.that a considerable quality of goer, timber was
gloating lo all directions near the wreck when they
boarded her, also the loog, boat, full of water, with
the name "'Thos. Watson" within the stern. The
bottom of a ship answering to the above wreck vas
towed on shore here yesterday evening. As no dd.

GENERAL MONTGOMERY.
The American Papers contain en account of the
removal of General Montgomery's remains, from
their obscure grsvtin Canada, to receive monumen•
tal honours from Ms adopted countrymen. Generall
Montgomery was a native of Ireland, born near Lift,
ford, coenty of Donegal, in the year 1740, of one,
of the most respectable families in that coentry.—
His elder brother, Aleaander Montgomery, enjoyed
the paternal estate, and was Representative In Par.
lisment for the county of Donegal for many years.—
The late General entered early in life in the British
• service as Captain of infantry, and served with dia-
. tinguishod credit during the war which ended in
' 1763. He then resigned his commission, and devoted
all the energies of his mind and person to the service
of his adopted country—America.

conformity with this conviction. To es
.other respects be will not treat this Country 1
as 1,1111 British Ministry in its supreme wisdom ecaf
direct, would be silly in the 'stream. This is the'
condition on which he has been promoted to the
ieltreation be now holds;, and, although it is cer-
talnly ,optional. with him to resign his place,
should be feel any repegoance to abide by his
instrectiona, it* highly improbable, that a Gen-
tlest% up* by hese lastituted in the Pitt Sys-

Wilda, liter since he knew the value of a salary,
aid the maim of obtitluitytit,. should display such
transcendent magnheith., slots!' ;petrel with his
employers, about thi treatsent of this country.
However, we are not disposed to indulge in unfa-
vourable anticipations of his conduct, end we repeat
it here, once more, that perhaps a better Irish Secre-
tary could not be hoped for, from the Junto that is
now in power. It will be time enough to speak of
his Administration, when Ate Public shall hive been
favoured with some specimens of it; and in the °M-
eet, we promise him that, his movements shall be all
vigilantly attended to, and all his public acts scruti-
nized with rigour, bet with inpartiolity.
It is impossible, eevertheless, to resist the tempts.
tion, which such an occasion es this presents, for of-
fering a few reflections en the deplorable state of this
country, as it is now circumstanced. We are not
only entirely in the power of a Foreign Parliament,
, that knows absolutely nothing about this miserable
dependaucy --w hether it be considered, with reference
to its soil, resources, agriculture, manufactures, cepa.
Millie', population, manners, customs, character of
' the People, or any thief; else, whatever, but its care,
and in a word, its whole Government is vested in the
bands of a Foreign Gentleman, called a Secretary, who
.ctere to enjoy a lucrative place, at the espence of
pie, and to acquires relish for arbitrary power
# conducting the affairs of five or six millions of the
.pnfortonate Irish at his sole awl paramount discretion.
'This is really, in our opinion, the worst species of
4,lomtry to which any devoted country was ever doomed.
Ifeez the People having any share in governing
t Ives, no one pretends to speak of so gross an
absurdity—they are in effect as completely excluded
from such a natural exercise of their rights as the
serfs of his Majesty the Emperor of All the Russian,
or the Moors at the disposal of his Most Noble
Excellency the Viceroy, or, in other words, the
Dey of Algiers. The People of Ireland have not
even the advantages of the inhabitants of the purest
despotisms ; for in these latter countries there may
be each • thing as national glory combined with
slavery that gilds its chains, and by dazzling the
fancy half reconciles the bondsman to his thraldom
—in these wretched nations too, the persons who
absinthe power which accident or treachery soy bare
conferred on them, are always,- it may he said, na.
tires of the countries which they oppress, and have
some feelings in common with the victims of their.
tyranny. But in Ireland all these things, that al.
leviate if they do not remove the sufferings of the en.
slaved, are without an .4'l'Bh:rice. We do not in.
deed assert, that this errantry is in a worse state thee'
many nations in which arbitrary power and nothing
else is established. Such a declaration would beliefl
our conviction of the contrary ; bet, we iesistt•eliat
although there are circumstances which give oar
countrymen some advantages above the inhabitants of
downright absolute Monarchies; there are others
which degrade them below any race of beings in the
civilized world ' • and to one or two of these we have
already alluded. What, for instance,
.can be
more revolting to common sense, than that
ell which can interest the Irish, as wen, should
hes-subjected to an individual, (such as oar Chief
IlejleteltrieS usually are,) who comes here, not only'
ate of any knowledge whatever respecting any,
that concerns Ireland ; trot whose very first es.,
oe the defies of his office must Emily all his pre.,
jails' against the Country and the People/ In fine,
It if impossible that be can do otherwise en such 011,11
occasion, their make comparisons to our disedvanters.

