Mr. CURWOOD." I have a plea to that effect."
Chief Justice ABBOTT.—" You plead that in abate-
ment ?"--Mr. CURWOODo...-" Yes, my Lord."

thief-Justice ABBOTT.—" Then the prisoner must
swear to it."

The prisoner was then sworn to make true answers
to all such questions as the Court should demand
of him.

Chief Justice AssoTr.—" Fie must swear that the
plea is true in matter and substance."
Mr. SHELTON.—" Are the contents of that your
affidavit trut ?"—Prisoner." Yes, Sir."
Chief Justice AIBOTT.—" The plea is received by

and John Shaw Strange, were then arraigned for the
murder of Richard Smithers, on the 23d of Feb. last.
They all pleaded Not Guilty.
Ings._" Are we to to tried together or sepa-
rately ? I wish to be tried by myself. I can clear
up the charges brought against me."
Chief Justice AsnoTT.—" You will probably have
that granted, if you desire it. This, however, is not
the proper time to state your wish. An opportunity
will occur by and bye:'
Arthur Thistlewood, W. Davidson, James Ings,
Charles Cooper, Richard Tidd, James Wilson, Rich-
ard Bradburn, J. Shaw Strange, and J. Gilchrist,
were next arra;gned, under the verditt of the Coro-
ner's Jury, for the murder of Richard Smithers. In
this indictment, Wilson's name was correctly in-
serted. The prisoners pleaded—" Not Guilty."

The Prisoner's Counsel was directed to prepare a
plea in abatement, founded on the misnomen.

Lords, the prisoners intend to challenge separateli."
Lord Chief Justice AnsoTr.—., Then, let Arthur
Thistlewood be informed, that he Will be tried, alone,'
on the indictment for High Treason, on Monday."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—" Perhaps it would
be as well to hear the fact from the prisoners them:
selves."

Chief Justice ABBOTT—" Several of you are in-
jicted joilitly for High Treason: do you wish to join
your cl;allenges, or to challenge separately?"
Thisticwool,—" We mean to separate our chal-
lenges." -

from the prisoners themselves."
Mr. SIIELTON..-.-44 Arthur Tbistiewood, the Court,
:A ill proceed on your trial, on the indictment for
High Treason, on Monday, at nine o'clock precisely."
Chief Justice ABBOTT.--" All the prisoners, ex-
cept Wilson, may now withdraw."
On leaving the dock, Tidd and Thistlewood shook
hands very affectionately.

Wilson remained in the dock, until his plea in
abatement was drawn ; he immediately swore to the
truth of its contents.

Chief Justice Annorr.—ge Your pleas will be re-
ceived. You may withdraw. The prisoner is not
discharged. There is an indictment found against
him, by the name of James Wilson, under the Coro-
ner's Inquest."—Wilson then retired.
The appearance of most of the prisoners was ex-
tremely shabby. Thistlewood, whose countenance
is care-worn and sallow, was dressed in a black coat
and light waistcoat. He conducted himself with
rumness. Davidson, the man of colour, looked
well, and pleaded in a very audible voice. The rest
behaved with much composure.

It was generally reported in Court, that the pub-
lication of the proceedings will be prohibited, -until
they are finally completed.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore-!
noon. The following news from Madrid is extracted
from the Bourdeaux Papers.—" When Colonel In-
fantes, I)eputy from the Patriot Army in the Isle de
Leon, felicitated the King on the late happy change
in affairs, he at the same time said to his Majesty—.

4, The army will preserve the possession of the Isla
until the assembling of the Cortes ; having , taken
arms for the good of the Nation, it is to the Cortes
that the armywill-restore them; the troops have not
any private project in view ; but the desire of teeing
the Constitutional system consolidated, and some
clouds dispersed, obliges them to Maintain themselves
in a military attitude."
A Decree of the KING permits all the refugees ou

the party of JOSEPH BONAPARTE to return to their
horhis ; and orders that their properties stall be re's
stored to them. A veCture full of Inquisitors from
Spain, lately passed through Dar," o±/ilo's occti,
