" From mtitives of the purest delicacy, and of respect for the upright and IpartitA Judge who pre sided at' these trials, Ave intended to have carefully abstained from all ~notice of, s fatal wisunder anding under which he laboured respecting the exnminmiaus of Emilie of the witnesses, taken, the earlier stages of the proceedings, by the Com- MaOstrates. ". And the friends of the prisoners, we should lave imagined, resting satisfied with the verdict of their acguittal, would have been morer_,,Oxious to enjoy that triumph in silent satisfaction, than to recur, for the insolent purpose of insulting the .Magiarraey and the Government, to that slippery ground from which tl:e prisoners made, in the words of the Judge, so " narrow an escape" with *Bole necks. " As they have, however, affected, in the midst ,of their real ioy, to " regret that the Judge had wscasi:m to complain, in the presence of the Coin- Magktrates,, that the Apositions of the wttnesse had nor been returned to . bitn, as the rtit'T of thy 11 a i s rAtcs required, till he bad made paricular int-111.9r for ktl out selves bmind to coin life the history ( f that nnfort u- Date misnoderstandio4, p a rt of ‘vlhicla, and the most imoortant part, has been wilfully' suppressed, by the iodivithols who have been so imprudent as to ' , ling it 'all before the Public. " The Judge, then, tint .only elmplaincd, in the presence of the Committing Nialii;rates ; he.dis tinctly imputed to them; rir+t only in their own esence, hut i tha; of the Jury, and in onen Court, improper motives, and an attempt, to deceive the Joid,ze ! - We know not what were the feel nos ' of the active mod honourable Magistrates at the tnnmvnt. Those of our Reporter trembled for them, and for 'the character of the Magisterial ju risprudence of ihe country. _ _ _ " `But his fears were. it antly ..sipated by the open and prompt conduct of the Magistrates. The parties who have brought this unfortunate circum stance before the Public well know (for therwere present in Court during the time) that the Com mitting Magistrates' immediately offered to give explanations, on Oath, which would have satis factorily accounted, not only for any apparent it.- revlarity in'the prpductiot) of the examinations, but would have also accounted for the seeming " discrepancy' between the examinations and the evidence. One of the Magistrates, Mr. Allen, was actually Sworn, and was about_ to .reply to some interrogatories of the Counsel, when— The Judge peremptwily refused to hear them ! " In laying this important fact before the Pub lic, we repeat that we have not the most distant intention of imputing the slightest blame to the Learned Judge, who, we firmly believe, being under a misunderstanding, did that, and that only, which his conscience, and a high sense of his duty, dictated. Though it is our opinion, there- . fore, that his refusal to hear the Magistrates - had a fatal ef f ect upon the prosecution, we submitted in respectful silence to the verdict, rather than the conscientious conduct of a Judge and Jury should he called in question. With an indecent and imprudent eagerness, however, the occurrence has been dragged, in a partial and distorted shape, before the Public, by those who ought. to have heen for ever silent on the circumstances of the late trials,'from which their friends made so narrow an escape; and• we can, have no he,itation • in saying that their motives, in concealing the fact that the offer of the Magistrates to explain was rejected, are as base, and designing, and wicked, as has been their whole conduct, first in inciting the &hilt d classes of the people to out rage, and after-wards in !Awning incessantly to forward their projects, by active assistance ; by denying the existence of those projccts, white denial was possible ; and by palliating theta, w.:2en they could no longer be concealed. . Th u s far troth our own knowledge. We have authority, opon which we can rely, for stating further, that - the Judge (too late, unfor tunately, for public justice) was, after the trial, satisfied that he had been mistaken,' and sent an artology•to Mr. Allen, one of the Committing Magistrates, for the expr:•s•ions he had used. '' The mistake • was pm haps natural, and was at all. events on the side of mercy, as was another et - tor into which he fell 'ivi - th respect to the testi. Dimly, on a most material point, of the witness Wimpenny. In spite of rite assurances of the Counsel for the prosecution, his Lordship per sisted in this mistake, till Mr: Gurney handed him an extract of the evidence, verbatim, from • his notes. We appeal, even to the Reporter of the rcury Of for the accuracy of this statement. 'We happened to learn, on the. very day of the trial, the real reason that Ilearnshaw was not called to give his eddent7e. It was ascertained that, be had been closetled, for a considerable time,- with one of the Gentlemen eiry - loyed for the 'prisoners ; and his Declaration proves not only how airily lie hail imbibed his lesson, but how accurately the CPLIIIteI tar the Crown had calcu- latex) ibe circ,ct or The etihrerente, %lion triey de clined - to place him iii the witttesi This fellow': Dt.elaration, hy.the-trie, except that : he now maintains tltt cav"alryfiretflrit, and not the insgsg('llls: goeS'ottly to prove the main facts. of the out And that. he hinici.lf wits pre gem, thus coi‘firniing, the iteader will not tail to observe, the evidence of George Armitage.

