ptoceedings of .he Special Commission, .the :Bench;
were intormed that the Prisoner." Redmond, whose
trial was to have taken place, had shot himself in
Newgate,..
LORI SOIBURY observed, that a Atria inquiry
must certainly be set on foot respeaing the cow.
duet of the gaoler and his deputies, as to persons in,
general admitted to visit the Prisoner, but more
particularly those who had been with him that
morning.
Mr. ATTOIO4IY GINEIAL replied, that the
counsel for the Crown would certainly- co.operate
in any method which the Court should deem exile.
dient to adopt, to promote so necessary an inquiry,
and begged leave to inform their Lordships, that a
person admitted to see the Pris ter,, and who had
been at breakfast with him, was apprehended.
Redmond is the man whose house on the • Coal

. COMNIISSION INTELLIGENCE.
, •
I, MONDAY, SEVT. S.
Walter Clare was put to the Bar, on &charge of
nigh 'lreason.
LI Mr. ATTORNEY CFNERAL stated to the Jury,
• that the Crown would otKr such evidence of a trai.
, . tonsils Conspiracy and Ithurredion on the night of
the 23d of July, as could leave no doubt on their
minds of such aft event, They would also att.ltice
particular proofs as to the Prisoner at the Bar hav-
ing. taken an afttve part in that Instirreetton.
"they did intenti-to 'commence the duty of this
day with the trial of it man (meaning Redmond),
whose case would hove been less painful to the
feelings of the Court and Jury, because .it would
he a matter of more importance, and less re-
.
Bret, to bring one man to justice who seduced
others, than tiny one of the infatuated persons
who hail been seducetl.-4n all cases of treasonable
• conspiracies, consisting of numbers of aelors, there
must be ahead to plan, and a 'hand to execute.....
'in the latter description the Prisoner at the Bar
would aprear to have 'belonged. But with reaped
to the derangement of the plan which the Crown
had in view, to bring Ransom/ to, trial, his sod.
den and premiture death,* having ,shot himself
within a few 'minutes in prison, interrupted the
• usual course of justice by the unhappy mates in.
flifting summary punishment on himself. From
• .this incident, lamentable as it might appear in the
consideration of humanity, still it afforded some
consolation to refieft, that the Provisional Govern.
'Mint of the projefted Republic in thi. Country, are
turning those arms against themselves which they
bad fabricated for the deatruttion of their loyal and
peaceable fellow subjefts..
The particular circumstances relative to the
charge against the Prisoner at the Bar were, that,
a loyal marl WhO would be adduced in evidence, on
looking from his window in the neighbourhood
'of .Thomas.screet, on the night when the IrissUr.
retlion took place, 'saw numbers of ,Men armed
with' pikes in the Street, and could particularly
• discern the-Prisoner at the liar with a pike in his hand, in conVersation with onother inan,--artited
. •
• in the same manner, and .could _distilJAly heir the
words uttered by one or other of the two, 4, This
is our night, we will work. pleasant." Though the
evidence of uttering these ,words could 'not be de.
, cidedly advanced against. the Prisoner at the Bar,
' yet that point in.contemplation of law, is irrimaterial,
when the circumstances attached to his condtaare
- enn4ideretl.

On cross-examination _by Mr. MiI4ALLY, the
Witness deposed, that he gave' informations two
days after this transaction to his t4hop-ntates, who
were Yeomen, but did not immediately communi-
cate it to a Magistrate : he informed a :VII. flax.
ham, a Captain in the Liberty RangeM, some
time before a reward was oifered'hy quelimint
for apprehending any of the losurgents
did not know that the proclamation 011'414'
wool. reward for the discovery of the murlthifs
of Lard Kilwarden had been published, nor did he
ever hear of it—but heard of the reward of sot.
offered for the conviaion of any. of the first hun-
dred persons concerned in the rebellion—die- night
was dark, but "till Witness could clearly see the.
Prisoner at the Bar so as to identify him, and could
discover the colour of his coat, which was grey—
had his face applied.to a broken pane of glass in the
window, from which .he looked out.

Alderman Mandert.proved, that the last Witness
informed him of the faa to which he swore about
.a week previous to his lodging examinations be-
fore him; stated the story with reluctance—pro.
wised to lodge exansinations at some future day,
but still postponed. it, :Inching he was aitaid of
being massacred. The Prisoner was not appre.
!tended imtmdiately in consequence of the verbal
communication by the last Witness, but at length
was arrested, on which the last Witneis swore the
examinations before him—no reward or encourage.
ment to give information whatever had been sug.
ges'cd to him, neither did he use any hint to obtain
one—assigned a reason for giving informations
from principle.- He was born anti bred a Loyalist
in. the North of Ireland, and was afritid that, all per.
sons attached like him to the King and Constitution
would shortly be murdered.
Lient, Brady, who attacked the Rebel body-on
the Saturday night alluded to, repeated his former
testimony, from which it appeared that the light
was extremely dark.' On this incident 'N
M'Nally dwelt, in' the Prisoner's defenciyinferring
from the darkneSs of the night, and the position
which the Witness Forrest took at his window,
from whence he did not put out his head--that it
w.:s impossible he could know the Prisoner.
jaws Murray, a carpenter, was adduced its an
Evidence an behalf of ,the Crown, a, little out of
the ordinary role, not having arrived in .Court
until after the Prisoner's case had, been stated.—
Ile proved that he knows the Witness Forrest--
was in his room on Sunday morning the 24.111
of July, where Forrest informed him. that a great
. number -of men, armed with pikes, had bee), at
his window the [light before, and that there was a
.man among theni who lived opposite to him that he
mentioned the man's name, but Witness
did toot recollea it ; Forrest also told him that the
pikes reached over the window which was biit low.
Witness had no ,conversation with Fortes( about the
dress which the man to whom he alhnlcd wolc.
Mama: Prire—knows Forrest 6111Ctt he became
a shop mate of his, which was some time be-
fore the 23,1 July ; told him he saw two men, who
lived opposite to lay their pikes against a
wall, and call to a woman to let them it). This in.
formation Forrest gave ,the Witness either on the
Monday or Tuesday alter the 23d July : he seem.
ed to Witneis to' be witling .to have such per.
sons punished, , but appeared extremely: timid about
having them taken, ur his own name brought in

inundate the low lands, in case of tht approaCh of
an invading Enemy. To do this with eiVe4 the
dams or.dikes must be carried to a great length
on.both sides of-tire valley to be laid under water t
and that mills, houses, and property of every
kind may not be totally destroyed, these dams
must be Multiplied according to the falls of the
stream, that the unthdatitio m ty not go beyond a'con.
venient depth. This is the last desperate species of
ftrtification, and in a country so rich, tits clothed as
o Is, can only be resorted to in the last extremity.
The expence will be enormous, in the'COnsumption
of timber, Zee. but that is the least considtration
with the advisers of the system. What 'll.tll.- we
say, however, of the judgment that cao trust to
such contemptible expedients, instead of the cou-
. rage and patriotism of that ii:numerable Volunteer
flody, Who, with only decent encouragrtnenti are
ready to oppose their breasts to the Enemy as -a
ramprt to the Metropolis.
The Blockade of Havre is another check upon the
ambition of the proud Corsicin Usurper. What
must be the feelings of :that arrogant, vindietiVe
