" THE PROFLIGATE LORD WHARTON.

" About one hundred and fifteen years have now elapsed,
since Thomas, Earl of Wharton, better known on account of
the gross profligacy of his manners, than on account of his
talents, which were considerable, ruled as the Lord Lieutenant
of this kingdom. His Lordship hal spent the earlier part of
his life in the pursuit of such sensual pleasures as we were,
perhaps, excusable amid the impetuous passions of his youth ;
but, as he continued to be a debauchee, even after he had passed
the grand climacteric, the vices of the offender with a hoary
head could have resulted only from irreclaimable depravity.—
While the Earl continued in the Government of Ireland, his
conduct was excessively offensive- He treated the Clergy of
the Estallished Religion with contempt !—He violated public
decency by his low aniours ! !—He excited the dislike of the
Citizens of Dublin, as they believed he had hoarded Forty
Thousand Pounds, and upwards, in the course of two years,
in order to retrieve his shattered Artune ! ! !—And he dis-
gusted the liberal part of the nation by his inordinate
love of power !! ! ! Swift has drawn the Earl of Wharton's
character in most glowing colours —in such colours as will per-
petuate the recollection of his vices, and render the name of
that Lord Lieutenant odious to the latest time ; but the supe-
rior refinement of the present day will not allow, in a news-
paper, the insertion of the language of the indignant moralist,
nor even permit a mitigated description of the immoralities he
practised within the very walls of Dublin Castle !
" Thomas Lord Whar..on had, like most other depositories
of power, his minions and his confidants. Certainly some of
his fair favourites were the Roman Catholic persuasion, but he
bad not, during the whole course of his administration, a Popish
adviser in Politics. Ilis -Lordship had around him two persons
of the most desperate fortune, and most worthless character ;
and although he intended to quarter every one of them upon the
country, when they should be no longer necessary to him, as
implements for the gratification of his avarice, or his ambition,
or of another passion which was peculiarly unsuitable to old
age, still, his Lordship was supported by a numerous body of
partisans, end influential citizens. Two reasons can be
assigned in explanation of this circumstance. In the first
place, there was no bully in Dublin Castle at the time, who
would presume to maltreat any citizen who might have con-
demned Lord IVharton's political conduct—and therefore
irons of the Queen's subjects dreaded that the Viceroy, who
was bound to cause the laws of the laud to be strictly
obeyed, at least by his own servants, would retain at
his Court any persons who had grossly violated the
public peace. In the second place, his Lordship was
enthusiastically attached to the principles of the Glorious
Revolution of 1688 ; and therefore he was never suspected of
countenancing, even through an error of judgment, any mea-
sure which could possilly tend to enslave the country under
the horrible despotism of Popery.
" Notwithstanding the striking and gratifying contrast whith
is presented to us when we oppose, to the conduct of Lord
Wharton, the conduct-of Lord Wellesley—a contrast so highly
to the honour of the latter Nobleman, it may seem to be a
strange assertion, but it will be found, nevertheless, to be
strict)), true, that the number of Lord Wellesley's adherents,
at the present moment, is infinitely less than the number of
Lord -Wharton's adherents, in the year 1710—that is, after
the lapse of what may be called the second year of the Vice-
royship of the two Peers. It is evident that Lord Wellesley
has lost the cordial approbation of almost all the valuable
portion of the Protestants of Irelaui, while his Excellency
has also to endure the mortification of being insulted every
week by the members of the Roman Catholic Association,
who ostentatiously profess to represent the feelings, and speak
the sentiments of six millions of the people ! Very lately, one
of the orators of this despicable faction, after having in-
veighed, in most offensive language, against Lord Welles-
ley's Administration, compared his Lordship's official letters
to the vain and verbose epistle,' which Tiberius, according
to the statement of the Satirist, sent to the Senate of Rome,
from the dear abode at Caprea. In truth the Orator re-
peated the very words of the Satirist, in file original lan-
guage,
the Association • and the newspapers which report
to i
the circumstance state,. that the members laughed immode-
rately at the sneer—but surely this was unnecessary to illus-
trate
unless, indeed, the Orator
also intended to insinuate what would have been false, that
Lord Wellesley could dissemble on occasions of State, like
the
not have been quoted, pompous diction of the dispatches, and, therefore,
t should

the 'residence of a great Governor, as the Isle of Caprea! ! !
In the days of Lord Wharton, the Roman Catholic were neu-
tral, as they neither favoured nor opposed his mode of govern.

