THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH. reflected, that " it was not a seemly exhibition of one who had de voted his life to the exercise of Christianity to be placed in the si tuation of an accused person."* Alas ! it is. a dreadful proSpect for the Church when bad men of every description are lifting up the hand against her, and good men of no description will dare to come forward and defend her.- Does it not almost seem as if her natural guardians were " disposed to desert the cause which it was their duty and their interest td advocate ?"4: I am aftaid it will be too likely to carry this appearance. with those who prudently take a matter in its large bearings, and do not concern' themselves with the minuter shades of policy that will be found fretting and clinging 'to almost every ques don of importance. - Let our present. Bench of Bishops ask themselves, what would have been the conduct of Hough, Lloyd, Turner, and the rest of that venerable band of Prelates who - opposed the mandate of a tyrant, and consented to be led to prison, and, if need were, to death, rather than forego that open avowal of their sentiments which an unjustifiable infringement upon 'their rights rendered indispensable. Would they have weighed circumstances, and balanced policies, and speculated upon con tingencies, and hushed up resentments and, disdains, and set tled, finally, into a poor, weak, defenceless, unofrending, and despised neutrality ? No—they would have scorned such a renunciation of manly feeling. They would have told these Whig despots to their head, that their attack upon Bishop Marsh was an attack upon them ; that their censure of Bishop Marsh was a censure upon the whole Prelatical Bench ; and that their condemnation of his conduct, his opinions, hiS dis cipline, was nothing short of a eondeMnation of the body and spirit f Epicopal authority, exercised over the Church of Eng land as by law established. This they-would have told them ; and would have told them; and would have left these canoni cal dabblers to digest it at their leisure. - Certainly these are not times to be harsh upon any descrip tion of true churchmen, and least of all upon those selected by their learning, their ability, and their integrity, to have " the rule over us." But neither, be it remembered, are they times for Ecclesiastical neutrality, when Ecclesiastical dignity is made a subject of degradation. There are seasons when high authority must be exercised with discretion. There are emer genCies where it must be exercised, so far as self-preservation or self-interest is concerned, without discretion ; without hesi tating a moment to consider when virtue is in danger, where abouts lurks the policy. If exalted station draw not along with it a commensurate firmness, it is unhappily bestowed and unworthily enjoyed. If in any way the determination be pal sied to " do that which is lawful and right," come of it .what may, our best hopes, our fairest prospects,_ are at at end. Th e re is nothing that can bring such a man either reputation at pre- - sent, or ", peace at the last." [To be ,coneluded To-morrow.] MIDDLESEX- SESSIONS. was written.

REMARKS on a SECOND ATTACK on the BISHOP of PETERBOROUGH in the HOUSE of LORDS, June 7, 1822. CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. Yesterday, Thomas Gook, Jantes Harrison, and John Con nell, were indicted for combining, conspiring; and agreeing falsely to accuse Thomas Jay of a felony, in Stealing from a person unknown a watch and key. The indictment was of con siderable length, and con.fained various other averments. It will be remembered that Thomas Jay, one of the King's Postilions - , was tried for the felony at the last Old Bailey Ses- Mons, and acquitted, no evidence being adduced against him. The three defendants now indicted were witnesses against the lad, and by their evidence at BOW-street, obtained his commit ment for trial. They were now indicted for the conspiracy. The Court was extremely full at: an early hour, and Mr. Ex- Sheriff Parkins was p resent. Mr. ALLEY, on the part of the prosecution, having de tailed the facts to the Jury at some length, called the following witnesses to substantiate his