never were redeemed. He returned from Bath; be
returned to that woman's table, to her bosom, to her
bed, and to her heart—he returned to reside and fat-
ten once more in her house. His creditors at this
time became so pressing that he determined on
toiug. for a short period, to the Continent, deem-
ing the trip would be an agreeable relaxation.
Ile could not with safety wait fur Mrs. AVNa-
mare, who remained behind, but proceeded at
once to France He stopped at Dieppe, from
whence he corresponded with Mrs. M`Namara. I may'
well call her so, Gentlemen, as he did. The first of
his !eters from Dieppe is dated the 20th July, ISI3.
It commences, " My dear Harrlott," and contains the
following passages:—(3lr. Wallace here read from
the lotto) lam very uneasy at not having heard
from you. I hare had a very unpleasant dream last
night. If you loved me as I love you, you would
write more regularly. I have taken the cottage, as
you said you liked it, and am sorry you have not let
No. 32, (meaning her house) ; there are so many Eng-
lish here I fear London will be deserted; give my
love to Ilarriett and Caroline.—Adien, dear Harriett,
ever, user, affectionately piles,
ItICIIARD M4NAMARA.

P.S.—Packets arrive here even• Tuesday, Thurs-
day, and Saturday, so that you may write every Alma-
day, Wednesday, and Friday.
His next letter, Gentlemen, it dated the 29th of
.Isily; we find the fistlowing passages in this ; it scents
evidently written in a bad temper. " 31y dear Har-
riett. I ant awkwardly situated here,
1 am surprised to hear that you have heard that I
have hems seen walking with a woman—believe nie, I
am as true to you as you are to use. I find it neces-
sary to hire a bed, and am tired of this hasty hole of a
town; some gentlemen are here front Brighton, they
hare bronght their wives with them. 1 cannot say
how much I envy them their happiness. Your un-
happy but faithful Richard \i•Na.tara." The Lady
went to Dieppe shortly afterwards at the solicitation
of her supposed husband, and returned in eonsequence
of the illness of her daughter. 31r. 31'Natnara this
time went to balge at Westminster, and having some
of her property entrusted to his care, he abused the
confidence reposed in him, anti pawned her plate; this
teas the gentlemanly, kind, honourable conduct of !
the defendant. Ile ,4ubseirtently gave np the dupli-
rates to her servant and the intercourse continued :
aorrow, however, soon found its way into the heart at I
the delay of that ceremony whiels should sanctify their
union. The defctulaut's regiment was at this time
ordered for Ireland; and nun•, I;enileutett, he sheaved
the first aymptoin of compunction fur his rundsiet to-
wards this woman : he did one act fur which 1 hommr
him. On the 211th of I ktobrr, 1315, he was engaged
in packing up his Int,•eagr to follow his regiment,
which hail sailed fur Ireland, and as lie was sitting
with that unfortunate woman, he suddenly called for
his writing desk, and wrote the following document.
(Here Mr. Wallace produced the document, and read
as folloa s)--" This is to certify, that 1 will nia:ry
Harriett Coils, at a fartire periods avid if I fail to do
AO, will pay her the sent of five thousand pounds : and
if I marry or cohabit with any tithe• woman, 1 Will
pay her that penalty." lie then threw himself on his
knees, and pret.ented Mrs. Cuila with the paper, to
which hr had affixed his cause. She hit happy at
this ; not at the security which the paper gave her,
but at the aftection it evinced ;—hr felt as man
usually does when he has performed a meritorious ac-
tiu:s—thry embraced, nothing could exceed the feli-
city of that hour; he recollects, however, that the
paper is not witness...?, and rings for her servant to
witness ; that servant is a subscribing nitness to it,
and shall bur produced in Court. This doesiment,
Gentlemen, takes from the defendant the power to
deny the promise; it is in itself proofof the promise;
but it proves much snore ; it proves, that up to that
moment, her character was unsullied, and her con-
duet exemplary; it proves that after three rars and •
a half intimacy with her, he found nothing in her '
conduct which would render it unbelitting in a Gen-
tleman to make her his wife. 1 do not intend any
satire on matrimony, Gentlemen, when I ask, " how
few ate the instances in married life of those who
would renew their bonds were they at liberty, after
havin.r been married three years and a half i 1 du
bell 'ye there are many whom nothing could induce to
break their bonds, but cloying of taste, lassitude
alone, would induce number". At this time, Gentle-
men, the defendant was free, except as far as honour
bound bias ; be had also a full knowledge of the tem-
per, habits, and manners of the lady, and lie sits
down and renews his .promise of marriage after a
lapse of three years and a half ; hut this document
proves yet more, it proves the pre-existence of that
promise. Gentlemen, if he thought lightly of her in '
1911, would lie in 1515, after he had used a' woman
for three years and a half, would lie voluntarily have
given that.paper ? with the lowest possible opinion
which I could have of him, Tdo not suppose that be
would think of tlisgracing himself by an union with
a common strumpet. The plaintiff and defendant
parted in the most affectionate manner; he sailed for
Ireland, and in six days after wrote to her from Dub-
lin. 'lite letter is dateti '36th of Oct. and is full of
the effusions of that love which dictated the imitate:it
1 have just read ; his various letters were still ad- ,
dressed to her as Mrs. 31',Xamara. About this time
she heard lie bad acted foolishly with a woman at
Fermov, and deemed it prudent to set out from Lon-
don fur his quarters in Ireland ; whilst considering
how she should act, a Major Hawker, an old Gentle-
man, sail a friend of the defendant's, called ; she
mentioned the circumstance to him, and, acting under
Isis advice, set out for Ireland.
[We are compelled, says Carrirk's alsriebsi Pest,
to puttpune the conclusion of Mr. Wallace's very able
Statement until tomorrow. The Court adjourned
until this day at a quarter past six o'clock, when the
cross-examination of the first witness, called on th•
part of the plaintiff, had nut terminated.]
[I'L'ItTUER ACCOCKTII RECEIVED THIS MIT.]

