The " New Reformation," as it is generally
termed by its supporters, is producing very bit-
terth,e fruits in
ofl its progress,

can u
you, that it has given birth to greater divisions,
no inaasttserie-
animosities, and heart-burnings amongst the
people, than even the remnant of the penal
code. The people have had a suspicion of it
from the first, because they perceived that it was
advocated by those who would continue them in
bondage, and who, in the different situations of
landlords, magistrates, and tithe-owners, had al-
ways treated them with the greatest harshness
and oppression. It should not then be a matter
of wonder, that they would suspect those per.
sons, when they pretended to do them a ser-
vice—a service, which they were conscious would
separate them from their priesthood, to whom,
whether rightly or wrongly, they are excessively
attached, and who, in truth, are the only persons
to whom the poor peasant can resort for advice
and assistance ; for even in the Catholic gentry,
the Irish peasant, with few exceptions, places
but slight confidence. The Irish, therefore, con-
sider that the " Sassenachs" not only endeavour
to impose upon themselves, but also to injure
their best friends. The mingled sentiments of
contempt and indignation in their minds have
given rise to the most excited feelings ; and if
the new Reformers were now countenanced by
Government, I am quite positive that it would
be impossible to save the country from scenes of
the most horrible carnage : as it is, they have
been with difficult) restrained from giving way
to their passions. In Fethard, in the county of
Tipperary, where the people are particularly sensi-
tive, nothing but the most judicious measures
saved that town from devastation. The bad
passions which agitate the lower orders, are
beginning to rise amongst their superiors,
and we now see them venting their indignation
in the law courts. There is scarcely a criminal
prosecution in the higher Courts, which may
not now be ascribed to the New Reformation.
Actions for libel are the order of the day ; for
instance, we had yesterday, a new prosecution
in the King's Bench, immediately after I des-
patched my letter. Mr. Bennet, moved on the
part of the Archbishop of Tuam, for a criminal
information against the proprietor of the Weekly
Register, the leading Catholic paper in Ireland.
The subject of prosecution is the reported speech
of the Rev. Mr. Maguire, at Roscommon, where
he stated that a sum of money, and a yearly
stipend, would be allowed him, if he changed his
religion. It was supposed, and I had some
grounds to believe, there was a good deal of
truth in the report, that the contemplated prose-
cution would be against the Freeman's Journal
instead of the Register ; both papers, however,
copied the report from the Dublin Evening
Post ! I do not recollect that the Archbishop
of Tuam's name was mentioned in the Register.
As to the offer having been really made to Mr.
Maguire, " Credat Judeas Apella." But the
great misfortune of all these polemical squabbles
is, that the Irish press is likely to be the princi-
palmanner they are at present
.proceeding, it is not
sufferer ; and if both parties continue in the
unlikely that they will deprive themselves of all
the intellectual weapons of warfare, and have at
last, to bring their disputes to issue, in the open

The most interesting

Ireland for a long time, will take place in the

It will be, I am certain, most numerously and
respectably attended.

DUKE OF BUCCLEIICII'S BIRTII-DAY.-
DALKEITH.—We understand that, in consequence of the
lamented death of the Duchess of BUCCLEVCII, at Rich-
mond, on the morning of the 21st inst. all the rejoicings
intended to have taken place on this day at Dalkeith, it
celebration of the majority of his Grace the Duke of
Bucctrocu and Qurnissifimy, have been suspended.--
Fire-works, illuminations, public dinnero, &c. have been

davit?
Mr. BRouuttam—Ycs, I will hand it to the gen-
tleman. Now, I will read the libel—
" There is a silly gentleman, named French, going about
town, whose eccentricities of mind hare lately taken a very
deplorable turn, namely, a cacoethes loquendi. Under the
influence of this malady, he has ventured to attack every
thing decent and respectable in his country's institutions :
has discovered that Mr. Canning was Anti-Catholic at
heart, and that Mr. Cobbett—the pOlite, insinuating, clas-
sical, and all-accomplished Mr. Cobbett—is among the
best friends that the Papists ever•bed.'!
Now, I ought to state scomithififf is mentioned of
a " malady ' here; and the. 'Learned Gentleman
complains of its being an insinuation of his un-
soundness of mind; but that is positively denied.
The mal..dy complained of is the " cacoethes lo-
quendi " mentioned here, and which Mr. French
knows very well is a malady that often goes under
that name. But my clients deny that they ever
thought of such a thing as unsoundness of mind on
the part of this gentleman, nor ever meant to in-
sinuate it ; it would be cruel to do so, and I state
that I myself believe Mr. French to be admirably
calculated for teaching the classics; and I .ti•ay so,
from having read his book, that a more accomplished
Latin scholar has hardly ever appeared in this cou:itry,
and those gentlemen do not wish to deprive him of
a single scholar he ever had, or ever may have.
" But this is not all ; he has even ventured to pet
the two in direct contrast to each other. Cobbett
Canning, is the cause which the Counsellor (for we
have reason to believe that Mr. French practises at
the Bar) pleads before the Catholic Association, and
we need scarcely add, that he takes good care that the
plaintiff shall not be nonsuited. We are really at a loss
what terms to employ in speaking of such manifest absur-
dity: to think that, in the Nineteenth Century, when the
universal " march of mind" must, we should conceive,
have descended even to Mr. French's level, a person should
be found silly, mad, or mischievous enough to question, not
merely the Catholic sincerity of Mr. Canning, but the de-
testable apostacy of Mr. Cobbett,--to think, we repeat,
that at such an enlightened period so peculiar a nondescript
should exist, affords a melancholy proof that there is no
sounding the depths of human folly. Mr. French, %yellow-.
is a scholar; he may perhaps remember a striking-Ps-
sage in Rabelais' Voyage to the Holy Bottle, wherein
Tap
observes that there is a certain class of politicians who
seem so incurably smitten with self-love that should tin 'y
ever be discovered, lika Narcissus, by the banks o

