Lord CaSTLEREagh mored for the appointment ' j < T! nion of a Committee to frame an answer t o the message of i r rrM- n the Prince Recent, respecting the murder of Mr. Per- j ceval, pursuant to the resolution of the preceding diy, f which Resolution he proposed should be referred to I the Committee. Sir F. BUKPETT said he had no opportunity', on j the preceding day, to express those feelings in which j he, in common with every member of that House, j participated. He rose, net to oppose the motion of j the Nohle Lord, but merely to express his abhor- rence of, and horror at, the assassination of the late I Chancellor of the Exchequer. There was no room j for any feeling but one, on such an occasion ; and that feeling ail must wish should be conveyed to the Sovereign, unallayed by any other. It was im- possible that this feeling, oil a subject which con- cerned the safety of every man in rhe nation, should not he carried with unanimity to the Throne ; It was natural, and indeed it ought to he so, for such a feeling to put an end, for a time, to every difference • f opinion I The motion was then agreed to, and a Committee appointed accordingly. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of making a provi- sion for the family of Mr Perceval. Lord CASTLEKKAGH having yesterday ascertained the sense of the House, felt it would be unnecessary to take up the time of the Committee by going into the subject at length. It was only necessary to • submit to their consideration the regulations necessary for carrying into effect what they had yesterday un- animously resolved to do. It might hardly be neces- sary to state, that in addition to the widow of Mr. Perceval, there were 12 children to provide for. The House would feel th it such a provision ought to be made as would enable those to whom their education was entrusted, to provide for them in some measure according to the rank, talents, and character of their father. He should first propose the grant of a sum of money for the support and education of the children, meaning afterwards to move a grant by way of annui- ty to Mrs Perceval. On this point Government were controuled, not only by the considerations of econo- my, but by the family of Mr, Perceval, whose wish it was, that whatever was done on the subject might be framed on a scale calculated to conciliate the ap- tion of his Noble Friend might not be subjected to ny interference which might he productive of a dif- Mr H. SumneR replied, that however desirable unanimity might be, he could not forget that unani- mity would not give bread. As to the hint which had been given him of the propriety of his having consulted Ministers, he had not that opinion of their infallibility, as to conclude it his duty to sacVifice to it his right as a Member of Parliament, to submit to the House whatever measure he pleased, without waiting for their consent. The House then divided on the motion of Lord CAKTI. EREAGH, that Mr Lushington should quit the Chair— For the motion, 67— Against it, 107— Ma- jority against it 40. The House then divided on the motion of Mr. Sumner, for granting an annuity of 2000/. per an- num to the heir of Mr Perceval, on the death of his mother.— For the motion, 136— Agiinst it, 23— Majority 113.

( 209 be granted to his Majesty, to be vested in the hands of Trustees, for the twelve children of Mr Perceval. Mr HOME SUMNER declared that the sum of 40Cl() l. each to the children was wholly inadequate. He ap- pealed to every father who heard him whether it was possible to educate a child for that comparatively tri- fling sum ?—( Hear!)— Was such the situation in which Mr Perceval's labours would have left them if he had pursued his profession } Had he not, for the service of his count! v, desfci ted the service of his fa- mily, at i time when,- having attained the loftiest emi- nence of the law, he might have iied possessed of a large fortunt-. He bef « Hhl high office of ^ attorney General, antl had il vacafcy occurred, he would have b_ « n exalted to the station of a Chief Justice or Chan- cellor—( Hear !)— He ( Mr. S.) instead of this pal- try proposal would have wished to have seen the House address the Throne, praying the Prince Regent to ex- alt in tank the representative of Mr Perceval—( Hear, hear.)— The least that could be done, was to have appropriated six or 70001. to each of his children. Mr. WHITEHEAD thought that the unanimity of the House was of more importance to the family of Mr. Perceval, tlran a sum something larger than that proposed, if voted with reluctance. He felt himself Oound to say, that entirely concurring with that which had been proposed by the Noble Lord, if any thing beyond that sum were proposed, the vote would not be unanimous. Mr. BANKS moved, that the following words should be added to the motion :-—'" The said Sum to be paid without fee or deduction." Mr. H. BROWNE proposed making the grant 60,000/. but the motion was not seconded. The question on the original motion, with the ad- dition of the word* proposed by Mr. Bankes was then put and agreed to, with one dissentient voice, that of Mr. H Browne, whose opposition had of course for its object the subtitution of a larger grant. The question was then carried ucm. con. Lord CASTlErEAGH moved that the annual sunt of 30001, be granted to his Majesty out of the Cosoli dated Fun, to commence from 11th May, 1812, to enable him to grant an annuity to that amount to Mrs. Jane Perceval, widow of the Right Hon. Spencer Perceval, for the term of her natural life, which was put and can ied nem. con. Mr. H. SuMNeR then moved— That the annuity be continued from the death of Mrs. Perceval, to the person who may at that period be the heir of Mr. Perceval. Mr. WHITBREAd wished to say nothing against the political memory of the dead, but his opinions on the policy of Mr. Perceval he had, when living, ex- pressed to his face. If he concurred with that which was proposed, he should think that doing so, he con- curred in approbation of his political measures. ( No, No .') He spoke for himself, but if they came to a vine on the subject, he should certainly divide the Committee. Mr. WILbeRforCE reminded the Committee that their proceedings would be considered by posterity, and would become matter of history. Any division on jiiis question would but sully the high testimony of approbation which his late and Right Hon. Frier. d had received eyen from those who were hostile to him in politics. Loid CASTlEReAGH would assure the Hon. Mover of t'ne present proposition, that had he calculated the proposed remuneration by his own sense of the cha- ractgr and public services of his late Right Hon. Friend, it would have been of a much higher descrip- ijon. He lamented, that the zeal and aiflcuon of any individual should endanger unanimity on the pre- sent occasion ; and to prevent the House from being put into the ailkward situation of directly Arming, or disaffirming the proposition of the Hon. Gettt. he should movu, to leave oat all the words after the word " that" in the Honi Gent's motivn, and substitute the following :— I report the said resolution, to the H ' Bit'." ADDRESS TO THE REGENT. The SPEAKER took the Chair at two o'clock, and soon after the Members began to colleff, and by half- past two nearly 300 Members, in foil dress, were assembled, amongst whom, on the Opposi- tion side of the House, was observed Mr. Ponson- by, Mr. C. W. Wynne, Mr. W. Elliott, Mr. Jekyl, Col. Dillon, and several other leading Members. On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, ' that the Report of the Resolutions of the Com- mittee, to whom the Prince Regent's Message re- lative to making provision for Mr Perceval's fa- mily had been referred, should be brought up, Mr. H. SUMNER said, he understood, after he had quitted the Houfe last night, an arrange, ment respefting receiving this Report had been made, to which, had he been present, he could by no means have assented, namely, that the two first Resolutions should be agreed to, and that which he had the honour of proposing and carry- ing by a great majority, should be postponed for further