WAR DEPARTMENT. operations against the forts in Salamanca) on the heights extending from the neighbourhood of Vil- lares to Morisco ; and the advanced posts of the cavalry and infantry retired upon the army in good order, and without material loss. The enemy remained in our front on that night, and during the 21st, and during that night they established a post on our right flank, the posses- sion of which by them deprived us of an advan- tage which might eventually be of importance. I therefore requested Lieutenant- General Sir Thomas Graham to attack them in that post on the 22d, with the troops on the right, which, he did with those of the 7th division, which were the reserve of the right, under the command of Ma- jor- General Hope, and Major- General de Bern- witz. The enemy were driven from the ground im- mediately with considerable loss ; our troops con- ducted themselves rematfeblv well in this affair, which took place in the view of every mail of both armies. The enemy retired during that night ; and on the following evening they posted themselves with their right on the heights near Cabesa Vel- losa, and their left on the Tormes at Huerta ; their centre at Aldea Rubin. The object of the ensrtiy in this movement being to endeavour to communicate with the garrisons in the forts of Salamanca by the left of the Tormes, I changed the front of the army, and placed the right at St. Martha, where there is a ford over the Tormes, and the advanced posts at Aldea Lingua. I seiit Major- General Bock's brigade of heavy dragoons across the Tormes, in order to observe the passages of the river; The enemy crossed the Tormes at Huerta about two o'clock of the morning of the 21th, in considerable numbers o'f civalry, infantry, and artillery ; and there was every appearance of a general movement iri that direction. The con- duct of Major- General Bock's dragoons was con- spicuously good upon this occasion ; they did every thing in their power to mike known the enemy's movement, and oppised their advance vigorously, under many disadvantages, in order to afford time for the dispositions necessary to be made on the occasion. As soon as I was certain that the enemy had crossed the Tormes, I requested Lieiiten. int- Ge- neral Sir Thomas Graham to cross that river with the 1st and 7th divisions; and I sent over Major- General Le Marchant's brigade of caval- ry ; and I concentrated' the remainder of the army between Morisco and Cabierizas, keeping the advanced posts still at Aldea Lingua. At about noon the enemy ldvanced as far as Calva- rissa de Abaxo ; but, observing the disposition made for their reception, they retired again in the afternoon to cross the Tonnes to Huerta ; and they have since remained in the position which they occupied on the 23d. The siege of these forts has not advanced with the rapidity which I expected ; although, from the pains taken, and the expence incurred in their construction, I was prepared to meet with some difficulties, and provided an equipment accord- ingly, the difficulties are of a formidable nature, and the forts, three in number, each defending the other, are very strong, although not of a re- gular construction. We have breaches open in the convent of St. Vincente, which is the principal work ; but these cannot be attacked in security till we shall have i possession of Fort St. Cayetano. Major- General Clinton made an attempt to carry that work by storm on the night of the 23d instant, the gorge having been considerably damaged by the fire " of our artillery. This attempt unfortunately failed, and I am concerned to Sdd, that Major- General i Bowes was killed. He was so eager for the suc- ces of the enterprise that he had gone forward with the storming party, which consisted of a part of his brigade, and was wounded ; and after his first wound was dressed he returned again to the attack, and received a wound which killed him— Our loss in officers and men was likewise considerable. By a letter from Lieutenant General Sir Row. land Hill, of the 22J, I learn that General Drouet considerably reinforced from Andalusia, defeat of General Bdlasteros at Bornos. the beginning of the month, and had advanced as far as Aimendralejo and Villa Franca ; and LVutenant General Sir Rowland Hill had con- centrated his trriops. General Ballasteros had sustained a severe Joss, in his adion at B^ rnos on the 1st of June ; and I understand that he retired to the neighbourhood of Gibraltar. In the North, General Santocildes, under the direflion of General Castanas, has invested Astor- ga with the Gailician army, and is about to at. tack that place ; in which operation I imagine that he cannot be interrupted. The Guerrillas are in unmolested possession of all parts ot the country, and the en- my" s weak and scattered garrisons are cut off from all com- munication -. ith each other, or with the country. P. S. I enclose a return of the killed, wounded, and missing, from the 16th to the 24> th instant in- clusive. DOWNIXO- STKEET, JULY 20, 1812. Dispatches, of which the following are extraifts, and a copy, have been this day received at Lord BATHURST'S Of- fice, addressed to the Earl of Liverpool, by General Earl * f WELUNOTOM. dated 25th and 80th June, 1812. Salamanca, June 25, IR12. Marshal Marmount collected his army on the Douro between the 16th and 1.9th inst. with the exception of Gen, Bonnet's divisions which, I be-* lieve, is still in the Asturias, and some small gar- risons, and he moved forward from Fuente Sa- buco on the 20th. I formed the allied army* with the exception of the troops engaged in the Fuente la Pena, June 30th; 1812. The ammunition to enable us to carry on the a't. ick of the forts having arrived at Salimanca iii the afternoon of the 26 h, the fire was immediate- ly recommenced upon the george of the redoubt of St. Cayetano, in which a praClicable breach was effeCled at about ten o'clock on the morning >{ the 27th, and we had succeeded nearly about ti e same time in setting fire to the building- in the large fort of St. Vincente, by the fire from wh'ch the approach to Si. Cayetaso by its gotge was de- fended. Being at Salamanca at this rrioment, I gave di- refli > ns that the forts of St. Cayetana and La Mer. ced should be stormed ; but some little delay oc- aurred, in consequence of the commanding officers i .. • . ^ • of those forts iri the first instance, and afterward* the commanding officer of St Vincente, having expressed a desire to capitulate after the lapse of a certain number of hours; As it was obvious that these propositions were made in order to gain time, till the tire of St. Vincente should be extinguished. I refused to listen to any terms, unless the forts should be instantly surrendered; and having found that the Commanding Officcer of St. Cayetana, who was the first to offer to surrender, was entire- ly dependant upon the Governor of S\ Vincente, and could not venture to carry into execution the capitulations which he had offered to make, I gave diceflions that this fort, aild that of La Merced might Be stormed forthwith. ' These operations were effected in the most ga! lant manner by detachments of the 6 h