NO. 5164. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1848. VERY LATE FROM EUROPE, ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICAN STEAMSHIP UNITED STATES, IN TH Quickest Passage Aoross the At- | lantic to New York. FIVE DAYS LATER. Highly Interesting Intelligence. We. be, bts ‘The steamer United States, Captain Hackstaff, arrived early yesterday morning. We have receiv- ed advices by her from Havre five days later from Paris five days later and from England three days later than those brought by the Hibernia, which left Liverpool on the 8th inst. The United States eailed on the evening of the 12th inst. ‘The News Boy boarded the United States off Rockaway, 18 miles E. 8. E. of the Hook, fifteen minutes past seven o’clock. Captain Hackstaff stopped his vesselto give us our papers, and we thank him for this favor to our news collector. ‘The News Boy made the quickest run on record to the city. The United States brings one hundred and twelve passengers, and has a large and valuable cargo of five hundred tons of measurement goods. Paris remained perfectly quiescent, although vague rumors of intended outbreaks were still prevalent. The measures of General Cavaignac were very decisive—he declared that the siege should not be raised until tranquility was perfectly assured. Arrests of parties supposed to be impli- cated in the disturbances ot the 23d and 24th of June, were taking place daily, and the search for arms still continued. The num- ber of prisoners already in the power of the go- vernment was said to amount to 12,000 or 13,000, and the executive is much perplexed what to do with them. The idea of transporting the whole number was deemed impossible of accomplish- ‘ment, from the vast expense it would entail on the finances of the country. ‘The number of muskets already taken by the au- thorities is said to amount to 120,000. In consequence of the firm attitude of the go- vernment, mercantile matters in France appeared disposed to“improve. The funds had risen consi- derably, and the price on Saturday, at the close of the Bourse, had reached 514 francs for the Three per Cents, and 80 francs for the Five per Cents. General Duvivier died of Saturday, the Sth in- stant, from fever, occasioned by his wound. This 1s the sixth general dead frcm the effects of wounds received during the insurrection. The English Three per Cent Consols were quoted at about 87 at the close of business on Sa- turday the 8th inst. Business at the Havre Bourse had much impreved. Cotton had gone up, and a little more confidence was perceptible. The trial of Ernest Jones, the chartist agitator, took place on the 10th, in the Central Crnmunal Court, London. He, as well as Looney, was con- victed, and will probably be transported for seven years. ‘The Austrian government has issued a manifes- to declaring that every endeavor for making peace with Lombardy having proved abortive, it will now prosecute the war with the utmost vigor. An engagement was expected to take place in a few days between Radetzky and the Sardinian forces. It is feared King Charles Albert will be beaten, and in that case French intervention will be solicited. General Bedeau has consented to accept the portfolio of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Hverything indicates that the Government of france is about to merge into a military despo- tism. It is acknowledged by well informed Frenchmen, that this will pave the way for a re- gency, and it is looked for that Thiers, Odillon Barrot, and others, will shortly be called by Gene- ral Cavaignac to assist in his Council. royal visit was really in contemplation ; it would indeed be difficult t» tmagine such a step, in the present state of the Irish capital, and in the face | of the undisguised threats of insult towards the | Queen by the party whose open sedition has just led to the arrest of several of its leading members THE CHARTIST TRIALS AND CONVICTIONS. On Saturday, the 8th inst . an frish charcist, named Looney, was tried at the Old Bailey, for attending the Jate illegal meetings. The cbarge of creating a riot | was withdrawn frome the prisoner’s indictment. ‘The | proceedings were as follow:— | The Attorney General, Mr. Welsby, Mr Bodkin, | and Mr, Clarke were coungel for the prosecution, The prisoner was defended by Mr. Kenealy. ‘Tho Attorney Generai.in opening the case, said that this cuse was very short and conclusive, The case would be proved by a single witness, and he need not | do more than read the apeech delivered by the prisoner —a speech he must cheracterize as a most dangerous one. There was some slight degree of difference in this case as compared with those that had already been under consideration; for in those the speeches had been delivered to large open-air-meetings, whilst | the speech, for delivering which the prisoner stood at | the bar, was delivered to a meeting of some three hun- dred persons, in the Chartist-hall in the Blackfriars’- road. In addition to the charge of sedition. the pri- | soner was charged with attending an unlawful moet. ing, and with taking part in a riot; but with rogard to the latter charge, the jury would not have to enquire | into it. The Attorney General then proceeded to read a transcript of a government short hand writer's notes of the prisoner's epeeeh, the substance of which was as follows:— Tle said he attended the meeting to assist in the for- mation of a club. He avowed himself # dreadful oppo- nent “practically” of Lord John Russell, He advised the audience to possess themselves of arms, as they hada right to do so—they had a right to repel the mid- night burglar, and they bad equally aright to keep arms to oppose the myrmidons of # base governmont. A time was coming when men would have to act as men. He said that Jobn Mitchel, a man who for four- teen weeks had written and propounded the most beautiful doctrines, and who had done his duty as much as Robert Emmett had done his in his day, had | been removed from amongst them. He avowed himself a republican in heart: and soul, and advised all who could to get arms. Pikes, he said, could bo had for eightcen pence a-picoe, and pistols were cheap. ‘The House of Lords was a rendezvous for pickpockets, and | no good would be done until the land was wrested from ths robbers who held it, To the Irishmen present, he would ray, that the barvest that was then springing up from the surface of Irish soil, would never leave the land until every man had enough. English and Irish should be united, and if their demand for justice were unheeded, they would take it; and if the myrmidons of the English should attempt to hew down their Irish brethren, when the; appropriated the growing harvest, “by hesvens,” said he, “wo will be there to assist them.” He then moved a resolution, which was se- conded by a person named Rooney, and which was to thiseffect, that, as God made man,and asman made arms, it is the’ undoubted right of