seaman led it through the atteets with a small rope,
and the children streaked it titer the back without

Mr. FRANCIS *asouT, the Upholder, not
having tho fear of tootrattfition and conviction
before his ryes, has loutishly committed himself
by the publication of tke following address to the
people of England. Little does this worthy Up-
holder foresee into what au ocean of embarrass-
ment his advisers have thes incautiously, 'unne-
cessarily, and obtrusively plunged him.—The
very first notice of this " Address" is by an
Advertisement from Sir R. PHILLIPS, positively
denying. his ever having seen, or held any comm.
nication with Col. IVAtiOLE at the period alluded
to, from which, as Sir RICIIARD very justly ob.
serves, it is impossible that he could be a party
with him in the negociation with Mr. Waionv.
This, however, is a mere trifle, and scarcely
worthy of notice in the exquisite display, which
will he very ohortly made, of the general veracity
of this worthy:Upholder.

It is with heartfelt sorrow,and the absolute necessity I feel
So viadkate my character, as likewise that of my Brother,
which obliges me, althougit releetenly.t hub publicly to address
you. Every kooess man mat feel as I do, the importance of a
good character, and I tun rend to say, it Dever was impeach-
ed Until my comectine with Col. Wardle. I hope the follow-
lug remarks and oatmeal of facts, will iii a great degree re-
move the sad stigma, sad odious calumny, of having obtained
a verdict in the. Cavort of Kiog's Bench, by Pylori alone,
which Col. Wardle declares, before his God and his Country,
was the ease, the partkulars of n bleb are ;Arcady b-faire
the public ; it is necessary, therefore, for sue to pledge my-
self, before say find and my Coustry. that there shell be no-
thimg lige stated, but what are farts, and the truth ealy. It
la a rano of great 'Mont.!, 'rent to me.that Col. IVardle could
ever suffer himself to be iodated to pain* etch a ras:i decla-
rable, ands. obsolete libel against my brother, who waste),
icons, whoa it was impossible Colonel Wardle could for-
get being at my house several times, and the great pains he
to is the choke and selection of the furniture for Mrs.
Claire's home. and in several instances overruled Mrs.
Clarke's aphslou: it was from a severe accident which cre-
ased me to my bed; I say it was a matter of accident that

bovesion of Mai. Clarke's evidence relative to Colonel
Wardle !wing even his orders and instruction abort the
fartaiwg of Mss. Clarke's lerae. because there is Mt
isisertas ant et twenty, but that I take the orders myself,
sod have all the eamenation, more especially as this was a
business which required so morb secrecy. But in about 14 days
ellerwaids, I rento-A ny statues, and then waited npon
Carmel Wardle myself, and came to an explanation, and
'a l) IledenlialidiUg its ham upon the subject. Col.
Wardle :moot have furgotten our first interview, and my
introdoetion to him, by Mrs. Clarke, at her house, which I
believe was on the 11th day of l/reember, DIOS. If
Colonel W sidle has f 'ma nor conversation on that day,
I will rammer to remind him. I was assisting my work-
people. la the moo where Mrs. Clarke was sitting. When
Mr. Wardle came la, Mrs. Clarke Fit i this is Mr. Wright
himself; it was his brother, ILintel 'aV right, that yet haft.
hitleoseilleeft!lin !• p ties to. Colonel Wardle asked me how
I did; and if I had almost got the better of my moiler*. I
thanked the Colonel, and related to him a few of the cir-
eunistamees of my accident--the coovenatioa turned to the
admiration of the sideboard. &e. I apolotited by saying,
was very sorry I happened to be confined at the time tlu't
be hod ao speres! me by ealliug at my house. Re replied it
was of on consequence, as be bad given iny brother Daniel
full instructions about the furnishing of Mrs. Clarke's
house. Mrs. Clarke said, Mr. Wright has been espect-
ing to hear Prom you, respecting the bill you promised
his brother you would send him. I told the Colonel the
reason why I was so particularly digressed fair want of
of money at that time; the Odom., c‘imiuisserated with me,
and replied, " perhaps it may be ucergary for you and me
•
to undergisad each other."—" You know," said the Colonel,
" I ha.,. even your brother orders to furnish this house for
Mrs. Clarke—that 1 bare taken upon tosser to see you
paid; and that 1 mean to pat soon hiiiionrably and busiesfly
bat," he added, " let it be understood between you and me,
that I cuses mesa to pay the Duke of York's debt (which I
had previously understood the Cnlonel meant to do, and the.
the bill he was sin ut ta give one was for that purpose), but
the bill for .itMl. I am going to give new, i. in part paysneut
for the furniture you are wading into this bun,;. IMt a
good deal disappointed at this explanation, but bowed ani
assented. The Calomel, coatinaiug the comrersation, said,
" Mr. Wright. I will tell you a hat I will do; I will put
you into a way to recoser the Du'...e of York's debt, and
that to a certainty; for I know two or three tradesmen es-
way in your sittation, who commenced actions ;taxing the
Duke of York. oati have recovered their demands. and I
mare no doubt bet you will get your money if you follow my
advice; and if you should fail. which kma sure is impossi-
ble. I will take epos myself to pay your expellees. This
cower:mina in a degree again cheered my spirits; I re-
qurxed of Colonel Wardle to name a day when I might de-
pend upon receiving the bill he had been to kind as to pro-
, wise me. The Colonel replied, addressing himself to Mrs.
Clarke, " I believe we have nothing particular to do to-
morrow to prevent me teeing about it" (meacilag the follow-
ing day). After considering a little time, the Colonel said,
" there is some little diMealty about giving this bill, Mr.
Wright, because the business which is coming on before the
Ursse of Cosamous, which no doubt yea have heard of,
snakes it a very delicate matter for me to put my own bead
to paper, becalm it may frustrate our purpose:" the
Colonel continued, " I will go (lowa to Sir Richard
Phillips to-morrow morning, and he and some sae else
wilt give you their bill, witbout my money appearing,
nod you may depend on hearing from me its the after-
glow, or Next day morning without fail." Ou this we
parted ; I then applied myself, and made every possible
dispatch in getting the articles finished for Mrs. Clarke's
house. From the manner of Col. Wardle's behaviour, and
the liberality of his giving hi. orders, I never suppo*d that
the Colonel would owsider the white-washer's bill, for (lean-
ing the' Inside of the house, and the painter's bill for painting
the outside, *Mid have bees objected to, as the Colonel
'hewed every disposition at that time, thht Mr. Clarke's