the nearest bystander to push them into it. Let Mr.
French take the hint. " Mutat° noinive"-e-he knows the

Which he seems to consider as a sort of insinuation
to commit assassination; but I think the intention
is any thing but that

He would contend in opposition to Buell statement',
that the people were in favour of Emancipation. This
they owed to the defensor veritatis who had stood for-
ward boldly, and emancipated them by his writings from
their former prejudices, and the dominion of parsons. it

to this happy change they are indebted to the writings of
Mr. William Cobbett. To Cobbett, and no to Canning,

was the praise -due. If Canning had been raisea an or-
nament to the human species, let hie adniators bring for-
ward proofs. of this. The tree Was known by its fruit,
arek the ertect of Mr. Canning's policy were only mounds of
paper lel furnish rags or a bankrupt and impove:iehed ne--
tion. The political, principles, and he would appeal. to Enrope
for a confirmation of his opinion, were those of Machiavel,
xcept that he never had the manliness to make a distinct
avowal of them. Could a,,y thing be more fiendish than
his menace last Session—the menace of letting loose all the
wicked and unprincipled of every country ; eve.ty imp and
demon proscribed by the good and the viitstoos ?"
I can answer for that not being the speech made,
nor the meaning of the speech made, by that most la,
rnented person. To say that a man is wholly insincere
in what he professes, to tell an assembled multitude
that a statesmen who has professed for twenty long
years, in the face of his country, to hold no opinions
so sacred, no principles so dear, as those opinion•_
and those principles, and the sincerity of which his
conduct has shown, by refusing office and emolu-
ment, as well as before, again and again, and which
haS stamped the test of truth and sincerity; to tell that
all those opinions were falsely assumed, that all those
principles were a mask for a sinister purpose, and
that he, avowing those sentiments, were not sincere,
I submit to your Lordships, with abundant confi-
dence, is not discussing a man's conduct, it is not
mooting the question of whether he is right or wrong
in the understanding of the subjects; but it is at
once stabbing his character by impeaching his mo-
tives; and he—or now that he unhappily lies low—
those who have a regard for his memory, and
cherish it in affectionate remembrance, would be en-
titled—if contempt prevented them not—to come
to your Lordships for a rule to show cause why
a criminal information should not be filed against
him who so charged the deceased. But this is not
all, the alleged libel complains of an attack on
" every thing decent and respectable in his country's
institutions." Now, upon others, high in station as
well as the departed Minister :
" He claimed indulgence for the violence or his feel-
ings, while he mentioned the name of Sir John Cop-
ley and his late formidable Teeth against them—for-
midable, not for eloquence or argument, but for false-
hood and malignity. Whatever (said the Master of
the Rolls) may be the result of this night's debate,
trust it will meet with the acquiescence of the clan-
try.' What the word acquiescence meant in the vo-
cabulary of the Learned Judge, he (Mr. French) knew
not ; but, if seven millions of Irishmen constituted coun-
try in Ireland, he could assure hint that they would not ac-
quiesce—that they would neither slumber nor despair ; he
could assure him that seven millions of Irishmen would
not sit with folded arms, and bow in acquiescence to the
present system of oppression. The Learned Judge miscal-
culated the acquiescence of the Irish. They would not
bear with indifference his sweeping indictment against their
loyalty. `o; that speech was calculated, by upholding
their oppressions, to torture them into the madness, if not
the justice of rebellion.

