31,000. This body was taken up by Colonel Milnes on the
Aiodavery, as reported in bis dispatch (6) of the 19th, trans.
Knitted to Mr. Adam, and pursued down the Rajapoor Ghaut
into Candeish, by a detachment of 390 men under the cont-
nand of Captain Swayne, of the lath regiment Madras Na.tive Infantry; at this place they were taken up by the Vat-
c:tookt,r, whose own account of his proceeding I have the
lionour to enclose. He states himself to have taken many
n-ses. but does not mention any loss on either side During
the period of this pursuit, the body of freebooters that had
been fortuing in Candeish was defeated by Captain Davies.—
On lust receiy ing authentic intelligence of the commence.
went of this part the insurrection, I suggested to Mr. Russell,
that the reformed horse should, if possible, be prepared to
c:ieck it. The reformed horse were then acting against the
Niiks in Herar, but orders for their recall were immediately
transmitted and as promptly executed, so that the first divi-
sion of them arrived on the frontier of Candeish just as the
banditti were assuming a frangible form. lhe gallant con
diet of the Nizam's horse, and the complete route of the in.

surgents that ensued, have already been repoi ted to your
Excellency. The fugitives from this defeat joined the party
from the auutlawrid, and shared in the lussec it met with at

the hands of the Vinehuokur.
It appeals to have been the intention of loth parties to
• form a junatiau, after which, by accounts of the prisoners,
thea were to have come to Nautili; but probably their plan
was to have plundered the country, and to have taken advan-
tage of any opening that might attin d them a prospect of
success against any of our detachineats or their supplies.
A body of the insurgents has long been mentioned as hay-
descended into die south of the Colman ; they have lately
moved north as far as Itooce Aslititince, and the tear of their
approach has occasioned the desertion of the villages on the
Item•roarl ; two companies of Native Infirmly marched from
rooste' this morning to keep open the communication.

DUISLIN, Nov. 1.

This very interesting t .11 I OH Friday at Oreen-Ntreet,
and occupied the attenipui of the I..sitirt flout half past 10 in
the morning until 1141 f past H in the aftersineal. The following

Mr. al' N Atte, who was the only counsel fur the prosecu-
tion, stated the case at some length. He said that the pleas-
ing but serious duty of vindicating the purity and fair tame
of a gentleman and a friend, and of bringing an infamous
idelinqueut to public justice, had devolved upon

lation that such atiocities as lw bad acknowledged the pm -
petration of, could be the acts of a being possessing the
human farm. During the whole course of his t Mr. M'N's)
professional experience, he never hail occasion, in so import-
ant a case its time pre sent, to stand alone against sa much
forensic talent and knowledge as lie had to encumiter in this
case. His client, a gentleman by birth, education, and for-
tune, whose life bad been outrageously assaulted, had only
the weak but zealous advocacy of a single individual, who
bad outlived all his old friends, and, %sun almost a brokwt
heart, some of his &ming ones i chile a oaiprit, covered with
turpitude, selleonvicted of murder, robbery, and countless

of professinnal talent and experience, whose advocacy the
first man in the bind might felicitate himself on possessing,
if alien a person were to be brought, by any fatality, to the
bar of that Com t. So happy was nie convict present now
before the Jury in that repeet, thai he hail secured the aid of
three of Isis Majesty's Counsel, oho hail been regularly li-
censed to plead against the Crown, in his behalf. And to
these Ire added a gentleman (Mr. Greene) whom Mr. M'Nslly
"would select, above all others, for the defender of his non
character or life, were tither to be placed in danger. Op-
posed to this formidable phalanx he stood alone, and he
could not hut express his gratitude to Mr. O'Connor for the
confidence lie han placed in him. That confidence afforded
also a convincing proof of the collations purity and impreg-
nability of that gentlentan'a cause. True. Mr. Nl.Nally said,
lie had a formidable array of bar-talitit to encounter, but he
felt, that he had nothing to tear. His client's character and
ea.sse, like a light-house on a rock, stood immovable to the
tremendous but ineffectual assaults of the powerful elements
with which it was sur • led % and he felt confident, that
the verdict of the Jury before hint would convince the world

