The Attorney-General thus addressed the Court with
great feeling, and drelined to produce any evidence.
The Juts. by the direction of the Chief Harm, found a
Verdict otNotlluiltv.
The Chief Harem thus addressed the prisoners :—As his
Majesty's Attoisiey-General has (*rued no evidence, you are
acquitted. I hope yon, and evciy one in Court, have heard
the Attorney. General's Immune and impressive address, and
that y ou will never forget the danger its which you have been,
or the tenderness that has delivered yon : for if evidence hrd
otkzed, I feel myself booed to say, from the papers
laid before the Magistrates, now !rehire me, that I must now
have been proammcing up n you the sentence of death. His
Olajesty's Attorney..oerieral has taken compassion o you,
and saved your uses; try every slay to reform yourselves.
If you derive the proper advantage from the experience you
Lave wow had, yam,' lives hereafter will Ire humble, guarded,
and industrious. Go bouu•:utd Mess God.

The Solicitor General prayed tho jnitginent of the Court,
and Mr. Denman remarked, that lie had tap sentiment To .!%.
press beyond a hope. that if ony neth.tppy spit it of disaffection
had pervaded this part orthe country, the example which Is ill
been shown of the n:ode of administering its justice would
operate to destroy the c.il.
The nineteen who hid withdrawn their plen of Not Giiiby
were then hroaght sup, together with Jeremiah Brandt' th,
William Turner, Isaac Ludlam the elder, and George Weight-
titan, who had been convicted of the high treason charged iii
the indictment.

gisestion being pod to them, whether they had any
thing to say %thy the Court should not pats sentence upon them,
that they should die accenting to law, Isaie Ludlam implored
mercy, and witil trawl' solemnity of 'thinner &chard, that his
failure life, if spared, should never intitive regret in the ds
of those who were the authors of that mercy.
The Lord Chief' Baron after hav ire addl.' tied the prisoners
in literalist impeekive 'winner passed the dreadful sentence
°film law, epos the font unhappy men found gully which was
'that they severally be carried hack from the place from which
'they came, and that they be thence drawn on an linrdk to
some plaoeof execution, where they should be handed by the
neck, and their heads stveredfroni their bodies, which should
be divided into four parts, and disposed of as his Majesty
should direct. Might the Lord God bare compassion art
heir souls.
The Court immediately adjourned. Several of the prisoners were
much affected and wept bitterly.
The Lord Chid baron expressed his personal gratitude for the
attention paid by the Jury throughout the whole course of these pro-
ceedings and he was instructed by the three hawned Judges who had
presided there to express the same sentiment on their part.
It is understood that, of those pnsooers thus condemned, the 19
wbo plaided guilty will certainly bare their sentences commuted;
and dud Weightman, perhaps Ludlam, will not be executed.

FRENCH REFUGEES.-The

part of a private letter from Paris,iiven in the
.Algenteine Zeilung of the Bth instant, as an extract
from a Swiss Paper:—" The recent accounts from the
United States, which have a particular interest for
France, resolve into the following facts :—Buonaparte's
former Adjutant-General, Jourdain, who was tajen
prisoner at the battle of Waterloo, has arrived at hi-
ladelphia. Caulincourt, the well known Duke of
Vicenza, Buonaparte's Master of the Horse, has trans-
ferred a fortune of five millions of francs, which is
applied to the purchase of extensive property. Van.
(laminae also intends to make great purchases in Amer-
ica Mr. W. Lee, formerly American Consul at
Bourdeaux, who after the battle of Waterloo, assisted
a great number of the French to emigrate to America,
is appointed by the President, Governor of the Missis-
sippi territory in which a large French Colony is
forming on the banks of the Tinibechy. To this set-
tlement men of letters and artists are invited to re-
pair by M. Lacanal, formerly member of the Imperia-
Institute, and advantageous terms offered them. Th-i
situation chosen for the new colony is excellent, anei
auitel to the cultivation of all the productions of flat
South of Europe. The climate is similar to that oc
A•tdalusia.
It is nineteen years since so few ships were in the
Tyne in the month of October, Only 25 colliers
remain between Peggy's Hole and Wallis's Dock, in
Shield's harbour. Freights are•plentiful in the Baltic,
and ships that went to seek theni will meet with car-
goes of ill &swirls.; so much bN trod, improved