Yes, that son of a miniature
painter (Sir J. Copley) would sacrifice the liberties of Ire-
land to his own selfish interest."
It had passed almost to a proverb that there was a
certain well known family which could not be born
to complain of sedition—within the equity of that
ride—though not within its letter—is slander : and
they who deal such calumnies about, as those which
I have read, and they are but a part, they come with
but very little grace to complain of a comment on
their own conduct.
" Let the King once be invested with the veto, and the
Catholic mitre would soon be placed on such heads as those
of the Chinch of Sir John Copley, given to men trained in
slavish obsequiousness to an iniquitous Government.
" The Protestants feared to lose the rich Church Estab-
lishMent of Ireland, but they need not as yet fear. Its
rich pastures would still serve the sons of their ruined gam-
blers and adulterers—their young Wellingtons now at
school, but still looking forward to its green fields—and
last, and worst of the numerous tribe, the young Jocelyns.
--e(llissing, and cries of hear.)--He would not egain re-
peat the words, as they seemed to give offence."
To he sure, they were uttered to an English audi-
ence, where the first men of the country in point of
rani, but not higher in rank or purer in descent,
than pure of character or high of fame—l mean
that,Duke of Norfolk, Lord Arundel, Mr. Petre,
Mr. 131ount, end nokers, three of whom got up, and
protested against deemed to be the approvers
of ;ksuch intolerable fialguage.
" He would not again repeat the vrords, as they
seenied to give offence ; but the young men who 'were
now performing their episcopal duties at those pure
Protestant seminaries Eton and Harlow; but the day
would nevertheless come when these sons of depravity,
notwithstanding the efforts of the Peels and the Daw.
sons, would be compelled to taste of something besides the
necessaries of life. The day of retribution was not marked
in Heaven for Catholks alone ; and, as trim and as certain
as that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the
Sabbath, would it at length be found that the green land
of Ireland was not made for British Parsons, with their
progeny, male and female, but was destined by God and
Nature to be the inheritance of the Irish people."
Now, as to the means by which the Irish people

. .
are to obtain their inheritance against the men whose
names I will not mention, were used offensively, to
• describe the whole Clergy educating in this country;
the 'luaus are thus pointed out in allusiOn to the
present Lord Chancellt.i..
" Yes, that son of a miniature. painter (Sir J. Copley)
would sacrifice the liberties of Ireland to his own selfish
interest. Let the King once he invested with the veto,
and the Catholic mitre would soon he placed on such
heads as those of the Church of Sir John Copley, given
to men trained in slavish obsequiousness to an iniquitous

Government."
My Lords, some men of those who are lavishly
attacked, yet live to defend themselves ; but the
principal object, is not alive to do himself that
duty : if he were, no voice but his own would be
needed, to brush away those foul slanders with which
his memory has been assailed.
Lord TENTERDEN.—You say you have affidavits.
Mr. BROUGHAM.—Yes, my Lord, I have affidavits
,of three persons who attended at the meetings.
Lard TENTERDEN.—If I understand you right,
you have affidavits stating that the subject as printed
in the newspaper, is at least in substance that which
was spoken by the person complaining ?
Mr. BROUGHAM.—Yes, my Lord, my affidavits
state that all that was inserted, was uttered, but
that offensive parts were left out.
Ur. Justice BAILEY--Is that which you have
read stated in the Paper ?
Mr. BROUGHANI.--YO5, my Lord, and I stated
that the observations were made on Mr. French's
first speech, as well as that which appeared on a
former
_occasion. Those speeches were two : the
one was inserted in the Paper I represent, the
suN :" the other was uttered three months before,
and was taken from the Morning Papers. The affi-
davit states, they did not copy the whole of that
report from the Morning Paper into their Journal,
but only a part of it, and the reporter swears that
what was reported passed. Now I have only to
add, that as your Lordships seem to be with me,
the gentleman must be left to his common remedy,
either by action or otherwise, and that he cannot
come here for your Lordships' interference. I con-
clude by saying, it is sworn that nothing was fur-
ther from the intentions of these gentlemen than to
do harm to this gentleman or his family, more than
,
.aosolutely necessary to a temperate comment upon
..nduct as apublic man, courting, not by
.a prudent
a seed], public commentary, by a speech which caused
him to be charged with absolute folly or mischief,
and which any one might have been charged with—
upon uttering it on that occasion—the interval be-
"'ten that great Stateman's death and funeral; but
as to any thing like insanity of mind, or any thing
that would make him incapable of practising in this
Court, or as a competent teacher of the Classics,
they had not the slightest intention, nor have they
executed that intention.

Morning Herald newspaper of the said 31st day of

report of the speech the said Daniel French, as
the same appeared in the SIJN newspaper of the
said 31st day of October last, were made, by omit-
ting what, in the judgment of deponent, appeared to
be the more elmo,rious and objectionable parts of the
Speech of the said Daniel French."
Mr. FRENCH.—Now my Lords) with your Lord-
ships' permission, I wish to read my affidavit.
Lord TENTErtol.—Well Sir, go on.
Mr. Fitt sett then read his affidavit.

