entertained for her life. Mr. Blanchard, the consta-
ble, was 'knoclred.clowt during the afray, and re-
ceived a severe contnitm on his bead, and a blow on
one orhis -eyes. James Ruby was cut in'a shocking
manner ahout the mouth and eyes--one eye is closed.
In short, there are/hilly-one men, women, and chil-
dren, more or less wounded.
The Magistrates (Mr. Fuller, Mr. Joye, Mr. Gro-
sett, and Mr. Coleman, with Messrs. Atherton and
Gabriel, Solicitors of Caine), assembled at eleven
o'clock on Sunday morning, and
.had been sitting
early and late, at the White Hart Inn, up to last
evening, when they adjourned until Friday. They
have been indefatigable in their exertions to get at
the perpetrators of the above horrid murders. Im-
mense numbers of witnesses have been, and a great
number more remain to be examined. William Clare,
Eq. our respected Coroner, arrived at Chippenham
on Monday about noon, and immediately empanelled
a Jury from the most respectable inhabitants of Chip-
penham and its neighbourhood, on the body of Mr.
Hull ; they have sat at the Town-hall until ten
o'clock each night, and have not yet come to a con-
cl.ssion ; each witness undergoes the closest examina-
tion; no pains or trouble are spared to sift the affair
to the bottom. The same Jury will be sworli on the
body of Mr. Reynolds.
The following persons are already in custody, and
warrants have been issued against several others:
Henry Knight and John Matthews, two respectable farmers
of Langley ; William Bryant, George Thomas, John Thomas,
Thomas Pearce, Charles Elms James Isaacs, James Langley,
John Langley, J. ,Hood Wallop, Isaac Musto. Benjamin Salter,
Joseph BAyky, Wm. Tanner, Wm. Batten, Philip Cole, John
Woodman, John Adderell, and George Bayley, all of Langley.
They all appeared careless of their situations when
first taken into custody, but there was a visible altera-
tion in their countenance.: after they heard of the
death of poor Reynolds. The Governor of the New
House of Correction, Devizes, is on the spot, render-
ing his assistance.
INQUEST ON THE BOUT OF MR. JOSEPH HULL.
The first witness called wasp- Horton, a brazier, of Chippen-
'tarn. who deposed that he wai called out of his house about
half-past eleven on Saturday night. in consequence of a riot: he
saw a great number of people' and went with them; the Lang-
ley people were driving the Lltippeuham people back ; at Mr.
Bramble's, near the bridge, the latter made a stand, when stones
were thrown at them : the Langley people had also large sticks;
he saw the decease‘Mr. Hull, who was without shoes or
stockings.' The Langley people were about thirty in number;
those of Chippenhatt about fifty.
Among others who have been examined by the Coroner and
Magistrates were—
William Blanchard, a constable, was called front his bed, and
told that 'milder was committing; that Jetnrs Milsome would
be killed if he did not come. Ha immediately went out and de-
manded peace, when he received a violent blow on the eye that
knocked him down. The deceased, Mr. Hull, then led him
' to a waggon.
George Moore was on the bridge about eleven at night, and
was thrice knocked (lowa by Thomas Pierce, of Langley.
John Beak, of the Bear lan, examined.—On Saturday night
Henry Knight and John Matthews, of Langley, were at my
house, with several others ; tliey all left before ten o'clock, pre-
vious to the man having the fit. At about eleven while I was
assisting the man in the fit, Knight and others passed by—Knight
said, " Fit ! be d—d, there's no fit ;" and then went in the di-
rection of Timber-street. I went into my own house, and soon
after heard the cry of murder in Timber-street. I went to see
what was the matter, and found several wounded and bleeding;
received several severe blows myself, but do not know any of
the rioters.

James Milsome, mason, was coming along the bridge during
the row, and saw John Thomas, a carpenter of Langley, among
the rioters ; witness had not been there half a minute before he
was knocked down, and when down 115 was violently beat with
large sticks, and most brutally kicked ; they were also throwing
stones; when recovered a little he got on the other aide of the
bridge; the Chippenham party first drove the Langley party
through the turnpike-gate towards Langley; the latter afterwards
overpowered the Chippenham party, and continued driving them
back until they came to Mr. Bramble's braise ; bete witness saw
deceased, who was not then injured ; witness joined the Chippen-
ham party, and continued with them until they came to a corner
which leads to Mr. Guy's farm, when he received a blow which
felled him to the ground, and the rabb:e ran over him ; he after-
wards contrived to get' p, and took shelter In a ditch with
George Daunsell. Some time after ;witness left the ditch, a'.,
went down the new road ; at a little distance he heard some one
most piteously groaning; he went up, and found James Rey-
nolds (since dead) in a most deplorable state. Witness took him
to the Antelope, where the surgeon came. At two o'clock he
heard that some one was bleeding to death near the turnstile
Ile went back, but the person was removed; he atterwards found
that it was Mr. Hull. He knew among the mob, Julia Thomas,
George Thomas, and William Bryant.

