mention the Empresses of Russia wVo 1-ave btn called honour, notwithstanding their extraction. Without our readers farther with this, however, let us cast a hasty Kisl over tbe immediate interests of France. Austria possesses in Italy almost one-third of the surface tu third of its population, and more than one-tbirdof it, Its influence is absolute but at present her frontiers are teJ rated by an intermediate Power. If the Austrian troops wne occupy Alexandria, Genoa, Nice, Turin, anl France woHld be open to them tbey might penetrate ioto J' heart of the kingdom. Dauphiny, Lyont, would be defence' less and the lass of thi.

city would endanger Provenoe, guedoc, the'Bourdonnais, and Burgundy. If we weie t0 carr' on war for thirty years, we ought to prevent Genoa, Piedmont' and Savoy from falling into the hands of the Austrlans, ty' ought to defend the independsnce of the klogdom of Sardim' under th government of the House of Savoy, cost Wa8l might. Th reports circulated about Austria have be GERMAN PAPERS. HERMANNSTAur, Juir these few days we ave had so many, but Vuch conflicting and vague TaI xA theatre of that it fs impossible to ta-from them. The positions of the respective arm ms are so im perfectly known here, tbat it Is most prudent t8 wait fo official infarmatlon, which, however, is very slow in reacmng the Russian head quarters were at Karassu, on the bib, we my infer that some imporUnt event will aaon take place.

In consequence of the great heat, the spread In the Prlncipaliti.s and it is not impossible that the great.r part of th Russian troops, stationed in Srdered to retire beyond tbe Pruth, and one line of tion for the army in Bulgaria, viz. that through Bessarabia, he m'the Frontiers of Wallach.a VIvTotT to accounts from Bucharest, the plague has f.0"81,, derably in the last fortnight, and M. Von S'ourdza himse ad been induced to leave the city and remove a coun try bouse the neighbourhood. It was even report.d that the Russian troops would be withdrawn from the Principalities, lb Kus sian Privy Councillor, Von Bulgarin, had arrived at Bucharest, and Intended to go to Count Capo d'Istria as Russian Pl.mpo- Si-Hi. Majesty's order of the day respect-ing duelling, has exeited a great sensation, nst only in ttt army but amrng the public in general.

They dignified sentiments of this document, written by his Maje.ty himself. Where such principle, prevail the happiness ot th. people is built on a slld foundation. It is not, indeed, expected tbat this Cabinet order will put an entir stop to the abuse but it is hoped that there will be fewer duels from trifling causes. Among us, as in other places, tber are partisans of Von Pedro and of Don Miguel.

M. Bayard, Secretary to the Portuguese Legation here-, has presented to Count Bernstclt, me Minister for Foreign Affairs, a Note, in which he declares Count Lobo de Orlolo, the Ambassador at this Court, to ne partisan and advocate of Don Miguel. He has, therefore, he tays, broken off all communication with him, and considers it his duty, as a subject of Don Pedro, to inform the Minister of it. of fxparte statements which had been published in the News, papers, calculated to make an unfavourable impression against him before he took his trial. It was in the highest degree unjust and mischievous for any persons, for the sake of a tempo rary profit, to act in a way so likely to excite a strong prejudice against a man charged with an ofifence ef so serious a nature and be could not sufficiently reprobate sucli apractice.

He had also heard that handbills had been circulated, and shows exhibited, which tended to create a prejudice against the accused but what had most excite his indignatien was a circumstance, the truth of which he could scarcely credit till It was proved in evidence, that a person professing to be a Minister ef ie Gospel, had erected a pulpit near the Barn where it was stated the catastrophe in question took place, and had preached to an ignorant mob on the subject of the murder. His Lordship said, he could not imagine anything more contrary to the spirit of the religien the preacher professed he did not know who he was than the plan adopted by him to "at ore" judice against a man who was soon to take his trial for an offence affecting hie life. He hoped there was some misrepresentation as to the conduct of this preaeher; but all acts calculated to excite popular feeling against an accused person before bis trial.could not be too strongly condemned, and he was confident the Jury would banish from their bosoms every impression that had been made therein by any thing which they bad seen or heard before they came into the Jury box, whether in a newspaper, or by a sermon, or by shows, and that they would as they were by a solemn duty bound confine themselves solely to the evidence which bad been given on the trial, and give that due weight to the evidence for the prosecution, as well as that for the defence, that justice to the public as wellasto the prisoner demanded. Had the prisoner, who had been ably defended, adopted a different line of defence, it would have been his (his Lordship's) duty to have tisst addressed the Jury upon two particular points, and te have read the evidence bearing upon them. The first was as to the identity of the body, and whether the evidence proved to their satisfaction that the body found in the Red Barn was that of Maria Marten.