In this extraordinary case Mr. WALL4III continued
his address on Satin Jay, and read another letter from
the defendant to the plaintiff. Soon after that which was
the last which the Learned Counsel said admired and,
indication .nf feeling, the plaintiff wrote another
in a different style. The plaintiff, it appeared, was

then pressing bis suit elsewhere, add bu since married
the lady he was then addressing.
After Mr. Wallace had finished his speech be called
Caroline Exton, who hail long lived in the service
of Mrs. Coils, to substantiate the facts alleged. This
witness was ems...examined very ably by Mr. Grady
during the remainder of the day. On Monday
the cross-examination was resumed, and con -
tinned at snitch length. When it was finished,
Mr. Grady addressed his Lordship and the
Jury fur nearly three hours with his accus-
tomed good humour, which kept the Court in
continued t oars of laughter till near seven
o'clock, when the Court again adjourned. On
Tuesday the case was once more resumed, and at half-
past three in the afternoon the Jury returned a ver-
dict=—Damages 201101., and sixpence costs.
(The further particulars of the case we must post-
pone till Monday.)

CO.WIO.Y 11.-I LL.

Pursuant to a requisition, numerously signed, a Com-
mon Hall was assembled yesterday, to take into consi-
deration the propriety of congratulating her Majesty on
her recent triumph over her powerful enemies, iu the
rejection of the Bill of Pains and Penalties by the
House of Lords, and the conduct of the late Lord
Mayor as connected with the rights and privileges of
the city.
The Meeting was rather thinly attended. At a
quarter past one o'clock, the hord.Mayer, accompanied
by Mr. Alderman Wood, and the two Sheriffs entered
the Hall, and took the Chair amidst acclamation..