case Thomas Jay stated, that he was one of his Majesty's posti, lions, and was at Carlton House on the night when the King went to Drury-lane Theatre. He-Was not on duty, and was in a postilion's undress, wearing a plain gray coat. After his Ma jesty had gone to the theatre, witness, with some of - his fellow servants, followed the carriages, and arrived at Drury-lane at about half-past seven. A servant of the name of James Smith, and another named Samuel Berwick, were with him, and at tended to the horses when necessary. About ten o'clock he went to a public-house opposite to the theatre, and had some ham and beer. Soon afterwards he understood the King was about to leave the theatre, and he assisted in bearing up the horses. The carriages had scarcely driven off, and he had hardly got into the crowd, before the defendant (Gook) came up and took him into custody. The other two defendants, 11arrison and Connell, immediately joined Gook, and took him to the Bunch of Grapes public-house. They charged hint with picking pockets. He had never attempted any thing of the kind, and such an intention had never entered his imagination. The defendants searched him, and found in his pockets a crown-piece, a half-crown, a pocket-handkerchief, and a small key. The wages he received from his Majesty were a guinea per week, and he found them amply sufficient. He was after wards taken to Covent-garden watch-house. Gook told the watch-house keeper that lie had brought a notorious character and pickpocket. The watch-house keeper answered, " Surely that cannot be." Witness remained in the watch-house all night, and the next day was taken before Sir Richard Birnie, at Bow-street. Ultimately, he was committ e d f or t r i a l, an d was tried and acquitted at the Old Bailey Sessions. The three defendants appeared as witnesses against him. He was subse quently set at large. . The witness was not now cross-examined, Mr. Anot.Prrus, who was counsel for the defendants, wishing the cross-exami nation to be postponed until the other evidence for the prosecu tion had been produced. James Smith, one of the King's stable-keepers, deposed that he accompanied Jay on the night in question to Drury-lane.— Witness conversed with him occasionally, and Jay frequently mounted the coach-box of one of the, carriages. Witness left the Theatre at about half-past eight o'clock. He never saw Jay attempt to do any thing wrong that night. Cross-examined.—There Was a great crowd at Drury-lane on that night. He stayed no later than half-past eight, and he then went home: Robert Duke, one of the Bow-street ,pirtiols, saw Jay when he %%las brought into the Bunch of Grapes'public-house, and was present at the examination at Bow-street. Two or three nights after the transaction, Gook and Conner were in a public-house in company with a notorious thief, who went by slang name of 001. Barton. Witness was present, and heard them talking about the affair of Jay. , Gook offered to lay a wager of two to one that Jay would be convicted, and said it was a very clear case. . Cross examined.—This conversation took place at a public house near Leicester-square. He could not positively swear on what night it took place. It was' two or three night's after Jay's examination, and towards the latter part of the week. Gook's brother was present at the time, and one of the patrols of St. James's. Witness was drinking with a young man of the name of Waddington. It was about 9or 10 o'clock at night. Wit ness had been a patrol only about a fortnight. Before this he got his living by brokerage, but kept no shop.. He sometimes did business about the Police Offices, and had been employed as a special constable at Bow-street. Francis Holyiands was also one of the Bow-street patrol, and had been so for nearly four years. He remembered the exa mination of Jay at Bowt-street. Previous to this examination, and in one of the outer Offices, the three defendants were toge ther. There were a great many people in the Office at the time. One of the defendants said, that it was a very strong case, and he added, " If the swr.//s do not come forward and settle the Did you not say just now that this Mr. Harrison was your friend ?