FRENCH PAPERS. ( From the Journal de Paris of Thursday. ) A UGSBURGU, AUG. 11.—An English agent, who was on board of the Captain niche's ship, has sent to the Governments of the different islands in the Archipelago an invitation, in the Dame of Lord Strangford, to submit, and accept the amnesty offered by the Captain Paella. This invitation was unanimously rejected. Fraal the journal des Danis of Friday.) ODESSA, .1 wi.v 21—We hear from Constan tinople that Lord Strangford was about to return to England by way - or Trieste, having obtained pe,rmission to repose after his fatigues in the late negocia tions. STOCKUOLM, A UG. 3.—The Journal known by the name of I Manna has horn suspended since the beginning of this month ; that is, the publication is forbidden till the King again grants permission. In the number for July 22 there was a satirical article on Orders of Knight 'hood ; it is not, however, quite certain that this gave occasion to the suspension. Auosnunass, Auo.lo.—Austria still uses great exertions to reconcile the King of Portugal and the Emperor of Brazils. An extraordinary con tier was lately sent to Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador at London, with new powers. Baron Kriegelstein is not to return as Ambassador to Lisbon, but another will not be appointed till after the return of Prince Metter nich. (From the epastitutiontacl. ) natra, Alfa. 20.—There can be no danger in saying that the Gazette de France yesterday contained a terrible article against philosophical ideas. Th. author goes back to the 'time of Marius. and the admission of plebians.. to the Consit.• late ; and then he thunders against Lealter, Calvin, Ziska, and Sydney—against the whites and the blacks. De is quite in despair because grapes are' cultivated in Mexico, and he im. putee it to the philosopher*. We, it says, by the help of che. utility, snake sugar, co tton, and coffee; England, it thinks, is seriously threatened,' and is therefore invited to unite itself with .Ibo Kings of Europe. For our parts, we shall take care not to • - refute any one of the opinions contained in this article. Senaoosse, Allay si• 4.—We were enjoying the moat per.. " 'feet tranquillity here, when a trifl th ing occurrence disturbed our harmony. Some days ago e Captain-General, Count d'Espagne, gave orders that the Royal Volunteers ehould not wear any arms unless on duty. On Saturday, July 31, this order was renewed, and was to be carried into execution by force. Some of the volunteers thought this was intended for the purpose of disarming them. On the Sunday . morning, therefore, some of them went into the stree ts with their swords concealed • under their coats; their example wa s contagtous l and a greater number joined-them. The C a ptain.:Cieneral, • intormed of this act of disobedience, mounted on horseback, and caused the troops to . be placed under arms . The volunteers found in the streets were arrested, but a greater number, who were on the public promenade, clime to rescue them, murmuring against the Captain-General. They drew their swords, but neither he nor the troops were alarmed; and not only did they keep possession of those whom they had first • seized, but they also made some of the most forward of those who came to rescue theirs prisoners. The remainder then retreated, anti in a very short time not one was to he seen in the streets. The French garrison pertly turned nut under arms, but nothing further ensued ; and though the precaution was taken of doubling the guards, public tranquillity was not again inter. '..rupted. BARCELONA, Ano. 9.—Letters which have been lately re ceived say, that sonic sAitioes movements, which .are gene. rally attributed to famine, have been made in the neighbour. hood of Alicant, and in some places of Extremadura. D.

General La Tour Foissac has sent two detachments of troops to the two points where this movement manifested itself; it is confined to an insurrection of 200 or 300 men. - • It is not true, as the Journal du Commerce says, that the yellow fever hes appeared at Cadiz. We can affirm that this news is false.. It is to be observed, that this journal, in quot. ing the.news from the journel of 'Toulouse, does not quote the . concluelon which contradicts it. Letters from Smyrna - of the Ifith of July have a little raised -the courage of the Greeks. They affirm that the Archipelago Is covered with Ilydriot, Spezziot , end even Ipsariot vessels, those islanders ,having saved a great part of their ships, and even of their riches.

