his confession, in consequence of the advice he
received from hint. A Captain Mockler had
called on him at Kilmainham, a few days previous
to the tiff appointed for his execution. The Cap-
tain stated the object of the visit to be, to kneiiv

whether he (the witness) had ever -said'- that he
intended to•go•dowo to Memb, to try whether he'
could get a.shot•at him .(Mockler). •- Witness de-
nied he. had .ever spoken of •or intended any such.

was told, tle,t lie had Stith a purpOse in View..
Mockler- theo proceeded to make some reneaCKs±,
from which witness unnersiood-that there wbuld
be some hopes of 'pardon if.he made a distovery.'
Witness thereupon observed, that as for Mr.
O'Connor, be had always given him the best aa-
vice., and that he would not be -where he was if
he had taken the. advice. [Witness was asked,
whether it was true, that O'Connor had given hint - •
the advice, and he answered, it not truer He •
was then•asked by a Juror, whether at the time "
he made that statetnentto'Mochler, his Clergyman
had not beer. attending him, and for a consider-
able time previous ; and whether he had not re-
ceived -the sacrament from 'hint ? To whiCh he
replied, that his Clergyman, Doctor Lube, had
been-attending. hint nearly three weeks, ,and that
he had administered the sacrament to hint at
differeot times.l The-lay cif execution was draiV-
ing near, and Dr. Lobe had held out no hopes of
his being saved. ' And that, notwithstanding all
these circumstances, he told the falsehood to Mr.'
Mockler, not wishing to implicate Mr. O'Connor.
The day atter the conversation with Mockler,
Dr. Lithe ban called on .him. Witness then told
him he had something particular to communicate ;
that hopes of pardon had been held out to hint,
it he would give inforthation, and wished to know
whether it would be criminal in him to give in-
formation against his accomplices. Dr. Lobe
answered, it would be doing a good act to rid the
country of such characters, ant advised him to
give the information. NVitness then wrote to
Capt. Mockler, who came to him, and he disclosed
every thing. Mockler was accompaoied by. Al-
derman Parley, who took witness's io±-ormation.

whether Walsh bad contributed to the poor or

when he was carded. He did not doubt but
Walsh was a Catholic. He .did not mind what

he is now 27,-and. thought be deserved has Bing ;
it would be better for a man to be hanged than

ter to break the Carders' oath, which he had

never employed to work directly by Mr. O'Con-
nor, but was employed by MidCeon, who
was Mr. O'Connors task•man ; M'Keon was not
present at the dividing of the booty, being em-
ployed in keeping the other'workmen front the

'Office, Stated, that iit'cOnseqaente of information
Lt taichhe recefred through Owens, he went to
Dangan, in company with Alderman Darley and
Captain Africkher. • He proceeded to the house of
'.the younger Mr. O'Connor, on the Dattgan
demesn'e, and situated lit a short distance from
the prisoner's house, and there found the two
blunderbusses which had, been exhibited to the
last witnesses. He found thein in the bed-room,
Of Mr. O'Connor, stan:iing against the chimney,
in a conspicuous situation, and not in any man-

ing a-wateh, and seized an article of that &scrip-
. lion:which he had met•with, but found on exa-
tnination it was not such a one as was. de-
serib'ed 'to hint. He, therefore, returned it.—
This 'witness next proceeded to state, that he
Met Mr, _O'Connor at the Assizes of Naas,
wltefe he atiende'd to prosecute Owens. He
'ohsei:ven-in a jocose way, that " wherever the
Owens were to be tried he was sure to meet Mr.
O'Cootior." Mr. O'Connor replied, that "they
were as great vagabonds as existed." The witness
menfioned, that notwithstanding that assertion of
Nr.p'Connor, he appeared at the trial, and gave
rtiese persons a general good character, which
-Surptised wi•ncss so much, that he had him cro.,.;s-
- examined as to the fact of his having had the con-
versation with him respecting .these individuals
previous to the trial. Mr. O'C. as witness affirmed,
Lad not denied that he talked of the Owens as
Leing'very head persons, bat that he Was not mei-
, nits when he spoke' of them. Witness got no-
thing in the house' of Mr. O'Connor, jun, but-the
bluirderbusses—and that as to the house at Dan-'
tine searching of that place was left to Alder-
Irian parley.
On trelig, cross-examined by .Mr. Wallace. be
repeated that tht' blunderbusses were quite exposetL
Tie was asked, whether he thought the mere
circninStance of blunderbusses being found where
it wits guessed they were, iroved any thing crimi-
nal 'against any man. " Now," said Mr. Wallace,
'• suppose a man conjectured that you would find
a side-board in a certain place, and that you bap-
pini'd to find it, because such an article would be
in the sante place in any house that had any fur-
litatre, would you imagine that circumstance was
a proof of guilt !" Witness—" No, if there, were
unt., other circumstances which would form a
ground,of suspicion." This witness further stated,
that he found the blunderbusses in the state iii
which they appeared in Court, without locks. lie