division" under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel DavieS of the 36th regiment, under the direction of Ma- jor- General Clinton. The troops entered the fart of St. Cayetarid by the Gorge; and escalau'ed that of La Merced; and I am happy to add that our loss was hut trilling. The Governor of St. Vincente then sent out a flag to notify the surrender of that fort on the terms I had offered him, viz. the garrison to march out wnh the honours of war ; lo be prisoners of war ; and ihe officers to retain their personal rnili- tary baggage, and the soldiers their knapsacks; and notwithstanding that the 9th i igime. it of ca. sadores had aClually stormed one of the out- works of St. Vincente, and were in possession of it, I deemed it expedient to accept the fort by capitu. lati > n, on those terms, and to stop the attack I haze already informed your Lordship'that Mijor- G. tneral Clinton commanded the attack against these forts, which was carried on wi'h great vigour and abilf'r t a< d he mentions in strong terms of commendation the conduct of the general officers arid troops employed under his command, particularly Colonel Hinde of the32J Lieutenant- Colonel D ivies of the 3Sth, Captain O^ en of the 61st, Brigade- Major Hobar, and E'. sign Newton of the 32,1 regiment, who distin. gnished himself in the attack of the night of the 23 J instant, and volunteered to lead the advanced party in the attack of the 27th. A large expence had been incurred ; and thece works sufficiently garrisoned by about 800 men and armed with 30 pieces of artillery, were of a nature to render it quite impossible to take them, excepting by a regular attack ; and it was ob- vious that the enemy relied upon their strength, and upon their being sufficiently garrisoned and armed, as they had left in St. Vincente large de- pots of clothing aud military stores of every de. scription. 1 was mistaken in my estimate of the extent of the means which would be necessary to subdue these forts; and I was obliged to send to the rear for a fresh supply of ammunition j this necessity occasioned a delay of six days; The enemy withdrew their garrison from Alba de Tormes as' soon as they heard of the fall of the forts of Salamanca. The allied army broke up the following day and are this day encamped upop the Guarena. ' By accounts from Estremadura of the 26th in- stant, it appears that the enemy still continued in the position which they had occupied in Estrema- dura. I have not yet heard that General Santocilde has commenced his attack upon Astorga. Gene- tal Cabiera is at Benevente with his division ; and 1 understand there are Spanish troops in Leon. I have received no late intelligence from the South; I enclose a return of the killed ar- 1 wounded of the army since my last dispatch, and a return of the prisoners taken in the forts of Salamanca.

Owen, of th- Royal Marines, of the Leviathan, was detached to carry a battery of five 24 and 18- pounders, to the eastward, which he per- formed in a very sririted and judicious manner, the French Officer who commanded falling in the attack : the main body in the mean time rapidly advancing through a severe fire of grape, carried the'bgttery adjoining the town of Languillia ( con- r sisting of four 24 and 18 pounders, and a mor- j tar) though protected by a strong body of the : " enemy, posted in a wood, and in several contigu- ous buildings, v^ on the latter of which the guns I • were turned with much effect. The enemy were i now driven from the houses lining the beach, by the fire of the Eclair, and the boats then pro- 1 ceeded to bring out the vessels that were secured • by various contrivances to the houses and beach, their sails' and rudders being mostly removed on . shore, 16 were towed of ( as per enclosed list), which being accomplished, the marines were re- embarked in the most perfect order, under cover of the fire of the Eclair, and without molestation from the enemy, though a strong party was ad. vancing from the town of Alassia to reinforce thejn. I regret to state that our success has been clouded, and our loss on this occasion much ex- tended by an unfortunate accident which occur- red in landing the party ; the America's yawl being sunk by a chance shot from the only gun that could bear on the bpats, and before assistance could be afforded, I lament to say, ten marines and one of the crew were drowned. I have great satisfaction in the favourable report I feel it my duty to make of the Officers, seamen, and ma- rines employed on this occasion ; the gallant and able condnct of Capt. Rea, who commanded the marines, was very conspicuous, and he reports in the most favourable manner of Capt. Owen and Lieuts. Neame, Cock, Cardon, and Hill, and of the orderly good conduct of the whole detach, ment. To Capt. Bellamy I was much indebted for the handsome manner in which the Eclair was swept in, and the fire she kept up to cover and protect the troops and boats during their opera- tions. The ships being prevented by the light and baffling winds from getting close enough to act. The services of the boats in landing and embarking the troops, and ( being all armed with guns or carreriades)' assisting with their fire, and the expedition with which the enemy's vessels were brought out, does much credit to Lieuten- ant Richardson, first of this ship, who had the di- rection of them, as also to Lieuts. Molesworth and Moodie, of the America, and Dobbs and Hanibly, of the Leviathan, who were employed i • them. I cannot conclude without requesting permission to recommend to your notice Mr. J. Harvey, Master's Mate of this ship.— I have the honour to be. & c- ( Signed) JosrAs ROWLEY.

ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, JULY, 01. f 1 RAN SMiTTID BT Sia E. FltLtW.) Pilfct, off Cape PaHnuro, April 15. Having observed nine coasting vessels of the enemy hauled tip on the beach near the town ff Policas'ro-, I thought it practicable to take them off, by anchoring the Pilot close to the shore, which was immediately done, and her fire opened to drive away the armed force that was collected for their protection, and nearly at the ! same moment a party of seamen and the marines | vrere landed " under the direction of Lieutenant A. Campbell, assisted by Mr. Langlands, the Acting Master, and through their gallantry and exertions above 80 of the civic militia were obliged to re- tire, and were kept in chesk by the marines and small wm men, whilst the vessels were launched, which was fully accomplished in about four hours, notwithstanding they were hauled very high up and had been much stove by their crews. They proved to be ladened with oil, and were from Pezzo, bound to Naples. I have great plea sure in reporting that no person belonging to » lie Pilot was hurt in this affair, and which, from the enemy's having kept up almost a constant fire ot musketry from behind trees and hedges, is to be attributed to the able conduct of Mr. Langlands, who had the charge of t! » people in advance at small arms, and I trust y# u will make it known to the Rear- Admiral, as he is a youug man of great merit, and has repeatedly been recommend- ed for his conspicuous bravery— I have the hon- our to be, & c.