MOMIPMO

Judge, for whom language could not supply him terms to ex-
press his respect, and by a Jury composed of the very highest
characters in the county of Meath, who were convinced of
his innocence, even before be entered upon any sort of de-
fence ; such was the monstrous mid improbable nature of the
accusation against him, and so complete was the failure of his
prosecutors in their attempt to adduce any thing in support
of it. Under these circumstances he considered it a duty
he owed to society, to public justice, and to himself, to insti-
tute the present prosecution.
After the informations of the prisoner had been proved
and read, Mu. O'Connor was called. He said he did not
come forward to vindicate his character, which all the in-
genuity and malice of his persecutors was unable to injure,
but to shelter society against the machinations and perjury of I
hired conspirators. He went over the entire evidence given
at Trim by the prisoner and his accomplices, and declared
that it was a tissue of the most palpable and atrocious false-
hood, from beginning to end. Mr. O'Connor swore positively,
that he had no knowledge of prisoner whatever—that he did
not even ever see his person before the trial at Trim in August
last—that he never bent him any message, never had any
interview with him—that he never met him with or without
any party of rolibers, or party of ally kind in October lai 2,
or since or before that time—that he never divided any
plunder with Waring in 102, at Dangan, or at any other time
or place since, or before—and never was concerned iii the
Galway mail robbery, or in any other robbery, with the pri-
soner or any other person at Hangar or elsewhere in Ibl2,
or prior or subsequent to that period.
Cross-examined by Mr. Gould.
Pray, Mr. O'Connor, of what religion are you?—What
!
Yes, Sir, what religion arc you of?-1 fancy that will puz-
zle me.

Whet! to ask you what religion you are of will puzzle
you!—On you give me to understand that that answer is to be
recorded?--If you mean what sect I am.
I ask you again, Sir, of what religion are you--do you be-
lieve in a Supreme Being believe there is a Supreme
Being.
You believe in the existence of a God —then, Sir, of what
religion are you?-1 have asked you that imestion tour times.
ant sure it is a plain questiou.—lf you mean sect, I will
answer you.
Are yon a Deist ? --(Here Mr. M'Nally interfered, on be-
half of his client, to stop this line of examination.)
Mr. Gould.-1 would not, for the world of woi Ids, submit
to interruption in use examination. I ask again, Sir, are you
a Deist---do yon believe in our Saviour Jesus Christ be-
lieve, only as an histon ical fact, that there was such a person.
Do you, or do you nut, believe in his divine mission, and
that lie was the Son of God ?—I do not.

My Lord, said Mr. O'Connor, I may be subject to pain and
penalties for answering these questions. I have a suit at law,
in which the greater part of my property is involved, and
these AIIVAers may he brought against me at a future day.
Judge Daly.— You nipy safely answer the questions. There
are no pains or penalties ilt these countries fur the religious
opinions of any man.
Mr. Gould.-1 ask you again, do you believe in the di-
vine mission of our Saviour Ido not; but I will be a
pattern to those who do, by telling the troth.
Mr. Goold.—Then von believe him to be an Impostor
do not I 1 believe there wan such a person, but that he was
the dupe to the a ntlinsiasin of his own imagination.

µ'ill you then swear on the Old Testament %—kGreat hesi-
tation.)

