[BRITISH PRESS.]

Our .Paris Correspondent mentions another in-
stance of the denial of the rite of sepulture' by
the Roman Catholic Clergy of France. In the
case of the actor Philtippe, the ecclesiastical ce-
remony was refused because the deceased, be-
longed to a profession obnoxious to the censures
&the clergy ; but in the case to which we noW
refer, the rite was denied to an old and 'respect-
able Magistrate, M. lialobe, formerly the Mayor
of TOyes, simply becuuse'he was a Jansenisti This
venerable man, who, at the period of his decease,
was 84 years of age, was refused the sacrament
an-
lesi he would abjure his errors as a 3 ausenist ; and
while this indecent violation of the sanctity of the
hour of dee th was perpetrating, M La lobe expired,
the last effort of nature only just enabling him to
make a sign to the priest expressive of his anxiety
for the last offices of his religion. This occur-
rence, which at another time would, perhaps,
hardly be worthy of observation in this country,
deserves-Some interest now,' from the dangerous
and groutolleQs pretensions of the Catholic Clergy
in Ireland. We must all recollect the outcry that
was raised because the Catholic Priests were not
suffered, in Ireland, to perform their rites in the
Protestant church-yards. We see, in the instance of
M. Lalobe, what is the condectof this same clergy
where they have power toast according to their will.
It affords also tr striking and ,decisive answer , to
the boasts we have heard as to .the perfect unity
of the Romanists. The mutual hatred of Jan-
senists and Molinistil seems to reign with,-as much
fnr.y as ever between the members of the. G'.a,l-
- church, The Protestants are,. we know,
?gyred to ,enjoy their worbip unmolested. in
"I"‘rance ; but we cannot' be ignorant that this
boasted liberality of frit! itomall Catholics was
really the result-of 'Buonapaite's indifference' to,
all. religion. • Siece the restoration of the
Bourbons ..the .priesthood have allowed Ito
opportunitr..to Jetss; without: manifesting. their
hostility to the sectarians ; and when we see, them
pursuing with relentless hatred to the grave one
of their own flock, because he erred in some itn-

material point of doctrine or discipline, we may
easily guess what they would do towards the
Protestants if their inclinations were not fettered
by their. inability. In some parts of Germany
the same edifice is at different hours of the day
occupied for the purposes of divine worship both
by Catholics and Protestants. Is this a proof
that they are in those places less opposed to each
other? Certainly not. It shows Only that there
is a balance of power between them, and too
much poverty to enable each party to provide
itself with a separate Church.

LTUE PUBLIC LEDGER.]
At a late hour last night we received New
York Papers to the 9th instant, which contains
advices from Mexico, Buenos Ayres, and Peru
—all of a very recent date, and of a character so
highly favourable to the independent cause, that
we may safely say they have not the least
alloy, even o 1 a doubtful nature. The accounts
from Mexico state, that as soon as General
Santa Anna, who commands in the province
of Yucatan, and whose resistance to the au.
thority of the general Government was noticed
some time since, had been apprized of the
landing of lturbide, he immediately ad-
dressed a Proclamation to the inhabitants of
his Government, exhorting them to oppose the
Adventurer, and to remain firm to the great cause
in which they are engaged. This intelligence is
probably the precursor of his unconditional sub-
mission to the general Government ; and thus we
hope to see removed the last black spot in the
political horizon of that most interesting portion
of the New. World. The intelligence from Buenos
Ayres mentions, that the preparations on the
part of that State to co-operate in the deliverance
of Peru from the yoke of Spain were nearly
completed.. A force was to be immediately de-
tached to UpperPeru,and the General was already
nominated. But the most valuable information
of all is contained in a letter from Porto Bello,
dated the 15th of October. At this time a great
number of Spanish prisoners had- arrived there
from Peru. General Sucre, of the Colombian
Army, had entered Lima; and; according to all
,appearance, the contest was rapidly approaching
to its close. The returns for the Election of
President were not received at this date ; though
'it was generally supposed that Mr. Adams
would be the successful Candidate.— The
above are the principal contents of these papers.
The remaining, consisting chiefly of election
squibs, in favour of, or opposition to, the can,
didates for the office of President; together with
further accounts of the reception of the reception
of Pe la Fayette, in the different places which
he has visited ; and the Addresses presented to
him, in which adulation seems nearly to have
exhausted itself.