hie its porrible ; in short, no Ilmiratlon was triieldered neces-
sary. Some days elapsed before I heard from the Colonel ;
at length a Mr. Glennie called upon me with a letter be bad
received from Cal. Wardle, which letter be gas e mew read ;
the purport of it expressed very warm terms of frienchl:ip

gentleman, and that whatever the Colonel engaged to do,

Glennie I had no manner of doubt of Cotuael Wardle's ►o-
nour as a gealleasaa, but that be had proisaired tee 1 sher!d
have a hill for 50,.11. stithout fail, and that I had s. made
I my arrangements that I could ant possibly do without it ;
therefore, I begged Mr. Clencie to teU the Colonel
mold not do without it, and the bill I must have.—
Mt. Glenole here observed, he thought the house Mrs.
Clarke had taken was mach larger than she had arca-
sive for, and was fearful sbe was a very extravagant wo-
mita, and would run his friend Colonel Wardle to a very
great expense, and begged of me nest to intruder' to Mrs.
Clarke eapeosive liwniture, ns he thought it quite en-
oecessary. A few days afterwards, which was sto the
2dth of December, 190 N, a Mr. Illingworth, of Pall-Mall,
called its me, and said two friend, of his had desired him to I
call on me, and give me his acceptance for 5001. 1 told Mr.
Illiagworth 1 bad been expecting him, or some oste.frose
in. friends, the fortnight pa.t, but vim glad to see him new.
Mr. I. observed. " I morose yon know who I anode to
teat sent me here?"—" I how very well," I replied,
" Colonel Wardle and Major Dodd ; I saw them both yes-
' terday." I then proceeded sad drew the bill, which Mr. ll-
liugevorth accepted, dated January 2, 1809, at three moods,
value five hundred pound•, and gave hint a stamped receipt
for the mine. I then felt perfectly entl.fied in my mind that
all was right, and Persevered in finishing the furniture for
Mts. Clarke's house. In the course of the Investigation 1
was very unemv in case I should have been examired, or any
question asked me in the iluase of Curer ; I felt.

with as match precaution as possible, or II sigh• have ob-
jecied to becoming enswentble to other tradesmen for paint-
ing; pleisterlog. &c. Bat from the necessity of keeping the
business a proi..ntai secret, and oat of respect to Colonel
Wardle. net doubting hie honour, I enengesi tnystif to dis-
rharge these bilk. Owing to some mistake or mismanage-
ment. the abuse bill was not paid on the day is become
dle, which occasioned me to wait on Coined Wardle; but
not seeing hi:n, I called on Major Dodd, andatquainted him
with the circumstsece of the bill having been returned to

told me he bed himself carried 2501. to Mr. Illingworth,

pressed his astonishment that the bill Wft. ...4 July honoured .

thew• gentlemen her! i: in their power to explain to the Jury
the preceding fact-, which lam sure would have proved very
satisfactory to the Court, and ►emoved the doubts which re-
mained, and likewise would have saved Mr. Serjeant Best
the trouble of stating to the Jury that his firm belief was,
that the 5001. bill was a fab-ication altogether, and lieu be
hclieved there never es: ', ' •tc L n :;i11; but the Ledge thostelt
it necessary to caut.o% •.:se Jury from pot belief, rl4 it si 104
make sill the Mildew to Colortel Wardle. Much Joe,.
has been laid, and many observations made about my inter-
log ti e furniture; it is no uncommon ease for the upholsterer
to receive orders to inure furniture immediately after the.
house is fsraistsed, because he is supposed to be best acquaint-
ed with the amount of the value ; but when the polities are
made out in the name of the party it belongs to, which was
tie case in this Moaner, the upholsterer is by no means inte-
rested in so doing; the policy fat the insurance of the house
and funtitore was taken out at the Westminster Fire Dike,
on the 31st of March, 1809, and likewise another for wear-
ing apparel, jewels, &c.—l can have no pretence to solicit
the pubiic t.i suspend their judgment in this can, beaten
bare no doubt but that Isalready doec ; but I sincerely hope
an oppixtanity w ill be afforded to convince the public, and
all Colonel Wardk's friends, as well as my own, that there
has been no perjury in this case, nor ever any intended.