answered, • that he believed it was }Hwy gene-

admitted he thought they would do so, if they had

whether the character Mr. O'Connor had given

be, saiei he could- net state special phrases, hot

he Learned Judge asked, why there had been

Mr. M.`2`4LLY said, it was true there was a
crriss•exatetnatton on the part of the Crown, but
th.it the char'acter-which was given of the Owens
Was, notlvithstandilig, a qualified one.
Nicha rd Waring, the other approver, was examined at
tnuele length. A great portion of Lis evidence, relative to the
circurostarrees of the robbery, &c. agrevaewith that given by
Owens. He said, that he was not. present at the consults-
Celt' at Dangan, havi. g had to go for a blunderbuss which he
had' concealed in a bog. He stated, that on the return of
tl:e party from the robbery, Mr. O'Connor had opened the
gate for them, hoping they had good lack; and that he (Mr.
trGeneor) had held the blunderbuss of one of the party
while be went into APKton'e house to light his pipe. He
dietiectl.e e dinned that M.Keon advised him to cease robbing
'houses for arms, tic. as it was an unprofitable purstrit, and
take op the better occupation of mail-robbing.. He stated,
that he, as well as his associate Owens, was concerned in. in-
uotuerable crimivalities. He had taken the Carder's oath at
the instigatiott of O'Connor, hut his description of it was
different from that which Owens had given. .it bound per-
sees, according to his statement, merely to " support

back—his successor on the backs of Walsh'e legi. His state-
ment of some of the eircnerstances of the dtt:.ion of the
booty was similar to that of Owen's. He alleged, however,
that the adjustment did,not teee place until above 5 o'clock
in the evening, and that Erten the time Mr. O'Connor placed
himself on the flitch untilthat hour he took no refreshment.
—Mr. Wallace asked, whether the rest of tile gang had not
taken refreshment ? Witness answered they bad., " Then,"
sald Mr. W. " it appears you acted very unceremoniously to-
wards. your Captain." On being again questioned about
Waleon's advice relative to robberies, be admitted that it
was azainst all crimes of that description, as they would only
lead to the gallows. Lie was reminded by Counsel that lee
pave a diikeent statement lietOre, to which he replied that

John Allen, farmer, was the next witness. lie remiinber-
ed the 4th of October, lel 2. lie saw Mr. O'Connor on that
day, having received a note from that Gentleman, desiring
hint to call on him. Mr. O'C. asked whether he had not
heard of the mail robbery of the ad, and he answered, he bad.
He then asked, what would wleness think if he heard the mail
had been found en Minion demesne ? Witness answeredebe

To which he replied., that be never abused any confidence
that. was 'reposed in him.' O'Connor then asked him, if he
had not bean security for the gaoler of Trim, and whether he
was not, in 'consequence,' likely to be a sufferer by the escape
of Heavy and Savage. Witness replied, he was security
O'Connor then said, that he'had reason to know that Savage

naster of Summerhill.

Mr. Lobe was- next called. •-Beitsg asked had he given any
advice to Owens on tin' subject of the present prosecution, be
said, that any-professionally private corunruniom he bad with
Owens, he lVa3 not at liberty to diseiose;meaning, as we cup-
pose, in tis capacity as a clergyman ; that Owens had asked
him (Mr. Lobe) " if it would be criminal in him (Owens)
to make a discovery in order to save his own life,. for that
proposals had been =Veto him to that eAct ?" that he -(Mr.
la) asked Owens had he any discovery of importance to make ?
that Owens answered in the affirmative; that he (Mr. Lithe)
immediately laid a solemn injunction on Owens, not to name
the parties to bim (Mr. Lube), inasmuch, and for that it did
not belong to him to be made acquainted with it—but added,
that if he (OsVens) knew of any gaurr, of robbers who were
disturbing the peace of the country, he (Owens) would " du
well" to " divulge it," and that, provided he " adkfrid to the
truth," he (Mr. lthe) Saw nothing criminal in it."

