DE MIRANDA. To the Hon. lames Madison, Esq.: - Your _Memorialist further respeafully, represents, that these letters were' received by the President and Secretary; so .a 5 to allow amplelime for arresting the Leander before she had left the port of New-York, if it bad been the pleasure of Government so to do, as the said Ship did not leave the'iiort of New-York till the 6d of February last. From this statement, your . Memorialist trasts it 'will appear, that the . Secretary of State and PreSident of the United States had a full knowledge of• the in tentions of General NI IR ANDA in re's-pea to-the Pro . vince 4 Carkoas ; and that they also knew he was making preparations at this port to carry these in tentions into execution. That though the Govern-. tent would not ,directly aryl the' enterpriie. of- Ge= l\li36lcr.A„ yet they gave it their approbatiOn, • and by their conduB encouraged `your Memorialist to int'olve himself in it. Aftehhis-stateinint of fads, youi Memorialist hopes that it will not be improper if he adverts to the state' of our political affairs at 'the time this •i7essel was equipped. The President, in his Message at the Opening of Congress, - had in -et - TeEt represented the Unit :d States as on the eve of an inevitable war with- Spain. - Nay, from that Messasge it-did appear, that thp most flagrant and violent acts of hostility had been committed' by Spain on the territory, vessels, and citizens of the United States; and that so far therewas an actual war betwedn the twonations. Atithe Moment too that 'these prepa?ations were makinaCongress were naing with closed doors; and, in, the opinion of the world, were occupied about our relations with Spain. ,At this period war might have been made by the - constitutional 'authority, and - under that authority the President might , have sanctioned a hostile ,military expedition, though there had been no,fpublic declaration of .war. If Cengre - is ' had seen 'fit to wage "war with Spain, and it had been thought proper 'to carry en secret enter prises 'before the declaration was made; the Executive , would have been the. organ through which such enterprises must . have been .executed : When, therefore„. your Memorialist was certain that : the PieSident and Secretary of . State had a perli:6t knowledge of the. intentions of .General MIRANI)A,, and that he was .making preparations to carry them into e\xectition—,w'hen .your Memorialist 'found that no measures were taken to check those prepara tions' by, the Executive—and . when, in addition to all .this, your Memor)alist found that the Bill for preventing the exportation of arms . had been arrested in its progress, .aecoiding to /the predic tion' of the Secretary of State, your Memorialist could nOt . but conclude that the ,Exoedition of Ge neral - IviraANDa.,. not only met the approbation of Government, but that, it was sanctioned by the laws. Yotir Memorialist could not ha,ve believed Olaf the Executive Officers of the Gaernmentsee ing prepariktibus for, an, illegal enterprize, and pos.: :sessing power to a tre-St. theth in their progress, could calmly li hk oo ii,ll.,:the mischief was completie, and then punish the, offence that theyiliad thus '.encou raged„;tind might have prevented. If the objea of GoYernment. was only the punishment of 'crimes, such' might he the conduA cif its Officers ; but, if • GetY - ernments 'are instituted to be the guardians of the peace, happiness, and tranquillity asociety, &Ai : its - members, then it is criminal in its Officers to hurse and nourish. an offence, till it shall attain its maturity, that-it may be afi obje6t s forgivingeffeal to the sam.' . .tions of the criminal-code, Your Memorialist further re;peafully represents; that on the firstday .of March last he was art'ested a warrant issued by the Hon.- M. B. TAnmsnbe, Esq. - Judge of the Distri& Court of the -United States for the New; York Distria . , and thereupon was carried' before the- said Judge, ,whom he found attended 'by the DiStri'd ‘Attotney of the United States;lind some other 'Officers of the Court : that yore Memorialist was informed, that he was then • . before the Court in two capacities,; that in the one hey was - to be-examined af-; a person charged with the offence mentioned in the warrant.; and in the other,' as a witness against others, who were, parties to the ,same offence :- That . he would be at liberty to an swer not, as he Should think proner,such questipus ac'shOuld be put to him in the first capacity ; bur that the CoUrr would compel hiMto,answerthe in terrogatories that would be put to him as a witness : That your Memorialist was first examined by. the. said Judge and Attorner as 'a party accused, Which examination having 'been reduced, to writing, Was signed by your 'Memorialist : That yOur Memo rialist Was then sworn as a witness, the.