" lust as, our Paper (The Leeds Intelligencer) was going to Press, We received the following Curionunication ft urn Mr, Thoinas Atkinson, of Colne Bridge, addressed 41 To THE EDITOR OF THE LEEDS MERCURY. " Sr rt,—l have seen a Declaration, in your. Paper of this day, signed " Charles Ilearnshaw," which I shOuld deem unworthy of my notice, but for your insinuation that I had tanipered with feet it a duty I owe to myself to say, and am ready to mike oath, that "was pre*ent at his exa mination before Mt— Allen, the Magistrate; and am quite certain llcarriShaw never mentioned the Cavalry having fired first upon the Mob, nor ga•'e the least intimation of such a thing lb Mr. Allen ; and l••po:itivily deny that I asked anY " favour" of, or " tampered" with him-in any way.. 1 recol lect, however, that whilst I *as in the waiting-room of the Grand Jury, previous - to my t•xamitation before the I was informed that Hearnshaw had been saying that the Ca valry fired first, nd I then observed that he Must be mistaken as to that, because Captain Anovtage, Mr. David Alexander, and George Whitehead, would ail prove the mob fired first, as they were all near the bridge as well as he. " The paltry circumstance ahont the Oran Are Bribe arose from the complaints of Gyorge Armitage and himself being detained so long without dinner, whilst waiting upon the Grand Jury ; tt Gent kman, on bearing them complain, gate them a biscuit, and I gave them a shilling for oranges.— These /his(4 were given in the most public manner, as many iersons then present can testify. " The Public wilt ledge of the falsehood of I - learnshaw's Declaration, from his statement that I said, I should contra dict him, when it was a well-known fact that I was three miles from the bridge at the time of the firing.

THE SEMI. 11117,EM (0 7 1 S DR:ERE FA LSII3I AIVASA?, LONDON, - THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1817. We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The following are Extracts : " Pants, AUG. 4.—The Marquis Doris, charged with Dispatches front the Sardinian Cabinet, pro ceeding through Paris to London, arrived at Ca lais on the 31st ult. " Letters from Genera of the 30th ult—an nounce that the Rhone, the great rise of which had caused so much alarm, had fallen from four to five inches in the course of a few days. " The Duchess de Broglie, daughter to, Ma dame de Star!, and the Duke, a Peer of France, arrived on the 25th ult, at the Chatcan of Coppet. The next clay the funeral car arrived with the body of Madame de Stael, followed by her son. Sun day the 27th the mortal remains of this celebr a t e d woman were placed in the tomb destined to re ceive them. " General Lacey, whose life has terminated so tragically in the Island of Majorca, was the son of a Major in a Regiment of Ultonia ; he was born in Ireland. lie did not belong to the fa mily of Lieutenant-General Lascey, Captain-Gene ral of Catalonia and Commandet-in-Chief of Ar tillery and Engineers, in the reigns of Charles M. and Charles IV. The latter was of the Hungarian family of the same name. It is remarkable that in addition to the similarity of name between these two Generals, an S being the only difference, both were Captains-General of Catalonia, but in times which afford no comparison with each other. " MUNICH, JULY 28.—The King of Bavaria returned here yesterday from Baden. " VIENNA, JULY 21 —A dreadful hail storm has done much.dainage in a part of Lower Austria, adjoining ttutigAry. Several person s were Iciilc~;, as were also many bead of cattle. ""rhe Spemish Infant Dun Francis Paul is ex pected here from Couri.Yrs pass through here very fre 7 citiently for Constantinople. " FRANKFORT, JULY W.—The itariest in Pran- cot►i>+ is the finest ever• seen. " VIENNA, JULY 24.