have bees sent to the Magistrates, ana put
and the Gazette de France says, tI
addressed to the ADVOCATI-GENERAL ►ere
following passages:

tweoty.five citizens, wbo have sworn to take your
We. Poniards, every means, shall be employed against
you. You canoes escape our bands. Defeat our molds easspiescy
if you are able. You will only be tamest to know us by receiving
Ow atonal nab.

Fre:wham are at sine% about to prove that they ate weary
'laves years of despotism.
" Artide 1. Drain tie List drop of the blood of
44 Article 4. Murder the execrable Woeltel."

These threatening letters, stll of which may be thi
work of one individual, would not serve as any posit
dye criterion of the state of public feeling in France,
but we have other and more decisive evident* that
the fermentation is at this time very great, and dis,
affection to the Bourbons is rapidly spreading. In:
flarnmitory pamphlets are actively circulated, and
defy the utmost vigilance of the police to %oppress
them. Some of these pamphlets are Addresses to the
French, in whith the overturning of the Government
is declared to be determined on. One of them calls
for vengeance ou their oppressors, and says:

" What, is it said you are men, you are Frenchtnen, and you
suffer a handful of Nobles, Insolent Priests, to trample you ender
their feet ! They triumph over your weakness, they devour your
estates with their-eyes, they revive privileges, they are preparing
to re-establish Tallies, the Corvee, the Gabelle, Tithes, Annats,
Game Laws, and they Mak upon you already as their slaves !"

In the meantime the French Ministers are directing
all their efforts to crush the respectable part of the
Press. The Condit:aimed, in reference to the pa.
ceedings instituted against it, has the following article:

" We are ordered to appear after to-morrow (ThuriLy) be_
fore the Court of Assize, to answer an accusation " of infidelity
and of bad faith," in the account given by as of a Sitting of this
same Court. The more we read the article charged against 111,
the more we are convinced that the decision of the Court cannot
be against us. We have not reported a Angle fact which was not
exact, which did not occur before our own eyes, and which we
could not, if necessary, prove by witnesses the most woe thy 1
belief. How, we ask, can we be charged with inteltlity in re-
porting, when we have stated nothing but what is most strictly
true ? How can we be accused of bad faith, when we have in-
serted nothing, the truth of which we are out in a situation most
fully to establish? How can the Public Minister support a charge
of culpability upon this point, when we are ourselves ready, if
necessary, to bring forward the strongest proof of our innocence ?
" Being irreproachable under the charge of infidelity, shall
we be less so under other imputations? We have again exa-
mined our article, and we do not find in it a single expression
which could give the slightest offence to any individual. Neither
the Jury, nor the Magistrates, nor the Orator of the public 311-
nistry, can find in our analysis a word, a single word, in which
we have departed from that obedience due to their functions;
many will find in it those honourable testtaimiks which ,re due
only to truth. As to the compassion which we have sliewn (in
common with all those who have the hearis of men in their bo-
som') for the young victims who have been capitally coodenined,
we are far from disavowing such a sentiment ; and we have too
high au idea of the equity of the Magistrates called upuu to judge
us, to fear that they would wish to make this a crime against us.
" Complaining of misfortune was never con.idered to be an
insulting of justice, or a forgetfulness of what was equally due
to decency and to the law ; and as Kings are honoured with the
power of extending mercy to those whom justice has condemned,
we ought well to recollect that those Whom justice has con-
demned may still merit, not only pity, bat indulgence.
" We await without inquietude the decision which the Court
is about to pronounce ; we have stated the truth ; the Court .ill
be just. It is sufficient to state, that we have nothing to fezr
from its decision."

tions from the insurgent bands.

We have received Halifax Papers this morning to
the 20th August. The following is extracted from
the Halifax Journal of the 19th August:
" His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, we
understand, will embark to-morrow on board the
Government brig Chamieto, Lieutenant Stewart;
which vessel will immediately sail for Sydney. The
number of Quebec settlers arrived this season amounts