" But how insignificant is Alderman Darley's case, when it
is compared with the rejection of Mr. Franks' petition !—Poor
Mr. Franks, with all his nierit,'. and all his acknowledged
services, could not get even a constable's place, which he soli-
cited from Lord Wellesley, in order to possess himself of the
means of self-defence, and to protect his adored and estimable
parents, while at the same time he should have preserved the
peace of the district in which he resided. Perhaps the pensioned
gentleman thinks his merit fully entitles him to the large an-
nuity he has gotten ; and that it was quite right to leave poor
Franks, whose veins were not the channels of noble blood,
either gfa regular or irregular kind, to the care of Providence !
That young gentleman now enjoys all the comforts of ease and
dignity at the expence of the nation ; while the mortal remains
of Mr. Franks, and his parents, have not an inscription on their
humble graves, to commemorate such a hideous anomaly in the
social system. as that which conferred affluence on one man
without any apparent cause, at the moment when a meritorious
subject who had essentially served his country, was left to pine
in want, until ferocious assassins had perfected the plan of his
death, and consummated their revenge by the murder of his
whole family."
If this libel contained nothing but matter of public charge
against the Marquis Wellesley, he (Mr. P.) would rather let it
pass unnoticed and unpunished than run the hazardous con-
sequences of retaining free discussion ; but it was malignant
private slander, uttered by one carrying on. the trade of defa-
mation, by a wretched calumniator totally unknown, with
whom the Marquis Wellesley, at no period of his life, could
have had any intercourse. lie (Mr. Plunkett) therefore thought
it necessary, as a duty which he owed to the public, and to
the noble person so cruelly maligned, to bring the venal scrib-
bler to the bar of justice, where an investigation might be
had. The libel of which he complained charged Lord Wel-
lesley with gross profligacy ; it also called him An old and
withered debauchee.—(Laughter.)—This was a serious ground
of charge. The libel also asserted, that Lord Wellesley slid
not indulge in that liberal expenditure and generous
hospitality which it was the duty of his high office to afford
to his Court. It charged the Lord Lieutenant further, with
an inordinate love of power, with gross immorality, with public
indecency, and with indulging in low amours. This was a se-
rious imputation. It was holding the Chief Governor of this
Country up to contempt and odium. It was calculated to in-
terfere with the public duty of the Noble Peer at the head of
the Government, because, if this charge went forth unrefuted,
and unprosecuted, it must be quite evident, that the public
would attach some credit to the imputations. It was therefore
that he appealed to the King's Bench to interpose its autho-
rity. But the article, headed Lord Wharton, was not the only
libel that hail appeared. He would read to the Jury another,
giving an account of the assembly at the Castle, on St. Pa-
trick's night. (Here Mr. Plunkett read the article from the
Star.) Now, this was false, and Haydn knew it to be so, for he
had fabricated the falsehood himself. It was a malignant slan-
der, as all the suite of Lord Wellesley could prove. The house-
hold of the Noble Lord were in attendance—they could be pro-
duced at a moment's notice—they would not require the forma-
lity of a subpoena—they would appear at once, and submit to the
most rigorous examination, to have an opportunity of proving
the rank falsehood of these odious calumnies, which were as
" false as hell." (The Attorney-General pronounced these
words with great force and energy of manner.) Lord WelleS-
ley had passed his time in a very different manner from that de-
scribed. He passed it in the discharge of an arduous duty, and
the pursuit of those liberal studies and elegant recreations which
had been the delight of his youth, and which were the solace
of his age. He (Mr. P.) did not care of what sect, or to what
party, the Jury belonged, but he hoped they had the feelings
of gentlemen and of Christians. lie would be followed by able
and eloquent Counsel, but he was at a loss to think to what
topics those gentlemen would address themselves. They would
hardly, he thought, rise to justify topics, on the ground of the
freedom of discussion, which he considered deadly and destruc-
tive. There was no more anxious friend to the freedom of pub-
lic discussion than himself. He hoped it would live as long as
the Constitution ofthe country; but that indeed was an idle wish,
for the Constitution of the country could not exist without it. But
if even the Constitution were to be overthrown, and long dis-
tant may that day be, it would be overthrown by the unbound-
ed and unpunished licentiousness of the press, destroying
its freedom. Ile was not one of those who would measure
expressions tittered in the warmth of the moment.— (Here Mr.
O'Connell smiled, as did many of the friends of that gen-
tleman). But here was a deliberate, a wicked attack on pri-
vate life. Haydn never thought of Lord Wellesley at all ; he
was merely a worthy gentleman compiling a history of Ire-
land for the edification of the public; and perhaps the Coun-
sel on the opposite side would blame his officiousness for-seek..
ing to fasten the words on Lord Wellesley ; but it was the ge-
neral rule, that words were to be taken in the general sense
which readers annex to them. If the Jury conscientiously
thought that these words were a mere abstract piece of history,
they were bound to find a verdict for the defendants. Yes, he
would say, they were bound to fine a verdict for the defend-
ants; but they must come to the conclusion, that Haydn
had abandoned the lofty path of politics to pen historic anec-
dotes of times vast---that there was a comparison between
Lord Wharton and Lord Wellesley, and the contrast was
striking, and could not be mistaken. Here the Attorney-
General went over the various passages of the libel, and ap-
plied himself to prove, that in the latter part of it Lord
Wellesley was distinctly mentioned, In alluding to the for-
mer part of the libel, he said it came within the case of the
King versus Eaton, in which the late Monarch was compar-
ed to the tyrant Cook, and to the case of Duke !War_
ton, the son of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who was de-