The details of Mr. Fauntlorojes execution, and
of the scenes by which it was preceded, will be
found in another column—(see Tun SUN of yes-
tortho.) Melancholy as they naturally are, they
can excite but one feeling, approbation of the
Justice which condemned him to die, and of the
firmness which rejected the humane but ill-
advised applications for mercy. As long ns a
word of our's could influence a decision in which
the life of a fellow being was involved, although
our opinion- was fixed as to what strict justice
required, we abstained from saying any
thing which could atand in the way of
pardon. But ' now that the duty due to
the public has been faithfully, though pain-
fully discharged, we must unite our thanks
to those of the community at large, for the Ha-
came which has been made in support of its
legitimate interests. That much sympathy should
have been expressed in the fate of the culprit as
' the• dreadful hour of atonement approached,• is
pot surprising in a land where misery front
whatever cause it may spring never fails to
meet with pitying hearts. But that it was a
false and morbid syMpathy cannot be doubted.
It is dangerons to suffer feeling to fling
a veil'over crime, audit must be recollected that
the Character of his offence Was aggravated by
some of the circumstances which Most contributed
to awaken public interest. For as it was
towards his family and friends rather. than to-
Wardi himself that Sensibility was roused, it
ought not to be forgotten that it was'he who:dealt
the blow which prostrated their 'peace and bap-
jpiness. Whether his crime be considered there-
ifore in relation to the interests of the public
,t)r to those of his own connexions, both of which
the deeply injured, there never was a case which
!displayed a more' complete absence of all
:grounds or excuses for the exercise of the
divine prerogative Of mercy. That' he may
have found it in that world to which his own
offences have hurried him, but for which he
appears to have prepared himself by sincere re-
pentance and Christian faith, is a hope which Hit
will he disposed to indulge, who shall peruse the
relation of his last moments and of the calm re-
signation with which he gave up his existence to
satisfy the offended laws of his country. He is
said to have been himself of Opinion.; though he
-gratefully allowed the exertions of his friends to
procure a remission of punishment, that his case
was not• one in which it was possible .or
Royal
Clemency. to interfere. •

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

(FOomthe Dublin Corresponden(, Ni?v. 25.)

Exactly lit proportion as the Rant is corning in,
the more do the dangerous, gigantic, and unconstitutional
principles of the Itonian Catholic Association display them•
selves. The orators or this licidY have long since assumed, in
their various speeches and resolutions, that the Roman Catholic
population is exclusively the Irish nation, and that they, of
course, form its only Teal and true representatives. At the
Meeting of this Assembly, yesterday, it will be perceived they
are resolved to carry this assumed 'maxim t;t theirs into practi-
cal illustration. An Ambassador Extrizardinary is either to be
found at, or sent to, Paris, who is to conduct and superintend
the political relations which they may have to transact with the
French Government, as well as with other foreign States. If it

were not one of the very first measures of the American Revo-
lutionists, it was at least one of their preliminary proceedings
to send an Agent to France, who succeeded in arousing the
hostility of that nation and Government against England.—
, The precedent is quite to thepurpose of the Irish Revolutionists
of the Roman Catholic Association. To pass by the legitimate
sources of redress, where the grievance is more imaginary than
real, and to seek the aid of a foreign and natural enemy, or
indeed any aid which can advance its interest, has been always
the resource of factious discontent, and more especially when
it finds its own intemperance tohave furnished the best plea for
disappointing its wishes. We will, however, shortly discover
whether this new expedient of making threats precede petitioning
shall have its desired effect in the proper quarter.

ASSASSINATION ofMAJOIt CHAMPION.

(From the Newfoundland Gazette of Nov. 9.)

