on the premises. The prisoner was immediately
carried before Dr. WHITAIKFR, who, after an exami.
nation of some length, committed him•to Preston, to
which place he was sent off in a post-chaise, accom-
panied by a proper escort:
" I need hardly say, that the discovery• of such
dangerous weapons manufacturing here, excited no
small sensation among a considerable concourse,which
the event brought together; nor did subsequent
events tend to lessen our apprehensions ; for, at four
o'clock, this morning, a person, named Morris, a
machine-maker, was brought here from Pike Law,
near Bellthorn, in this neighbourhood, by a Con-
stable and a party of Dragoons. It is understood:
that some pistols, bullets, and unfinished pikes, were
found in his possession. PI

Aboui eight o'clock, -another person, named
Knowles, was brought here from'Rawtenstall, escorted
•
by a party of Dragpons.
" Both of these, after an examination, by Dr.
WHITAKER, were likewise committed to Preston.—
The Police are active in the pursuit of other indi-
duals, who are suspected of being _concerned in this
infamous business ; and hopes are entertained, from
the clue that has been obtained, that none of them
will be able to-elude the pursuits of justice."

A Flnders Mail arrived last night. The Em-
peror ALEXANDER was expected to be at Warsaw
(from Finland) on the 2ith ult. to which place the
Austrian Ambassador to the Russian Court was to
proceed by the end of September, to lat before him
the Resolutions of the Congress of Carlsbad, to whiCh
he will no doula accede. Indeed being the founder of
the Holy Alliance, it would be strange should he dii-
sent from any of its proceedings, in matters 4hat re-
late to the restraint of popular claims.--Already the
Press has been laid under restraint in various places,
in Germany, and in consequence several Public Jour-
nals have been suspended.

It is denied by the foreign Journals that any mis-
-understancling exists among the Northern Potentates ;
but it is believed there
will
be a highly important 1
change of territory, and even of Thrones; and that
the successive journies of the Margrave Litoroto of
BADEN and of the KIN° Of WIRTEMBERO, are rela-
tive to it. It is also certain that the KING of PROS.SI4
will have An interview with the Emperor of RUSSIA.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived"this forenoor..
They contain rumours of a change in the. Ministry.

be ested to-day, its ire have boon tidbit-a
by what law the defendant is to be tried
My answer, Gentlemen, is, -that he is to he tried ,by
the ancient, the well-known, the universally merry..
nixed Common Law of England,—that law which•
existed and was reverenced and obeyed before c
was any Statute on the Booksthat law by v: hire
our civil rights are regulated, by which our pro-
perty is protected from the thief by. day, by which
our houses arc protected from the midnight• ir-•
truder, which our lives are protected from the
knife of the assassin, by which our naturel-is pro-
tected from the violation of unnatural lust.--
Gentlemen, such are some of those crimes wilich the
Common Law of this land has denounced-that law
which we have been told is nolaw ; and•realh• the
defendant might as well tell us that riot one of all
these crimes can be competently tried by' anya Celan •
in the country, as stand there and maintain that itis
incompetent for this Court to try him •for the eqtaally
high and serious crime., against Common Law, with
which he is now charged. A doctrine such as that
maintained by the defendant, would, in fact; set -all
law and order at complete defiance. The book,- (len-
tlemen, which is imputed as a libel to tbe-deferilaht;
is entitled Principles of atm e ; or, A..beveldrea
ment of the Moral Causes of Happiness and Misr
among the Human Species.' It hears to be l3y •
Elihu• Palmer,' and. the imprint states that it icas
'America Painted,' but Re painted and Published'
in' London,' by R. Carli.e, .55, fleet-street:. Whe-
ther all these staternedts Le false or true, I, kania.'hot
—whether there be any such person as this.' tiilars •
Palmer,' or whether the book. has ever before been
printed, I neither know nor care. It is enough that •
I find the defendant openly publishing it with hit own
hand; and as it will be my business to slew to your,
publishing it with no other purpose that). that:charged
in the Indictment—the profane and wicked purpose of
reviling the Christian Religion and Holy scripture.
It is a painful task, Gentlemen, to give utterance to
such•passages as I shall be 'obliged to read til'lteta in
support of my Case; it must be as painful- for tnti to
hear, as for me to repeat thern—rassages abonii.
nable, that, except certain parts 'of thit-iiifaitcifi•
work with the comideraticia of eihich the Cant) as,
for these three dap pat;. been ciectipied, I rimeinilci
not to have read or heard of nny thiegskrenirfillAe
for .wickedness and atrocity:-.."-The flea' passage to
which 1 shall request yosir attention is contained in it
Chapter entitled—' The Bible, or the Sacred WI itin,s
cf the JCsys and Christians.' I shall read you the
introduction to this Chapter, in order that you may
see what•it aims at." •
Here the Learned Counsel proceeded to' read the
introduction, till he came to a passage'in
Moses and Mahomet are spoken of in cobjuilaiOn..--
~ Gentlemen, for what other purpose bait thatcf
reviling the Christian Religion could any nian think:
of coupling together two names such as.theie—one,
as exalted and beneficent a character as GCD ever
sent upon earth ; the other, the Most impious impostor
that ever lived? Atrocious as this is, you will little •
expect, Gentlemen, what is to felkw."
[The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to read
what it would sully our pages to repeat, and what
we are happy no necessity compels us to assist in dis.-
seminating.D
The Learned Counsel; ead one passage from.thlbel,
which stated, that the immoral tendency of the Old
Testament proved that it was not a work 4ipproved
or authorised by GOD ;.anchalso a passage declaring,
that our Saviour was not a good moral character, and
condemning the maxims of the New Testament as a
perversion 'of moral virtue, and cakulated to debase
and ruin the faculties of an intelligent being.—
" I cannot," continued the Learned Counsel, " help
repeating the language of one of the greatest scholars
of any age—a man, who to the usual acquisition.; of
a refined education, added an intimate knowledge
the Religion of all the Eastern Countries,•4 mean Fir
William Jones, who says—, I have read, with the ut-
most attention, the Holy Scriptures, and am con-
Tinted, that the Bible contains, independelitly of the
Ipowerful religious instruction of its pages,. more'
Sublimity and beauty, and-higher strains of eloquence
and morality, than, could be collected from all the• •
booki thateree were written.' This is thecheracter
given of the lloly Scriptures by this powerful-thinker.
Now, attend to this sentence in the book-befere.you,'
in which the defendant seems to have summed up his
rull measure of- reviling—, Moses, Mahomet, and
test's, can Lay as little claim to the praise of benetit-.
ins mankind as an'. three men that ever came iatorhe
World. They are all impostors—two of them were
niurderers'in practice—the other a murderer in prin-
ciple!' What can be said, Gentlemen of the Jui y, of
one who issues this abomination, which even exceeds
that whik la- was the subject of yesterday's coitclemyra-
tion? This.Cuurt isn't an arena for theological contro-
versy ; if. it were, I„; trust niy knowledge of the con-
tents of the Sacrral-Book would enable me to combat
