He then(succincily recapitulated the clic,:..rn;tances
already detailed, and remarked thereon, •not only
that no circuMstarice of private injury, however
aggravated, could warrant any [ruin in taking the law
into his (Am hands, and taking away the life of an
individual. Neither could the 'plea of insanity be
of any avail in ~tich a case, unless it could be proved
that the prisoner, at the time he committed
.the act,
was so far deranged in his mind, as not to be capable
of judging bet ween tight and wrong.
The Jury after retiring .a short time, returned
verdict—Guilty. •
The il1:CORDB11, at about a quarter past six, pro.
ceeded to address the prisone'r. Ele commented on
the enoinrity of the offence which lie had 'commit-
ted by the murder of one who was employed in one
of the highest offices of his .country, to which, but
for the crime which the prisoner had been found
guilty of, his services might have proved a great
blessing. For this crime there was no extenuation or
defence,and it became-his duty to pronounce upon the
prisoner the awful sentence of the law. Ha then
passed sentence .of
„Death on the criminal, to be ex`
- ecuted on Monday,morning next, and his body de-
livered for disseetion.

We this morning received Corunna Papers to.the.

the followin, extraCis

OFFICIAL DISPATCH PROM FIELD MARSHAL ESPOZ
AND MINA, DATED ,ZALDUENDO, II TH APRIL, TO

THE GENERAL IN CHIEF OF' THE 7TH ARMY.

" On the gth inst. I attacked between Castellejo
. . •
de Arlaban and ‘Guarnecion de Salenas, on the-high
road of Vittoria, 2000 infantry and 1.50 horse ; the
result has been the falling of the cbnvoy into my
power .that they proteaed. Five hundred of " the
enemy were killed on the field of battle, 150 pri-
soners made (some of whom have Since. died), and
406 Spaniards . released. \ One hundred waggons
have entered Vittoria with wounded, of whom the
greater part have 'had an arm or leg amputated, in
addition to those who have arrived at Salma.

" There remain in this kingdom various columns
of enemy's troopi, for the purpose of pursuing me.
" have 'received your Excellency's official dis-
patch
.for Col. CRUCH AGA, and the ammunition.

" I.have determined that one of my officers shall
&liver the prisoners and liberated Spaniards to Senor
jACERA(IUE, to be forwarde,d.to Senor LO GA, that
they may successively be give.k) to your Excellency.
Nevertheleiis my of has orders to present him-
s6ll with them to your Excellency."
PoTEs, Imam a shprt time this kingdom
will be entirely free from the-enemy,- as the troops
have in. effe6l goPe to attack Torre L'avega. In
Villareaya and Medina we 'have the division of Ibe-
ria, which is composed of -4000 infantry and .50W
horse, and in ArdUlla-two ba4alions have been orga-
nized. - • '

,We positively.know that 2.500 tr.en have marched
through Run' for the North, and that to the amount
of 50,900 are to proceed in the same direction.
• VILLA FRANCA, APRIL 28.—We know from
good authority, that the French are reduced to a
state of .desperation, and are taking every possible
means to conciliate 'the Spaniards.

`Part. of the troops which marched for the pur-
pose of.bornbarding Ciudad Rodrigo, have returned
to Valadolid, and theremainder have been distributed
among the garrisons from which' they set out. Of
these, troops 2000 are abort to proceed to Burgos, and
will, we are assured, continue the route for France.
They find a great change in their situation; the pride
they formerly manifested is completely lowered ;
they hilly comprehend hOw adverse is their fate.—
Our guerillas parties augment- daily, intercept all
the communication:, of the enemy's garrisons in Ca.
title, and prevent theni Irani collecting contributions
notwithstanding the extreme: misery to which they
are reduced.

POTES, 40.—1 t is reported
that between
Mondragon and Vittoria, MIIN A. has taken in Wag-
gons laden with valuables, the baggage of General
DORSENNE, and X 50,000 crowns in money, and set
at liberty 100 Spaniards, tbelonging to SANCHEZ
party. The enemy are reported to have lost 1000
'men.

CORUNNIA, May 4.—General CASTANIIOS is at
present in Santiago, and it is believed will, on the
7th, publish in' that city, •the Constitution; with all
the solemnity proper for so august an act. He will
afterwards proceed to this town, where he was anxi-
ously expected by all lovers of order, who are per-
suaded of his zeal for the public cause and love of the
•
country.

PONVERRADO, APRIL 29.—The desertion from'
the enemy' is certainly great, and a general discon-
tent prevails among them. , •