The zealous Dean Sea ant, of Bristol, in con-
sequence of the decided proofs he has so fre.
qua ntly given of his attachment to the Church of
Englanai, it is understood, will be shortly ad-
vanced to a Bishopric. His abhorrence of Po-
pery is such, that he is anxious to afford a still
more direct evidence of his zeal, by accepting the
most arduous and important situation his interest
can proem for him. It st as this learned Divioe
who held forth on the public hustings in Bristol (at
the last candid appeal to the people), exh.oling
them to save the Church anal the Ministry, and to
preserve the Gospel and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer from losing their respective places. It
was he also, who, in July, 1807, preached •an
attack upon the Roman Catholics at the S7nod of
Canterbury, and distinguished himself by the in-
trepid manner in which he renewed disproved
charges, and ret iced exploded opinions. He seems
to have understood, in a very profitable sense, the
connexion between Church and State, and to have
comprehended the reciprocal services which Mi-
nisters in both dopartments are bound to perform
fur each other.

Of this cause, about which the hirelings of the
Robbers have mide so much anise, the following
Rt•port, extracted from a provincial 'Paper, of
considerable and welllnserited celebrity, the ga-
liaburrend Winchester Jo/relit, appears to eon-
tain.an impartial and dispassionate account :--.-
44 TM. was au action for assault and false irapri-
sohosent, in which the damages were laid at 1,0001.
The'Plaintiff, William Burgess, sued in furrow
pairperis; Mr. Burrough was assigned him as
Counsel, and was assisted by Mr. Gaselee; (he
latter of wham haviog oprued the plasdiags, Mr.
Burrough observed, that Mr. Cobbett was pro-
bably well knowo to the'Jury ; and from his po-
litical Writings they must hare learnt that be was
a strenuous advocate fur the liberty-of the :übjcet.
The Plaintiff, a poor man, had however to cu ii..
plain that Mr. Cubbett had violated this liberty in
his person, and fur tits enjoins:rider our haply
Constitution, he sought redress of a Jury of his
countrymen. Jesse ess, a younger brother of
the Plani tiff, had lived servant with Mr. Cobbett; he
had absconded fru= his service; stiff in eanisequence
of this, Williaui Burgess, the Plaintiff, had, with his
mother, been taken into custody by Aslet and
Dubber, the constable and tythingman of Batley,
acting under the directiuu of Mr. Cobbett, had
been conveyed to Southampton, there kept to a late
hour, and, after much abusive Isopage, left to
get home as they could. The learned Counsel
trusted that the Jury. l!!, their verdict, would
te,l,:i the Insfew:a?, i fiIIIM tee Appreciate hereafter
the liberty of an Englishman.
" Betty Burgess, the first witswe tailed. stated
that in December last leer son 'nose wont to lire
'servant with Mr. Gobbet; in Marsh he canto
home, and was taken up by AA tt, from whom ho
afterwards ran away. She ea her sun William
dollel
had guile with him to Batley, as they were on
their road home, they were vertaken by Alert
and Dubber, who after much abusive laoguage
took them into custody ; they were aftertsards
joined by Mr. Cobbett, in his gig, who dir-rted
them to go to the house of Mr. Smith, French-
street, Southaa.ploo, where he would meet themes
they were accordingly conveyed there, Mr. Cob-
bete met them, directed Aslatt to detain them, and
at a late hour at night said they might go about.
thy'r beakless, provided they produced the buy
(Jesse Burgess) on Monday. Thu whole was
trausacted by Mr. Cubbeit's direction, as was
avowed by Ailett and Dabber, the other defend-
ants.—This evidence was cuutirmed by different
witnesses.

" Mr. JEKYLL made an admirable speech fur
the Defendant, who had, he observed, been goaded
by the ingratitude of the boy, Jesse Burgess, to
whom Mrs. Cobbe‘t, only two days before be ab-
scomied from his swim., had given a 11. note to
her him el.;ii.hs. Under an insprestien that the
neutucr au;! Wolter !.1 I abetted Aim in his al can-
tina, he had, by an ef.i.or. ;71 judgment, caused
than to b Wis. into eeStedi , ; curdy a Bri-
tish Jury would nut think th.it aut., su a. .t merited
heavy damaKuk, for the Plaintiff had icaly suf.
fered but little inconvenience.

6 4 Mr. Justice Ltwacics having summed
the Jury retired for about two miwtttes, and re.. .
turned with a verdict fut. the Plaintiff, damages

consequences must have been fatal, as the chande.