Ruffino Peres Baptista, at sea 95 days, crew 164 men, passengers 308." The Captain stated in writing as follows: " In consequence of many calms, contrary winds, and a great scarcity of provisions, and the ship not being likely to reach the channel of Mozambique with the monsoon, these were urgent reasons which obliged us to return." He added ver bally, on the 14th May that he had put into S. Thiago de Gar bo Verde, where he left 4 exiles (renegadoes) sick in the hos pital, staying there only 4 days. Letters have been received from his Excellency Don Manuel da Camara, Governor and Captain-General of India, dated Goa, 27th January; this year. • The Governor states, that on the 19th January the Portu guese galley Lusitania had arrived at that.port, after touching at Colombo, where it stepped twelve days. It brought official documents and other papers from Lisbon, dated from the 10th June to the 12th July last year, confirming the news received a few days before through the English papers, that the king had resumed the exercise of his inalienable rights. his Ex cellency describes at length the rejoicings that took place on the receipt of this happy news. He ad ds that the city enjoys perfect tranquillity, notwithstanding the late dissensions. The provinces of Salsette, Betides, Pintin, &c., continued to enjoy uninterrupted repose. Tranquillity has also been restored at Alacao. The Portuguese are on the best terms with the Eng lish and neighbouring Indian Princes. The Archbishop of Croniganor, D. P. Paulo de Aquino, died on the 19th December. The Lfrbon Gazette gives extracts from the Goa Gazette, de scribing the rejoicings that took place on the arrival of the news from Lisbon.

Sr. Ps rr;usttunrx, JULY 31.—The Government has now received official information of the favourable measures which the Porte has adopted. for the advintage of the Russian ships that sail to a port in the Levant. They are under the special protection of the Porte ; and so long as there ate no Russian Consuls in the Turk. ish ports, the Russian subjects are to apply for certifi. elites to the Austrian or French Consuls. Russian ships com ing from the Mock Sea may proceed without hindrance into the Archipelago, and are not subject to be visited ;' but if they come from the Mediterranean or the Archipelago to a Turkish port, they are subject to the regulations laid - down for ships of all nations. - The day before yesterday Was . the funeral of the late Lieutenant-General -Belancourt.

Von Monger, formerly Chief of the Police at Cassel :—M. You Monger was a- man very touch given to extravagance, and it wan chiefly to find means to pro. vide for his great expenditure; that he continually invented con • spiracies, because, under the pretext of tracing them,.he oh. tamed the command of considerable sums of money, under the head of secret service money, which he applied to his own use. Besides which be carried on a traffic with all the officers in his depurrtnent. Thus•• for instance, he sold theplace of Secre. tary-General for 6,1)00 dollars, to a man who was afterwards his eccomplice, and in the %equal gave important information respecting his cr»ninal intrigues. •• After Ins eentence•Was pro nounced, he was conducted to the fortress of Spangeenburg, under an escort of a strong detachment .of the same gen d'armerie that formerly executed his own conmiands ' and the sequel shewed the propriety of this measure—the inhabitants of the towns and villages through which he had to pass being so incensed against hits, that more than one attempt to do him violence was made.

It is true that the Court of Stock. holm has manifested much dasatisfaction at the late proceed. Infra of the Norwegian Storthing, notwithstanding the assur ances given to King Charles John by the. members who com pose it, that it is by no means front a systematic opposition that certain Royal propositions, for instance, that of the absolute veto, have been rejected. Nevertheless his Swedish Majesty persists in-the opinion, that by maintaining the relative veto as it now is, there will always be an infringement of the Alonarchi cal principle ; since, in certain cases, the Monarch is excluded from all participation in the legislature. It was, however, af firmed at Stockhohn, that one of the most influential Members of the Cabinet had taken upon hiin'the office of' entering a ne gociation, on the absolute Veto, with the principal Deputies of the Norwegian Diet.- liAttastms, - Auu. 16—Mr. Huskisnon, M.P.

It is affirmed that General Primont is going to he appointed to an important military post in Austria. No successor in his command of the army of occupation is spoken of: it it at present confided to Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg. The Austrians, as we hear, occupy. at present all the Neapolitan ports,' and exercise the strictest vigilance with respect to all vessels that arrive or de part : fur the purpose, as it seems, of preventing, a.. 1 much as possible, all communications with the Greeks, and with the provinces famerly belonging to the Turks where they are now masters. A thing that cannot be doubted is, that Austria is of all nations that which most zealously opposes all intercourse with Greece, and it acts accordingly, not only in its own possessions, but in all those countries where it exercises any in- fluence.