Thames, Sap. i, May 14. fiIR I this day, in company wiih the Pilot, a . tacked the port of Sapti, defended by a strong battery and tower, mounting two 32- p » undeis, with an Offieer and 38 men, which suriendered discretion, after being battered for two hours within pistol- shot ; but,' in consequence of their eattant defence, I allowed them ttfftm^ out w iih honuHis of war, but not to serve against us in this expedition. ' We found 28 large vessels on the beach, loaded with oil, some of them nearly a quarter of a mile in the country, all of which w.- re launched, and the battery in ruins before sun- se'. I owe much to the support T received from Captain Nicholas, who flanked the battery in a pjist judicious manner and afr<- rwards com- manded the launching, assisted my First l> nte nan', A. Campbell, an Officer of six years stand- in?, as well as Mr. Langlands, Afling Master of the Pilot, who, by his able disposition of the ma- rines who jv"- e under his command ( there being no Officer of that corps on board), ^ ept upwards of 200 armed peasantry in check, and had only one man wounded. The firing of both ships' com- panies was superior to any thing I ever saw, and their condutf on shore was no less praisewor- thy. Neither ship lost men on board : our bow- sprit wounded in three places is the only material injury we have suffered,— I have, & c. CHARLES NAPIER. T. F. Freemantle, Esq. Admiral of the Blue, & c. jfednesdan, July 22. SECOND EDITION—( STAR.) DREADFUL MURDER AT BARNES, SURREY. We have this day to record another of those atrocious outrages against human nature which have recently stained the annals of this country. The Count and Countess D'Antraigues, two foreigners of distinflion and great notoriety in the fashionable world, were last night savagely but- chered by their awn servant; who afterwards eluded the just vengeance of the law by putting an end to his own wretched existence ! It is a slight, and indeed but a sorry consola tion to learn, that the Monster who perpetrated this series of foul crimes, was an Italian Servant, who had been long in the employment of ihe Count and Countess. From the particulars which have transpired, It would appear that the villain watched an opportunity, when the Countess was in * room by herself, and rushed upon her with a pistol, which he presented, but it missed fire.— He then drew a pnignard, and plunged it to the hilt in her back, as she was struggling to escape from his deadly grasp* Her dying screams brought the Count D'An- fraigues into the apartment, where he beheld his Lady extended lifeless on her face at the feet of the assassin. The brutal savage then made at his roaster, and with one thrust of his poignard be- reaved him of life also ! But a few seconds intervened when the servants in the other parts of th4 house were alarmed with the report of a piste), ^ nd upon entering the apart- ment, the dreadful speftacle presented itself of three lifeless bodies drenched in blood, extended upon ibe floor.— The assassin was found wi h his brains blown out, and the pistol was still in his hand. Such are the particulars of this dreadful affair, as they have reached our ears. We believe the Count D'Antraigues once held the situation of Ambassador to this Court from a foreign So- vereign. He and his Lady were excellent private cbaraflers. We have heard of no cause for the perpetration of their horrid murders. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The dreadful catastrophe took pi Jfe this morn- ing, at eight o'clock. As ( he Countess was com. ing down stairs to enter the carriage for an ailing the footman fired a pistol at her, the shot fiom which lodged in the lower part of the abdomen. Finding that she did not drop, ( for she asked why he ffred a pistol in that rash manner.) he stabbed her in the left breast, as above described, when she instantly fell. He then proceeded up stairs, and, meeting his master, stabbed him also, in the back; after which he shot himself with another pistol.— The ball entered under the left ear, and he ceased to breathe in an instant. Count D'Antraigues is, as we unde stand, still alive ; the wound has been diessed, but he is not expeifted to live. f of provisions, 8cc. it is supposed th y would not * make any stand against the combined troops.— The letters from the army c me down to the 28tk ult. a d in some of them, it is said, that Lord Wellington was very sanguine of being in posses- sion of Madrid by the 4th of this month. A let- ter from Lisbon of the 5th says—' We have ac- counts that an expedition from Sicily, to the num- ber of seven or 8000 men, have made good their landing on the coast of Catalonia. Two fine re- giments, in excellent order, landed here last week, and are ordered to march for the armv of Lord Wellington, who is rapidly advancing. His lord- ship's army is estimated at 60,000 men, and that ; of General Hill, which is at Z ir'ra, at 20,000. The Gazette also contains the particular* uof some gallant achievements by our squadrons in the Mediterranean. ANTRIM SECOND DAY— 2.5TH JULY,. 1812.