-Judge having informed your Memorialist that he 'would . then' be compelled to answer such questions as should be-put to him,your remonstrated with the:Judge as to. the legality of ohliging ~your Memorialist to answer in any capacity, whether as a witness .or as an accused party, questions which Might tend to crimiiate himself—that the Judge thereupon informed your 11 , 1emorialist, that he was not bound -to make answers by which; he would be -criminated ; but, notwithstanding _questions . were immediately - 'pitt to your Memorialist,, the answers to which must diredly exculpate or . eri initiate him ; and among other questions of this chi yotir Memorialist- was asked of .wliat the cargo of the Ship Leander, which had lately sailed • from theport of New York, consisted ? and to- what port or placeshe Was boundl that on these ques tions being put, your Memorialist said, that he'did not concei v e that by law he Was hound to 'answer, and finally refused tis - answer them . ; whereupon the Judge 'ordered, your- Memorialist to be committed, and.threded a warrant; to be made out sending him to prison. . . TheMembrial then goes on to state, that Memo-' rialist's,. being thus intimidated, did'answer the eptes tions pdt to him ; that the 'testimony thus - given was reduced to writing,, and signed by your Memo rialist, I.id s "Mensortalist was required again to swear to the same, and-upon his objOing to do so, he-was threatened with imprisonment, and thereby com pelled to . swear a second times. - He was then re-' quired, to give security as a principal for his ap pearance at the then : next Circuit Court of. the United States,for the New York distri&, himself in. ten thousand dollars, with two sureties, each in ten' thousand dollars, and 'as a witness, himself in five thousand dollars, and this being - done, after a deten tion,of about eight hours, Memorialist was set at liberty. The Memorial next states,- that at the last Circuit Court,' held for the distri& of New 7 YOrk, the Court Was opened, on the Ist . of the present month by the Honourable -MATTHIAS B. TALMADGIS, who alone, presided during,the term.- 7 " That Memorialist was summoned by his Sureties, and cokumitted to: the custody , of the Marshal : That his Counsel, consist ing of Messrs. Coi;olirr-, HOFFMAN, and THOMAS 1. ADDIS EMMET, ..moved far au Hal.eas Corpus, and that the Court,' after argument, ordered hini- to be remanded to the custody of the Marshal, ,finless he should give security to abide the order of the Couff, himself in te'n thousand . dollars, with one Surety ;in twenty thousand dollars.; and although the Counsel for your Memorialist warmly remonstrated against . such excessive bail being required. in such case, 'the Court refused to lessen the sums, and Memorialist was also bound in another...recognizance in fire thousand dollars, for his appearance as a witness ; that, in order to bring bet - Ore .the Court the man ner in which he had been examined before the Ma gistrate, and to prevent such illegal testimony from ; being matte-use of against him, Memorialist made ari .atlidayit, stating the. most prominent circum stances of that examinAion, as they have been hereinbefTe set forth; and thereupon the Counsel' for Memorialist moved, that the Court would flake an order, that the said depositions should not. be laid bel'ore the Grand Jury, 'or that they should in some way be suppressed ;• but the Court, al though it admitted that testimony taken as stated in the affidavit of your Memorialist, was.not legal, yet as the Court had a confidence that the Attorney-General. would not aCt improperly in the discharge of his official duties, refused to make an "order on tl:e subjed; notwithstanding Which, the DistriCt Attorney (Aid permit the Grand Jury to hacie the examination and deposition taken, in. the illegal manner aboi - eStated., togcther with many other de- positions against your Memorialist, of persons who wcre examined by the J.udge in, a similar manner, in the absence of your Memorialist. .. Y9ur Memorialist furthetrespeafully represents, that, on MOnslay, the Bth instant, the Grand dilty brought of iiiiament against your Memo rialist ; thereupon your MemorialiSt. was put to plead, 'Whereupon he filed a plea in abateMent, veri fied by the usual affidavit. That the distriCt Attorney, in argument, said, the plea. Nvas.frivolous; to Which, one of the Cdunsel for ,your Memorialist answered, - that he_ :thought it was not so, and that he 'hoped to' be able to convince even this Court that it did not deserve that cilia rater. The Court called on the Coilbsel for an ex- planation of' what he had intended by the -term ever? this Court, and, not having . received from the Counsel au explanation which - 'the Court chose to accept, the-Counsel was committed to the custody of the Marshal ; but, whilst the order for commit me'nt was making Out, the Counsel having stated to the Court that he did not intund any contempt of the Court, he-was discharged." The Memorial then proceeds to detail other legal proceedings, and to complain of. sever,ity on the part of the Court, the result of whiCh was, that he was , • cotnpelled to' plead in chief to-the Indiarnent ; and thus conclude. But on the application of the Counsel of your Mctiiorialist, and an atlidayit stating the absen . ce-of material witnesses, and that jour Me- morialist expeaed to have the benefit of their testi mony by the month of September next,- the trial was LONDON : Printed by KILH.AR-9 HARRI:,, of At the SUN-OFFICE, Q. 11':!., `!:‘.

