On the sitting of the full Court, the Cl-118F Jusrica called on the ATTOR- N BY-GENERAL, who immediately prayed the Judg ment of the Court upon Henry Hunt, Joseph john son, and others. ng Tao' e exPg' domes 3 it W e Bill to nariufs C° The Defendants having appeared; Mr. tiunT stated, that Johnson was amending his affidavit, and prayed the indulgence of the Court for time .to effect that purpose. The Court having al lowed this, in the Course of half an hour the whole of the Defendants came into Court, each !miring the usual insignia of Radicality, a White Hat.— Mr. HUNT then handed to Mr. DEALTRY seven affidavits ; the first was his own ; the second Johnson's, and the third from Dr. Healy. These being read, the four others vvere put in, two of which were, however, re jected, it appeari:g to the Court that they could not be received, they containing matter in lie pie.' ugh on' ed gene' on cot' ro be i some in as I Wiel be CO rupt 13 it SIIOL ruse W contradiction to the evidence of a man of the name of Chadwick. The Court considered this testimony ought to have been tendered on the trial, and, therefore, could not then be re teived. The Court mere occupied a considerable time in deliberating on this point. Mr. HUNT, Then, in a forcible anneal to the COIW, requested, That the parts of. the information of which he and the other Defeudanis had been fo.ind Guilty, should be kept separate from the other charges of which they had been acquitted, and requested that part of the (dal should be read for that pur pose.

MY DEAR FRIIIND-I tc setid you all the news of our grand Capital, which languishes in this sweet vi ,let seasod, doling the ib4ence of mir grand Prrjec,or. Yet I can assure you), that plots'are as active here, as before our great roan crossed the line, in3tead of stopping at the end of it. You must know, big keep it as a great secret, except publishing it, as the Tithes and Chronicle • do with their Secrets, that there is great teason to believe that a Certain Royal Duke sacriti:Td him self just to please his party. The assassin ac knowledges that he was bribed to it--and pray, where could the linonaparrists, or the Liberals, find money to pay an assassin ? Depend upon it, that the Doke stood in the way of the assassin when he struck the blav—then, how could it be otherwise ? he not been there, he might have been alive and well to _d„y Now I think I have proved that as clear as the six hundred and fifty Wiled and wounded at Man chester, by about fifty Yeomanry and Dragoons, or twelve a-piece for each—pretty well for a mu- dery Butadil !! ! In a month or six weeks, you will hesr a great deal about a blow up or two at the Thoilleries and Louvre; but I know all about it. I saw the poor Duchess and her waiting maid go into a grocer's shop. nn pretence of buying gunpowder tea, and come out, each with a pound of gunpowder in her hand, laughing heartily at the intended explosion. Depend upon it (that is the way I think that the Times gives its best in formation)--depend upon it, the Duchess merely wishes to nighten herself into a miscarriage, in order to be sent back to Naples ! I have the best information that KOTZEBUE'S death was in consequence of a conspiracy between him and SANDT, only there was a slight .mistake in the execution, for SANDT was to have been stabbed, and not KOTZPBUE! 1 understand you have had published in your dull foggy capital a life of that '' interesting and energe•ic Youth," togethe;r with his portrait in your print-shop windows—that is right—who can tell but some of your interesting and energetic youths may have taste enough to copy the print, and chew their love of the art ; and perhaps ob tain a merited place at the next public exhibition by the favour of the Hanging Committee!. Depend upon 'it, this is all as true• as if you had read it in the Times or Chronicle. Your's, DENNIAD XAOH. CURSORY THOUGHTS. Why is a certain Classical Maiden Speech thought to be like a gnat gun badly pointed? Because it was thought to go wide of the tnark. Why is the recent Classical quotation of an M.P. thought to be like a burning match ? Because it is thought that the Maiden Speech, so like a great gun, could not have gone off without it. Why is it thought that the u►►successful Candidate for a Northern County, laughs too much at Royal Rat-catchers ? Because it is thought that Ministers, in their thirst after place, may take that place also; and that the laugher would have no objection to. he caught in the trap be laughs at. THE PARK. —The promenade in Hyde Park yes terday exceeded any thing of late years seen in til , • circles of the bran monde. In compliment, nO doubt. to tl►e appto.act.ing Coronation,-the Ladies displayed a more than usual proportion of d rems o f Royal blue, with boots of the same. The Earl of CHATHAM'S departure for Gibraltar is at present ruspended, from what cause has not yet been declared. Mr. WALTER BURRELL is at present so much indisposed as to be unable to attend to his Parlia mentary duties. _ Saturday last being the birth-day of his Most ► F„i i t,l„l M a jesty, the occasion was celebrated in the Chapel of the Portugues e Legation in the morning ; and afterwards by a s , 'mphious dinner given by his Excellency Conde DB PALMCLLA to a nfimetous party of Portuguese Gentlemen, or fof,ia„ers connected with that Government, whe ther Civil or Military. During the dinner a nu merous band of music pla) , ed in the garden. At the usual hornr several toasts were given, viz " His Most Faithful Majesty the King."—" His August Consort the Queen, and the Royal Fa- Hi s most faithful and ancient Ally the King of Great Britain."--'' The Portuguese Army in the Old and New World," &c. &c. It is not trite, as has been stated in several Pa. pert, that Mrs. BEECHER (the late celebrated Miss O'NaILL) is afflicted with a complaint in her eyes. Her actual case is however a heavy one ; but the expiration of nine months from the date of its origin, will, we hope and trust, nut fail happily to delirer her from her present situation. Mr. WARDE, Mr. FARREN, Alr. BEDFORD, and Miss GREEN, of the Bath Theatre, are said to be engaged by Mr. Halms fog the opening of the Dublin Theatre, under the new management. Epsom Races commence on Wednesday next, and the greatest race day in England will be on 'Thursday, for the Derby stakes, for which are expected to start. On the evening of the 28th nit. as Sir JotiN TRCL LOPE, Bart. D. C. L. cat Caseivick, near Stamford, was returning from a meet ing at Spalding, in company with Colonel DENSIIIRE, he was suddenly thrown from his horse in Little worth Drove, and pitching on his head, eras killed on the spot. REMAINS OF A GlANT.—Lately, as Rome work men were employed in excavating Knightstone flock, at Weston Super-Mare (an Island lately purchased by Mr. Howe, of this ci►y, for the con struction of Hot and Cold Baths), the skeleton of a man of enormous statnre was discovered, a tew feet below the surface, and near it an antigoe earthen vessel, containing bones of smaller size ; the tan anti the skull of the lam er skeleton were unfortunately broken to pieces by the carelessness of the workmen, hut many of the bones ary pre served in tb.e haunts of the curious. Conjecture is very busy as to the antiquity of these remains, and the character of t he gigantic personage whose frame they once held together,—(Bristol Journal.) POETRI% TO THE PRIMROSE. BY JOHN MAYVE, SQ. 3y murm'ring Nith, my native streatrii, I've !laird thee with the morning beam, Woo'd thee among the Falls of Clyde— On Leven's banki—on Kelvin-side! And now, on Hanwell's flow'ry plain, I welcome thy return again— At Hanwell, where himantic views, And sylvan scenes, invite the Muse; And where, •lest erring Man Should stray, Truth's blameless Teacher leads the way!