ATTOIINEY-GENEnAL—This is a matter of law—it is an
indiscreet answer; and I do not want to avail myself of it.—
But were there any proceedings, civil or criminal, against Mr.
Ilayd at that time ? There were not.
Not with reference to any right or privilege then depending,
in which Mr. Haydn was concerned ? I believe not.
Was there any crime committed at that time, for which Mr.
Hayn was liable to be prosecuted ?
Mr. NonTu objected to this question.
The CHIEF JUSTICE—Mr. Attorney-General, we don't
think you can ask that question..
ATTORNEY-GENERAL—The distinction wish to make,
is with the view of having it decided, how far the witness is
within the limits of his professional privilege. If Illdn con;
suited the witness, for the _purpose of knowing how he could
safely violate the law, that communication is not privileged.—
But if he committed an offence, and conselted his attorney,. as
to how he could defend him, then I concede that I have no
right to ask him.

-Judge BURTON—That is, perhaps, rather anticipating what
should come from the other side.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I think so, my Lord, I will
now come to the contents of that manuscript. and ask the wit-
ness what they were.
Mr. NORTH objected.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—The question then is—whe-
ther a party, having no legal right depending, civil or criminal,
consults a professional gentleman, with respect to an act which
he intends to do, and if that act, being done, is detrimental to
the laws of society and interests of the public, has that profes-
sional person a right to protect himself from a disclosure of
those facts in a Court of Justice. If it is discretionary with a
professional man to consult his feelings, as to what he shall
consider a privileged communication, how is the law to be
drawn between the most trivial and the most serious offences ?
It' a man consult his attorney.. stating his intention to commit
murder or treason, and requiring to be advised as to how he
can do either with impunity--and if, after the commission of
the crime, the attorney should be asked as to the fact of his
haying been consulted, should he have the option of deciding
whether he should screen the offender from Justice under his
professional privilege ? The law knows no Such officer as an
advisor how to commis crime safely, nor consents to tell what
is or what is not crime—though it recognizes an adviser to in-
struct an offender how to defend himself when prosecuted.
Mr. TOWNSEND contended that the privilege was not that
of the attorney but of his client. If Mr. Haydn had handed&
libel to Mr. Il'hite, his attorney, and handing it would be
publishing it, could it be maintained that Mr. White, the only
competent witness to prove the publication, could shelter him-
self under his professional privilege from giving evidence of
the fact ? Could the libeller, by his own fraud, purchase his
indemnity ?
The CHIEF JURTICE.—Do you urge it then as a pub-
lication

Mr. TOWNSEWD.-I do, my Lord, so far as that, for there
is no privilege for publishing a lible..
Mr. O'CoNIiELL, for Haydn,— saidlt was quite familiarto
every lawyer that there were many modes of distributing pub-
lications that were libellous, and yet privileged publications.
It was notorious that Newspaper printers are obliged to inform
the public of many occurrences, the publication of which may
be libellous ; but the suppression of which would be an aban-
donment of their public duty ; and if such a printer should
consult Counsel as to the safest terms or form of publishing it,
shall it be said that the attorney, who may convey or submit
the case to Counsel, shall be brought into Court, and made de-
clare what passages were omitted ? It was but the other day an
article appeared in a Newspaper, and there was attached to it
the opinion of Counsel, that " this case, as it n.ow stands, is
not libellotts"--and was a printer, anxious to avoid offend-
ing the law, to be denied the right of taking the precautionary
measures of obtaining professional advice how he could best
do so?

TheSOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted, that the professional
privilege now sought for, could not exist consistently with the
laws of the land, for no man was privileged to advise how to
commit crime ; and an attorney or any man would be guilty of
a misprison of treason, if he were consulted upon a treasonable
project, and did not make it known, The attorney had no pri-
vilege but that which originated in the absolute necessity fur
men, in some transactions in life, to consult those who neces-
sarily are persons of better judgment than themselves ; but it
never was intended that such a necessity was to be the founda-
tion for counselling the commission of crime. The right of
every man to consult confidentially his legal advisers, was not
denied, or attempted to be infringed upon, by the exami-
nation now contended tor, because the rule did not go to
affect those who consulted Counsel for some useful purpose.
The COURT consulted for some time, and deferred their de-
cision upon the point.
After the examination of two other witnesses, the Court ad-
journed to this day at ten o'clock. •
General Sic Wm. Parker Carroll was near the Bench ; and,
on the other side we observed Mrs. Kemmis, Mrs. North,
Miss Bushe, and two of the young Mr. Plunketts ; at the table
sat the Rev. Mr. Keugh, and next him was placed the Rev. C.
Bard in.
We never remember to have seen so crowded a bar sites the
ex-officio trial.
Mr. O'Connell sat within the Bar, next the e King's Counsel,
and exactl
opposite him was Mr. Browniow, m.p. for A,.
magh. The lion. George Knox, with a party of Ladies, and
several Dragoon Of were also present.

The Colonial Board formed by the Minister of Marine has
adopted a project for the re-organizatin of the Isle of Bourbon ;
it is doubtless the result of the work set on foot for the generth
amelioration of the civil and judicial administration of the Co-
lonies. It is promised by the Charterthat those distant posses-
sions should be governed by laws, and not by simple regula-
tions ; there must therefore he g Colonial Legislature. Nothing
better can be adopted than the system established in that respect

MADIUD, JAY. 17.

in the short space of five days several couriers and expresses,
corning from Paris, have arrived in our capital. Even yesterday,
the Chargé d'Affaires to our Court, M. Bois le Comte, received
an estraordinary courier, who immediately departed for Lisbon.
Pine the arrival of these couriers the Ministers have held

ft uncils, which have not been discontinued up to this day. With

the view of distracting public attention, 20 different versions have
Teen circulated of what so exclusively occupies our Ministry, and
the uncertainty of the state of affairs contributed to render them
all more absurd one than another. But the truth soon madeita
way, and it is now known in such a manner that it cannot be
doubted, that the business of the Council is on the declaration
of England that she is resolved to recognise the new states of
South America, a declaration which you must have known long
before us. The step taken by the Cabinet of St. James's has
completely ruined the projects of our Government, which still

Battered itself with the hope of subduing the Independents, and
who, quite recently, as you may have seen by my preceding
Setters, was occupied with the chimerical rroject of-sending a
grand expedition to America.

The Government has received the news of the acknowledge-

ment of the Independence of the Americans with its usual
stoicism. The news has not yet taken air, and the Minister
for Foreign Affairs has begged those persons who know it to

the Sovereigns of the Holy Alliance,- to whom notes of com-
plaint have been sent, which is the only resource of the weak.

tune, in seeing themselves honoured- with the grand ribbon of the
Legion of Honour. _

PARIS JAN. 23.