Daniel French, of No. 1, Hanover-places near the
Regent's Park, Middlesex, Esquire, Pa sister at Law,
maketh oath and saith that Murdo Young, of No. 112,
Strand, London, is the Printer and Publisher, and Patrick
Grant. o No. 29, York-terrace, Regent's Park, Esquire,
the sole Proprietor of a certain Newspaper called the Sins,
and that the Newspaper hereto annexed Was published at
the Sort Office, in the Strand, on the first day of November
instant, 1827; and this Deponent further says, that the
Speech represented to have been spoken by this Deponent
at t►he British Catholic Association, and set forth in the
said Newspaper, was not spoken by this Deponent : and
this Deponent further says that he has for a loug time past
taught the Classics to divers pupils, and bath thereby
endeavoured with his said profession of Barrister
at Law, to gain .a livelihood for his Wife and
seven children : and this Deponent further says that
he verily believes the Report of the said speech and
the observations contained in the said Newspaper re-
flecting en this Deponent, were published with a view to
bring this Deponent into ridicule and contempt, and that
it is particularly calculated to injure this Deponent in such
classical teaching as aforesaid, and in his profession as hold-
ing him forth to the world as disordered in his intellects ;
and this Deponent further saitb, that he is not under the
influence of any intellectual itsalady, as the said Paper,
called the SUN, saith; and this Deponent further saith, that
he bath not, nada the influence of this malady, ventured
to attack 4Vtry thing decent and respectable in his country's
lnetitrtlons ; and this Deponent further saith, that he
is neither silly nor snischievous—(Great laughter)--ache is
stated to be by the said Paper called the Sox : and this
Deponent further saith that he verily believes the said Prin-
ter and Publisher and Proprietor of the said Paper called
the Suss, were actuated by corrupt and malicious motives
—(continued laughter)— in publishing the above charges :
Mr. FRENCH (turning round to the gentlemen of
the bar), I hope, if I use any particular expression,
it will not excite laughter among my Learned
Friends ; if they will refrain from that, it will enable
me the better to proceed, who am not accustomed to
public speaking :

- And the said Deponent further saith, that
instead of venturing to attack every thing decent and res-
pectable in his country's institutions, he most particularly
venerates and admires all that is decent and respectable in
his country's institutions, as being the offspring- for the
most part of the holy Catholic Apostolic Religion, the
ancient Religion of this Land, of which he the said
Deponent is a Member ;

I have not introduced this for the purpose of raising
any political or religious discussion, which I shall
particularly avoid :

the said Deponent further saith
that he bath on wort occasions than one, particularly in a
Book called " Munusculum Juventuti," upheld, fortified,
and defended, those Institutions, as well as every principle of
sound loyalty, he the said Deponent, being a most detcrmined
and irreconcilable enemy to all jaeobinism and irreligion :
And the said Deponent further saith that instead of at-
tacking all that is decent and respectable in his country's
institutions, he has thus spoken of those institutions in
the Book above mentioned, called " Munusculum Juventuti"
written for the express purpose of teaching true Latin, and
at the same time of inspiring the British youth with prin-
ciples of sound loyalty and admiration for all that is decent
and respectable in his country's institutions, whether those
institutions be of Catholic or of Protestant growth.

Then I have quoted a passage out of my own
Latin, but not out of any ostentation,—
Lord TLNTERDEN—Go on ; you had better read it.
Mr. FRENCH proceeded :
Faxit Deus, cujus auspiciis Britannia tot annos verum
hospitalitatis nc gloriie domiciliurn extitit, ut nunquam in
hanc talem injustitiam prolabatur ; concedat potius ut
quanto cteteris nationibus acie prmstamus, tanto simus sequi-
tate superiores: virtutis vice ad gloriarn connitendu in est: non

dominatu tenea►nur, omnia bite nobis tam plosclare parts
celariter defitteNt.

And the said deponent Either said, that in another part
of the said book he bath thus spoken with reference to his
country's institutions, and to those who labour to subvert
them, giving at the same time due praise to a Protestant
writer, the great—
and immortal Hooker—the great, I have not put the
immortal," my Lords, but I will make it so.—
(Laughter.)
Quicunque, inquit divinus
ille scriptor Hookerns id agit, ut populo persnadeat rem-
priblicarn ab its qui rebus prresunt male tractaii, huic nun-
quarn 'lefutura est auditorum copia, nulla enim flamina est,
quse turn facile accendatur ac seditio, tibi " ignobile vulgus"
rapina, vindietam ccedes ac archer omnium generum anhe-
lane ad perturbandam rempublicarn concionihus exacuun-
tur, _ _ _

Now, my Lords, does what follow proceed from a
man who entertains the profoundest respect for his
country's institutions, or does it not ?
igitur venerandarum legum excusso filen°, sanguine
omnia redundant ; proscribuntur divites, mendici ad res
publicas gerendas accedunt serpensque tandem °min de-

loeat, tuns vero ingemescit populus, ac sero reinis contra
as ipsos judicium ferunt, una voce exclamantes " merito
plectimur," nemo cairn unquam imperium male qusesitum,
bonis artibus exercuit.

And the said deponent further saith, he is, he verily be-
lieves, in a corrupt and malicious manner threatened by
the said paper called the Sew, in these remarkable words :
Mr. French, we hear, is a scholar ; he may, perhaps, re-
member a striking passage in Rabelais' Voyage to the
Holy Bottle, wherein he observes that there is a certain
class of politicians so incurably smitten with self-love, that
should they ever be discovered, like Narcissus, by the
banks of river, pond, or lake, it would be a debt owing to
the public for the nearest bystander to push them into it.
Let Mr. French take the hint, " mutato notnine"—he
knows the rest.
Indeed I do know it. Now, my Lords, I stand in a
very awkward and peculiar situation, and certainly
would apologise to all my Learned Friends, the
majority of whom, I am certain, wish me well, and
wish to see me succeeds
Lord TF,NTERDEN—This, Sir, is your affidavit ?
Now, we have attended to the affidavits on the
other side; there are two or three of them, and we
can do no otherwise than give credit to those affi-
davits, which state that the subject matter in the
&IN was not the whole that was delivered, but
short of that which was objectionable, and they give
us a larger detail in the affidavits of what passed.—
Now that being so, we do not decide here, that no
prosecution may be instituted—that is not our object
—but you know very well the rule of this Court is,
not to interfere where the party appealing to us,
has been conducting himself in a way reasonably to
call for observation ; and these affidavits show that
to be so. We do not decide that no proceedings
may be taken, but if we proceed in the ordinary
course, what can we now do but refuse to interfere.?
Mr. FRENcx--,-Then am I to be condemned un-
heard ?