-1 t is announced, that after the journey to Brolly the Court will return Let e, by the way ofTransylvania and the Military frontier of Bannat. Their Imperial Majesties are expected here Amu the middle of October. " Sir Thomas Mailland, his Britannic Majesty's Lord CommissiOncr to the lonian Isles, arrived at Venice the I !ill instant. " FRANKFORT, JULY 30:—The dispute between the Courts of Berlin and Nassau, respecting the possession of certain property formerly belonging ttj convents, has been referred to arbitration. The twb Courts have chosen for arbitrators the Mini sWs cif Bavaria and Oldenberg, M. M. d'Arelin and de Berg, who have chosen as Umpires M. de Plessen, Minister of Mecklenburg. " Manazo, Rir.y 22.—There is every reason :o believe that a geoeral amnesty will be pub ;shed on the occasidn of the acconEhement of the Queen." The fact respecting the supposeci PROTEST of the AUSTRIAN PRINCESS MARIA LOUISA (her real and proper designation) proves, as we were the first to treat it, a mere fabrication. The Morning Post of this day, a Paper which is not likely to stake its credit on light grounds, positively asserts, on authority, that it is, as we represented it, an impudent imposition. The purpose, no doubt, is to keep up the interest of the BOotrAtiARTE family, though it is little likely that the Heat! of it will ever be able, in person, to disturb the peace of Europe. The Chronicle is still silent on the subject, but as the document, such as it is, certainly came from abroad, and might have been received at a moment when there was Lattlly time to translate it, tinrch less to form a judgment on its real character, we,agree with the British Press, that " the apparent importance of such a document," 'received at site!) a Period, might excuse any public Journalist for inserting it. But as there have been strange rumours as to the birth of the young . - iiaroLcots:, and a re-. port that even the Princess INIAntA Louts k had been deceived.as to that circumstance, it May be fairly conceived, that the Emperor of AusTRIA would have ascertained the origin of the child, ha. fore he gave any sanction to his claim to sove reignty, whether in France, or, by possibility, in . Austria. If it be true, that Ow Boy is intended for the Church, as reported, that allotment scem.s to - give some colour to the altedged myA . ery of his birth, for, .otherwise, as the son-in•law of the Emperor of AUSTRIA, it might be- expected that he would rather have been reserved for secular honours.—We do not expect that the imposition of such documents will stop here, for the enemies of the BovartoNs arc incessantly ar work to weaken their authority, to degrade their cha racter, anti to effect their dowufal. By letters received from Mat:tinihne •we learn, that the Yellow Fever rages there, which it is feared has been communicated to some of our Islands. A ship which arrived yesterday from Ja maica, in the River, was immediately put under qoaraniine. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.—However we may dif fer in , politics with .this Gentleman, we shall be always ready to rio justice both to his public and private conduct. As it is known that the ronet is gone to attend the trial of Rooeit O'Cotl-, - NOR , in Ireland, unfavourable suppot , itions have been entertained, and his journey has been im puted to a political bias, which prevents him from judging rightly even on matters not relating 'to public affairs. The truth, hoWeve'r, we undzr staudi is, that Sir FRIOCCIs wits aware of the pro bability of such suppositious,••and therelore, though he was legally required to. attend on the • occasion, lie consulted with his•most judicious friends as to the propriety of his going, anti Orgy all advised him to.do so, particularly as he himself felt a conscientious sense of duty lest, if any Un fastourable'result should occur, and 'he were ab sent, it should be supposed that his evidence, Of whatever nature, might hive been in favour of the prisoner. Such a feeling is flinch to be respected, and therefore we feel some pleasure in stating the circumstance as, we arc assured, was actually the case. Last night the PviNcs ItEGENT arrived from the Stud-house at Carlton-house. During the time of the reviews in France, there dill be ites at Mont St. Martin, of which the Duchess of WELLINGTON will do the honours.— The Earl and .
