Satvqer was indicted for the wilful murder of Harriet Gaskett at Lisbon, in the kingdom of Portugal, .by shooting her through the head, on the 17th of April, •1814. The prisoner in this case was a - young man in the Commissariat Department of the British army in Portugal, and the circumstances were of a most singular Ilattlre. Mr. ATTORNEY-GNERAL pro secuted in behalf of Govarnment,, and the case, as detailed by several witnesses, was as follows The deceased went out to Portugal in the month of Vebroary 1814, and liverl With.an Offiejr ;in the Same department with the prisoner. The latter Was also a resident at their house at Campo Major, near Lisbon: An' attachment grew up •bctween. the deceased and the prisoner, vellidh was the cause of jealbusy to his brother Officer. On the 17th of April they met at dinner with two or three other Officers. Harriet and the prisoner appeared much dejected, and ate no dinner. The prisoner particularly appeared in a state of great mental dejection. Towards the evening, be and the de ceased walked together in the garden and the report of three-pistols were heard. On going' tito the garden the prisoner and the dereasvd both lying on the ground. Harriet Gaskett wtis quite dead, but the prisoner was not.. He was removed intu the. house, -and soon recovered strength ; ht then cut his throat, but not fatally. The next day his brother Oificers 'net. and re duced into writing the statement of the facts, and it was read to the prisoner, who signed it. - They collected the facts from report in the neighbOur bood, and from what they understood to have passed. They said the prisoner appeared calm -and collected, and understood what was read to hint, except one witness, who said, it appeared to him that the prisoner was wholly itolitierent to life, and he believed would have signed any thing which had been- presented to hint. The written statements were then read, in which the piisoner acknowledged he had a crithinal intercourse with Harriet Gaskett : that she had promised to live with him, but that her former protector d:sco 7 vering this arrangement, lie bad made her pro mise not to live with him, but she added she lvould de- with him.' That baying:made up their minds to-die together, they -went into the garden, when she drank half a bottle of laudanum,. and he took the remainder ; that lie then, at her request, shot her through the head, and discharged two other pistols against his'own ; and that these not succeeding, he afterwards eta his throat.--,This was the substance of the evidence against hint. In his defence, he put in a written paper, in which- he stated, that he was unable to articulate from the wound in his throat, but that all he re membered of the transaction was, that being in great _and extreme agitation of mind, he only re collected being in the garden,. where Harriet bad declared she would kill herself, and desired him to die with her. When lie convalesced' from his wounds, he was told , that he had signed some papers,- but he had no recollection how, or when he had done it. • A great number of Officers, .sonte of Mgt] rank, appeared to the prisoner's character, and sp , die most highly of bin, as a good tempered and hu mane young man. The Learned Judge having recapitulated the evidence, the Jury retired for year two hours, and then returned a verdict of Guilty; but strong ly recommended hin to mercy, a, there was no evidence of malice propcize. The verdict being received, Mr. ALLEY and Mr. CURWOOD, Counsel for the prisoner, moved, in arrest of judgment, that the Court had no joris diction orer the offence, being commi(ted within an independent Kingdom, not subject .to Great Britain,. s and governed by its own lanes and legis lature, which wris - a case to Which the Statute of Hen. VIII. did not extend. Lord ELLENBOROUGH admitted of this. ohjec jecfiou, hut desired them to l oo k at the indict mt,ot, to see it they found any other objection. In looking it through, two othtw objections were urged, that it did not conclude " against the form of the Statute,': and also, "i\' tiS „ 01 averred that the parties were 13.riikIr subjects.". Judgment .was teSpitCd, in order to_harc these points of law argued next 'Petra. The indictment against the soldiers, and 'AT,. Anhinscrn's Butler,- fur tiring WI - the traub, was postponed to this day, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Fithmy, APRIL 7. • FIELSTONE. VOTERS. Lord GRENVILLE moved that the Petitioners for and against thel.lielstone Voters' Bill be beard at-the bar by their counsel and Witnesses, and also that they be required to give in a list of their-witnesses. After a few words from Lord DE DONSTANVILLE, this was agreed to. DETENTION OF SHIPS. The Marquis of LANsno%vxmli , ished, before the Order of the Day was read, that the Noble Lord opposite (Melville), or sonic other of the Prince Regent's Ministers, would give some explanation on a subject nearly Contiected %vith it : he alluded to the alleged detention of French ships by our cruisers. There were two questions which re quircd an answer. First, whether any ships bad been so detained ? Second, whether, if they had been so detained, the detention was authorised by Government Lord Meivrt.LE replied, that the detention had oceuried in only one or t'vo instances; and cer tainly they had not been authorised by the Co vernment.