JUDGE SEBASTIAN.

The glass house Of this UerE hgnora-
bic Judge Of the court Of appeals, is
now for the happiness Of the citizens
of Kentucky, broken ii pieces.
W. mentioned in the supplement to
the last Western World, the motion
which was made for an inquiry into his
conduct, AID that a committee was ap-
pointed for that purpose.
The committee met yesterday. In
the forenoon of the day, letter was
received by the speaker of the legisla-
ture from Judge Sebastian, informing
the house that conscious of his inno-
cence' he had fastened to town to meet
any charges which might be preferred
against him, but at the same tim@ pray
ed that the inquiry into his conduct
might be postponed until he had sufli-
Gent time to procure evidence TO rebut
any charges which might ~ allcdgtd.
Mr.. John Allen alone supported the
request Of the Judge, but Mr. Grundv,
General Hopkins, Mr.. Pope and Col.
Ewing spoke in opposition and wished
the enquiry 10 proceed. Their argu-
ments W shall give at le. q 4 in our
next. The ayes and noes W>rc taken
and Mr.. Allen We believe was the only
voice to be distinguished in favor OF the
request of Judge Sebastian.
The committee met about three IN

a letter was received by Air. Pope,
and read % the committee, from lis ex-
cellency Gov. Greenup, informing

careful to be absent from the house till the

Clay, iolned the Philadelphia mob, on the
18th OF November, to celebrate a festival
kept il consequence Of the ron-importation
act The had now voted in favour Of the
suspension the Inconsistency Of his conduct
would have stared him in the face, and lie
would besides have had 70 encounter the
resentment Of Duane, and tie whole host
of mlscreants, who having fled from Great
Britain and Ireland 70 avoid the halter, sill
harbour an incurable hostility against their
mother country. On the other hand, to re-
fuse voting IN favor vi the bill, would have
been most audacious contempt of his sove-
reign lord and master Nj. Jefferson. He
saved himself by fleeing the question.

most satisfactory proof was produced OF
his honorable Judge holding a tension
f3r life Of t7vo thousand dollars fer an
,una,. from the government Of Stain, e''-
hressiy .f5r personal service.
The impression made on all present.
by the discovery of this most nefarious
and unexampled dePravity, in one Of
our supreme Judges, is more easily
conceived than described. There
seemed to be an unanimous expression
Of a3horance depicted on the cOunte-
nance Of every member and spectator
against the man who, holding seat in
tae 6rst court Of his country, was base
enough to become the political pension
er Of foreign power.