In the preceding columns are inserted various interesting er rafts from the London Prints, which have reached us to the 22d inclusive. One mail remains due by Donaghadee, and also one by Dublin. The London Gazette contains the official de- tails of the recent operations of the allied army under Lord Wellington, in Salamanca and its vicinity. For the particulars, we must refer our Readers to the Gazette, from which it will be seen, that at one period there was some probabi- lity of a general engagement, but Marmont be- ing toiled by tlia superior manoeuvres of Lord Wellington, deemed it prudent to retire. The private letteis from Lisbon leave us, in doubt, whether his Lordship will pursue Maimont, or proceed to Madrid. Tbe French in the Spanish Capital- are said to: bp in great alarm at. the ad- vance of his Lordship, and being much in want turned away, not expefling so tar^ l a result, whe the Prisoner seized a large knife which lay in th(' shop, and stabbed ' he deceased in the back of his loin; of which wound he languished for a few days and then died. Shmuel Arrot, sworn.— Is a Surgeon, lives in Belfast, knows the house of Ca rol, a' butcher ; knew Charles Mo- re deceased ; saw him in wit. ness's house on 3d Sept. last, be had received a very deep incised wound, through the thick patt of the hip ; conceived it to be a very dangerous wound ; thinks he lived till the ninth day,.; at. end- ed closely ; has no doubt but it » • » <! the said wound which caused his death; surgeon Purdon and wit- ness disseiled the body, and found it mortified in- ! wardly. Cross- examined.— Mortification was inward ; was feverish and extremely debdilated before his death ; thinks it probable deceased might have i lived too freely after wound ; believed Deceased turned himself improperly in bed on one occa- ion ; [ h- id sanguine hopes of his recovery at one tim>.- ; Deceased might havfc had too much indulgence in his living after his wound ; these were allowed early; hopes continued till after those indulgences; has reason to think Decca- ed's potting himself in- to an improper position, brought on thy imme- diate cause of his death ; wound was five or six inchss deep, it might he more. Examined by the Cr » tm.— It appeared to be a dangerous wound at time he first examined it ; the bleeding was extremely profuse at first, but that being stopped, he appeared to be recovering, ( til within a short time of his death ; the mortifi- cation was do doubt occasioned by the wound, but the immediate causes of death was that mortifica- tion, and a second hemorrhage tfok piace. Henry Pnrdon sworn— Is a Suigeon ; lives in Belfast; is Staff Surgeon of his Majesty's forces in that distrid); held that situation in September last ; was then called in to attend Charles Moo're, deceased ; had seen him that morning in good health; then saw hirh in Surgeon Arrot's shop, lying on his back, with a very large wound above " the hip bone; appeared to be made with- a sharp instrument; conld not reach ihe fcottom of ii with kis h" » id ; had occasioned an immense effusion of blood ; did not at first know deceased, who was so altered by loss of blood ; saw body opened after death, by Surgeon Arrot; wound was G or 7. inches deep; a very large artery was cut; de ceased survived wound a few days; witness at" tended him, and prescribed for htm ; has no doubr that wound was occasiog of his death. Cross- examined— deceased was feverish ; heard that he had some indulgences; witness never had any hopes of his recovery ; examined body after death ; found a general mortification ; deceased sat up one day, which brought on a considerable effusion of blood, but this would have happened at any rale, in consequence of a suppuration ; ef- fusion of blood certainly weakened the patient. Thos.

Witness replied, " hu found it " ould. be » oo snoTi concluded for his purpose." Prisoner appear to be in liquor, but not otherwise disordered in his mind, as witness could judge. Witness had previously informed prisoner that hs was going to take Moore's examination. Here the evidence for the prosecution closed for the present. PRISONER'S DEFENCE. .

Here the evidence finally closed. The Learned Judge then, in a very luminous charge, impressed " pon the Jury the necessity of a particular attention to the evidence, as it bore upon ihe prisoner at t] y b- ir, both as to his having, committed the af! of which he stands charged; of that a£ l hav: ns; been the cause of the deceased's deaih, of which, his Lordship observed, he con- ce\- d they would h:- iv^ little doubt; but more e « , daily tespefling the state of tl-. e prisoner's mini at the ime, and all the circumstances con- riefled tbenw. ih, which were for their solemn consideration. His Lordship observed, that h' did not ihi k apy impression sht'tild be made on the minds of the Jury by the alledged absence of any witness on behaif of prisoner,' who certainly had sufficient ' ime since September last to pro- duce any witnesses whose testimony could be of service to h'in, - IKJI were such delays admitted, there " would he no end to it, and they would n « t- t- uial'y terid to frustrate . he ends of pnhlic justice. H: s Lor ' hip then evp- itiated up in the whole rnt- rits of the cis , observing the fa^ s were r. ot of a complex nature, but such as the Jury could readily Mtimate ) buT the manner and ci. cumstanees oi tiiote fa^ ls were such as demand, d their most se. lious a'ter.' ion. There was no evi ence whatever » ( any previous dispute, or irritation cft'ered ' to' prisoner, a id consequently n"> antecedent malice { i- o'. d exist in ihe mind of the prisoner, hut there c. d appear to l> e u hat the law terms imp'ied ma- lic-- t'o r in ; such implied malice evid- nets itself, among oiher wavs— by ihe use of a deadly wea- pon, and in this seu> e the evidence ju., titled the presuniju ion of such malice desiring the. death or serious injury ot the d ceased ; and if tuch an afl as this -- as done by a person in the c" mfjet,. nt use of his senses, then it was his duty to inform them that it did amount to afiual murder, and could not be deemed any inferior degree of homicide. He wi. uld be guilty of much injury to tocie'v were he not to tell ihern ihat the species ot de- rangement necessary to be proved in such cases, must be a tie fang:; meat of intellect, di- qualifying the subject from knowing what he did, and no. the results of intoxication, or of any other volun- tary a< 5 on ihe pan of the piisoner. There would be litilc security to society- if intoxication and iti consequences could be admitted in justification of murder. But there ii one point in the present case tor their consideration— it h » d been asserted, that the P. isoner at the Bar, hid received a hurt on his he* d, in his youth, out ot this they had no distinct evidence whatever. He had conduced his own business for twenty, years before, without apparent derangemen., and in the very aft of which he stands accused, he manifested a sane state of mind, although md" r Ute iirita'ion t>! ungovernab e passion. We la- ment our limits will not permit our following the Learned Judge through the whole of hii en- lightened Charge. The Jury, after re i. ing about ten minutes, reiuined a. verdia of— Guilty. The Cte- kof the Crown then addressed the pri goiter in the usual term—" You, Montgomery Brown, heretofore stood indided for- the wiitul murder oi Charles Moore, tor trial of which you put y > ur. self on God and your Countty, winch country have found yon guilty: whu have you now to say, » hy judgment of death and execution should not be awarded against you according to law i" Prisoner— My Lord, if I am guilty of ic I know nothing of it ; I had no malice to the gen- tlcmrn ; 1 did not know I acted the criai^." The Judge then addie , sed the Prisoner in near- ly the following terms :— " Montgomery Brown, you have been found guil- ty of mui der, on clear and most sati.- iactoi y . vi- dence. It is very true you b id uo previous malice to this unfortunate man. Your Jury ha^ e been told so ; but toey have found you guil. y. of infM- ing a m ortal wound, without the slightest provo- cation. It is proper that the equity of the law under which you suffer should be laid betore the eyes of this country.

