had an intention to get over the rail,:
ing to get to the assistance of the deceased ;
I found the soldiers determined to stand there,
and that there was no possibility of getting out
to assist the deceased with safety. 'l'wa or three

minutes after the deceased &If there was a cry

of" Shame, shame 1" and-"• Murder t" The peo-
ple came to, the spot where the man fell and

cried " Shame !" The stones were thrown from
the Park. The deceased was removed before the
witness went out of the Park ; no admo►►ition
that I heard had been given to the mob ; I
did not see a peace officer; the police. officers
were not active. After the Life Guards had
proceeded to the Edgware-road, two parties had
come back. It was one of the first party that
shot the man. I said as they passed, that is
the man who shot the deceased. The soldier
is a young man, about 23 ; apiddy long face.

The Ccm.6NEß—They are to be called out et hafr-past ele-
ven o'clock to-morrow morning, in Hyde-Park; should you
know him again ?
Winless_l do not think.l should know him again.
A Juror—Did you et"C, any Magistrate ?
Witness I saw Sir Robert Baker, not at Cumberland Gate,
but in Park-lane.
Mr. H Alt ME a suggested that all the witnesses who had seen
the men fire, bad better attend to see the regiment drawn up.
The Witness expressed some reluctance to attend the Bar-
rack-yard.
COROWER—If you stood to see the soldiers when the shots
were flying, you surely would not be afraid to see them drawn
out"?
Witness—l should not be afraid.

It was then arranged that the witness should attend at the
Barrack-yard, as be might probably recognize the soldier who
shot, as he supposed, at the deceased.

Joseph Ilawkesworth, of No. 1, Woburn-place,
Russell-square, sworn. lam in the service of
Mr. Bernal, viho resides there ; I went to Hyde
Park, as a spectator, on the day of the Queen's
funeral ; all was quiet there ; I followed amongst
the crowd through the Park. The procession
moved at a quick pace, and the people followed ;
I was before the procession ; when I came to the
gate, I saw the soldiers knocking about their
swords, to prevent the people corning through ;
they were Life Guards ; I, with a great push,
got through the right hand side of the gate into
Oxford-street ; I turned round to the left, to
get of the way, and went towards Tyburn Turn-
pike ; when I was proceeding that way, I heard
pistols firing behind me ; hearing the cry of
" Murder !" 44 Shame !" I looked round, and a
soldier, marked• on the left cheek, snapped a
pistol at me, which missed fire ; whether the
mark was a mole or mud, I cannot say ; it was
on the cheek bone ; it was a muddy day.
Mr. HAitsoN—There might have been mud
thrown at him.

The Witness continued--I saw a man who had
been shot suppOrted by two men ; he wus dressed
in a fustian jacket ; I saw him before the pistol
was snapped at he T 1,116 pistol :rniSsed tire 4 tie
took deliberate aim at me, and I was standing
perfectly quiet with an umbrella in my hand ; no
stones were thrown; no insult was given to the
soldiers but the cry of "shame," after the de-
ceased was shot ; I did not see .any Magistrate
or civil officer; when the pistol was pointed at
me, only a woman was near me.
Cross-examined by Mr. HAssom.—l did not
see•arrr stones thrown at the soldiers near Cum-
berland-gate ;. when the man fell, several persons
went to his assistance ; within one or two mi-
nutes I saw the man fall ; I did not see any one
touch the horses of the hearse ; I could not iden-
tify the man who presented the pistol; he had a
pale face.
The witness was ordered to attend in the Park to-morrow.