ST. VINCENT, OCT. 16.—1 t is our painful duty
to record, in this day's Gazette, the melancholy death of Major
Champion, 21st Royal North British FuSileers, commanding
the troops in this garrison. On returning to the fort on Wed-
nesday evening last, at about 7 p. m., he was shot by the sentry
posted at the drawbridge, and expired before 10 on the same
evening. The wretch who committed this diabolical act is now
given over to the civil authority ; and as this is the second in-
stance of a similar nature which he has endeavoured (though in
the fitst instance .happily ,unsuccessfully) to perpetrate, it is
hoped that he will soon meet with that fate which he so richly
deserves. The body of-Major. Champion was interred with
every military honour due to the much-lamented deceased' on
Thursday evening; and marked respect was paid to his me-
mory by the principal authorities, civil and military, together
with most of the.respectable inhabita»ts. The foregoing parti-
culars (transmitted to us from the regiment) comprise a faith-
ful detail of as shocking an. event as ever was recorded—one,
we are happy to say, hitherto unprecedented in this colony, and
of which, perhaps, scarcely a parallel can be finind in the annals
of the British army. •It has thrown a gloomy melancholy over
this community, which at once marks the detestation and horror
in which the crime is held, and the deep commiseration that is
felt by all for the fate of Major Champion. and in the affliction
of his widowed lady. and five fatherless children, when the me-
lancholy tidings shall reach them in England. We have but
few particulars to add; to what .is communicated officially
above, respecting the death of.thii gallant officer. He was
on his return from town to his quartera in the fort, and had
reached about the middle of the drawbridge, when he was
challenged by the sentinel on duty at the end of it, who in-
quired particularly as to his identity, and being assured it
was the Major who approached, he immediately shot him,
and he fell from his horse on the bridge, the distance be-
tween him and the assassin being about six yards, and the shot
passing beloW the left breast through the body. An inquest was
held on Thursday on the body, and a verdict of wilful murder
returned, when the culprit was committed to gaol upon the
Coroner's warrant. Major Champion was in his 37th year ; he
had seen much service, principally as an Officer of the Staff',
in various parts of the world, and was much esteemed by his
brother Officers, as well as all those who had the pleasure of
his acquaintance. A vessel was grit express to his Excellency
the Governor on the night of the Major's death, and he
returned here early yesterday morning, from Canottan, since
which he has directed a Court of Sessions to be called for the
trial of the prisoner. The wretched assassin is named James
Ballasty ; he is a native of Ireland—has been about ten years
in the regiment, and bore a bail character in it. He acknow-
, lixiged his guilt at the moment of the murder, and repeatedly
• since : indeed, the savage and unfeeling manner in which,, we
are assured, he exults in the deed, almost exceeds belief, al-
though his victim not long since is understood to have solicited
and obtained 'a remission of his punishment for an attempt to
commit a similar crime.

tion,

LAW INTELLIG ONCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH,. Nov.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE sat at Nisi Prius, and tried
causes with common juries.

SPYRING V. GREENWOOD AND COX.

This action was brought by the widow' and personal repre-
sentative of Major George Spyring, an officer in the artillery,
against Messrs. Greenwood and Cox, the paymasters of his
Regiment, to recover a balance of 1601. ss. 9d. due to his estate.
There was no fact disputed between the parties, and the case
was tried on admissions. From these it appeared that certain
allowances, formerly permitted by. the Board of Ordnance,
were in 1816 withheld, and notice given to the defendants that
they must so longer expect to receive them on behalf of the
officers. Messrs. Greenwood and Cox, however, neglected to
communicate this determination to Major Spyring;, and in
1820 furnished him with an account, in which they gave him
credit for the allowances, nearly, if not quite, to that period.
The question was, whether, having given this account, they
could now dispute its correctness, by showing that in 1816 the
allowances were actually withdrawn ?
It having been agreed that the point should be reserved for
the opinion of the Court in the form of a special case,
The LOAD CHIEF JUSTICE told the Jury, that, in his pre-
sent view of the case, the defendants were not now at libery to
dispute the correctness of the account which they had chosen to
render. It was very important to all men, and certainly not
less important to military. men than to others, accurately to
know the extent of their income, that they might accommodate
their expences to their means. As the defendants had allowed
Major Spyring to go on in the supposition that his income re•
mauled unchanged, and had supplied him with an account on
that supposition, he thought they were not now entitled to skew
that they had been in error.
The Jury, then, by his Lordship's directions, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1601. ss. 9d.

THE KING ON THE PROSECUTION OF PALMER
vernss CLIFFORD. _

Mr. CHITTY opened the pleadings, and Mr. OtritrEY
stated the case to the Jury, as exposed in the following evi.
dence

