THE STATESMAN,

church service begins about half past ten. and the church
is about half a mile from us. He said that morning he was
((lite well.
the prisoner said to the witness, in a passion, Why are
you swearing false? My Lord, may I examine her.
Mr. Justice. BATLEY.—No ; she is your witness.
Prisoner (furious)—She is false.
Mr. Justice BATLEY—She is yawr witness, and said much
in yOur favour; if you wish, discontinue her exami-
nation.
Prisoner—Then I wish it, my Lord. I dill not desire her
to be called. tam not learned in the laws of England. My
counsel is false if he desired her to he called. The woman
is out of her mind, and her father told me so.—(His father
here got up and denied it.)
Thr kindness of the Learned Judge's manner at length
conciliated him, and he allowed the examination to pro
reed.—lle put on two shirts and two pair of stockings,
and then put his shoes over them. He ran up and down
the room very quick. 1 told him not to go to the church,
Witt to go with his brother to the chapel; that he could
bear there better. He talked a deal of nonsense to his
brother, and lie told him to give over, and that lie would
let him hare the hook he was reading when he was done
wits it. I went out of the house for a few minutes, and
when I came back he was gone. 1 did not see him again
'till he was taken up. I thought lie had drowned himself.
His father and I had an eye open him all Saturday, and
were very uneasy about him, and dnrst not leave him wher-
ever he went. I bad a brother, named George, who died
very bad in his head, and out of his senses. My son is
very like him in every respert. He was very deaf, and
often very low and nervous. He was buried in the church
yard.
When witness had been erns'-examined by Mr. STARKIC
and re-examined by Mr. Jotces, it came out that Dr. St.
Clare had twice a week, for a fortnight before, given the
prisoner medicine for his head.
The prisoner wanted to eross-examine his mother, hut
Ms Lordship told him that she was already cross examined.
and that he would put any question he pleased. The pri-
soner, through his Lordship, asked questions which went
to Contradict the atatement of his mother. On being asked
by his Lordship if he had any objection to his father being
examined, he said that he had not, because he believed he
was in bit senses.
Thomas Ryding, the prisoner's father, was then exa-
mined, and confirmed the statement of the mother as to the
• attack in the head, to which the prisoner was subject. He
was convinced that, from the Ist of May to the 27th of
July, the day of the misfortune, he had but one night's
sleep. They were afraid the Saturday before that lie would
base destroyed himself or same of the family. His mother
watched him closely that day, for witness liad hut one leg,
haviog lost the ()Ater on hoard his Mijesty's Ship the
Snake.
Dr. St. Clare was here recalled, and asked by the Court
whether the prisoner had ever applied to him for any re-
medy for any disorder? Witness recollected his applying
to bias on the 22d of July last, he then complained of bead-
ache and deafness, as well as ear-ache. The head-ache he
described as very violent. His pallet on the first occasion
was rather quick: when be called a second time at the Dis-
pensary, witness did not feel it. The day of the assault,
after it happened, his poise he then felt, and it was above
90. He hail not particularly studied derangetnent of mind.
From hisfeeling the pulse but on two occasion*, he could
ant ferns any opinion of the probable state of his mind
Frequently a treat deal of cunning is practised by deranged
persons: It was quite inconsistent with considerable de-
rangement to be conscious of knowing when they were
doing wrong or right. When he saw the prisoner at the
Magistrate's, his mind was in a state of considerable excite-%
meat; be manifested a complete apathy of every moral feel.
int, aged that apathy, as far as he could speak from so short
an observation, was real and not assumed, Cases of (Mir-
iam were distinct from eases of delusion. Witness thought'
the manner of the prisoner at the Dispensary, on the 22d of
July. rather strange.
Walton, the constable, was called again. He recollected
that when the prisoner was apprehended he had two clean
shine on.
Mr. Justice BATLEY rose to charge the Jury at eves
o'clock, and had not finished until half-past nine. The
ease deserved not only very extraordinary attention on the
part of the Jury, but an extraordinary exertion of wand
discrimination. It would be for the JOry to sac whether or
sot they believed the prisoner, when be committed the act,
• was Inside a state of mind as to be able to distinguish at
the time the right from the wrong, or that he hid a moral
perception on the tendency of his own actions.
The Jar', after twenty minutes deliberation, returned
a verdict of (kitty, but at the time the prisoner was not of
sound mind.