TIIE COLONIES. CANADA. [From the Quebec Go-attes of the 12th and 15th July.] QUEBEC, .ItLY 12, 1824. GEN ER AL ELECTION. The Parliament of this Province is dissolved by Proclamation, (kited the 6th instant;• and it is qotifietl, in the same document, that Writs for the Election of a new As sembly were to be issued on the 10th, and be returnable, for all places except lissiA, on the 20th August, and for Gaspd on the Ist October next. The House of Assembly of the eleventh Provincial . Parlia ment was elected in virtue of writs returnable on the 25th July and 12th September, 1820. By the Constitutional Act the duration of the Assembly is limited to four years, which are nearly expired. The dissolution always takes place on the issuing of new writs: According to the regular course of the duration of the Assem blies, the new Parliament ought to be the ninth instead of the twelfth, which is accounted for by three premature dissolu tions ; two of which happened during the administration of Sir James Henry Craig, and one at the death of his late Majesty George 111. • The present Constitution of the Canadas has been in force only thirty-two years; a period hardly to be counted in the existence of a people and their institutions. During these thirty two years various jarring* and difficulties in the operation of the (;onstitution have occurred ; they were perhaps inseparable from the passage of a country from the Government of a few, (a form essentially arbitrary although tempered by the freedom of the country, upon which that few was dependent for their power), to a Government in which the body of the people have a share. The progression to the new state of things has, how ever, been invariable. Thirty-two years ago, the population of the .province did not perhaps exceed 150,000 ; it is now pro bably 000,000; sixty or seventy vessels arriving annually in the St. Lawrence, carried on the whole external trade of the country, which now occupies nearly 800 ships. The trade was in so few handl, that it almost amounted to a monopoly ; it is now re gulated by an extensive competition. The inhabitants of the Colony having, legally, had no voice in its general concerns, took little interest in what was going on. There were only two Newspapers in the'whole extent of the Canaries; there are now twenty ; there was not probably a school in ten parishes ; there is now one for every two or three parishes, notwithatanding all the obstacles which have existed. The Freeholders would not attend the elections of their Representatives. Two angry dis solutions, the imprisonment of sonic Members of the Assembly, and several warmly contented General Elections, brought al most every voter to the polls, and spread generally, although no doubt sometimes erroneous notions of Representative Go vernment. It was soon understood that it was an important pri vilege, that no new laws could be made, no old laws altered, or taxes imposed, without the consent of Representatives freely chosen by the body of the community. The late attempt to alter the established Constitution, in a way to affect that pri vilege, and the almost unanimous opposition which it experi enced throughout the Province, shows how deeply the Consti tution has taken root ; for although that opposition has been attempted to be accounted for, as was the case in the old Colo nies, by prejudice and the arts of a few factious leaders, in the one case as well as in the other, had such persons existed, they must have. been indebted for their success to u general feeling among the people, of a real interest in opposing the proposed measure. • Every day, every event gives new vigour to the system of free Government, which the justice and liberality of a British king and a British • Parliament have established by la w i n C an a da.— It is now indestructible for ages in its constitutional channel, its course will be placid and beneficent; impeded, it (will swell and burst forth, carrying along with it a terrible but temporary desolation. The natural *Woof society in America, the equal distribution of landed property, which is even grater in this country than in any other part of this continent with which we are acquainted, would have at length introduced here a system of free Government. Where men are independent of each other foil the supplying of their necessary wants, there is no Mode of governing them for any length of time, but by the public opinion of the conimon interests, founded on that sense of justice which is so general amongst all mankind : this is free Government. The population must he consulted, they must have recognised modes of expressing