Thomas Palmer examined by Mr. CIIITTY.—I am a painter
and glazier, residing in the Hackney-road; in May last I
wanted 300/. ready money, and on the 4th May 1 inserted an
advertisement in the newspapers, as X. V., addresed to Parents
and Guardians; stating, that I wanted to borrow that sum upon
good security, at 5 per cent., and would, for the accommodation,
take an apprentice without a premium. The next day I received
a letter from the defendant, dated May 4, No. 25, Ely-place,
and offering to procure me the Money if my security was good.
(Here Mr. Adolphus, the defendant's Counsel, put in a letter,
butthe witness denied that it was the letter lie had received.)—
In consequence of this letter I went to Elpplaca, and saw Mr.
Clifford on the sth May. There were several Clerks present and
1811 the appearances of business were preserved. Mr. Clifford
begged me to chew him the letter I had received, as he had
such a vast deal of business of this sort; it was necessary to re-
fresh his memory. He took the letter and did not return it,
I never saw it again. Mr. Clifford took down a discription of
the property .Iproposed to mortgage, and made me sign an au-
thority for his raising the money on my account. Ile made me
bring him the leases, and took them from •me. He said, 1
have a better way of raising money for you than upon mort-
gage—mortgaging consumes a great deal of ready cash. ' He
made me fetch him my father's leases, and give him a re.
ference as to my respectability ; he said lie could raise me the
money in a day, he did so much business of that sort for the
most respectable people. lie then made me take him to my
mother's, and made me draw two bills for a hundred pounds
each, on my mother, at three and six months: I said, " Why, I
want*the money for three years; not for three Months:" He
said, " Pshaw, never mind, I will give you an and to
renew your bill from time to time, as they become (hie."
mother accepted the bills: Clifford said, " now call upon -me
to-morrow, and I will give you the value of the bills." lie
gave me his own acceptances in exchange, and said," Mind you
don't blot them, but put them carefully in your pocket-
book." He then • took' me to the City of Carlisle public-
house, and induced me to give up my. mother's acceptatices,
that he might take them into the market, and said, " call upon
me to-morrow. at one o'clock, and I will give you the cash, and
you must then give me back my acceptances, 'they are only
meant. for your security for the night." After he was gone,
I had shrewd suspicions that he was not an honest gentleman,
and 'I went to my attorney, Mr. Dennis, and told him all. that
hadhappened. He advised me to get my bills back again, and
went with me the next day to Ely Place. The clerk said 'that
Mr, Clifford was not at home, and I said, that it was very sir-.
prising that he should not be at borne when he appointed to
give me my money at one o'clock. I waited six ours—and
he never came. During that time many letters arrived, as
l
if from Mr. Clifford to the clerk.—l saw him next day; when
he said that he bad so, much business, that upon his word, he
had not been' able to get' the.rnoney. ',said, upon my Word,
Mr. Clifford, your behaviour is so strange, that, my suspi-
cions have been very much decided.' and my Mintier is In
great distress. I: found Mr. Clifford. was an uncertificated
bankrupt, and was a prisoner in the King's Bench. Ile had
got a day rule 'to meet me at 25, Ely-place.—l sawhiro again ;
I importuned him to give up the bills, for the sake of my mo.
ther and' my own anxiety and' trouble. He said. I had no need
to be under any apprehension? he must take time to consider
of it. Mr:Dennis said, that if yoti'don't give up. the billS, Mr.
Palmer is deterniined to prosecute.you. As to that, said he, it
is nienly an exchange of billi-•-exclinge is no robbery. I af.
terwards went to a Mr. Musgrove, the collector of the rents of
Ely-place, who gave me a letter to Mr. Clifford, at his room in
the King's Bench prison, Cliffordsaid, you have made a fine stir,
a fine fuss about the bills ; how came you to Lind out Mr. Mus-
grove? he has written. a very feeling letter .for-you I' wish to
oblige Mr. Musgrove; call again, and I may give you up the
bills, you have made such a stir. Clifford afterwards said, you
ought to be more cautious ; you have learnt a lessor.that
might be of service to you through life. He said, the agree-
ment we have.signedwill be found to contain no promise to pal(
you money. After much trouble and threats, I got the bills
back fronihim, on my paying him 4/. 10s. as his charge& tbr
his trouble. He made me copy a letter which made it appear,
that I had Solicited this termination, on the ground of 'my not
being able to get his acceptances discounted. After signing
this letter, he would not give up but one of the bills. Ile said
that he had a point to carry with Mr. MusgTove, and he would
give up the other bill to him.—He then claimed, a further sum
of 2/. 14s. of me, and threatened to proceed against me on it ;
I was afterwards arrested on my second bill.--. Cross-examined
by Mr. ADOLPHUS : The security given was my own property,
and that of my mother's. My own property brought in 13s. fid.
A week, subject to a ground rent of eight pounds a year. The
other premises were not so profitable. • I have another business
besides my plumbing and glazing ; I sometimes preaches the
Gospel of the Lord to every benighted neighbourhood ; I only
employs myself in preaching for the laird, when a better em-
ployment can't be had.--[Much laughter throughout the.
Court.]
Mr. A no LPICUS--I dont eXactly understand what you mean
by a benighted neighbourhood. • •
The LORD Crum, JUSTICE—Come, come, don't let us
have any of this matter.
Cross-examination resumed.—.A letter, purporting to be
'Mr. Clifford's answer to the advertisement, was put in the
hands of the witness; would not be positive, but thinks that is
not the letter.—[The witness, against the wish of the Court, wss
here obliged again to narrate the whole transaction with Clifford.]
,The two letters now produced are the handwriting of Mr. Mus-
grove ; the two other letters produced are my. handwriting ;
I employed Mr. Harmer as my attorney, whose clerk wrote to
Mr. Clifford the two letters now produced; never passed any
accommodation-hills in my life, nor offeredao pass Mr.
lord's bill; he offered me the value of his bill in my hand, ten
days after it become due. I have raised upon my property
1,100/. at 8 per cent. Clifford offered to get the property out
of the mortgagee's hands, and to .let me have >the money upon
it at 4 per cent ; lie nearly got all that property out of my
hands. _ _ -