You stepped between him and that Provi- dence, of that God. who alone, has a light to dis- pose of . human We ; and y. ot) are deprived of ihe Unavailing plea, ot uoconlcioustH- ssin tne commis- sion of this direful crime, unless your having no provocation is to be cousidei ed a proof of your madness. This was the- madness of wickedness ; and you have given vent fo your brutal tury in the sacrifice of this . inflSetf? man. I am now bound to tell - you, you" are to expedt no mercy in this world; heieyou have but a short time to live.

His Lord- ship then proceeded to pronounce the awiul sen- tence ot the law, in the usual » olemn terms, viz— • To be hanged on Monday, ( this day) and his body to be delivered to the Surgeons of tne County Jntiimary for dissedion. The Prisoner made no reply, but was silently removed to the Jail. MEAL MOB.

The evidence not bein^ derrnad competent to support the indictment, which contained a capital felony, his Lordship was proceeding to charge the Jury, when Mr. How was again called to support the indictment for a general riot— stred, there were four or 500 persons behaving outrageously as a mob s they were. bringing up the cart and meal.

On Tue- day last, however, a body, deprived of he head, was discovered by some country people in a bog at the foot of the hill, eovtred with earthen sods. The disappearance, for = o ne time, of a female servant, who had been employed in the neighbourhood, led to a suspicion, that she had been murdered, and an inspeflion of the clothes found on the body proved, that the sus- picion was fatally true.

ANTRIM ASSIZES. Further Particulars. CARRICKFERGUS, JULY 23. Daniel M'ATister, WiUiam Jf'Corlan, Roblrt Knox, and Owen M'Loisttr, aWmenioned in our last, were charged on several indiftmenrs with various bleach- green robberies, and Kath. M' Jester for receiving stolen linen. The first indiftment on which they were given in charge to the jury, was for robbing the bleachgreen of Messrs. M'Cance and Stouppe, at Glenville, between Belfast and Lisburn, in March last, and taking away five webs of l-. wn, and one web of linen cloth. The first witness examined, was Pat. Hamill. a watchman in M'Cance and S'ouppe's green, who deposed, that upon a night about the beginning of February, he missed si* webs out of the green, some of them were cambric webs. Cannot say at what hour they were stolen ; but is siKe thev were all in t' e green the preceding evening. Is no judge of lawn or cambric. Joseph Wolfinden deposed, ' hat " b- nt the be- ginning of the month of - Frbruarv last, went with the Prison^- " to " M'Cance and Stouppe's green. The party were seven in all. They carried away five webs of hwn, and one web of linen.— The cloth was laid across the foot of the green. Af- ter the robbery the party separated, and six of them got four weljs, and M'Alister and witness got two, one of lawn, and one oflinen. The rea- son for witness and M'Alister getting more than their proportion of th° booty was, that they had 9s. 9d. to pay for drir. k for the party. Some of the lawn they sold to M'Lernon for 6d. per yard ; nine yards were sold to Mich. Brenan, for Is. per yard. Brenan, however, afterwards gave lip the cloth, saying he would have nothing to do with it. A Mrs. M'Grotty got three yards for some beer ; and some more of it was sold to a woman named Kerr, for 10d. a yard. On his cross examination by Councellor Slack, witness said he had no other name; at M'Grotry's, however, he w?, s cabled ' Stephen Hungry. Robbed a good deal wf greens. Lodged informations when in jail in Carrick before last Assizes against prisoners, and also before that: to Mr. Hawkeshaw. On which occasion he told of many robberies— The party only took six webs from M'Canca & Stoupe's, because they thought they heard the dogs coming ; the beetlimr engine was also going that night. Had known Knox two or tjiree yars, lived near him, before he travelled to the County Tyrone. I- is not for the rewajds witness now comes forward ; Does not krvftv how wife and children are supported, or that they are supported by the prosecutors. Ir vras to prevent murder and robbery witness now comes forward, being tired of thxt way of life, and wanted to quit the conspiracy. Par'. iy, too, to save himself. Heard of regards for .^ formation, but never got any, and expefts nor. e^ Witness was in the Train, but left them no; '/ iking that way of life. Never served in any tuber regiment ; was not in the Derry Mi- livia ; was nst sworn in a deserter from the 49: h ; * in another regiment besides the Train, but ne- ver saw the number ; was tried by a Court Mar- tial at Bilfast, and flogged for desertion ; got one hundred lashes; was two or three days in the hospital from which he deserted the first opportu- nity. The reason for witness sweating against three of the prisoners, was because he heaid that one of them ( Knox,) had charged him with pas- sing through the turnpike with a stolen horse. Pat. JIr. mil fs-.- ixaminti!. Beetling engine was not at work on the night » f the robbery, nor were the dosis making any noise; the webs were taken from the green at ( he eist end of ihe grove; traced the footsteps of two ptrsons through the hedge and towards Belfast. William Thompson, Esq. produced a shut, made of half- bleached lawn, which was fonnd on the 1.5' h April,, in Roger M'Lernon's, Orange, row, Belfast ; M'Lemon Was not present when the shirt was found ; went to M'Lernon's on in- formaiion of Wolfenden. Witness is Treasurer to the Bleachers' Association ; never gave Wol- fenden any money, or promised him any; being told by the Jailer that Wolfenden was badly off, ordered him some milk, and gave £\ to his wife, who appeared in distress, Rofrer M'Lernon recol'efled Mr. Thompson shewing him a shilt in the field where he was at work; Mr. Sinclair was with Mr. Thompson ; did not tell any of them where he got the lawn for the shirt; says he bought it, but does not know where. The Rev. Dr. Cupples was called, to the cha- rafter of two of the prisoners— Has known Corken since the year 1793 ; he was biiletted as a yeoman in witness's house for three weeks ; never knew sation, however, recollnfted having heard some- any thing against him before the preset, t charge ; always considered him as an honest man. Knows Knox, who keeps the turnpike near Lisburn ; has been in that situation about two years, and is still in charge of the turnpike ; has seen him be. fore