Lord TENTERDEN—You are not unheard, Sir.
If you will compare those affidavits and contrast
them with your own, we will hear you.
Mr. FRENCH—But am I to speak or not ?
Lord TENTSRDEN—I have directed your attention
to the affidavits, and if you will apply yourself to
the contents of them, I will hear you.
Mr. FRENCH—I was going to the affidavits. Mr.
Brougham was not interrupted in his preliminary
observations, and why should I not. be allowed to
make a few ? Is there a peculiar privilege for
gentlemen within the bar ?
Lord TENTERDEN—We have heard your affidavit,
and that contained your preliminary observations.
Mr. FRENCII--NO, that was matter of right, I
claimed that as such.—(Laughter.)
Lord TENTERDEN_Most of it, was observation.
Well, now I; have directed your attention to the af-
fidavits, and that is the only topic.

Mr. FRENCH—I have stated in my affidavit, I did

not utter one word of that speech, which is put into
my mouth.
Lord T&TERDEti—No, that is not the phrase in
die affidavit.

Mr. FRENCH—I did not utter one sentence or
one word of it, I do not know which is the phrase.
Mr. Justice BATLR—Now, if you will read your
own affidavit, you will see how it is stated.
Mr. FRENCH—This is a short speech, it is only
about ten lines.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY—If you will only read your
own affidavit, you will see whether you deny snaking
that speech, or Lny thing of that kind.
Mr. FRENCH—" And this deponent. saith, that
the speech represented to have been."
Mr. Justice BAiLEV—No, that would be perfectly
true, if it were incorrect in any particular part:

Mr. FRIINcti—I mean the whole of it. -
Mri Justice BAYLF:t—Yon do not say so.
Mr. Fa.Excit—T say the whole of it.
Lord TENTERDEN—You do not state that in your
affidavit.

Mr. FRENCH-But here is my affidavit, my Lord,
and surely my oath is as good as that of others.
Mt. Justice DAY LEY—Yon do not speak in the
way a person does who means to deny the whole of
the speech : you only say the speech represented to
have been spoken by deponent,
Now that is not the way in which you ought to have
denied it, you ought to have denied that you had
spoken that or any part of it, or any thing to that or
the like effect.

Lord TEN'TERDEN—If you compare your own af-
fidavit, you will find that your own affidavit does
not deny you said that or any thing like it ; but only
that you did not utter the speech as represented.
Mr. FRENCH—WeII, I wish to answer that.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY (rising.)—They state you
uttered that and a great deal more.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY here read a part of the affi-
davit of the reporters of the New Times, in which
they said, that they-
- " attended the Meeting of the British Catholic Asso-
ciation, held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on the
19th day of March last, and that the said Daniel French
was present, and did address the meeting then assembled,
and that the report of the speech, then delivered by the said
Daniel French, as published in the New Times newspaper,
of the 20th day of March last, is in all respects, a fair and
correct report of the speech of the said Daniel French, and
of the proceedings of the meeting; save and except that
these deponents in their report thereof, omitted some
words and phrases, which they considered too gross and
indecent for publication."
Mr. FRENCH—And is that to prevent me from
speaking to it ?
Mr. Justice BAILEY—You may compare the affi-
davits.

Mr. FRENCH—I am speaking of my own. With
respect to that speech which a dull bull-headed
Scotchman sits down and makes for me.—(Roars of
laughter.)
Lord TENTERDEN—Is dull bull-beaded Scotch-
man in the affidavit ?—(Continued laughter.)
Mr. FRENCH—Ma'am ?—(lmmense laughter.)
Mr. FRENCH (again in confusion) Sir!--,I beg
your pardon.
Lord TENTERDEN.—Does the affidavit state, Sir,
that the dull bull-headed Scotchman made tho speech ?
—(great laughter, in which the Bench heartily joined.)
Mr. FRENCH-4 say the affidavit was my own.
Lord TENTERDEN—But I am contrasting the affi-
davits.

Mr. FRENCH—Then, if you will not allow me to
speak ?
Lord TENTERDEN—We have heard your affidavit,
and we think it is not sufficient to sustain such a
motion as you have made.
Mr. FRENCH—WeII, then, I beg leave to reail
the affidavit on the other side—will Mr. Brougham
let me have it ?

Mr. BROUGHAM—Here it is—(handing the affi-
davit to Mr. French.)
Lord TENTERDEN—Now compare that with your
Own.

