Mr. Justice Abbott then taidrtmcd them to the folln*ing effi•et

.• Prisoners to the hae—You stand here. Oa persons in number, it
melancholy example to all (Doi are here preen, and to all your coun-
try, of the sad ettects of mi.-bilging in thus' brutal and violent passions
by which you all appear to have been actuated iu the cromuession at
the mimes( of whieh you have been convicted. You seem to have
thought, that by your own strength, and your own threats, you should
not only be able to oppress and into:Mime your poweahle neighbours,
but even to resist the strong arm of the law itself. Ilow Tani that
thou,, ,ht, your present situation shows. It •to suggosted that
you had beeninduced to perpetrate these violent outrages. by hard
necessity and want; but. utter attending closely and oriedy to the
whole tenour of the midence, which has occupied the attention of the
court for several days. there has not appeared in the condition, cir-
cumstances, or behaviour of any one ot >nu, any natant to suppose
thut you were instigated by distress. By what motive. or under what
mistmom advice or disoosition, pat began to act :n t e way you didsjs
bast and perhaps only known to God and your own tainiwienves. The
preservation out um,- ea toe osant miler awl }ease of society, the pre-
&ovation of life itself, imperiously calls upon the court to declare, tha-
many of you must expect to undergo the full sentence of the law. It
is so:ne consolation tothe court to heable to say, that in attending to and
distinguishing the eases of each particular individual, we have found
uu inaiiy ut Li.t.iffenCtitiv•LillllVs Widdl IC; rrant us in giving to Dual),
of you a hope that your lives will be saved. Toe gentlemen of toe
jury have pointed out some of you to our attention; and in so doing
they hove acted with that merciful disposition and accurate discriminas
tion which they have shown throughout the whole of yogi- trials. Such
of you whose lives may, perhaps, be saved by till. crown—tliat power
alone on earth who can save thulli—ntuA not expect that you shall be
tli,lll6wed from dour (Minis without undergoing some severe punish
mint. Many of you must expect to be sent away for a greater or
less portion of time. and a few even for the whole period of their
lives, from that country whose peace they have thus disturbed, and
which they have thus disgraced. Human justice. however it may
be administered, as it is always in this country with mercy, requires
that some of you should undergo the full sentence. in order that
others may be deterred from following the example of your crimes.
You William lb-amiss the elder. you George ('row, you John Dennis,
von lome Harley, you Thomas !tooth the younger; let me exhort
you to prepare for that sentence: let me entreat you to apply your-
selves, during the short rimainder of the time which can he allowed to
you in this world, by prayer and penitence, to appease that Almighty
power whom you have offended: address yourselves seriously and
fervently to that throne of grace. from which hereafter you may extra
to find that mercy which cannot 1w extended to you here. You William
Iteamiss the elder are a person whose condition in life ought to have
taught you to restrain any unruly and turbulent disposition in your less
enlightened neighbours, instead of becoming one of the most forward
in the perpetration of those ofrences which placed your town Sir several
days in a state of trepidation and alarm. You boasted, however. of your
situation, and took with you your own son to he the partner of your
crimes. Considering his youth. and the influence which your evil
example may be (atomised to have had upon him. he is placed among
those who are reemninended to the mercy of the throne. You George
Crow were one of the number whip, at it late hour of the night, NV:se
into the dwelling of two peaceable individuals against whom you had
no cause of offence. One of them, whose age aril infinni6ot were
entitled to imitation and respect, was subjected to your violence and
plunder: the other had the good fortune to eseope fully he ing from
you. Your offence, therefore, is not merely that of oath you have
been convicted: you came there, not with that intentitm alone, but to.
destroy the life of one person. You John Dennis arc also • per-
tain whose condition in life might have taught you to restrain
the wicked possions of others. You endeavoured., on your first
appearance in this place. to represent to the coup, that you hid been
compelled by twee to leave the plate of your dwelling, and liive your
assistance in plundering the inhabitants of this city. 'I he Jury
to wlttati this representation was referred did even, on that tweasion,
repudiete the evidence: two other trials followed. and you o ere found
swotting forward as the leader of that lawless band which entered
this (my ter the purposes of plunder and violence, and anted with
a more dangerous weapon than the rest of pair associates. You
Isaac Harley were the first person alto assaulted the reverend
minister of your parish at los own door: you stood the first
of that wicked aosembly, and demanded money of him: and hay-
ing refused shut moderate sum he otrerod. you enforced from
loin the delivery of his money by your own bodily strength,
threed your way into his dwelling. and compelled him tool his funnily
fty at that late hour fin their lives. Yon flumes south the youn-
ger appeo to have been one of the most aetifo in those wicked trans-
actions which took place in your town; you took from one of your
neitthbours the savings perhapi of many years; and then proceeded to
another, and foxed him to part with such MIMS it you sail your LAW-
fr.,: companions detnandelL With a deadly weapon in your hand, you
afterwards went to the house of an typal wmnan, mid shook it over her
head. In addition to these outrage,. there are no less than four other
OWL% in which the grand jury of your country have Mond bills of in-
dictment tolainst you. You then, the live whom I have addressed, let
me again exhort you to apply you helves by penitence rood prayer to ob-
tain front Heaven the parotin a your crimes. It now remains fir me to
pronounce on each and every one of you the awful sentence of death ;
anti that sentence is, that you anti etch of you be takenfronthenee to the