Letters from Constantinople of the 13th give accounts from
Syra of the Bth, which speak of the two factions in the Morea.
Coiocotroni, Ypsilanti, Varvaki, and Petro Bey, have arm-
ed 6,000 men, and fought the army of the Government,
said to be 15,000. These four Chiefs have rebelled, they say,
because their adversaries had sacrificed their country to Eng,-
laud, had allowed that Power, of a different religion, to inter-
Lre in all their affairs, and had borrowed money at high in-
t&•rest, while Varvaki engaged in writing to furnish the same
sums. The two parties call each other Russian aid English.
Later accounts say, that Colocotroni being defeated and obliged
to retreat to the mountain of Arka, saw all his troops desert his
cause and his standard. In this extremity he wrote to the
Greek Government—
_ _

" I believed the cause I defended to be the best ; I thought,
in fighting for it, to serve my country, and to obey the decrees
of El eaven : the unhappy death of my two sons is a sufficient
proof of my error.
" I beg the Greek Government to see in me only a true pa-
triot misled by love of his country. I desire to return to the
condition of an obedient and faithful citizen, and I swear to
unite my efforts and my means for the union and prosperity
of my country, as my most ardent wishes have been for her

alone:"

It is not known what answer the Greek Senate had returned
to this submission of the rebel Chief._

15th.—To-day there was a Council at the Porte, to provide,
it is said, for the pay of 40,0410 Albanians, whom the Govern-
ment intends to send against the Morea.
For some days past a new agitation is observed among the
Janissaries ; those that were at Negropont and Athens have
been severely reprimanded for their want of discipline and their
robberies.

It was affirmed at Napoli di Romania, that, in the action off
Candia, Ibrahim Paella would have been burnt but for 27

CORFU, DEC.. 2.5.
It cannot be denied, and it would have been miraculous had
it been otherwise, that Greece has internally had numerous
disorders, to which none but feeble repressive means had been
opposed. One of the first cares of the new Government has
been to seek an afficacious remedy for those evils which com-
promised internal tranquillity, and which might have become
fatal to the cause of independence. It has, in consequence,
published the following Decree :
" The Provisional Government of Greece, thinking it to be
its duty to be mindful of the interests of the nation, and of the
internal and external tranquillity of the state, has resolved,
after mature consideration, to adopt a special military law to
prevent, for the future, any irregularity in the conduct of the
4)fficers or soldiers of the Greek army. It has in consequence
decreed, and loth decree as follows :
" Art. I.—Every military Chief, from the commanders in
chief down to the officers of the lcrwest degree, having separate
inniands, who, after having received orders to march against
tt:e enemy, shall abandon his post, or shall not punctually
obey the orders which have been transmitted to him, shall be
declared unworthy of being entrusted.with any command in

future.
" 2. Every officer having received orders to put himself at the
heart of a division under the command of a superior officer, who
shall abandon his post without the authority of his Commander,
shall be also deprived of all command for the future.
" 3. Every officer who, abandoning his post, -shall go about
the neighbouring towns or villages, without the express order
• or permission of his superior, shall not have the right to claim
• his pay, and shall be accounted unworthy to occupy any post.
" 4. Every officer who shall enlist a greater number of sol-
diers than shall have been prescribed him, shall do it at his own
east.
" 5.. Every officer or other person - whatever who shall levy
soldiers without the authority of Government, shall be regarded
as a disturber of good order,-and a pest to society.
" 6. Every soldier who shall follow a military chief or any
other person whatever, not authorized by Government, shall

not be able to claim either pay or provision.
" 7. Any man of colour, invested with military or civil
authority, shall not be able, after the publication of these
presents, to present himself in the place -or seat of Govern.
ment without the authority of the Government itself.
£l. l'he competent authorities are charged to cause this de-
eree.to be posted up and published.

The Austrian Admiral Accarti- sailed, with•the flag-ship
La Bellone which he commanded, to Napoli de'Romania, to re-
wire from the Greek Government indemnities, the justice of
which have been acknowledged ; but the payment being always
evaded, and fatigued with these interminable delays, the Admiral
3:immoned the Greek Government to satisfy him in 4b hours,
inf•rrning them that, unless they did, he should indemnify
himself by seizing the first Greek armament lie might meet.—
This term being expired, and not having received any satisfac-
, Lion, M. Accarti immediately manned two boats to make prize
of a vessel which happened to be, there. The'&reeks fired on
the Austrians, and dangerously wounded two sailors ; but the
others boarded, and took possession of The vessel, whose crew
saved themselves by flight to shore. The Austrians carried off
the vessel; but as this pledge was far from being equal to the
worth of the indemnities due by the Greeks, M. Accarti pro-
' visionally took possession of •a Greek brio. of War, after having
disembarked all
the crew ' • and it is with these two prizes that
.we have seen the Admiral enter the port of Smyrna.