Aprung, like a Primrose, in the wild, Short, like the Primrose. MARtoN The Spring that gave her blossoms birth, Tore them for ever from the earth ; Nor left, oh me nor bud behind To tranquillize a Parent's miml, Save that sweet bud which strews the way, Blest Hope, to an eternal May ! Lorn tenant of the peaceful glade, mbleni of Virtue in the shade Pure as the hloisums on yon thorn, Spotless as her for whom we mourn Of all the flow'rs that greet the Spring— Of all the daw'rs the seasons bring, To me, while dooni'd to linger here, The lowly Primrose shall be dear! On the Return of Sir THOMAS LAVYRE.tiCE, President of the Royal dicademy. BY JOHN TAYLOR, ESQ. When LAWRENCE left the British shore, Tbouo friends his absence might deplore, They felt a nobler aim ; Assur'd that one with pow'rs so rare, Country's merit would declare, And more adorn her name. And hence, we find, he naark'd his course, With manners bland and mental force, Taste, knowledge, judgment, ease; Besides a Genius that has pow'r To ART'S snbliu►est heights to tow'r, To strike, instruct, and please. But while with justice all admire, t Did he no foreign modes acquire Throughout his distant range No- r •he rejoin'd.his native shore As truly British as before, Nor could uninjur'd change.

Of this debt the present Duke knew nothing, until he received a payment on ac count front the agent of the King of ENGLAND, who, on his accession, appears to have hastened to pay the debts he incurred as - Prince of Wales. A part of the money has been dedicated by the Duke of ORLEANS to the payment of the purchase money of some woods and forests whkb the Duke has bought. to the amount of five millions."— (Jquinul des Deba:s.)