the morning of the 20th inst.
We have seen his Royal Highness, after long marches,
bivouac with the soldiers, talk to them, inquire into the
musts of each with fatherly attention, and when fatigue
compelled him to take some repose on the rocks of the
Serra Morena, he slept among the soldiers, shared his
straw with them, disregarding all care of his august person.
General Ballasteros repaired to Cordova to pay Ida re-
spects to the Prince, and concert with him the deliverance of
the King.
Mattain, Aug. it —The Revolutionary Government at
Cadis resorts to all sorts of means'to raise money, and now
Las' o other resource than the property of the inhabitants,
who have already been called on to advance money as an
ertraordinerycontribation.
On the 6th inst. a Royalist corsair took a Constitutional
bark off Cadiz, is which were six very suspicious indivi-
deals. They have been conducted to the prisons of Port
St. Marie.—One of them is an Aid-de-Camp to Argenti,
formerly an officer of the Guards; anothr is Casteldorius ;
a third was Secretary to the late Political Chief of Vit-
toria. Papers of the greatest importance were found on
these persons. Every day we capture barks loaded with
provisions, and nothing can enter Cadiz. The Cure
Cepero, who figured in the Cortes of 1820, has been arrested
at Seville.

The Ambassadors from Foreign Powers, accredited at
Vienna, have been officially informed of the approaching
journey of their Imperial Majesties to Milan; it is left to
themselves whether they will follow his Imperial Majesty,
or remain at Vienna. Their Majesties will probably pass
the winter at Milan, and' it is presumed that a Congress
will be held there, to which will be invited the Princes of
Italy, and at which they will consult, respecting the affairs
of Simla and Rome.

MADRID, Atm ith—The following is what probably
gave rise to the news circnlated yesterday:—
A letter from Seville stated, that " CALATRAVA bad bad,
on the sth instant a long conference with General BORDE-
SOULT, in the Isle of Leen, at the conclusion of which the
Cortes and the Members, of the Revolutionary Government
embarked on board English vessels. On'the 6th, at day

bill liberty, and at Got head quarters of the besieging army,
Cadiz having surrendered, amid cries of Vine le Rol the
ringing of bells, and discharges of cannon, which coati-
nued firing at the moment when the courier departed."
MADRID, AUGUST 12.—There is still some talk of pre-
parations made by the Codes for their departure from
Cadiz; but the Authorities have invited the people to
wait for the communications which the Regency will
make in order to satisfy their laudable impatience.
The last news from Cadiz was of the 6th instant. The
Revolutionary Government, in want of resources, had
levied an extraordinary contribution on all private pro.
petty.

The Greeks have long had a negotiation on foot with the
Bishop of the Montenegrins, who is their Spiritual and
Military Chief, and have at length apparently obtained his
support.
Letters from Larissa of Jnly i'Oth, say that the Paella of
Adrianople has been as roughly treated at Tnermopylw this
year as the fatuous Churschid Pacha was last year.

Coevu, JULE 15.—Three battles between the Greeks and
Turks took place at three different parts of Pindus in the
month of Jun.. The former had the advantage in them
ail, and the last was very much in their favour. The Al-
banian General, Suldjo-Corgea, was killed on this occasion.
.His loss is ly felt by the Mahomedans, as he was the
most skilful and brave General they possessed. After the
defeat of Churschid Pacha last year, he preserved the plains
of Thessaly for the Turks by Lis skilful manoeuvres.
After their last success, the Greeks extended themselves
to the defiles of Zveos, on one of the higheit points of
hlonnt Pindus. From here they have established a free
communication with Olyrupns and 'Pains. The Turks are
surrounded on the plains of Larissa, and every day import-

THURSDAY EYENINO. Auousr 21, 1823.

STOCK EXCIIANOS, 12 O'CLOCK.—Consols opened this
morning. at 8211. and are now IL with little business
doing. We understand that a private express has arrived
from Paris, but it does not bring any informa-
tion of consequence. It is said, that the Reales
at Paris are a trifle bitter.

