arising from the impurity of the blood, he has been led by
kind Providence to the discovery of a Medicine which clam-
pieatly eradicates these Diseases. As he is not a man of
independem.e, he intended not to make it 'known till a sum
was Subscribed equal to its value : but the feelings of Ilium-

The LORD CHIEF JURTICE.
Mr. Justice DAY.

The two Memorials of the
State Pri,oners, addressed to his
Excellency the Lord Lieutenant,
were shewn to him. Upon reading them, Dr.-Tre-
vor says he was'applied to by the prisoners to permit.
them to meet, in order to prepare their Memorials
to the Lord Lieutenant, but he was not warranted
to allow such meeting ; he, however, offered to them
that their Memorials shOuld be sent from room to
room ' for signatures, and to give every facility to
signing the same; and it appears that these Memo-
rials were accordingly signed.

Dr. Edward Tre.
vor, sworn.

Says he was appointed in 1798 Inspeaor and Me-
dicai mtviidant in the G4ol i 1 Kitmainharn.

has taken the utmost pains to see that -the provisions
for the prisoners were of the best quality. He has
visited the gaol, since July 23d last, every day some-''times two or three times ,a day. Visited the apart-
ments
of
~every State Prisoner daily for several
naw t its after. He afterwards, for reasons that might
be _Useful to the State, fitted up an office its the
gaol,'in order to see the prisoners there, rather than
go to their rooms. Whilst he visited the rooms of
tha pi is:int.:is, he was in the habit of conveying let-
ters from them to Government, and, to their friends,
and communicating with. Government on. such sub-
; jeds as the prisoners desired. _ When.he established
the office, one of the prisoners- Mason) wished
to see him. He, (Dr. 'Trevor) sent to to come
down to the,office, which Mason refused, and,Wrote
to him three most impertinent letters. Mason was
ill some time afterwards, ,and he attended him :
told him, notwithstand4ig his letters, 11e should be'
treated with every humanity and attehtion,.and took
uncommon pains with Mason, to prevent hut hay-
ins anyc44s,e of complaint, as he foiind Masbn to be
an extritgdinary ill-tempered man. •On a subse-
quent visit, after he had left Masools room (a letter
had been delivered in the mean time to Mason),.he

sent for witness.- Mason was then in an outrageous
passion, and exclaimed against Government. Wit-
Less ,was induced, by his language, to tell him, tat
if he continued to traduce the Government, he would
be obliged' to put him in irons; and if he were w
ute. the personal langdage to him that he had ex-
pressed; in any,other place, that he (witness) would
pull his nose; but that in a gaol both their hands
Were tied. His refiedions or Government were,.
for being committed to prison. 'Witness was anxi-
ous that this man should not suppose him to be ca-
pable of resentment towards him, and therefore sent
to him to offer him every accommodation. His
Constant effort has been to make all the prisoners
as comfortable as possible; has,gone personally to
both the butcher and baker to charge them to be
particular in the quality ,Of•their meat and bread.
Has no etnohnnent whatever, or personal advan-
tage, diru&ly or indirectly, out of the provision,
meat, drink, fuel, or candle-light, used in it ; and
never accepted of the smallest faVour from any pri-
soner who ever was. or now is in the gaol. Mr.
Mason seems to be extremely inveterate against
witness. He is a man of a nv‘St irritable and bad
temper. Knows of no cause why Mason should be
so inveterate against hiin, other than. that witness
believes, by his attention and care, he prevented the
escape of Emmet,- who was Mason's cousin, and of
Russell, both of -whose escape, Mason endeavoured
to accomplish. George. Dunn, one of the keef)ers,
told witness, that Mason had offered him a large
sum of money to procure the escape of ...nitnet, and
tefers to the evidence of George Dunn. Witness
desired Dunn to carry on an appearance, and to go
on with the plan. -Witness reported the birctin-
stance to Mr. Wickham, who approved Of the plan.
Was'• informed by George Dunn, that Mason at-
tempted to bribe him to let Russell escape—believes
brat Mason knows that witness counteracted his
atld therefore is hostile to him—knows no

reason wh> Long shor\tld beinVeterate against him,
other than wimess's ancfendeavoars.fo pro-
cure evidence against him ;,namely, its one instance,
where witness traced to Long his having procured a
coat to disguise Emmet on his flight. He ordered
bre:ilast for the glOl at as early an hour as con ve.
nient the tirst class, with tea, about nine o'clock.;
the second .'class, first tea, -before they were sepa-
rated ; then beer and bread, and now bread and
milk—the bread and milk instead of beer; at K-
suner's dsire... 'Dinner at four o'clock, pursuant to
the dietary beef, mutton, lamb,: veal, or fish.--
Sees the pr(SviAonS,,YenerallY every day--they were
good in quality. Whenever eocriplaint was trade,

