe the most strict neutrality." , This declaration proves, that England did not take any part in the conferences at Pilnitz, and was no party to the coalition then forming against France. This is not an isolated proof, but one of many, which we could adduce' would our room permit ; it is corroborated by the declarations of the French Ministers themselves, and therefore cannot be disputed. Another proof of the pacific disposition of the Government of Great Britain, was given by the reduction of the army and navy early iti 1792 ; the failing to renew the Hessian subsidy, which had expired; and the repeal of taxes to the amount of 200,0001. per annum. Indeed, on the 21st of February in that year, Mr. Pitt declared, in his place in the House of Commons, that ' it was not unreasonable to expect that the peace they then enjoyed, should continue at least fifteen years; since at no period of the British history, was the pros pect of war further removed, whether the internal situation of the kingdom, or its relation to Foreign Powers was consi dered: Indeed it was acknowledged, by Brissot, that En gland had observed the most strict neutrality, till after the - 10th of Aug. 1791; whilst the national conventio-. extended this term tr-the beginning of the year 1793. It is not a little remarkable, that at the period, when, according to these ad missions of the enemy, England was strictly neutral, and when she had reduced her army and navy, that France should take measures for augmenting both her land forces and her marine. The increase of the former might be accounted for by the proceedings of the continental sovereigns ; but the latter could only be aimed at England. s , In the month of April,jl792, the French national assembly declared war against the King of Hungary and Bohemia. * Bouille's Meuioirs, r er Lsoc" of 7 ~~b Sf• tla t a to 1 . v tai ° f sal 2 . :11' Slj ;cl • Or_ Of IS" s, Y, i','J an wi (ir r 1~~~ la °1 aw e( ,io t ' IT'(C' .1 1 ‘ i s , 11 11 ' 0 Dew r e / I ° k.