There are favourable reports of the Quarter's revenue.
It is said that the Custom-bonse alone has produced four
hundred thousand pounds wore than in the corresponding

quarter.
Private letters from Pads state that the French Govern-
ment have furbiden Brokers, on the forfeiture of their
licenses, to speculate in the Funds.
FORTION FUNDS.—Spanish Bonds opened this morning
at 361, and got up to 371; but owing to no intelligence
from France, of any consequence, very little business is do-

New Spanish 371—New Prussian 861—Russian 861—
Colombian 681—French Scrip 211.
Owe co!Ccocc—lt is this moment reported on Change,
that the French rands come 92-95 ; 1 per cent. worse.

An English vessel, called the SPANISH PATSIOT, laden
with Ammunition, going into Cadiz, has been taken by
the French squadron.

Bayonne papers have reached os this morning to the 14th
instant. They are chiefly occupied with an article dated
Madrid, 7th August, of which the following are extracts:—

" The soccessive situations in which the French have
been in Spain. especially since the distribution of their
forces, had induced all politicians to form calculations,
which have been frustrated by causes and accidents which
they could not take into the account: it is the same as with
the symptoms of some diseases, which put to shame the
aphorisms of the physicians.
In fact, the French would have been in a bad position in
the Peninsula, if the Constitutional Generale had been
faithful to their oaths, and persevering both in combat and
in resisting the machinations of their enemies. But we
must not look among the Spanish Generals for that con-
stancy, that disinterestedness, that virtue, which, however,
distinguish Mina—the only man of the kind who has yet
appeared is the military annals of the Peninsula of our
time."

After viewing the defection of Ballasteros as the result
of the system pursued by the French, and remarking bow
powerfully that Oeneral might have served the Constitu•
tional cause, and bow deeply be has injured it, the writer
says that, among the conditions which Ballasteros made
withMarone was, that his troops should not be employ.
ed against the National forces of any party t yet a great
number of offseete. sabalterss and soldiers, have offered
their services to the Regency. The writer then adverts to
the setuados which this .•sot bad ceased at Madrid,

and the reports to which it had given rise of the
speedy deliverance of the King; and then proceeds
to notice the financial state of the invaders and their
allies.—" The Regency has recourse to requisitions to sup-
port the army. The French troops share them-in some de-
gree, and the loan of 50 Millions contracted by Pd. Erro
is destined in a great measure to indemnify the treasury of
Paris for the advances made to the Regency, independently
of the enormous exposure of the French army. It is calcu-
lated that the sum of 200 millions of Reals in Spanish mo-
ney has been sent from France since the month of Janu-
ary, and that the sum of 100 millions of Franca, French
money, is actually in circulation in the Peninsula.
" It is reported that the Duke of Angouleme, referring to
accounts which he has received from Cadiz, has asked le as-
sistance of the English Cabinet to save the Royal Family from
the terrible effects of a conspiracy carrying on there, and that
in consequence of these urgent representations, Sir W.
A'Court must go to Cadiz.
" The Prince condones his journey to Cadiz without obsta-
cle. All is quiet on the left of the Ebro. The removal of the
line of custom-houses to that river has given great activity to
the trade of the three inseam provinces and Navarre; their
intercourse with France is increased in an extraordinary de-
gree, and French goods of all kinds pass almost freely to the
Castilles and to the Capital, where commerce begins to revive.
" We are tranquil at Madrid, only impatient for the conse-
quences of the convention with Ballasteros."
The following article is dated Bayonne, the 13th in-
s'ant

Some Royalists arrived yesterday at Bordeaux from Sara-
gossa, give en unfavourable account of the state of that
city, from which they have bed. The French Governor they
say, had solicited a reinforcement of 1,600 men, that he might
be able to restrain the people who refused to set at liberty the
prisoners, and to recognise the French military authority.-
3,00 Families are stated to have quitted the city, and the num-
ber of persons imprisoned is said to be 1,100.
The band of Montilla (who is dead) entered Ca!short on the
2d, and levied a large contribution on the Chapter. That of
Clsapalingarra was on the bth in the mountains of Estella, in
IN e, pursued by the soldiers of the Faith. The season is
not favourable for the formation of these bands, and the inha-
bitants do not all favour them, especially since the privileges
of the three provinces on the left of the Ebro, have been re-
stored.

The summons made by Marshal Lauriston to Santo's', St.
Sebastian, and Patopeluna, has availed nothing.
The Duchess of Anonisms expects to see her august consort
by the end of September ; not that she is going to meet him,
bat her Royal Highness is of opinion that the affairs of the Pe-
ninsula will be shortly terminated.