every man to pos- sess them, and to knew the uso of thom; and, as the possession of ms imparts « dignity and importance hat none but the posressor knows anything of, ho ad- vised every man to obtain them. Evidence being called to prove the delivary of the fe -ch:— "Mr, Kerzaty thon addressed the jury.on behalf of the prisoner. Ho certainly felt considerable ombar- rasement in conducting this defence, because he could have hoped that s member of the profession, with more standing than himself, had been selected to conduct ‘the prisoner's case, and because he had yesterday re- colved a friendly intimation from a member of the bar, that he was to be watched in his conduct of this de- fence, and all that ho said on the subject of repeal was to be strictly noted down tobe used against him. The Attorney Ganerat—How dare you say, ‘sir, anything of the kind? How dare you make any such assertion? Some friend of your own may have made such an observation, but I would not condescond todo fo. I say, how dare you, slr, make such an observa- tion? Mr, Krwxaty appealed to the bench, whether the At- torney General was to be allowed to use such language as that to him. Chief Justice Wizvr said that he had mentioned something that had been whispered to him by private friend, and, if it were untrue, he must expect to have it repudiated, It was a charge against the Attorney General, Mr. Kenraxy then proceeded with his address. His client, he eaid, was an Irishman, and was one of those who considered that the repeal of the legislative union between his country and England would be most be- neficial to both England and Ireland. He had been laced by her Majesty's Attorney General before the jury to answer a chargo of sedition, of attending an ‘unlawful meetyng, and of riot. The attorney-general had thought proper to abandon the charge of riot, and wby, he would ask, had it ever been brought forward? He vias but a young lawyer; yet over since he had fe law his study, he had applied himself to the con- stitutional law of this country; and although he was not to be supposed to understand constitutional law clearly as an Attorney General, or an Attorney General's colleague, he thought he knew what was the constitutional law ‘well, and he had no hesitation in aseerting that tho law, as it had beon laid down in these trials by the law officers of the crown, was not the constitutional law of this country. It was contended that the people had no right to resist. That doctrine he denied le never could subscribe to any such doc- trine. The revolution of 1688 was not the less glori- ous because it was effected by force. He did not deny that the prisoner had attended the meeting in ques- tion, but he believed that he did so from pure and pa- triotic motives; and, if they believed that—however misguided he might have been—he acted on that im- pression, it was their duty to acquit him. He consi- dered it aMurd to raise an outcry against such doc- trines, when they remembered that scarcely any great national cause had ever been gained without force, that great foundation of our liberties, Magna Charta itrelf, having been gained at the point of the sword. Similar opinions had been held by numbers of celebra- ted men, although they had not expressed them with the same force and carnestness as the ner. Among the statesmen of modern times who had on many oc- casions expressed similar principles, he alluded parti- cularly to the Earl of Chatham; and among philoso- ‘There is no moral doubt in the minds of many”| Pher®, toHume, Locke, and Paley. As an instanee | in France, that Lamartine, Ledru Rollin, and others of the late Executive, were implicated in the recent insurrection. Lamartine is about to leave France, so says the French journals, but it 1s denied by that gentleman, most emphatically. We refer our readers to his letter. At Havre the cotton market has improved, and during the week ending on the 8th inst., sales have much increased. On Saturday, the 8th, the sales amounted to 234 bales, the largest day’s business nown for some time. The total sales of the week exceeded 8,000 bales, at a rise 1n price of about 1}f per 100 Ibs on the middling qualities. ‘We learn by advices just received from London, that Consols closed at 86} to 87}; the rise of the week has been 3 per cent, in consequence of the favorable nature of the accounts from Paris and the settlement of the Schleswig Holstein question. The accounts from Spain represent that a Carlist ‘war is now approaching, and that it will be car- nied on with energy. Lord Palmerston is said to be assisting the plans of the Carlists with arms, ammunition and money. The Collingwood, from Valparaiso, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday the 8th, with $1,040,000 specie on freight, for merchants’ account. We learn from Prague that, in consequence ot some shots having been fired on the soldiers of a guard house during the night of the 28th ult., the governor had again proclaimed martial law. Tho Latest News. Havre, Wednesday, July 12, 1848. The detention of the United States till this evening, affords me an opportunity of sending a few lines, and also of enclosing the latest Paris paper, just received by express, which affords but little interest with regard to politics. There is a general decline in French funds and railroads— ‘Three per Cents, 48f 25; Five per Cents, 76f 25. The state of seige, although strictly maintained in the Banlieues, is somewhat relaxed in Paris. The dasarmament of the National Guards of the 8th, Hh and 12th arrondissements, was proceeding satisfactorily. ‘The London Times of the 1th inst., at hand, gives the arrival of the America, on Sunday, half paet 1 o’clock noon, at Liverpool. The English funds close at 87} for money, and for account at 87}. In the Liverpool cotton mar- ket oa the 10th, there was an extensive demgnd; 8,000 bales sold. Prices fairly maintained. The fall of French funds is attributed to a report of the concentration of Russian troops towards Galicia. Cotton market in Havre rather active to-day. Sales about 1,500 bales, with prices well main- tained. THH DETAILS OF THE NEWS. Affairs In England. : The London Z¥mes of the 10th inst. states, evi- dently on authority, that Her Majesty will not pro- ceed to Ireland this summer. Few persons, how- ever, seem to have thought that the aanounced of the necessity for resistance to unconstitutional | measures. he pointed out the injury which had been done to this country by those proceedings on tho part of George III. and his ministers, which caused to this country the loss of the American colonies, which Lord Chatham had described as “the brightest jewel in the English crown.” If those proceodings had been prevented by proper resistance on tho part of the English people, those colon es would still be re- tained, and this Kero # would be in a far more high and independent condition than at present. The right of public meeting was