consideration. If such a proceeding were persisted in he should certainly take the sense of the House on it, previous to going up with the Address. Lord CASTLEREAGH declared, he had no objedl so much at heart as unanimity on this sub- He trusted the Hon. Gentleman would see how very desirable that objeft was. It was also much wished that the Report should be brought up previous to the House going to his Royal Highness with the Address. The Hon. Member, perhaps, would not objeft to the Report being now brought up, and the further consideration of the whole of it postponed till the return of the Home. The Report was then brought up, and the fur- ther consideration of it, on the motion of Lord Caot'ereaph, p^ tponed till the afternoon The SPEAlt ER then informed the House, that the time appointed by his Royal Highness for re- ceiving the Address being nearly arrived, it would be proper that the House should adjourn pro tem- pore. The House then adjourned, on the moiion of Lord Castlereagh, till five o'clock, and the Speaker, attended by the Members present, proceeded to Carleton- House with the Address. The number of carriages which followed the Speaker exceed- ed 150. At five o'clock the SPEAKER resumed the Chair, and communicated to the House thi answer of his Royal Highne s to the address of the House, in which his Royal Highness expressed the great gratification he felt at the declaration of the House to provide with liberality for the family of the de- ceased Right Hon. Spencer Perceval; which his Royal Highness observed was a tribute due to the great talents and eminent public and private vir- tues which marked the charatfer of that lamented States loan. MONUMENT TO MR. PERCEVAL. Lord CLIVE gave notice that he should to- morrow move that a Monument be erected at the public expence, in the Cathedral Church of St. Peter, Westminster, to the memory of the late Right Hon. S. Perceval— ( Hear, hear, hear I) On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, for tLiking iato further consideration the Resolutions of the Committee on the Prince Regent's Message, Mr. C. ADAM declared himself of opinion, that if the House did accede to the proposed ad- ditional Resolution, for providing for the eldest son of the late Right Hon. S. Perceval, thay would not act tip to their professions. He re- gretted much that the Noble Lord had not in the first instance proposed ifil00,600 instead of £ 50,000, and he was convinced it would have been adopted. The Res ilution, granting 3650,000 to Mr. Per- ceval's children, and the Resolution, granting < C2000 per annum to Mrs. Perceval, wefe both / agreed to / nem. con. On the third Resolution, for continuing the grant of rhe annuity of £ 2o09 to the eldest son, after Mrs. Perceval's decease, Mr. HUSKISSON said, unanimity had been the first objeft with him in the vote which the House should come to on this suhjefh Wirh re- aped to the grant How tinder consideration, it was proposed to give the annuity to young Mr* Per- ceval after the death of his mother; this might not occur till a period at which he might not want it. The situation of this yodng man at present was most painful, and such as he was convinced the House would not wish him to be in, would the income which it was proposed to give him, j€ 200 a year, be possible for him to be supported by at college, or in any liberal profession whi> h he might afterwards wish to follow. From Mrs. Perceval that support must come, and must come to the injury of her other childien j some imme- diate provision was absolutely necessary for his itlpportj and to prepare him either to con- rnence hi* cdrevr at the bar, or in a political cou: se, annuity should commence on hts attaining ' he age of 21, or he should have an immnliate provision of £\ 00') per annum settled on h: m. General MATHEW did not think die pro- posed provision such As became this great nation to make for Mr. Perceval's family. Hs felt great pleasure in supporting the prop isition for gt tilt- ing £ 2000 a- year to the eldest son. Mr. HUSKISSON would now propose an im- mediate settlement of £ 1000 a- ycar on the son. Mr. W. WARD opposed the propo. ed increas- ed grant; the eldest son of Mr. Peiceval might hot possess his taients. Mr. WALLACE said, whether the son posseised the talents of Mr. Perceval or not, he was of opinion he Jionld enter the world with every advantage which the House ciuld give him. Mr. w FITZGERALD called on the House to considef wliat had been the former life of Mr. Herceral; what had been his condiict a » a public man; and that after having been five years public Minister, he had died in the service of his country, and left his famiW in n worse situation than they would have teen had he never entered th-; public ler. uice. He would ; isk Oentlemen whether if Mr Percrval bad, incraJ of giving the Teller « h> p of the t^ Mr Yorke, given It ti the yoimj; man now the « il> j-< ft » ( debate, whether any man in the House would hav.: med him of an unjitstifishl* Lord Siuinouth, against whom he had never heard in aceusation, had so provided for hi* elde- t son. Mr. Perceval wis the first man whose family had been ruined by his service* to the public. He asked the House whether it would redound to their honour that the eldest son of the first Minister of the Crown, who had been murdered in the service of the public— the son who was to support the father'* name— had been provided for byv n annuity of £ 266 a year. Mr. TiERNEY wished the House to . suspend coming to any decision « n this question for a week; if in the mean time he could convince himself that the grant was right, it sh > uld have his full support. He was the more induced to wish for this - it- lay, as he believed this was the first instance of the House voting a large sunt of the public money, at a tiifte when there was no First Lohf of the Treasurer or Chancellor of the Exchequer. He should therefore move, " 1' hat the further Consideration of this question sheuld be adjourned till this day week." Sir G WARRENDeR said, he thought the argument of the Right Hon Gent. ( Mr. Tierney) respe& irtg the grant of public money at the presertt period, would have applied aJ well to the twdfirst resolutions as to the third—'( Hear, hear.) He could not forbear alluding to the eondti ft of Mr. Perce- val in having negleiSed so long to prov. de for hi- eldest son, by appointing him to some lucrative situation, as had inva- riably been the conducft of former Ministers. He thought it more incumbent dn the House to provide for Mr. Perce- val's elJest son, since he had sacrificed his life to aconscientiou, discharge of his public duty, in refusing to apply the public money Su a manner which he thought, in justice to the pub- lic, it ought not to be applied. He had always opposed Mr. Perceval ou political grounds, but he thou/'- t himself called on to state thus much on the subjeA. Mr. TiERNEY, in explanation said, his Hon. Friend was right in saving he ought to have opposed the two first grants; he should have done so could he have f. iund any one person in the House who would have seconded the mo- tion—( Hear, hear, from every part of the Haute !) Mr. WH1TBREAD said, it was painful far him to entef into any discussion on the sukjeift. To the virtue, and chap- after of Mr. Perceval he had borne his warmest and sin- cerest testimony. He had heartily agreed to the two first resolution!; but if he were to agree to the third, he should consider himself giving his approbation to his political con- d. iil With respefi to whkc had S- eo Said of Mr. rerco val abandoning a lucrative profession, to take upon h « ttself the public service, he had been told it « ni the contrary.— He had also been told, that high legal situations h. d been offered to him, 4rid he had declined them, because he pre- ferred continuing his political pursuit,. With respe& to the situation of Mrs. Perce » al, he understood she h id as in- come of .