LONDON : •
MOND.IY, JUNE 24.

-;-

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday last.
They ere ahuost exclusively occupied with the particulars
of the marriage-ceremony on Monday, at Notre
Dame, of the Duke and Duchess of Berry. The
language of the French press on the occasion is dis-
tinguished by such gross flattery and fulsome adulation,
that some persons may be uncharitable etur.,gh to doubt
the sincerity of the panegyrics so profusely lavished.
The Monarch and his firmly are treated not as human
bein,,s, but us deities ; and we are told " the sun ruse
clotullessfin• the purpave of illuminating the object of
so many wishes and hopes." After this glowing ob.
servation, the Bathos of the writer is most l,.alicrous ; as
immediately after he tells us that some "veterans and
others formed in two files to keep the passage clear limn
the Thuillerics to the Church." The fountains of wine
are represented to have run in abundance ; and if we may
judge from the reverier of the writer, he drank freely of
that precious stream The Paris papers, describing the
Duchess of Berry, soy, " her cotuitenouee is full of sesi-

sibility, and possesses ;t character of peculiar sweetnoss.
Her hair is fair, and her large blue eves give to her thee
an expression of melancholy deeply intertaitiog. She
was dressed in a robe enriched with diamonds ; on her
head was placed a diadem composed of the same, in the
centre of which appeared the Nuptial Crown. The Duke
was decorated with the orders of the Holy (l;. 'lst and St.
Louis, and wore the costume of Henry ith a
cloak of gold. The Duke of Wellington was pr• sent,
and hail a distinguished scat as►►igunl 10 him in a Tribune
on the right of the Sanctuary. All ti. it is }Tread in the
Heinen Catholic Religion, imposing in mill", yt..:,;:antry,
and splendid in Court luxury, wa: employed on ►he oc-
casion ; diversified with the gamirds of danecrs, shows
of every kind, and sports in the Elysian fields.
These Papers confirm, ii u le•ter from Marseilles, the
account of the terrible nu....aere at Bone. About 260
Christians were killed. Sixty wounthA got back to i!:• it
boats, and reached Cagliari. All the houses of the Chris-
tians wc.. pillaged. The Letter eon. !udes by saying,
that " the insurrection vss produe"ci by the discontent at
the Treaty between Lord Exmouth an,l the Dey of
Algiers. Let us hope," and sincerely do we join in
that hope, " that such atrocities will be avenged in a
signal manner."
The Paris papers contain extraordinary and mysterious
particulars of the trial of a woman named Caroline Le-
reuth. Site was charged with having stabbed the Sicur
I)clsconrt with a sharp instrument, with an intention
of putting him to death. The crime was designated as
aiding and assisting in suicide ; but it appears from the
testimonv of the parties themselves, that the man was
too timid to stab him..elf, and prevailed on the woman to
take intoxicating liquors to excess to induce her to com-
mit the act. Dvlaeourt, in his defence, did all he could
to save the woman ; declaritv that, she being aft:aid, he
seized herb and, andstruck it against bislx atom ; but the Court
sentenced her to ten years' solitary imprisonment and the
pillory. On hearing her sentence, she wept bitterly, and
said she would prefer death ; but on being informed by
the President, that she had three days to appeal to the
Court of Cassation, she resumed her firmness and was
perfectly composed.—(She had since, appealed to that
Court for a revision .4* her sentence).
Mails from Hamburg and Holland have also arrived.
The Papers brought by theta contain the following arti-
cles :