undoubted. Not the most despotic minister of George tho Third attempted to put down this right.and it was only in the free ex- ercise of this right that the prisoner had acted. There ‘wore always alarmists, who exaggerated the danger of such meetings as bad recently taken place. Directly the meeting was advertised, a leading newspaper raised the panic, by advising trades people to shut up their shops; and whi haps would otherwise have been a fuland unimportant meeting, was raised into a gerous: B sony by the presence of the horse police; and then, to increase the public ap- | prehension, ‘number of persons, actuated by a most miserable spirit of “ flunkeyism’—it was an ex- pressive word, and very properly applied—had sworn themselves in special constables He quoted an opinion laid down by Sir Thomas Wilde, at the State trials in 1844, when that learned gentleman said that et- a meeting to be illegal must not be merely a large ing, but must be of such a character as to excite a im Feasonablo minds; yet the Attorney General de nied the law to be so.’ Now he thought he had clearly established the right of resistance to tyranny and of public meeting ; and, he asked, had those rights been | taken away? Tbe privilege of public meeting, of course, meant the privilege of speech ; and if it were | attempted to deprive them of that liberty of speech, then the attempt amounted to an act of tyranny ; and, whether it was right or not to resist it, be- | came a delicate question. But it was one forced | upon them by recent events. Louis Philippe de- | stroyed liberty of meeting, liberty of speech, and | liberty of the press, and made trial by jury as it is now in Ircland, in the words of a great man, “a | delusion, a mockery, anda snare;” and, he asked,where was the man who had taken [those unconstitu- tional measures? ‘The liberty of the press was unas- sailable, because it was too powerful to be successfully grappled with. But it was not the same with speaking —for an individual might be taken away, and his in- | fluence ceased. He therefore urged them to be ver jealous and watchful of every encroachment whic! tended to diminish the rights of the subject. After citing various authorities for the course the prisoner had taken, and alluding to the present condition of Ireland, as showing the result of unconstitutional measures adopted towards her by this country, the learned counsel returned to the immediate object of his conviction of the moral . He concluded by express- ing his entire confidence in the jury, in leaving the ease of the prisoner in their hands, ‘The Attorney General having briefly replied, the jury. after an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict ‘of guilty, ‘The sentence was not pronounced. ‘TRIAL. OF ERNEST JONES. In the Old Court, on Monday, the 10th inst., Lord Chief Justice Wilde, with Sir G. Carroll and Mr, Al- derman Gibbs, took their seats on the bench. Charles Ernest Jones was then placed under Gock, charged, (under several counts,) with misdem nor, to which he pleaded not guilty. The jury were then about to be sworn, whon Mr. Sergeant Wilkins requested that another jury might be put into the box. ‘Ten gentlemen ot the jury who sat in the New Court | on Friday, and two others, wero then sworn. The Attorney Genenat then opened the oase for the prose . He mude no objection to the learned serg request, that the jury who tried the former cases might not be the same who tried this. Though this was @ matter of favor, he had not interposed, as he was most anxious that the oase should both be and ap- | pear to be, tried with the most sorupulous impartiality. | This case, though the last, was by no moans the least, | eH yoy Ge most Let my of all fey onsen, not cause the language © speaker been more grors and violent than that of former — mm the Oe | Contrary, they had been lew eo, but attac to thom was far greater, for the wase man of education, anv, be was ashamed to say. a mem- ber of bis (the Attorney Gomcral’s) own profession, He was not one of the mob, but their leader uadin- | structor in the doctrines they would hear promulgated from his lips. He could not plead ignorance of th conrequenoes of what he advocated. He had preached general rising throughout the country, with a view, the jury would perceive, of introducing a democracy into this country—a democracy that all experience showed could only have endod in a military despotisia. Asthe former jury had, in somowhat similar cases, found the prisoners tried by them not guilty of tho count of riot, he (the Attorney General) would not press that change in the present case, or ask this jury 0 do what the formerjury had not done. He had no desire in the mt prosecution to violate the birth- right of Englishmen—the right of public discussion; but it was yet more necersary that that birthright should not be degraded and abused. In carefully con- sidering the question, they must consider the circum. stancesof the case. The jury must con-ider whether the subject discussed was a real grievance, or was meroly convened and addressed for purposes of excitement, ‘The opinions of the charter might be right or wrong, but bad nothing to do with this cass. Every ono hud right to be @ Chartist. and to discuss the principles of the charter; but in the present case, the defendant had advised the mere discussion of the principles of the charter to be abandoned for other purposes. It was a mere pretence to talk of public discursion. Public discussion there could be none when an excited meeting was merely addressed for pur- poses of excitement. There was not in the speech of Jones any discussion of political grievances or political principles, but the mere inculcation of doctrines of violence. The tendency could not be mistaken—it was to organise, to arm,and to prepare. {t discoun- tenanced partial outbreaks and partial riots, but gave unmistukeable hints that general and not partial out- breaks must be prepared for and organised for, with class leadere, wardmotes, und secret signs. “Organise! organise! organise! and the rest will come without fear.” Jones concluded by telling the people that he was ing toexcite the inhabitants of the north—to rai them to the mark; and he told them that Mr. Sharpe had something particular to say to them. Mr. Sharpe then told them that at a neighboring public house piang of organization were being sold for & half-penuy each, which each man ought to provide himself with. The meeting ended with a fray between the people and the Police, as the jury would hear from the evidence which would be prerently given, and preparations for a great rising on Whit Mon gay ere significantly recommen- ded. ‘The learned gentleman concluded a long aud able exposure of the doctrines held forth by the prisoner as an example to be followed by calling his witnesses. Several reporters and policemen then came forward and proved the delivery of the speech, and that there was a