Mr. FRENCH—My Lords, I have only one aser;:
vation to make ; I don't come here from any osten-
tation, to have an opportunity of showing off the
powers of speaking I may fancy I possess; I come
here to prove that lam no ideot. I have a!ways
your Lordships will

oration totally unpremeditated in a public assembly ?
I therefore take it for granted, those speeches were
premeditated ; I have them now in my memory, and
they are in fact, in direct contradiction to every
calumny that has been advanced against me. My
speech was printed from my written copy which your
Lordships will perhaps say I have no right to read.
Lord TENTERDEN—No! you have not brought
this before us.

Mr. FRENCH--No ! but I mean to say my speech
was given in all the newspapers, and they all differ
from the garbled copy produced to-day.
Lord TENTERDEN—Neither is that before us.

Mr. FRENCH—Very well. I have sworn that I
have not railed against the institutions of my country,
and I do not know one of.those institutions against
which I have spoken. Is the memory of Mr. Can-
ning that one of the sacred institutions of my country
against which I have spoken ? What, my Lords,
have I not, an Englisianan, (with great vehemence)
have I not a right to disapprove of a Minister whom
I consider to have lived the curse of public liberty ?
Lord TENTERDEN (interrupting him)—Well, Sir;
this is not the place where any language of that sort
is to be offered against any man, be he Minister or not.
Mr. FRENCH—WeII, my Lord, I was . carried
beyond myself in the heat of the moment.
Lord TENTERDEN—Yes, but we cannot trust you;
and I call only say, that if you depart from the affi-
davit once more, we will discharge the rule.
Mr. FRENCH—I will attend with great obedi-
ence to your Lordship's desire, and not permit
myself to be carried away again, for I confess
I was transported.—(Great laughter.)—l have
stated in my affidavit that the paragraph was
calculated to draw down contempt, Are. &c. If I
have been guilty of any irreverent expressions against
my country, the courts of justice are open, and I
might have been indicted, but I deny the right of a
newspaper to make comments upon my conduct.—
I deny the right of a newspaper to represent me as
shattered in mind, because I have attacked Sir John
Copley, and because I may hare called him what
they say I did, but which I solemnly declare I did
not, in that abstract manner I am represented to have
done, without many illustrations and apologies, and
it was only to illustrate an apt simile to the Duke of
Norfolk, I used his name that daY. Now, my Lords,
I come here to-day, for redress against a virulent at-
tack, which goes to deprive me of my bread. It is
impossible that any parent, looking at the manner in
which my intellects are spoken of—it is impossible
that any parent will hereafter trust his child to me for
instruction.

LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—NOW I will read to you
one paragraph—
Mr. FRENCH.--I have a right, I apprehend, to
be heard ?

—Mr. Justice BAYLEY.—No ; but other suitors
have a right to have the time of the Court occu-
pied; and it ought not to be occupied by a case in
which it feels certain it can in the result do nothing,
and Gentlemen at the Bar, above all others, ought
to feel that.

Lord TENTERDEN.—Now, here is a passage that
is sworn to:—

" The Protestants feared to lose the rich Church Esta-
blishment of Ireland, but they need not as yet fear. Its
rich pastures would still serve the sons of their ruined gam-
blers and adulterers—their young Wellingtons now at
school, but still looking forward to its green fields—and
last, and worst of the numerous tribe, the young Jocelyns.
—(Hissing, and cries of hear.)—He would not again re-
peat the words, as they seemed to give offence ; but the
young men who were now performing their episcopal duties
at those pure Protestant seminaries, Eton and Harrow; but
the day would nevertheless come when these sons of de-
pravity, notwithstanding the efforts of the Peels and Daw-
sons, would be compelled to taste of something besides the
necessaries of life. The day of retribution was not marked
in Heaven for Catholics alone ; and, as true and as certain
as that the Sabbath was made for Man, and not man for the
Sabbath, would it at length be found that the green land
of Ireland was not made for British Parsons, with their

progeny, male and female, but was destined by God and
Nature to he the inheritance of the Irish people."
Now, really, if a man says that—
-

Mr. FRENCH.—I will take my solemn oath I never
tittered such a thing.
Lord TENTERDEN.—But we have the affidavits
on both sides; we have two on the other side, and
we must give credit to them.
Mr. FRuNcn.---Thenhave I invaded the rights of
any institution in such a way, that any body is to
hold me up to contempt and ridicule, and to deprive
me and my family of bread ?

•
Lord lENTERDES.--No, Ido not say the de-
fer►dants are right in taking the course they did, but
he who asks for the extraordinary interference of this
Court must come to it in a way in which he himself
is free from blame ; and we cannot think that in the
way in which this is brought before us.
Mr. FRENcu.--Then I am to be deprived of going
into it at length in the manner I had proposed?
Lord TENTERDEN.--We must discharge the rule
and impose silence on him.
Mr. BROUGHAM.--I do not wish to have the rule
discharged with costs.
Lord TENTERDEN—Very well.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE LOSS OF THE
MINNA, OF HULL,

IN A LETTER FROM THE OWNER, CAPT. RICHARD CORM,

OF HULL, TO ORS. FORTIS, OF GRIMSBY, HIS SISTER.