Secondly, was ber death produced by the act of the prisoner The identity of the body had become unnecessary, because th prisoner, in bis defence, bad confessed it was the body of Maria Marten. That fact was admitted by him, and by th advice of persons who, no doubt, were capable of giving to the prisoner the best possible advice on the subject. Th prisoner bad admitted that he had buried herJn tjat place but he asserted that he was innocent of her death, and that she had committed suicide. It became Important that he should read to the Jury that part of the evidence by which It appeared the prisoner had giveo different accounts respecting Maria Marten, to various persons after her disappearance, as it bad a strong bearing on his defence. He felt it to be his duty to offer some observations on these different centradictory statements of the prisoner, because the impressive and positive manner in which the prisoner had declared to the Jury that the young woman's death was the effect of suicide, might have a considerable effect in influencing their decision on this important case.

His Lordship read the evidence of Mrs, Marten and the other witnesses, to whom the prisoner had stated Maria Martn was alive after the 18th of May and, alio, the evidence of the witness to whom the prisoner said he ceuld see her any day and any hour he liked." His Lordship read the evidence of Mr. Mathews, and called the attention of the Jury to the letters written by the prisoner to that gentleman and to Marten and to the evidence of Lee also, to wham the prisoner, on being apprehended, denied that he ever knew Maria Marten. His Lordship said it would be for the Jury to consider the credit that was due to that part of the evidence of the surgeons which described the death of the deceased to have been caused hy stabbing, and shooting, and strangling and they would consider also the probability of the prisoner's statement, that she had caused her own death. It was somewhat unusual in cases of suicide, for the parties to shoot and to stab themselves in various places but it was to be considered, if the evidence of the surgeons was conclusive as to the stabbing, whether the Jury could place full reliance on that evidence and if so, whether that evidence was consistent with the statement made by the prisoner In bis defence, viz. that the young woman had done all this herself.

His Lordship, after reading through the remainder of the evidence, again called the attention of ipeken of were hanging up in the room loaded. I bad before that shewn her the use of them, and on returning- to her father's she, by some means unknown to me, contrived to get the pistols into her possession. It is well known that at that period Maria was much depressed in spirits, and was anxious at I should marry her, although I had reason to suspect that she was at the time in correspondence with a gentleman in London, by whom she had a child. My friends objected to the match, and I declined It at the time. But although poor Maria's conduct wat not -altogether free from blame, I was much attached to her, and at length agreed to her wishes and it was arranged that we should go to Ipswich and obtain license for that purpose.

Whether I did or did not lay anything about a warrant having been issued by the pariah officers for her apprehension, I cannot now pretend to say but if I did, it must have been because such a report was abroad at the time. It was agreed that Maria should go in male attire to the lied Barn so often mentioned in the course of the trial. You have heard from the mother of the unfortunate Maria, that she and I had had words. As we proceeded to the barn she was in tears. To that barn we "had eften repaired before, and frequently passed the night there.

When we reached the barn, words arose, and Maria flew into passion. I teld her that if we were to be married, and live together, she must not go on so. Much conversation ensued, and on changing her dress, she at length told me that if we were married, we should never be happy together that I was too proud to marry her, and take her to my mother's, and that she did not regard me. I was highly irritated, and asked her if was to 0 on this way before marriage, what was I to expect after She again upbraided me, and being in a passion, I told her that I would not tnarry her turned from the Barn, but I had scarcely reached the gate when a report ef a pistol reached my ears. I returned to the Barn, with horror beheld the unfortunate girl extended on the floor, apparently dead I was for a short time supified with horror, and knew not what to do.

It struck me to run for a Surgeon; and well would it have been for me had I done so. But I raised the unfortunate girl, In order, if possible, to afford her some assistance but I found her altogether lifeless and to my horror, 1 discovered that the dreadful act bad been committed by one of my own pistols, and that I was the only person In existence who could tell how the fatal act took place. The sudden alarm which seized me suspended my faculties, and I was for some time before I could perceive the awful situation in which I was placed, and the suspicions which must naturally arise from my having delayed ts make the circumstance instantly known. at length, found that concealment was the only means by which I could rescue myself from the horrid Imputation and I resolved to bury the body as well aa I was able Having done so, I subsequently accounted for her absence in the manner described by the witnesses, saving sometimes one thing to one person, and at other times other things to another. I may be asked why, if innocent of the crime imputed to me, I felt it necessary to give those answerB To which I answer, that some persons are driven to da acts from fear which others do from guilt, which it precisely tke case with me in this instance.

It may be asked, too, why I have not called evidence to prove the facts I have but, Gentlemen, I put it to you whether things do not sometimes take place which are enly known to the parties between whom they happen and what direct proof can I give, when the only person who knew of these facts is no more I can, for the game reason, give no direct proof of the unhappy woman's having got possession of in pistols. I say pistels, because I found the other loaded pistol in the unfortunate Maria's reticule. As to the stabs and other wound, described by the witnesses, I can only say that no stab or cut was given by Maria or myself, and I firmly believe that the Surgeons would never have sworn to them, were it not for the circumstance of a sword having been found in the room ia which I was arretted. If any stab did appear upon the body, it must have been done with the instrument used In disinterring it. One of the witnesses told yeu (baton striking the instru could not My if 11 a a wound of recant or of ancient infliction 1 examined the tide, and found a transverse wound between the fifth and sixth ribs, which appeared to have been infllced with 8 weapon which had a broad ba and a sharp eds-e I did not ee a sword applied to the wound I saw them separately I considered the wound in the ribs in connrction with the one In the heart, and it appeared to be a continuation of the same wound through the ribs into the body the weund in the heart rr.is;ut have been inflicted in stripping the pericardium off the heart the wound through the ribs into the heart could not have beo inflicted in stripping the pericardiim such a wound is certainly deemed a mortal one all wounds in the heart may not tie mortal I have seen a head in the possession of Mr.

