The people and the King should be alike faithful to this contract. :The General-in-Chief, being well assured of being sup ported by his patriotic fellow-citizens, as well as his brethrint iti arms, all hi dares to call his friends, and bbutati by one common tie of devotion to those principles at liberty and public order, which he will never abandon, if even alone, counts this day, as he has always done, upon their co-operation for the strict and loyal execution of all their dutiet, (Signed) LAFAYETTE.

M. Willmar had drawn up a list of proscriptions against 76 persons, who were inter dieted an entrance into the town. Several of these per sons now circulate freely in Luxembourg. (From the lifesiager des Chambres, Dec. 20.) BAYONNE, Dxc. 13.—Letters from Madrid, which we hate received by express; speak of a circular note of the 'greatest importance which the Government of his Catho lic Majesty is said to have addressed to the several Courts 'Of Europe, in which, replying to the applications of some Cabinets, .and in order to refute the calumnies ad vancede ,in sever a l journals, M. Gonzales Salmon, Mini ster of Foreign Affairs, declares, in his master's name, ."that he is firmly resolved.to maintain the friendly rela tions esisting with France, according to time principle of non-intervention, and not to take any part whatever in the quarrels which the high Powers, in the names of treaties, may think fit to raise in future. The Minister adds, that the troops sent towards the Pyrenees have no other object than to prevent a coup de main of the Spsui.h emigrants against whom this Government was necessarily obliged to be upon the defensive, since it is well known that they are organizing at Paris a central committee to devise means to make new attempts." • This step, which is supposed to have been advised by the new British Ministry, must confirm mere than any thing that has pasted the pacific intentions of the Court of . Madrid. Manain, Dec. 6....-Amidst the great events which 'Onto the world, the English Cabinet, faithful to its prin ciples, always think of the future, has just sent, it is said, ti note to our Government, in concert with France, with a view to induce Ferdinand to acknowledge the new States in America, in order to put an end to the unhappy situa tion of those countries, which affects at the tame time the commerce and manufactures of Europe. It should seem that the plan which is advised, in preference, would 6 to send one of the King's brothers to Mexico, and Eng land would take upon itself to negotiate—to divide the AIR 0 114 Cones among all .the American State., who Would become by right independent. Spain would stipu late a treaty of commerce entirely to its own advantage, 'id 'this would enable it to become once more powerful. It seems that the King has net disdained this advice as hitherto, but that it is to be discussed by a Commission ap- Pointed on purpose. If this is true, the commerce of the whole world will owe eternal gratitude to the administra tion of Grey and Lafitte, for having taken the initivive in an affair, the consequences of which to the interests of every body, especially of the holders of the Cortex loan, .are incalculable. . Priiiielli;iiussia, our Government is exerting all the activity of which it is capable, in arming the newly-raised hr "po. Yesterday orders on the subject were sent to all the provinces. All officers absent on leave are ordered to Jon their corps. The troops are in motion, and continue to Proceed towards the frontiers of France No mystery is made of the hopes excited by the hostile dispositions of the Powers of the north. The Madrid Gazette lately intimated this in an article on the occasion °f the retreat of the Constitutionalists who had shewn themselves in Catalonis. The news of the march of the French troops towards the Pyrenees has been known bete for some days ;7 nevertheless, the Government &Ppm not to regard this movement.