considerable disturbance there. A great many persons were wounded, and several were taken into custody. The civil authority was not sufficient to quell the disturbance, and the military had to be call- ed out. ‘This closed the case for the prosecution, and the jury retired for a short time. After the return of the jury, Mr. Sergeant Witxins commenced his address for the defence. He said that it was far easier to sting than to eradicate the venom. The Attorney General had spoken in what was called “a very able manner,” and had exhibited, in opening the case against the de- fendant, greater earnestness and vehemence than he had displayed on any former occasion Yhroughout these trials; and he would say that he had done so with great sophism and fallacy. Tho epeech for which Mr. Jones was indicted did not contain any- thing which could have calledforth the observations of the Attorney General. and ho was sure that they must have been surprised at the speech, when it was read to them, that it was the speech for which Mr. Jones bad been indicted. He could not, in passing, refrain from expressing his surprise that a portion of the public press should have commented ow those trials until all of them had come toa close. He con- tended that the speech for which Mr. Jones was indicted did not contain anything that was sedi- tious, and he believed he would be able to prove to the jury that the words used were not seditious. The Attorney General had said that this was the most important of all the trials, and he (Vir. Sergeant Wilkins) believed that it was so, as far as the Attorne General was concerned, because it was the most diffi- eult case of the whole, and that the Attorney General felt the diffoulty of establishing the case. The de- fendant was a man of great literary and legal attain- ments—a member of a learned profession—and he would ask the jury if such a man wero likely to band with the poor and needy unless he was conscious that the people had grievances which required redress, and unless he was convinced of the truthfulness ‘of the doctrine he preached? That doctrine mi be di gerous to corruption and undue power, but*coukd not be dangerous to the legitimate and constitutional ex- ercise of power. The Attorney General had emplczed. a little figure of speech when he said he blushed to own that Mr. Jones was a member of his profession. He believed the attorn y general had not blushed for a long time, and at any rate he had not cause to blush at that. M_. Jones desired the people to organise; the Attorney General then made » number of inferences upon the fact. A rash man could sometimes make more a Fertions in an hou: than could be refuted in seven years. He knew no better means of gain- ing an obje t than organization. It avoided con- fusion and many other ills. The corn laws had been done away wita by organization; the Re- form Bill bad been got, and Catho.ic emanc pa tion obtained by organizat on, and precedents were not wanting to tell Mr. Ernest Jones what might be obtained by organization. The Attorney Gene- ral, too, had said that the defendant had no ex- euse for what he did—he could not plead want as his excuse. No; but was all high feeling dead, that the Attorney General should utterly ignore the possibility of such # thing as patriotism existing in England ?— ‘Was it because Mr. Jones had no immediate personal interest in what he did, that the Attorney General was toinfer that his motive could not have been od one? Ifit had not been for patriotism and organiza- tion, few good laws and privileges could have been ob- tained. Magoa Charta was due to organization; and where would the Attorney General, and the jury, and himeelf now be, but for organization? only probably cringing, and fawning, and truckling to @ tyrant, whose selfish passions and personal impulses would have been the only law of their lives. ‘The learned Sergeant then proceeded to comment upon the speech on which Jones was indicted. Jones said—* Mad as the government were, he did not think they were mad enough in such case to attempt to put down public meetings.” What was there in this that was seditious? How was it in a neighboring country? Had it not been for the mad attempt of the French government to put down the Reform Banquet, old Louis Philippe might now be sitting on the throne, instead of being an exile, uncared for and unpitied; and Guizot, prime minister, instead of a fugitive from public opinion, hiding himself here and there from the eyes of men. What was there in the recommendations of organi- sation. of class leaders, of clases, wardmotes, &c , that could be objected to? ‘There were plenty of systems of organization in the country. What system of organi- zation, for example, was more perfect than that estab- lished by that great man John Wesley, for the regu- lation of the Wesleyan Methodists? ‘Another passage had beoninveighed against by the Attorney-General, where Mr. Ernest Jones declared he would preach no eace doctrines until the poor men had their rights. ‘he Attorney-Oeneral had very boldiy declared what were the dispensations of Providence, and had declared that it was contrary to the dispensations of Providence to expect differences of rank to be done away with. He —- Wilkins) thought people ald not be too ready to talk about what were tho dispensations of Providence. People were very apt to assume the dis- pensations of Providence to be whatever they thought ‘0 be for their own particular interests ; and, however | able a commentator on Seripture the Attorney-General | might be, he weuld find it hard to persuade starving | men that a beneficent Providence had intended them to starve, and the luxurious sinecurist to roll about in | his courtly carriage. Such were not, and could not | have been the dispensations of Providence, and posi | should be careful that they were not standing in the | way of those dispensations of Providence which, when | it suited them. they affected so much to revere. He | (Sergeant Wilkins) knew that it was impossible to abo- | lish all distinctions of rank, but that did not prove that it was the dispensation of Providence for hardworking men to be without bread, and some dowager aunt defunct statesman to have the people taxed | for her luxurious benefit. Lordly bishops declared | it to be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for # rich man to enter the kingdom | of heaven, and their dwellings were the most sump- tuous palaces in the land. Really what was there in this meeting that constituted it an illegal one? Was it held at an unlawful hour? No. It was held at five o'clock, in broad daylight. It was perfectly public, for the government short-hand writer sat quietly at work the whole time. There wae nothing in the meet- ing that could be called illegal unless it were in the speeches themselves, and he trusted that the jury would find ‘this charge to be utterly unfounded. Even if the great judge who sat