This sensible treatise was addressed to the first Parliamet,t after the Glorious Revolution in 16S8, and probably had its influence on the illembeta of it.

The Parliament of England is that Supreme and absolute Power, which gives Life and Motion to the English Government. Ic directs and actuates all its various procedures, is the Parent of our Peace, Defender of our Faith, and Foundation of our Properties; and as the Constitution of this great Spring, and Primum Mobile of Affairs, is in Strength and Beauty; so will also all Acts and Performances which are derived from it, bear is suitable proportion and similitude. For whether the Constituting Membera of this Great Body be such, as may give it the denomination of Sanctum Indoctutn or Insanum, (try which Epithets some former }'arliamt•nts have been known and distin guished) such will also be all the Acts , ind Statutes which are made by them, each natur.illy wearii t the Character and Likeness of that, to which it owes its Beiug. This Great Council bears a date, eozevotts per haps with the Originals of our Government, and was Conitituted with softiieut prudence and cau tion, with relation to the Innocence and Igno• ranee of the Times and People then in being. It was then, that a'Deed of three inches squat e,was ufficiew to convey away twenty good Manoors and Lordships. But Sub:ilty and Cunning hay. ing now made some bolder advances into the World, we are forced to alter o:tr Measures, and instead of Inches to take Ells. It seems therefore necessary, as io things of smaller concernment, so most especially iu matters of so much greater mo• ment, (as is the Settling and fortifying our Pat lia ment,) so to erect its Bulwarks ants Rampiers, that the most vigorous Attacks of Fraud anti Cot. ruptio►. may make nu Breaches or Inrodes upon it. It is here, our care and diligence ought to be applyed with the greatest exactness; for as our Laws and Government are E,t a Wished, we can de. rive our altp . piuess or Misery from no °Hirt Source. It is from the Fruit of this Great Coun cil that we must expect our Nutriment, and front its Branches our Protection • I hope therefore it may not seem over officious, if with the skilful Gardiner, I do open and expose the Roots of this great Tree of the Common-Wealth, with ►►r, intent that every Branch and Fibre may with the greater ease and convenieney, be so trimmed and laid, that no Detects or Redundancies may con" tinue; But that every individual of this Great Body, may happily conspire to produce tl►at Peace and Tran►luillity in ►he Nation, which may be ex pected from their Counsels, and a we:; constituted Government. 'lt seems then reasonable to believe, that the priviledge of sending Representatives to Par meat, (though grotunlcu upon a Natural and Fundamental Right in the People) was at first immediately derived from the King ; for that, where Histories and Records begin to transmit memorials :o succeeding Ages, we find HIM send. ing his Writs, directed to such Persons, Towns, or Mills, which he thought most considerable within the Kingdom, by vertue of which Writs, Elections were accordingly made, and Itepresen. latices returned to Parliament. That the King's Prerogative does still extend to giant this Fran. chise, to such other Towns or Villages as he shall think fir, 1 cannot affirm, because some (a) Learned in the Law a. , sure (a) Pryns Re. us it cannot legally be done, but by g i . a l i s r L :nt ut lV Act of Parljament. But others are I Part, f 238. v. again of a contrary opinion, as was adjudged in the Case of (b) Duncan- (Ft) Hob. Rer. non anu (c) Newark. It is certain, f ( o l4 ,i ournai tif that Parliamentary in suers were the ConhaoNs never settled otherwise than by Act House. of Pat liament, as appears by several (d) Statutes in such Cases made, vs) 5.R.2. c. 4. and we also find the ptiviledge of i• 5 "• l • 23. IL U. c. sending I.lleml)ers to Parliament, given to sevt; - al places by (e) Act of (6 . 27 .11.8.c.M. Parliament, which had b een none - 34 IL 8 C. I. CCMiry, could the King b l on e have 35. H. S. C. it. granted it by any other Method. It is moreover a thing of very dangerous conse quence, to have such a power lodged in the King alone ; for then he might therein , infranchise what number of VA!s he pleases, and by the same power place the Election of their llepre•sentatives in a select \un d er, such. as he should•alw:rys have the power to direct and appoint ; which would he in effect to choose his own Parliament, and thereby to Make or REpeal what Laws lie pleases. Wherefore I conceive this polo! ought now to he so settled, as for the fir tire to obviwe ell such inconyenieucies which might. otherwise thing, which also requires the care of this Greta Council, is to limit must restroiu ttte
