The Times, 1824-11-12T00:00:00

A foul case of partiality ancd tyranny is reported in the Irish papers to have occurred at Belfast. A constable, who eintered an outward-bound vessel to seize a runawvay appren- tice, was asked by the princtpal person on boardl to show hiis autlhority for the captiou, w1hich, as every subject of the United Kingdom knows, it was his bounden duty to exhibit. Instead of this, he answered by daminig tO-e in- quirer, and presenting a cocked pistol c!ose to his breast, with a threat of lodging the contencs of it in his body. For this daring conduct, the injured individual went to lodge examinations agaaist the ruffian, but the Police Magistrate long hiesitate(d to receive them, andt at last omitted to take any bail from the constable. At the sessions, the person who ha(d lodgged the conmplaint found, to his extreme asto- nislhmenit, that witlhout thje slightest notice or preparation, he hi:nself, anid a friendi wlho had been with him at tle -timne, were to be tried for an assault ona the assailant. This, however, was but a brief affair; for on the cross-in(lictment being tried, they were at once aequittedl, and the offinding eonstable foundl guilty. The M\agistrates-the imierciful Mlagistrttes-fitied this person- age the heavy Su' of Gdl., and gave him his discharge. 'I'ilis was not all: wlhen the successful prosecutor, on the advice of his law-agent, attendled the above-mentioneed po- lice Mlagistrate to make an affidavit, on whichl to ground a presecution oftlie constable forperjury, his Worship refuised the gentleman's examinations, and the matter is to be brought before the Court of King's Bench. Verily, the purification of the minor caurts of jsostice is no sinecure for the (Government which lhas undertaken it.

EXECUTIO.M.-Thomas Lynch (alias Caby), convicted at the late assizes for the county of Waterford, ofi having robbed Anne Geoghegan (a servant at Carreghmorebhouse) of money and wearing apparel, on the 12th of April, at Crahane, was executed in front of the county gaol on Saturday last. He appeared firm, but resigned at tbe place of execution, aud addressed the crowd in a, very auible voice, solemnly dedlarin6 that he had no conceen what- cver in the murdler of the latc 1fr. Power, of Benvoy (of which re. port had accused hirR as the perpetrator); that he never was at Ben. voy in hi, life, and was even ignorant of where it is situated; and that he naver attempted, or intended to attempt, to take the life of any individual. He made nopublic observations with respect to the crnme for which be suffered; but we understard that previous to his being brought out, he admitted that he had committed the rob- bery,but asserted tha.t the only articles which he took from the prose. 1 cutrix were a piece of muslin (about seven yards), a bottle containing soune spirits, And the handkerchief in which they were tied. The respectable clergvman who mtended him, anxious to prevent his though's from being distracted by a variety of topics from the great concerns of eternity, dissuaded him from publicly speaking on this subject, and induced him to confine himself to the solemn disavowal of the other heinous crime attributed to him by common report.- WYateeford Chron*le.

Two mails arrived from Lishon on Saturday, bringing letters and papers to the l9tl ult. Nothing is yet commnu- nicated respecting the decisionl of the King of PoIRTu- GAL on the question of the independence of Brazil, althougha hopes are entertained that it has been favourably received by the Cabinet. Ve should apprehend, however, that from the dilatory character of the proceedings at this Court in general, there will elapse a long pcriotl before the wishes of the Brazilians are gratified, and tlle true policy of Portugal adopted. It was observedL, after the arrival at Lisbon of the result of the (leliberationis of the Cornmission wlicll had beent sitting io. London, that the little activity which had previously existed in the arsenals, the indication of an in- tentled armament against Brazil, wholly ceased. Indeed, the last accounts from Lisbaen lhave uniformly concurred in statinrg that-io serious intenition ever existed of carrying such an cnterprise into execution. It is said that the KINxx has written a letter to hiis son, the Emperor of BRA- ZIL, with conciliatory propositions, and that the trade between the two coni-ttries is reviving.

The foUowina is ah extract of a *leUtr, dated Port-au-. Prince, IMlay 1 " Business of every description is at a stand in consequence of the increasing rumours of an intended invasion from France. Thiis impression prevails througlhout Haydi from the President to the peasant, nor will any thing short of solemn assurance from the threateRin. quarter allay the ferment excited. The forts of the in- terior are strcngthened; ammunition and arms arc rapidly coUect- ing. Combustibles, for the destruction of this town in the event of a landing of French troops, are prepared, and every day produces fresh instances of determined preparation. The following preclama- tion has been issued by,the President:- " ' PROCLAMATION "'TO THE PEO?LE AND THE AlRtEy. "'Jean Pierre Boyer, President of Itayti. "W'hen apeople byceorts aSgloriousas honourablehaveachieved their independence, their most important dnity, after the establish- ment of a constitution, is to ferm institutions wbich may assure their political existence. Such has been the spirit which has never ceased to preside over the councils of Hayti since its memorable emanCipation. Enlightened by the lessons of experience, they now know that the true guarantee of social order and of public prosperi- ty can only be found under the supremacy of the law. " ' There are circumstances, however,in which the ' machiavelismn' of our enemies, seeking to foment troubles and divisions in the in- terior, may interrupt in some measure the course of events, in which, for the safety of the people, which is the supreme law, extra- ordinary measures ought to be promptly and vigorously adopted. The history of the world offers so many examples in support of this truth, that there is no person of good faith who is not thorough- ly convinced of it. "'TheGovernmentis therefore undertheimperious obligation,con- siderisg the political situation of Hayti with regard to its foreign re- lations, to prevent, by a prudent and firm solicitude, events which tend to compromise the general safety; and to order beforehand all that is needful to attain this end. "' Itis in consequence ordered as follows:_ " ' . It is most expressly forbidden, ini the name of the paiblic safety, to any authority whatever, whether civil or military, to cor- respond, under any circumstances, with the Governments wlhish may be at war with this republic, or with their agents, of whatever denomination they maybe.