Files of American papers, to the 2d of Aug. have been re-
ceived this morning, from which we select the following
ext mete :

(MOH Till NEW YORK GAZIMi.)
FALL 07 MA RACAI BO.—CILIOCCaS papers* and a supplement
of the Colombian have come to hand. The latter contains
an Official Despatch from General Manrique, dated
at Maracaibo, on the 17th ult., announcing the capture of
that place. The Patriot forces effected a landing at the
Points Sinamayra and Periga, at 5 o'clock. An action
ensued, which lasted till nine o'clock, when the enemy
was compelled to retreat to the mountains, leaving
the capital in possession of the Patriots, who were
unable to pursue them u the night was very dark,
accompanied with heavy rain. The Royalist foree is not
stated, but is said to have been greater than the Patriots. Alt
the smaller vessels of the enemy were taken; with the artillery
a large park of ammunition and )000 suits of clothes. The
enemy's loss is stated at 200 wounded and SO killed.
MAR tC.11130 RlTAlLlN.—Curaccos Papers, to the 12th
inst., give an account of the rouptere of Maracaibo, by
the troops eider Morales, who entered the tows with the
main body of the army without any resistance ; the Colum-
bian forces having made good their retreat, after having
pillaged the city.
nom HAVANYA.—Captain Pasant arrived at Charles
town, in 5 days fromHavanna,reports that a French frigate
had arrived there with a flag of truce, with despatches from
the Governor of Martinique, to the Governor of Cuba.
They proposed an accommodation between the French of
that Island and Cuba, which was not acceded to.

COMMIRCIALLT IMPORTANT.'

The .I em York Mercantile Advertiser 5471, that an ar-
rangement has been agreed upon, between the Governors of
the Spanish and French West India blands, that their Com-
merce shall not be molested by the vessels of war of those
nations on the station. This arrangement was completed at
Marti nigne.

The French News from Spain has dwindled from the
mock important to the ridiculous sublime! We have no
more reports of the liberation of the King. nor of the
flight of the Cortes. The war is taking its natural course
—the French are marching and boasting to no purpose;
and the Spanish resistance is becoming every day more
organized and effective. We are inclined to give some
credit to the intelligence that Moncey has been attacked,
and defeated by Mins, and Matins ; for letters from Paris
say " the telegraph was noticed to be in active employ-
" ment during Monday, but no despatch had been made
public." This looks ominous to the French cause; for
when they were so eager to publish mete reports in their
own favour, they would not have hesitated to make any
thing public, which might tell in their behalf. There is
little doubt but that the whole object of these pretended
negotiations was to paralyze the exertions of the different
constitutional officers, who could not be bribed to betray
their country ; and it is equally obvious that the intrigue
has totally failed. It seems to us, notwithstanding,
that - the Cortes should immediately Niue a declara-
tion that they will never listen to any proposals,
even for a suspension 'of hostilities, until the
French army shall have evacuated the Peninsula. It is
due to the glorious combatants in Catalonia, and to the gal-
lant defenders of Comas, that they should be positively

assured, that their well-won laurels shall not be blighted
by any diplomatic treachery ;—for it would be treason to
Spanish independence to negotiate with an enemy who is
in the road to inevitable defeat. The New Times, with the
usual scorn of truth, which distinguishes its editor, says
" the Cortes, which it is the fashion in England to think
" and speak of as a sovereign power, seem to have dwin.
died down to a small number of individuals, of little
" weight or influence with any body :"—and after having
before observed that any promises made to them would be
most religiously kept, he quotes some lines from Hudibras,
advising them to escape, " to save their windpipes from the
law." The scribe cannot disguise his ferocity. It is part
of the nature of a renegade ; and nothing would please this
rogue better than to have to justify the massacre of the Car-
tee, as he did the military murder of Marshal Ney. In whose
eyes do the Cortes seem to have dwindled so mach ? Not
in the eyes of the French, whom they have held, and will
hold in defiance ; and who are so eager to treat with the
Cortes, that the Duke d'Angouleme has undertaken a jour-
ney from Madrid to Cadiz, in order to open negotiations
with them. Not in the eyes of the Rebel Regency, whom,
the latest news describes as having been actually dismissed
by their creators, the French, to pave the way for the com-
mencement of negotiations. Not in the eyes of the Con-
stitutionalists of Spain ; since the standard of the Cortes is
yet flying upon the ramparts of a hundred fortresses, in
derision of the attempts of the invaders, or of native traitors,
to tear them down. Not in the eyes of the British Oa
vernment, which still acknowledges them as the " Soar•
reign power," and refused to hear of the authority of the
Rebel Regency. No, not even in the eyes of the scribe
himself, who feels that they are the masters of the destinies
of Spain, and trembles in every limb, i o the dread that their
honesty and integrity would rescue that portion of the
globe from the accursed" monarchical principle," with the
re-establishment of which it is threatened.