on the bench should incline in a direotion opposite to that which he (Mr. Se nt Wilkins) did, though the case would be made far loss hopeful than otherwise, let the jury remember that even that mind might be liable to a particular bent, and might not be able to prevent that bent from becoming apparent in his chargetothem. But it was their duty and privilege to stand between the people and the smallest attempt to encroach upon their rights, and it even one amon; their number remained unco: ced, it was his sacre: duty to si€ there till his tongue failed him before he. without thorough conviction, returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoner, Tho Attorney Generar then rose to reply, and, at considerable length, recapitulated the uments had previously employed, and enjoined the jury to re- turn a verdict upon the evidence, which, he believed, must be against the prisoner, The Lonp Crier Justice then summed up. This trial, he said, Ley finy @ momentous and most im- portant on cision, of the jury (to which all ast proceedings were merely preparatory) could only Be" useful to soclety if cr ided the mee strictly according to the duced, The jury had to co: tendency of the words what was the intention of the spo! The jury then retired, and after some minutes’ ab- sence returned into court with s verdict of guilty. Interesting from ireland, _ The arrest of Mr. poly and others of the sedi- tious writers in Dublin has been already stated. The following are details of the intelligence:— r. jartin, proprietor of the news- aper, has been committed to Newgate to take fis trial ona charge of felony, at the commission, whioh stands adjourned to the Sta of August next, and not, as Mr. Martin imagined when he gave himeelf into the custody of the police, to the month of, October next. government are nce with energy, sofar as the state of the law wil permit. Previousto Mr. Martin’s surrender, the police had seized all papers, etc., at the office of the Felon; yesterday evening and this day they seized upon all the numbers or the Felon they could lay their hands xpon, either at the office of that paper or amongst the news venders in the streets, But the treason journals are still increas- ingin violence, and the club organization pro- ceeds at railroad speed. BUSSION OF DR. AMEAGHER TO AMERICA. The confederates and their ¢lubs have been working in secret since the passing of the Treason Felony Act. ‘One portion of the plans of the Ex- ecutive Directory, however, has transpired, name- ly, the mission of Mr. T. I. Meagher to the Uni- ted States. There are various rumors as to the object of this move. Some are credulous enough to believe that Mr. Meagher is to join an expedi- tion of sympathisers, from some American port, to reseve John Mitchel from the British author- ties at Bermuda ; others state that Mr. Meagher is to muke a tour of the United States to organ- ize clubs similar to those in Ireland, in order that the Irish confederates may be able to calculate the extent of their resources. MARTIN’S EXAMINATION, ‘When taken before the magistrate this morning, the following was what took piace :—Mr Tyndall asked him whether he was aware that informations bad been laid against him. and that a warrant had been issued several days ago for his apprehension ? Mr. Mantin—! am not ts the exact nature of these ipformations ; but I do fot wish to waste the time of the Court, in having them read to me, and will be quite satisfied to be informed whether or not [ am charged under the recent “Gagging Act,” and for what particular writings or speakings ! Mr. Tywpatu—You are indicted under that act of Parliament, and for several distinct articles published in your paper. Mr, Mantin—Will you be good enough to favor me with the names or titles of the indioted articles ? Mr, Witttams, one of the office-clerks, then read the titles of the prosecuted articles from the indictment. | Mr. Mantin—Can I havea copy of that information? | Mr. Tyspatu—Certainly. That is all I bave to sa to you; Mr. Martin, and I need not tell you that it wiil now be my duty to commit you to prison, to stand your trial at the next commission, for this offence. Mr. Mantin then, aidressing the Bonch, said : Per- haps your worship will allow me to oZer an explanation here which I bave now no other means of communica: | ting the facts of tothe public. I wish to state. that I haye purposely evaded the execution of a warrant (which I was aware had been issued for my apptehen- sion) from Monday until this day, for the following | reasons, which I have stated at length in a letter in | this day’s number of the Felon, and which, I under- | stand, has been seized upon by the police authorities ina manner which I conceive to amount to nothing short ot # public robbery Im consequence of this procedure I am anxious to mention here, in order that the public may learn the fact, that my object in kuep- | ing out of the way was merely to got time to accure something like « fair trial; for I apprehend that ['| should have had no chance at all of a fair trial if I had, been tried before the commission which sat last Tues- | day, and was elosed on that day. I thereforo, resolved | if possible, not to deliver mysolf up. or be arrested, un- til thet commission was adjourned in the usual way. | I wich the public to believe what is the truth—that I am not in the least afraid to meet the consequences of my own deliberate act. I now fully understand that I have to meet 4 prosecution under the Treason- Felony Act for certain articles published in a news- paper of which I am the responsible proprietor. For ‘all those articles 1 bold myself alone legally and mo- rally responsible ; and {am now ready to be conduct- ed wherever you please to send me. Mr, Martin was then convoyed to Newgate. THE JOURNALS. Mr, John Martin has published, in the Irisi Felon a | long letter, addressed * To the Right Hon. the Earl of Clarendon, representative of the British Crown and | dignity in Ireland.” It is dated “ From my hiding place, July 6,” and gives the following account of the causes whith induced him to keep out of the way of the icex— “On last Monday evening, when, armed with your warrant for my arrest, your detectives searched for me in my office in Trinity street, and afterwards in the house of my friend Mr. Reilly. it happened that I was sitting comfortably im the house of another friend, where I had dined, Information reached me very soon of your proceedings; and my friends and | formed our- selyes into a little cabinet council, to consider the couree proper for me to take; and we agreed that the Dest course was, that I should endeavor to keep clear of Green strect till after the rising of your pre: commission. We understovd that the,rown had pi vided itself with a panel of. evon “surer * loyalty’ than the one you packed for the conviction of John Mitchel; ‘that the most ferocious of your partizan iudges, Chief Justice Blackburne, occupied the bench; that your convict ship the Shearwater la in Kingstown harbor;—that, in short, you had al your arrangements ready made for ‘ trying’ me, con- | vioting me, and robbing me—putting me in irons and sending me off, like a burglar or murderer, to live and die among burglars and murderers—all within teenty- four, or at most forty-eight hours; while 1 could’ have no time or opportunity to prepare my legal defence or my moral vindication—no means of exposing to the world the iniquities of your packing, your contri- vances for making ‘crown,’ ‘govetnment.’ and ‘law? abominations to all honest men—your official meau- ness, lying and malignity. My friends and [ con- sidered that your advantages in a ‘trial’ for ‘ felony,’ under such circumstances, would be too enormous— that your dice were really too heavily loaded ; and, therefore, we determined that | should avoid a ' trial’ during this commission. And thus it is that I have condescended to hide myself from your detectives for these days. Your commission, which, as I am told, finished all the businese before it on Tuesday last, ‘stands adjourned till Friday ;’ and people say that this sitting on Friday must be intended for my es- ecial case, which is really doing me far too much fonor (for indeed Iam but a very feeble opponent of your empire, though I will yield to no man in hatred of that grand engine of human debasement and misery.) The commission, I understand, must rise tor tho long vacation on Friday, as the benig: ant Black- burne and the other esteemed Crown and Government Judges are to go on circuit upon Saturday. And after Friday it will not be convenient for your courts to ‘ try’ me, orany other patriots, for ‘felony’ till October next. If, then. you confine me in Newgate till Octo- ber, ve wilt both of us cave three months for prepara- tion before my trial—which | trust wid be also your trial You can employ the time in perfecting your Ptcking arrangements, ‘instructing’ your lawyera and judges—perhaps getting new acts from ycur parlia- | ment anent the atrocious ‘ illegality’ of speaking truta in Ireland—to take away from me any legal chance of pega and in setting the speakers and writers of your faction to slander and vilify me in the same way as they slandered and vilified John Mitchel, representing me as a communist, a socialist, an advocate of pillage and massacre, a fiend whose delight isin tempests of anarchy and civil war, andin torrents of human blood —s0 a8 to nave me morally oc nvicted as well as legally. On the other hand, it will be the part of my friends and myself,to offer ail the little opposition in our power ty your jury-packing, and at least to expose your pra tices. in that department of ‘ government,’ to the co tempt and detestation of the world; and to propagate ‘felonious’ sentiments as extensively as we can among these of our coun.rymon whom their ignorance and bigotry, and the acts of your fuction, keep away from the national ranks, as the Orangemen of Ulster, tho demented landlords, who are rushing upon their owndestruction, and the misguided men o. your army and police force. For my own part, I hope to effect some good by explaining the national doctrines, and urging the necessity of the course pro- posed by Nationalists, and so effacing from the minds of our wretched ‘better classes’ those prejudices and fears which impel them to prefer civil war to Irish in- dependence. {can reasonably calculate upon a moral triumph in the czeeof the world, by October next, And I have good hope that by October next my coun- trymen will be so armed and organized, so cured of their terror for policemen’s batons and soldiers’ bay- onets, so strong in their sense of right, so bold and de- termined, that they will not permit you to lay your in- solont hands upon the meanest of the six millioa Irish ‘felons’ that, in their heart of hearts, curse your im- pious crown and government. Mr. James F. Lalor, in an article in the Felon, head- ed “ What must be done ?”’ recommends the formation of a Felon newspaper proprletory of from 400 to 1,200 persons. He says:—“ The hand of the English govern- ment points to this journal as the foe which it hates and fears the most, If Ireland be desirous that it shall not sink. overborne by repeated assaults, there is one sure way to support and sustain it, and ‘but one alone. I now do what I have deferred too long—I ap- peal to Ireland to come to the relief of her assailed and endangered fortress; and I claim, for sake of her own safety, to have that fortress manned and provided—its garrison increased, its defences strengthened. I do- mand the immediate formation of a joint-stock com- pany to take Mr. Martin’s plaee, if he should be crush. ed, and to continue this journal under its present or some other name.” Mr. Lalor thus concludes :— “Form the company I propose, and then, before they ‘squelch’ Ireland they must ‘squelch’ the Felon office, Ha! ‘squelch’ it—by Heavens— squelch’ it! It is no good. No middle course can answer that. Your knee te the ground—or death and defiance, oh Ireland! pod JF, Lavo.” The Tribwne is quite on a par with the other. Jacobin journals; | shall, however, confine myself to a single extract :— HOW TO CONQUER. “We plainly told our fellow-countrymen iast week that the land question is the one of the greatest importance—the one which ought to ocoupy their minds at the present time while the harvest is ri- Ronin ; and if eer. can make up their minds that ie land is theirs, it is quite clear that th of the land—the corn. ba ge nd gree wi ntry is this lend, sad ‘oes oup- | ought to be adopted for the consolidation of new insti- t | vidual interest might be seen in that act. ported by the produce of the land, so wilfully out- Faged and attempted to be totally ‘abrogated. Valu attempt! as if a natural law, un ordinance of heaven, can be long held in abeyance and terrible mixery not to be produced. Eight thourand have usurped this gift of Providence to the exclusion of cight millions, Can these eight thousand hold it much longer against tho awak- ening intelligence of the millions? ‘To root out Trish landlorda, and exterminate landlordism— to eradicate it. root apd branch, out of the Island, should be the unctum saliens of irish liberty, ‘Extermination of Frisk Inndlordiem’ should be the Srst war-ory--should he the password of any army of independence—the | constant theme of clubs—the firrt deliberation of the council of three hundred." THE STATE OF IRELAND. The writer of the following letter is said to have | | resided some years in Ireland 1m an official capa- city, which affords him the best means of informa- tion, and to be a military man o' high rank and of great experience, as well as great intelligence :— | _ “This country, since Mitehel’s transportation, has | | been apparently quiet, but that vory quiet leads me to | euppore that it extends only as far as appacrances go, | | and that the