£ 6,500 a- year to bring up her family. He had agreed to the two first resolutions by his vote, and felt con- vinced he should never repent that vote [ but agains> th* pre- ent proposition he must enter his cool and deterniinits protest. Lord BINNING did not think that agreeing to this vote would at all indicate any approval Of hi political c . ndudt. Mr SUMNER said, the Right Hon Gent. ( Mr Tierney) had hesitated at voting money in the absence of the first Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exchequer; th( » was singtihr, tfhen it was considered, that that Rij; ht Hon. Gentleman, in the case of Mr. P., Inter, had v.. ted a grant of money in the v « ry teetll of the First Lord of the Trea- sury and Chancellor of the Exchequer. Nothing had past- ed in the debate of last ni^ ht which went at all to change his opinion of the propriety of the grant he had proposed. He was ready indeed to increase the grant, should it be thought proper; but could not con. ent to go back. Lord OASTLEREAGH did justice to the feelings of the Hon. Gentleman, respefiing his late Right Hon. Friend — The ci- cumstances under which he had ente- ed into the ser- vice of the Public were all connoted with a cerise of public duty. In obedience to the wishes of his Sovereign he had ma. le great sacrifices, and it was hit Sovereign's wish to re- munerate him in proportion to these sacrifices, » h; ch, from the high eminence he had risen to in his profession, was very ,; reat. He could now say, that Mr. Perceval'- family were highly grateful for the liberality of Par] orient; an . for hi, own part, he did rn- t conceive himself justified in advancing the giant heyond what he proposed ; but if it should he the deli bet lie judgment of the House to estenj it, he should M course submit. Mr. LUSHINGTON remarked, that where the e were five- iiiths of tht House in favour of a certain proposition, it was proper for those who called for unaiiurvty to giv^ up the point.

SESSIONS- HOUS ™ , OLD BAILET, • " ' V , FRIDAY, MAY 15. Eellingham eat his dinner yesterday at two o'clock with seemingly a good appetite, and was soon after visited by Mr. Under- Sheriff Smith, • and other Gentleman, and desired to prepare for Jiis trial. Between four and fire o'clock, Mr. Harmcr, the Solicitor, appointed to conduff his defence,- waitedtipon- him, but he would ha* e no. thing to say to him ; insisting that he needed nei- ther Attorney nor Counsel, but W as competent to manage 1) is own business ! At six o'clock he drank some tea, immediately after which he brpan to draw » p his defence — He continued writing. till about twelve at night, when he went bed and requested silence that he might repose in quiet— waked at three this morn- ing, wrote a few lines and then lay down again and slept rill seven, when he got up, washed him- felf, and breakfasted at eight o'clock. He eat sparingly, began to he much agitated, expressed great concern for his family, and was sick. His haiV being dressed, he began to express impatience for the hour of trial. At a quarter before tep thtt morning, Mr.; Newman took " him down to the Court. afyt an early hour the populace had already col- lefled in immense numbers, and every avenue to the Court was occupied. By nine o'clock the Comt was crowded in every corner. The Mar. cjuis Weltesley took his seat on the Bench, beside the Recorder. Mr. Alderman Combe was seated on the same bench in virtue of his office. Besides the Marquis Wellesley, we observed the Duke of Clarence on the Bench, who entered with the L< rd Mayor. A great number of Members of Parliament, and among others Sir Francis Bur- dett, were in the body of the Court. The judges who . took their seats on the Bench, were Sir James Mansfield, Barons Graham and Smith, and Mr. Justice'Heath. As soon as the Judges had taken their sears, the prisoner- was brought in. He was heavily ironed on each leg, and advanced- firmly up. to the front of the bar, where he bowed respectfully to the Court. He was dressed in a shabby brown duffle great coat, buttoned close up to his chin, so as to render his neckcloth, which was dirty, scarcely p/ ceptiblc. He placed his hands upon the bar, arid stooped forward as if to listen with great attention to what Was passing. A Special Commission from his Royal High, ness the Prince Repent, for his trial, in which the a^ ove Judges v- pre named, was then read,,' Mr. At. tiT. tii « Counsel, here stated to the Court, that he intended to move for the postponement of the trial, and was prepared with affidavits for that purpose, which he re- quested might be read Mr GAKROW, for the Crexvru REP'Y. denied that any iiistance haj! ever occurred in praflice of, any rporion being made for postponing trial, until the prisoner had plead- ed gwlty » r not gt'hy- -', The Court having decided in favour of Mr. GarrowV suggestion, the indiflme- nt was read by the Cleric of Ar- rsigim. It Was, as Usual, a technical description of the cir- cumstances attending the rnur r. The Prisoner was then informed by the Recorder that now " was the time to plead to his indiiSment; upon which he bowed respectfully to the Court, and addressed them as follows, ill a distinff and articulate manner: " My I oVP » — Before I can plead to this indictment, t Wiist state to the Coort that I am peculiarly situated, and phced under extraordinary circumstances. It so happens that my prosecutors are the witnesses against me. Ail the documents n.- ce » sary r* 1y deft- rics were taken from me when I was first committed. It is only two days since I got porice from Mr. l. ichfifld, of the Treasury, to prepare for tny* trial, and. when I asked from hitli the documenn. which were taki n from me, he told me that they would be delivered up to me alter the trial; now, my l. ords, that would be a time when they would be wholly unnecessary for nly justi- hcatihn. I am, therefore, hot ready to go to trial."— Here j the prisoner onta more bowed to the Court. Sir; J* ME8 MA NIrIr. I., after the Prisoner had concluded, desired the Recorder * o k the Prisorur simply whether he wasguilty or not guilty of the crime charged ? The Prisoner then sard, in a frfm tone, " Not gliilty " To the other usual question,—" How will you be fried he answered in an equal distfrljft manner—" By God and my Country." The Jury were about to be called over, when Mr At- trv rose, and moved the Court to pes'potte the trial, upon the ground tbaf'tbe prisoner's friends, who resided at a dis- tance.- had not been made acquainted with hi- p- esent me- lancholy situatieii. and who could unquestionably prove the insanity of the prisoner. The Learned Counsel then pro- c » eded to state the substance of two afTidayits which he held in hiabmo. The first affidavit was from MaryRusrel., a female rela- tion of the prisoner, who had come suddenly to London from . South: moron, upon hearing of his crime.. This Lady stated tiut his insanity was a facSl. noroiions to all who knew him, ar. d that she verily believed, that if a Captain Barker, ® f the Militia could he bresght forward, that gentleman Cou! d' « pesk drciuisdly to the ( ail of the prisoner's del angemetit. The other affidavit was from a male relation of the pri- soner, and was to the same effedt as the former. , The A'I TuKMiY- Gi- AKit \ l contended, that this UMS a connivance merely to impose on and prevent the justice of the Court. He put it to the Court that the prisoner had been four months in town, tiansact- ; iug every species of business, and h « does not call any I of those to shew that he was in that deranged state, of mind they would describe. He adverted to the ob- sei vations made by prisoner himself respecting his pa- pers, from whence he deduced that the prisoner was in possession not only ol a sane but a masculine mind. Mr ALLEY in reply maintained that the prisoner was entitled to have his trial put off. With respect to the circumstance of not procurihg those in town to testify to his insanity, he said that every effort was used to procure the attendance of such persons, as well as Drs. Simmons and Munro; bi'tt that One I stated the impossibility of ins appearance to- day, and 80 answer from the other. - j The Couttriien- consulted for a short time, and Sir JAMES MANSFIELD pronounced the judgment of the Court, and said, that the affidavits were not sufficient to