—No, Sir. l'ou did not say so ?-4le was A friend of mine, because he wrote this letter for me.. Ile knew Mr. Harrison was not in Mc. Parkins's employment; He first saw him in Mr. Parkins's office, but Mr; Parkins was not th ere at the tune. Ile knew Mr. Parkins had written some letters to the papers, because he had sometimes taken them, some before, and. some after, the trial. His Majesty owed witness n ow a b a l ance f or wages; but he did not know how much On the occasion in question he was dressed in an undress suit. 'When taken, he never offered the officers the money in his pockets to let him go. again. When searched, there were a great many people in the public-house. _ Re-examined.—lle was not yet dismissed from his Majesty's service, because he had not signed his-discharge. - William Woods, clerk to th!. Magistrates at Bow-street, pro: duced the examination of the defendants against Jay, on Thursday, 16th of May. lie read the evidence of each from the minutes taken at the time. Cross-ex-amined.—Boly - lande, one of the witnesses now exa mined, told him at Bow=street something about swells; which one of the defendants had said, but he did not remember the conversation. Witness said he should not niention it to Si; Richard Birnie, but that he (Holylands)' might a as he pleased. There Was One gentleman in the office who said he had lost his watch in the crowd on the night in question. A certificate of the acquittal of Thomas Jay at the Old Bailey Sessions, and signed by Mr, Shelton, the Clerk of the Arraigns, was yutin by Mr. A LLEYas evidence._ r04 b47d 0 : 'a to :ern mos-F 'eig li : Forg ,, 0' 7 17 S;Q Mr. ADOI:PRUS objected to its being received as evidence, and a long legal discussieri arose on this point. - The COURT thought it was unnecessory under this indict ment to produce the. instrument, and it was accordingly with drawn: Here the case for the prosecution was'concluded. Mr: ADOLPHUS now addressed the Jury At consid era bl e length on the part of the defend a nts, a nd in the course of his speech adverted to the manner in which this prOsecution had been commenced and bolstered up, and mentioned Mr. Ex.: Sheriff Parkins as the individual who had been principally en gaged in the business, and who had been most anxious to push forward the prosecution. This person, he said, hail filled the public papers with pirffi and paragraphs to answer his own private ends, and he and his hardy.myrmidions had come here to-day— TEAsT INDIA HOUSE, Sept. 4, 1822. 44 COURT of DIRECTORS of the 1-4 4) 11 , 1 TED (lOMPANY, of MERCHANTS of ENG- Nati ce IIt4 DING to the EAST INDIES, do hereby give Th at ' ke i ,, the C ommittee of Shipping will be ready to receive it lt -sal s in writing on Wednesday, the 18th instant, from Ilie er l '. ers°ll or Persons who may be willing to build in the b°u s ? am es, ONE or MORE HOYS of the Burthen of Ti l t „, 4t Y -6 re Tons for the Service of the said Company. 11 1 , c - `enders, with the words " Tender to Build Hoy*" on t he e ° "11 to be severally sealed up and left with the Clerk to Tw e i t "lnt ittee of Shipping, at this House, at or before Neh e "i,° 'lir .

Mr. Lee, the High Constable of Westminster, Mr. Francis Robinson, and many other witnesses, spoke to the character of Gook, and spoke highly of his conduct. Other witnesses ' were called to the character of The two other defendants. The CHAIR arAg summed up to the Jury, and with great perspicuity recapitulated the evidence. lie, upon the whole, thought that the evidence to prove a conspiracy was light, but of this the Jury would determine. The evidence Of Duke and Holylands he thought bore in a very slight degree against the defendants when properly congidcred. With respect to the witness JaV, he had certainly fenced with the subject, but had at length declared the truth. The Jury would take the whole facts into their consideration, and would, no doubt, give them their due weight. _ 605 o , Per c 445 ); 66 s er e , -s p ~r, 30s P e ' ,er ilr• it?jr qr 7. } pf tO 11 1° 31 11 , 'A Si , 1- " o j 0 ,1 I 1 , O J 0 1 ° II 16 ' Oa ;, i f c e r The Jury retired fox' about a quarter of an hour, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty against all the defendants.

