Did any one offer you the loan of a cloak ?—I beam
there Was one who offered that.
When you marched off from the ground to go to Ore
Barracks, were you at the head of your sletaehaneut or
party ?—Witness. The party marched off irreirakirly ;
I was sometimes at the head, and sometimes in the rear.
Then, you cannot swear that the Trumpeter was not
occasionally alongside of you?—Witness. I do not think
he was alongside of use once, as far as I can recollect..
After having remained many hours on the ground, 1 was
tired, and took very little notice of any thing.
Did yciu, during that march, hear a cry from the mob
of " there go the two Piccadilly butchers ?"—Witness.
I heard a general try, what it was Ido not know. -
By the :I.
OITIOHII.--1 was present on the 21st, at • the
inspection of the troop. They were in the same uniform
and on the same horses as on the 14th ; I had no cloak
on on that day.
By a Juror.--4 was in Cemberland-street atter the
procession hail gone up Edgeware-road in the latter
part of the (lay ; I do not know at what hour, it was,
after the funeral passed. Ido not recollect whether it'
was within one hour after the faneral passed. I was
not relieved from duty ; I was dismissed *bent two
hours and it half after the procession passed I 1 was not
with my party in Cumberland-street; I went there to'
speak with Capt. Oakes;. I can positively swear that I
was not int 'timberland-street with my party, and the trims-'
peter beside me. To the best bf my recollection I had
etk.
.no conversation with a trumpeter, either of Captain
Oalies's party of soy own in Cumberland-strtet. I believe
some of my men were returned wounded in the sur-
geon's report, hot I saw one wounded; sod -.the halal
of another beaten in. One horse had Isis threat Cut; I.
did not see it, but I was informed of it when I:return
home. I mean that the horse was cat, in the throat, not.
that Isi., throat winstast. I might be 20 minutes; more
or less, at Cumberland-gate, . before the procession
came. We (lid not exactly make a charge upon
the people, but the soldiers rode at the people
to clear the streets, after having been heavily. as-,i
sailed with brickbats atiltvarious missiles; and after
some of the soldiers had remonstrated with the people,
and requested them to desist. I did not hear of any in-
dividuals being cut down or %founded by the soldiers;,
I should not know Sir Robert Baker if I now saw him;
I do not know whether the Riot Act was read ;I did not•
hear it ; I cannot tell who commanded the soldiers to
lire ; when Captain Oake's detachment arrived at Cum.
berland-gate. and if lie bad given the word of collimated
to fire, I should not have heard it, I was too far a as-
lance; about ten minutes before the procession tame
up, I regaled the men with beer; a pint of porter each,
could not, I apprehend, have ninth effect upon thesis ; I
saw the soldiers firing in the air, but I could not dis-
tinguish any particular individual.
The Jurors animadverted upon Lieutenant Ileties'iJ
laughing, observing, that his levity was very pus-',
coining.
The witness denied it, but several Jurymen insisted
that be did.
The. Coroner observed, that the witness did grail*.
but it was when it was desired to pet down the answer,
that the Pistol% were fired in the air. .
Witnesss resumed—l saw no man killed ; 1 have sons
a person of the name of Humbert since the 14th of
August.
Upon being asked whether any conversation took..
place between him and tinasbert about what tmak.4ll4
about the 14th of August, . t'
Mr. ADOLPHUS opposed the question as irregnlove.
maintaining that the .question should be whether the
witness used such or such %Cords to Humbert ?. . • •. .1
The Coroner concurred in this opinion. conceivingl
that a specific question should be put. Yet while the
witness was at liberty to recollect that it was not to
answer any question to criminate himself, he was quite
at liberty to answer the Juryman's question if he thought
proper.
Juryman—What transpired in your conversation
with Humbert?—Witness. I epoke to him about the
abase he gave to my men. Mr. Humbert mentioned
the ill-usage the men had met with, and I asked him
-whether any man had been killed. He said he saw a
man carried past upon people's shoulders. but that be,
did not know whether the man was dead or. not. I
cannot recollect all he said.. This conversation took
place either the second or third day after the inquest.
Mr. Humbert, I have a confcsed recollection, hut.l do.
not remember that he did not say that the man was'
dead ; to the best of my recollection, be did say thet
I was the person suspected to have killed him.
.1
think that, on the. 14th, some time after the profes-
sion passed, and all was over, I was sitting at ease,
some people came up, and insulted the soldiers in all
tinnier of ways; I believe one of them said s' that's
he who killed the man ;" I 'think there 'was' one per
son who said he-should know Me.again ; he murufreil.
some words to himself,. and pointing at ire said, Ws*
be should know me spin; no friend said tome, " I
wish you well through it ;" two ,fripiaiS came -op tip