sence of a third person, one ReYnelds ; and after, as we have

Owens accompanied him. Witness heard that Morris was
to go to the country, and ,to cease calling on Mr. O'Connor.
On his cross-examination, Witness was asked, whether Mr.
O'C. did not order this person to discontinue his visits. Ile
answered, all he knew was that Morris was to gob the coon-
tryaind not tall any more.
Robert filbert, a Dublin police officer, stated that he or
rested Mr. O'Connor, at Palace Antic, ip the County Cork,
the house of Mr. Barnard, a gist rate of that county. He
showed the warrant to Mr. Borhard. Illhen Mr. O'Connor
saw it, he said it was illegal, inasmuch as'the word " felo-
nious" was not in it. .11e believed Mr. ()Tolima made that
observation for the put pose of showing the offenu:e with which
lie was charged was bailable. Witness thought it was bail-
able. He did • not know against whom be had the warrant,
until he went to Cork, and t Makin when. he saw Mr. O'Con-
nor and the respectehle house be was in, he might have made
a mistake as to the person. On asking Mr. O'Coaurr whi-

cuffs with hini from Dublin, and was not of opinion, thltt he
would render himself agreeable to persons in power if be had

as Counsel for M'Econ, said, it wasaiot pecessary, fur him to
call a single witness.
Mr. WALLACE, as leading Counsel for Mr. O'Connor, said,
.•lie would pursue the same course as Mr. APIs/ally, if life only
was at. stake ; hot here the honour of a Gentleman, which
was more dear than life itself, was at stake, and for that pur-
pose alone he would call witnesses,, by whom Mr. O'Connor's
character would he so purged, that malice itself dare not raise
its shaft against him.
• Francis Burdett 'O'Connor,- Esq. was then
.called. The
two blunderbusses above spoken of were produced : he stated, •
that he haul found them in a rabbit-bole in the demesne of
I)angan, in the,November following the mail robbery; they
were then in their present state, without hicks. He brought
them to a hones, occupied by his brother and two sisters. Soh.
sepently his brother removed to a new house, and these:.
blunderbusses were broughtaway, he supposed by the work-
men, with other Innther, out of the store-room in which they
were Originally detiosited, and put into the room %Abele his
brother slept, in the new house, and laid against the lire-
place. . He was present when the plundered mail bags were

circumstance was-sent to the Post Office.'
There was no.cross-examinat on of this Vitness.

was there, and examined as a witness. He said, he once
thought the prisoners were persons of good etiaracter, but
hail changed his opinion of them.
Mr. MiNally further stated, that he conceived the declara-
tion of Mr. O'Connor prejudicial to the prisoners..
In a cross-examination of this witness by Serjeant JEBB,
he stated that Mr. O'Connor was cross-exaMineal by the
Crown Lawyers on the trial alluded th. He could not explain
the object of the crass-examination, but he w:,O positive that •

-Michael Parry, Esq. Agent to Mr.- O'Connor, deposed,
that, on the 24 of November, 1811, he had remitted to Mr.
O'Connor 4,7931. —that, on the 17th of August, 1812, he re-
ed him I,4ool.—and that, on the 27th September,- 1819,
he sent hint soul. fur the purpose of purchasingcatt le at the
fair of Bollinasloe. He had atielosed•the 5001. 111 R. letter to
Mr. O'C., and had written to tin: Bank of Ireland, making
them acquainted with the circumstance, and desiring theta
not to pay the notes to any order but that of Mr. O'Connor.
His letter to Mr. O'Cl, was then in Court, and he said he
would, if permitted, refer to it. The letter was lothded to
hint, and he read from it a mention of the enclosure of the.
money. Since the commeocement of bis intercourse lei, b
Mr. O'Connor, their money dealings amounted to. 25,0001.
and that at the time of the alleged robbery, he would have
transmitted him 2,0001. i( he wanted it. In the course,of his
dealings, ne never Met with a more honourable or upright
man. Witness further stated, that the amount of Mr. O'C.'s
j rental in Cork was 1,5001. per annum. ,

Jeremiah Keller, Esq. Barrister-at4aw, stated be
known Mr.O'Connor for a great .Yeail, during
which they.lul.d-!--::: tiends. Mr. O'Connor Was
fumerii of the Munstei Bar. Speaking generally of his
et:trader, he conceived it to he excellent. He would men-
tion an instance of his disinterestedness and generosity. He
had married a Lady in early life without a fortune, notwith-
standing which he had made a,most liberal settlement upOn
her. Witness knew him afterwards to support the lady's

would be guilty of such an act as had been imputed to him.

O'Connor necessary, mid of Whi.'h he, Sir Francis, had never

` July 29.—The laws relating to mi-
litaryserviee are carrying into execution here with
the greatest rigour. An those liable to serve in
the Land wehr are placed without distinction in
the first and second dais. Those eren who served
in the first. Campaign as I.7tl.Zinteers, but who on
ile.oklut of-their domestic relations, or some other
dirt not serve in ,the second, are included
in the second levy.
.‘` VIENNA, JULY 27.—1 t is said a conspiracy
has been developed at Constantinople, in which
the Janissaries were to have been chief actors.—
Their Aga, it was thought, was the author of the
plan : he was arrested, and imprisoned in a strong
castle near Constantinople, where he died. It is
not known whether his death was .according to
the course of nature, or whether he. was put to
death in this retired spot, in order to avoid any
commotion which might have been excited by his
execution in the city. It appears very • likely
that the formidable privileges which, the Janissa-
ries have Wien@ exercised will at length receive
some check, as the Grand Seignor is firmly re
solved to put an end to these abuses.
" The Pil-771 has received, up to the end of
the most flattering reports upon the state
of affairs in the provinces of Asia. The revolt in
Trebisonde is entirely put down ; the beads of
the chief actors in the sedition have been sent, to.
Constantioople and exposed. The other Asiatic
provinces, where the fire of sedition was just
blazing forth, have also been appeased." .