If the Es tablished Church fall, it falls not through any means of his ; through any neglect, any indifference, any cold, pausing, wretched neutrality. His feelings have been all alive to its danger, and his strength (and it is powerful) has been manfully put forth for its consolidation and defence. He has rendered it many and important services. He has wrestled against its nu merous adversaries, through " evil report and good report"— He has withstood, and, in the opinion of the greater part of the orthodox brethren, has very successfully withstood the bandied phalanx of Reman Catholic Claims, African Associations, Bible Societies; Church Missionary Societies, Societies for the Conversion of the Jews, Evangelical Teachers and preachers, and the whole farrago of "pious frauds" by which the people are inn fair way, of being canted out of both their substance and their sAises. These hypocritical institutions, which, made up of the very blood and bone of dissent, are rapidly erecting them selves on the decaying foundations of our Establishment, he bath confronted and confuted. And, though he may have hereby made many enemies among the disaffected, he has yet, I trust, by this very procedure, attached to him all the well af fected ; all. who discover ia the danger of the Church the danger of the State,lamr ; who regard the downfall of the one as dread fully prophetic, andalmost instantly to be fulfilled, of the de struction of the other. If, says his Lordship, with a firmness that must do him honour even in the opinion of his adversaries, " if the party which prevailed in the time of Charles I. were now to be re stored, then indeed would the Bishop of Peterborough incur the same fate as Laud ; and, like Land, he would rather sacrifice his life than abandon his religion." This is, genuine chris tianity, genuine patriotism ; the very firinness .in the clerical character that we want in this " day of reproach." This is that " right hand of fellowship" that we are called upon to hold out, not to dissenters from our Church and dispisers of our 'faith who extol and laugh at us for our liberality in the same breath ; but to God, to our King, and to our Country; to that God whom we reverence and they unconsecrate ; to that King whom we honour and they calumniate ; to that Country which we regard with veneration and they treat with scorn. This is, finally, that calm - and dignified demeanour that shall " put to silence the ignorance of foolish men" ; that shall convince these defamers of our holy profession that they can neither make us afraid nor ashamed to acknowledge it ; these methodistical Peers and democratical Commons, whom, but for their in fluence with the infidel and radiCal part of our population, we should catalogue in the list of the very pettyest opponents the Church was ever pestered with. I will say no more on the conduct of our Whig adversaries, or on the character of their opposition. The nation is pretty well apprized, from the Durham, Norfolk, and Kent County Meetings, of the objects they have in view, and of the dangerous means they confide in for their accomplish ment. Those objects, however, providentially remain yet to be compleated. The violence of their proceedings to obtain power will ever, I trust, continue a bar to their possession of it. We are not yet prepared for rebellion, or ripe for revolu tion, though large and open strides are certainly making to wards it. When we want to throw the Empire into French departments, to discard the oracles of Revelatiox, and to set up the Goddess of Reason in their room, we will call upon the Whig Faction for their advice and assistance. But until that propitious consummation arrives, we shall, I believe, be able to go on without them. • Before I finish my remarks on these extraordinary proceed= ings against the Bishop of Peterborough, I must beg to adz vert to one part of them, which wears, I confess, a somewhat Melancholy aspect ; I m ean , t h e t o t a l silence, of the Right Reverend Bench on this attack upon the very vitality of their sacred function. .It certainly does seem to subject them to the reproach put upon them, and a better friend, probably, to their order than the Earl of Carnarvon might have been justified in " expressing his extreme surprise at perceiving so numerous an attendance of Reverend Prelates, and finding them, at thi same time, mute and silent under such circumstances." t What a compound of inconsistency is man! The very de:- fects we studiously create, as occasion requires, we heii tate not to expose. The Whig treatment of Bishops in the House of Lords bill too frequently constitutes an apo logy for their silence. That they do not venture to give their opinions (except under very imperative circumstance s ) may be fairly imput e d t o their being rarely encouraged to do it. It is not thought necessary. It