at
The conclusion. of the Trial of Mr. HUNT, B,:c.
York, is represented in the Provincial Journals of
the neighbourhood as having created sensations dif-
fering very greatly according to the various views
and feelings of different individuals. Among the
friends of the Stipendiary Magistracy the verdict of
Guilty', on one of the counts of the indictment was
received with great joy: among the friends of the
Reformers it was .of course received with feelings of
an opposite uature. The following are extracts re-
lating
to this business:
MILITA at A:D.—We understand that notwithstanding the
very fai-ourable impression which Mr. Hunt's conduct at York,
made or. the minds of the Public, it was thought requisite to
have the military at our Barracks in readiness, during the latter
part of the Trial, to quell any rad.eal tumult which the decision
of the Jury might occasion.. The .%-xsrd, however, was too radi-
cal a weapon for the men of Yorkshire to require, though the
verdict was revered sekh a. sort of eare:nness, which might pos-
"sibly be intapreted as hotraying disappointment. Mr. Hunt
was accompanied to his lodgings by a great concourse, who
cheered him as he passed ; and the same evening he left York
with Mr. Bryant."—;l rie Ikrald.)
" The PuLiic arxious to know what reception the de-
cision of the Jury at York met with in Manchester, and our in-
telligent correspondent at that place has enabl....: as to ;reef,'
their ‘uric......tj—he writes
Nerdeseer, 31st March, 100.
" Sin—The veidiet of the Jury, at York, in Mr. Ilexes
case, produced here a most extraordinary sensation. The intel-
ligence reached the Police-office at half-past one o'clock on
Tuesday morning; where, and at the house of the Borough-
reeve, the Authorities of the town, and many inhabitants, or
rather their political friend., were assembled, to wait the ar-
rival of the messenger. On the receipt of the intelligence of
Guilty, which not any of them, I believe, expected, they gave
vent to their feelings in a way, which perhaps it would be dan-
gerous par!i:ularly to describe. On nine-tenths of the iutiabi-
tants the news produced feelings of zorrow and surprise. No one
anticipated, after reading the evidence, and the Judge's observe-
tionsort the witnesses for the prosecution, anything short of an
acquittal. Yesterday, the defendants, with the exception of Mr.
Herr, entered Manchester, amid many thousand spectators;
the horses weee taheu from the coach, and the populace drew
theist through the town. The temper and talent cli4layed by
Mr. Urxr, during the trial, form a subject of general admiration.

" One of the sentinels on duty at the New Cross, was, it ap-
inters, shot at last night, and areward of £5O is offered, by pla-
cards upon the walls this morning, for the detection of the of-
fender ; but what object was to be answered by assassinating a
harmless soldier on duty, it is difficult to conjecture. Alarming
reports, of a rising =mpg the people, are prevalent at the Police-
office, and in other parts of the town, and the verdict at York
is assumed as the cause of this desperation. What degree of
credit is due to those rumours •I cannot pretend to determine.—
Another report is, that some of the military hive indicated a
favourable disposition towards Mr. Hunt and his cause, and
have, in consequence, been placed under confinement ; but on
this subject I have no specific information : there appears, how-
, ever, to be a great deal of agitation in the public mind, and I
something very unusual is on the tapir. Yours, truly.
11 To the Printer of the Leeds Mercury." •
1' It has been communicated to us, that a number of stran-
gers—emissaries. we believe, we may call them—are passing
through the country, instigating the people in the manufacturing
districts to arm; and we feel it to be our duty to put the public,
particularly the distressed manufacturers, upon their guard
against their dangerous machinations."—Leeds Mercury.
To the faregoing extracts we have to add, that our
letters of the Ist of April, front Leeds, mention the
fact stated in the Leeds Mercury, of numerous Emis-
satics being busy in that district—a circumstance
which has occasioned no small degree of alarm and
apprehension, not only among those who endeavour 1
to avoid mixing themselves up with the Radicals,
but even among the more rational of the latter, who
assert that they are Oliver-men, sent among them to
endeavour to stir up mischief and tumult—or at least
a semblance of seditious intentions, that some of the
more ignorant may be ensnared to their own ruin.—
The same letters mention, that on the preceding day
a box, containing a numhar of pistols! daggers!! and
pike-heads !!! was seized at Huddersfield. It was
addressed to a person who denies any knowledge of
the box, or its contents ; and. the general impression
there is, that it was.sent by some Spy Gentry, for the
purpose of being seiied before it should reach the
hands of the person to whom it was addressed. The
, box was sent via Manchester.
How the fact may really stand, we cannot take
upon us to decide. But we recollect very well,
that about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years ago,
a box of pike-beads .was addressed, in a similar
manner, to a person at Paisley, without his having

any knowledge whence they came, but which cir-
cumstance was explained shortly`•. after, by the haw]
ing of a Government' spy at Edinburgh, of the name
of Watt. In his zeal to enveigle' others, the .wretch
to whom we allude was taken in his own net, and
met a justly-merited reward from the offended laws
of his country.

The Paris Papers of Thursday arrived in the course I,
of yesterday. The KING'S health continues to im-'

On Wednesday, the Chamber of Deputies made some
farther progress in the passing of the law relative to
the Censorship of the Press. The fifth mid sixth
Articles were adopted, every proposition to amend
them being rejected, and, in some instances, without
even the formality of a reply from anyi-of the Minis-

ters or their supporters.