the turnpike board ; never heard any thing to his prejudice, and considered him as an honest man ; in the course of common conver- ting about a cow which was stolen by one Smith, and said to have been killed in Knox's house ; the rumour, however, was so vague, that it made rto impression on witness, who notwithstanding, con- sideted both the prisoners as trustworthy persons. The, Hon. Justice Fox, with great patience, re- capitulated the evidence, elucidating the whole with, much judicious rematk, and pointing out how far the law recognised the evidence of an ap- prover. His Lordship also, with the greatest hu- manity, diretScd the attention of the Jury to the highly respeftable testimony of Dr. Cupples, in favour of two of the prisoners.; observing, that if any doubt remained on their minds, they would allow the prisoners to have the foil advantage of it, and that it should be permitted to turn the scale in their favour. The Jury retired for some time, and returned with a verdift finding all the prisoners Guilty ; but after some observations fiom the Bench, Daniel Jlf'Alister, IVilltam M'Corlen, Robert Knox, and ( Jwen M'Lmster, were found Guilty- Kath. M'AHs- t, r, not Guilty. Daniel M'Alister, William M'Cerkin, and Robert Knox, were then indifted for steilin? a pair of blankets, the oropetty of Mr. Wolfenden, at Lam- beg, on the 31st December, 1810. Thomas Wolfenden deposed, that he lost a pair of blankets in February, 1810. and also a pair about December the sim » vear • on" pair was taken out of the mil!, and the other pair from the tenter, near witness's hous » ; these blankets had been milled, and were ready for drying ; the one now produced is similar in appearance and quality to those stolen in December. Had no mark on them before they were stolen. Joshua Wolfenden was also the chief evidence in this case. About Christmas was a vear, a party of eight, among whom were the prisoners at the bar, proposed to bre-> k into Mr. William- son's green, at Lambeg, in which purpose, how ever, they were disappointed, and on their way home, seeing the blankets on the tenters in Mr. Wolfenden's garden, thev determined to take them, in order, as witness said, to bear th*> ir ex- pences. After thev had taken the blankets they divided them, M'Alister and witness got one- half, and the other half was given to the remaining six, on the understanding that they should have a greater proportion on some other occasion ; it was a wet night; only one pair of blankets were on the tenters, and they beat the blanket*, with a pitchfork to take the rain out of it. At another time they also robbed the other blanket manufac. tory near Mr. Wolfenden's, frotw which they took two webs of blanketting ; witness has been £ on. cerned in seven or eight, if not more, robberies in the county of Antrim ; robbed also a bleach- green in the county of Tyrone ; was not r. ccused of many other crimes, except horse- stealing; was not commonly known by the njtne of Stephen Hungry; had no reason to change his name; was five years in the Train, frnrr, which he was dis- charged for being under- sij^ d, when he returned to the parish of Derriagby ; does not know what was the number of the regiment which flogged him - I Belfast; hi « wife told him she got one pound from Mr. Thompson ; witness lodged with Daniel M'Ali^ er, in Caddell's- entry, B.' lfast ; the above blanket was lodged in M'Alister's house; heard that M'Alister had sworn against him, and that Knox threatened to swear examinations against him for passing the turnpike with a stolen horse. M'Alister's wife brought three yards ot lawn into M'Grotty's, who would not purchase if, at last his wife agreed to hold it for beer they bad had. Aft r the finding of the lawn at the back of the Linen- Hall, witness wis taken into Mr. Ferguson's office, where he acknowledged all the business. ffm. Thompson, Esq. and Geo. Bristow, Esq. proved the finding of the blanket, as Wolfenden had described, in M'Alister's house. H. M'Gowan knows Joseph Wolfenden, aad heard him sworn in as a deserter. [ Here Wolfenden accused M'Gowan for steal- ing geese from Mr. Hunter.] Ellen Parkinson, sister to Daniel M'Alister, was in Lisburn, where M'Alister's wife bought a blanket, it appeared similar to the one now pro- duced. Wm. M'Grotty does not know Wolfenden, but knows him as Stephen Hungry, when he lived in Caddell's - entry with Danl. M'Callister ; went to Carrick jaol to recognise prisoners, but never saw Knox, Corkin, or M'Loid er, till he saw them there; Wolfenden ( or Stephen Hungry) was on one occasion, in witness's house with five others, who wanted cards, which witness peremptorily refused,' and finally took a poker and beat them out of his houss ; Wolfenden offered at one time to sell some linen or lawn to his wife, but witness refused, and took him by the collar and put him out; witness often saw Wolfenden with M'Al- lister, and told Mr. Thompson to search M'Al- lister's house well, for the stolen linen might pro- bably be found there; and said that M'Alister's wife was as bad as Wolfenden ; none of the pri- soners were ever in witness's house. Wm. Thompson, Esq. on going to M'Groity's, asked for Jos. Wolfenden ; M'Grotty said he did not know any of that name, but there was a Ste- phen Hungry, he supposed was the person he meant; M'Grotry recommended to witness to search M'Alister's house well. After an able and perspicuous charge from the Hon. Judge Fox, the Jury retired for a few mi- nutes, and brought in a verdict finding all the prisoners— G wily. PANEGYRIC ON THE GOUT. MR. EDITSR. Sin— Erasmus, as you remember, wrote an en- comium on Folly; and another great scholar, whose name I have forgotten, composed a sober panegyric on the benefits of Inebriety— two topics of praise, whose merits were likely to be generally understood, and dully appreciated, by a majority of mankind. But happening lately to have a se- vere fit of the Gout, it struck me that neither Fol- ly nor Inebriety could better deserve the enco ni- ums of the learned and ingenious ; and although I do not pretend to rank myself in either of those classes, yet having a little leisure on my hands, I know not that I can devote it to a more lauda- ble purpose than in attempting to rescue from un- merited obloquy an object worthy rather of im- mortal panegyric. Tn the first place, then, the Gout is allowed on all hands to lengthen life, and though most of us complain occasionally of the tcedium vita, yet, like the old man in the fable, we seldom really wish for Death but when he is at a distance. Add to which the Gout, like Aaron's rod, swallows up all other bodily disorders, and so puts us out of all fear of that long and terrible list of aches and maladies which we sometimes see subjoined to the recommendatory advertisement of a quack medicine. The chosen devotee of Gout may smile securely at the Bilious, laugh at Dropsy, and set Catarrah and Phtisic at defiance. Dr. Johnson, on surveying the splendid mansion and extensive domain bf some noble proprietor said, " All this shuts hut but one evil, poverty."