is even affected to be contemplated as inconsistent with, and derogatory to their Spiritual profession. They are too much considered as mere appendages to the Upper House ;' as a sort of passive machinery to be worked at pleasure, or at pleasure tOremain in abeyance. If they venture to deliver their sentiments upon any subject, some Whig jester presently puts them down with his scorn. If they omit to deliver them, he turns about and upbraids them with his " extreme surprise that they should continue silent." Such a degradation of the senatorial character (especially when united with the sacerdotal) must be beheld with regret. I consider the Lords Spiritual as possessing a seat in the great council of the nation for the express purpose, in conjunction with the Lords' Temporal, of watching over the welfare and tranquillity of the realm. That welfare is not confined to the religion, it takes in every part of the polity of the State ; and on every part of this polity, a Bishop of the Church of England will feel it his duty to exercise his best judgment, and to give his free, full, open opinion. He can hardly be considered as an integral portion of the Legislature without doing this.— When an established religion is united, as in this kingdom, with the established government, many measures in the one may be found, in a variety of cases, materially to affect the other; so to affect it, that the thing must not be slurred over by a silent vote, but reasoned thro ug h i n a ll it s stages , an d in allits i stages opposed. But if every thing not purely of a reli gious nature is tube considered as dead matter in discussion, and as what the Episcopal band have no concern with, I see not how, as guardians of the Church, they can have any secu rity for its permanent well-being. If they be only expected to move themselves when its welfare is directly attacked, it may receive many secret and serious wounds before they move at all. Here, however is a case strictly in point ; wh er e the assau lt was directly levelled against the Church ; where the subject in dispute. affected the very existence of Episcopal authority, and, by consequence, of the established religion of the realm itself. Here the whole Bench must assul•edly have felt themselves called upon not to be silent witnesses of an attack (and an at tack repeated in the very face of former confutation) made less against the Bishop of Peterborough than against those doctrines he hid espoused and that prelatical power he had maintained and defended. Here was an opportunity for the most vigorous and righteous opposition. Did they then rise up as one man and declare that they would repel this insulting invasion of their Episcopal rights, this harsh and ill judged censure of the exercise of their Episcopal duties ? Alas ! to borrow the taunt ing language of their adversaries, " all were tranquil, timid, and retiring ! "+ A whisper, a hint, a nod, were no where visible. " Not one stepped forward to vindicate the principles he profess ed; 4:" or the distinguished Divine, who, at various times, had so ably vindicated those principles ! Such an indifference, such an inertness, by whatever, coil, creeping, policy it may be defended, I must think " augured most favourably.".,*. It was not in uni son with the crying necessity of the occasion ; with the sanctity of the Ecclesiastical profession; with the integrity of the Ec clesiastical character; with the true British firmness, which, looking to the noble soil from whence they sprung, was, under such an important emergency, to be expected from them. That their Lordships herein compromised present duty for future expectancy, God forbid I should be induced to think; but I must believe that to delicacy of feeling, a lesser virtue, they, in all likelihood, sacrifice a virtue of far higher cast, dignity of feeling. It was an unhappy policy. Their partial opposition was less to be dreaded than their dead, general, silence. I know not how this ntounful omission is to be extenuated. That some among the Right Reverend Bench might secretly disapprove of certain parts of Bishop* Marsh's conduct; that others might not precisely agree with him in his explication of the Liturgy and Articles, as manifested in the tenor of his ques tions; and that others might be disposed to think that the of fence, if any, would sooner the away out of the House the less it was made a subject of discussion in the House, is no ade quate apology; is, indeed, no apology at all for this general supineness. They must have felt that the " voice of faction!" had been raised against Bishop Marsh—that " the Episcopal authority had, in his person, been insulted""'—and, with a gene rous ardona that spurns all selfish interests, they ought to have ORIGINAL LETTER FROM EDMUND BURKE TO GENERAL CHARLES LEE. We have in our possession a considerable nurn. ' ber of the private papers of General Charles Lee, who occupied a distinguished post in the Revolutionary Army, and till his ' collision with General Washington, possessed the confidence. and affection of the `American people. His private correspond ence was very extensive, embracing some of the most distin guished men who were on the stage of action at the eventful period of our Revolution. The letter, of which the subjoined is an exact copy, is in the hand-writing► of Edmund Burke ; and not recollecting to have seen it iwany printed collection of General Lee's correspondence, we transcribe it ter the gratifi cation of the curious.