The questions addressed, last night, to Lord
LONDONDERRY, by Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH,
were not of such a nature as to display much po-
litical acumen, and if he were a candidate for
off►ce would not be calculated to increase his re-
putation for political prudence. The sagacious
Knight's first question related to what, if his
speech is reported rightly, he styled the " atro-
cious expulsion" of certain Italian Emigrants
from Geneva. Lord LONDONDERRY stated in
answer that he had never heard of the facts,
and surely he was as likely to know them
as Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH. But the Go-
vernment of Geneva have surely a right to
ask the Honourable Querist why he ventures to
asperse its conduct, and to interfere with the
policy of its measures ? Without meaning our-
selves to impeach the character of the persons
expelled, surely we may observe that every State
has a right to exclude foreigners from whom it
has any reason to apprehend mischief. The very
circumstance of having been obliged to quit their
own country necessarily attaches suspicion to the
characters of glese Italian emigrants, and the
Government of Geneva may know so much
of their principles and conduct as fully to
justify it in refusing them a shelter. The
other question of the sagacious Querist re-
lated to South America, the Knight having de-
manded o► Lord LONDONDERRY whether his
MAJESTY'S Government had yet recognized the
new Republics in that quarter of the world. Is
it to be believed that a Gentleman who once en-
joyed a high reputation for political profundity
could have advanced so premature a question, if
it were not so stated in the Newspaper Reports ?
The Government of the United States of Ame-
ricehas received a Report from a Committee on
the subject, recommending, indeed, an imme-
diate recognition of the new Republics ; but
it does not appear that the Government
has yet acted upon it.—lf such men as Mr.
HUM E, PETER Moorte, Mr. BEN ET, or any Par-
liamentary Orators of a similar mental calibre,
had asked such questions, the public would not
have been surprised ; but that the author of a
book on the French Revolution, boldly and spe-
ciously attacking Mr. BURKE's admirable and
unanswerable work on the same subject, a
person who has publicly declaimed on the
Lkws or NATIONS, and who has held a high
judicial appointment in India, should have
suggested an interference with the domestic po-
licy of another State, and have attempted to draw
premature disclosures from our own, must excite
a belief that the Parliamentary Reporters have
been mistaken, as it is difficult to believe that there
should be so extraordinary a change in a person
who formerly had acquired an intellectual cha-
racter of no ordinary description.

The Gentlemen in the City are very anxious
this evening to know the result of the Bank
Meeting, which took place this forenoon at 12
o'clock. it is supposed by many that it relates
to the New Financial plan of Ministers.

The ilioniteur of Sunday last contains the
following notice of a manuscript in the hand-
writing of BUONAPARTE :
WARSAW, APRIL 10.—Count Dzialinslci, a distinguished
amateur of every thing curious, has brought with him from
Paris a very interesting manuscript. It is a volume in small
folio, of between 30 and 40 leaves, written entirely by the hand
of Buonaparte. The identity of the hand-writing is authenti
cared by a certificate under the signatures of Illontholon,
Mourner, and Bassano.
This collection contains several curious documents relating
to the history of the times, from the period in which Buona-
parte entered the service to the commencement of the revolu-
tionary war.
There is a memoir on-the improvement of the Turkish artil-
lery, and various fragments on the campaigns of Italy.
But what may be considered as most worthy of attention is,
a plan of the first Spanish campaign, as dictated by Buona-
parte to Junot, afterwards Duke of kbrantes, on which there
is an immense number of marginal notes.
There are also some very curious pi,ccs, containing various
secret projects relating to the frontiers of France and Austria
which hitherto have not been disclosed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(This DAY.)

THE MANCTER RIOTS.
REDFORD V. 111RLEY AND OTHERS.

At eleven o'clock Mr. Justice Ilot.novrt) re-
sumed the reading of the evidence taken on the
above trial, which being concluded at half-past
twelve, the Learned Judge stated his reasons for
the view he took of the case, when he delivered
his charge to the Jury, and reiterated his former
opinion, that the defendants were acting in aid
of the civil power to execute a warrant, when an
attack was made upon them, and that all subse-
quent proceedings were done in their own defence.

The CHIEF JUSTICE and the other Learned
Judges then delivered their opinions seriatim.
and refused the application of Mr. J. EVANS' to
grant a new trial. •
