yesterday judge Washington charged the
jury decidedly in favor of the defendant. We
understand him TO have gone so far as to say,
in substance, that the Indictment could not

and provided, did not reach the case of the
defendant. The jury after being out few

FROM CORUNNA.

On Sunday last arrived at Marblehead
the schooner Saratoga, Captain Tucker, 46
days from Corunna. She had been at Gil
Jon, but left that place on the approach of
the French, who had taken possession of it.
Business was exceedingly dull at Corunna.
where only 3 dollars could be obtained for
hsh. The American property in Bilboa,
st. Sebastians. &c. still remained in a state
OF sequestration, in the hands of the French.
We are informed there is not less than 200.
600 dollars worth of property, belonging to
.Marblehead, now in that situation Capt,
Warner and crew (whose vessel and cargo
were seized at Bilboa by the French) were
thrown into prison, where they were kept
20 days; after which they were by great
favor released. Capt. Warner writes from
Bilboa to his owner in Marblehead, under
date of Feb. 2, as follows
Nothing OF consequence has TRANSFERRED

the fate OF your property here, which re-
mains in the same situation as when last

Spaniards, the moment is arrived when
you can listen with advantage to the truths
Which am about to utter. Thinking per.
sons we'll know, that for more than O centu-
z ry the force of circumstances, which mas
tors all events. determined that Spain should
be the friend and ally of France. When an
extraordinary Revolution hurled from the
throne the House that reigned in France, j;
was the duty of the Spanish branch to sup
port it, and not tolay down its arms until i,
was re-estabiished, to preserve itself from
the same fate. It required spirit of hero
ism to adopt such resolution.--It was
Thought betterto wait for that, from the pro-
Bress OF time, to obtain which by arms, cou-
rage was wanting. The Cabinet of Mad.
rld disclosed its intentions in arming against
france, when it perceived her engaged in a
remote war. The victory of Jena confound-
ed Its projects 1t yalnly endeavored TO re-
turn to its system of Discrimination, and to re.
sumo the spirit of the negotiations of Basic.
The conqueror of Europe would not allow
himself 70 be duped The Princes of the
Blouse OF Spain, not having the courage to
night, renowned the Crown, and were con-
tent to make stipulations for their private
Interests. The Spanish Grandees. the Cen
erals, the Chiefs of the nation, recognized
these truths. received their oaths at Ma
orlu but the occurrence at Baylen threw
every thing into confusion. The timid be
came alarmed. but the enlightened and con-.
scientious remained true to me.
"A new continental war, and the assistance
OF England, prolonged an unequal contest, of
which the nation feels all the HORRORS