disaffected are only waiting for what they may consider # favorable opportunity. The clubs bave within the last month not only increasedin num- | ber, both an Dublin and the provinces, but are daily | Peace, ii cautious in their proceedings, and per- | fecting themeelves. as much as possible in cetails, 80 a8 | | to become efficient as one body. Crimes which twelve | menths ago were frequent all over the country now are almost unheard of—merely because the re waiting to wake an attempt on an extended s Ireland will take its tone from Dubiin. It at 50.000 men and upwards are at present armed, and well armed too, and almost the whole of that num: | ber bave been practised to use thelr arms. An rm | mento quantity of ammunition has foun | its way into | Ireland during the lest six months, Whereis it? The | number of avowed repea'ers ia great, the number of re- | pealers not avowed iy also great; and to these others whem the smallest chance of success would surely turn, from selfish motives, and say how many honest men and true are ieft? Some strong and decisive mea- sure should be at once taken to put down the clubs, and disarm the disaffected as much as possible. Till this is done, all other measures must be fruitless. Our soldiers arc true as stecl, and, should there be a few black sheep among them, they dare not show them- selves, as they would be shot by their comrades. The pensioners may also be calculated on as a most effi- cient force, The Dublin police and the constabulary in the country are a most useful force, and to be trusted as a body; butstill when wereflect that they are all Irish (with very fow exceptions), and mostly Roman Catho- hes, it cannot be supposed that there are not some dis- affected men amongrt them; and, | think, were there any symptom of the Repealers getting the upper hand even ior ashort time, both police and constabulary would in part aympathise with them. The eyents which have just taken place in Paris have no doubt shown the Repealers what disciplined troops can and will do. and now is the time to act with energy (when, to use avulgar expression, they are down in the mouth), and not to wait till they have gained increased strongth and confidence. I have no doubt they have leaders in different parts who couid easily raise, in a very short time, a desperate attempt at rebellion; that, when once upin arms, those leaders have not the power of Feprasslng-shett lowers, aod though in the loug run they would be defeated, it would not be till after much bloodshed. Remember the harvest is fast approaching. The clubs aro hourly increasing—the priests are tipe for repeal—and upwards ef 60,000 mon are known be well armed, The clubs must be put down at once, as the first great step to improvement." The French Republic. ‘There {2 only one article in the Paris journals of the lithinst of sufficient interost for extract. It isin the Constitutionnel, in answer to some of the journals which have accused it with having a reactionary ten- dency. ‘The Constitutronnel declares that it is sincere in its adoption of the republic, but then proceeds as follows to express its opinion as to the course which tutions :— “ Let govepnment call itself monarchical or repub- lican, it ts indispensable that its institutions be adap- ted to the partioulur character of the people for whom itisdestined. Extremescan no more be resisted in physical than in moral order. Too much or too little food proves injurious ; the sight is equally affected by too much or too little light, and itis just the same for man in @ multiplied state, which is the poople. Too much or too little liberty destroys him, either by con- sumption, or by fever and delirium. ‘Liberty. thero- | fore, must have its limits. When under the monarchy | sacrifices were impored on liberty, it was thought that | they were made solely for the interest of the monar- chy ; we admit. that it might have its share of them. But there are sacrifices which must be made even un- der the republic, because they are commanded by the interest of society as a body. When the monarch; | placed its principle above discussion, an ee a ut when society refuses that its double base, property and | family, should be discussed, would not:that retronch- | ment from liberty be effected for the most extensive and most lawful of human interests? Let care be ta- ken. however. The question is not to cut short learn- ed discussions in which metaphysicians reason in large books about the origin of things, even if the boldest ne- gations be advanced. Such negations, buried in wri- Uings not very accessible to all, are without danger.— ‘We speak of ihe exciting polemics which appeal to the passions, and which, denying the right of property in Presence of misery, set the poor on the rich as a prey. ye have just seen the horrible effect of such predica- tions—they lead to civil war. In fact, there is n merely the daily press to disseminate them, there are the placards, there are the clubs. Scarcely the republicans of the veille achieved the ht of placard- ing, when they used it, as generals do in haranguing their troops, to prepare them for attack or defence against an enemy. M. Caussidiere said in one of his addresses to the people of Paris, which was posted up: “Citizens, keep your wrms.’’ Another invited, ina well- known placard. one portion of society to.demand pardon or menaced it with the justice of the sections militari- ly organised. At the same time certain clubs became citadels or camps. Such was the effect of extreme li- berty in our nation of soldiers. It is evident that such @ state of things would send us back to the middle ages —that it would assimilate the French republic to those Italian republics, in which civil war contiaually exist- ed, in which the see fought amongst themselves to rosoribe each other in turn, the conquerors entering | into possession of the houses or lands from which the | conquered were driven out, Mcdern liberty has chang- ed this savage regime ; haa substituted the discussion of the tribune for the field of battle; the vanquished | lose power in place of losing their country or their pro- rerty; they undergo the moral condemnation of publie opinion, in place of undergoing an order of banish- TWO CENTS. meeting of the new representatives; but It rejected every proposition to that effect brought forward, show- ing itself in generat of asevere econumy The - bly also decided on suppressing altogether the counter for refrechments generally known by the name of the buvette, where since 1830 wine and water, sugar and water. snd such light beverages, were distribute 4 to the members gratuitously, Tho expense in 1847 was only 42,000fr., and in 18'$ would have been it was thought, abont 60.000fr, The Assembly uot wishing to impose that expense on the State euppressad the huvette alto- gether, It has refased also to authorise the establish ment, in the interior of the building, of a counter, where