In the course of the day it was every where daubed over, or torn down. One in dividual was arrested for crying " Mort aux Ministres I This took place late in the evening, when it would ap pear that very serious apprehensions of disturbances were entertained at head-quarters. The following is an extract of a note which I received last night from a friend, who was to have called on me, apologizing for his breach of appointment : " I am ordered out suddenly with the entire of my battalion (the 10th of the Garde Nationale), to patrole the neighbourliond of the prison. It will, I fear, be a hot night. It is true that as attempt has been made to fire the Luxembourg." Up to this moment, eleven o'clock, I am ignorant of any actual outrage having been attempted, but the order of the day, issued yesterday evening, by General La Fayette, esta blishes the fact that something of importance must have been communicated to Government. The 13ourse was agitated throughout the day, as you will perceive by the enclosed liste. Various reports were in circulation. One of them (which I believe), that the acquittal of the Ministers was certain ; but it added that the danger of their Judges, who should concur in acquitting them, was deemed so imminent, that 300 post-horses were kept constantly harnessed, to enable the obnoxious Peers to leave town at a moment's notice. Another report stated that yesterday there remained 20 Peers determined to vote for the death of at least one of the prisoners ; to-day the number is said to be reduced to 17. Another, which ob tained general belief, (I trust without foundation), was that one-twelfth only of the Garde Nationale would de vote themselves to the defence of the laws, by resisting popular fury, if directed against the prisoners. I shall now add an opinion in which all Paris concurs— that the Carlisle are doing all in their power to stimulate popular excitement, and that tiley may possibly attempt to take advantage of the tumult to effect a counter-revolu tion. Five o'clock.—To the foregoing I must add that the National Guards of the _flannel; have received orders to come to Park I saw several of them wive by carts, caravans; coaches, &c. I have reason to believe that to-morrow the entire of the Nationtl . Guards of Paris and the environs will be under arms and, on duty. ?MOSS Or STOOKS THIS Bank a toek . lO5 3 per Cott. lied. 60% 1!A 80N 3 per Cent.

A Privy Council was held this morning. The Lords present were the MASTER of the Rou.s, Sir CtinsTornEß ROBINSON, and the Right lion. PAULETT THOMPSON. Their Lordships were occu pied in hearing appeals remitted from Canada. Despatches Isere received at the Foreign Office dna morning from America and France. The Debates in either House of Parliament, last night, were of no particular moment. In the Upper House Lord WYNFORD brought in a Bill for the prevention of frauds by debtors, whether in prison or absconding; and in the Lower House a smart but brief and desultory discussion, took place on Mr! Humes presentation of the late Middlesex Petition for Reform, is the course of which Sir G. WAR. RENDER observed, with a happy ignorance of the subject, that the majority of the respectable and it:- tluential inhabi►ants of Edinburgh were opposed to Reform. If.the Hon. Baronet will condescend to read the different Journals of that city, he will find how egregiously he has been mistaken in his state ment. Brussels Papers have been received, and state that 14,000 inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have sent declarations protesting against the pretensions of King WILLIAM to separate Luxembourg from Belgium. They express their resolution to be constantly united to it : NATIONAL CONGRESS. Baussxr.s, Dec. 17.—Fourteen thousand inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg send declarations, protesting against the pretensions of King William to separate Luxemburg from Belgium. They express their resolution to be constantly united to it. The President announced that be had received a letter from the Archbishop of Malines. In this letter, which is very long, the Archbishop endeavour; to impress upon the Congress the necessity of guaranteeing full and entire liberty to the Catholic religion. He says—" The essen tial and vital condition, without which the liberty of the . Catholic worship would be but illusory, is, that it be perfectly free and independent in its regime, apd particUlarly in the nomination and installation of its Ministers, as well as in its correspondence with the Holy See. Nothing is more just ; for it is absurd to say that any society is free, if it cannot govern heel( at its own pleasure, and choose freely those who are to direct it ; and what more, since slavery can be imposed on a religion, than to constrain it to have at its head only persons agreeable to those who may be its most gruel enemies ? . The debate in the Senate was continued. As the articles of the project of the Committee were proposed, various amendments were brought forward and discussed, after which the following articles were agreed upon :- 4, Art. I. The Members of the Senate are elected by the Electoral Colleges, which chuse the other Chamber. " 11. The Senate shall consist of half as many Members as the other Chamber. " 111. The Senators shall be elected for double the time that", the Members of the other Chambers are chosen. The Chief of the State may dissolve the Senate. "4 IV. Fixes the qualification required to be a Senator. The debate was adjourned to the 11th in the morning. The Journal de la Belgique, under the head of Brussels, Dec. 18, adds the folloWing : " P.S.