Extract of a Letter from Paris, dated March 29 :
" In the night of Sunday, two Couriers arrived here who L•ft
Madrid in the morning of the 20th, one for London, and the

ether for llamburgh, in order to fetch Perez de Castro, the new
Minister of State. With them some travellers also reached this.
Notwithstanding the great secrecy and mystery observed, from
their report, as well as confidential letters of the first authority
from head-quartexs, it is pretty evident, that although the Con:
stitution has been proclaimed, and things have subsequently
taken a more favourable nun in Madrid, the important change
thar has been effected, was preceded by a good deal of foul
play, that must eventually see day-light. I almost tremble to
risk my pen on paper, but in moments like the present, no con-
siderations ought to allow me to withhold the truths
" The Cadiz affair, on which I new enter, has created such
a sensation in Madrid, that the people du not cease demanding
the head of Freyre. It appears that this General, on Thursday,
the 9th of March, presented himself before the Municipllity of
Cadiz, and assured the Members, that seeing the adhesion of the
greatest part of the Nation o the Constitution, and being also
convinced that the wishes of the inhabitants of Cadiz were con-
formable to his- own, he formally invited the Corporation to
come toa determination, and adhere to and proclaim the Consti-
tution on the following day. All the preparations for this solemn
act were made; and he farther urged, that it would be advisable
to invite Quiroga to concur in it by his presence, which invita-
tion was to be made by the Corporation, as well as by himself.

" The Municipality received this proposal with the greatest
gladness and good faith, and upon it proceeded to act. A large
platform was raised for the ceremony, everything got ready,
and on Friday, the 10th, the inhabitants, in a state. of rapture
and exultation, filled the streets and public squares, waiting for
the procession which was preparing to leave the Town.ha.l, after
having received Quiroga's answer, congratulating them on their
intentions, but excusing himself for not personally ,ttending,
owing to the duties which imperiously retained hint at the head
of his troops. The procession was already moving, forwards,
When abottt the sam,-_, snore ent the soldiers came forth from the
r quarters of La Bombe, btating Is generale, to Which no attention
whatever was paid by the people, who deemed it a signal for a
parade ceremony. Sum afteewar:.t, several. battalions were
seen advanci'g towards the Alameda, or public walk, others
proceeding up towards the square, or Plazuela del Mentidero,
or that of La Verdad. On entering the latter, they fired on the
people, of whom six were killed, and continuing their march up
the street del Vedor, they formed a junction in the square of
San Antonio, with the division entering by that of Linares.
" The immense concourse of people who covered. the square
of San Antonio, and ignorant of the meaning of the firing they
had just heard, Were taken by surprise, and in an instant inhu-
manly and perfidiously assaulted by close discharges of the whole
division. The people, in a state of frantic fury, from all quae,
tern, rushed on the troops, and the bloody scene did not termi-
nate till Saturday, the 11th, in the afternoon. Plundering and
the greates.. or hor.ois occupied the whole of this melancholy
interval. General Valdes, General Campana, Colonel Barutel,
and it is also said Baron Carondelut, were literally torn to pieces
by the people, who were joined by the marines and artillery,
and eventually they compelled the battalions to retire to their
11 quarters, where they fortitted themr,elvei. The Constitution
was at length sworn to, and proclaimed literally over the dead
bodies, or whilst yet the many victims thus immolated by the
hand of perfidy, lay stretched in the streets. My heart recoils
at the scene I hive betn compelled to describe.
" On the 19th, in Madrid, it was not known whether the
Cadiz soldiery bad submitted ; but we undersu.nd the inhabi-
tants were flying from the place, and from the 11th to the 16th,
when the Government ought to have received advice., there is
a cruel ir.terval, that fills all those with alarm who are connected
in Cadiz.

“ But, my dear friend, this is not the only act of perfidious
treachery, I fear, we shall have to record. The immortal Riego,
after having done prodigies of valour, received a dispatch,
brought by three of Joseph O'Donnel's Officers, announcing
to him their determination to declare for the Constitution, and
inviting him to fraternise with their division. More confiding,
or perhaps less fortunate than Quiroga, Riego accepted the
offer, notwithstanding the great disparity of his rival's forces.—
Ou reaching O'Donnel's lines with the small party that accom-
panied him, to his great astonishment, he found himself en-
trapped and surrounded by numbers, but instantly forming into
-close column, at the point of the bayonet he opened his way
through the enemy, losing some killed and a few prisoners. This
took place in the neighbourhood of Seville, whither O'Donnel
' afterwards led in his prisoners handcuffed; but the inhabitants,
who bad already learnt the disgraceful stratagem that had been
played off, of themselves rosy up and liberated them, and after-
wards declared for the Constitution. This look place on the 9th
or 10th, and the coincidence of the two events renders it but too
probable that they were previously planned in Madrid and in-
tended as simultaneous acts. Freyre, as soon as the Cadiz af-
fair got warm, embarked for Port Sc. Mary's, where, when he
, arrived, he found the people and troops taking the oath to the
Comstitution.”

-A Hamburgh Mail arrived this forenoon, with
Papers to the 29th ultimo. Their contents are un-
important.