rinperor of Russia hus now invited his Muje.ty the Kind of

%SENN/L. Jests: S. —The escape of Generals Lallemand and
Savory, whom the Etigiivb had prisoners at Malta, has excited
some semoition hem

The Special Commission at Ely has closed its pro-
ecedim.7. [See page 156.] Great 'credit is due to
the Government, particularly to that branch of it which
more immediately presides over the internal state of the
country, the Home Department, for the vigour with
which it has acted in putting down the disturbances ;
for the promptitude and decision with which it has pro-
ceeded against the chief offenders ; for its determination
to bring them before the bar of their country ; and finally,
for having listened to the dictates of humanity, after
having satisfied the claims of
.justice. The whole of
these trials afford abundant matter fin- reflection to all
classes of society. It does not appear that distress was
the cause that instigated any of the rioters. None of
them were out of employ; nay, some of them were in
good circumstances. The rioters issued out of public-
houses to commence the disturbances ; they had money
enough to spend in drink ; and thus not only so much of
their time wax wasted, which might have been employed
In honest industry, but so much money was lavished
which might have made their flunilies comfortable. Not
that we mean to say, that distress would have been any
justification of such outrages--and besides, they are of all
means that could be devised the least likely to put an
end to or relieve distress. The meanest capacity can un-
derstand this : that to destroy the property of another, is
to ruin the man who, had he preserved his property,
nikAt have been in a condition to give employment to
the pour. Let the lower classes bear this always in mind,
that no person has or can have an interest in their being
unetaployed,.or being inadequately rewarded. When em-
ployawnt becomes slacker than u►ual, and wages reduced,
it proceeds from. causes over which neither govern-
ment nor indisidnals have any control. But there is
another point in. w hich the subject is to be viewed.—
Distress is nut and cannot be removed by riot ; but riot
is sure tc. in r.:c•e the individuals concerned, in ruin. The
ems of the law is strung enough to lay hold of them.
They must be punished, because obedience to the laws
must be enforced ; and their punishment is universally
approved of. But it is not themselves only that they in-
jure, but their lanais. A son who.is the support of his
soother, and who engages in riots, involves his mother in
uistress ; a &titer deprives his chiklren of their protector ;
a husband exposes his will: to the horrors of want. A
rioter then can neither be a good sou, a good husband,
nor a gad father ; he mast be a thol, be,...mise he takes
the must eliccumi way to aggravate his distress ; he must
be a dishonest man, because he would inyude and injure
the property of his neighbour.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER.