—The whole of the regulations agreed upon re specting the Senate were rejected, this morning, by 112 votes to 06." Bit ussets, DEC. 18,—Persons entirely worthy of con fidence, who were yesterday at St. Nicholas, relate that at two in the afternoon, a brisk cannonade was heard there in the direction of Flushing, and the mouth of the Scheldt. Several persons went out of the town to convince themselves of the reality of this re port. It is said, that the King of Holland has accepted the armistice, nothing remains therefore but to exchange the ratifications. The Belgium Government and the King of Holland will each appoint two Commissioners, who with two Commissioners of the five Powers will repair to the spot, to fix the line, behind which the troops of both parties re spectively are to retire. ANTWICKP, Dxc. 6.—The time is at hand when Hol land must revolve to leave us at liberty, to evacuate our citadel, and withdraw its men of war. The winter and its ice will do what our men of holiness will not have the gloty of accomplishing. We have received we lancholy accounts from Leie, enemies of the country are labouring in the dark to induce the workmen in the mines to associate, threatening them with a reduction of their wages, which the owners of the mines cannot se riously contemplate. ALITAkIDRIA, OCT. 2.—The second division of the troops intended for Candia has not yet sailed, but all is ready to be embarked as soon as the ships that conveyed the first division return. Mahomed Ali has ordered a new levy, to replace the troops that he sends to Candia. This deprive, the country of more hands, which is indeed al most depopulated by the numerous levies of late years, and discontent and distress are extreme. Agriculture suffers greatly, and the crops decrease yearly. However, the Paella continues 11:s naval armaments without interrup tion. Orders have lately been given for building sixteen new ships. No one can guess what induces him to in crease his expenses while his revenue is diminished. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 10.—M. de Ribeaupicre, the Russian Ambassador, had his final audience of the Sultan on the 31st October, and sailed on the 9th inst. on board a Russian frigate, for the Mores, whence he will go to Malta and Naples.

A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of India Stock was held at the India House this morning, for the purpose of declaring a dividend on the Company's stock for the current half year. . . _ Mr. ASTZLI, the Chairman of the Company, presided The minutes of the last Court having been read, . . The CIIAIRMAN stated, that the accounts of stock for computation ought to have been laid before the meeting, but they had not yet arrived. He said an accouut was now on the table of the cost of the East India volonteere. The cost last year was 9601 less than in the previous year. Next year the expences would be greater as the corps had to he new clothed. He said that the Court of Directors had yesterday agreed to a dividend of 5 per cent. The queetion was put, and the dividend agreed to, TUE EAST INDIA MONOPOLY. Mr. Rum- had to make a few observations which were of considerable interest to the weal of this Company. Pe titions were laid before Parliament from merchants bankers, agriculturists, and others, against the monopoly of this Company. In these times of distress,. it was important that the public should have the full benefit of any reform that could be effected in the Company. The public have evinced its sense by the sine cures, &c., in the Civil List, a feeling prevailed that the Directors of this Company should Reform. He would therefore move, that this Court shall produce, for the in formation of the public, an account of all Grants, Salaries, and Places of every species, Which shall have been granted by this Company. General Titcritixox seconded the motion; but from what he had learnt it would he found that the Directors would be found to have acted most fairly. With respect to the monopoly, he was against it, but thought, if the China trade was not preserved to the Company, it would not be of much use to go on. He felt confident that the returns would show that the Directors had acted properly in their grants. Mr. RIGBY explained. The CHAIRMAN said, the motion was a repetition of one proposed last meeting. So far from any indisposition of giving publicity to their accounts, the returns were al ready on