their opinions, and of giving them weight; this Is the British Constitution, and the Constitution under which the Electors of the province are now called upon to choose those whom they are willing to trust with the exercise of their constitutional powers for the ensuing four years. No one has aright to doubt their discretion in a matter which so closely concerns them, and of which the law makes them the exclusive judges. It is one of the advantages of the repreeenta tivesystema i i ii ti o it s t e t: , e ho pe il o v p e le an a i r og are generally and have been long judges of the character known. Indeed•in this respect they seldom, if ever, err._ '% shall conclude this article by an extract from an old Eng lish Constitutional writer, as expressing a correct opinion of one essential requisite of a representative body:— " There is nothing ought to be so dear to the Commons of Great Britain as a Free Parliament, that is, a House of Com cieFzieoensin; t hei r Freein Persons; theiDi Fre e rsnii Returns i d h i e e t; ir s ni t n e t Estates; mons every Way free and independent either of the Lords or T.r i g n e i s t r l y r d t - Assembling ; Free in their Speeches, Lions ; Free to complain of Offende rs Free in their Prosecu tions for Offence* ; and therein Free from the Pear or Influence of others, how great soever ; Free to guard against the In croachments of arbitrary Power ; Free to preserve the Liberties and Properties of the subject; and yet Free to part with a share of those Properties, when necessary for the service of the public. Nor •can he be justly esteemed a Representative.of the People of Britain, who does not sincerely endeavour to defend their just Rights and Liberties against all Invasions whatsoever." Ec rmisEs.—There have lately been two Eclipses, the one of the Sun, the other of the Moon, both visible in this latitude.— That of the moon occurred on Saturday night last, and was very distinctly seen ; the portion of the moon eclipsed was about one digit and a half, or a little more than one-eighth putt of its disk. An Eclipse of the Sun, - in which n less proportion of its disk than in the Moon wasobscured, occurred on the 26th ultimo.— It commenced 26 minutes before sun-setting, and the Sun sunk below the horizon while eclipsed. The cloudy weather did not permit it to be seen at Quebec. We have had for sonic time past in this City a company of players, who had been acting at Montreal during last winter.— Mr. Judah and his wife, who are the principal, 'have appeared to considerable advantage in several characters. The encou ragement they receive, however, is but little. !qr.

The Lapraire steam-boat went down yesterday morning to Berthier, on the south shore, a distance of about 25 miles, and returned in the evening. The day was very fine, and there were about 139 passengers, who were well . pleased with the beautiful scenery of the river. Mr. I'onsy, Marchand of this city, while amusing himself in the fields at Berthier, unfortunately broke his leg a little above the uncle. We' are told that M. Gener, who was lately President of the Spanish Cortex, has arrived at AlailhOt's Hotel in this city. We understand that Hobert Christie, Esq. advocate _of this city, has been appointed Chairman of the Quarter Sessions of the inferior_district of Gaspe.

The Chem bly is u large boat, being 153 feet in length on deck, and 39 feet beam, with a fifty-horse power engine, but drawing only three feet, which is necessary to enable her to navigate the shal low water of the River Richelieu. Her model is a beautiful one, and we are told that she sails very well. Another boat, it will be recollected, is buildineor the same navigation by Mr. Kuper who was a proprietor of the Steam boat I)essallabery, which was destroyed by fate near this city in 1023. Mr. Molson, with the spirit of enterprprize, to which the Province is much indebted, has erected a large and commodi ous Hotel at Chambly, nod a now wharf and extensive stores have been commenced, and will soon be completed. COUNTERFEIT BANK - NoTEn.—A spurious Fifty Dollar Bill of the Bunk of Canada, was passed yesterday at Mr. Old scamp's Retail Boot and Shoe Store, by a young woman when buying a pair of shoes. In the course of the day, - the Bill, upon being offered fur payment, was refused ; the woman was looked for and found, when she alleged that she had received it front an American, one Danwartz, at the Cove. Constables pro ceedeti to the CeVe, and a search was made in town, both with. out effect. The lodgings of the individual, we are told, were discovered in TOwn, but he had gone oil' in the day with a woman of bid character.