— But how many blessings does it let in i" was the sensible reply. A directly contrary encomi- um may be passed 6ft the Gout, for even if it fchould not be allowed to be of itself a great g jod, yet let us consider how lhany ills are shut out by its presence. But this is, in truth. the smallest na t of its praise. " The grand and o- ci'. iar benefits of the Goot are, that it amazingly - nhances t- he value of lire's choicest blessings, health and friendship, and thar it is incomparably the bfst tVa- her we cm, have of the great Cardinal Virtues— Patience, Temperance, and Fortitude. For the first, I ne* d only observe how much all our pleasures depend on contrast, and how the most common thing's become sources of delitrht, when we have experienced their derivation. The sailor who has lost the use of one leg sets a double value upon ' he other, and the late Mr. Belcher, of pugi'isric celebrity, having hid one of his e\<*. knocked up in single combat, thought the remain- ing one too precious to be risked in another en- counter. It is only the beggar that can fullv ap- prociare all the j < vs which a shilling is capable of procuring, and wlin, having escaped the dangers of starvation, enjoys his crust of bread with a re- lish which venisoYi or turtle never gave. What pa'riot can so truly estimate all the blessings of liberty, as he " ho has unhappily experienced all the miseries of a jail. On which account, no doubt, it is that so many of our great political authors con'rive to write themselves into tempo- rary confinement. On the verv same principle, all the pleasures of life seem doubly de- ir to him, who has just reco. ver. » d from a severe fit of the Gout. What man so likely to relish the delights of the social as he who has for two or three months heen confined to the conversation of his nurse and his apotheca- ry ! The common power of locomotion become sources of aftnal enjoyment to one, whose travels for many weeks have consisted in a removal from one side of his bed to the other, or at most from the bed to the easy chair. These latter gratifica- tions, I am aware, are common to all convales- cents, after a long and serious illness ; but there value is greatly enhanced to the gouty patient by certain occasional twinges in the toe and oiher extremities, which, like the few morning drops succeeding a tempestuous night, serve to remind him more forcibly of the " pitiless pel'ing of the storm ;" now happily over, and to render the con- trast mors vivid between past pain and present pleasure. But after all, the most important advantages of the Gout are those of a moral description. The great orator, Tnllv, was at the'rouble of compos, ing an elaborate Treatise to recommend the prac- tice of the four Cardinal Virtues; hut. to say no- thing of his admirable prpcepts being locked up from common use in a dead language, I will ven- ture to affirm, that one good fit of the Gout gives mote intelligible and convincing leftures upon the suhjeft, than all the ethical treati- ses ever publish- ed. The virtue of Patience indeed is so evident- ly essential in this particular disorder, that it is always included in the usual prescription, to be applied with a quantum sufiicit of flannel. Tem- perance too it teaches in a way that " comes home to the bosoms of men," and those who continue to resist its admonitions may safely be pronounced beyond all hopes of amendment. What a lesson do the groans of a gouty chamber read to indo- lence and sensuality! If they are deaf to the " voice of the Charmer," an angel from heaven would warn them in vain. What preacher ever painted the evils of jjlu tony and drunkenness io colours so durable and vivid— a twinge of the great tue has often restrained the career of a three- bottle hero more effeftually than the most pathetic sermon. And then, with regard to Fortitude, I doubt whether that " stem nurse" ( as Gray calls her( " Adver ity," can more forcibly inculcate its nse and necessity. And although they never get a place in the calendar, I am inclined to think that few martyrs are better entitled to commemo. ration than those who have been able to face a fit of the Gout, without repining or dismay. Snch are its most striking morel effe ts. Need I point out how infinitely paltry and insignificant those trivial causes of disquietude which ruffle the tempers of the healthy and robust, appear in the eyes <{ him, who has just recovered from the agony of the rack ? In addition to all I have mentioned, Soame Jenvns, in his ingenious es- ay on the Origin of Evil, supposes that in the great and endless scale of creation, there is a class of beings, one link above ourselves, who, among other amusements, find great diversion in tormenting the poor folks of this sublunaiy sphere with those well- devised tortures, known among ns by the several names of Gout, Rheumatism, Palsy, and so forth. And, surely, in a severe fit of the gout, it must afford the philosophic mind great consolation to consider, that what is almost deaih to us, is mere sport to these lovers of drollery, who are laughing incog. a' our « - t braces, and stretching our joints on the rack, in order to contribute to their innocent amuse- ments— just as a cockchater is set on a pin to make diversion for the young sportsman of the r. ur- ery. Having thus, Sir, proved the many blessings arising from this Opprobrium Medicnrum, whether considered in a moral or philosophical point of view, I shall conclude the encomium by assur. ing you, that unless you have yourself felt all the varieties of a fit, you must ever remain a stranger to those enjoyments, which are at this moment experienced by, Sir, your sincere well- wisher, PO0ARGOP KILOS. P. S. Pray, Sir, do you sell the celebrated French remedy j If so, be so good as send me a bottle. BUTTER. BILL.