The decree for the dismissal of the Regency, a copy of
which we gave yesterday, is treated by the Ultras as not
••utbentic ; but it•is clear, that such a step must be taken
by the French, before they could propose to negotiate. We
trust that even such a step would not induce the Cortes to lis-
ten to them; bnt before any offer to negotiate could be made,
the Cortes most be admitted to be the may existing authorities
in Spain. It would be a mere trick to dismiss the Regency ;
because the moment Ferdinand regained his authority,
that, or a worse body, would be called into power ; and the
members of the Cortes would be treated as he treated those
who preserved his crown for him, while he was embroider-
ing petticoats, as the willing slave of Napoleon.

The exploits of the Duke d'Angouleme ought to be col.
lected into a little volume, and bound up as a counterpart
to the adventures of Baron Monchausen. The burlesque
and the impossible would sort extremely well together.—
His " Royal Highness" has been about five times as lost
in the march from Madrid, as an ordinary Courier would
have been; and in illustration of his astonishing exertion,
we have the following paragraph :—" His Royal Highness
" was observed, after tedious marches, goinl through the
" bivouacs, speaking to all he met, and inquiring like a father,
" into the wants of all; and when fatigue forced him to take
" some repose, on the rocks of the Sierra Morena, he laid

himself downs by the saw soldier, shared with his brave

" men his little straw, not permitting any farther care to
i• be taken of his August Person !" This is fine fidget
The Duke of York is held to be as attentive to tLe wants
of his men in the field, as any officer; but we dare say His
Royal Highness never carried his condescension so far as
to sleep upon straw, Teith the soldiers by tnioiee; nor the
Duke d'Angouleme neither, notwithstanding this beautiful
description of his amiability. If he did get among the sol-
diers to sleep, it must have in the fear lest some rough
guerilla should run off with his Ara rat Person:

Of all the impudent mockeries that we Save perused, a
paragraph in the New Time* of this morning, is the mod
audacious. The editor ventures to talk of " those feelings
" of warm and zealous regard for the real interests of the
" labouring and industrious classes, by which he has ever
" been actuated." What a knave is this? Is there a public
abuse which grinds the labourer to the dust, which he has
not zealously advocated? Is he not the sworn champion of
all public plunder, of all public oppression? Is he not the
great bleating bell-tether of the accursed alliance of des
potism ? Is he not at this moment contending for the nt-
cesslty of restoring despotism, and the inquisition in Spain?
Did he not even justify the sabreing of the " labonrin; 101
industrious classes" at Manchester? And is it not notorious,
that he is one of the many-whose hands are always in the
pockets of the labouring and industrious classes? He bit
himself probably received more from the public purse, than
the whole of the population of Spitalfields, in a period of
famine:—and yet he dares to talk of being the advocate of
the real interests of the labouring classes. If he is, their
real ialereatt consist in labouring for him. and su.h at
him; and in being deceived, plundered, and oppressed„to
a greater extent than the labouring classes of any other
country, except Ireland. Bat how, upon his own shewing,
does he advocate their interests? By telling them what
should be their rights, and teaching them how to
obtain them ?—By pointing out their wrongs, and
sliming them the remedy ? No such thing—he pre
tends to serve them by telling them, what the legisla•
ture has done for them, which they lesro grate soon enough
from other quarters. He sets to work to explain Acts of
Parliament for their regulation. Not a word as to whether
the Acts are worth explaining; not a word as to the mit-
chief of those which injure them—lant an wcasional
bition of the rules and orders which they a re to obey with'
out question or enquiry! This is the way in which be re-
pays his obligation to the labouring classes:: This is the

cease to oppress them. They will not then be in want of

-soy protection.