induce them to put off the trial, particu- larly as they did not specify what induced the priso- ner to go to Russia, and how he has been occupied since his'return, and how his mind has been regarded since his return, now two years. The motion was therefore refused, especially as neither. of tfie affida- vits did state that at tfie time when the crime was committed, he was insane. He was then arraigned, and , at the arraigning Was allowed to challenge any of the jurors. ( The Jury were then impapnelled— seven having been previously challenged— a circumstance very unusual on the part of the Cr, own. ... The indictment was read, and Mr. Abbot opened the pleadings, stating, that John Bellingham had com- mitted the crime o£ murderihg tile Right Hon. Spen- PcrcevA The ATTORNEY GgNKRAMhen addressed the Jury. He Began by saying, that the painful task devolved On him of calling the attention of the Court and Jury to the case of the prisoner, tie conjured them to consider, that justice and not vengeance was the. ob- ject of this prosecution. He adverted to the prison- er's life and habits, and on the soundness of his mind in every transaction of his life, being selected by others to transact their business, as well as manifesting and exercising a complete knowledge of his own. He went some years ago to Russia from a House in Li- verpool, and there, whether by his conduet or mis- condct, he could not say, but he was imprisoned, on which he applied for redress to Loid G. L. Gower and Mr. Sha'pe; but they coald not interfere with the Government there, arid., he afterwards returned vhehs/' tnd went iajto business, and found persons to join him-, ami- employ him, in Liverpool, as well to manage hi# cWrt, as to conduct their affairs. Then he took it into bis head that lie was entitled to remu- neration from Government here. But no foundation being establish" d that could warrant their considera- tion of him, his claim was rejected. He then endea- voured to appeal to Parliament, but no person could lie found who would undertake the task, conceiving that he had not the least claim to relief from Pailia. ment. He then applied to Mr Perceval himself, who found that lie had not just giound of claim, and, of course, resisted his suit. From that moment the de- sire of revenge arose in his mind, and murder was the crime he resoived on. He has been resident in this city for four months, and the whole of that time has been occupied in preparing himself for the horrid act. He informed himself of the time when Mr. Perceval was in the habit of going to tlie House of Commons, he provided himself with pistols, balls, ammunition, and even had an alteration made in his dress by the addition of a pocket extraordinary to contain one of the pistols. He placed himself in such a situation as was best calculated not only to commit the crime, but also to elude the possibility of prevention ; for he took lire station immediately within the outer door of the lobby, a spot precisely suited to meet every Member as he came in. ,1s he, or is he not, guilty of the hor- rid assassination, is the simple question for the Jury ? In adverting to the bloody deed, the Attorney- General noticed the manner in which the prisoner conducted'himself to shew that he was always compos mentis, and completely so at the time that he com-, mitted the foul murder.. From these topics the Learned Gent, adverted to the wicked machinations in planning the crime. He then appealed to the good sense of the Jury to say whether, because the course of a- Vnan's life was rational when the atrocious- ness of the act was Such as to induce men to think that nothingbtlt a" madman would commit it This lie maintained should not : be concluded. Be- cause he had done this one act, which was an act of madness, was it to be inferred that he was, deranged, merely because he had committed so atrocious a deed, that no one else would have committed it? If so, then the consequence weuld- be, thai ( lie fiingnitufie of crime mould hi an apology for it. The Learned Gentleman then stated the Jaw of the case, as it applies to saneand insane pei sons, clear- ly demonstrating that the cognizance of right and . wrong was that alone which the law regarded as> the ' Criterion by. which it. considered pej sons responsible ito' the law for their acts, distinguishing between cri- minal and civil incapacity, and this reasoning he ap- plied to the prisoner, adding that a man may be inca- pable of managing his own affairs, that it may even be deemed expedient to deprive him of the po . ver of ma- naging them, yet that man is not thereby discharged from his criminal aets. He said this on the autlio- it. y el'the. first sages who hit! written im criminal law, and who laid down,, that a man, though incapable of conducting his civil affairs, is criminally respon- sible rf he has a mind capable of distinguishing be- tween right and wrong. Theie had been cases, two of which, as the most prominent, he should notice.— The first was that of Mr. Arnold, for the attempt to murder Lord Onslow, in IT'-' H. The defence set up was, that Arnold was out of his mind, and several witnesses proved that he was to a certain extent inca- t . p,: b! c even from his childhood, every act of his life shewing a deficiency of understanding, and that lie was not capable of managing either other people's affairs or his own. But it was proved that he had taken up a causeless resentment against Lord Onslow, had made preparations for the deed, and it was held by the Judge, that notwithstanding, his deficient un- derstanding, if he could distinguish between light and • wrong, he was answerable. The Jury found him guilty and lie was executed. The other case was that 6f Lord Ferrers's Steward. He had taken up ah un- founded suspicion against him, and lvad resolved upon putting the unfortunate man to instant death. He nude preparations, sent for him to his house, put every other person out of the way, took him into a private room and shot hiin. It was proved that he was frequently insane, that mar. y of his relations had died insane, that his Solicitor was so convinced of his insanity that he refused to act for him. Medical men swore he was insane, his relations declared that thev would have taken out a commission of lunacy, but were afraid pf their motives being mispresented. His Peers, all the Peers of the kingdom, declared with one consistent voice that he was guilty, arid he was executed. These cases the Attorney- Gem ap- plied to the present, maintaining that if even insanity in all his other acts had been manifest, yet the syste- matic correctness with which the prisoner contrived the murder of Mr Perceval, shewed a mind nt the time capable of distinguishing right and wrong.—- He concluded by expressing his satisfaction, that this was an act not connected with any other person, but confined solely to the prisoner at the Bar. The evidence was precisely what has already been laid before the public in the proceedings be- fore the House of Commons. Mr, William Smith, M, P. Mr. Lynt), Mr. Burgess, and Genera! Gascoigne, deposed to the fails already before the public. Mr. James, taylor, gave evidence, that at the desire of the prisoner, he made a side pocket, supposed to be for his pistol hi his coat. Mr. John Norris swore, that ha saw Bellmgham watch- ing for Mr. Perceval. Vicary, the Rowvstreet officer, produced a pistol key, and various articles belonging to the prisoner, found at his lodg- iogs- ' „ Mr. Newman and Mr, Bowman proved the eoat, with the side- pocket, to have been worn by the prisoner since his commitment. Mr. Home and General Gascoigne laid before the Court the papers taken at the time Hellingham was seized. THE DEFENCE. The Court then inquired of the prisoner, if he had any thing to say in his defence, to which he replied in the fol- lowing words;— " Gentlemen ef the Jury— I feel under great obligations to the learned Attorney- General for setting aside the objec- tion made by my Counsel oil the plea of insanity, because - it is far more fortunate for me that such an assertion should he unfounded, than that it should be established.