—(l-lear, hear !) REGENT'S MESSAGE AND ADDRESS. The Order of the Day for the consideration of the Prince Regenes'Nessage being read, - The E ar l o f LIVERPOOL rose, tor the purpose o f moving a corr es p on di ng Address to his Roy a l Highness on the subject of his most gracious Message. In doing this, he said lie felt it his duty to offer some observations to the [louse relative to some points connected with thost circum stances, which led to the present momentous si citation of this country and of Europe. fie could, however, assure their Lordships, that he particu larly wished in this instance, us it was his gene ral disposition at all times, to be as sparing of their Lordships' time, as be consistently- could, and more especially on the p.resent i-nportant oc casion, %viten he was more partictdaly anxious that that there should lee as little difference of ppinion as possible.. therefere should abstain most carefully from all topics, which were not materally connected with tire subject before the. Houses With respect to the 'great and eventful changes which have taken place in the course of the last 25 yeart in Europe, in which •it might even be said rhat a moral convulsion hurl taken place in its !ystern'tlirntighout a great part- (if it, it could scarcely be expected that Europe could speedily settle into a state.of regular or permanent withont a- degree of danger of some convulsion °courting that may render it the duty of .every.pradent Garet-11'1116a to guard against,. as-:to its course and consequences. With respect ,then,to the important events which occurred in the beginning of March last, events which, during the•greater part of that long interval, could not have been in contemplation ; the prominent con sideration was the great liberalityy skew n by the .Allied - P o w e r s w i t h respect to the kingdom of France, in the coneinsion of the Treaty which had lii !eri place. This would be the more appa rent, when they contemplated cite great power and resources of that . conntry----its immense po pulation; the Means which it always had at its command - with reft.rence either to future wars or conquests. If a different line of policy had been adopted by the. Allies,. then might some excuse have existed ; some 'palliation lac the conduct -of that eosin:ll might exist; but the policy of the Allies was a wise and becoming one ; • it was deemed, upon the whole, and finder all the eireninstinte'es, 1).111 expedient -and adviscalik, tlilt as far as - cii . o:lll3tances alolvcd, tat: peace should be made hoUnuraid e to France. as well as to the other belligerent Powers. Every thing was csoucedetr which tni;.;ltt 11;.: satkiactorV to the ho nour and to the 'feelings of the loyal and good subjects of that Country. Stich was the charac ter of the Treaiy- with respect to France, and more especially with res p ect to that done at Fon tainbleau# of which copies were 110 , i. • upop,tineir t:thhe. Respecting that Treat v, ii great deal of misconeep lon prevailed, and that•consi deration induced him to trouble their Lordships with a few wortkilpo a the subject. O n t h at ' count, the Government of each country was Placed in a situation in which they could have no ithernativo.• They seele anxious to ewer into 'such au arrangement as might lead:_ to a Speedy and satisfactory termination of a most critical nail portaut sta:e of things; aisd 'in justification of their conduct, tine statement of a few proTinent facts may be necessary. On the entry of the allied armies into Perris towards the end of March, ude clarution seas made by Russia and Prussia, that th e y would riot treat VVith the person wlw was then the,Huler of France. In consequence Gf this step, what may be regarded as a species of revo lution in France took pl.tce. What was called the Conservativ e Senate assembled, and deposed tine then Ruler, a Provisional Government was adopted. Under these eLTOinstiltices, the treaty with the per son •ty Ito had tieeil the Ruler of 'France was entered upon, as tint wily chance olayerting a civil war in that conntry,espeeiarty, when tire power and d.iipo sition of alclot.every Marshal in France was well known. BesiJcs at t hae flute tlicre . w:ts a formidable army in Italy, which ill lilt its eirennistanees, num- 1 ' bees and appointinews, vvii superior to the one op posed to it, andr tn doubt of that army proving f.sit2i;el to the late- il , ;oAnsrlititent of 1i raoce. adiition to this, the s;tnat ion in whim. 4 tl,uverrigits acre placed, in fcspeet to nearly all the fortified places in France, Holland, and on the Rhine, being all inC tilted to side with', Or SOp port tine auth o rity of the Chief of Hie army. Under all these circumstance s . of which thelr I.l) rdshii'ss would 4pprevice the importance, the Sove relg;is were induced io accede to an a:range:tient, winch went to terminate hos! lin ies,. and .save . any fin then' elfasion of blood in Mance '; and tinder that arraneeme t, :he