The Spanish official account of the sortie from Cadiz on
the 16th, referred to in as extract of a letter In another of
leer columns, gives a very different idea of the affair than II

die ga-
rbled and contradictory statements of the French.—
general reconnoissance of the French line was made by
. .
, 'yews' parties, who attacked with the utmost bravery, and
retired in the beet order, when their object was answered.
▪ •The lesson received by the French on that °Cession, ac•

cants for their quiet behaviour before Cadiz since that
period. Corunna has not yet been attacked ; and it is now
confessed by the French that even the siege of Pampelana

cannot be formerly undertaken without an additional force.
Nothing is wanting to the Spanish cause, but a little per
severance; and nojwithstanding all the contrary reports,
we see nothing but a determination' to persevete on the
part of the Cortes. The French hare trumped up an idle
story of some fighting in the streets of Cadiz. They mast
wait for this, until they get there.

The New Times has made another attack on the Spanish
Bonds, which have reached ; a price far beyond what
the New Times thinks them worth, " even if the Royal
" Government were to recognize the loan." In this we
agree with the writer, we think they would net be worth half
as much if the King were restored: and the rise is, no
doubt, occasioned by the diminished probability of that
event, on account of tbc gallant resistance of Corunna,
Cadiz, and other places where the blessing of an absolute
King is despised. When it was rumoured that Corunna
bad fallen, the Spanish Bonds fell, because it was more
probable that the " Royal Government" might plague
Spain again ; —and it is certain that a despotism neither
could, nor would attempt to keep any faith with the bonJ-
holders! while it is equally certain that with an economi-
cal Republican Government, there would be no difficulty
whatever in making geed all demands upon the State. The
treasuryof Spain is poor enough ; but the resources of the
nation are but little impaired beyond what a f••w years of
tranquillity, under a good system, would restore. Our
treasury, on the coittrary,is rich enough—hut the national
resources are only to be traced in their anticipation in the
Bank books.

The " Irish Insurrection Act" which renders a man

liable to be transported for being out of his own house

after sunset, is, of course, a great favorite pith the New
Times; and the Editor of that respectahle print is quite
angry that it should be found any fault with. There
bars been recently some thirty trials, and only fire con-
victions under it ; a proof that it is employed in the most
wanton and barbarous manner against the peace of indi'
vidnals ; And converted into an endless means of irritating
the feelings of the peasantry. The remark that it was so
mischievous, has offended our renegade ; and lie quotes
the Killteasy Moderator to prove, not the benefit of the
Insurrection Act, but that there:are in Ireland men as basely
sycophantic to authority as hi mit If. The Kilkeany Modera-
tor talksofthe"sanguinary violence of the rural population,"
being as suppressed by the Insurrection Act. What a vile sarcasm
upon the English liovern.nent of Ireland is this! If the
rural population of Ireland is sangoillarY, what hat made
it so? Is it the coaseqmeace of English misrule; and is

arbitrary power the necessary remedy for the evils of op-
pression? If the Irked, of the English Government a•lnsis
this, we may venture to remark that its enemies can libel it
no longer. And we may further add, that if Ireland cannot
sow be maintained in subjection, without an Insurrection
Act, that it will not much longer be restrained by that
means; and we do not see with what jtrAice Ireland can be
subjected to the most galling tyranny, merely to furnish
patronage to a Minister; fazes to a Government, from
which it derives nothing but injury; or tythes to a church,
without bang benefitted by the creed it teaches.

We have received an intimation that we were wrong in
oar strictures the other day, on the conduct of the Magic
trate in ordering an attorney out of Court. Our position

was,not that an attorney had any peculiar right to be there,

bat that a magistrate had no right to lure any one out of
an oiled wort If an attorney attempted to interfere with•
outright, it is the magistrate's business not to say " turn

that fellow out ;"—but to desire him to conduct himself as
mother spectator. No magistrate has a right to close the
deers of as open court. If any circumstances arise that
require private examination, it is the duty of the magis-
trate to retire into a private room ; and not to turn the pub-
lic out of the public Court. We are somewhat sceptical,
as to the necessity of any private examinations. We ne-
ver bear of the Chancellor's private room, without dislike,
bat we prefer it to his clearing the Court of Chancery.