Lawton, 4 found a wound there a bullet appears to have traversed it through the bones of the face the course of the ballet was behind the upper teeth, and through the orbit of the eye the appearances ceuld not have been produced by decomposition I should net say that would have been a mortal wound, it might or might not 1 found the mark of another wound, a thrust in the same eye the ball had perforated; It was inflicted with a sharp instrument with a broad back; It might have been inflicted with the same instrument that Inflicted the wound between the ribs and pierced the heart. Cross-examined The instrument that rierced the spheroidal sinus entered only about the depth of an eighth of an inch I mean the spheroid bone, which is situate at the base of the cranium the ins'rument might have been sharp at the point and jrradnally increased in thickness upwards If the wound had been inflicted on the heart while living, there must have been a preat effusion of blood, unless syncope had taken place instantly, aud then there would not. Syncope might have been produced by the loss of blood but a shock to the system might have produced syncope there were no appearances of blosd about the heart the probability is that such a weund would be followed by excessive bleeding. It is quite impossible to say if the ball entered or came out of the eye. Re-examined: The parts being soft, we could not say had there been merely bones we might have ascertained.

I was not present when some bones were found in the throat I puid no attention to the fracture of the bones of the nose. Mr. Lawton recalled I have the head of the deceased in my hand. Mr. Andrews Now, Sir, point out to the Jury the place where tbeinsrument pierced the skull.

The witness proceeded to the Jury box, with Mr. Brederick, and the Gentlemen of the Jury minutely examined the skull. The witness pointed out the direction where the bullet had traversed and the sword had pierced. The prisoner tosk hii spectacles ut of his pocket, and was very attentive to the examination. The witness placed the point of the sword in the place where he was of opinion it had penetrated.

Mr. Brodkbick Place the point of the swerd the other way, and it will correspond as well. Witness (putting the sword-point in the wound the other way): The sword will not fit this way so well, it will not go through. (The witness also showed the absence of the teeth from the jaw of the skull There were two teeth out of the upper jaw one appeared to have been drawn out while the body was alive. Cross-examined by Mr.

Brodf.rick One of the teeth might have fallen out through decomposition. Mr. MATHEWS recalled Maria Marten had an enlargement in the front of her neck, similar in appearance a wen. Baylam, the constable, produced the combs and linen found on the deceased. Mrs.

TBE MORNING CHRONICLE. LONDON: SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1828. We understand that accounts were received yesterday at the Austrian Ambassador's, by way of Paris, with the positive intelligence that the Pacha of Egvpt had recalled the whole of his force3 from the Mores. It is said that this intelligence has, in the opinion in high quarters, much altered the state ot the question re- -specting the Morea, that endeavours will be made prevent the sailing of the French Expedition. It is again rumoured, with an imposing confidence in certain quarters, that powerful endeavours are to be made to terminate the war between Russsia and Turkey forthwith by negociation.

Perhaps this rumour has its origin in the alarming accounts respecting the plague circulated in Germany, and ia the difficulties of the Russian position. Though the Turks have in no instance been able to repel the Russians, it is yet clear that the latter hive hadany thing rather than uneasy task hitherto. But what must the difficulties be, when the Russians have entered the mountainous part of their expedition They must in the numerous narrow defiles, be frequently exposed tc attack, and as the Turks are admirable horsemen, they will not fail to avail themselves of the advantages of the ground. This may be the ground on which this report of negoctatiens rests. For our parts, we do not believe that the Russians, after having gone such lengths, wi abandon their enterprise on any other terms than th concession of all their demands.

Were they now to ap- i pear yielding, the disposition would be attributed, bot by the Turks and by others, to inability to proceed; an this would only make the Turks more insolent, while i. would, at the same time, lower the general estimate a Russian power. We have no doubt of the ultima. success of the Russians, if they are determined to go We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday and the Gazette de France, dated Thursday.

A letter Toulon, of the end of July, gives the following details We at length know what we are to think of the Expedition. Positive orders have been received for the troops of every description to be ready to embark. Their force is to be increased by two regiments from Cadiz, which were landed on the 26th, after performing five day's quarantine by the 29th, which is in garrison at Avignon and by tbe 42d, which has just been in garrison in Corsica. Th Expedition will sail in two divltions. Tbe firat, which will tbe strongest, Is to be embarked on the 15th of August the second, with which there will be a park of heavy artillery, wiil be embarked on the 25tb of the same month.