'BARRETT, ESQ.. • This was an :indiettilek against the Defendant, Samuel Barrett, young Gentleman of high spirit, who was stated:to have lately coma from the University. The following faas-appeare4l from Mr. GARROW'S opening, And were afterwards prove,d in evidence. The Prosecutor Was a Mr. James Curry, a trades Man, residing in Manchester-street: He had two houses at the West end of the tpwn, which he let to a ' Mr. Plomer, a Gentleman ,of fortune :.from the West Indies, andbrother-in-law to.-Mr: Barrett. - Some of the Prosecutor's furniture having been da-. maged, it was agreed he should be paid for the same; and hawing called at Mr. Pleder's _to Ask for his money, the Defendant saw him at the door, damned him for an impertinent scoundrel, struck him a vio lent blow oh the' side 'of the head, and aftjfwards boaSted of what he had done. • Mr. MAhRvAtY, for the Defendant; admitted that he had committed the assault, but Maintained, the provoCation was so great, that it was hardly possible for the Defendant to avoid it. The Prosecutor used - the' 'mist impertinent language'-to the servant of . Mrs. Plorner- - -" I .desire," said -he, ." thAt she will make reparation ter the bed which has been spoiled, 7 And likewise send: back _the pillows which she has. stolen ; and I will have Jlerrup to Bow-street if she does not make good the reparation for the bed, and return the pillows." Mr.. Barrett asked him " What he meant, by such language? . " The Prosecuto r th en said You are - a swindling scoundrel A swindling scoundrel ! •:What you mean. by that," . said tife Defendant ?—" yon are a swindling set altogetheir," said. the Prosecutor, and then thilqwed the 'Defendant into the street, and several times told the Defendant. he dared not strike • hiiu-; on, which the Defendant, thus insulted and goaded, gave him what he merited, but what would not be justified in a:Court of juStice,-a good sharp blow with a cane.' . . Elizabeth Smith; who ,11nd been servant to Mr. - Monier; 'but who now livvd in Walthamstow, and outout of his family,' proved, these clas. Lord EV:ENBOROU-G4 observed, that as the assault was proved, the Defendant must be found gist - tilty., What was - to be dOne. in the case afterwards was quite another question. •On which, the Jury.found 'th e e Defendant . . TALBOT, 7J. TSIGSBY. This was an aCtion brought against, a - respe&able farmer on the.Edgware-road, by'the Plaintiff, a re spectable master tidier, for an injury sustained by n bite from the Defendant's dog. The declaration stated, that the dog -was in the constant habit of attacking and biting the King's Su jeets; and the - evidence only going to one attack on a boy, While the dog was chained, and his being soon after familiarized with the boy, .the averment `in the declaration, -, attacking and biting, not being sufficiently made out, the Plaintiff was Nonsuited. STRONGeTII . ARIVI V. HAWKE. This was an a6tion brought, by a celebrated seal cutter in Pall-Mall, - again s t th e Hon. Mr., HaWke, fbr a sum of 221. for cutting a seal with the family arms of the Hawkes, and drawing and emblazon-. inci the same arms upon vellum. The seal appeared to, have been cut in a very sriperior style i but owing fo some mistake or misdirea'tions, on the part of the, Defendant, there being ten quarterings in the arms, one of them was omitted, and , the 'Plaintiff had to re-cut a part of the seal, for which he charged three guineas ; fifteen for the original seal, with mounting and cutting, and the remainder for the painting on , ', vellum. After going.ipto some evidence, it was agreed to refer the cause to arbitration.