—( Rhode Islagd American.) "DEAR Six—l received two letters from you ; one by Mr. Hay, the other by the packet. 1 thank you most sincerely for both. Your first was particularly acceptable, as it gave me an opportunity of renewing and of improving my acquaintance with a Gentleman for whose character I have always' had an high esteem. Illy particular friends were the first who took notice of his merit. They imagined that they could not do a better service to GoVernment in P. newly acquired French coun try, than to send them one of the best samples we were able to furnish of plain, manly English sense and integrity. I wish those who rule at present my shew, by the provision they make for hini here, that such qualifications are Still in some request among ourselves. " It was extremely kind of you to'remember your friends in our dull worn-out hemisphere, among the infinite objects of curiosity that are so exuberantly spread out before you in the vast field of America. There is indeed abundant matter, both natural and political, to give full scope to a mind active and enterprising like yours; where so much has been done and un done ; and where still there is an ample range for wisdom and mistake—either must produce considerable effects in an affair of sixth extent and importance. It would be no light mischief, and no trivial benefit. When one considers what might be done there, it is truly miserable to think of its' present dis tracted condition. But as the errors which have brought things into that state of confusion are not likely to be corrected by any influence of ours, upon either side of the water, it is not wise spectilate too much en the subject. It can have no effect but to make ourselves' uneasy, without any possible advantage to the public. IL're, as we have met, so we continue s in the most perfect repose. It has been announced to us that we are to have no business but the gold coin. This has not appeared as yet; and if there be nothing further than we hear of intended, it will come on time enough. The politics of the Continent which used to engage your attention so much, attracts no part of ours. Whether the American affairs will be brought before us is yet uncertain. " Saturday , I heard the Massachusetts petition against thei r Governor ana Deputy discussed before the Council. It was spoken to very ably by the Counsel on either side; by Messrs. Dunning and Lee for the Province; by Mr. Wedderburn for the Governors. The latter uttered a furious philippic against poor Dr. Franklin. It required all his philosophy, natural and acquired, to support him against it. I hear that the peti tion will be rejected. The Council was the fullest of any in-our memory. Thirty-five attended. " I hope, as you say nothing of it in your last letter, that your fit of the gout was but gentle, and rather a sharp remedy than any thing that deserves to be called a disease. With many thanks for your obliging remembrance, and all good wishes for your journey and safe return, " I am, dear Sir, " Your most obedient and faithful humble servant, " EDMUND BURKE. " Westminster, Feb. 1, 1774." To General Charles Lee, Philadelphia. IRELAND. THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE. DUBLIN, SEPT. 7.—yesterday, at half-past 12 o'clock, this cause was called on for hearing, when Mr. HUBAND, Counsel for the bride, proposed to the Magistrates that they should ex ainine his client en secret (Counsel and all the other parties leaving the room), for the purpose of their ascertaining and de termining whether she was really a reift. Mr. If unarm addressed the Magistrates in so low a tone of voice, that for some time we could not collect his expressions. When heard, he was understood to remark that the young Lady's testimony should be heard by the Magistrates, as, from the delicacy of the subject, he deemed such a course of pro ceeding was highly necessary. Mr. FINLAY objected, on the part of his client, who, he said, was summoned for " aiding and assisting in procuring the mar riage of Miss aged 13, with Mr. P.