General Dorieu, chief of the Staff of the expedition, at present commands in Corsica; one of his Majesty's ships is gone to communicate to him the orders of the Ministry, and to bring him to Toulon. All the heads of the several departments of the service are appointed, and great activity prevails among the troops. For these last ten or fifteen days we have been expecting something new for, after orders were received to sell tne pro vlslens which were already collected, a counter ordersoon ar rived, and then another order to deubl these provisions. In the Road there fs only tbe fleet which has just brought tbe garrison of Cadiz it will net suffice to convey half the troops, but are coming from Brest and from the Levant, which will enable it to convey at once 5,000 er 5,000 men, with the necessary materiel." The Journal ef the Upper Garonne contains the following ar ticle Numerous arretts took place at Madrid, a few days ago, in consequence of the discovery of a conspiracy in favour of the Infante Don Carlos." The Moniteur of Wednesday contains the following paragraph At th instance of the King's Attorney-General, the Gazette de fiance, which appeared on Monday evening, at Paris, with the date of Tuesday, 5th August, and the numbers of that Journal intended for the departments, bearing date of Wednesday, 6tb, containing an article headed The Session of 1826 were seized at the Post-office." The Metsager des Chambres, ia a long article on the Session, and tbe seizure of tb Gazette de France, has th following sentences Never wer fewer words employed to make so inculpatory a recapitulation. Thirty Does have sufficed for the Gazette, to predict the greatest misfortunes to the Monarchy and it declares with an audacity which excites at the same time ridicule and Indignation, that after what has been done this year, there will remain but little to do in the next Session to consummate the re-estabiishment of tbe Republic." FROM THE GAZETTE DX FRANCE, DATED THURSDAY Constantinople, July 10.

The Government does not appear to regret Ihe fall of Brallow, and only sees there the degree of resistance which the Russians will have to encounter every wher else. For the rest th capital presents no change since the arrival of this intelligence, which has not caused any new measures of defence to be adopted, save that the Captain Pacha hat proceeded by land towards Varna with 4,000 men. It is singular enongb tbat th Port should send its Grand Admiral to defend with cavalry the ports of the Black Sea, while that, on another side, the opening at the free navigation of that Sea seems a fault in policy. Frequent meetings are held at th house of the Mufti, and the ReisEffeodi i. occupied with labours which are supposed to re late to the answer returned by General Guilleminot to the invitation of the Porte, which arrived some days ago.

Smyrna, Jul 4. The English Commodore Staines arrived here yesterday, tne courier for Constantinople was delayed till two o'clock this morning, to carry his dispatches. Various reports hare been spread from that moment tbe blockades of Navario and Candia will be raised Ibrahim will evacuate the Morea with the consent of the Pertt the independence of Greece will be recognized under the Sovereignty of the Porte, All this news, however, seems to want confirmation. Letters from Constantinople state, that the Grand Seignior has ordered all Greeks who have no family, and who lead an idle and vagabond life, to quit that capital. Paris, Aug.

6. Tbe Police visited, yesterday, the office of the Gazette de France, to seize those numbers of our Paper which contained a review of the Session, having previously repaired to tbe Post Office to detain those copies which were abaut to be sent off. We regret tbat this circumttance has interrupted the delivery which we alwaya wish to make with the greatest exactness. We hope that the decision come to will enable us to send that very Gazette to our provincial subscribers. Should our expectations in this respect be disappointed, we will reprint the numbers, with the exception of tbe article objected to.

The Marquess of Hastings, the son of Lord Holland, two sons of Lord Ellenborough, and other young men belonging to distinguished English families, hav applied to serve in the expedition about to sail from Toulon, and the King has granted his permission. They will proceed te join the Staff of General arson, who will assigu to them their duties. This arrangement has been effected by diplomatic means. FROM THE JOURNAL DES DF.BATS. Paris, August 6.

The active intervention of England in the affair, of tbe East might, with the agreement and aupport of the new French Cabinet, have secured, several months agoi the independence of Greece and by tbat have Uken from the Russians every motive which tbey could have urged, with any effect on opinion, for passing the Pruth and marching on Constantinople. Her indecision and delays have obliged France to stop an expedition which would before this time have sent Ibrahim back to Egypt, and have extended the frontiers of Greece, perhaps, to the Lake of Livadia, and to include Eubssa. If Russia, caring nothing for the liberation of Greece, and for redressing the infractions of the Treaty of Ackermano, had proceeded to Constantinople with a view of herself there, an English fleet might have entered the Mediterranean, and have destroyed the fleets of Admirals Seniartn and Heyden and have passed, in conjunction with the Turks, and for their defence, the Dardanelles and tbe Bosphorus; have destroyed the Russian fleet at Sebastopo, and all the maritime establishment cn the Black Sea. The Russian Armies of Asia and Europe, deprived by this operation of all means of communication, would have been forced to stop. This might have been, and would have been undertaken by Mr.

Canning, and which the Bake of Wellington has not thought of not because he wants military skill and bravery, but because political combination, need a different species of talents, and a boldnes. of a different kind. The policy of M-Metternich, who relied during twelve year, on the art of deceiving Alexander, was ruined by the death of that Emperor. Thit stationary Power, wholly occupied with the care of closing her territories against all the influence of modern times, and ts plan in secret schemes of aggrandisement at the expence of a country her politicians have coveted for centuries, is now disturbed at the conflagration which threatens her frontiers. Uneasy for her possessions In Poland, she turns her attention toward, unhappy Italy.

