i~ 1 \ ~ • ~, . suspend twilit's, nor give up the positions they had conquered. unless they were compelled by force. This resistance greatly embarrasses the mediating Powers. Win they respect the Protest of Count Capo d'lstria? Then there is no • Protocol. What has been dime et laindon must be done over Again, add the negociations at Constaotindple, of which it was the basis, must remain suspended. Will they employ force to get lie Treaty executed? Who does not see thit behind Greece is &Obi ind behind Count Capo d' Istria the army of General Dishiest*, But suppose the three Powers agree to regulate or re interests of Greece. the Russian question remains entire.Volr e mlll the Sultan be made to comprehend that he must share with Rink the sovereignty of Moldavia and Wallachia—open his capital to the flag of all the nations of Europe—give up to his enemy im portant positions, and indemnify him besides? It is now said that the Ref. Effendi has dispatched a Dragooned to the heathquarters of General Diebitscb ; but what answer On he car, ? It is probable that the Sultan, while)). makes his last reserve advance, seeks to gain time ; bus it is wholly improbable that he will accept those conditions. And if peace were concluded in the East on such a basis, who would insure its duration? The Porte would seek to recover what It bad lost. Russia to coarsen date its advantages by new securities. Every election of a Hon* dar in the prineipalitim, or of a President of Greece, will endanger the general peace—the Porte supporting one candidate, Russia another, the neutral Powers taking part in the. quarrel, and each supporting the interests of its ally. It is easy to perceive that since the time (eight years ago) when the war commenced in a little corner of Greece, it has spread ra pidly, and now inflames all Europe. It was impossible for the Powers of the first order not to take part in a revolution which destroys their ancient equilibrium. Alliances and counter•alliances have been formed, and a system of defence gradually organised against the Continental pretensions of so many rival Cabinet. Should this state of distrust and jealousy continue a Rubberier, we shall see ambitious projects mingled with legitimate rights that have long been oppressed. It cannot therefore be dissembled that the peace of Europe is in considerable danger. This is, because it has been attempted to found it on tyranny and injustice. Diplomacy has never been able to proceed in any other manner from the Congress of Vienna to the Protocol of the 22d March inclusive. The Message des Meshes of &sudsy, and the &sate de France, dated Monday, contain no further news from the theatre of war. From the Journal des Debats. PARIS, Amon 2. A new discussion has arisen uto tke Minister of Marine. It ie not our weakness but our strength that is an object of complaint. France, it is said, is a Continental Power ; let her preserve her blood and treasure for the plains of Belgium, Italy, and Germany. it is useless to contend with the British navy. A few frigates will be sufficient for the English Admirals to burn, sink, or blockade all the ships that bear the name of our King. But why should we be so ready to discourage ourselves? France can, at the first signal of war, invade any Continental Power ; Is this a reason for giving up to another the empire of the sea? Cannot we be both a nation of soldiers and sailors? Have we not a vast extent of coast washed by the ocean and the Mediterranean? What will our trade say if we disarm ourselves the moment a cloud threatens from England ? Let us take advantage of the peace to form sailors, collect ships, and then let us confide in French valour. We do not see why a nation which has good harbours, experienced sailors. and men.-of war to receive them, should not sail over the seas with her unfurled flag. Traditions of glory are not wanted. Louis XI V: and Louis XVI. left us some that are very fine. Reforms in the offices and Administration may be necessary, but we leave this point to the good sense of the Minister. The Minister of Finance disposes of a terrific number of employ ments. He has a whole army of clerks, collectors, custom-house officers, &c. Ste. He can make one part of France live at the es. pease of the other. Among all this legion of officers, no doubt some might be found who are of no use. Why thee has the Chamber shown itself so complaisant to the department? The rea son is this—the Deputy, on arriving at Paris from the country, where he lives comfortably with 10,000 francs a year, is affronted at finding that a chief of a department at Paris receives twelve, fifteen, or twenty thousand francs. This appears to him excessive. But ten under darks, with 4,000 francs each, cost twice as much ; and if half of them are useless, why preserve them? Why heap censure on one, and be indulgent to the other ? The reason is, that among the ten clerks, a nephew, a cousin. or a near relation is pro vided for. Paris swallows up a few large salaries, and with that Paris is reproached in the provinces. The minor appointments are multiplied a hundred fold. A little calculation will show on which side the prodigality is prevalent. • From the Constitutionnel. PARIS, Allover 2. On ens Armes or rem Ran.