Jewel's Defence of the Apologie.

The late Marquis of Montrose, being betrayed by a lord in whose house he lay, was brought prisoner of war to Edinburgh;

there the common hangman met him at the towns-end, and first pull'd off his hat, then he forced him up to a cart, and hurried him like a condemn'd person, tho' he had not been araign'd, much less convicted, through the great street and brought him before the parliament.

Home as they went, the sad discourse renew'd,
Of the relentless dame to death pursu'd,
And of the sight obscene so lately view'd;
None durst arraign the righteous doom she bore,
Ev'en they who pity'd most, yet blam'd her more:
The parrallel they needed not to name,
But in the dead, they damn'd the living dame.

and a fine species of rock crystal, commonly called the ARRAN. Arran Diamond, are found here. There are five small lakes in the island, from which two streams have their source.

On the coast also are two good harbours, Lamlash and Loch Ransa; besides commodious small ones, some of which were lately formed. The island is intersected with excellent roads, lately made under the direction of parliamentary commissioners. A few red deer, the remains of a numerous breed, are said to find shelter still among the mountains; and goats, though exceedingly destructive to the plantations, are yet harboured there. The cattle and sheep were formerly small, but a larger breed of both has been lately introduced. Black cock and other species of grouse are plentiful. Serpents, of which three species have been described, abound; but it is not said that their bite is mortal, although productive of serious injury both to men and cattle. Shoals of salmon, herring, and white fish, frequent the shores in such abundance, that a fishing establishment, which has been since given up, was begun here, for the purpose of supplying the Glasgow market with fish. The ordinary herring fishery is still a profitable occupation, there being at least 200 fishing vessels, well manned and properly fitted out, belonging to the island, employed in it. The stile of agriculture, however, in this island, was formerly extremely rude and disadvantageous, and agricultural implements very imperfect, but the improved system of agriculture, in all its branches, is now generally practised. Most of the high land was at one time a common, which afforded a scanty subsistence to the cattle during summer; and although a considerable number were exported, some are said to have perished during the winter for want of food. The whole of the cultivated land is now subdivided and enclosed, and the hills laid out in sheep walks. Small patches of flax are cultivated, and an inconsiderable quantity of linen, and some woollens, are manufactured. Most of the inhabitants evince a strong attachment to their island, a propensity for the sea, and a decided aversion to a military life. The Gaelic was formerly the universal language; but English is now becoming general, and 12 schools for teaching this language are established throughout the island. Arran is divided into two parishes, Kilbride and Kilmory; and its principal town, or rather village, is Lamlash. Conjoined with Bute, it forms a county under the name of the latter. There is a castle at Brodick, in Arran, close to the sea, which was garrisoned, in the reign

attributed to the prudence and moderation of Hadrian.

ARRAN, anciently Brandinos, an island on the west coast of Scotland, near the mouth of the river Clyde, 20 miles in length, by from 8 to 11 in breadth, and containing a superficial area of 165 square miles, or 105,814 acres, of which about 14,431 are cultivated. The surface is diversified by mountains and vallies, one of the former, Goatfell, rising, according to trigonometrical measurement, 2865 feet above the level of the sea. Marble, jasper, agates, cairngorms,

Bruce; it was afterwards garrisoned by Cromwell; but the inhabitants, exasperated by the conduct of the soldiers, are said to have attacked and killed the whole when without the walls. There is another castle at Lochvanza, built by king Robert II. for a hunting seat. A tradition prevails that Christianity was introduced here by St. Molios, a disciple of St. Columba, who prohibited the presence of females on the island of Lamlash, where he resided, and where his cave, a rude altar, and his well, are still shown. It is also reported that Ossian passed his latter years and died

on Arran. The island has been several centuries in possession of the family of the dukes of Hamilton. Population 6754.

Its northern division, the district of Kara-bagh (Black Garden), containing the romantic vallies of Ganjah (Genjeh, or Jenezeh), and Berdaâh (or Berdhaâh), was ceded to Russia by the treaty of 1812.

ARRAS, a large fortified town of France, formerly the capital of Artois, and now the chief place of the department of the Pas de Calais. The citadel is reckoned one of the strongest in France, and is the work of Vauban; and the town itself is one of the oldest in the kingdom, being the Origiaam and Atribatæ of Ptolemy and Cæsar. The great square in which the market is held is surrounded by handsome buildings; and both the cathedral church of Notre Dame, and the church of St. Vedast, are deserving the attention of the antiquary. Several manufactures of linen and

woollen stuffs were established here before the Revolution, as well as a porcelain manufactory; but they were ruined at that period, and are as yet very slowly recovering. The population is 18,872. This town is famous in history for a variety of sieges which it has sustained, and for having had the misfortune to be the birth place of Robespierre. ARRA'Y, v. ARRA'Y, n. ARRA'ISMENT.

Walcot. To my Candle. ARREST, in Common Law, is defined to be the execution of the command of some court of record, or officer of justice, by which a man's person is constrained or imprisoned. This, however, is correct only as to arrests in civil cases. In criminal cases of treason, felony, or breach of the peace, private persons may arrest without warrant or precept. By 51 Geo. III. c. 124, § 3, no person can be arrested or held to bail upon process, unless the cause of action be £15. or upwards, except upon bills of exchange. When a person has committed treason or felony, doors may be broken and an entrance forced; but not in civil cases, except it be in pursuit of one arrested.

Arrest of Judgment, is to shew cause why judgment should be stayed, notwithstanding a verdict given.

Ben. Jonson's Cynthia's Revels. ARRIEGE, a river of France, which rises among the Pyrennees in the county of Foix, and discharges itself into the Garonne. It is navigable as high as Saverdun, and gold has been found in several parts of it, near Pamiers. This river gives its name to a

ARRIEGE. department, which includes the ancient governments of Foix, Conserans, and a portion of Languedoc. The ARRIVE. population of this department is about 222,000, and it contains a superficies of 244 square leagues. The principal towns are Foix, which is the capital of the department, St. Girons, Pamiers, Ax, Tarascon, and Mirepoix. The surface of the country is wild and mountainous, and chiefly occupied in pasture. The corn which it grows is not sufficient for its home consumption. But its mines are productive; and it is principally in iron, turpentine, pitch, cork, resin, and other natural produce of that kind, that its trade

consists.

ARRIVE, Arrivare, It. Ariver, Fr. comARRIVAL, monly derived from the unused Lat. ARRIVANCE. adripare, that is ad ripam appellere, to come to a bank, or shore, venire alla riva.

Arrive and derive may then be considered as much in opposition as ascend and descend.