Before the Revolution, the only possessed there Lombardy, and a part of the Valteline. Between her and her possessions In Italy, the ancient Republic of Venice intervened. In the Adriatic lb had only tbe port of Trieste. Illyria and Dalmatia belonged to the Government of Saint Marc. AJerancu of the Heuse of Austria reigned in Tuscany.

Her territories had no point of aupport in Italy or in Belgium the "French armies eatily mastered them, and the House of Hapsburgh was obliged to" cede ven Carniola. Now Austria possesses all the former Continental pravincet of Venice, all Lombardy, and no State intervenes between her and her possessions In Italy. The Tuscan branch ef the Austrian family is re-established a second firaach has inherited Modena, the former property of the House of Ette, which is extinct. What Austria has obtained from Modena she now wishes to obtain from Piedmont, and by the same means the eldest branch of the House of Savoy has no male heirs; the daughter of the King of Sardinia married the Duke of Modena. The younger branch of the House of Savoy is continued in the person of Prince Carlgnan.

His right to the Throne is incontestable; but he is reproached with descending from a marriage with a female of a good family, but not of a Sovereign family. It is now wished to exclude a Prince from the heritage of bit ancestors, and erase from tbe list of Sovereigns the family of Savoy, so rich in great Princes and great Generals. These misalliances are not unknown to the principal dynasties of Europe. Anne Beleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr are memorablt examples ia England. It would be uptrfiuous to the Jury to the prisoners defence.

He had said that he left the cottaee with Maria Marten that he intend ed to marry her that they went to the Red Barn toge ther, and quarrelled tnat be declared to her mat ne wouia not marry her, and she, with a loaded pistol which she had ia her possession without his knowledge, shot herself and caused her own death, rue Jury wouia consider wnetner mere was or was not material evidence throwing discredit upon the state ment made by the prisoner as to the cause of the death of the deceased. His Lordship proceeded to read the evidence which had been given tne part ot tne aetence, to tacts ana also to character. His Lordship said, with respect to the subject of nharacter, in opposition to conelusive facts, character could go for nothing. If there was doubt existing, character should be placed in the scale but if the Jury were satisfied as to the fact of the prisoner committing the murder, the cuaracier ue nsa recciveu ougut uut iu uueci luvir uiiuua the prisoner's favour. His Lordship said, that the complaint against th Corener appeared to be unfounded, because the evidence was read ever to the prisoner in the presence ef bit legal adviser, and the prisoner could net have been injured by his not being present during the time the witnesses were being examined.

His Lordship continued The prisoner had admitted, that the young woman shot herself with his pistols; but no evidence had been given that tbi young woman had the 'exclusive possession of the pistols, nor bad a single question been put to Mrs. Marten or her daughter, as te whether Maria Marten bad the pistols in her possession at the time she left the cettage with the prisener. The most serious question for their consideration wat, the facts proved by th Surgeons, that they found on the body a number of weunds on the face and eye, and between the fifth and sixth ribs. It did not appear very probable a female ceuld have inflicted such a number of wounds on her own person; it was, however, far th Jury to consider the facts. Part ef the charge in the indictment was, that the prisoner had caused her death by strangulation.

They would nst come to their conclusion till after the most grave deliberation upen the probability of the deceased inflicting all these injuries upon herself and if they should be of opinietn that she had herself inflicted the various injuries, they would acquit the prisoner; but if they should believe that her death was produced In any of the various ways laid in the indictment, by the act ef the prisoner, their duly to their country, and to society, bound as they were by the solemn oaths which taey bad taken, called upon them manfully to pronounce a verdict of Guilty. During his Lordship's address to the Jury, the countenance of the prisoner repeatedly changed colour, from a deep flush to a pallid hue; he betrayed a very feverish anxiety as to the result of the trial he manifested great uneasiness, and appeared to be suffering considerable mental tenure. Occasionally there was an apparent convulsive motion of the lower part of his face; his lips were parched, and he sighed deeply. Towards the cenclusion of the trial, he rested his head against a pillar in the felons' dock, and elated his eyes. The Jury, after a short consultation, asked leave to retire.

On their return their names were called ever. Mr. Edoell, Clerk of the Arraigns Gentlemen of the Jury, are you all agreed how say you is the prisoner at tbe bar, William Corder, guilty of the murder with which he stands charged, or not guilty Foreman Guilty. The prisoner here, for the first time, put a handkerchief to his eyes. The Lord Chief Baron placed the black cap on his head, and said William Corder, it has now become my painful duty to announce to you the near approach of the close of your mortal career.