[From the United States Gazette, July 81

" SavAsNaa, JUNE Subject most talked of here is,
the probability of a speedy cessi,,n of the Floridas to-the
United States. That it will take place, every one believes—
and that belief is strengthened hf the fact, that the Spanish
Authorities in those provinces speak of such an event as cer-
tainly about to happen; and the residents who hold land, an-
ticipating its increased value when annexed to our Gorern-
ment, demand for it a very high price."

The Company's ship Lady Campbell, arrived off
Portland yesterd tv ; she left Calucutta the 12th
Febrpary, Madras the 30t1i March, and St. He•
lens the 19th June.—The Conqueror, Admiral
PAMPLIN, is reported to have arrived at the Cape
about the 6th of June, at which time the Ceesar,
with Lord Amneasr on board, was said to be

The following is the only article of any interest
to-day' io our Port News :--

" WHITBY, AUG 10.—Arrived the Henrietta,
KBARSLN:Y, from Greenland, with twelve fishi
and the Lively, from ditto, with seven fish."

The curiosity generally excited by the Trial of
Mr. Rooatt O'CONNOR has induced us this day to
give the • proceedings 'minx at large, though our
Readers arc already in possession of what passed
on the first day, and the result of the whole;
Our polities essentially differ from those of Mr.
O'CONNOR, as our Readers need not be told,
but, considering hiM as a Gentleman and a man
of 'considerable property,• it was impossible for us
to suppose that he could have descended to such a
low crime as was charged upon him. And it ap-
pears that his Accusers are infamous wretches,
whose evidence would hardly have been credible,
'if it had been consistent it was•howeser contra-
dictory, and was properly held in contempt, and
Mr. O'CONNOR was therefore - properly acquitted,
nor shall, we call his acquittal " an escape," as has
been. done• by one of our competitors. So far,
we trust, ive mair fairly assume 'the credit of
justice and liberality, towards a Gentleman
whose political principles we have long held in
much more than disapprobation, but we can-
not agree with . The British Press in thinking
that politics have had any thing to do with the
prosecution. Mr. GrCoNson must have seen toes
'much of the consequences of his political opinions,
1 •
if he still retains them, in the misfortunes which
:have fallen on a part'of his family, and many of
his friends, to be' disposed tJ engage with ardour
in support of such opinions, and accordingly he
seems to have retired into a peaceable enioamene
of his own domain. Governmetc, therefore, if
disposed to annoy him could have had no provoca-
tion, or, we may say temptation, so to do. But The.
British Press expresses its sorprize at " the cre-.
dality of Government in listening for a moment to'
such an imagination, coming too from a convicted
and sentenced felon." When such a charge was
made, is it to be supposed that Government should
,suffer it to pass -without notice ? Besides, the
charge in question was brought against Mr.
O'CONNOR by the neighbouring Magistrates; and,
therefore, if Government had refused to listen to,
it, it might well have been accused of timidity,
fear, and a total want of that spirit, energy
and attention, to Law and Justice, which
ought to characterize all its operations. The
British Press says, " that Mr..O'CuNNOR.S poll.'
tical sentiments are well known, and his active
opposition so formidable." -If so there was the
more reason for Government ,to attend to' the
charge, lest it might be supposed to pass it over
Hon that very account. But it was its positive
duty to attend to such a charge, and not to regard
the rank, fortune, or 'connexions of the accw;ed
party. But, as we have said, it does not appear
'that Mr, O'Cototoß bud latterly engaged in po-
litical matters, ,or was likely' to do so, and
therefore the arguments urged by The Bri-
tish Press against Government on this head must
fall to the ground. We need say no more on the
subject of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ; for, politics
out of the question, he acted on this occasion
like -a man of honour„ a gentleman, and a friend.;
and if he had acted otherwise, lie would not have
been entitled to any of those distinctions.

We bare this day given the remaining part of
Mr. OWEN'S System, and a graphic outline of the
ground-plan and edifices necessary to carry it
into effect. Mr. OWEN is an enthusiast, no doubt,
and has bee❑ somewhat harsh in what he has said
of Ministers, but, as he gives the present Mini-
sters full credit for the most honourable princi-
ples, and laudable intentions, and only conceives
