FOR TILE DEPPNCV.

William Sheppard, a private in the Bth Hustlers, was
exonined. He was quartered' in Kilroy's Hotel on the
night that Sullivan was shot ; knows whare'Prendergast's
garden is situated ; some of Mr. Ltutibert's men were in it
on the evening of the 28th ofJune ; a violent, attack was
made on than by some of Mr. Martin's friends; heard
the cry of murder from the garden ; witness alarmed the
gentlemen in Kilroy.% who ran out armed to protect their
men ; the mob ran
.towards the doors of the garden before
witness got down • Iciness said to the gentfemen at.Kil-
roy's, who were ;hen at dinner; " for God's sake gentle-
men, come down stairs, for the mob in the garden are
committing murder;" the serjeant-major immediately or-
dered the troop out.
Walter Butler, Walter Blake, and Joseph Zouche,
Esqrs., members of Mr. Lambert's Committee, and who
were with Mr. Lambert's party when the alarm was given,
proved distinctly that the gentlemen, on reaching the
shambles, expostulated with the mob, And advised theni
to disperse; that Walter Blake was ~struck with a stone
on the hoard, pelted the gentlemen with stones; and that
no shots were fired until the gentlemen had been fre-
quently attacked, and their lives in peril.
The Learned Judge then summed up the evidenee.
After his Lordship had concluded, the Jury retired for a
few niinutes, and returned their verdict, acquitting all the

prisoners.
The Judge then called the prisoners to the front of the
dock, and in a very solemn and impressive address, ex-
pressed his perfect concurrenee with the verdict of the
Jury. His Lordship hoped that the prisoners' and their
friends would not entertain any violent or vindictive feel-
ings towards the persons who prosecuted, or those by
whom the prosecution was instituted.
The announcement of the verdict, and the address of his
Lordship, were received with the greatest acclamation by
anutrierous and highly respectable auditory.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Etoile of Tuesday.)

Pltnrs, Juts 31.—The Revolutionary Journals gave us
yesterday, the names of the new Portuguese Ministers.
"We doubt this news very much, since the change of the
Ministry was not to take place till the 29th. We do not
believe that any hopes can be entertained, that a charter
can proceed, which has been decreed by the legitimate
'authority, under the direction of the friends of the French
Revolutionists, and so prompt an informatio» of the new
ministers of Portugal, should be a proof of connexions
fatal to that country. We have not forgotten the series
of attempts directed at once against the throne and coun-
try—against France and the society of Europe, which sig-
nalised the Revolutions .of 'Lisbon and Madrid, nor who
where the men at the heed of those proceedings. We
still remember the trial of Sanquaire Souligne, and his con-
neetion with the English radicals, and the revolutionists
or Spain, Piedmont, and Portugal.
On, the 31st, the oath of the three orders was to be
taken to the Charter of Don Pedro.

We know not where several Journals found the.news
of the appointment of Sir W. A'Court to the post of Mi-
nister at Madrid. The latest letters from that city do not
mention it,

We are ignorant where Lord Cochrane is at this mo—
ment, but he ought to be at Napoli erelong. The opinion
in England is, that we ought to expect from Lord Coch-
rane all that craftiness and boldness can cause to be under-

LISBON, JULY 15.

PROCLAMATION.

PORTUGUESE !—The Regency of. the Kingdom is about
to relieve you from anxiety, and to fix your attention
upon Decrees which interest you generally, and which
his Most Faithful Majesty, Don Pedro. the Fourth; has
deigned to issue from his Court at Rio Janeiro.--
With these Decrees will be also' published the Consti-
tutional Charter of the Portuguese Menarchy, which the
same Sovereign has deigned to decree, and which, accord-
ing tit-hiS intentions, must be sworn to by the three
Orders of the State, in order that it may govern the king=
(im of Portugal and its Dependencies. In the mean
time,, the Regency informs you that this Charter differs
essentially from the Constitution produced by infatuation
in )822, and which contained principles incompatible with
each other, and condetnned by experience. The charac-
ter of the Constitutional Charter which his Most Faithful
Majesty gives you, 'is quite another thing. It is not a
forced concession; it is a voluntary and spontaneous gift
of the legitimate power of his Majesty, and matured by
his profound and Royal wisdom. This Charter tends to
terminate the contest befween two extreme principles,
which hive agitated the' universe. It summons all Por-
tuguese to reconciliation; by the mine means which have
served to reconeile other people ; by it are maintained,
in all ther vigour, the religion of our fathers, decorum,
and the rights and dignity of the Monarchy; all the
Orders of the State are reSpeeted, and all are alike
interested in uniting their efforts to surround and
strengthen the Throne, to contribute to the common
geod,-and to secure the preserVation and amelioration of
the country to which they owe their existenee, and 'of
the society Of which they form part ; the ancient ingtitu-
tions are adapted and- accommodated to our age,
_es' far as
the lapse of seven centuries will permit• and finally, this
Charter has prototypes among other nations, who are
esteemed amongst the'moSt civilized and the Most happy.
It is -our- duty-to 'await tranquilly the execution of this
Charter, and of the preparatory acts which it prescribes.
If any, among,you should, by words or actions, aggravate
resentments, excite hatred, or inspire vengeance, and in-
terpose between the provisions of the law and its execu-
tion, he will be considered as a disturber of public order,
end as an enemy of the, Sovereign and of' his country ;
and he willhe punished with the utmost iigour of the law.
The itegeney.rinttors itself that the 'Portoftneae pe ph
bothfrom.thoir 'natural eharaetei and for the Cr coywimOn
in-
threat, will recognise, on this occasion, hoth what is their
Most importalitauty, and the way in which they may be-
cUrne prinnipilly useful.