Several clauses follow relative to the duties of weighmasters, and to their being appointed on or before March 1, 1812, by Corporations in cor- porate places, and by Justices in others ; or, in case of their neglect, by the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council. It is then enacted, that all butter casks shall be made of good seasoned white oak or ash, ( whereof no part to he of bog timber) and shall be full bound, and made tight, so that each cask shall hold pickle, with head and bottom equally dooled and set to the cross, with sufficient hoops on each cask, and well twigged with good fresh osier twigs— under penalty of 10s. for each cask, with penalty on persons packing in any other cask, 10s. for every 561bs. Empty casks to he weighed and branded by i weighmaster, before thev are exposed to sale— ! Allowance for soakasje 21b. on cask, containing 56lb. neat of butter, 31b. for 70lb. neat, or 84lb. j gross, and so in proportion for every less size— Weight to be branded, under penalty of 10s, re- I coverable before any Chief Magistrate or Justice, for every cask not branded exposed to sale. Cooper's name to be branded on cask. Five pounds penalty for having brands for ; marking other Coopers' names. Unmerchantable, or improperly packed butter, ! to be seized and forfeited. Fee->— for weighing and branding empty casks, one penny— for weighing and branding casks of - for tasting and marking the qtialitx,_ one penny. No'V'r. ks of- butter to be under 2Slb. gross, nor butter, two pence- m. over 841b; groSs— Tare to be 20lb. per cwt.- From this clause it would appear th it no casks can have less than 231b. nor more than 70lb. neat of butter. Staves of casks to be of equal thickness, and head and bottom of due thickness in proportion to size of cask. The butter not to be packed above the riddle. If the tare marked be not in proportion to the gross weight, the Weighmaster is to eraze the tare, and mark the proportionate tare. All butter for sale to be brought dire£! ly to the Weia; hhouse, otherwise to be seized. Weighmaster may search for butter in suspefl. ed places, and lodge it in Weighhouse, until dis- posed of according to this aft. Twenty shillings penalty for each cask bought or sold and not branded as direfted. Ten shillings penalty for not returning butter into cavity from whence bored. Ten shillings penalty for each cask of butter bought or sold at greater or less tare than direft- ed, or with greater or less allowance for soakage, or by hand and not by weight. Ten shillings penalty on Revenue Officers per- mitting butter not branded to be exported. No Publican or Cooper to be a Weighmaster. Butter bought by Weighmaster or any person in his employment to be forfeited, or the value thereof, except one cask for family use. Nothing in this aft to extend to tho City of Cork. Persons afting against this aft, giving evidence, to be indemnified. A clause of the utmost importance, and calcu- lated to give effeft to the rest of the Aft, empowers any customhouse officer to seize butter illegally packed, imported from Ireland into any port of Great Britain— one- half of the value to go to his Majesty, the other half to the seizing officer. As the regulations of former afts were frequently evaded, and the evasions connived at by those concerned at this side of the water, it is presumed that the Irish merchant will take care not to ex- pose his property to the zeal, or aftivity, or, per- haps, rapacity, of every British Revenue Officer. It may, however, be a fit subjeft for consideration in a proper place, how far it is consistent with the spirit of the Union, that laws enafted for the re- gulation of trade in one Island shouid be enforced by penalties and seizures in the other. The Aft to be in operation from April 1, 1813, and not sooner, except where any other time is specially mentioned. GENERAL GRAHAM. brow.

A female, named Ann Gagerin, wis behead.* I at Munich in May last. . It appeared that she f ir some time maintained an illicit intercourse with her master ; and having conceived a violent ha- tred against her mistress, attempted to destroy her by superstitious means.

A villain had entered at a cham- ber window, and another was upon a Ldder, rc.- idy to follow, or receive whatever the former could lay his lrands on, when Mrs. Idle, who had be^ n alarmed, had the coinage to seize the arms of ihe fellow who had got in, and pinion hiin, S!..- maintained her hold with difficulty about a nn- nute, when the man struggled from her gra^ p, ( after calling her by her nam. ) and tumbling out of the window, escaped with his companion, with- out taking any thing. In a trial which took place at the Old Biilry, London, on Wednesday last, for receiving stolen pig^, the person who had lost the pigs swore t > his knowledge of them, ^ fter thev had been scald- ed, scraped, scoured, and cut open, from thei? peculiar countenance. About seven years ago, a man was gibheted on Saxelby Moor, for the murder of his wife. In his mouth has recently been found a bird's ne* t with young, and what is more remarkable, cfle same species of bird ( a widow bitei) built Iser nest there the last season. A melancholy accident happened last Tuesiiy at Bronghty- ferry, near Dundee. In the absnsce of its parents, a child drank from a boiling tea- kettle, which caused its death in a f « w hours al vat — wards. EXECUTION OF JOHN JAMES.— The statement of this unhappy young man's case, given in the last Telegraph, was precisely that the witPpKes gave on his trial, and in their own words ; f. « ota which it did not appear that he was an enthu rast,. or any way deprived of reason. During his tri ll he behaved with a steady composure, bordering on indifference: he put no question to the wit- nesses, nor made any defence: he did not appear at all affefted when the jury returned their veidift: of guilty, nor was he moved by the seiious admo- nitions of the Judge. From the time of hit ap- prehension to that of his en cation, i-> uniformly acknowledged that he did murder . its mi. tre. ss, and gave to all enquirers the same account of if, but never could give any reason why he dijit.—. He was particularly pressed by the Gentleman whose office it more immediately was to learn them, to assign his motives, on the morning of execution ; and he assured him again, he h id no motive for doing i:. The Gentleman gave hitn several reasons that had been alleged for his com- mitting the crinn-: he said, he had be*.-) a* ked the question before, and had heard the motives attri- buted to the cause ; but it was not so. He mur- dered Mrs. Hills without a cause ; at the time he felt no regret for the deed, nor did he for two after; when he began to refleft on the horrid deed, remorse and repentance ensued, and that he had continued very sorry for it ever since ^ lie- said he was as much at a loss to account for ItU having committed the murder as any person could be; he did not, lie said, feel differently at that time from what he did at any other, n& d that, when he left the stable, he was bent upon com. mitting the murder. He was not of a very com- municative turn, but would answer any questions without hesitation: he was always civil in hi* manners, and steady in his conduft : from bis ap. pe^ rance he might have been conceived incapable of such an outrage. It appeared in evidence that he had a seleftion of passages from the scrip'tjres in his drawets, and that he was very attentive to his religit » » s duties ; but nothing appeared to warrant him an enthu- siast. He was taken out of the gaol soon after ,11 - r The Hero of Barrosa has announced himself a Candidate for the Representation of Perthshire at the next Eleftion.