The pickling tubs have Ordered pickling tubs fur

keep it in.
The prisoners, cOmplained last . winter of want of
vegetables, and believes with cause; Dunn, 'the
eee!er told hini he could not get them 5, the vege-
tabtes were vete scalce.
Toe prisoners desired to have covers for the
diihes.—Mtness got them. coers for The prison-
ers had table-cloths in 1;98, brit the prisoners then
destroyed them.
The prisoners COMplained of theattenttance al-
lowed to them; and particularly, that the' tianne
man who cleaned their, rooms served their victuall:
this he thought improper, and therefore appointed a
man for the purpose of serving up their victuals.' s
The water:of the gaol lias heretofore been bad
witness represented this doted., ,-;4 sunk a pump;
'from which they have good watt' .
The prisoners once complained, that there was
excrement in the cistern. It was examinedand
what they called excrement was Corks and potatoes;
that the prisoners threw dawn from their windows,
as witness was informed by the gaoler and believes
witness will have the cistern covered, to prevent
any such allegation for the future. The water clo
sets were in a' very bad state, and witness has got
them effectually repltired; each floor or comdure
'has a water closet. .
The prisoners complained•of the difficulty of get-
ting to th,e water closet, up-on which wltiim ap-
pointed an additional person to open the doors, to
let them. to, the privy. Is convinced the prisoners
sutler no inconveniency front this ; would employ
more men to this service, if necessary.
The service of the victuals is as well condUeted as
is possible_ in a gaol—the cook is as ckan a servant
as cooks usually are; and the vi teals, considering
the number of persons to be fed, are as well dressed
as can be ; thinks a reasonable supply of cheap table-
linen would be a great comfort to the 'prisoners.'
Has never seen any bad bread; witness went to
the baker himself, and gave him a particular charge
to bake it well. •
Thitsks• dividing the.: clao of prisoners, No, .(:r;
into messes of twelve at each table, may safely be
done ; and he will have that regulation made.
Thinks the regulation of the diet for each j'3.o of
prisoners 'fully sufficient, but taking the c*.ulation
of the first class of prisoners at-the, rate tner state,
viz. that they do not get• more .than the value of
id. each, he thinks (if that calculation is true)
that Dunn the gaoler has too great a profit on the
Governrnept allowance of 38: 3d. per man. Thinks
the provision now furnished to the prisoners of the
firsC.daSs: equal to what was given to them to
1798,- When Government allowed ss. sd. per man.
There .• Was- no second class at that, time ; thlak2
Dunn :the gaoler is a very honest man, and ex-
tremely proper in his conduct, and therefore v,',itoee;
recommended him to GovernMent, who gave him a
salary of tool. per annum.
Thinks getting pickling tabs to salt the viCtuais
the first and second classes, and procuring hut-fit:it:l.c '
vegetables, would be very 0-ober, and a great'con-
venience to all the prisoners. Has ordered fires-in
the common halls to boil eggs and warm drink,
for the, prisoners As to candle-light, some addi-
tion.may be made to' the present allowance, and he
will order it.
..As to the first class, whether there would be any
objection ..to allowing them to air and exercise toee-
thee. Dr. Trevor 'says he sees no objection to the
intinlgence'Unless Government should think it im-
proper to permit certain ikli.iduals to associate.',-.-!'
As to those confined to solitaly imprisonment, be-
lieves there are State reasons for confinmg:Me. -
Long ; but as to Mr. Mason, no other of the-pri-
soners would associate with him, from his temper
and foulness of person, as he believes.
And now, with an additional yard, there is malt
space for all the priSoners to have sufficient air nod
exercise, without permitting a general association of •
them. •There are three days in the week allottedeto
town visitors to see their friends, and three days tor
the country visitors. Fifteen minutes are allowed to
each prisoner to speak with his friends ; but 'M) pri-
soner is permitted to be with their friends without a
keeper being present, unless by ornereof Cloveen-
ment..
All visitors must have passes.
Fifteen minutes are 'allowed to' eac/i visitor; has
always in such cases, where the nriseners have par,
ticular busineSs to transad, extended their time,as
lOng as necessdry.—Thinks the lower ._class of pii-
sonen ()Ugric not to be indulged with tea for bread:-
fast ; thinks the quart of milk and bread that Are
allowed to each man is fully sufficient.
„Will direct Dunn never to permit the hapgman,to
carry any thing to the prisoners,—He genere,ily ee7.
amined all the
,prisoners: letters, bet in his abszmc'e,
Dunn thegabler examines them.
Dunn now inspects the letters. The letters are
never delayed or kept back from the prisoners.
-Whilst the State Prisoners have beep in -gaol, lie
(Mr. Trevor) has fuel a4eandle-light for hmlse:li.,
but not to the abridginee:of the prisoners' allowance.
The prisOners are all in good health,

