Ve this day give the trial of the Gaoler of 11.
cheater.—That thePuinistcrial prints should before
trial defend the butt, if his black kingship were
denounced by an opposition member would not sur.
prise us, but that eller his conviction they should
become the apologists •of the miscreants brutality,
does astonish us, yet such is .the fact—and what
can the English public think of those newspapers,
that can attempt an excuse for such cruelties—as
are sworn to, and not contradicted by the witnesses
—nay even confirmed to his eternal disgrace by Mr.
Eaten, (for his name ought to be imprinted on the
memory of every one), the surgeon of the prison,
who allowed his medical appointment, to be made
instrumental to the vengeance of the wretch!

The-insanity-under which the Murquis of Lon-
donderry committed the fatal act, was established
beyond all doubt. Many circumstances, in them-
selves considered trifling at the time, have since
transpired, and have afford the most conclusive evi-
dence. Had it been possible or decorous to have
demanded his Majesty's testimony, we are informed
'that that illustrious personage would have statetl Ito
conviction, that a great change had taken .plate in
Lord lanulonderry's general demeanour and con..
versatiom This is affirmed to'have struck his Ma-
jesty more particularly on Friday the 9th, when his
Lordship waited upon him to take leave, before his
Majesty's departure for Scotland. Ott the same day.
his Lordship, atier walking in a quick manner up
and down Cockspur-street, suddenly addressed the
'master of'the British Coffee-house, who was stand-
ing on the step of his hotel, and asked if Sir Edmund
Nagle was in the house. The master rerlieilin the
negative, upon which his Lordship iesisted that he
was, in a way very unusual with him, and upon
again being assured that he was not, he beat his
hands together, and walked away.
By the Brazil packet, letters from Rio de Janeiro
of the 4th, from Pernambuco of the 26th, and from
Bahia of the 21st of June, have arrived. Those
from Rio de Janeiro being only one day later than
the sailing of the Beaver ship of war, do not convey
any additional intelligence. In Pernambuco every
thing was tranquil. They had elected the members
ter toe Cortes or General Assembly at Rio, who
were about to repair to that capital. Bahia was also
tranquil. It appears that the accession by•this pro-
vince to the measure of convoking a General Assem-
bly at Rio, for the purpose of ascertaining the
sentiments of the provinces respecting the continu-
ance of their dependence on Portugal, will not be
muds longer withheld.. Arrangements for a.public
declaration to that effect was secretly making by the
authorities, and it was expected before the end of
the month that ;an intimation would be given to
the Portuguese troops, by which they had been so
long overawed, that they must either allowthe 6T-
neral opinion to declare itself freely, or embark fur
Portugal.
DVSLIN, Auc. 11.—It is with sincere sorrow we
announce the sudden death of Sir S. Auchmuty, by
a fall from his horse, while tiding yesterday in the
Phenix-park with Col. Thornton. It is suspected
that he was sub.,ect to fits, and that having been
seized with one he fell from his horse. He was car-
ried to the Royal Hospital, but without any signs of
lifee-he was dead. Sir Samuel succeeded General
Baird as head of the staff in Ireland, the office of
Commander-in-Chief, held by Sir David, having
been abolished. He was previously in good health,
sal attended the theatre on the preceding night
during the performance of the tragedy of Walla.
His death has cast a deep gloom over all this city.
Preparations had been made for the celebration of
the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day, his land-
ing here, &e. with a review in the Park, &c. this
day, but they will be all, suspended by this melan-
choly event. This lamented hero was one of the
most gallant and distinguished officers in the service.
He was equally esteemed and beloved in professional
and private life. He was Knight Grand Cross of
the Bath, and Colonel of the 76th regiment of foot.
The East !tidies and South America were the prin•
cipal scenes of his military exploits. He was in the
tifiih year of his age.

Salvador Gabarda, one of the guards who assassi-
nated their officer, Lieut. Colonel Lamb:Moro, was
executed at Aladsid on the 31st ult. at noJn, and in
the presence of the whole garrison under arms, and of
the battalion composed of the guards who remained
&WIWI to the constitution. lie was first publicly
degraded, then strangled according to the Spanish
custom on a stool fixed on the scaffOld, andby means
of a screw which renders death instantaneous. Ills
right hand was afterwards cut otr, pursuant to the
terms of his sentence. lie made an attempt to
address the people, but having been desired to de-
ist, he obeyed, and sat down of his own accord tat
the fatal bllndl.
