' (Concluded from our lad ) Evidence in Exculpation. John M'Clure, jun. in Ki.ikland Hill— faid he was a member of the Royal Arch Lodge, Maybole ; was admitted a Knight Templar along with Quinttn Stewart, and took the ortth, which was " to conceal the secrets of the Knights Templars, treafoli Si murder only excepted." John Andrew sdminiftered the oatla. There was no poli tical conversation in the meeting; of the Knights Templars* Wm. Hamilton wai under lodge scandal of having a child in a dultery, and lift the lodge after that. Gave an account of the ceremonies of admiflion ; does not remember of a pillol being fired at his admiflion, or any pistol fired that night ; and nothing was said about putting him to death ; saw a b.ilh and a caudle burning in it; was delired to look, and fee the candle burning and the buflt not confunied ; foine piece of fc-ipture was read. viz. the third ; chapter of Ex xltis : was led round the room —-and after that the obligation was taken. Qfleftioti by the Court.—Was any thing done after he was led round the room ? Anf. A human fku'l was difcove,red, and all Knights J emplars were to drink out of it. i He put it to hia lips. He was dubbed in the i name of the Father, Son and Holy Gbost. John M'Clure, Schoolmaster at Craigen croy. Said he is a Knight Templar ; was 'made in Maybole, along with seven more, 'wai present at Quintin Stewart's admiflion. The witnefa took an oath ; remembers little of the obligation in it, and cannot repeat i it; Murder and treason were except ed in iti, the fame as in the Mailer Ma- j sons oatfs that is to conceal the Mailer Masons secrets, murder treafon 'excepted, and that he fuppoled himfilf at liberty to t'eveal murder and treifon. He did not rh.iil: the ceremonies had a tenden cy t'6 Vidicute religion, as the observations ■wei'e I'uch a- ;t giod Chriflian migh: make ; and he heard nothing hoflile to religion or government. Croft questioned —Said he was a Royal ! Arch Captain and Hig') Prielt. Gilberj SadJer, Msybole, iani lie vvSTadmitted a Knight Tcfmplar at Maybole, about three or four years ago. 1 William Hamilton was alf> admitted, and the witness was present at his admiflion. The Knights are bound by an cath, but does 1 not reTe.uber the wurds of it. He w» b->und toconceal agi eat many things,"tree son and mwder only excepted." The fame oath was given to Hamilton, afid he ne ver heard any difference in the oath. Vari ous ceremonies wefe praclil'ed, but he can not give an account »f them. Queflioned by the Court.—Said he does not recollect he was dub'd in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Crofs<Juellioned. —Said he was Treasur er of the Lodge. Many other Witnt ffes corroborated these fa&s. Mr. OfwaU rofc and addreflTedihe Jury <sa the part of the proiecution ; after ma ,fcing some judicious remarks on the nature ©f l«dition,he next adverted »othe proceed ings and ceremonies which had taken place as proved "by the evidence which had been adduced ; these he conlidered had a tend ency to lidicale religion, and as the Jury had the fa£\s before them, they could therefore well form their concluUons on their import,Bt as religion ispratedledby the law, and is a part of the common law, therefore the ridiculing of it is an offence, for which a verdift mult be returned agamft the pannets, of the Jury ate latisfied that lhey have been guilty of it—These and many other other oblervations. Mr. Oswald stated with great force of reafon irg. Mr- Clerk, Counsel for the PanneU rose in.reply. He raid, he considered this cafe *s a very extraordinary one, as near five j years had elapsed since the fa£ts charged were said to have been carried on, and the prosecution had originated iu a dispute which took place between two Mason Lod ges in Maybole. Lord Justice Clerk Tumined up the whole evidence with great perspicuity and candor. His Lorddiip cbferved, that he cauld have wilhed that this prosecution had been bro't sooner, but this could not be imputed to the Jjrofecutor, for it did not appear that lie had delayed bringing his a£tton after he got the information. 1 hough this species of crime may not have occured in our law before, still the law may be applied to re medy it when it does occur, ihe Ipecial law eaided in regard to it does not infringe *B'n the law as it stood before. Thf*oath is not innocent, even as limited by the wit ncfics tor the Pa line Is, and though there is to proof that the Pannelshad entered into a dtlign of leading the perlons they admit ted into their focicty to lections praflices, - yet the oath may be employed for that pur pose. His l.o.dlhip laid,, he could not be lieve that any such ceremonies were em ployed in other Mason Ledge:, becaale they are £o abominable and itP«'ious j it ra ther appeared Uiaj this ivas a new oatH In troduced by the P&iinclt, and