1101.111.1 QUI3 DIGZAZ lALSUM AUDIAT

B;- the Townshend, which has arrived at Plymouth
from Corunna, we have received the Corunna Ga-
zette of the 3 tat ult. The intelligence which it
contains is not of a later date than that which reach-
ed us yesterday, but it corroborates in every essen-
tial particular the accounts contained in the Oviedo
Gazette. We mentioned yester4 y that MONCEY's
Army was supposed to amount to about 18,000
men, and the Corunna Gazette estimates his force
ar nearly the same number;- but all accounts agree
in the main fad, that it has been defeated, and
that it suffered so much by the determined ven-
geance of the Spaniards, that it was reduced to less
than a thousand, who found safety only in flight;
and who, as We' yesterday stated, effeEted a jun&iou
with General PEER The French troops stationed
at Barcelona, ,which, according to report, were at
first about i 5,00 men, have suffered so much in
the different contests in which they have been en-
gaged, that by the last accounts they hardly exceeded
8000. These troops- aced upon the true, principle
of the new order ef French soldiers, and had made
predatory excursidns to various •place.se and had
plundered the inhabitants of several towns; but they
were stopped in their career by a
.strong corps of
patriotic- Spaniards; and suffia-ed so much, that many
of them found it necessary to surrender their arms,
and others sought refuge in Barcelon,a_ That place
was so effedually blockaded, that it was expeded to
hold out but a very short time. DUPONT was in so
critical a situation, that it was thought be would
hardly venture to oppose the powerful. forCe that was
on the eve of such an attack as must completely
have destroyed him and his Army, if he did not escape
the determined zeal of the Spaniards by a timely sur-
render. He wa;i reduced to the last extremity with re-
sped to provisions, &c. Gen. CASTANOS, who had re-
solved on the attack on the day after the last dispatches
came away, is an officer of very great merit, of the
most undaunted courage, loyal and patriotic, but
not rash. We have, therefore, full reason to - rely
on his lodgment, as well as his ardour is the cause
of his King and Country. We have reason to be-
lieve, notwithstanding all the pompous accounts of
the intended progress of. Don JosEPH to Madrid,
that the a; my near that city is not in a much more
favourable situation than that of DUPONT. MURAT,
we know, has left that capital, and his army had
begun to fear that its retreat would be cut off, and
it was thought would avail itself of the first oppor-
tunity to escape into France.
.The last accounts re•peaing Saragossa are not less
favourable to the :4 lorious cause in which the Spa-
niards have so nobly engaged. The last efforts of
the French took place on the 4th ult. when they
were driven from their post-, and so completely'
routed, that, according to the Journal which con-

tain4 the account, all their ,Officers were killed,
their infantry nearly annihilated, and their cavalry
reduced to thirteen buses, Such are the cheering
accounts from a Country which was threatened with
slaiery, and the odium of being obliged to live under

the disarAceful dominion of a low-born Usurper,

who would never have risen into notice if he had

not bean elevated by the unparalleled crimes and

it has beeii asserted in a Morning Paper, Avhicli
seems determined never to give credit to the intel-;

ligence from Spain, whether it be favourable or un-

fat ourable, that the successes of the Spaniards. are

very much exaggerated ; and we, in common with

some of (:ur Contemporaries, are censured for adolit-
ing them. If is possible that there may be some

_ .
exaggennions in these accounts, taut that they are

in substance trt:w, we have not the smallest doubt.

