rite its this ink of the island. In the rebellious of
1714 abil 174 k the traitors, by a special• Act of 'Par-
liament, were tried in England, and theses*. of Watt
and Downie were the ably ones which had eccarredl
since the Union.
At the Union it was' Wieldy seen, afid declared, that
livitOzttailer the same l;overnment, It was necessary to'
,assimilate• the treason law- of Scotland with th:.t of
England, and this was done i)y the Act passed in the
reign of Queen Anne, •
Ilis Lordship observed. that the old Scots law of
treason was by no means well defined, and
sanguinary, and proceeded to expldin the !3d of ltd-
ward 111. and the Stith of his late Majesty, by which
the statute of Edward was enlarged. his Lordship
then drew a distinction between the cases of treason
and riot, and shooed the difference of the law of tree.
son and that of the common criminal law of Scotland
and concluded. by exhorting the ,eery on the ditty te
which they were called, and to take for their guide alit
evidence alone that should be laid before them.

The Brand Jury then retired, and the witu
he examined before them were worn in, some in t

English, and others in the Scuts form, baring dram

they preferred it.
The Brand Jury, after being upwards of three
absent, returned into Court, with true hills age t.
houias 111‘CuHoch, Andrew Ilar.lie, Benjamin Moir,
Allan Murchie, Alexantbr Latimer, Alexander Jukli
stun, Andrew White. David Thomson, James Wright,
William Clarkson, thorium Pink, Robert (fray, James 1
Clelland, Alexander Bart, John Baird, John Batt,
William Smith, and Thomas M•Parlane.
After a little delay, the prisoners were hr night
down from the Castle under a ntilitary guard, and
placed at the bar. Baird entered first, handcuffed;
the others followed him, linked together. The Lied
President informed them that true bills bad hefts
found against thew for high treason, and that Counsel
trunkl be assigned to them ; and, upon being asked.to
name their Counsel, they unanimously gave in the
Harm,. of J. P. Grant, M. P., Francis Jeffrey, and John
Clerk, F,sqrs.4 and, failing in these, some of them
named J. A. 31 urray, Esq.
The Lono INICAIPENT then said, that they woad
be brought tip to be arraigned on the 6th of July
next, and that their trials would proceed on the 17th
of the same month, or probably sooner.
Adjourned until to-morrow at nine o'clock. •
The prisoners against whom hills hare been found
are those taken in arms on Bunnymuir.
ST,Ri.INU, Jt rut 24.—Thil. day the Lord, Currimis•
sioners met again at II o'clock in the morning. The
Brand Jury again retired, when hills of indictment
were pies rated to them against different persons from
Camelon, Balfron, and St. Niniatts, in this county.
Previous to retiring, the Hog. Beorge Alwreromby,
Foreman of the limed Jury, addressed the Lord Pre

Jury to request that he would allow his charge to

look for operations of rather a decisive character.

The threat, at lengtl , is put in train for execution,
the seal is opened, and the first vial is begun to be
poured forth. 'Vest •rday the Committee appointed by
the House of Lords, to ,aamine the papers relative to
thetasseen, assembled, and proceeded on their awful task.
Fn., the nature of the duty, and the precautions taken
to prevent disrlesure, the proceedings of the Committee
will continue till the close in inviolable secrecy, though

had retired to their

pied in swearing in a %est l-er of witorsig, to
be examined bawe them, and adjourned untirhree
o'clock. At that hoar the Court again met, when
nine of the prisoners having been brought and placen
at the bar, the Grand Jury came into Court, and re-
turned true bills against the whole. The lion. Fore-
man ruse rose and stated to the Court, that during
the painful investigatiou that had taken place before
them, it appeared to them that a certain person, whose
name it would then be improper to meatiest, was
deeply implicated in this ease, and against whom no
bill hail been preferred.
The Court, after consulting fur some time, ordered
the Wand Jury again to retire to their room, in order
that they might judge whether they would return a
bill against this person. After bring absent about
two hours, the Brand Joey returned a true-billagainst
a vermin of the name of John Johnstone, from Falkirk,
and he was immediately brought down from the Castle
and placed at the bar. Pres ious to this, bills of in-
dictment againrt three who were brought from the
!'astle were departed from, and they were sworn in by
the herd President as witnesses; the Lord President
observing, that all charges were by this passed from
against them.
His Lordship then severally informed the prisoners
that bills hail been found against them by the Grand
Jury for high treason, and that they were now at li-
' betty to say who they would wish nominated as their
Counsel and Agent. Some named Mr. Clerk, Mr.
Monerieff, and Mr. Cranstoun, but the majority named
Mr. Jeffrey and Mr. Cockburn, and lieorge Boymner,
writer in Stirling, as their agent; Dining*. *puts ,
were. however, named by the Court.
The prisoners were then removed from !lie bar, and
were Wormed that they would be arraigned on cr
about the 6th day of July neat.

Lordships will determine upon the
ulterior proceedino. During the sitting of the Com-
mittee yesterday, Messrs. liatwon Am and DEN MAN, her
M.intsTr's Counsel, attended, and sent iu a letter, the
c..ntents of which have of course become the subject of
lunch conjecture with the public. It is supposed by some,
to he of the nature of a protest ; andif of that descrip-
tion, could, after the decision of the House of Peers,
have been presented but as a matter of form. De it
what it may, it seews not to have obtained attention
from the Committee in the manner professed to be ex-
pected ; for the Learned lientlemen, after waiting a
considerable time, withdrew without receising any
reply.

Thus every day the interest of this important busi-
ncAs increases, end the responsibility of Ministers ang-
meats. The shift to which they have bad re-
course in throwing the burthen on the loose of
Lords, is to them the reverse of alleviation. If they
(,il in the sequel in sustaining the evidence, on
the belief of which the House was led to their deci-
Nion, and on the exhibition of which the Committee
will be led to their conclusion, their responsibility
will be of a nature toofearful (or vas to express. The whole
of their proceediugs, from the beginning to the present
period, and both at home and abroad, is of a character
which, unless the expediency be not rendered manifest
to all the world, mast involve them in ea odium whieh
Ii will be impossible to efface. In the begina:ng of
those proceedings aisroad, they resorted to the use of
means which noble usinds disdain, sad at' the precast
period they see employing a measure inconsistent with
the liberal spirit of the Coastinatioo, and at which the
hearts of finglishusen revolt.
In the present state of the public oda& all ether
kinds of public business are Mt comparatively of flails
interest, though we canoed bat *lsere* that, in the
Hesse of Commons, last night, a motion was broaght
forward, which is of speelej value and Magnitude
