" Several more Persons implicated in the• late Conspiracy here have been arrested, end among them some Ecclesiastics. A Lieutenant of the Regiment has made some important con fessions. The Conspit'acy appears in itself to biee been very formidable;---and it - is extraordinary that it was simultaneously alluded to in letters from Rio, Pernambuco, Paris, Vienna. and Madrid. " The Marquis of ANGEJA arrived here on the Ist inst. from, Rio de Janeiro, via Pernambuco. lfe , brings intelligence from the latter place o f the restoration of the ROYAL AUTHORITY there, on the 24th May, after, as is reported, a battle at • ALA.GoAs , in which the liAtuAw.troops defeated the /tisnrge.nts, ands second conflict near the town. eche Margois remained on shore only a few hours, but %viten be left Pernambuco the Pottpguese en /ours. were flying on . all the fortresses. It is said that. large 'military reinforcements are de- Inantred', as a conspiracy has been detected at the •more sanguinary . in its object than that at 'Lisbon ; but it is doubted whether any consider able portion of the Army will be detached to a ser vice agtinst which some dislike seems to he enter tained, especially at a moment when 'the preser vation of public tranquillity at home seems to re vire the utmost vigilance and circumspection. It is believed that the King, in his present dilemma, is anxious to return to his European Dominions. The Troops embarked for Pernam buco, will now probably be sent to Rio, if their reluctance to the service can .he overcome, and if they can be safely spared.

SIR WILLIAM PARSONS.—This Gentleman was not only deservedly eminent as a Musician, but highly revered for his good, sense,: knowledge of the world, sand companionable qualities. lle abounded in anecdote, and excelled in the humour with which he narrated them, as well as in playt sallies of fancy. He was also a good Magistrate, and discharged his duty in that character with firmness, but humanity. On the whole, Society lias suffered a loss in this Gentleman in every re lation of life. It is expected that the death of Sir IVILLtAta i'AtisoNs will occasion the removal of Jour Gig rOßD, Es.q..from the Public Office in Worship street, to a Western Department, a situation to he is well entitled by his learning, talents, and experience. Some time agO it was stated that a number of British Officers had gone to join the Spaniards: in aid of the Patriot cause. It is now said that a representation on that subject has been made to the British Government, and that the answer of Lord CASTLEREAGH was, that they were nut aware. of the fact, but that at all events such Officers had not the countenance of the British Govern ment in their proceedings ; and that if any of them Were taken, the ttoyalists would deal with them accordingly.

Mr. SHEPHERD ()pelted this case, and stated that it was an action to recover compensation in da mages for a breach of promise of marriage. • Mr. WAKEFIELD addressed the Courr rind Jury on the part of the plaintiff, whom he representd to be a young lady of respectable connections, and of considerable personal beauty and accomplish ments. The injury, he observed, which she bad sustained through the conduct of the defendant, was almost the greatest which altan could inflict upon a woman. The defendant, who was a man of competent fortune, became acquainted with the plaintiff in the summer of 1815, and in a short time secured both her heart and affections. He was introduced to her father, who was ft farmer o.f 4ome. consequence, and was 'received by her family with e‘cry possible confidence and:friend ship. His attentions to Miss Harris were of the most assiduous description, and to such a length had the mutual determination to be tnarried gone, that a day 11610 actually fixed for the wedding, which was to take place on the same day on which .Mr. Job's Harris, the brother of the plaintiff, was to take the band of a young lady to whom be had long been paying his addresses. The wedding dress was purchased, and the bridemaid chosen. In defiance of all these preliminaries, howe'yer, the defendant, who was between 50 and 60 Years . of age , abandoned his engagements ; and without the slightest apparent Aeseited the and Olt it`:cOolplctely out of his' power to make her arnendc, Ina: I a younger lady, a Miss Moue, (duly 21 years of age. •-• • - The• evidence prove& the Uthirtship of the plain tiff (Mai Was - about 25) by the defeitdant "a( her father's house, his. saying at one time when ap- . plied to in consequence of his staying away longer than usual; that he would be as goodas "his word, and his subsequently disappointing her. • Mr. JERi/IS• addressed the Jury at considerable length, on the part of the defendant, treating the courtship as a joke.

It Was Very 'true' that he had never said in express terms to any of the witnesses who had been called, that he would marry MisS Harris; but it appeared, that when he Was asked by Mr. Harris, jun. whether" he would marry..his sister on the same ,day on which he was to be married himself, so•far .was he from denying . _that - he contemplated a marriage with Miss Harris, • that he actually agreed .to ,the sug 7 gestion, although he subsequently avoided the ful filment of his promise.