That the French have not obiaibed any success, we
have the most indisputable evidence,' the si-

knee of the French and Dutch, Pkipers. They
announcrd some time ago, with great pomp,- the

progrtss of General DuroNr, the'vlaories of LE-

FEBVRE, the intended attack upon Sarazessa., &c.

&c. from ,what cause did it happen that all on a sud-

den they ceased to give us any' details of the opera-

Cons in Spain, or at least only faVoured us with a

journal ,of King Jo.Erti's journey from Bayonne to

St. Sebastian, to Vittoria, and Burgos, and of his

_ .
being waited upon by a deputation at one place, and
serenaded at another ? But of military operation,:

The last accounts from

Bayonne are of the lit!►, hut they do hot give the

ehghtest hint regp.ealog the resuit of the attack

ou Saragossa, which we .were told from:authority.
was to take place ou the sth ult,

But while we conceive it to he our dutyto
fore our Readers the details contained in the Spa-
nish Papers, and to ,state our reasons fcr believ-
ing them to be substantially true, we think
it right to state the reports of an opposita tendency
which have reached us. It is stated i❑ same of the
private accounts from Corunna, that OrFONT had
received a reinfhrcement of 8,000 men .(probably the
corps under Gen. FRERE) but that Gen. CASTANOS
still' persisted in his intention of attacking. We
are however induced, frotn the date when this
junction is said to have taken place, to entertain
strong doubts of the truth of the fact. The rein-
forcement is said, according to one account, to have
joined DUPONT on the 29th June; and, according
to another, on the Ist July : now the last dispatches
from General CASTANOS to the Junta at Seville are
dated the 11th July; and if so important an -event
had taken place, of course he would have mentioned
it. Lord COLLINGWOOD'S dispatches are dated the
17th July, and no such intelligence had reached
his Lordship, and it appears to us highly improbable
that if 8000 men had joined DUPONT on the 29th
June, or the t st July, it should not have been known
in Cadiz on the 17th.

Another report which had reached Corunna was,
that Marshal BESSIERES had advanced towards
Zainera, with the intention, as it was supposed, of
entering Portugal.

Portland, Earl Camden, Earl Chatham, Lord Cactlerea4h,
Lord Mulgrave, Lord Heathfield (Gold Stick), Lords Boston
and Herbert (Grooms in Waiting), Sir S. Con ren,'anu Messrs.

Tuesday) on his promotion.
His MAJESTY afterwards held a Privy Council,
gave audience to the Duke of PORTLAND, and the
rest of the Cabinet Ministers, and left town for
WindsQr at five o'clock.
His MAJESTY appeared cheerful, and in remark-
able good health.

A passenger who has just arrived from Memel,
states, that the French are making the most severe
esaaions in Holstein. The soldiery carry off the live
stock of the farmers without reserve or ceremony.
No payment is offered, or even promised. Such is
- stated to be the conduCt of the French in a country
which they entered as allies. The subjects of Den-
mark murmur loudly, and these inurontrs reach the
Government, which, perhaps, thinks it rather too
hazardous to echo them, lest it should provoke the
farther revenge of BUONAPARi"E, who must patron-
ize his soldiery, for he knows well the great motive
of their adherence to his cause, is the spoil which he
permits them to make in every country they enter.
It is mentioned in some Letters from Stockholm,
of the date of the 21st ult. that positive information
bad been received there that the French were eva-
cuating Swedish Pomerania, and marching towards
Silesia. They bad removed all the ammunition
from the different fortresses -which they occupied,
and it was expected that orders vvoulfl be issued to

dismantle 4. hem. This intelligence is rather proba•
We. It is no secret that BUONAPARTE has taken
offence at the tone which Austria has of late assum-
ed ; an.! it is consonant with his usual policy to pre•
pare his means of attack before he resorts to that.
decisive species of remonstrance which few, if any,,
of the Continental Cabinets, we fear, will' hear
without trembling.

We are sorry to learn, from some Letters received
frOm Petersburgh, that the plgue has broke out
in the Southern provinces of Russia, that: it has al-
, ready:committed dreadful devastation, and was ra-
pidly spreading. They also mention that an epide-
mical disorder, but-fortunattly not of so malignant
a nature, has shown itself in ,Livdnia and Courland,
and carried off a number of the inhabitants.