on paying members could obtuin refreshments. | It is supposed that the Assembly will again sitin svoret | this day. to regulate the remaining detalls of its budget. The Ccmmities on Labor was ooeupied on Monday | In exawining a proposition of M. mori. tending te modify the articles ot the penal code relative to coali- tions. The committee at last thought ft better to ad- Journ the question for the present, The commit- | tee next took into consideration ‘a petition ema- nating from M. Lohesel, of Paris, tending to have six establishments created in Paris for the purpose of gi- ving a proper education tothe children of workmen, on the model of that founded by the Abbé Borrangor, in the Rue de Vaugirard, where every child is pro; for somo particular calling in after life. The com- mittee decided to recommend the petition to the notice of the Mixister of Public Instruction. On Monday, Mesers, Viotor Hugo and Ducaux pre- | gented to the President of the National Assombly Liewtenant Charles Berard, an intrepid National Guard of the 6th Legion. who was wounded in taking a flag from tho barricade at the Barriere dos Trois Couronnes. M. Berard brought the flag with him, at- tended by a deputation composed of Capt. Guill and Sub-Lieutenant Brocard, of his own legion Capt Samard and Lieut. Gouseet, of the 13th G: Mobile Capt Guillaume and Lieutenante Berard and Brocard accompanied MM. Victor Hugo and Galy Cazelat on the Saturday to the attack and oapturo of the barricades at the Temple and the Marais, whiok was not made until after M Victor Hugo had tried im in every means of conciliation. Lieutenants Berard d Gouseet, unaided, took the cannon at the barri- nts during the night, and had noother thick plank under tho barricade, After this bold, at, which was performed under a complete storm of wuilets, M. Berard exclaimed, “ I have taken a cannon, and now I must have a flag.” Ho kept his word, for not many minutes after he seized the flag on tl ricade des Trois Couronnes, where he reesived @ wound in the foot, T! President returned him thanks in the namo of the representatives of the peo- ple, and accepted the flag. which will be deposited ig the archivos of the Assembly, STATE OF PARIS.

The National Assembly, on the 11th inst., adopted, almost without remark, bill to regulate the steno- graphic service of the Chamber, for the purpose of giv- ing the reports in the Moniteur of the sitting; also, one for the formation of a camp of 50,000 men in the Champ de Mars, or im the environs of Paris; and, lastly. @ bill demanding a grant of 500,000 fr. for offect- ing certain clearings and improvements in the State forests. The Minister of the Interior presented a bill | relative to the caution noney for newspapers; the sum to be deposited has been diminished more than | three-fourths, a daily paper paying only 24,000 francs, | in place of 40,000 francs, and the others in propor. | tion. Tho honorable Minister also presented a bill against offences of the press, but it differs from that | hitherto in force, only in certain modifications of lan- guage, inserted to sult the republican form of govern- | ment ; the pate and penalties romain as they were. | He likewise brought forward a third bill which seemed | to excite even more interest than the others, namoly, | one to regularise the holding of political clubs. Any citizens are permitted to open a club, provided they | make a preliminary declaration of their intention to the proper authorities—to the Prefect of Police at Paris, and to the Mayor of the commune in the depart- ments; the said declaration must be made at least forty- | eight hours in advance ; all the sittings must be public, | d at least a quarter of the seats must be reserved for & government functionary may be present it ittings, in a seat expects Tesorved for him; proces verbal of the proceedings of each sitting is to be drawn up by president and secretaries ; no club can ever resolve itself into a secret committee, nor can any propositions tending to exeite disturbance or civil brought forward : any one contravening those provisions is to be subjected to a fine of from 400 to 500 francs, and, if thought necessary, to a suspension of civic rights, for a period of one year at least, and three at most. Whoever appears at club with arms, is to be liable to an imprisonment of from three to six months, and to the privation of civic rights of from three to ten years. The tribunals can order the clos- ing of a club, when convicted of having contravened any of the above enactments; and, in case of the club meeting after the ordor of dissolution has been pro- nounced, the parties so offending are to be liable to'un imprisonment of from six months to a year, and to @ suspension of civic rights for from five to ten years,— The honorable Minister also presented a bill demand- ing 500,000 fr. to be distributed amongst the theatres of Paris, avd 470,000fr. for the French Opera. The National Assembly formed itseif on Monday, the 10th, at four o'clock, into a secret committee | to regulate its own expenses, ‘The budget of the | Chamber of Deputies amounted in 1847 to 786,- S90fr.; that of the present Assembly is fixed for eight months of 1548 to the sum of 6,22%4,- | 2iifr., of which the indemnity of 25 fr. per day for the representatives, during « period of eight | months, amounts alone to 6 400,000fr. ‘Two questions were examined respecting thisindemnity. In the first Place, the Assembly decided, contrary to the opinion of | the committee, that no suspension should take place | when the representatives were absent on leave, or de- tained at home by illness, ‘The second question was to decide whether any proceedings at law for debt | could be allowed to affect the indemnity granted to the | representatives.

The compositors, ete., of several of the journals which were suppressed on the 26th June, onday sent delegates to requeit an interview with the chief of the executive government. They were received by M. Marie, President of the Assembly, who, after hear- ing what they had to say, stated that he was not re- sponsible for the suppression of newspapers. but that in @ few days there would be a solution satisfactory to all interests. Works of public utility are now being executed im the quarter of the Arsenal, and @ considerable num- ber of workmen are employed on them. The reserve stores are being enlarged; ‘and on the right bank of the Seine, near the Pont d’Austerlitz, a new port is being constructed. The Union says:—“ There was a talk yesterday at the National Assembly of the arrest of a high fune- tionary of the previous administration of the ag ot ment of war This person, whose name we keep back until we shail have received more ample information, has been, it was said, arrested on the gravest inoulpa- tion, and accused, if not of comiplicity, at least of great negligence, in the last insurrect Several other important arrests were also spoken of."