We are happy to find, that there is no just ground fOr
alarm to the commercial world upon the subject of the late
regulations in the ports of Russia. In our last Paper we
inserted a letter from the British Consul at Petersburg,
mentioning that the British trade would be in future
subject to very severe restrictions. The matter has been
taken up by the Russian Consul here. The correspon-
dence between the Governor of the Russian Company in
Loudon and tine lb:ssian Consul was posted up at Bats:ill's
Coffee-house yesterday : the thriller apologizes for making
public Mr. Bayley's letter, which he admits gave a wrong
impression to the public mind ; but that he would caution
Mr. Bayley from using such language in future; that
the regulations in Russia were well known by our trade;
and that the agitated feelings of the j.;:olic regarding
the reported severe restvictioas would soon subside. Mr.
A. de Dubotchefsky, in reply, as. erts, tllu, he finds it an
imperious duty immediately to remove the impression
front the public, of any Laxtility or misunderstandingl
on the part of Russia and that, us Mr. Thornton &lined
any further explanations, he immetliately transmits the
whole correspondence to the City, to prove that the best
understanding exists between the two Courts.
Ministers have received oflisial dispatches from his
Excellency Sir J. Leith, at Barbadoes, dated the 30th of
April, containing the details of the insurrection which
had been happily suppressed, and with the particulars of
which the Public are already acquainted. It is now dis-
covered, that but for the premature breaking out of the
insurrection on the 14th instead of the 17th, (which, it
seems, was the day fixed on,) it would have been much
more formidable than it proved to be.—There have been
symptoms of insurrection both at Antigua and Goads-
loupe ; but they were seasonably suppressed, and every
thing remained tranquil when the Flora sailed.
The white population of Barbadoes is considerably
greater in proportion to its size than any other of the
West India lamas. Hence it is presumed, that if the
negroes had the hardihood to enter upon their rebellious
project there, the danger is greater in the other islands,
where the proportion of the black population is so much
more numerous. The negroes of Barbadoes are flair
to one of the white people ; whilst in Jamaica they are
as eleven to one ; in Antigua as ten to one; and at St.
Kitt's as nearly thirty to one ;—and on an avt rage
throughout the whole of the West India islands, as ten
to one of the white population.
Extract of a letter from Malta,. slated lath May, via
Marseilles :—" It is said (indeed promulgated by Govern-
mint),that the Bcy of Tunis has lost his head by his own
son, for liberatino. the Christian slaves ; and that in the
absence of the Britishs fleet, they bud equipped their fri-
gates, and were determined to take every thing they met
wah.—lt is currently reported, that one Engiish vessel
has been taken, and the crew murdered."
Lord Exmouth has succeeded, it is said, with the
Barbary States, in prevailing upon them to liberate above
2500 Christian slaves, principally Neapditans,
and Sardinians ; 1700 had been aAually sent to their
respective homes, and the dungeons were expected to be
cleared in a few weeks.—This is good ; but subsequent
events have shewn, that force, anti not negociation, must
put an end to this horrible system.
A conspiracy was lately discovered at Bucharest, which
some of the lowest of the people had formed against
the life of the Prince, and for the overthrow of the
Government. Five of the principal ringleaders are in
custody.

Dispatches have been received from Sir G. Cockburn,
dated St. Helena, April 21. We understand, they state
the arrival of Sir 11. Lowe, who had taken charge of
Buonaparte; and that Sir George, having thus trans-
ferred his trust, was preparing to return to England.
The Havannah fr;gnte, Capt. G. W. Hamilton, has
arrived at Portsmouth from St. Helena, whence she
sailed on the 23d of April, with Col. Mark Wilks, pas-
senger, who had been, preceding the arrival there front
England of Lieut. Gen. Sir IL Lowe, two years Gover-
nor of that Island. Buonaparte was in good health, but
more dissatisfied than ever with his situation. He has
sent by the Huvannah a string of complaints to the
Prince Regent, upon the subject of the personal regu-
lations to which he has been compelled to conform. The
Huvannah brings an account, that on the Sd inst. off
Fayal, she parted company with the Ferret sloop of war,
of 12 guns, Capt..l. Stirling (2), which had left St. He-
lena on the 27th of March titr England; bat on crossing
the Line, she fell in with a ship under Spanish colours,
having a forgo slaves on board, which, on her near
approach to speak to her,lited into the Ferret, and killed
two her nu•n. An action ensued; and, alter a running
tight of about fair hours, at the moment that Capt.
Stirling was preparing. to board, she struck. The
Ferret afterwards proceeded with her to Sierra Leone,
where it is expected she will be condemned as a pirate.
The Ferret had five men killed and wounded.
Letters of the 15tti inst. from Paris mention, that
Count Toreno and oth.er Spanish 'Aber:des, so long dea-
tained in Paris, have at iength been set at liberty.
The trial of the " Patriots of 1816" is to take pl.see on
the 27th inst. They • are twenty-eight in nu,..eier, and
belong to the lowest ciiss of the people.
By the accounts hi. the 131-usscls and German Papers,
the emigrations from Switaerland to .de United States
continue ; and the class of hmigr,e,es appear to be highly

Royal couple, immediately after the ceremony.