Please to answer Poe, 3lr. O'Connor ; do you believe that
the Ohl Testament is false and untrue % --1 do nut beileva it
true vxcept as to historical facts.
Then you do not buliew in the divine interim ente of the
Almighty God in favour of the people called the Jews ?-1 du
hot,

By a Juror.—Do yon believe there is a God ?—I believe in
a Supreme Power. lam afraid these questions will militate
against me hereafter.
_ _

Judge Daly.—l have told you there is no cognizance in
Courts, nor no pains nor penalties tire a man's religious opi-
nion. I shall now ask you a few questions. There is no
doubt but you were tried and acquitted at Trim. How many
informanions do you think were sworn against yon—were
there one, two, or three ?—There was one sworn against rue
by Michael Owens, and another by the man at the bar.
[ln the course °Ellis cross examination, Mr. O'C. mentioned
that he is engaged in a work on the Bible.]
Mr. Gould asked if Mr. O'Connor was not interested in the
conviction of the prisoner:
Mr. O'Connor answered, that he had ne personal feeling
against the poor wretch, whom Ire regarded merely as the
agent of conspirators in an elevated rank of lite. The pro-
secution brought him nothing but trouble and expense.
Mr. Gould asked whether he did not desire to punish a man
who would have deprived him, if he-could have done so, of
his life and character.

Mr. O'Connor.—l repeat, I have no vindictive (celing to-
wards that unfortunate, wicked, and contemptible creature.
My object is public justice—l seek to expose falsehood and
vindicate truth, which I would not myself violate for worlds.
Do you not feel, then, that a verdict of conviction, pro-
nounced by that Jury, would be useful iu establishing soar
character i—Mr. O'C. laid his hand upon his breast rod re-
peated, "I do not ! I expect that the gentlemen in that box
will discharge their duty honestly and impartially, but I eau_
not be affected by their decision. My reputation stands too
high —my character rests on too solid a basis, to requite any
such acsistance. I feel that lam above imputation."
Did you not hear Mr. M`Yally state to the Jury, that yon
prosecuted the prisoner in consequence of insinuations tin own
out against your character subsegnent to your trial at Trim?
—I did; but I instantly observed tc the gentleman who sat
next me, and who is still in my hearing and presence, and
who is a mere stranger to me, " That is all wrong; Mr.
/11‘Nally is mistaken ;my character wants no ;it is too
elevated to require any thing of the kind; I proceed solely
on public grounds."
Martin was the next witness, and he denied all
that was alledged respecting himself by Owens and Warren.

With the examination of these persons the case for the
prosecution closed.
Mr. Burrows, on behalf of the prisoner, entered into a long
and elaborate defence, in which lie animadverted with great
severity on what he termed " the suspicious attachment of
Mr. O'Connor to such abandoned rufous as murderers and
mail coach robbers." He called upon the jury to do justice
to their °en feeliugs and outraged society, by their acquittal
of the prisoner, who, however base and tniworthy his charac-
ter might be, was yet under the protection of the Court.
Joseph Jameson and John Deering, Esqrs., were produced
to prove that Mr. O'Connor had given Michael Owens a good
character at the well known trial at the Cavan Assizes.
One of these gentlemen was counsel for the prosecution, and
the other counsel for the defence nu that occasion.
Christopher Gilloohery, who was assistant gaoler at Cavan,
in ISt f, stated that lie saw Mr. O'Connor at Owens' trial, and
that lie evinced great solicitude for him.
William Allen deposed, that Mr. O'Connor bad interested
himself for Owens when he was under sentence of death.

defence. Witness :replied, that it was not. Yoll are ones,
rejoined Mr. O'Connor, turning a traitor to your friend who
would spill the last drop of his blood for you. Ut which
alines' declared that he could say nothing of M'Keon that
would not do him more harm than good.
Mr. Thompson, the solicitor to the post office, was next
caleit, and delivered the same testimouy which lie had given
at the trial at l'rina.
Mr. M• Nally now rose, and addressed the Court in a speech
of great length and of considerable ingenuity to evidence,
after which
Judge Daly delivered a most minute and linaioons charge
to the Jury. I! is lordship occupied upwards of 411 bear and a
liallin recapitulating the evidence on both sides; and refer-
ring to that of Mr. O'Connor, felt constrained to observe,
that from the tendency of the doctrines which he, Mr. O'Con.
nor, held, his disbelief in Divine Revelation, and in the mis-
sion of our Saviour, his evidence was, his Lordship would not
say,altogethei disentitled to credit a ith the jury ; but be would
say, it ehoutd be received bathe jury with diminished credit.
In expatiating upon the unchristian doctrines entertained by.
Mr. O'Connor, his Lordship frequently and involuntarily shook
his bead ; lie was evidently oppres.ed, iu common with all in
Court, by the painful feelings whidi an avowal of such doc-
trines and principles ass calculated to excite. Mr. O'Connor
was engaged iii writing a work upon the Holy Liblel-11as !
such a work, un such a book from such a pen, was little suit-
ed to confer credit on Mr. o,Conlior, or pro iuce benefit nithe
world. His Lordship concluded one of the most excellent
and feeling charges ever delivered in a Court of Justice, by
stating to theJitry, that credit to the evidence of two witnesses
was accessary to sustain a verdict uf cons iction upon a charge
of perjury.
At length the Jun retired, and in about 15 minutes returned
a verdict of—Nut 4niltp
The verdict ass received by a deal of clappingol bands