JOSEPH AND wm.TunNsn AND OTHERS, Mr. TAUNTON opened this case, and stated that it was an- action to recover damages for an assault and false Imprisonment,: to which the defendants bad pleaded not guilty ; there were several other special pleas, in which they justified their con duct, stating that- they were in possession of a particular house, into which the plaintiff had ob truded himself unlawfully, and that they had gently removed him from thence, as they were authorised to do in consequence of his refusal to depart., To these pleas there was a replication on the part of the plaintif f , in which he alleged that even if the defendants were justified in removing hint from the house in question, in doing so they had as saulted him with more violence, and had done him -more injury and damage than was necessary for the purpose stated in their different pleas: — Upon this was joined issue. Mr: DAUNCRY said, that of which the plaintiff complained was a violent assault and false impri sonment inflicted upon him by the defendants, under circumstances which were utterly without the shadow of a justification. The defendants wet e inhabitants of the:parish of Epwell in thi county, in which parish the transaction in ques tion took place. The plaintiff was a young man who, on the morning of the day nn which he was assaulted,. had been married to a youggierson of the name of .Harvey; and who, previous to the performance of the ceremony, had sworn to his settlement being in a park') in Gloucester shire. The father of the new married bride occupied a house iu Epwell, where the vio lence' complained of had taken place. TO this. house, with those feelings which were natural. to a parent upon such an occasion, _he invited his daughter and his new.son-in-law, to partake of a wedding - dinner, and to pass the first night of their marriage. Mr. Turner determined that' the unfortunate plaintiff should not sleep in the house of his father-in-law that night—he went to the house of old,Harvey and peremptorily command ed that the plaintiff and his wife should not be permitted to sleep there. Finding the old man dis inclinetho attend to so unseasonable a mandate, Mr. Turner and the other defendants thought pro per to perform a sort of garrison - duty upon the occasionto . take possession of the house, and actually to place persons within it to prevent the entrance of the neW married couple. Poor Coombe, remonstrated with the defendants, but in vain. At length himself and his wife took refuge in the house of the uncleof the latter; and here again Mr. Tur ner'santliority prevailed,and from thence toobiwas driven with contumely, and exposed with his wife to the inclemency of the:weather, at a late period *of the month of November. Thus matters rested till between ,nine and ten o'cloCk aunight; when the plaintiff- finding, afl ingress to - his •father's house, stopped both, before and behind,-• at length succeeded in gaining admission by a window at the side, and forthwith proceeded to bed with his wife. Short, however, were his joys; . for.a per son who #iari seen him get in at the window, lost no time in carrying the intelligence to the -Com manding -Officer, Mr. Jo4eph. Turner, • who-was in a neighbouring public-house. Mr. Turner in stantly determined to dislodge hii innocent vic tims, and summoning his little regiment, marched with all* the confidenCe of superior strength to turn him , out. On , his- arrival at the pre mises he. ordered the :wretched - old father-in-law to turn • from beneath his • sheltering roof his son-in-law and his daughter. In vain did the old man plead the affection as well : as duty which he owed to his children, and the cruelty with which he should be deservedly chargeable, if on such a night - and ;such a season he were to thrust from Iris doors those helpless beings who had sought refuge withiu his walls. Mr. Turner was in exorable, and. out they must go. What right he had - to give this order, ,yet remained to be proved. However, finding himself disobeyed, he assaulted the trembling master of the house, and throw ing his furniture into the street, himself, at tended by his guards, as he called them, rushed up stairs. Mr. Turner, followed by the compa trionsot his guilt, burst into the chamber of the new married couple, and in defiance of their resist unee—ill defiance of those agonizing -attempts which the wretched wife made to cling to the bo som of the man to whom she had been betrothed for life—in defiance of that regard - which was due to every feeling of humanity and common deten- c"-----thia hand of midnight rufliftna SriZed the oh.. fects - iwaltei•r pursnir.p.s.draateed-thent• from thelr losely couch, Pan„eutryd el,eplaintiff a him a pait. of sitong iron handectfs, and then forcing opOti him his small 'clothes-00S '7attired a amidst the chilling atmosphere of a„Noventher evening., con veyed him to a distant pliblic-house, tollowyd by his wile.

John Callow was then called, and examined by Mr. TAUSTOII.—IIe knew the plaintiff, and also knew the five defendants, Joseph Turner, WVilli; :n Turner, Geo. Watts, Thos. Lyddiard, and George Gardener. Joseph Turner was the Churchwar den, and Thomas Lyddiard was the Overseer of the parish of Epwell George - Watts was the Pa rish Constable. He proved the facts as stated by Mr. Dmincey. Cross-examined by Mr. Jolvis.—Nathaniel Harvey was a pauper, and lived in a parish house; the banns between Coombe and Mils Harvey bad been published twice in Epwell parish,' but had been forbid by Joseph Turner ; heard that the pariSh officers of 'Brales had married Coombe by license ; Miss Harvey was pregnant, about half gOne; defendants knew this she bad had a bass tard child before.. Sir WM. GARROW—It did not signify if she had a hundred illegimate children, that would not . justify the conduct of the defendants.

Mr. Justice GARRoW, in summing up the evi dence, lamented, that in having-ehe honour, for the first time, tO preside as a Judge in this ancient city, such a cause as the present should be brought before him. The defendant had put no justifica tion on the record, nor indeed had not proved any; consequently time plaintiff Was , entitled to a ver dict. He could not-help thinking, - however, al though the law war in favour of Mr. Seymour, that there were quits On both sides. He would re commend to - the Jtrry, therefore, to give such temperate and•miliderate - damages as would teach each party that they bad transgressed those bounds of decorum which their respective_situations should have taught them to observe.
