He was dressed in a black coat, with black 'silk vest, and grey hose pantaloons. He kept himself as much secreted in the bottom of the dock as he possibly could from the anxious gaze of numerous spedators.,swhile in this Situation, until. the COME sat, he read a News. paper. When called to the bar to be arraigned, he: bowed gracefully, and when the part of a very long indietment had been read, which in the usual form mentions being moved and seduced by the instiga. ticins of ;he Devil, he was observed to smile sarcas. lirolly.—He has a sallow complexion, sharp visage, with quick and intelligent eyes, . which,, while in ep‘uest discourse with his Agent and Lawyer, he, seemed to close as if nearsighted, using at intervals very animated and impressive adion. His whole demeanour in Court appeared modest and decorous. It is observed, that he bears no trace of family re semblance in his exterior asped to his Brother, T. Addis Emmet, now the accredited Envoy at Paris, from the newfangled Government in this Country. • The horrid and fantastic gambols and expressions pradised on the night of Rebellion by the 'Wives and Daughters of the Pikemen, while encouraging the excesses and procuring arms for the Insurgents, could only be compared to the condud of their ami able Sisterhood, the Puissards of Paris. Parties of depredators have shewn themselves_ within a few days in the County of Kildate ;..but plunder, detached from any political view, seeps to have been their: only objed. They committed a robbery in mid.day at the house of a Mr. Frra•- • ORItALD ; hut the M agistracy of that County, with. tut any extraneous aid, are amply ,competent to keep the lawless and all descriptions in order.

COMMISSION INTELLIGENCE, Salt. 14. Robert bnmet was this day put to the bar, and arraigned on an indieltnent for High Treason. • The particular charge against th e prisoner at the bar, was fdr conspiring and imagining the death of the King, &c.' by providing arms, ammunition, powder, pikes, ilte. for .the rebels who had assembled in Dirty-lane on the nigh; of the *3d of July, in the traitorous insuriellion heretofore described , also for aiding in composing and procuring to be printed the Manifesto or Proclamation of the Provisional Government, found among other . matters in the re. bet depot, on the night of insurreetion 6 and this for the purpose of having the traitorous project, toluiv vert the - Conaatutinn and destroy the Government, ,by ,substituting a Republic,. disseminated among the traitors who had 'embarked in the rebellion, es Aye,' as among others, in order to gain proselytes to their iniquitous cause, and warp them from the al legiance they owe to the best of Sovereigns. lhe prisoner pleaded, not-godly, and for trial put himself upon God and his country-. On being asked if he was ready for trial, he rrplied, nut until Mons day. Being ordered to"withdraw, the gentlemen who attended for the petit Juries were discharged, but, their attendance at nine o'.clOck on Monday was neremptorily required - ego.. The following prisoners, found guilty''isn' c ifie preceding days, were ordered into . the dock to re. reeve sentence, viz. Walter Clare, JAI: Way, otherwise Hayes, Thomas Donnelly, Nicholas Far rell, otherwise Tyrrell, Laurence Begley, otherwise Baylv, and Michael Kelly. Clare and flay, Obsti. nately denied having been at the Scene of anion on the night 'of Insurredion ; the four others still pleaded having been forced into the rebel ranks. Baron G•ortor, previous to pronouncing sen tence, made an atreding appeal 'to these' unhappy people, observing how laMentable it was, Alt nes ;her the examples which necessity had compelled the Government to make disring thelast rebellion in thiccounkry, nor the lenity which had been shewn, had 'estranged the deluded people of this day, from . the base Projeo4 into whiih they had been, through theirsimplicity, seduced by artful and designing innovators, having no purpose in view but their oAvn, fancied exaltation to that sank and considera. tion7in the state which had been attained to by virtue, and sought to be demolishettby unparalleled crimes and Murders of the most atre.dious dye. • It is still more lamentable to relied, that the recent:ex amples which have been made, or that system .of mildness so ConapiCuOusly exercised by the present Government, have hitherto failed to operate to any salutary effed. But when the strange infatuation under which they had commenced their traitorous niathinations on the night of the last insurredion wits 'considered, the folly and weakness of• • the at. tempt could Only be equalled by the magnitude of its wickedness in point of design, with che f sgelA ciency and contempt attached to the scheme in point of execution. It is not possible to conceive that a despicable rabble could be so suddenly excited to dots own palpable destrudion, by the nefarious in. cendiari s who have been'so lung goading- them to scenes whith Must nitirnately terminate in that ig, nominions punishment Which the prisoners at the bar are shortly to suffer ; if any one of Mein entertained the idea of art Omnipotent Beihg as just as he is merciful. Btit what species of delusion could ex. reed that which impelled them to the vain and im,. pradicable notion of seizing on the garrison of Dublin;guarded as it was by 3doo well disciplined military troops, under the conduit of veteran and experienced officers, wi l co a party, consisting of . . , tin i'han iad, of *fit illitips, headed by tia gal.

Country", , which, if their prciedi had succeeded, would have descended from a - station of Pre-eminent happiness and liberty, to the vilest degradation, and most merciless slaverys 'When these bands of Insurgents, armed as they were with various weapons, failed in . making any impression on a single watch.boose t what expedations can they in future conteivi of their prowess or their rapacity against a State, supported by wisdom in its. Cabinet, by ardour and heruisM in' its armed forces,' by loyalty among its brave and well.affeded citizens ; in short, by the obvious hand of Heaven, in direding the cool and benign operations of the .virtriaus malty, against the attacks of the vicious few. In vain do they perse. vere in blindfolding their intelleCts, and hardening , their minds a t that awful moment, when, .by.sins" eerily of tepemance and etrodour, as well ofst/ing of heart, they should prepare to- meet that Illitit.'' potent Judge, from whose ail seeing and scrutinizing , eye, no human power can conceal the most secret thought, or cover the most ,complicated designs.--s• In vain du they set ay the wretched equivocation with which they seed to reconcile falsehood to themselves, and propagate the specious btu delusive doctrine among those criminals of their party, who, perhaps, might not .have a long period to sur. vivo them, an equivocation as weak and illusory, as it is wicked and detestable, amounting to a prin. ciple, that by embrewing their hands in the blood of their fellow-subjects to a cause, masked as it is by Treason and atrocities, under the feigned pre text. of patriotism, that they do not counnit tbur:. der, by infliding death- on, their opposers, while massacreing their feliow..subjeds,„ and their unlit intimate friends, and neighbours, whom they Mere ly consider to have died in war. . . " The crime of murder + a ll _ h o rrible as it is; can still be aggravated, but tyre is no degree of Mr. pitude of which circiamstances could make it sus. eeptible, beyond the treacherous design of taking the good, the loyal and the virtuous unawares, and immolating them under that infottate spitit which knows no boundary when once permitted to stifle_ the stings and reproaches of on accusing conscience, but never to be tranquillized in this , world or the 'next, without a full and unequivocal atonement and expiation, by a sincere 'detestation. and- abhot tenet of those enormities they had been guilty of, added to an open and ingenuous confession of them— without the influence of these principles .on, their minds, the exterior ad of prayer . or 4ctriblance :of chriitian preparation is no WM than a profane, mockery, and an impious presumption to fly into the presence of their Maker, with minds sullied in all the impurity of conscious guilt. ~.. . . ..