the table. He thought the object the Hon. Pro prietor had in view was, to show that the Company had acted fairly. Parliament had refused papers, and a Com mittee had been sitting on the subject of the China trade. The Committee was to be re-appointed, and the result would be laid before the Court. After a few words from Mr. TWINING and others, Mr. RIGBY said the document he called for was impor tant, and ought to be made, in order that the character of the Company might be preserved. The public were look ing with a jealous eye towards monopolies. Mr. 1 3 .arrinsALL hoped the Directors, for the sake of the Company, would agree to the motion. If it were re jected, the public would look with doubt upon the Com pany, especially in the present excited state of the country and the outcry against monopolies. The CHAIRMAN said, GO(' knew the Directors were anxious for the concerns of the Company to be made public. The motion now made would not give full information. Mr. WIGRADI (a Director) said the motion should he more specific, and hoped it would be withdrawn. . Mr. Racsv said he should persevere. The return should be made to do away with • false impressions, the public voice was already too much against great Corporations in the different parts of the kingdom. The CIIAIRMAN assured the Court that the Directors were anxious and willing to give the Proprietors and public full information. If the motion was withdrawn, he would moist the Hon. Proprietor in framing a motion that would give full information,—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RIGBY then withdrew his motion, and gave notice that ost next Court-day he should again bring the matter forward.—The Cuurt then adjourned. ---------- MR. O'CONNELL'S RETURN TO DUBLIN (From the Correspondent of a Morning Paper.) • DUBLIN, DEC. 20.—Yesterday evening Mr. O'Con nell made a public entry into this city, on his return from England. From an early hour in the morning the different trades in the city had collected along the line of road from Howth to Dublin, each bearing banners of orange and green colours, on which were inscribed a variety of mottoes, amongst which were-- " Repeal of the Union, but no separation," " Uition is strength," " William the Fourth, and long life to him," " Civil and Religious Liberty," " Ireland bails with delight her darling son," " Liberty of the Press," " The King and Constitution," &c. The walls also were placarded with bills, on which were printed, in large characters--" Repeal the Union," " Emancipate the Jews," " Abolish Slavery," " Ireland as she ought to be." There could not have been less than 50,000 persons collected. Each trade was regularly marshalled, and marched in line, to the airs of " Patrick's Day," " Garryowen," &c. The houses in the different streets through which the procession passed were il luminated. On arriving at his house, in Merrion square, Mr. O'Connell addressed the multitude assem bled from the balcony. He said—" The people of Eng. land are, like you, beginning to think for themselves; they have cried out for a Reform in Parliament, and a Reform in Parliament they must have. They are determined that the system of perjury, bribery, and corruption hitherto pursued, shall be put an end to.— (Cheers.) We have got rid of the Wellington Mi. nistry, and • have now got a new one. Sure, they wanted me to join them ; but I would not. Some of the underlings came to me, and asked me what would sa tisfy me ?. I had my answer ready for them ; but was an Irishman's answer. I asked them what it was they proposed to do for Ireland ? They said, " Oh, confide in the present Ministry—they are you friends, and in time they will see what can be done." I never like 4 the future tense, I always preferred the pre sent, and so, as they refused to do any thing for my country, I refused to give them my support."—. (Cheers. ) Mr. O'Connell continued for some time to address the people. He con.luded by promising them, that as soon as the sun shone out upon the morrow, the Union should be repealed. " I wear," said he, " about my neck, the medal of the Order of Liberators, which was once suspended by a green riband. It is now attached to a riband of orange and green. Orange that colour that I freely confess was once hateful to me, but which I now press to my heart. They want upon this question to separate the Protestants and Catholics. They shall not do so ; and, in the face of my God, pledge my existence to my countrymen that, if they take my advice, they must—they shall have their Parliament." The immense multitude then dispersed. There were sonic windows broken in the course of the night of houses that slid not illuminate. I did not hear of any accident having occurred. The five Powers have at length resolved to acknowledge the independence of Belgium, on the condition that no member of the present French King's family shall be KING of that country.—Atorniou Chronicle. It is said that the objects of Mr. ST. JOHN Lotra's visit to Paris are political, and not personal.

