He replied : " I have very little to say. My abilities will not allow me to speak. If Mr. Kd war as had notgdt acquainted with me f should not be here ; he came to me, unfortunately, when I had no business, nor no means of getting a living for my family.

In undertaking to kiil LordCajtlereagh and Lord Sidmouth and their fellow ministers, he did not expect to save his life—he was determin¬ ed to die a martyr in his country's cause, and to avenge the innocent blood shed at Manchester. In conclusion he sard he was willing to suPer for the acts which he had contem¬ plated ; but it grieve*! him to think that he was to suffer for a crime of which he was innocent, namely, high treason. On these grounds he protested against the verdict of the jury as contrary to law and justice.'* The prisoner spoke with great vehe¬ mence, arid used throughout the most in¬ flammatory language. Richard Tidd, was the next called up¬ on. He fpoke as follows ; u My Lords ar.d Gentlemen, being only found guilty fo late Ia&c night* I have not had an oppor¬ tunity to mate up any defence.

I am sorry I have not the power, gentle¬ men, to say more ; I shall therefore withdraw." John Thomas Brunt was next called Tjpon, and spoke as follows;—"My Lords and Gentlemen. I am precluded from saying much : I had intended to Jiave committed to writing my defence, but I have been denied pen, ink, and pa¬ per—as such, what [ have to state will be very short. In the first place, what¬ ever impression I made on the jury yes¬ terday was knocked down by the Soli¬ citor General, who appears to me, by ids sophistical eloquence, to be capable of making the worst of crimes appear a vir¬ tue.

(Here the pnioner was overcome by his feelings ) At six o'clock I met C- Cooper, who was the only man I knew, and I borrowed a halfpenny of him, which, with another, enabled me to get a pennyworth of bread, and this I eat very fwcet. I wun I may never come out of this place, if I tell falfe. We then went into the stable and up srairs, where there was fome bread and chee'fe. I took an old sword and hewed down the lo:if, of which others who were as hungry as me partook. I then asked what all theft arms were a- bout, and when I heard, I was so fiioekcd that I was determined to get away as fast as 1 could. Soon alter the officers and foidiers came, and I thought it my duty to furrender. I now stand here convicted of high treafon, after 1 fcrved my king and country for 12 years, and this is the recom- penfe. Oh, God ' — I have nothing more to fay," Here the prifoner stood back in an ago ny of tears. He is a Scotchman, and fpoke with hU native accent. His manner altogether was extremely impressive, and his language feemed to be that of sim P Ic truth. Charles Cooper said he had much to fay, but his friends thought it would be impru¬ dent. He could onlv declare that he was not guilty of the cvime imputed to him. Gilchrist ngain came forward, and feid he was very willing to give up his life, if it could favc that of a fellow-creature.

The prisoner then went ou in a strain of strong invective Against the witness Adams.—After which lie referred to the two Monuments.— These two persons had been described by the Solicitor General as having had 1:0 commuincr.tion with each other, and yet having agreed in all respects in their testimony. Was this the fact ?

This th-jfe very perfous upon whom they had contemplated the foul crime of affafiina- tion. One of them, Arthur Thntlcwood, bad upon his trial propnfed to call certain witnefses, whom the court refused to hear. This refusal was according to the due courfe of juftice, as ft was admtnillered in this country. The witneftes whom he propofed to call, were for the purpofe of impugning the te&fimo ny of a man of the name of Dwyer, and no other. His learn¬ ed counfel had previously called witnefs. es to the fameeu'edl. It conld not be al¬ lowed to him, according to the ordinary ccurfe of proceeding to do more. Indeed even if he had been allowed so to do, it could have been produ&ive of no advan- chaiacter of his apprentice Hale, and was casting strong reflections on his con¬ duct—when The Chief Justice said, he could not suffer such obr-crvations to be made uuder Such circumstances.' Brunt begged pardan, but s;(id he sta¬ ted nothing but facts.

Some of them bad thought fit to *c.y much or the charafter of a perfon who bad not appear¬ ed as a witnefs upon this occafion. The court could proceed only upon the evi¬ dence which was brought before it. Of the perfon, therefore, to whom they allude, or of the pradice of which he had been fuilty, they could have no knowledge. Jpon the testimony, however, which had been adduced against them, there wn:» abundantly fufficient to induce a jury of their country to com* to a conclusion that the whole of them had taken an a&fvc rart in the crimes imputed in the indict- * * ftocat, From all tha* b%d appeared in the coutfe of thcii c.;a]f) c3 wcjj as frQ3i mw&h of that which th%y h^ then heard, it was plain to fee, thaT tjjcy q1cj not embark in their wicked des^ng urtjl ihey had full' fuilered their mit:{js t0 be corrupted and. inflamed by thoL fcchtious and irreligious publications, wit^which,unhappily for this country, the preload but too long teem¬ ed.

When the noble Lord recom¬ mended America as a preferable pl<».ce for emigrants to refort to, he apprehended he was not ware of the representations which had been received fom that qua:-ter. In America the greatest diftrefa at prefent prevailed, and the manufactures cf that country were in as '^nguilhing a (late as thofe of our own. To fend the deftitute to that quarter would be, therefore, only to fhift the fcene of iiftrefs, and to trans¬ port them to poverty on a foreign fliore.

The carriages continued to arrive throughout the day ; at many periods they came in fuch rapid fuccWltou, that the whole, from the Horfe Gua:d» to Weftininfter Abbey, became blocked to¬ gether in a double row, and many perfon- ages of diflin£tion quitted their carriages, and proceeded on foot to the doors ofad- mrffjou; The ladies were fplendidly at¬ tired, chiefly in white fatifl drefTes, richly trimmed with lace ; the head drtfles were of the fame elegant and collly materials, with pearl clafps, and Surmounted by rich plumes of white feathers, which produced a graceful and dignified effect.

We mentioned yeflerday, on the author¬ ity of private letters from Mauchefter, that there had been a confiderable improvement there In the demand for goods and cotton yarns. The JofephinOS, or adherents of Jofeph Buonaparte in Spain, who conilitutcd nine- tenths of thofe Spaniards, that were ban- ifred on account of their political opin¬ ions, conceiving that they were included in the indulgence extended to the politic¬ al eriles in the King's proclamation, has¬ tened to return to their country ; but no fooner had they paged the frontiers, than General Mena, Governor of Navarre, cau- fed them to be arretted, and communica¬ ted the circurnflance to the authorities in Madrid, requiring to know whether fuch perfons were included in the fpirit of the indulgence. To this application it was replied, th3t thofe who fupported the in- trufive government having been banifhed by order of the Cortes, they muft await a decifion of the fame afTembly to author- ife their return. Orders have therefore been transmitted to the frontiers to pro¬ hibit their entrance into Spain.