e-examtned by Mr. GURNEY : I was arrested by the at-
torney who had offered me 1001. 7s. to redeem Clifford's bill ;
the arrest was the next day.—George Dennis, attorney,
corro-
borated the testimony of the preceding witness.
Elisabeth Palmer deposed to having accepted Clifford's bill,
at his persuasion, as a security for the money he was to ad-
vance to the plaintiff. Clifford said 'that her son was too
honest ; he was only fit fur a niat for rogues to tread upon. If
he knew more law and less religion, it would be better for him.
She offered Clifford thirteen sovereigns to get her acceptance

back; he refused.
Charles Gaye, solicitor in a commission of bankruptcy against
Clitlbrd : He had not got his certificate; he paid no dividend
to his creditors.—Cross-examitied : The defendant had lived in
Ely-place from 1822. The assignees, but not the creditors of
Mr. Clitihrd; have received a compoSition of their debts.
Ambrose Parish, clerk of the King's Bench prison, proved
Clifford to have been in that gaol from Nov. 2. 1822, to the pre-
sent time. He had had the rules, hut has long been within the
walls. Therenvere fourteen actions against him, and he had
discharged eight of them.
David Spence porter of Ely-place, knew Mr. Cliflbrd ; he was
four quarters of iiis quarterage or rates in arear.
Timothy Greathead, treasurer of thesates of Ely-place ; Mr.
Clifford was in debt four half-yearly rates, amounting to about
31. 10x. each.—Thomas Morgan, baker, proved the defendant
to be indebted to bin' in about 21.
Mr. Anorxutia took objections to the counts in the indict.
ment., . The Court held that the first count was bad, inadvance as tru
the
money out of his own funds. - The second, third; and fourth
counts charged the defendant with professing to procure this

itt
money, with a view of defrauding the prosecutor, the Coi
over-ruled the objections, and held the counts to be good.
Mr ADOLPHUS addressed the Jury aiconilderable length.
He complained that the cause had been mixed up with extra-
neous matter, in order to prejudice the Jury against the de-
fendant. He commented upon some appareqt inconsistencies
in the evidence of the prosecutor, and contended that there was
no evidence to prove any fraudulent intention on the part of
the defendant; that the prosecutor had endeavoured to get

Merely because, that during thenegotiation he had altered his
mind as to his mode of raising his money. He put in the litter
written in answer to the advertisement, m prove that theoori-
ginal offer of the defendant was, only to raise money for Oree
months, upon his giving good security. ' ' •
William Owen Humphrey's, a :witness, was titiled.fer the
defence, to prove the delivery..of. the letter in answer to the lid'.

Cross-examined : I saw theletter written and heard it read: it '
is the same letter I delivered to the.prosecutor in answer to the -
advertisement. 1 will swear it. lam clerk to Mr. Clifford;
Clifford kept but one clerk; I was not his clerk, I was only
his assistant ; I went to his office to learn what I could; 1 sal
now out of employ; I lived last with a Mr. King, of Suf.
folk-street, but only for a week; I have lived at another, but
only for three months; I don't know when f left Mr. Clifford.
and I can't say when I went to him; Clifford had one real
clerk, and two others that appeared to be clerks on particu
lar occasions; one was a sereant .out of livery, there Were
clerks with an appearance of something to do; my business was
to go to the Coffee-house and . to read advertisements, and to
answer such as I thought would do, such as the plaintiff's ;

upper part of Mr. Clifford's premises.
111 r. GURNEY commented 'upon the general infamy
of the
transaction, and upon the audacity and turpittude of the de.
fence. He animadverted upon the shameful evidence of the
last witness, particularly in his swearing to the letter written
in answer to the advertisement. The defendant had in this
instance over-reached himself,
had copied the date of the bills instead of the date of tah_e
original letter—a mistake which put the forgery beyond
question. The defendant, stood self-convicted.