—, aged 53, against her will and inclination." He should therefore resist any attempt to procure an examination without his being prevent. The Magistrate, Counsellor GROVES, said the subject was not one that warranted him in deviating so much from the or dinary course of proceeding. Mr. HUBAND then suggested that all persons who were not concerned either as principals or witnesses, should withdraw. Mr. FINLAY having consented, the Magistrate gave orders accordingly. We have since learned the subject stanch over for further examination, when the Clergyman by whom the parties were married (as alleged) is to be examined. A summons for his • attendance was immediately issued.—( Durham Freeman's Journal.) Yesterday a respite until further order, was received for Walter Fitzmauricc, who, at the last Assizes, pleaded guilty to the charge of being an accomplice in the ab duction of Miss Goold, and whose execution was fixed for this day.—( Cork Advertizer, Sept. 7. ) business, we shall leg him." Witness told the circumstance to Mr. Woods, the Clerk of the Office. _ . Crosszexamined.-LHe never mentioned the circumstance to Sir Richard Birnie, and never went before the Grand Jury to tell the story. He was, he believed, in the country at the time, at kghatu, or Staines, but did not continue there. Observing that Mr. Parking had taken tip the business, lie mentioned the fact to him. He could not recollect whether he was in London at the last Sessions at the Old Bailey or not. He thought he was in London. Jameg Pike; a publican keeping the Harp in RUssell-street, proved that he. saw Jay on the night in question, with the first of his Majesty's coaches. Witness was taking some porter to the two-shilling gallery at the time. Jay was seated on the coach-box. At a little after ten, Jay came into his public house to have a plate , of ham. He ate it, and drank with one of his fellow-servants. He saw Jay nearly up to the last minute when the King left the theatre, anti saw him taking the clothes off the horses. He saw nothing improper in his conduct. Examined by the COURT.—About 10 minutes afterwards the King came out; he saw nothing more of him. William Nettleton had been a parish constabld of St. Mar tin's for 17 years, and during that period had been in the con stant habit of attending Drury-lane theatre. He was there on the night in question. Be was always extremely vigilant in looking after thieves, and saw nothing of Jay picking pockets. The probability was, that if he had done it, he should have seen it. Cross-examined.—His duty was both in and out of the house to keep peace. Gook ISMS a constable of St. James's parish. He knew nothing of the other two defendants. The witness Thomas Jay was now called into the box, and cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS.—He had been about a year and a half in the King's service before this affair happened. He was not now in his Majesty's service, nor in any other ser vice. He was now supported by his father and mother, and . partly by his aunt. He could read and write. He could not recollect whether he had written a letter to the Morning Post. Have you within this last week written a letter to the Morn ing Post g--1 cannot recollect. The CHAIRMAN desired the witness to recollect himself and to be on his guard. The question was repeated, and the wit ness answered, " I think a letter was written to the Morning Post." Cross-examination continued by Mr. ADoLmus—Was it within the last week ?-1 think it wag. And written by yourself ?—Yes. Upon the subject of the trial ? Mr. ALLY objected to this question, and it was waved. The witness said he ail write this letter, and thought it had been inserted in the paper. He saw it in the paper the morn in„ after it was printed. lie could not tell whether he saw it on Saturday last, September 7th, or not. He thought it might be thereabouts: It was before Sunday he saw it. Who told you to write the letter ?—I wrote it myself. Do you mean to say that no one told you to- write it ?—I wrote it myself. _ _ Did no one give you the words and form of it ?—No, I wrote it myself, and had nobody to help me. Before I sent it, I told Mr, Parkins I intended to send it. Oh you did, did you ? and did Mr. Parkins tell you also that he had expended 121. for . you ?—He might have spent it for me, for any thing I know. Did he tell you be had spent it ?—I know nothing but what I can prove. How came you to send the letter to the Alorning Post ?--lt was by my own thought that I sent it. Have you received any subscription in consequence ?—That is best known to myself. Have you received any money to carry on this prosecution ? What I get I shan't tell. By the COURT—Have you received any ?—I have. The letter sent to the Mei ning Post was here produced, and shown to witness. He was then asked who wrote that letter ? A friend of mine, a person of the name of Harrison. -- How came you just now to say that you wrote it yourself, and of your own suggestion ?—1 said it was through me that it Foreign-Office, Sept. 9, 1822.