Circumstances justify every thin?, and T. have now to unfold to you a " scene of oppression and iniquity, es- tablished by original documents laid before Maiqnis Wel- lesley, which, if not so proved, * ottld have been in fo< 5t re- ally incredible. - The learned Attorney- General has candid- ly stated to you, that up to this time, when the fatal catss trophe took place, which is a matter of sincere regret to no man more than to myself, not even excepting the family of Mr Perceval he has. no imparation against me. I hope- I shall no ™ be able to set the affair in' its triie light " Fur eight years I have been persecuted, and driven at last almost to despair. I had absolutely a carte Uanche fpbAi Government to pursue any steps I thought pioper ; in con sequence of that I am how before yofi-'— I am unexpectedly called to judgment, though fotseight years I have been en- able to obtain judgment " or justice Irom Government." , The prisoner then proceeded to transactions commencing in 1804, at which period he went to Russia for the purpo « e of conducing mercantile concerns. He stated his arrest at Archangel, his journSy to Petersburg, his applications to Sir Stephen Sharps, and Lord 1. GOwer, co obtain his release from confinement, upon a charge which the prisoner alleged to be f, dse, of giving information to Lloyd's Coffee- house, regarding the loss of the ship Si jus. He afterwards went on at great length to detail a j' ear number of circumstances of oppression, and of ignominy. With which he was treated, in Russia, without being able to tihtiiu the slightest redress, notwithstanding his repeated applications to the British Con- sul- General and Ambassador. His case was subsequently censidered J » y the Senate, which at length being worn out with persecuting him, permitted him to depart, extoiting from him, however, a very large sum of money. Through- out the whole, he insisted strenuously, as a point of great importance, that his case was a national concern, and that the nation ought consequently to have remunerated him foi his losses, as well as for his personal sufferings— He ap- pealed to the Jury as men, as fathers, and as Christians, what would have been their sensations, had they been so imprison- ed, while his wile, who was then pregnant, and his child, were compelled to proceed to England from Russia with- out a friend or a proteftqr. He read to the Court a vast v riety of petitions, memorials, and other documents, . to the Prince Regent, the Treasury, the Ministers, the Privy Coun- : cil, and the Parliament, stating his case, as well as the re- i fusals from all these quarters, to grant him assistant*. His misfortunes he atttibuted. mainiy to Sir G L Gower. ' and he observ d that it was air unfe tuuate thing that his Lord- ship had not entered the lobby before M:. Perceval, for with his Lordahip't death he should have beer, better satisfied. This last sentiment produced a very strong '' sensation, more particularly as Lord Gower was sift ng tuit- a short dis- tance Irom the prisoner, who looked hirrt fiercely in the- face Bellingham then went on to norice his fruitless applica- tion to Mr. Perceval,. whom he wished- ro rec. iinmeiSd it to, Parliament, but who refused. To whom, then; was it to be referred ! It was a national case, and to the Couneilof of the Nation he appealed. He afterwards Was batidfe'd from one public office to another,; was reduced to the Utmost dis-, tress, and without the means of obtaining a living for hlV wife and family, crying for food.