The usual proclamation having been made, the con-
eluding wnrils of which, " Coo save the King," were
. I followed by loud cries of " and the Queen."
. I The Leiu Marna came forward, and commenced the
object of the Meeting. lie hoped that it would not be
I considered invidious in him to have acceded to a Cont-
i Dion I tall, for the consideration of the latter subject coo-
-1 mined tin the requisition, as in doing so, lie telt only a
fdesire to give effect to the rifat which the Liverymen
undlonbtedly possessed of inquiring into the conduct of
! all their public olfices.--(Applause.)
IThe Requisition having been read,
' Mr. Coares caddie forward, and was received with ap-
planse. Ile commenced by expressing his satisfaction at
being the first person who addressed the first meeting of
i the Livery called by the present Lord Mayor. There
were other reasons too, why he congratulated both him-
! self and the Meeting. The last time they assembled in
that Hall, to present an Address to her Majesty, they'!
I were surronntleil by military force. At present they •
I were surrounded by the hest affections, the most devoted
confidence, and the most ardent patriotism of their fel-
low-citizens.—(Applause.)—ln being the first to stand
forward to propose the Address to her Majesty, lie was I
aware that he became responsible for the task which de-
volved upon him. He felt too his own demerits, when
couipared to those patriotic men who had so frequently
addressed the Livery from those boards. Ile had nothing
to recommend him to the notice of the Meeting but the
sincerity of his views and the ardour of his patriotism.
Of the propriety of presenting an Address to her Majesty
no one would have the hardihood to dispute. If it had
been necessary to present an Address to his late Majesty,
on his escape from a blow aimed at him by a miserable
maniac, how much more did it become them to pteseut an
_Wrens to her Majesty, when a blow was alotbd at
the life and honour of the Queeu.—(Applause.)—
Not, indeed, by any insane individual, but by the means
of hired Italian witnesses and spies, directed by in-
' trigue, and receivin their impetus from a corrupt and
disgraceful faction applause]. They had every reason
/v
to congratulate her 6 ajesty on her escape from the vilest
and most diabolical plot that ever blackened the annals
! of history in any country. Tbry were aware that it was
usual to present Addresses of Congratulation when aoy
thing occurred to the Royal Family, and the citizens of
London were second to no persons in the country in
loyalty and affection to the Throne [applause.] 'The
I Worthy gentleman, after alluding to the happiness eri-
, ginally anticipated from the union of her Majesty and
the King, and contrasting it with the treatment she re-
ceived shortly after her marriage, proceeded to enume-
rate the various plots by which she had been surrounded
since that period. When her Majesty was declared in-
• uocent when Princess of Wales, the citizens of London
' were the first to address and manifest their attachment
• to her Royal Highness. If that was the case then, why
not address her Slajesty on her escape—her miraculous
escape, he would call it, from the late plot ? It was im-
i possible not to perceive that it was the high birth and
i higher destinies of her Majesty which subjected her to
' such continued persecution. It was impossible to de-
scribe her Majesty in more appropriate language than
that of a Ministerial scribe, Vie Courier, who a few
days ago said, that from " Her high birth and higher
destinies, she was marked out as a pattern for her sex,
as the pride and glory of her sex, and the treasure of
this her adopted country." Yet, notwithstanding that
high birth, the shoes in which she west to the altar
were scarcely worn out, when she was deprived of the
protection and support of that man who had sworn at
the altar to love and cherish her (applause). She was
deserted, because the Prince of Wales could not controul
his inclinations; she had led a life of persecution with-
out parallel ; she had been pursued by hired spies and
harpies, who thirsted for her blood, and were anxious to
destroy her honour. She was not only driven from her
home. but her beloved daughter was torn front her em-
braces; nay, in the extremity of that daughter's pains,
she was deprived of the consolation and support of her
mother (applause). He went on to say, that even if the
Rill of Pains and Penalties had passed the Lo-rls and the
Commons, nay more, if it had received the Royal Assent,
his opinion of the Queen's innocence would remain
unaltered. After allusions to the manner in which cer-
-1 tain loyal addresses were got up in the Ward of Cheap
and other places, he observed that those Addresses
charged the body of the people with disloyalty. Fortu-
'lately, the Monarch himself vindicated the people from
this malicious slander ; for in his answers to Abe Ad-
dresses from Portsmouth and the Isle of Wig.lit, as well
as in that to the Address of the Seven Aldermen, his
Majesty declares his conviction that the people of Eng-
land are actuated by feelings of equal loyalty, and pm,-
sessrd of equal good sense. After a variety of other re-
marks, the worthy gentleman alluded to the shameful
manner in which his Majesty was caricatured through-
out
the different shops. In one shop, not one hundred
miles from that spot, be had seen his Majesty represent-
ed in a most disgusting manner, eating a beef-steak
with his cooks in his kitchen at Itrighton.—(A laugh.)
But the most singular part of she case was, that those
caricatures were not only sold, bat printed and pub-
Halted by a gentleman whose name appeared to the
Loyal Address lately got up in the Ward of Cheap,
(A.laoglt, and cries of "yon mean Mr. Tegg of Cheap.
side.")—Mr. Coates concluded by reading the Remit'.
Botts, for which ass advertisement.

MT. COATIS then proposed on Address to her Majesty,
which he read.
Mr. Walnaluoroow scowled it is a start speech, la
"bleb be ealogiseet the character sad nowise of her ,
Ma , aid said that Ist* triumph ought mot so to ab-
sorb all their footings as' dist they • should not allow 1,

themselves to declare their sense of the mischieroas sad outrageons conduct of the Ministers.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN came forward amidst Ism
applause,. lle did not address the Alerting thee se
that very important gnestion, which had underrate,
snnrh disrussion both at public meetings and by des
press. His object was to put the country on its Kurd
against the experiments that were now waking, ble de.
aerations of loyalty--exclusire loyalty, at once to de.
toile the people and mislead the King. That expertmebt
was put in practice, too, for the purpose of perfectly,*
the existence of a degraded and infamous Alinistre !arta.
Lions to which they were wholly unfit, against the d.
cided voice of the whole people of England., nee
were not new tricks. With the experience of twieit.
five years' public exertion, he had often witnessed dint
recurrt lice. It was part of the Alinisterial tactic, Am
their own crimes were exposed to public s kw, to lama
rouud with the hope of alarming the timid and eet„,.
ping the unwary, and proclaim that sedition was 4.
tending., and that disaffection had pervaded the gent
body of the people. That was • gross ileoeption,asi
be alluded to it, in order to warn youuger num who
had not, perhaps, seen the effects of such deletion%
from being led away from their duty. Indeed a newt.
tempt was introduced in the Ward of Cheap, bv actin
npon a principle, that the majority had the power to pre.
vent the minority even front the right of discussioa—
(Hear, hear'.).—Aosl these were the men who had at
least one hundred times couiplaitted of ColLtuon
because they said they could only get there an traps.
feet hearing. These Loyal Addresses, he apprelsesk
ventured to state that which tiny knetr to be fa‘.
(Hear. hear !).—1 fdisarectl in hail made sti eh rapid strides
—if sedition was so extensteely spread, won't, not these
men be the very first, from a !MUSE of safety and pradmee,
to conceal their opinion uf its increast? It nal beats,
they knew that there was no disaffection, but uvulas.
satisfaction—that there was no disloyalty to the Throw,
but much disloyalty to as execrated Ministry—that these
loyal declarers wade a false lomat viten on the steady
and constitutional loyalty of thepeople—(Applause!)—.
That disaffection prevailed through every part of the
country, that the people felt many grievaeces, was most
true ;an i those men were the firmest friends of the Mo.
narchy, who took the most proper meths to expose the
real rate of the country to the King.