SIIIM/NAL SIDE. (Refire Afr. Justice Dußnotrott.) Andrew Leslie was indicted for maliciously setting fire to the house of Alexander Walker, at Bermondsey. The Jury having heard evidence, after a few minutes consi deration, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty ;" The Foreman adding, that the Jury did not consider the man to. have been in his right mind at the time of the transaction. John Filch was indicted for stealing a pocket-book, and' two sovereigns, from the person of John Henry Frederick de Dom pierre, on the 30th June The prosecutor stated, that on the day mentioned in the in dictment, he and a party of a doien, after dining at Cumber land Gardens, proceeded to 'Vauxhall Gardens, where he lost his pocket-book. He did not exactly know the time when he lost it, but his pocket had been cut, and the book gone. He immediately spoke to hall, the officer. The pocket-book con tained two sovereigns, and a blank cheque, with other memo randums. Robert Hall is an officer; he heard of several robberies hav ing been committed in the Gardens, and was on the look out; Mr. Dompierre came to him at the time that the prisoner was in custody ; the witness desired the prisoner to walk into a little room called the Treasury, which he did, Mr. Dompierre ' accompanying them: He then searched him, and found upon him three or four sovereigns and a guinea and silver ; and CaVe, a fellow officer, produced a blank cheque from his coat pocket ; upon which M r. Dompierre said," That is my cheque; don't chew it me, for I can tell you the number,"and the num ber that he stated (066) he believed was the number of the cheque. The prosecutor then exclaimed, that he had taken a valuable purse, which he would give five guineas fbr. The prisoner said that he knew nothing about it, and that with re spect to the checque he would explain it some other time. The Prisoner was then called upon for his defence. He ad dresed the Court nearly as follows :—My Lord, and Gentlemen of the .Jury, this is a charge of which I am as innocent as the child unborn. I had been going to another part'of the gardens, when found the checque, which I picked up, as any person might have done. Ile had very little to say as to Mr. de Dempierre's evidence, except as to the mistake that that Gen tleman had.made with respect to the number of the cheque.— Ile had been reared, as he might say, in the lap of affluence, and after serving for twenty years in an honourable profession, was it to be supposed that be could be so mean, so despicable, so low as to descend to pick pockets, more (especially in so pub lic a place, where every eye was upon him, and where it was impossible to escape? It made his blood run cold. Again he would ask if he had been guilty would he have kept the cheque, a piece of paper quite valueless ? Would he not rather have instantly thrown it away, if, as had been represented, he was a burdened offender ? To their verdict he looked ; it would either enable him once more' to hold up his head before all the world, or blast hitu for ever. Mr. Justice Bu 'motion. sununed up at some length,; and the Jury, after consulting together for a quarter of an hour, re turned a verdict of Guilty ; but they nevertheless expressed some doubts on the subject, and therefore recommended him to mercy. His Lounstitr, in passing sentence upon the prisoner, said he had no doubt as to the propriety of the verdict. Ile per ftetly knew who 1w was, and he thought he could not do better, in order to.remeve him from his present companions, than trans port him for 14 years. FRIDAY.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.-HEREFORD, FRIDAY. SLANDICR, AND CAUSING A RUN UPON A BANK. IittOMAGE ART) BNEID, V.POOSSER. The action was brought to recover damages for slanderous words spoken of the plaintiff's, in their business of bankers.— The defendant had pleaded the general issue. Mr. CAMPBELL said, that the plaintiffs were bankers; they had a banking house at Monmouth, and another at Brecon.— They had for years most honourably and punctually kept their payments, and lived in the highest credit. It was well known to the Jury, that imputations against the credit of a bank were most dangerous, as it spread like wildfire, and caused a run to be made upon it. The defendant in this case resided at Crick bowel, in Breconshire, 'and it would be proved that he tra felled from his house at Crickhowell to Brecon, and there he reported that the plaintiff 's house at Monmouth had stopped payment. As soon as the report became current, the notes of the plaintiffs were brought in, and the loss and inconve nience occasioned to the Plaintiffs were considerable. The circulation of their notes decreased in a short time to the amount of some thousands of pounds. In bringing this action, damages were not the primary object ; but it was brought for the purpose of restoring the injured reputation of the plaintiffs by a verdict of a Jury of their country, He proceeded to call the evidence. The charge having been proved by evidence, a letter was put in and read, which had been sent by the plaintiff's to the defen dant, asking him to apologise for having given currency to the report of their bank having been stopped payment, which letter the defendant treated with silent contempt. Mr. TAux.rox was heard for the defendant. The Learned Judge summed up. The Jury retired for an hour, and then returned a verdict for the defendant. The Foreman of the Jury said he was requested by his bro ther Jurors to say that they disapproved of the conduct of the defendant, in not making an apology when required. Mr. TA UN T N said that his client had requested him to say he was extremely sorry that his language should have