AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
Wednesday iim> 4lh July, being the anniversary
of the Independence of the United States of Ame
rica, the masters of the different ships of that nati
on, with x number of respectable merchants, cele
brated tbe festival, at the Grand Canal Hotel, Pnr
tobeRo, where they were served with a sumptuous
i, and elegant dinner. Capt. Robins of Philadelphia,
and Mr. Dunlap of New York, pverioed. The de
fiant ship t)ne;da, capt. Sloat. was decorated in the
. most superb manner ; the different American ships
in our harbour, displayed their flags, ttc. A trans
parency, the emblem of Gieat Britain and the Uni
ted Stales, crowning commerce ; with the Harp,
Plough, and othe: emblems, were displayed during
the night. The greatest harmony prevailed through
out ; the company amounted to 47 in number, and
()id not Anally break up nil 12 o’clock.
' July 14.
* . Many foreign papers, and a great number of pri
vate letters have arrived, the contents of which,
in their substance, will be found in another part of
. oor paper. The principal interest of tbe foreign pa
pers are the loose hints which they contain of the
active execution of the league between the emperors
Francis, Napoleon and Alexander. It is not usual
with tbe foreign editors to speak out upon these
heads ; the liberty of the press is still more narrow
in France than in England, anil the government has
its eye and its attention eveiy where—Enough,
however, may be collected even from the loose hints
•nd detached paragraphs, to lead to a conclusion
that theie is a general expectation on the continent,
that a campaign is meditated in Moldavia, andWal
. laebia.

Court of King's Bench—Monday, July Q.
WM. COBRF.Tr.
This being the day on which the court was to
pronounce its judgment on the a'-nve defendant, the
avenues at a very early hour were all crowded, and
the throng so unusual and pi&digious, that the chu t
justice was obliged to order the avqpues to be cleai
ed, it being with the most extreme difficulty that e
\en the prisoners coaid contrive to get into the bo
dy of the court. '
At length they appeared, and the attorney-gene
ral played judgment against YVm. Colbett, T. C.
Hansard, John Bu.id, and Ruhard Bagshaw.
Mr, Justice Giose first addressed the prisoner,
Cobbetl: he signified to him that he wus convict
erf of a uiO'it foul and wicked libel—A libel, the ten
d. nry of which was to create dislike of their duty
ip the local unlitm of the country, and disgust to
nut service in the foreigners employed therein, and
through (hrni to bring disgrace on the government,
and to paralize the energies of the state. The learn
ed judge observed, that the opportunity and the
season that the defendant had selected were those
when an enemy, the most ferocious, was at the ve
ry moment threatening our shores; an enemy whose
military government had laid prostrate the surround
ing states, and who marked his way with spuliati
on and plunder ; yet this was the enemy who was
stated by the prisoner to use his soldiers better than
the soldiers of this country were used, and whose go
vernment was compared with the government of
• Lin -4 i .. l: . er _ » '
' ’ / . ■ — --•
comfort* and protection to it* soldiery than were
'afforded to the soldiers of this country. The ma
lignancy of- this poison was therefore considerably
increased by the time and season when it was spread,
throughout the nation. Defendant had a (air, pa
tient, and impartial trial, he had the fullest opportu
nity of removing from the minds of the Jury any
doubts that they might entertain, if any doubts
they could have of the guilty and deleterious libel
that he was charged with. But the defendant nei
ther did nor could exculpate himself iu their Cjtfjjh
and they derided rrpon him wkh prOofs most rffti-5
vincing of the faiths* end wrftednessof his gnilt.
If it could not Be imputed to him that bis object*
were only to distract the government and to embpr
rist the state, then it roaid not be denied that oh- ■
jerts, if not as dangeroas, at least as base, could
not be removed from bit intentions, namely, that
. of writing libela for the degeneratnpurposea of base'
j and unworthy lucre and profit. Ibis the* jtaetf,

ing the poisonnf most destructive roalignary thror
the nation. A check must be put to such mis
chief, the state must be governed, the army mutt
fbe satisfied with them, the foreigners in our set vice
must not be traduced when they are labouring in com
mon with the whole of our military system, to sup
port the dignity and protect the safety of the eni-’
pire, and the military system mast not be moved to
a disgust of the service in whirl) they are employed.
For these reasons the cuuit holds itself called upon
to exert its authority this day. The learned judge
then adverted to the libel, noticing the most pre
vailing features of it, and ften iman emphatic
manner1 proceeded to pass the following 4
SENTENCE ON \VM. COBBETT. / i,
“The sentence of the court is, that yon, Wm.
Cobbett, do pay a fine to the king of lOOOl, that
you be imprisoned in his majesty’s goal of Newgate
for the spaee of two years ; that at the expiration
of that ptriod, you enter into a recognizance to
keep the peace for seven years, yourself in the sum
of 3000!. and two sureties in the sum of }000l.
each. And further that you be imprisonej^iU that