William Spratt, oLßussell-street, Bloomsbury,
shoemaker, sworn,:je-I was leaning against the
rails in the Park, on the south side of Camber-
land-gate ; I went through the gate, and got into
Oxford-street, and fixed myself against the Park-
wall, as close as I could ; the Guards came
through with drawn swords, and began to drive
the people in every direction : one of them struck
me ; they drove at the people with ali the force 1
they could : the people were calling " the City!
the City !" One of the Life Guards, a farrier,
with a blue coat, made A_ cut at me ; I held up
my umbrella and saved my head. (Here he pro-,
duced the umbrella, which was cut through.)
I- did not mean to frighten the soldier ; I ran
away, he ran after me and fired a pistol, the ball
whizzed by me ; I heard firing all round me ;
each man appeared to act for himself; I heard as.
many as twenty-five shots ; the man who fired at
me had a horse-shoe on his arm ; I did not see
a single police-officer ; I saw one of the Guards
draw his pistol and shoot a man dead ; when he
had done it he laughed.
Examined by Mr. HANsoN.---11 saw no stones
thrown until after the soldiers fired ; Cumber-
land Gate was open during the time he- saw the.
transactions;"' the heirse did not stop till I got
up ; there was no annoyance of the soldiers until
after they fired ; the soldiers were cowards—
they fired at those who had done nothing-. The
witness was ordered to inspect the troops to be
drawn up to-morrow.
Brook Page sworn.—T am a French polisher,.
residing at No. 9, Warwick-street ; I was at
Cumberland Gate on the day of the Queen'afu-
neral; I was at the en:l of Cumberland-street,
opposite Cumberland Gate ; I saw fte funeral
arrive ; the Blues were guarding the hearse, the
Life Guards were clearing away the ground to
turn the hearse into the Edgware-road ; the
crowd was great, and the Guards cleared the
street by chopping, riding, and cutting . the
people ; they then began to throw stones at the
soldiers from both sides of the way—l cannot say •
where they got them ; there had been no firing
at that time; the people kept throwing- stones
until the soldiees got to Tyburn Gate, then
they began .fir 4 g ; the stones were gravel stones ;
the first firing I beard was near Lord Hunt-
ley's house ; opposite Tybure-gate. I was pushed
along with the crowd to the corner of Edgeware-
road. The people were much pressed in getting
away from the soldiers. The first I saw fire a
pistol was the Officer of the Life Guards ; he
levelled his pistol down the street towards St.
Giles's. There were many people in the street

LONDON,
TUESDAY, A UG,U,ST 21 , 1821.

The French Papers of Saturday, which ar-
rived this morning, -bring strong confirmation of
the- hostile intentions of Russia and Austria
against Tnrkey, and indicate a wish on their
part of restoring the Greek Empire, in further-
ance of which project, overtures have been made
to Piince ALEXIS. of COMNEsus, the lineal des-
cendant of the ancient Emperors of the East.—
We extract the article communicating this

portant intelligence
44 We read in the Gatetic,.de Lyon the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from Milan, of the 2d.
of August :----, ' •

6 Baron it'S STANFON pZIQS,I through ,< fir town
on his way to Novarra, and left- the germ of a
piece h.F news which was soon circulated through-
out the whole city, and excited equal surprise
and joy. It would seem that, in consequence
of a resolution taken by the Courts of Peters-
burgh and Vienna, and which has been acceded
to by the august Savereig,ns composing the Holy
Alliance, overtures are to be made to the Prince
of COMNENUS, at Novarra, the descendant of the
ancient Emperors of the East. There is no
longer any doubt that all the Christian Powersyy
have at length decided on making use of this
certain and only means of reconciling the rights
of humanity with the cause of legitimacy.'

" in support of this ixportant news the Jour-
nal de Lyon et du Midi gives also the following
details, ol;serving at the 7,lme ;time that the Intel-
Jigence was received through an indirect channel,
and that it cannot therefore vouch for its authen-
ticity :--

A personage of distinction, attached to the
Russian diplomasy, had an interview at Novarra
with Prnc.g ALEXIS, of Om:menus, 14 lineal de-

scendani of the Emperors of the East, and present-
ed to him an autograph letter from the Emperor
ALEXANDER. At the close of a long conference,
the Northern Envoy took his departure in the
night, without any thing transpiring respecting
the motives of his journey ; but since his depar-
ture, an Austrian Guard of Honour has beer.
placed at the door of the residence of the Prince
of COMNENUS, with a rose-coloured and w n..•
e
flag, bearing the monogram of Christ, the armo.,
rial ensign of the ancient Emperors of Constanti-

The cause of Greece seems to gain.additionali

a high character belo.nging to one of the oldest

German families passed through Frankfort to

and fourteen of his companions in arms proceeded
to the same destination. It is also reported that
JOSEPH BONAPARTE, the, two LALLMIANDS, LE-