Letters from Berlin, of the 14th Dec., state th tt the order for assembling a Prussian army on the frontiers of Poland is confirmed to be under the command of General Greisenan. They write from Navarin, of the I I th Nov., that several euepeted vessels have appeared in the Archipelago, and that some merchant vessels have been plundered and their crews massacred. Accounts from Bruggels mention that three 111 ,, mbers of the Congress are going to Pat is to make some commercial and political arrangements for Belgium, and the Journal of commerce of Antwerp says that General Chasse has left that city for Holland. An extraordinary diet is to be convoked at Berne to re gulate the affairs of the Swiss Confederation. A circular, dated 7th December, has appeared, which stiles the three objects which are to occupy the Diet. First, to re-esta blish order in the Cantons in a state of trouble; second, to take measures to protect the friendly relations between the Cantons; third, the urgent necessity to take a revect able attitude, and preserve the Swiss neutrality from being violated. The following is in the Courier de l'Ain :—" A letter from Port de Beauvoisier states that the Piedmontese army consists of 60,000 men, and were disposed to join the French. The fort of Barraud is being armed. Ar rests continue to take place in Savoy, and the frontiers are lined with troops." THE FUNDS. By the Express this morning from Paris it appears that a great fermentation prevails in the above capital, in con sequence of the acquittal of the ex-Ministers, but the well- informed here are of opinion, that should that event take place, it will not affect the tranquillity of the capital to any serious extent, as the Government have been preparing for some time past to meet that eventful day. Paris is at the present moment in a state of siege ; mili tary are placed in every direction, particularly at the points where they expect an attack from the enemy, and no doubt is entertained that they will he repulsed.

There has not been a single foreign arrival to day (Tuesday), and we arc consequently, without news in the City. With regard to domestic affairs, there is a rumour, which nobody believes, that Sir Ronzar PEEL is about to succeed Lord Atanroar as Chancellor of the Itx.. chequer. In the speech which Sir RonenT delivered last ' night in the House of Commons he is reported as having considered the fall in the French Funds as one of the great evils that have arisen out of the French Revolution. For our part, we do not consider this any evil with regard to the nation at large ; but, if it be, we can only say that we should most certainly be afflicted with a similar one if Lord Manonr—decidedly one of the most popular men. In England—should he obliged to give place to Sir ROBEKT PZE -I ..—Aforning Herald. SPECIAL COMMISSION. WINCHESTER, TUESDAY, DEC. 21. The business of the Commission was resumed this morn ing. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN and Mr. Justice ALDICRSON presided in the Court, where all die Judges sat yesterday. The Duke of Wellington took his scat on the bench at the same time with the Judges. • James Thomas Cooper, agtd 33 ; john fulford, 50; Charles Reid, 34 ; Aaron Deadman, 22 ; J. Phil pot, aged 22 ; George Philpnt, aged 16 ; C. Shepherd, 35; John Kircher, 35 ; and William Newman, 22, were put to the bar, charged with having, on the 23t1 of November, at Fordingbridge, in this county, riotously and tumultuously assembled, and feloniously destroyed certain machinery, the property of William Shepherd. There were other counts fur beginning to demolish and destroy, and also counts for beginning to destroy the building. They all pleaded Not Guilty. It will be recollected that the three first prisoners were capitally convicted yesterd4y ; the two last prisoners on this list were tried yesterday, but were acquitted. The appearance of Cooper to-day was much less firm and confident than yesterday, but he was still quite cool and collected. The conduct of the other prisoners was mild and at'entive to what was going on. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL observed, that it would ap peer that this violent mob seemed to have been assembled for the purpose of destroying machinery wherever they could find it. After pointing out the ruinous effects of this determination to rich proprietors as well as to poor workmen, the Learned Gentleman called the attention of the jury to the evidence which would be offered as to the guilt of one of the prisoners (James Thomas Cooper), who it would be proved, did not belong to this county, but who, when he came into it, was found, either by his own appointment, or the choice of others (it could not he proved which) at the head of a desperate assembly of per sons who seemed associated for the worst of purposes. It would appear that the account which this prisoner gave of himself was untrue. negated that he had come from 20 miles above London, as he termed it, and that those who were with him were men of Kent, the most desperate