been misconstrued, as he never intended to injure the credit of the Tilt KING v. THOMAS AND °TITERS. This was an indictment against the defendant Thomas, and five others, for a conspiracy and subordination e t p er j ur y, to in (knee, and inducing witnesses to swear falsely on a trial or ejectment_" Doe on the demise of Wm. Reese and David Terry v. one of the Plaintiffs "—which trial was heard at the Great Sessions, Cardiff, in 1823. This trial was a renzauet the last Assizes, and as soon as the case was opened, TausTox, for the defendants took several objections to the framing of the indi c t ment , w hi c h was of such enormous length, as to reach nearly across the Court. Counsel on both sides were heard at considerable length, and Mr. Justice PARK decided that The objections were fatal to the indictment. The Jury, therefore, by his Lordship's directi on , returned a verdict for the defendants of Nut Guilty. EXETER, AUGUST 20. CROWN SlDE.—(iefore Mr. Baron.OAßltow.) munn Ell. William Marshall, aged 42, was indicted for the wilful mur. der of Ann Taylor, at the parish of 13readclist, in this county. Mr. COLE MIME addressed the Jury on the part of the pro.. secution. From the solemn nature of the charge which it was his duty to lay before them, he felt satisfied that it was unne. cessary for him to call their most patient and serious attention to its investigation. The case was one of the greatest possible delicacy and difficulty, as they would have to inquire into the state of the prisoner's mind at the time he committed the act.--- It was a case of far too grave and solemn a nature to allow them to suffer the feelings of an Advocate to have any operation on their minds, and in stating it to the Jury he should omit no cir cumstance the effect of which might in any degree be favourable to the prisoner at the bar. William AlFshall was a man rather advanced beyond the middle period of life, who had for many years served - his Majesty in the corps of Royal Marines. Ile left the service about ten years ago • and it was due to the pri soner to say, that he believed he left it in consequence of some affection of the head. He was a married man with children; and upon quitting the service he settled at a place called Broad clist, five miles from Exeter. In the month of June last one of his children was seized with a dangerous illness; early in the morning of the 28th ,June the prisoner went to Exeter to pro cure adme leeches ets aPply to the child. How he spent the.day he (Mr. Coleridge) was unable to say; but he din not return till about five in the afternoon, and he believed it would appear that he had been drinking, and that he complained of theliquer in his head to a person who met him on the road. At about nix in the evening he entered his cottage, and found his child still alive in the lap of Ann Taylor, the deceased, who had come from motives of charity to assist its unfortunate mother. lie t ulan a n n e d r. thitichwe was s a p d believed it would appear that the prisoner was in a state ofgreat er ta su ll a ce Ll in b l r agitation,n to lie down and endeavour to compose his mind; he did so; but soon after he rose, said he must go out, and ran in a frantic man ner down trio stairs. The spectacle which first met his sight Was undoubtedly one of a most lamentable kind—he saw his chill by lira extravagant and inco. stretched a lifeless corpse upon the table. Ann Taylor, the tin• fortunate deceased, was in the room, and several other females, his wife to go upstairs assisting in performing the last offices-for the child. The pri soner seized a shovel; the women ran affrighted from the cot tage; the prisoner pursued them; struck the deceased with the shovel two or three times on the back of the head, and he be. Hewed site died almost instantly. It was beyond all doubt that the prisoner inflicted the blows which occasioned the death of the deceased; and the important question which t h e Jury. would have to try was, whether the prisoner was in a sound state of mind when he inflicted them. If they s hould 'oehev e that he was only in a temporary state of insanity, occa sioned lit excessive drinking, it was to be remembered that the Bat; law, wise as it was merciful, did not exempt a man ueikr circumstances from responsibility for his acts. It had been u,e; served with admirable precision by one of the most' em inent Judges that ever adorned the English Bench (he entitled to Lord Hale), that most persons who ware felons themselves, ( s t others, laboured under a partial degree of insanity a t the apes they committed those offence-a, as it was hard to divide the i t' ll : visible line that separated perfect and imperfect sanitk snd circumstances of each case, therefore, must beduly weir ue" considered by Judges and Juries, lest on the one hand we Cm' mit a kind of inhumanity towards the deficiencies of harITI nature, or, on the other, give too much encouragemen t to hPe, commission of great crimes. lie (Mr. C. doubted nct• FY I ! the Jury would ably a nd i m p ar ti a lly administer the beautautt law in which mercy a nd t ru th were bl en d e d together; and while on the one hand they firmly discharged their duty to ti public, they would extend to the prisoner the benefit of eel reasonable doubts which might operate in his favour. The facts stated were proved by witnesses. Several medial gentlemen gave an opinion that the prisoner was insane; a f ll l ,, the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge, alter a the minutes minutes consultation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, ground of insanity. The prisoner will of course be c' . for the remainder of his life. DURHAM, Til trlllSiillY, At n. 19. [Before.