Nordenay, East Friesland, Nov. 4,,1827.

. _
My DEAR JANE—It is a most painful duty
to inform you of the loss of the Minna on this
island, and at the same time I have infinite plea-
sure to say we have all been miraculously pre-
served, and are now comfortably lodged, and
most kindly treated. I shall give you the par.
ticulars of our misfortune. After remaining
in the Humber on Sunday with a heavy gale
from the N.E., on Monday we proceeded with
a N.N.W. wind. When out I did not like the
appearance and endeavoured to put back, but
could not get in for the tide ; we then went for-
ward, and had fine wind and weather until Wed-
nesday, the 316 t, when the gale commenced with
fury. We were at that time in a good offing
from the land, and had the wind remained we
should have a long drift, the gale or rather hur-
ricance increased with a tremendous high sea ;
we lay to all night, not a sail would stand
but our treysail, and -at two o'clock in the
morning of November Ist our decks, with
the bulwark, were clean swept away ; the
boats, however, were safe. I soon found we
were coining near the shore, and prayed for
day-light, yet dreaded the consequence ; at day
light we found the land close on our lee, the
wind and sea dead on, not the slightest hope
could be indulged, the sight was truly awful, and
a few minutes would determine our fate. A
brig which left the Humber with us was close
too with her anchors gone ; we let go ours, but
to no effect, for they both broke. We then ran
right on the shore, (every man clinging to some-
thing ;) fortunately it was high water, and a very
high tide. We struck about 7 A.M., the sea for
a few minutes made over us, but we held fast.
I_found the waves had lifted the vessel so high
' upon the.sand that if she did not upset or break
to pieces we might be saved. We prepared our
boat; and after cutting the lashings, a sea launch-
ed her with little assistance ; we then all got in,
and in a moment were in smooth water, our-
selves as wet as taken out of the sea, our boat
half full ; that we soon baled out with our hats.
We then had about five miles to go to the nearest
house on the main land, as we did not see one
On the Island • this was unfortunate, as people
are placed thre. on purpose to protect wrecks,
an(ilf.give every assistance ; we got on shore about
hap
ast nine, and went to a very large farm-
house,but to our sorrow it was kept by a hind
anda housekeeper, shall I call her a woman, or
rather a 'monster in human shape. Though wet
to the skin and perishing. with cold, they stood
gazing on us, never offering us any dry clothes,
and it was with great difficulty we could get a
fir. 1 over 4 very slow one had we to sit half
naked to • dry, firer - our shirts and then the re-
mainder ; as for my flannels they dried on my
hack, all the time experiencing black looks and
growls from the housekeeper : then came dinner,
bad enough, which I will not now describe. My
people had to sleep in the barn ; myself and pas-
senger were indulged with a bed, and the next
morning we rose with only some slight colds.
During the day, to our great satisfaction, we were
visited by Lloyd's agent, who informed us that if
we had gone on the Island our reception would
have been the reverse ; to our comfort we arrived
there the next day, and found the crew of the
brig Sylph, of Leith, in ballast from Hull to
Hamboro', safe. There we found another wreck,
a tso-alliot, called the Vrow Maria, Capt. Jan
Caspers Uil, with timber from Norway to
Groningen ; the captain and crew, his three
sons (the youngest not more than eight years of
age,) presented a scene too shocking to describe :
they were all killed in the cabin by the vessel
turning bottom up. This morning the whole of
the inhabitants, with ourselves, have attended
the funeral, and a more solemn one I never wit-
nessed ; the minister prayed beautifully, and as-
sisted by the schoolmaster and a great number of
little boys, a hymn was sung over the grave with
great order. My mind was awfully roused, when
it might have been our own lot : may the im-
pression long remain, and have a happy effect.
I must now give an account of the Minna ;
she is so high on the strand, that the tide at
high water scarcely reaches her ; to-day the
whole of her cargo will be safe on shore, the
better half in tolerable ;condition ; we shall then
save all her stores for the benefit of the under-
writers.
Two more vessels are stranded to the
east of us, and one to the west, making six ves-
sels within about twenty miles ; and I greatly
fear all from the Texel to the Island of Heligo-
land must be lost, as we were ourselves in the
latitude of the Island when the gale came on ;
and, after we were on shore, it continued with
equal fury the following night ; indeed I never
knew it blow harder. We have saved since the
gale all our clothes, and such is the honesty of
the people and the attention to wrecks, that not
the smallest articles were touched. Would to
God it was so every where. In gratitude to the
people on this Island too mush praise cannot be
given. Thirty-two sovereigns and some small
money were found in the Dutch vessel, and in
my drawer there were nearly two pounds in silver
and all faithfully delivered to the Governor!
This circumstance, as well as their kind atten-
tion at the funeral, reflects the greatest credit
upon them, and deserves the widest circulation.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, Nov. 26.)