the capital that, by its rapid home circulation, should
keep them emplo3red, is sent out of the country to ac.
Mende thsiadast.ey of England; because poverty and
want, and toffee itig, have sank them in despondency,
and paralyzed exertion ; and because the time that

Jocose. Resolits however are all that strike his ob-
servation, and in every instance he knows nothing of
the thousand ire i sistible meset that, as In the above

sequences.
It is thus that Ireland is premised by men who can

Mr. William Butcher, a cutler and Ironmeager at
Epsom, remembered selling • knife like the one
(clasp knife) shown him ; he did not recollect Os.:1
born purchasing a knife at his shop; was in the habit
of selling knives with the same maker's name upon
them as upon the one produced.
Mary Ann Hoar, sister-in-law to the Prisoner
Osborn, though she hod seen a knife resembling the
clasp knife (covered with blood) in Osborn', band;
tens could not say it was his knife, or .would she
swear it was not; she had been informed that a knife
bad been found near Cos's deed body ; if she was
certain the knife was Osborn', she would say se,
Irithoot considering the consequence to him.
The Prisoner Osborn then stated, that he would
answer every thing that hid been alleged against him
in evidence in the most satisfactory manner. Ile slept
at home Saturday on night, and was :earned in the
imatoing, as was his wife, by the report of fire-amts,
about five o'clock. The circumstance of the report
was not much noticed either by him or his wife, they
toeing in the habit of hearing guns fired off by persons
shooting. When he was seen at his cottage door at
six, be had just, come demo stairs, and had never
left the cottage. The gee found in his heels was
the property of a Gentleman of the neighbourhood
(Mr. Doherty), who we; at present from home, and
.who had placed a large quantity of linen under his
'care during his absence, and had left him the gun to
protect the property if occasion required. As to the
cut and bruises on his face and forehead, they, were.
occhioned by a fall from an apple-train by} own
garden ;Ate was willing to strip, and it the braises
were caused by a scuffle or fight, there would swum*
be some marks of violence on his person besides the
beelseeelioded to. He then stripped, and was esamined
by Mr. Meyd, the surgeon, who stated that no marks
were apparent on his body that indicated he had been
in a scuffle; the marks on his forehead he thought
had, from their appearance, been occasioned es de-
scribed by the Prisoner.
William Tanner deposed, that he lodged at
Osborn's father's house; on Sunday morning, be-
tween sis and seven, he saw the Prisoner Osborn in
his garden. Osbore's cottage is not mere than fifty
yards front Crockingbas Corner, where Cog was
murdered.
J. Saunders, servant to Mr. Northey, for whom
Osborn also works, had seen him use a knife some.
what similar in appearance to the knife covered with
blood found at Crockingham Corner; hut cannot say
positively that the knife produced is the same.—
Within a few days he observed that Osborn bad used
a pruning knife like the one in question, bet on Mon-
day he used a long knife to cat the strawberries for
the first time. Witness bad observed the bruises on
Osborn's forehead, they were not there on Saturday
night. Osborn came to work, as usual, on Monday ;
but witness thought be appeared very shy, and seemed
to avoid him.
Thomas Arnold, on being called open to give en
'cement of himself from Saturday night to sis o'clock
on Sunday morning, when he was seen at Epsom,
stated that he left the house of Halliday about eight
o'clock on Saturday night, and at that time intends/4
.to go to his mother's, at asnatead, and sleep, bet
meeting with some companions, be drank until he
.was intoxicated, and then he went to a stack 4 oats,
and slept there all night. He did not know what
time on Sunday morning it was when.be awoke, but
the son was up very high ; be went immediately into
Epsom to Halliday's house, and he then found it was
pie o'clock; he afterwards went to • his brother's
residence to breakfast. The stack of oats is about a
quarter of a mile from the }pot where the murder was
committed. He never made use of any words about
shooting hares, as bad been attributed to him. 11,
had been employed as a reaper by Mr. Hell, of t.
som, for stow time. This Prisoner (Thomas
nold) was asked by the Magistrates to state energies,
slept on Friday night ; he refused to answer the queer,
tion, stating that wherever be might have slept Jib
