MONDAY. OCTOBER Ir.

We last week gave an account of what passed
at the Inquest, held at Oldham, on the body of
John Lees, as far as to the end of Saturday.
—The proceedings since Lave been totally unim-
portant, forasmuch: as the numerous witnesses ex-
um;ned, orty confirmed the thrice-told story of the
wanton cruelties committed on the disgraceful day
from which the Inquest had its origin. To this
observation, however, was one exception in the evi.
deuce of a Mr. Simmons, a Surgeon, who deposed
that it was impossible that John Lees should have
died of the wounds he received. On being cross-
examined, however, he confessed, that he had never
seen the deceased either alive or dead. and modestly
asserted his belief, that even under those circuits-
stances be was more competent to give a correct
opinion than either of those Medical Gentlemen
who had attended him during his illness and opened
the body after Lees's death !! ! Mr. Ashworth,
the Barrister, has been present, and amply
proved that in addition to a tremendous stock of
gross impudence and total absence of •' those cour-
tesies which used to exist among gentlemen,' he is
possessed of that daring spirit which will prompt
hint to assert that as law which every body knows
never was law ; and as the Coroner, either from a
wi,h to be well with the delinquents, or from a ti-
midity of his own knowledge, assents to his dictum
in every thing ; we anticipate that this !ugliest will
not be productive of the good we had hoped—we
are happy, however, to remember that this is not
the deraier resort for Justice, but that if the differ-
ent Indictments fiir wilful mur,ler should be evaded,
there is yet abundant matter to ground indictments
under Lord Ellenborough's Act for cutting and
maiming, a conviction under which (unit.= an event
were to take place which we dare not contemplate ,

oc•r. i.

the consequence of) would produce a tapitul pu-
nishment.

The Coroner has had the body taken up, in order
that he might have the view of it required by law,
us suggested by Mr. Harmer on a tionier day. A
discussion between the Coroner and Mr. Harmer,
respecting the appointment of the latter, made such
an impression in Court, that, in less than an hour
and a hilt' afterwards, molly 200 inlikbitants of
Oldham signed a requisition to Mr. Harmer, to at-
tend the jolliest on their behalf: it would have
been signed by many hundreds, but time would not
allow. Mr. Harmer also produced a full authority
from the parents of the deceased on Thurtlay
morning, a copy of which will 1):1 found in another
part of our Paper.

We have received the Paris papers of WO:lmlay
last. On Friday the King, beihre Mass, gave pri.
vote audience to the Spanish Ambassador, and after.
wards took an airing in his carriage, and visited the
Duchess of Berry. The French Government, it is
said, is occupied with the lieferni of the Code of
Criminal Instruction, so far as concerns the security
of general liberty. Accounts front Madrid, of the
.21lit ult. state, that the sentences relative to the
conspiracy of the Ex-General Porkier, approved by
his Majesty, include ev individuals. Several
Officers of rank arc sentenced, par co* ntanzace, to be
shot in the back, and their property confiscated ;
but they may be heard in their defence, if they pre-
sent themselves. They will not avail themselves of
this boon, for, as their doom is fiXed, it wculd be
folly, as exposing themselves to the malice of their
enemies. 'twenty other officers arc sentenced to be
imprisoned, some for two, and others for ten years.
The number acquitted amounts to 148, nearly al.l
officers, among whom are three Colonels and three
Lieutenant Colonels. The numbers who di. 11 in the
Isle of Leon, on the Bth ult. were 40, on the 9th
32, on the 10th 40, and on the 11 th 40. The
number of the sick is increased by distress.
Nothing is decided with reTect to the etTedition.
It must no doubt be postponed. On the lath of
last month thirty-one persons died of the fever at
Cadiz. Private intelligence mentions, that a mamr
is negociating regarding the Independent Govern-
ment of South America, Ferdinand declaring that
the Government of the United States must agree
not to ree.ognize any of the Insurgent Govern-
ments,befuce he will ratify the cession of the Floridas.
This decision, it is said, was forwarded to Washing
ton by Mr. Forsayth, in the dispatches by the Hornet
sloop of war. It is probable the American Govern,
ment will, in the end, take the Floridas, anti
acknowledge the independence of the Spanish Colo-
nies.—The French Five per Cents on Saturday were
69f 95e.

Wednesday a Mail arrived from liamburgh, with
Papers to the 29th tilt. They bring intelligence of
the Ra►ilication of the Convention between Sweden
and Denmark by the Plenipotentiaries of the re-
spective Courts. Accounts from Stockholm men-
tion, that his Swedish Majesty and his son Prince
Oscar have, during their tour through Sweden,
been every where received with enthusiasm. At
Fallen they descended into the great mine, where
the Royal flail, as it is called, tre hundred flitbouas
under ground, was illuminated with 1000 wax
tapers. High encomiums are passed on the affa-
bility anti deportment of the Emperor of Russia at
Abu, on his return from Tomes. The Prince Re-
gent has had the military establishment in Han.•,•er
diminished 16 battalions, which is a considerable