PARIS, Nov. 25.—A letter from Lubeck, of the
16th November, says, " A captain, who has arrived
here in four days from Riga, declares that the Em-
peror of Russia was in that city when the arrival of
a courier caused him immediately to set out on his
return to St. Petersburgh."

We learn from Frankfort that news from Con-
stantinople, dated the sth, had also been received
at Vienna, and that every thing was tranquil in the
Turkish Capital.
The funds were rising at Vienna.
The Augsburgh Gazette says, that it is reported
that the Baron de Leykam, father-in-law to Prince
Metternich, has just been appointed Charge d'Affaires
of Brazil in the Germanic Confederation.

This news is confirmed by our Vienna Correspon-
dent, who adds, that the Baron will receive a salary
of 20,000 florins. We have also letters from
Vienna, saying, that Prince Tatischeff, Ambassador
from Russia to that Court, has received orders from
St. Petersburgh not to quit the Austrian Court dur-
ing the present circumstances. We lately mentioned
that that Minister had obtained leave of absence.

ST. PETERSBURGII, Nov. 9.—The Emperor has
addressed the following Rescript to General Pas-
kewi tsch

" The opening of the campaign against the Persians,
this year, under your command, notwithstanding the local
difficulties, and the obstacles you had to surmount, has
been signalised by the occupation of the town of Nakit-
chevan, the defeat of Abbas Mirza in the battle of Djeven
Boulak, and the taking of the fortress of Abbas Abad.
" These successes, which add new lustre to our arms,
prove the ability of your measures, and the value of the
troops animated by your example. For these distinguish-
ed services to us, we have appointed you Knight of St.
%Vladimir of the First Class, and send you the insignia
herewith. (Signed) " NICHOLAS."

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

BARCELONA, Nov. 17.—The following Order of
he Day has been published in the Gazelle of this

" Division of Catalonia—Staff of the Town.— The
French division occupying this place, leaving it on the 16th
inst., to return to France, the inhabitants who have any
claims to make against the mil:tary, or the employ6s of the
said division, hereby receive notice to address themselves to
the Staff, before the different columns commence their
march, as no claim will be admitted after their departure,
nor will those presented on the 28th of this month, the
definitive day of the evacuation.

" The Colonel Commandant of the Town,
(Signed) " POZZO DI BORGO."

BARCELONA, Nov. 14.—You perceive, by the
preceding order of the day, that the French troops
which compose the garrison have already begun
their march. The 41st Regiment assembled yester-
day morning, with arms and baggage, upon the
Rambla promenade, where General Count Reizet
passed it in review. Immediately after it topic the
road to France, and was accompanied out of the
town by an immense concourse of people. By the
marks of regret and affection shown the soldiers, and
which was also a testimony of their good conduct
during their residence among us, it might have been
thought that the people were taking leave of a part
of their own familieg.

'I his very day the military hospitals start for
France, escorted by some companies of the 29th of
the Line. Many Spaniards who, since the restora-

tion in 1823, have taken refuge among us, and who
have lived peaceably under the protection of the
French, are also making preparations to depart.
The 3d Regiment of Spanish Infantry has re-
ceived orders to repair to Barcelona, and a regiment
of the Royal Guard is already in our neighbourhood.

The Count de St. Priest, Ambassador to his
Most Christian Majesty, came here the day before
yesterday from Valencia, whence also arrived the
order forthe evacuation of this town. It appears

been named Governor of the Citadel, in the room of
General Cisneros, on whom that post had been con-
ferred, and who has been exiled from here on ac-
count of his adhesion to the party of the insurgen6.

The Court is to leave Valencia the 19th of this
month. The journey will be performed by short
stages, on account of the Queen's delicate health,
and will be so managed, that their Majesties will
arrive at Tarragona on the 24th, and only make
their entry into Barcelona on the 29th.
The celebrated Ballester was hung on the 13th
at Tarragona ; and, after the execution, the stand-
ards of the insurgents, which were taken when Bal-
lester was made prisoner, were burnt by the execu-
tioner.

The son of the Marquis de la Torre has been

(From the Quotidienne.
PARIS, Nov. 24.—The nominations of the De-
puties of the colleges of the arrondissonens are now
almost all known. Each of the Journals of the
morning gives a list of the votes which the Opposi-
tion and the Ministry may promise themselves in the
new Chamber. The Gazette de France (but it is
known that for some time that Journal has included
the Opposition of the cote droite among the
Royalists) reckons 123 Liberals and 116 Royalists.
The Journal du Commerce admits, out of 240 known
Deputies, 168 for the Opposition and 72 for Minis-
ters. The Constitution!zel reckons only 160 Oppo-
sition and 85 Ministerial. The Courier Francais
mentions 154 Opposition, and 92 Ministerial ; while
the Journal des Debate, which grounds its calcula-
tion on different principles, gives the Opposition
169, and the Ministry 83 Deputies only.
However figures may settle, it is certain to all
clear heads, that the Ministry cannot present itself
before the new Chamber. The security which it
affects is not real, and it must know sufficiently the
new elements in the Chamber to be convinced that
its ancient tactics—lts secret manoeuvres— which
formerly assured it victory, will not succeed next
Session.