that myself and my men were in considerable danger.
Rlakie said, that there were some witnesses in
.attendance, who say that they could identify the person
, who shot Honey, Allll that i hey Wkliell very much to. see
the witness. Mr. H. suggested, in conclusion, that it
might be advisable to WI, I the witness away under a
proper escort; this from what he heard of the feeling in
the street, he felt it his duty to state.
Witness.—Oh yes, certainly, let them see, I have no
objection.
Mr. Anni.rnuts observed, that these witnesses had al-
ready had an opportunity of inspection, and therefore he
opposed this proposition, arguing from analogy the luta-
Asure was inadmissible. After the suggestion of Mr.
' Rlakie, which was certainly creditable to ban, he sub.
'flitted that the proposed exhibition of Lieut. Gore was
not to be listened to, whatever the Lieutenant's own
feelings might be;. hnt to accede to this proposition
would be to eatablisle a most dangerous precedent.
The Coroner concurred with Mr. Adolphus. How,
said he, could colt have brought Lieut. Gore here as a
!witness, if not a soldier ? l'irhy. then ;nail yourself of
his attendance to do hint any injury, or to subject him
to any inconvenience ?
Lieutenant lore observed upon the remark of one of
the Jury, that be WAS smiling., or acting with levity or
disrespect on such an .occasion. Übe had behaved ill
hr ,•:«uttill wake 'au apology ; but having
behaved, he hoped, with correeteess, and he appealed to
the rest of the Jury upon the 'abject, be submitted that
it was crael to cast such a reflection upon the conducts of
a young Hiatt, as this Journal; had thought proper upon
a person in his situation to throw out.

Paris papers to the 30th instant hare arrived this
morning.—They contain an article confirming the
account of what took place respecting M. Strogonoff's
imperative demand of passports. It is believed that
the concessions of the I'urtc have been effected prin-
cipally at the Instance of the English and other Am-
bassadors at that Court. It is also evident from the
conduct of M. Strogonoff, that the Rnssian Cabinet
wanly ao means desirous of inch a result to the ne-
-
goctations between Russia and the Porte, and nothing.
whatever but the fear of a rupture with some of the
Allied Powers will induce it to adhere to pacific mea-
sures. At Odessa, up to the 4th inst. the prevalent
[ opinion was that a war would be inevitable. • The
Ottoman troops occupying Moldavia and Wallachia,
' had already concentrated themselves, and the Russians
were ready to pass the Pruth and offer battle.

Extract of a letter from Boston, 23th July
long expected statue of Washington has at length
arrived in the Columbus, Commodore Bainbridge;
who put into this port on the 22d inst., accompanied
by the brig Spark, in 46 days from Gibraltar, frail
whence they sailed on the 6th ult. It is supposed
that the despatches received from France, brought by
the brig Olive, will have an important effect on the
negotiation at Washington fora commercial u-
rangement. The accounts from France express I
strung desire of the merchants there to he restored to
a free intercourse with the' United States.

2.—The Andromache frigate, Captain 'Sherif, is Ike:

board ; also Lady Cochrane as passenger. No newi

.An Antwerp paper contains an extract froM
rate letter from Madrid, of 12th August, in which it
is stated, that the King had signified to the permanent
Consmissinners of the Cortes, that hi should not con-
firm the Decree of the 28th June, relative to the debt
due to Holland, • because he considered- it not equit%
able; that he feared also, in case it were carried into
exceution, it would give a.severe blow to paidiii ere;
die; which cannot be recovered from the lamentable
state iu which it now is, eicept by a ;mama fulfil.'
ment of obligations which. were contracted in good
faith. His Majesty, it is further stated, has likewise •
announced, that he shall charge his Minister of
Fi-
nance to propose, in the approacLing Session of the
Cortes, a new plan for tht payment of this debt, obi.cl
would be more conformable to equity, and more he".

treated him: After this, they repaired to the Cannon brew-

on such Wanton conduct, they behaved ill to her; and •
if 'inch were general behaviour, such the protection
