Daniel 1111111terran.—Saw Boyd thi evening es %J4w-
billy fair, wills two sticks sad a pair of tongs ; saw hint
about ten minutes before in the street, and he had no-
thing in his hands. Believes he beard him say, he could

Cross-exaniined.—floyd was about two perches from

You ; and then cried out, you pack of cowardly rascal.,
1 could heat the best of you then three or four of them
came back, and Boyd struck our of them with the tongs,
and knocked him flown.

ross-examineil.—Was standing in Mr. Young's house;
Boyd struck first ; knows he got abuse after.
The Learned .lunar, in his charge to the Jury,
(which he delivered with even more than his accus-
tomed energy and eloquence, and during the delivery of
which be appeared much affected,) recapitulated the
I evidence with his tonal accuracy an.. attention ; and
during which, lie took °erasion to animadvert very se-
verely on the disgraceful and abominable feuds, which
agitate the country under the pretence of a difference in
religious opinion.; and, thengh the Legislature had
made a triding difference in some political points, there
was not the slightest distinction in religious oases. The
Protestant. Catholic, and Presbyterian, were equal
in the eye of the law ; and whether she Protestant,
under floe name of an Orangeuian, or the l'atholir, as a
Ribbonman, committed a breach of the peace, or at-
tempted to irritate his neighbour by any allusion to his
religion, the-heavy hand of the law should be dealt in
equal incase& to each : and his Lordship farther stated,
that armed bodies of any description, with or without
insignia, no• matter by what name they choose to de-
signate themselves, who abused any individnal of any
offer party,doit account of a difference in their religions
oplidon,iveloPosenspletely out of the pale of the raw, and
eestainly came under the provisions of the White-lioy.
Act. His Lordship also took a religions view of the
distinction el(parties, both professing themselves to be
disciples of Visas Christ, when, by their conduct to-
wards each Other, they showed themselves completely
destitute of every principle which emanated from the
Divine Being, who gave name to the religion they all
professed ; and all those who acted upon such principles
were denying their Saviour in fact, and were of all
others the worst enemies of the country. His Lordship
concluded his charge, by stating to the Jury, that, in
his opinion, there was sufficient evidence before them
to go to both indictments ; but, after the extensive re-
capitulation, he did not think it necesssary to trouble
them any farther ; and the Jury immediately returned&
verdict of Onilry upon both indictments.
The Learned JUDO., in passing sentence on the pri-
meets, stated, that he wished to impress upon their
minds, that the law was equally administered to all,
and that every man who attempted to form an associa-
tion for the purpose of injuring or insulting another,
on account of his religions opinions, should be punished
severely • and that, whether Catholic or Protestant, who
professed to believe in the Christian religion, and fol-
lowed such practices, they were transgressing its funda-
mental principles ; and had it been a party of Protest-
ants, who assembled in a similar manner, to the ter-
ror of any of his Majesty's snhjects, tile., should hare
been visited with the owe rigour; and that the oppo-
site party bad no eameion to make this any matter of
Waugh ; fur had they ensiled the prisoners in the same
moaner. either by appearing armed, or insultinZ them

lon account of religion, they too . inevitably Immo/
the same punishment.
His Lordship then passed sentence on the mimetic Nbe earl' imprisoned twelve mouths, and to I,r to.,

TVESIM EVENING, MARCH IS, ISi .

We have this morning receked the Paris parer.

of SW*.
on Friday the Chamber of Peers assembleil. 3114 pro-
reeled to the discussion of the law relative to indivi-
u,: rbeety. lit the twenty-seven orators inscribed to
:,•oe, or defend the law, six were heard in the sitting
Wednesday, anal right in the present one. Before
two last, who spoke upon the subject, had delivered
• e;f sentiments, the dosing of the discussion was de-
:Andell. This, however, was opposed, and a division

The debates accordingly continued an
loor longer, and were then adjourned till next day.
In the 1-11 amber of Deputies an interesting debate
took place on the law regarding the censorship of the
press. Several Members having opposed anal defended
;he am , AL Pasquier proceeded to address the
Clabber—" Those," said he, " condemn this pro-
jrct rontinuslly bring to your recollection the days of
l;stl; they hoin. for .111 insurrection like the one which
Polk place then; but ur mus: be on our guard afainst
their laachinat:ons. They deceive themselves if they
imagine that France is about to nitro-3, a repetition of
tte scene., of 1 Jam. France has had the experience of

soldiers ale the nuo,t fatal of any to liberty. The
beauitl t tuior and the I tsthli:,,,r,ai,e still lives
tle recollection of all. 11 movement, indeed,

in Wien place is Spain : it hag been effected by

tie tenor ; but if Freedom, Iv Lik yet in its in-
kerb do nut abridge the pourr of the soldiers if
ttne disorders arc prolonged, the repose, the happiness,
t',e liberty of the Spaniards, will soon cease to exist.
They will fall unacr the yoke of tuEtary despotism,
Ike the French under Ponaparte, the English under
rronswell, and the Romans under the Ceesars. Never
did Roman liberty flourish under the shade of the Prze•
lonian camps. But the moments of rielttion are past ;
roe French people knour what they owe to the King ;
he loves, and is beloved hy, his people ; and never can
his rights be endaagiied by laws presented, discitssed,
and voted upon according to the legal forms."
General Foy succeeded 31. Pasvptier, he wished to
we a new law proposed, which, while it retained
tke verdict of a Jury, might repress, or render inure
Jill:nit, the improper designs of the journals. Hot
convinced that an impritnattir was contrary to the Char-
ter, sad to the spirit of the Constitutional Government,
and umeessary in the present state of public tranquil-
/try. he would cute tigainst the projet
ne closing of the debates was now loudly called fur,
and agreed to, reserving to the Reporter the power of
speaking seat day.—Adjourned till Saturday.