Before he it:-'' v--- d on the fatal aft, as a last expedient,' he thought it right. to. gLV. e. in- formation « t BoV » - street against his ' Majesty's" Government, stating that the course of justice had'ferj obstru& etf. The notice contained these words If this rtasonatde request be refused, I shall be obliged to jio jastice. tb'mysetf,> nd shall be prepared to argue that justification, Vhenevt- r and. H wherever it is necessary." Being told by Mr.' Read that ' he," could not interfere, he again applied to Mr. Ryder, and Mr. Hill gave him this reply, > « that he was at liberty to lake such measures as he though: rigwt>" In consequence of this kind of defiance he bad resolved to pei petrate the murder of one of tile individu ds by Whom he had bee; i so grievously inured. He solemrily assured the Court that if wal diCtat- j w persona! snunotity to Mr. Percetd. a. i,! that. hr wo[ jl IjuaVi- inve lotf hisown life than have been rtdues I'to - uch -/ hard mcessjtv. Whenever he reflected « p, » n the ?.< 3 lie cofti. 1 not help bursting ill o te fs.' The prisoner then proceeded to read a written deft- rice prepared last night* and this morning, in wbicfihe contended that be cstiid not be fuund guilty of murder, is no malice propense Jiad been proved to constitute felony. Justice, justice alone was his objeft, and distress had reduced hil « W despair. He was told that halted no claim upon the public money. He knew that this wa< false; and his great object Was to try whether Government was not bound to listen to a case of great national importance. Ministers had now to reflect upon the consequences they had brought upon them-' selves. He concluded in these word : — " A man who takes a few shillings frojn another on the high- way, is adjudged by law to die . but what toiiiparison • can there he between his case and that of the British Go- vernment, which has robbed me of thousands, and yet the latter goes unpunished ? It is ho more than a mite to a mountain. I have tuken this step, and a dreadful ' mie Tt is,' ! in order t » enable me, after your v « rdi&, to return to my family with some comfort and honour; and I trust that lj) e serious lesson given by me will be a warning to all future Ministers. I wiil not trouble you longer, being convinced' that it is unnecessary; ami after the law and the fatft shall have beef! stated by the Judge, it will, with God's help, re- main between you and your consciences to determine uptn my case." Tile Prisoner sat down in great agitation, but soon re- covered, aud refreshed himself by eatiug an orange, a chair having been given to him by order of the Court. His witnesses were then called in and examined by his Counsel. Mrs. Anne Billet deposed that the father of the- Prisoner" died mad, aud ifeu ever -- ince his return from Russia he had been considered insane upon this < ubje6t by all his friends. Oil one occasion lit.- took" the witnes* and his wife to the Se- cretary » f State's office, to convince them that he' shonld soon, receive .£ 10( 1,000 from Government. When he arriv- ed, he Was toid positively, that he ceuld get nothing; and yet, when he got into the street, he appealed to his wife as to the truth of his assertion, and declared be would buy an estate in the West of England, and a house in Lundon. Mr. Clarke had known Bellingham for seven years, and had always considered ' him deranged, particularly. since his return to England. M.? r. y Pidgins, servant to Mrs. Roberts, jvitb whom the prisoner J udged fo Lofldon up » the day of the assassination, swore that she had considered him not quite right in his understanding. Sir JAMES MANSRIELA then proceeded to charge the Jury. His Lordship commenced by impressing on them the necessity of putting entirely out of their minds all con- sideration of the high charadUr of the lamented Gentleman who had been murdered. The laws of the country held out their protection equally to the humblest and the highest sukjeCt of the State j and it was fsr the Jury to consider the fads, independently Of all personal considerations.— He then succinctly recapitulated the circumstances already detailed," and remarked thereon, Sot only that no circumstance of pri- vate injury, however aggravated, could . warrant any m « ! i ih" taking the law into his own hands, and taking away the life of an individual Neither could the plea of insanity be of any avail in " such a case, unless it could be proved that the prisoner, at the time he committed the aCf, was sd far de- ranged in his mind, as not to he capable of judging between right and wrong. The Jury, aftir retiring a ehott time, returned verdiCl— GUILTY. . | The RECORDER, at about a quarter past ail, proeeeded to address the prisoner.

THE KING, AT THE PKOMXU'ILON OF WM. CA MACK AG M VST JOIIK JOIIN'SOW This was indictment For provoking the pro- secutor to fight a duel. The case was stated by Counsellor Nackliri— after which he proposed to Mr. Johnson, if he made an apology that proceedings would be dr pped ; which Mr. Johnson declined. Mr. " tf'illium Camack, Distributor of Stamps for Londonderry, was then called and sworn Said he received a letter from the Commissioners of Stamps, desiring him to appoint a Sub- Distri- butor of Stamps at Magherafelt. That some time after, Mr. Johnson called on him with a letter from M*. Courtenay, Inspector of Stamp Duties, then charge at Magherafelt, recom- mending Mr. Johnson for the situation. After some conversation on the subject, he agreed to Rive Mr. Johnson the situation for some time ; but. in consequence of a letter he afterwards re- ceived from Mr. Courtenay, mentioning that the stock of stamps in Magber'felt was ordered to Dublin, he had changed his mind as to giving the stamps to Mr. Johnson, there being a defal- cation in the Chief Diyribu'or's accounts at Maghrr tfelt with the Stamp- Office, which he understood Mr. Johnson conducted as Deputy, and which Mr. Johnson did not fully explain to him. Some time afterwards be went to Maghera- felt, and appointed Mr. Chambers to the situation. During his stay at Magherafelt, Mn Johnson call, ed on him, when he told him he had changed his mind with respect to the stamps, and had given them to Mr. Chambers. Mr. Johnson said, he had a right to do with his own as he pleased, but hoped he would again change his mind.— The day following he received a letter from Mr. Johnson, when at dinner with Mr. Courtenay ; he shewed the letter to Mr. Courtenay, who replied- •" Short and sweet."— The letter was produced, and was in substance as follows- « Si a— I beg to know if you have again, changed your mind, and intend giving me the stamps as you promited;— if not, please say what time a friend of mine will see you in tbe morning.—- I am your obedient servant, " JOHN JOHNSON." To this witness returned no answer ; but see- ing Mr. Johnson on the street the next day, he went up to him and asked him why he sent wit- ness such a letter. He replied, he would send a iriend to him ; witness said he would not see him. Ch 1 for explanation, said Mr. Johnson ; witness it- id him to be quick. Witness then want to bid Mr. Courtenay good morning; and on his return met Mr. Johnson, and a Gentleman, whom he in- troduced as his friend, Captain Crawford.— Wit- ness shewed them into a room in the Inn, and asked Mr. Johnson what he wanted with him ? he said witness had treated him badly, had broken his word to him, and had behaved unlike a Gen- tleman— that his conduct was shabby, and that he would publish it to the County. Witness ask- ed if he meant by that to convey a challenge ?— No, said he, but you may take it as you pl- ase. Witness asked Captain Crawford if he intended to deliver him a challenge ? he said no. Witness then told Mr. Johnson that his words, coupled with his letter, would introduce him to the Jus- tices of the Court of King's Bench. Captain Crawford said, he hoped witness would not take that way of it, or behave so unhandsomely. Cross- examined by Mr. Knox. You recoiled Mr. Johnson calling on you in Derry ?