isle of Elba was referred in Sure- reignty to Buonaparte. The claim was made by him, by one backed by anch.a powerful military support - , -and under circumstances wh;cli gave him in some degree an option upon the question, and he had chosen that arrangement, to which upon every principle of honour and good faith among men, he was boundao adhere. Ile did not mean to say but what the Isle:of Elba was a peculiarly improper place, not particularly with a view to any facilities it might afford with respect to France, but in other points of view, and parti cttlarly its contiguity to Italy. But under,such an arrangement as had beedframed, he defied any man to state for a moment, that if it was not to be considered as a prison, if the consequences of the arrangement were not to be loss of persOnal liberty, any spot from which he could not 'have escaped. And with respect ,to. any means of guarding against his escape front an isle so si tuated and circumstanced as Elba, be believ ed there was no person acquainted with the Mediterranean, that would not say the whole fleet of England could not blockade that island so as to have prevented his egress at some time wi , re he in the determined diSposition to escape: All be could say on that point was, that as far as 'vas consistent with the spirit of the Treaty, an under standing prevailed between his Noble Friend and the Officer on that station to take all fair and prac• ticable measures to prevent that which had since - unfortunately occurred. Another consideration' connected with this part of the subject, was the resistance which any person so circumstanced could have opposed to an attemp t O f t h e ki nd made by one w h o had the sovereignty, the mili tary power, and the police of the islaatl, at his disposal and command. Two individuals, whom he had- suspected of an inclination to resist his ittempt, these he had pot under restraint, as _ to could have done any other person, who is such a way should attempt to oppose him; and under such circumstances he would leave their Lordships to judge how far an • escape could be gua'rded against. With respect to a sup posed breach of the Treaty on the part of the Ala lies, he must deny that any such thing existed.--, Their Lords - hips would see by the Treaty that an annual payment of 'a certain revenue was to be made to . hitw; and until the .expiration ;of the year, no breach of treaty could be complained of. Besides, with a .view to redress, it any were • needed, he 'should have called upon the Allied rowers, who were parties to it, for the fulfilmeat of the stipulations, and then not until redress wits - withheld, could he be justified in any contraven tion on .his part ; but theproclantations published by himself on landing in France, were the best answers. lie Rom plained of no breach, but -de clared almost in trans, that when he had made that Ti•eatv, he intended to break it upon the first opportunity. By that Treaty, he itad ab solut eiv renounced the Throne of France, both • for himself and his descendants ; tlicrefore" his landing in France to take a forcible mili tary possession of that Tilt one, Was a direct ' violation of, that Treaty, and all, its engage ments and conditions, lie was not - recalled by the nation, or any part of it, which. moy have furnished some shadow of - pretence ; but he acted in defiance of thetreaty, and of ail the legitimate and recognized authorities of the comitry; aral.the whole was a resumption of the throne by military power. It could not. be necessary-'therefore, to insist that the conditions had been violated, and tharthe country, consequently, had a just cause of war against him. who held the goverament of Fran ce at this moment. But thoagit the ju-stica of the cause of w,ir may be established, he ad mitted that it was another and a most important consideratio n , , what was the co urse w hi c h i t would b e wise, prudent, 0r politic, under the present circumstances, for the country to adopt. It was impossible to conceal the clan gers which merntced the country from the pie= sent state of things,• or , those. which menaced Europe in general, When the conduct of the Ruler Of France for the laSt fifteen years was con- • sidercd, his uppriticipled and a:justifiable invaa Sion of , almcst every country it, Europe within that period. The nature of the recent . events ren dered the case more eritica , l and I ' lloinentous. His comi.,g under the protection of the military power, and one of his first prolessionS being that he would" redeem the - taruished glory of the Freo arms.• Upon the whole, tbe eouotry was now placed in a state in which only these two alterna tives presented themselves —either a state of ann e d prep:ll'36on for defeifee, or a state of active (Hear!) lie did lipt retiest their Lordships #.° decide upon the latter at present ; he me stated it as the alterative : be pre.sed t r r. ~ely, o . cision up on t h at , b ecause the question • 0 <!r- volved in mauy circumstances they eottir! . t.as ' isi have before them—,(l-icar,.h ear !) ." not tlic`u • of war 'was not only a B r i t i s h , ne question an ,auropean gnestion—(l - lear, hear !)
