Tiie vessel- arc tobeco,imandedby capf.ns Mack and Mo.throp, to whose enterpris it is said the scheme owes its origin.

Government, and atrial h jury heing the fr?t ever I rriri in Tirazil was accorded bp the Prince. He w as acqtiltcd. So strongly is the popular sentiment growing in favor of the liberty of the press, that it is doubtful whether a jury could be found who would return a virdict of guilty against any defendant charged w ith a libel.