not in ule be fore in admitting Masons. Verdift of the Jury. All in one voice find the t'afts libelled— Not Proven. Tim Paanels were therefore afioilzied and difniifled frorv the bar. The following ciuious letter appears in the Moniteur of the 9th of September. It was written by Menou prior, to thole we ha.ve already publilhed oh the death of Kleber, and we believe has never appear ed in this country. J. Menou, .General of Division, to Citizen Buonaparte, firft Consul of the Repub lic. Rofetta, 28 Ventofe—Feb. IT. C'li:en Consul, The Englilh do not adhere to the capita lation. The folio Wing is the pi ejent llate of tilings. Lord Keith has taken the command of the English (lation'in '.he Mediterranean. He has tigiiified to Sir Sidney Smith that be .till not observe the articles of the capitu lation, *hd that if any capitulation were per mitted,it flioulti be one by which the French were made p r isoners of war, leaving behind them their cannon, their muikets, and ge nerally every they brought with thtm. S'r Sidnev .Smith has communicated this no tice to the General in Chief, informing him that he whs exceedingly lorry his powers were withdrawn from him. Far my part, ] believe that M. Smith was half in the lecret, and that the Englilh know no other than the jidt s punica. Events conspire, however, to prevent us from abandoning this execHent lettlement. Citizen Consul, I can assure you, that it is infiniiely more valuable than we believed it to be. From information collefted with great care, it is proved, that the U,eys ex pended here more than 60 millions, ulaurad and Ibrahim Bey alone expended ann tally 20 millions. There were 22 other Beys, 250 Cachefj, and Mamelukes, with out reckoning feme fool troops. The firil purchase and equipment di each Mameluke colls 1000 Spanidi piastres, and his annual maintainance amounted to be tween 1.500 and 20 0 francs. When they warned, ji house, Haves, and al 1 their furniture was given them. You may judge from this what the Caches. mull have received ho were proprietors of Icve ral villages, and alio what the other 22 13< ys mull have expended. It u proved that the Cophtt have deceiv ed us in the mod (hocking manner; tliey have always divided the levenuc of l'-gypt into three portions. One thitd they gave to the French, one third they retained to ■ themlelves, and the oilier third they tr?ni ; mitted to the fugitive Beys, (.ittlirfs,, f Mutni'luVe?., kc. I have this inclination si o.ii ihe bell source. It is true that the customs, which railed 15 millions, before the war, may now rec kon lor notlniig ; but there was a revenue of 45 millions, of which we never received more than twenty. On tfiis revenue all the depredations of our administrators have fallen; for you love truth, Citizen Canful, and yon mull be told that our Admiuiltra tiou here i- d"ie;iable. Avarice generally prevails, and nil principles of Jijhonr and morality a:e forgotten, l ime was necelr.iry to ture this evil j but eiicumftances have placed you more advantageously tor our h.if pittefs. It i> ceuain, then, that the Colony ol E gypt is a moll excellent acquisition for France, that all the expence ot its tratimi.and retaining it, need coll nothing to the Republic, since tint country has a territorial revenue more than fufficient to cove" every expence, and all the produce ot its commerce would be a net profit to France, but fliould we abandon it, the would take polTefllon of it, and entirely deltroy our commerce in the Levant. In conlequence of the conduA of the En glifli, the General in Chief has resumed a warlike attitude. Th< Grand Vizier's army is molt wretched.fix thouland Fieurh would I put it to '-he route, and we have more than I triple that number to eppofe to it. I am on j lyafiaid >elt the Englitli difccver iheit eiror, j and become lenlible of the nvi.xnL advan- I tage which the evacuation of Egypt Would j procure to them. In that cafe, what will j tfie General in Chief do? General Galhaud has arrived at Darniet ta, -.vhich was previoofly i,n the pofTefiiou of the Turks. He was taken ihere and con duced to Belays to the Grand V izier, who receiveH him well. In the audience the Fiench General tellified to the Vizier his aftonifhmcnt at the coalition of the Porte with Russia. The Vizier observed, that about two months after tlie mvafion of F.