— Yes. Did you promise him the situation he request- ed, and say you would send his name to the Stamp Office by that night's post ?— I did. Why did you not do so ?— As I stated before, he did not fully explain the nature of the defalca- tion, hut said he had settled his own account with Mr. Hamilton. Do you believe he had settled his accounts with Mr. Hamilton ?— I believe so. Do you not believe there might be a defalca- tion with rhe principal in the office at Maghera- felt, and Mr. Johnson, the deputy, have nothing to do tvith it ?-<- There might. Might not there be defalcation in your office, and your Sub distributor know nothing of it ?— There might. t Is it not ' usual for Sub- distributors of Stamps to settle their accounts with the Distributors, and not with the Stamp Office in Dublin ?— It is. In the letter yotl received from Mr. Courtenay, informing you that the stock of Stamps was or- dered to Dublin, which you say induced you to change your mind, was there any imputation thrown on the conduft of Mr. Johnson ?— None. Did Mr. Johnson offer you security for any trusc reposed in him ?— He did; they were Cap- tain Crawford of Castledawson, and his father. Did you make any © bje£ Hon to them ?— I did nob When you came to Magherafelt, did you tell Mr. Johnson you would not give him the situa- tion ?— I did not, until he called upon me. Would it not have been polite or civil, before you gave the situation to Mr. Chambers, to have acquainted Mr. Johnson of it ?— I did not con- ceive it necessary, as I informed Mr. Courtenay. Nnw, Sir, I ask you on your oath, did you not break your word to Mr. Johnson?— I changed my mind, as I thought it altcted the case, the Stamps in Mr. Johnson's possession being Ordered to Dublin, and not handed over to me, as is usual. I ask you again— did you, or did you not break yaur word to Mr. Johnson ?— I did not give him the Starrps as I had promised. If you had wished to have gone peaceably out of Magherafelt, why did you go up to a man in ( he stieet, who, you must suppose, was irritated at vou, and ask him, why did you send me such a letter? But you, as a professional man ( an At- torney). w'nmA to - licit as much from h; m, as would introduce him w\ the. Cr-. utt of. Kino's Bgnch ? He seemed as if watching me, and I levanted to know what he wanted. ( Here the prosecution closed; and no evidence being produced in defence, Mr. Curry, the Assist- ant B- triisrer, charged the Jury, pointing out the law, that if they believed the letter and language sworn, was used for the purpose of provokjjrg to fight a duel, they would find the prisoner guilty; on the contrary, they would acquit him. The Jury brought in a verdiit of Guilty.—- Sentence, Two Months Imprisonment. BELLINGHAM'S MEMORIAL. TO THE HOSOVRABLP THE HOUSF OF COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. THE HUM1H. F. PETITION OF JOHN BF. LLING- HAM, OF LIVERPOOL, MERCHANT, SHEWEtH— That in the year 1804, yrfur Peti- tioner went from this countiy to Archangel, in Russia, for mercantile purposes; and having dis- patched his vessels and all his other affairs there, your Petitioner took out his Petiosnick from the Governor- General on the 15th November in the same year, for the purpose of returning home by the wav of St. Petersburgh. Th* t as your Petitioner was on the verge of departure, he was seized, dragged out of his K- t- bitky, and thrown into prison, in consequence of in Affidavit of a person named Solomon Van Brie-' en, declaring your Petitions to be indebted to himself and others a sum of money, when no such circumstance did, or ever hac( existed. Your Petitioner dtclares, that this Mr. Solomon Van Brienen was one of the owners of a Russia ship, called the Sojus, that was wrecked the pre- ceding autumn in the White Sea; and that he committed this perjury with a view to obtain an irregular Insurance out of Lloyd's Coffee- house on the said vessel, on the supposition that your Petitioner had communicated the circumstances attending her loss to Lloyds, which he never had done ; the truth whereof, all parties were after- wards convinced by the result of inquiries from London— Had the supposition regarding your Petitioner proved true, this masked detention was intended to be dropped, and he was to have been prosecuted for the amotmt of the insurance on the Sojns, which the Underwriters at Lloyd's refused to pay. It so happened, that a Mr. Popoff, ano- ther of the owners of the S" jus, was Mayor at the time, and by virtue of office, President of the Ma- gistracy : in this way, the Magistrates took cogni- zance of so extraordinary a proceeding. So unhappily circumstanced, your Petitioner wrote the particulars to Sir Stephen Shairpe, as also to Lord Granville Leveson Gower, his Ma- jesty's Consul and Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, praying their interference to obtain an order for him to proceed on his journey without further mo- lestation. To which application, Sir Stephen Shairpe replied— He had by that post written to the General Governor of Archangel, desiring your Petitioner might be immediately liberated, if not fegally detained. Some weeks passed on without - T\ V thing beinir done;— Your Petitioner applied again to bmh Consul and Ambassador; to which application Sir Stephen Shairpe answered—" That ' he General Governor had replied to t' is letter, stating your Petitioner to have behaved verv in- decorously, and that he was leg 11 y detained." — When the fad is, he was patronizing Mr. Van B'ienen in the proceedings before slat d. Lord Gower also replied to your Petitioner's applica- tion, saying, " That, in consequence o' what the Genera! Governor had written to Sir Stephen ShairDe, he was precluded from making applica- tion in his behilf; but if yotrr Petitioner could bring forward any proofs of irregularity in the bu- siness, he would then adt as the case might require." The proceedings were of so impure a nature, and of such public notoriety, that the Procurer of Archangel immediately after this correspondence, reported to the Minister of Justice at St. Peters- burgh, " That your Petitioner was extremely ill used, and that he was illegally detlined." It appeared afterwards th. it Sir Stephen Shiirpe read the said Report at Prince Lapuchin's the Minister of Just'C", on its arrival at St. Peters- burgh, but of which Report no notice was ever taken ; and, although yopr Petitioner m ' de sub- sequent and frequent applications to the C msul and Ambassador, yet not the smallest answer was ever returned to his entreaties. The Procurer also forwarded a copy « f bis Report to Prince L^ tpu- chin, but with no better juccess. After a durance of six months, your Petitioner ~ as liberated, when he proceeded to St. Peters- burgh, with ' very requisite voucher of the Ge - e- ral- Governor's letter, and ® f the ill treatment he had sustained. Your Petitioner, on his arrival at St. Peters- burgh, found it necessarv, in behalf of his injured reputation, to impeach General Furster. the Mili- tary Governor of Archangel, to Count Kotzebue, the Minister of Justice, on three counts, to wit: — Ist. For having sanctioned Mr. Solomon Van Brienen in an improper oath, knowing it to be so. 2d. For having written an untrue account of the affair to Sir Stephen Shairpe, his Majesty's Consul, for the purpose of preventing justice. Sd. For causing him to be thrown into a loathsome mili- tary prison, for the purpose of extorting from him a sum of money, with a view to colour the transaction, and thereby pave the way to a justification of his own conduit, and that of others. Count Kotzebue had the matter investiga'ed through the Chief Government Court at Archan- gel, and finding every allegation to be correft, he furnished your Petitioner with a document to be carried into the Senate, together with his com- plaint, and vouchers, for the purpose of obtaining an indemnification for his sufferings, according to law. The affair afterwards went into the Senate