The Message of the PauSIDSNT of America fur
which %se had anxiously looked for the last two days,
reached us this forenoon. This document, which
from the frankn. ss characteristic of a tiovernment
reeponsible for its proceedings to the people,
was expected to contain a full developement of the
condition and relations of the country, as well as of
the plan• and resources of its administration, hail ex- ,
cited in America very lively curiosity. It is, as was anti-
cipated, perspicuous in all its statements ; and exhibits
views of the public affairs in that interesting country,
very far from discouraging. It dues not, however,
present any extraordinary fftture; and is noticed by
the politicians of the United States as omitting several
subjects that are highly interesting at this ntotnent to
the people of that country, such as the Manufactures
of America, the Tariff, the Missouri, and the Bank-
rupt Svstent. In reference to the difficulties in which
America had been involved, the Paestursz traces'
them to the extended war which had commenced in
Europe ; and as to the differences that had more re-
cently taken place between the United States and
Spain, respecting Florida, he respresents them still in
such a state as that nothing explicit could be commu-
nicated, though it was expected to re-establish the
relations by accommodation, on an amicable anti
permanent basis. The restraints resorted to by the
Cnited States relative to their commerce with the
&kith Colonies are represented as satisfactory, not
*sly as being prompted merely by a spirit of defence,
but as advancing in a spirit of amity between the parties.
la the commercial relations between the United States
and France, the negociation which had been com-
menced in Europe to establish regulations on the prin-
ciple of reciprocity was about to be transferred to
America, for which purpose the French Minister
might be soon expected at Washington ; and relative
to the embarrassments that had arisen from the con-
test between Stain and her colonies, the President
observe., that it has been the uniform policy of the
government of the rtitt-il States to promote by friendly
councils that adjustment which he infers from circum-
stances twist finally take place between them, on the
basis t.repnseil by the Colonies. In looking into
the internal concerns of the country, mach satisfac-
tion is afforded by the proofs which the President
gives of the extent of the resources, and of the effi-
ciency of the linvernmeet. On the 30th of September,
1415, the public debt might be estimated at more
than one blinder', and fifty eight millions ofdollars ; and
nu the 30th of September, • 1420, it did not amount to
ninety-two millions, having been reduced in that inter-
val more than sixty. si x millions eight hand red thousand
dialers. During this term, not only the expenses of every
'branch of the tiovernment had been defrayed, but the
public edifices of Washington had been rebuilt, exten-
sive fortifications hail been commenced, and warlike
stores of every kind had been replenished. What a con-
trast does this representation present to the view which
we are doomed to witness, of the squandered resources of
our once flourishing and now exhausted country !

By the papers which have come to hand since the ar-
rival of the President's Message, we learn that though
the state of Missour. was omitted to be mentioned in
that document, its interests had not been neglected.
Oa the 14th November we find among the proceedings
of the Senate that the President communicated to that
body a ropy of the Constitution as adapted for t twOovern-
meta of the State of Missouri, which was read; where-
upon it was resolved, that a Committee be adopted to
inquire whether any, and if any, what legislative mea-
sure was necessary for admitting the State of Mis-
soar' into the Union.

'I he Senate that day adjourned at 12 o'clock, to
await the organization of the House of Representa-
tiv, 1, and met again ; but finding the House of Re-
prc•entatives had not then elected a Speaker, adjourn.
ed till next day.
From the report of the proceedings in the House of
Repose datives, we learn, that no leu than nineteen
attempts bad been made to elect a Speaker, and had
failed. The occasion of these repeated failures is,
that 67 votes are, by the Constitution, necessary for
the choice of a Speaker ; and of the five Candidates
proposed, the highest in the ballots of which we have
received an accoo.nt, bad not obtained the requisite
number.
