Thistlewood said he bad finished the sentence ; and continued to invaigh against the partial mode in which his own trial had b ee n con d uc ted, an d to express his sorrow that the people of Albion still groaned in slavery under the iron hand of despots : he considered himself murdered by the verdict which had been pronounced against him. Wittiam Davidson was then called, and address ed by the officer in the same fortis of words. This prisoner had no written speech, but addressed the Court with great earnestness of voice and man ner, and occasional violence of gesture and ac tion, for several minutes. The general character of his declamation was similar to that of Thistle wood. He asserted that no proof had been of fered that he had been acquainted with the design of assassinating the Ministers—repeated the charges against some of the witnesses, and declar ed that he had been entrapped into the plot; 14e. could die but once, and should meet . death fear. lessly. The thought of leaving a large family of small children was the only thing which unman ned him. Tl.is prisoner martin steel the 'woos' degree of firmness, or rut '.cr reckless jntrt pidit dugs was he next called upon. lie was dressed hi a butcher's jacket, and appeared as composed as al the time of Isis trial. He declared he should not have been in his present situation- but for Ed wards, who betrayed him into it. He had no fears of death ; but only desired that Edwards s:iould die with him. He was ready to acknow ledge that the plot for the assassination of Minis• ters was disgraceful to human nature; but those Mi nisters met and conspired to pass laws which in his opinion was much blacker than assassination. Hr was a bad orator, and would trouble their Lord ships no longer than to declare, that he would rather die like a man than lice Lice a slave. Brunt was then called on, and addressed the Court at considerable length. His conduct and manner displayed all that determined spirit of rero city which has characterized him through the whole of his proceedings. He complained of having been dehied the use of pen, ink, and pa per, in order to compof.e sotnet):ng in his juititi cation. lie declared cost a ppe(' him, an.. ,vished to do so was proceeding itr loading him with abusive epi thets and heinous charges, when The Cum? JusTice pronounced that he could not suffer 11): character of a person examined as. a witness to be taken away in that manner with out any object ; it there was ai",v impeachment of his character, it should have been mentioned, on the trial. The prisoner afterwards threw out aspersions on Lord Castlereagh and Lord Sidmouth,.and asked if conspiracy to take away the lives or such men could be high treason He then endeavonred to ustify the design of the conspirators; but insisted that the only high treason of which he had been guilty was resisting some police-officers. rio asserted that none of the witnesses had sworn the truth, except Capt. Fitzclarence (who was sitting in the Sheriff's box.) . James Wilson, John Harrison, Richard, Bradburn, John Shaw Strange, and Charles Cooper, each ad dressed a few words, the tendency Of which was to impugn the evidence of the witnesses for the Crown. Gilchrist (a wretched looking man), who seemed to sink under the horrors of his situation, declared that he had met Adams, for the first time, at four o'clock of the dry when the Conspirators wereap prenended—that in going into the loft he was wholly ignorant of rue purpose tor which they had assembled—that lie wished to retire, but was prevented on pain of -his life ; and that on tlir first appearance of an officer be surrendered him sell.—" I have served my King and my country," cried the prisoner, " twelve years, and, Oh, Gml this is my recompense." The LORD UHIEF JUSTICE then pathetically addresqed the Prisoners (see yesterday's SUN.) giant) afterwards passed the awful sentence of Death upon them. The Prisoners were then withdrawn from the Bar.—lt is rumoured - that they will be executed on Tower Hill. THE STATE PRISONERS. [further Particulars respecting these Conspirators.] ‘Vhen M. SHELTON, the Clerk of the Arraigns, aodressed Thistlewood, after the sentence had been passed, and asked him what he had to say against it, Thistlewood immediately stood forward with se vet al sheets of paper, closely written, in his hand, 'and which were evidently prepared for the (nets. simi by some other person.—From this manu script he read an address to the Court. He said, that ne had been asked what he had to say why judgment of death should not be passed upon him. To this he would answer, that if he had been prepared with evidence, however pure, and that that evidence ha 4 been enforced by the elo (pence of a Cicero, he was still satisfied that he could not escape the vengeance of Lords Sid mouth and Castlereagh. He entertained no hopes front the sense of justice which existed in that Court. The prisoner then continued to inveigh in strong terms against the man ner in which his trial had been conducted. He said, that he bad been precluded from exa mining witnesses to prove the infamy of Adams, of Hyden, and of Dwyer, who had been called on the part of the Crown. He had applied to have those witnesses called into Court before the Solicitor-General rose to make his reply ; but the Court inhumanly refused his request ; this, be contended, was inconsistent with that spirit of • British justice, which on all other occasions, ex cept the present, be had no doubt would have pre vailed. He challenged the Learned Judges on the Bench to say, whether he had been fairly tried ; and if not, whether, if execution should take place, he were not cruelly murdered. He could have called witnesses to prove that Dwyer had been guilty of the most atrocious offences. — He could have proved that Adams was a swind ler and the blackest of characters ; and of Hyden, he could have produced persons who would have spoken in terms of equal reprobation. These were the only persons by whom the charge against him had been supported ; and upon their testimony alone was he sacrificed to the ven geance of the Ministers. He denied, notwith standing the manner in which he had been plundered by Lord Sidmouth, that in what be had done he had been actuated by any personal motives towards him. He disclaimed every selfish feeling— be was actuated only by a desire for the prosperity of his country. His object was to avenge the death of those unhappy : people who bad been inhumanly cut down and massacred at Manchester; and by sa crificing the lives of •the guilty, as it were chant a requiem over the -souls of murdered innocence. He next proceeded to advert to Itdwards (whose name has been so frignently alluded to in the course of the Trials), and to urge a variety of cir curv.stances, which, in his estimation, placed that indivAual in a more criminal point of view than those who, with • him, stood to receive the judg ment of the law. He afterwards entered into a justification of the crime of assassination, and in stanced the historical fact of BauTos and Cas sius, who had been landed to the skies for the - assassination of C.Essn, as an-extenuation of the project which he had himself entertained. Chief Jostice ABBOTT interposed here, and that he could not listen to any individual ihus MR. CLEMENT. 'Yesterday the Chief Justice Asaorr, after con sulting with his Brother Judges for souse minutes,., said—" No person could reasonably doubt that the publication complained of manifestly tended to obstruct the cause of publicjustice. At the com mencement of these proceedings, the Court had thought right to express its oniuion, in the strongest terms, of the dangerous tendency of their being published until the whole of the trials were concluded. The Editors and Pub lishers of ap the Daily Papers . have yielded a respectful deference to the injunction of the Court, except Mr. Clement, who, led by a desire to gain extraordinary profits by being the first to gratify public curiosity, had done it to the prejudice of all other persons connected with the public press. Mr. Clement had been called upon to answer for this contempt, when any thing he could have urged its his defence would 'have been' heard. He had not appeared, and had geseed self Irons that imprisonment which the Court would certainly have inflicted. But this would not save bins from another species of punishment which the Court thought it its duty to award. The Court approved highly of the conduct of the Editors and Publi!sers of. thrice Newspapers who had so readily and so strictly obeyed its injunction, 'and could not but express its highest diTleasure at the individual who had thus violated it. The Court therefore ordered, that the said W.l. Cle• meat pay a fine at Fire Hundred Pounds to the King." 'the business of the Special Commission being now tertuittated, the Court w l~tssoLyc 1.