through Lord Gower, by virtue of an Imperial Ukase. That although your Petitioner'sT- ijiie was irre- futable, yet the Senate, instead of answering to your Petitioner's complaints, or redressing his grievances, patronized the proceedings, and in consequence had your Petitioner arrested and im- prisoned on various erroneous allegations, the er- roneousness of which their own Courts were after- wards obliged to furnish official testimony ; after having tortured your Petitioner for a series of years, sometimes by clojely confining him in a loathsome prison, at others condemned to a dun- geon, to He kept oa breayd and water, often march- ed pubKcly throti jf?) the City with gan£ s of ftlons and criminals of the worst description, and even then by the house Of his Majesty's resident; at best, he was never suffered to go out but like a person Under serious criminal arrest, and was the objefl of attention, not only of all the Foreign Ministers resident at the Court, but of the public at large, to the great disparagement of his Majes- ty's Crown, and the heat t- rending humiliation of himself. Through the whole course of these proceedings your Petitioner made innumerable applications to the Consul and Ambassador for an appeal to the Emperor on such a national disgrace, and was not only uniformly reje& ed, but the Consul went so far as to assert the proceedings to be right. Thus, without having offended any law, either civil or criminal, and without having injured any individual, in this manner was your Petitioner bandied from one prison to another, through the various ministrations of Lord Grenville Gower, Mr. Stuart, the Marquis of Douglas, and Lord Gower Leveson Gower's second Embassy, and two years subsequent thereto, f That during this period a dispute happened be- twixt a Captain Gardener, of Hull, and the Cap- tain of the guard- ship, on a squabble of only two roubles for pilotage, which trifling affair was car- ried to the Em- etor no less than four times by his Majesty's Minister within the space of two months, while your Petitioner's case was sedu- lously suppressed, although the honour of both countries was materially concerned in the issue. That previous to Lord Gower quitting St. Pe- tersburg!) the last time, your Petitioner waited upon his Lordship, and also upon Sir Stephen Shairpe, urging the nationality of the case, and praying for an appeal to the Emperor, as both law and justice required, when your Petitioner was, for the last time, positively denied, through Mr. Rick, hit Lordship's Secretary, who said, his Lordship could not do it. Thus both the Consul and Ambassador left St. Petersburgh, leaving your Petitioner the objefl of persecution, without any aid whatsoever. At length the Senate, being tired of its own proceedings, your Petitioner was furnished with a pass to quit Russia in Oftober, 1809, which afl was a declared judgment in your Petitioner's faVdilr, and a proof that the Senate must have revoked its own Uk. lei That on your Petitioner's return to England, he made a representation of his case to Marquis Wellesley, furnishing the original Russian Ukases, and other Vouchers, confirming the truth of every allegation here stated, praying redress. That your Petitioner's case and documents were investigated by his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and found to be perfeflly correfl. That in consequence of the peculiar and over- whelming hardships of the case, combined with its nationality, your Petitioner was induced to apply to the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury for relit f, which relief their Lordships were unable to grant. That your Petitioner, by this long- continued series of cruelty and oppression, h. ts not only had his heilth and reputation materially injured, with the loss of his business, but his whole pronerty has been absorbed in supporting t, he expences and making good the consequences of the proceedings, leaving him at present considerably involved. That your Petitioner pledges himself to prove, at the Bar of your Hqnonrable House, the fafts stated in this his humble Petition, if he shall be permitted so to do. Your Petitioner humbly conceives, that hiving undergone such a series of persecution, solely on accouht of his having applied for redress for the injnrv sustained by the letter of General Furster, the Governor- General of Archangel, to Sir Ste- phen Shairpe, hereinbefore stated, he piesnmes it renders the affair of national import, as such— and that the Consul and Ambassador having neglected and declined interfering in bis behalf with the Em- peror, which your Petitioner is of opinion they ought to have done, your Petitioner therefore humbly thinks, that in justice he is entitled to sa- tisfiflion for the damage he has sustained from the Government of this country. Your Petitioner, therefore, most humbly prays your Honourable House to take into its con- sideration your Petitioner's case, and recom- pence your Petitioner for the losses he has aftually sustained, in consequence of the cir- cumstances hereinbefore stated, with a com- pensation for his personal sufferings, as your Honourable House may judge right and proper. And your Petitioner will ever pray, & O. See. & c. JOHN BELLINGHAM. London, Feb. 28, 1812. ( Copy— No. 1.) Whitehall, Feb. 18, 1812.

CIRCULAR TO THE MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT, EN- CLOSING THE ABOVE. SIR— Having suffered in a most unprecedented manner, for a" period of sxi years, in Russia— on my return, two years ago, I made a representation of the case to the various departments of his Ma- jesty's Government, and in January last I applied for redress, by Petii'on, to his Royal Highness the Ptince Regent, who was graciously pleased to refer the affair to his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council.—( See Letter, No. 1.) The Coun- cil declined to ai3 in the business, upon which I requested an official copy of their Lordships' de- cision— and was answered by the Clerk of . the Council, it could not be complied with. In con- sequence, I renewed \ ny application to his Royall Highness the Prince Regent, accompanied by the enclosed Petiiion to the House of Commons, pray- ing his Royal Highnes.;, that as the affair is purely national, he would be graciously pleased to diredl my complaint to be brought bsfore Parliament— to which Petition I received the answer ( No. 2.) Having borne the weight of this unhappy affair abroad for a series of years, in a manifold way— on my return home I had ihe mortification to Snd my affairs gone to ruin— my property sold up— my family distrafted, ind suffering in the most severe manner by the inevitable ruinous " conse- quences of my detention— and for the preceding two years they had not bean able to ascertain whether I was alive or dead. Since my return I have not only been bereaved of a further property ( bequeathed in my absence), to make good the eonsequences of this business, but am now con- siderably involved— so fatal has it proved. Thus circumstanced, I trust I shall be pardoned in ad- dressing the tiouse of Commons, individually, in the hope that, on the behalf of material justice, some Member will dp me the favour to bring for- ward my said just . Petition— as common justice is all I solicit, and what every one will agree I ought to have, more especially as my sufferings for the last eight years have btfen almost too great for human nature to sustain. In soliciting your kind aid, I beg to be under- stood, thai: it is far from my intention, by this ad- dress, to complaitr of any party whatever, being convinced that in no coUntry upon earth is justice so purely administered as in this; and justice I am sure I shall have, so soon as the affair is known at the Tribunal where alone can be taken proper cognizance of. With assurance that my sole wish is to obtain what is right, without prejudice to any individual, ! 1 have the honotlr to be, Sir, your very humble and obedient servant, JOHN BELLINGHAM.