You were accused ef murder one of the highest offences in tbe catalogue of crimes. You denied that you were guilty, and placed yourself upon your country and the jury, after a long, patient, and solemn investigation, have declared that you are Guilty and in my opinion the verdict is a most iust and righteous ope. In violation of the sacred prohi bition, Tbou sbalt do ne murder In violation of all laws, hHman and divine you cruelly murdered the unfortunate yung woman, and the law of God, as well as that of man, exacts the penalty of death fer the crime you have committed stern justice requires it; ne pity must be shown society demands that your life shall be forfeited. Yeu hurried the young woman to her account, without a moment's time to turn her eyes within, or to 'throw hersilf upon ber knees to ask for mercy at the eternal throne. The same merciless treatment will not be meted out to you you will have time to prepare yourself by penitence for another and a better world.

1 trust you will not forget tne reli-gieus precepts which, in your early years, were inculcated by vour Instructors in your mind, and that you will attend to the religious consolation which I am convinced will be afforded lo you by the Chaplain of the gaal, and prepare yourself lor the transition tbat so toon awaits you. I hav only new to pass th awful sentence of the law that you, William Corder, be hanged on Monday next, and your body be cut down and given for dissection. At the close of the sentence tbe convict fell down into tbe arms of two pertons who stood on each side ot him, and be gave a sort of convulsive shriek. So coi fident was his sister of an acquittal, that she actually ordered a past-chaise at one of the Inns to take him home with. ber to Polstead this evening.

At a late Sitting of tbe Correctional Tribunal of Rouen, the Abbe; Partie. the Curate of the Parish of Laloode, near Elhosuf, was triad tor refusing to perform tbe burial rites over tae body of a proprietor ano. cultivator oi iana in ine neighbourhood, and for insulting his memory. It appeared, that, on the 4th of June last, M. Feutry, th person in question, was struck with apoplexy, and hi.

son called in th Able Partie to administer to him the succour of religion. He went to him but, in consequence of hit paralysis, he was unable to hold any communication with bien. He immediately wrote to the Archbishop, to demand if, fn case of the aecease or ivj, feutry, ne was iu peuurm ecclesiastical service over his hodv. as he had been married hefore the civil authorities during the Revolution, and had never sine tbat time received the benedictin of the Church The answer was, ttat the burial rites ceuld net be refused, if the deceased bad reconciled himself with the Church. The Abb4, in his letter, however, did not state that M.

Feutry had been ttruck with apoplexy, and tbat he bad lost the use of his speech and intellectual faculties. The Abb refused to attend at tbe inhumation of tbe bodv in consequence of which it was taken to a neiphhourinir oafish, where the Curate contented to perform the service. The Abb appeared there, clothed in his sacerdotal robes, and stated in tjbe Church that he bad refused te perform the rites of burial over the bedy, as M. Feutry had been living in a state of fornication for twenty fire years and he protested against the service being proceeded in. For this he was brought before tbe Tribunal.

The Abbe' had been in the constant habit of refusing, in an arbitrary manner, tbe Sacrament, without giving any reason and it was stated tnat a petition irom tae commune oi had been presented 10 the Chamber of BepHties, signed by one hundred and thirtv inhabitants, among others by tbe Mayer and all the members ef th Municipal Couacii, complaining of the conduct of tbeir Cure, and tbat he had in a sermon which be bad preached en the fete de St. Charles, the patronal day of Charlet the Tenth, declared tbat so tar did tne spiritual powers surpais the temporal powers so much did tbe authority of the Church stand above the authority of the Princes of the earth, that if an unworthy King sheuld promulgate laws contrary to religion, his subjects would be justified in destroying him." It was also stated that the deceased was a man unirersally respected in the neighbourhood, and that be had been in the constant habit of attending the mass in an adjoining parish to that of the defendant. Tbe Tribunal, after deliberating for half an hour, postponed its decision to the 8th instant. ment into the ground, he exclaimed, there is something here, i so that the instrument must have entered the body. Gestle-men, I have now told you all the facts of the they have occurred, and I entreat your attention to the few remarks I have to make upon some parts of the evidence.

I am charged with having basely murdered the woman whom I loved, and promised to marry Is there, let me ask, any adequate cause assigned for such an act I might, had Iss pleased, have broken off the connection, on the erounds of the displeasure of my family, or be cause of Maria's connection with another. Where, then, could be my motive for the horrid deed? lask any man whether, if I had contemplated the death of the poor girl in the manner described by the prosecutor, I should have selected that barn for the scene of such a deed Would 1 have chosen for suoh a purpose a spst surrounded with cottages and persons, to all of whom I was known True it is that the death remained concealed at the time, but that conceal ment was purely accidental. None but a madman could have expected concealment in such a place, and under sucli circumstances. I put it to you, Gentlemen, whether, if I had contemplated such an act, I would not have selected a better time and place and opportunity for its perpetration; or, having perpetrated it, might I not easily have mae my escape? But you have it in evidence that I remained at home until the month ef September, when, being taken ill, and suffering from se-r. losses in mv family.

by the advice of my physician, proceeded to a watering place. I went to Ports mouth, and from thence to tue isie oi igni, irm thence I proceeded to London, where I met my sister. Yeu have heard of a passport for France having been found in my desk. That passport was obtained by desire of my Wife, who was anxieus to visit a relative at Paris; but I objected to the journey, on the ground of the expence. Articles belonging to the unfortunate Maria are proved to have been found in my possession.