Judges reprehended as higldy indecorous and improper.—

FRENCH GEXERALII.—By a letter from Washington we learn.
that the speculation of the French Genetal. Office', for a settlement
at Mobile, is entirely pacific and agricultural, though the vicinity of

sults. A negociation was managed by Mr. Lee, the late American

one ordered to be banished from the united kingdoms of
Portugal, Brazil, and Algarve; with thy• threat of being
banished to one of the fortresses of Aft ica for life, in case of
contravention; three condemned to be transported to An-
gola, or Mozambique; 12 sentenced to be punished with
death. This sentence was executed on the 18th of this
mouth. The greatest order an I tranquillity prevailed. The
countenances of all the citizens eshilsited the decided ex-
pressuou of the horror which, in the midst of a
nation distinguished for its Unshaken sentiments of
loyalty to the Sovereign, is justly inspired by the abomin-
able crime of a handful of individuals, who, deaf to the
voice and dictates of both Divine and human laws. endea.
',oared to plunge us into the horrors of snatchy.
A titivate letter from Lisbon gives the following par-
ticulars respecting the execution of the conspirators
Gene: al Fs iere and seven others were hanged and Wont,
and their ashes thrown into the Tagus ; but the bodies of the
remaining four (whose guilt was not so strikingly marked
as that of their associates) were delivered to their friends for
Interment. Gen. Gomez Is iere was executed near the Fort
St. Julian, in which he had been imprisoned. He died with
great fortitude and resignation, acknowledging his guilt and
the justice of his sentence. The others were executed in the
Campo di Saint Anna, on flue other (the eastern) side of Lis-
bon. The repentant traitors were attended to their respec-
tive places of execution by a !mintier of Monks, who very
becomingly did every thing in their power to prepare the
unhappy men for due pious submission to their awful fate.
The slowness of the execution innst have greatly aggravated
their sudetings. Only one was executed at a time ; and
full six hours were consumed cue the close of the dreadful
scene took place--the last who were in succession to ender,
witnessing previously the agonies of those who died before
them.'
The charge bronght against them was, that they had form-
ed a plat for getting rid of the existing Government, and sub.
*Witting a revolutionary one, under the title °fa" Regener-
ating Cou!•il ; as a preliminary step to the accomplishment of
which purpose they had meditated the assassination of Mar-
shal Beresford and the Pot toeuese Regency. One of the
conspirators, however, denied that they intended to establish
a Republican Goverment. Their objects, according to his
account, were, to prevent the rumoured partition of their
country ; to rescue it from the influence of foreign nations
and particularly that of England : and finally, to establish a
constitutional monarchy. The intention of commencing with
the assassination of Marshal Beresi.ord, was distinctly avow-
ed by some of the culprits. One of them represented the
idea of a" Regenerating Conned as a fiction, or as it would
here be called a hoax, contrived to confer greater credit
upon their project in the estimation of a certain class of po-
liticians. Ribeiro Pinto, who seems to have been a sort of
Factotum in the affair, expressly acquits Baron Ehen of any
participation in it.