that were out. This man no doubt calculated to excite many unthinking persons to join him, and to induce the evil-die petted to act with greater confidence under his orders. As to this man, he thought there could not lie a doubt that he had taken a most active part in the direction of those violent outrages. With respect to the other prisoners, evidence would be offered to show the part each of them took. On the subject of the number committed, he must observe that such was the great press of business on very many of the magistrates, and such the state of excitement in the coun try, that commitments were made out for several, on the fact of their having been found with the mob. It would be for the jury to say, how far the evidence would be suffi cient to prove a guilty participation in the proceedings of those riotous mobs. A selection for prosecution had been made of those who were considered most guilty. After evidence had he en adduced, the Jury found James Thomas Cooper, A. lleadmin, George Philpot, Charles Read, and William Newman, Guilty ; and Kim her, Fulford, John Philpot, and Charles Shepherd, Not Guilty. CharlesShtpherd (who bad been just acquitted on the last trial), Geo. Webb, John Weeks, John Newman, John Slade, and Henry Eldridge, who was convicted yesterday, were indicted for feloniously and by threats, demanding money from Eyre Coote, Esq., of Westpark house, in this county, with intent to steal it. There were other counts in the indictment, for demanding it by force, and also for an assault, with intent to rob, on the night of the 23d of November. The ATTORNEY.GENERAL stated the case. James Woodrow, gainekeeper to Mr. Coete, on the night in question was in the village of Rockburn. There were iron gates to the lodge. He bad seen a fire in or near the village before he came down, and on his way down he heard a violent noise like that of hammering at the gates. When he came down they were broken. He heard several persons coining in, and he and those with him hid under the wall of the lodge. He heard several voices say, "We will go up to Westpark." One of the persons (of those who had come up from the village) cried out, " Will, come oe." Witness went up and told Mr. Coote what had happened, and Mr. Coote and his servants, to the number of about ten, ranged themselves is line under the portico. We heard the mob coming very close to the por tico; they seemed to be a body of 40 or more. They were hallooing and shouting,and one of them said, "Keep up your irons." Could not say whether it was 'Token by one or more, but it was loud enough for all those present to hear at the time. I saw, directly after (continued the witness), the body of men coining up to the portico. One of them appeared to ate to take the lead,..and advanced before the rest. It appeared to me that he was about to catch or strike at some person in the portico. I jumped on him, and seized him. That man is the prisoner, Charles Shep herd. I could not say whether he had any thing in his hand. There was then a scuffle between them and Mr. Coote's party. Nine of the snob were takes, arid laid down on the ground, for we were afraid that others would come up. The prisoner, John Slade, was one of those taken. I remember him, for he said to me, when on the ground, " 1 8611 mind you." I understood by that he meant to do me some harm. I cannot speak with certainty to any other of the prisoners. Other evidence was brought forward, after which Mr. Baron VAUGHAN stated the chief points, and the Jury found all the prisoners guilty. They were immediately called up for judgment (with the exception of Henry Eldridge, already convicted of a capital felony), and his Lordship sentenced the five pri soners to transportation for life. The prisoners heard th e sen t ence i n su l len s i lence. _ . Jolrn .Kinaber (who was tried end acquitted yesterday) was put to the bar, charged with extorting the sum of 2s. 6d. from Jane Perry, her property. The prisoner was acquitted._ John .Kimber wits again put to the bar along with J. T. Cooper, T. Fa!ford, J. Phi!pots, C. Read, and Al. Deadman, charged with extorting, by threats and vio lence, the sum of 1/. 31. 6d. front Thomas Hicks, on the 23d of November. This case arose also out of the Fordingbridge riots. The prisoners came along with the mob that destroyed Mr. Shepherd's machinery. The prisoner Cooper came up to witness, and said we must have the money. Witness asked how much, and he said two sovereigns, but three will be better. Witness said, if they must have it they must, and he counted out the auto named. lie gave it because he was in bodily fear. The other prisoners took no part in the transaction. The Jury found Cooper guilty, and acquitted the others. William Webb and William Arney (who were tried and acquitted yesterday ) , were put to the bar charged with breaking and destroying a thrashinpmechine, the pro. perty of Joaiah Gerard..