Would had I been the guilty roan I am represented to be, have retained those articles or would I not, for my own protection, have at once destroyed them I can prove, that while in town in December last year, I publicly advertised the sale of a house belonging to my wife, and in that advertisement I gave my name and address. Did this look any thing like guilt, or a desire ef concealment If 1 had courted seclusion, would I have lived with my wife in a public establishment Surely no man can suppose me so careless of life as to do so. I have now, Gentlemen, statea the case exactly as it standt, and I hope I have convinced you that the only fault of which I have been guilty it the fault of concealment; or should any doubt still linger in your minds, I hope you will extend to me that generous principle of the English law, which holds a man to be innocent until his guilt is clearly established. Gentlemen, whatever may be the result of this inquiry, my conscience tells me tint am innocent, and i implore yeu not to send me to an ignominious death. I have no more to say.

but that my life is in your The prisoner occupied a quarter of an hour in reading his address. WM. GOODWIN examined: I live in Pleugh-Iane, Sudbury the prisoner came to my hsuse and took lodgings in the spring of 1827 he afterwards came with Maria Marten, who lay in there; the prisoner visited her two or three times a week after her accouchement they had a room to themselves. Mr. Brbdeuick Did they seem fond of each other I cannot say to the contrary I remember before Maria Marten was confined, the prisener went out with her to Mr.

Harconrt's, the gunmaker, of Sudbury when they left my house, tltev went in a one-horse chaise sbe lay-in on the 9tb of March, and she left on the 16th of April, taking the infant with her.

TftHN HARDY: I was in Mrs. Corder's employ in Feb 1 saw the nrisoner cleaning the pistols I remember seeing Maria Marten on the 13th of May sbe was walking with Corder across the yard towards the stable I went away there are two staircases in Mrs. Corder's bouse two persons might go up one of tue staircases to t-order room without Airs.

Corder knowing anything about it I de-n't know that Corder mr1 ro take thinffS to Maria. Cross-examined It was about nine o'clock in the evening when I saw them in the yard. r.ITCY BAYLAM examined br Mr. Broderick 1 lived In Mis. Corder's service last year I left her on the Uth of last October I had lived with her eleven months I bad seen pistols in the spring of that year in Corder's bed room sometimes in Hie lnsiue auu aimnuuieo uii mc umwut u.

the prisoner con inued to live at his mother's till within about a fortnight of the time I went away; the prisoner was always a kind, gnod-natured man. Mr. EDWARD HVEING examined I am a surgeon at Nnyland, about two miles fiom Palstead I have attended the prisoner in a medical capacity I advised the prisoner about this time last year to visit some bathing place for the benefit of his health I recommended the touth coast his health required it, as he was strongly threatened with consumption. Mrs. THURZA AVERS examined 1 knew Corder from Ms infancy, healwaysappeared to me to be a kindand humase man.

Mr. BrDeric produced a Timet newspaper of the 3d December, 1827, containing the advertisement alluded to by the prisoner iu his address to the Jury, in which he offered in his real name his house for sale. John Bugg, formerly the prisoner's mother's bailiff Wm. Pryke, a farmer, who went to schsol with the prisoner Mrs. Mary Kersey, of Bury, who had known the prisoner from bis infancy, was related to hit family Jeremiah Borum, a miiler, of Spraughten Win.

Baylham, son of the constable of Pelttead, were called, and spoke of the prisoner as a kind, good tempered, humane young man. The Lord Chief Barn commenced his summing up. The prisoner stood charged with the murder ef Maria Marten and as the law required the mode in which the murder had heen committed to he described, the indictment stated the manner of the deceased's death in a variety of ways. It stated that the deceased was murdered by the prisoner stabbing her with a sitarp instrument also by shooting her with a pistol by strangling her with a handkerchief and also by burying her alive in the earth. And if the Jury should be satisfied that ber death was caused by any one, or by all, of the modes described in the indictment, and that the prisoner so caused her death, they would tay he was guilty of the crime Imputed to him.

Before bis Lordship proceeded to read the evidence, he felt it to be bis duty to make some observations to the Jury upon that part of the prisoner's defence in which be had justly complained of the very improper means that had been adopted to excite an effect mischievous to the accused. He bad complained I propose to ask Mrs, Marten Do yeu know that bag Mr. Bkoderick Dees your Lordship think that is an admissible questieu. Lord Chief Baron I do not think It can be put. Ine bag was not found in the prisoner's custody.

Mr. Andrews It was found in the house, and in a room where a sword was found that has been identified to be the prisoner's property, and also, in which a desk was found, which the prisoner admitted to be his, and gave the keys ef it to the ufiicer. Surely it is admissible evidence. Lord Chief Bason I think you have come very near it but you had better not press that evidence. Mr.

Andrews Very well, my Lord. ANN MARTEN: (he sister of the deceased, correborated her mother's testimony in identifying the different articles which the deceased wore on leaving the house on the 18th of May with Corder. The bonnet produced was put into the bag, which jrder tok to the Barn before Maria went out with him. Mr. Andrews My Lord, I do not wish to press anything on your Lordship unnecessarily but I am able to prove that in the desk at Corder's hoitse were found letters addressed to Corder, and also a passport in his name for France and probably your Lordhip will be of opinion that will admit me to give evidence of the finding the black reticule.

