able witnesses. Satchi's arrival in the night tithe with the is.
patch from General Pine, was a story which, like Malachi, he
had also entirely to himself. Next came the case to which he bad
now particularly to direct the attention of their Lordships, the ease
of Chanitz, which also rested on a single witness, and that wit-
ness De Mont. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to contrast
the statement of this case, as proved by the Attorney-General,
N. ith the case, as proved by De Mont's evidence. The comps=
‘tison, he said, afforded an additional proof of the malicious and
c. erupt motives by which this witness was actuated ; she deceived
4:1 Learned Friends, she had stated circumstances, which by
themselves made out a prima facie case of guilt, while she pur
y only concealed others, Which if known, must have utterly
tii.credited such an imputation. De Mont, in her examination
in chief, endeavoured to show that the Princess was undressed;
but in the cross-examination, the fact comes out, that the Prin-
cess was dressed, and that she reposed on the bed in a travelling
cap, and a dress with much fur on it, until Bergarni returned with
the passport, and then she put herself in motion. Not only
was the Princess, but De Mont was compelled to acknowledge
that she herself was laying on anothar bed in the same room.
tie (the Learned Counsel) would here advert to the letter of
De Mont, insinuating that persons were ready to pay her for
giving evidence against the Princess, and that she was ready to
/disclose or conceal all she knew, accordingly as the Princess,
treated her. This was the construction his Learned Friends op.
pnsite must put on that letter ; and, if that was the case, it was a
threatening letter, and her Majesty shewed her own innocehee,
and the consciousness that De Mont could not with truth speak
one word against her ; that she did not even notice it, much lea
endeavour to conciliate her good opinion, or purchase it as a guilty
person would have done. In regard to the affair at Caarnitz,
Lieut. Hownam states, that it was necessary to go to Inspruck for
passports, and that Bergaml and Vassali went for them, and re-
turned very late. In a rigid cross-examination, the basis of which
his Learned Friend, no doubt, had from Sacehi and De Mont,
they ask him about the time, the snow, &c. but there was nothing
in the evidence of Lieut. Howmun at all contradictory. In intro.
during the witness Vassali, he trusted that it was no reflection
on his character that he had served as a private soldier in a
lloyal Guard of Honour, since, on the Continent, nothing was
more common than for young men of the most respectable
families serving as Guards of Honour to Sovereign Princes.
Vassali says he returned from Inspruck about two or three
o'clock, that he immediately went into the room of her Royal
Highness, whom he found on the bed, ready dressed for
her journey—that Bergami was in the room, and the little
Victorine was on the sante bed with her Royal Highness.--
'This fact De Mont artfully and wickedly concealed, although
she was in the room at the time, ant" must have known it. Vas-
sali further stated, that he was frequently in the room during the
night, and that the rest of her Royal highness's suite were
passing in and out of it the whole time, before they set out
on the journey. Her Royal Highness being very anxious to
quit an inn which afforded so little accommodation, watched
the state of the weather with much anxiety.— speaking.

Tuesday afternoon, as the Rev. WILLIAM I'mNo,
some time Minister of the Associate Congregation at
Stranraer, was coming horn Auchterarder to Dun-
ning, he stopped to water his horse at a well, at the
entry to the Market-place; while the horse was
stooping to drink, the crupper of the saddle broke,
and the unfortunate man tumbled headlong over the
horse's neck into the well, and was killed on the spot.
Medical assistance was immediately obtained ; his
neck, which was found to be dislocated, was in-
stantly reduced, but all attempts to restore anima-'
don proved ineffectual.
Yestercloy the remains of JoHN HaTaltLL, Esq.
late Senior Clerk of the House of Commons, were
removed (torn his seat, Marden Park, near Godstnne,
Surrey, for interment in the Temple Church. The
procession moved in the following order :
Four Mutes on horseback.
Six Horsemen, in Mourning Cloaks and Scarfs.
The State Lid of Feathers, attended by two Pages.
The Hearse, containing the Body, with Six Horses, capari-
soned with velvet covering and plumes of ostrich feathers,
attended by Pages.
Six Mourning Coaches,with Six Horses each, attended by Pages,
and followed by levers' private carriages, among which was
that of the Speaker of the House of Commons. 11
The Chief Mourners were the Right Hon. the Speaker of the
House of Commons, the Hots. Mr. Powys, William Ley, and
Charles Hoare, Esqrs. who proceeded to the first coach.
John , Jeremiah Dyson, George Whittam, and John Rick-
Leil
man, ts. minded in the second carriage.
Theo er carriages contained several Gentlemen
belonging to the House of Commons, with some of
the domestics of his household.

On entering into the Great Hall in the Temple,
the procession was met by the Recorder and Benchers
in their full robes, together with a number of Gentle-
men and Officers in their gowns, and other regalia of
office, when the whole proceeded in solemn proces-
sion to that ancient Church, where, on entering, the
solemn dirge•of 44 Saurs March" was performed on
the organ, and, after the funeral ceremony, the body
u as deposited in the vault.
Letter from an Officer of rant in Spain, dated
October 2.-44 Riego, the famous chief; oho, with
Quiroga, were the first to raise the standard of oppo-
sition to Kingly despotism, and who, from the rank
of Lieutenant-Colonel last January, was raised to
Mareschal de Campo in April, and Captain-General
of Andalusia, was, on the 6th ult. deprived of all,
his honours, and banished from the Court of Madrid
to Oviedo ! It appears, on presenting himself at the
metropolis, he had very publicly declared in favour
of a Republican form of Government. Any party
entertaining these views never can succeed. Wealth
is power ; and, as the wealth of the nation is entirely
in the hands of the church, monks, and grandees, it
is only from than that most is to be dreaded, whose
apparent interest is to support absolute monarchy.—
This party contains at least two-thirds of the popu-
lation. The middling class, and more enlightened
of the peasantry, are for the King and Constitution,
as at present established. We owe the present system
to the army, but it was accomplished on condition that
the military code should be improved, and our pay
increased. This has not yet been attended to, but if
not soon, something must occur which will prove
fatal to the peace of the country."
The following is an extract of a letter from an
Englishman, settled in Pennsylvania :—" In this
country the mercantile distress is beyond any former
precedent, occasioned by buying more than they can
pay for, and more than the country wants. The land
has been very bountiful this year; for I never saw
better crops, and well got in. A dollar is 4s. 6d.
sterling, and 100 cents ; wheat is now selling in Phi-
ladelphia at 90 cents per bushel of 62 lbs. oats, 25
cents; butter, 12i cents per lb. cheese 8 to 12; rye
v hickey, 27 cents per gallon; bacon, 8 to 10 cents
per lb. beef, about the same ; labourers' wages, about
7.5 cents per day; mechanics, from one dollar to one
dollar 25 cents ; employment scarce."