— gypt, the Englifii and the Uuliians propoled to the Grand leignior to enter into the coalition. He replied, tkat he had no ground for declaring war again II France; that it was true Egypt was invaded, but he required two months to fend to Fiance to iiiQtiire into the motives which had induced the French to take poflVlfion of Egypt. The Mmillers of England and Ruflia then declared, lhat they .would only allow him 24 hours to decide on w*r againfl France, or war againlt the liuffians and the Englilh ; then laid the Grand.Vizier, the Port was j obliged to vie Id. Fhe HulTians had confi de raule forces in the Black Sea, and there was nothing to oppoie them at Conflantino ple. It whs, therefore, necessary to declare war againll France. I have this important -anecdote from General Galhaud htmlelf, who was lent by the Grand Vizier to Damietta, proceeded ■thence by land to Roletta, and let out the day before yesterday lor Cairo. ABDALLAH J. MENOU. F;Soi a late timiWi P^tr. A gentlemnH who lias had the cunofity to Cep and convt<|r with the raw llesb Eat-er, has furnilheu us with the following fingnlar anecdwte, which he related ol himl>lf. About five years since he fell desperately in love with a butcher woman at Brell, and having plenty of money the produce of a fuccefoiul cruize in <* privateer, he made np scruple of paying bis addresses inform, not did he think that he had, at firft, any reason to complain ol his reception. But having, on his second visit devoured two. raw bullocks livers, his niiflrets expreilcd fomu.h dilguft, snd even horror, that he absolutely interd.fled hit *p|;ro>.tlitis for the future. Inflamed with love and stung with difappointnient, he made a foletnn vow to ablfain for ever from raw fiefh, and thr.tigh it was then dinner time, actually kept his resolution for the space qP fc.cn hours. After the lapse of that period, his hunger was so raging, and his love so ardent, that life became, as he thought, insupportable and he went down to the lea tide with the intention to dellroy himfelf— " Silent he -»an<<erM by the lhunJeiing roar, << Of billows tumbling on the founding ll.ore Whilfl he was ruminating on this despe rate purpose, an accidental occurrence gave a different termination to the business ; tor a huge field rat crofling at the time, he by an involuntary impulse, darted, caught, and bol'.ed it do*ll at a mouthful. From that moment he has never felt any return of the tender palllon, thought no more of his vow, and returned to his accuftonped regiyien.

On the 13th ir.lt. a Gentleman palling, by a small l oule at the lide of the Kdlatc river, in liergen county, discovered a hog in the ad. of devouring an infant ; it had already des troyed both the arms. Peoplr in the neigh bourhood were alarmed, and the bods being, examined by a coroner's inquefl, they foiind that the child had been murddred by its mo ther or Some other per lon unknown. There were marks of violence on the childs nccli, and there Was other c.use tor fuppuling that he had been defhr.ed, before Ins birth, to im mediate d.-flru&ieu. The mother, or lnr affilUnu had covertd the child (lightly in a small Hack of corn-tops in the garden, and the hog, trefpafßng in the gaiden, had found it. Suspicion fell heavy on a young woman who had lived two 01 three months in the houfs ra-ntior,ed. Herfkupehad attrafled notice ; llle had lately be.-n lick, and had re moved. But the witnesses who had observed her IhapeP could fay nothing certain ; for the fafhionable dress eludes dtlcuvery.

HAHN'S Anti-bilious Pills, WHICH have been attended with a degree of fucceis highly grateful to the inven- I tor's in several parts of the Weft-la dies,and the fjuthern parts of the United State-- particularly in Baltimore, Peterlburg, Rich, inond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmingt n.Charlef ton< Savannah. &c. The testimony of a oSm ber of ptrfons in each of the above places can be adduced, who have reason to believe that a timely us« of this salutary remedy, has, under Providence, preserved their lives when in the melt alarming circmnilances. Fails of this conclusive nature speak more in : fav.jur ofa niidii ine, than columns of pompoul | eulogy, founded on mere anerti"ii, could do. It is not indeed presumptuously proposed at : an infallible cure, but the inventor has every ! pofiib'.e reason, which can result from e*tea(ive | experience for believingthat a dofeof these pills, : taken once every two weeks during the preva { lence of oui annual bilious fevers, will prove afl infallible preventative ; and further, that in the ! very generally succeed in restoring health arid frequently in tales citecmed desperate and hey end the .. w.er of common remedies. The operation of these pills is perfeilly mile j and may be used with fafety by persons in ever situation and of every age. — j They are excellently adapted to carry oft fu 1 >erftuou4 bile and prevent its morbid fecretioos ; 0 reft ore apd amend the appetite ; to produce 1 free perfpiraticn and thereby prevent cotds which are «fften of fatal coniequence. A dqfe fievcr fails to remove a cold if taken on its appe trance. They are celebrated for Amoving habitual coiyvenefs, fickucfs of the'ftenaich and severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by all perfotfs on a change of climate.