Lord Chief Baron I do not think it important to your esse to admit that evidence 1 think there is no occasion for it. Mr. Andrews: Very well, my Lord, I will not press it further. THOS. MARTEN, examined by Mr.

Kellv 1 was present when ihe body was dug up the soil is cf loam, and stony. Mr. MATHEWS said Maria Marten was able to write letters. Lord Chief Baron Is that your case, Mr. Andrews Mr.

Andrews: Yes, my Lord, that is the case for the prt-itcution. The Lijief Baron Prisoner, the time is now come when 1 have te call upon you for your defence to this charge. Tue PRISONER drew from his packet a manuscript, which he read in a rather low and tremulous voice. He appeared at times considerably agitated. His speech was to the following effect Gentlemen of the Jury I am informed by my that upon a trial where even the life of a human being is at stake, Counsel cannot address you on behalf of an accused party, while against him a contrary practice prevails.

This being the case, I feel bound to address you, and with that view I have collected a few observations upon the nature of the charge, and elienld you find them obscure and ill-arranged, or not bearing exactly upon the evidence against me, I trust you will attribute th. Btieiptv of miud under which I labour, the difficulty in which I am placed in which, indeed, every man must naturally be placed, in endeavouring to reply to charges Of which he has been kept in ignsrance, ani which are now made for the first time in his hearing. In this state of ignorance It has been my misfortune to be placed. Gentlemen, while I deplore as much as anv nan the untimely death ef the unfortunate female in ques-' e. minrl the horrid tion, I mustimpiore you 10 uioih.bs details that have been circulated against me by tb.

public from the first period of being accused up to 11 know how much the public mind ana puMic opinion are governed by that powerful engine, and how easily, though, perhaps, unintentionally, me suaian" dividual may be assailed by it. By that press have I been held forth to the world as the murderer of the unfortunate Maria. It is quite natural that these statements may have made a strong mpression upon your but, Gentlemen, as you value the Sacred Institutions of your country as you value tbe sacred obligations of an oath-as you value your future tranquillity and pesce of mind-as you value the conscientious discbarge of your duty to your cauntry and to your God-I implore you to banish all such impressions from your mind, and to judge only from the evidence which has been laid before you. Iam not willing to cast imputations upon the character of any man but 1 must make a few observations upon what took place at the Coroner Inquest. And, first, I must observe, that it i improper on the part of the Coroner to act as attorney for the proecu-tion, as his conduct in the one capacity is very likely influence his conduct in the other.

His Lordship, and you, Gentlemen ef the Jury, must, at once, observe the impropriety of smb. a course of proceeding. I must also remark upon the unfairness of preventing me from being present at that Inquest. The Coroner refused my application to be 10 present, although several authorities were cited in support that application and I repea that I have now, for the first time, heard the evidence against me, the depsBltions taken at the inquest having only been read over to me. Vou, Gentlemen, must be aware that the conduct of the Coroner is generally Jikely to produce an influence on witnesses.

But this is no, all; after I was committed to pri.en a kind of second inquest was held by the Coroner fresh witnesses were examined, and their deposition, taken dwn. My S.licitor objected to this, and asked for copies of the depositions, but they were refused, and I was kept in ignorance of charges on which my life depended. I am told that, in the strietness ef law, I had no right to be present at the Coroner's Inquest, but I contend that I had, and that it was unjust to prevent me from hearing the witnesses, until I came here. I will ask you, Gentlemen, whether it is in the power of any man properly to defend himself, under such circumstances Can a man shield himself from evidence thus pruned down Can he suddenly explain away equivocal facts and doubtful apnearances It haB been well observed, that truth is often stronger than fictlon-and never was the assertion more fully verified than in my own unfortunate case, during the last few years of my life, which have been a tissue of misfortunes. In the coarse of six months I was deprived of three of my brothers-and a few months previously of my father also 1 have heard the evidence laid before you, and I admit ttiat it makes very strong against me but, Gentlemen, it may.

and will, I trust, be explained away to your iati.factfon; and I implore you to attend to the statement 1 am about to make. No man regrets more sincerely than I do the death of the unfortunate Maria, the circumstances attend ing which I am new about to state and much have 1 to regret, that 1 for a moment concealed them, but I did so because I was atupifiedand horror-struck at the time, and knew not hew to mv ronnenon with the act. ou have heard oi me was contrary to the will of unfortunate Maria that connexion my mother, and to conceal her situation i her at Sudbury, where was confined. In the usual she returned to her father's house; in a fortnight after which the infant died not, as has been intimated, by violence, but a na-tuiaJ4atb. J3inff anxious to conceal the circumstance from I l.irlri rtrra neighbours, it was agreed between ner iatuer that Maria and I should eury rue took it away for that purpose, to) is house at Pelstend.

and by means of i tU.Herto my own room, where she re- d'WiwUdays. The pistols which Dure been.
