aſked if he belonged to the Correſponding Society.- He(aid‘€ No; hé belong- ed to no Political Society.’ And being aſked if he had any accomplices, hé ſolemnly declared that he had none, and with great energy took God to wit- neſs, and laid his hand on his heart. From this time he began to ſhew ma=- nifeſt ſigns of mental derangrnent. He talked in 4 myſterious way of dreams, and of a great commiſſion he had received in his ſleep; that he knew he was to be a martyr, and was to be perſecuted like his great maſter, Jeſus Chriſt. He had been perſecuted in France; but he had not yet been ſufficiently tried. He knew what he was to endure; but he begged Sir William Addington to remember that Jeſus Chrift had his trial before he was crucified. He. ſaid many other incoherent things in the ſame(tyle. W. Wakelin, the perſon from whom he had bought the piſtols, being brought to the houſe, was ex- amined, He fid it was true that he had bought a pair of piſtols of him, and that he had faid they were for his young maſter, who would give him a blun- derbuſs for them; but he had not yet got the blunderbuſs. He knew very little of Hadfield, but knew where he worked, and had heard a good charaëter of him, but that the leaſt drink affe&ted his head. Several perſons from the houſe of Mrs. Maſon, his acquaintance, confirmed this fa&; and they-faid they aſcribed this to the very ſevere wounds he had received in his head. The leaſt drink quite deranged him. Upon this evidence he was committed to Cold Bath Fields for re-examination; and their Royal Highneſſes thé Dukes of Clarence and Cumberland, and Mr. Sheridan, conduéted him thi- ther. His Majeſty's Privy Council, however, deſiringto examine him forth- with, to diſcover if he had any AaccompÌicess he was taken to the Duke of Portland’s Office, where he underwent another examination, A mark was diſcovered in the top of the canopy over the royal box, and in the orcheſtrà below, a flattened and irregular piece of lead was found, ſuppoſed to have re- coiled from the place where it ſtruck. No other flug or ball was found. Tt was moſt providential that the royal box is elevated more than 1 5 feet above the pit'z ſo that from the place where Hadfield levelled his päſtol, he was be- tweén 30 and 40 feet diſtant from his Majeſty's perſon. The Royal Family ſat out the play of She Wou’ d and She Wou'd Not, with the farce oſ the Humou- rift; and enjoyed the happineſs of receiving from every individual the warmeſt teſtimonies of affe&ion, and of hearing expreſſions of the moſt hearttelt ſatis- fa@tion at his Majeſty's fafety.—God ſave the King was twice ſung amid thé moſt enthußaſtic ſhouts of loyalty and afffedtion, and thrice repeated at the con- cluſon of the comedy, followed by Rule Britannia.

A variety of other evidence was brouglit to prove that Hadfield had been inſane at times, ever fince his recovery trom his wounds. At the concluſion of the evidence, the Lords of the Council committed him to take his trial; and ſince that, a bill of indi&ment has been found againſt him for high treaſon, and the propér notice given him to prepare for trial.