—Guilty. Mr. Baron VAVORA)e said the sentence of the Court was, that each Of 'the prisonere should be transported for the term of seven years. The prisoner Webb was then given in charge, on two successive indictments for robbery, on neither of which the Crown offered any evidence, and ou these he was acquitted. liimber (who had been acquitted before, on the ground then stated, and against whom a fresh bill of in dictment bad been sent up to the Jury and found, for est.. torting by threats, money, the property of 'John Perry).._ was again put to the bar. Jane Perry proved that the prisoner and another man, clme to her husband's house at twelve at night on the 23(1 of November, and said if she did not give them money th e y would bring 500 men in. She gave them half-a-crown. She was afraid, for her husband WAS from home. Prisoner said he was innocent, but the Jury found him There was another indictment, fur a similar offence, against'him. Prisoner is a labouring man, 80 years old. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKE rat this morning in the Nisi Prius Court. He took his seat on the bench at nine o'clock, but in consequence of the absence of several wit invitees necessary to substantiate the various indictments, he was not able to proceed to business until 25 minutes after ten o'clock. joseph Mason, aged 81 ; Robert Mason, aged 24 Thomas Berriman, aged 52 ; Joseph Carter, aged 45 James Pearce, aged 40 ; William Wichworth, aged 48 Thomas Baverstoch, aged 19; and haac Hill, the younger, aged g 6 ; were indicted fur having, on the 19th of November last, at the parish of East Stratten, feloni ously made an assault on one Francis Callender, and put him in bodily fear, and feloniously stolen from his person ten pieces of current gold coin of this realm, called sore. reigns, the ninnies of the said Francis Calendar. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Francis Callender—l am steward to Sir T. Daring, and live at East Stratton, which is about a quarter of toile from Sir T. Baring's house. About twelve o'clock in the morning of the 19th of November, 1 remember about 800 or 900 persons cowing to my house. I did not see from what direction they came. I first saw them coming from the road to my house, which is about 8 or I() rods distant from it. I went out to them, and found them breaking a thrashing-machine and a bean-mill. After the machinery was broken, they went to my house. I went 'with them. Whilst I was with them, a demand for 61. was Made on me by Berryman. Carter was standing by him, The rest of the mob were stunting around: I refused in the first instance to give them 61., and', then they demanded 104 t said that I would not give ►t them. Berryman said he would have it. - One of the mob said " We'll smash the windows of the house if we don't get 10/." I then went into the house, go►t ten sovereigns, and put them into Berryman's hands, Ile cried out " Ten pounds, ten pound.," and then the mob gave three cheers, and went away to Emit Stratton. I was at that time afraid that more property would be de stroyed. I believed they would go to Sir T. Baring's mansion, and therefore gave them the 10/. They had sledge-hammers and pickiasea, and bars of iron end dif ferent kinds of tools in their hands at the time. When I gave them the 101. they promised that they would not go to Sir T. Baring's. They kept their promise, and did not go there. I know the prisoner Winkworth. lie is, a shoemaker, and also a constable, lie came to . Me in the village, told me that he had been at Sir 'l'. liaring'i, and said the housekeeper had promised to give them 5/. if they did not go there. The Jury found a verdict of .Guilty against Thomas Berryman and James Pearce, and acquitted the other pri soners na►ned in the indictment. The Foreman in formed his Lordship that, in returning a verdict of guilty against Berryman, they begged to notice one mitigating circumstance in Ids behalf—namely, that after the money had been received, Sir Thomas Baring's Item harLbeen spared by his influence entirely. With respect to Pearce, the Jury had hid great reluctance in returning a ►erdict of guilty against him. They strongly recommended , him to mercy on account of the excellence of his character. Mr. Justice JAMES PARKA immediately took a memo randum of botk these recommendations. IVilliam lirinhworth, aged 43, Henry Cooke, aged 19, Isaac 11111 the elder, aged 6!, David Champ, aged 21, and John Kcar, aged 29, were indicted for having on the 19th of November last, at the parish of Alitchtl dever, feloniously made an assault on one William Palue, and put him in bodily fear, and having feloniously stolen from his person one piece of gold coin, called a sovereign, the monies of the said William Paine, The prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sedoint *ma concluded the ease for the prose cution. William Paine lived at Boroughfarm, in the' parish of Mitch°)(lever. He recollected that betuien eight and nine o'clock,. a mob of about 10Q.pererit".,,cioy4ng.4edge• hammers, bludgeons, and other offensive,Vre.apou,,caine to his farm. He went out to them, aid asked them luflat they wanted. They said that they wanted .an advances of wages to 2e. a day, and to break hie tnitchiqery. Ife:told them that with regard to wages he was ready .to de.what other farmers in the neighbourhood would, but beggeel them not to break his threshing-machine, .as he had never used it to the disadvantage of any man's labour. Under the idea that they would leave his property un molested, he gave them some beer, and promised to give his labourers 21. a-day, which he did not think unreason able. When the men who were engaged in, breaking. the machinery returned and saw their companions drinking beer, they said they must have grub. He was afraid that they would have broken into his house. He told thew that this was a bad beginning of work. One of the mob said, " The end was not come yet, that would end in blood." The prisoner Winkworth said yes, it would be worse yet. The prisoner Isaac Hill then called him aside, and said, " Master, will you take a fool's advice--give them some money to get rid of them." He bad known Hill before, and he thought that Hill spoke to him with a friendly ceding. He gave Hill ft sovereign to let rid of them. The Jury acquitted all the prisoners. The COURT, which was occupied all day with thews two trials, rose at seven o'clock, and adjourned to half past sight o'clock en Wednesday morning. HOME CIRCUIT.—LEWES, MownAY. The Judges came into this town, on Saturday, and im mediately opened the commission. On Monday, at tea o'clock, Mr. Justice TAUNTON praceeiled to address the Grand Jury. The Learned Judge lamented to hod that the calendar was not only heavy with respect to the num ber, but also the description of the offences. There were several for maliciously burning, a great proportion for ma chine-breaking, and outrages connected with the late dis turbed state of the country. He also noticed there were two cases for sending threatening letters. The Learned Judge, having recited the various Statutes applicable to the offences, concluded by recommending the Magistrates and gentry to be prompt in their exertions to 9 repass any symptoms of turbulence. Thomas Buns, aged 17, labourer, was indicted, for having feloniously and maliciously sent a threatening let ter to the Earl of Sheffield on 'the 25th' df Octobi . r last. The case was brought home. to the liciicater frown his con fession before the Magistrates when apprehended on the charge. Tile Jury having accordingly found 'him Guilty, the Junax sentenced him to be transported for life. Henry carpenter, and William Ash, school master, were next indicted for having sent a letter to the Rcr. G. Woodward, Rector of Mansfield, threatening to burn him in his house, unless he lowered kis tithes. The Rev. Mr. Woodward proved, the receipt of the letter, which had been picked up near his gate. There was the outline of a penknife at the bottom of the letter, which was to this e ff ect—th a t un l ess h e gave up half his tithes hie destruction was sealed, and he should be burned in his bed. It also charged him with enjoying the living of Mansfield, and paying a curate 1001. a year to do the duty. The letter concluded by observing that the parsons had ton long beau suffered to get exorbitant tithes, and they had determined to oppose it in future. It had also been resolved some time back to burn him and his daughter itt the house together, but they sent the letter as a friendly warning. The prisoner in his defence denied all knowledge of the letter. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Captain Winter's trial for the murder of his wife is ex pected to come on to-morrow, and intents intere►t is ex cited towards the result. TUXSDAY. Edmund Bidehby, 53, labourer, was charged with her, log feloniously and maliciously set fire to a stack of the property of George Olivet, of East Preston. The Jury found him Guilty. The Juno% in passing sentence could not, consistent with his duty to the public, recommend his case to mercy, and therefore he exhorted him to pass the few remaining hours he had to live in asking that forgiveness of Heaven which the laws of his country could net extend to him here. The prisoner heard the sentence with very little emotion and was removed from the bar protesting his innocence. John Barnes, labourer, aged 32, was placed at the bit on two indictments, dialling him with hating, with divers others, assembled In the parish of Easteritte, and atiempted to extort money from Mr. Bonita*. 4nti Mr. C. Corney, farmers, residing near the said parish. The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty on both the indictments, The Julian should defer sentence, but the prisoner might rest assured if ever he we, permitted to trouble the country &grin, it would be at a very distant period. The sentence was pronounced as 14 years' tranportatiop. IVm. Squires, a 4, labourer, was, indicted for having riotously assembled with about 100 other persons, on the 18th November, in the parish of Boxgrove, and extorting money by menace. Tie cuse having been clearly proved, sentence of death Mae recorded against the prisoner. Sir R.