—Public opinion does not appear to be completely settled concerning the war between Russia and Turkey. Some Journals, which have opposed the Greeks from the commencement, reproach us with favouring the cause of the Russians, and with not doing justice to Mahmoud. A few words will serve to explain the business. If we were only to consider the quarrel in itself, and the question separated from our present policy, and our future interest, we should be inclined to wish success to the Turks—sympathy for the weak against the strong, for the defender against the aggressor, is so natural, that in France there will be on•this subject but one opinion. But the question Is not so simple. At the side of the Sultan we perceive Prince Metternich sad the Duke of Wellington, united by the same interests, hopes, and fears ; we see Greece threatened, if the Crescent obtains its superiority with a tyrannic hospodorat, and inclosed within the narrow limits of the Peloponnesstts. We see the influence of the cabinets of Saint James's and Vienna will in crease, which is opposed to the liberty of all nations, and parti cularly to our imperfect and unguuanteed liberty. We ask those reasonable men, attached to liberty—the only ones whose suffrages we desire—ought we to make common cause with Metternich and Wellington? Can we, without losing sight of the true in terests of our country, imitate those who make themselves auxi liaries to the Turks, and applaud a triumph, of which the first result will be to bring into doubt the independence of Greece, and to ren der irresistible the influence which replaced Spain under absolute power, which tolerates the sanguinary despotism of the Portuguese Caligula, which keeps Italy in chains, and threatens us incessantly with the Ministry of M. de Polignac ? This would be an act of madness to which public opinion, enlightened by experience, would du justice. That the invincible obstinacy of Malsmoud, the energy of his resolutions, and his plans of reform, should be applauded, we conceive; but that, therefore, we must desire to see the Greek Cross, the banner of the HeUenians u well as the Russians, humi liated to assist the English and Austrian policy, • is an excess of generosity that looks like foolishness. We are incapable of it— we know who are our irreconcileable and restless enemies too well, to adopt a system which would strengthen them at the expense of our happiness and our honour. The sympa thies of the Quotialiesuse and Gazette de France cannot be like those of the Consiiismionnel. The calumnies of those papers convince us that we are in the right -road, and we shall try to keep in it. We are reminded that the Russian armies came into France, but where were the English and Austrian armies?— Who among them, in spite of capitulations, plundered our Museum of its best works. and allowed to be shed on a scaffold the blood of an illustrious warrior, whose talents and valour excited envy? Shall we seek to make the policy of such a man • popular? Shall his alliances and his friendships be also ours? Impossible France, tree and independent, wholly occupies us. .Ita liberty and Inde pendence can only bethreatened by a coalition hetween England and Austria. The coalition exists. It forms the present diplomatic rela tions of these two Governments. and these relations are hateful to us. ' As Russians, the Russians .are to us of no importance, but be cause they break up the arrangements the sworn enemies of the liberty of the people—beusue they make a diversion against the plan of absolutism which is to be made dominant in Europe, by falsity, fraud, corruption, and, if a necessity arises, by force. If the East were pacified to-morrow, the day after Greece would become independent, likr Wsllachia ; soon Carbonarism will then be brought into play, and imaginary conspiracies will be imputed. Have we nut already heard of the Comile-Direeteur Are there not attempts made to surround the throne with vain terrors, and to represent France as about to fall into anarchy? The watch-word is given to the faction, and that comes from London and Vienna. The enemies of our liberties at home and abroad are Closely united, and they approach the same object, marching together. The factious press of France is only the echo of the lay and siterdotal Aristocracy of Europe. The friends of liberty ought *sift to forget these things, and they may serve to guide. their juallpeot as to exterior policy. If the French Go vernment has redOvered some consideration in Europe, it is in debted for it to thOatairs of the Ilse. The Ministry has not had energy sufficient to throw off entirely the influence of Austria and England ; but the moment is not far distant when it will be forced to take a definite line of conduct ; and then it must fall or rise to its proper place. At that time the fate of Constitutional France will be decided. But we will not anticipate. In such a state of things union is mere than ever necessary among the el deems who profess the same pimento'. and share the same opinions. The storm which is brewing nsse..not find us divided by petty interests, unweithy of men zmd patriots. We conquered by union in 1827, and by union we may conquer again. Jealousies, rivalries, enmities most be lad asidb when mul liberty is threatened. It is making a slight sacrifice for a great benefit. Our enemies boast of our divisions, and on ,them found their hopes. We will show then, that they are ,Ining.—Conititutional 'opinions win rally all good citizens, and the faction threatening us with absolu tism will only bate dreasfied chimeras.

The sensation produced in the public mind, by the ex periments hazarded upon its better sympathieS by the Times, in its commentaries on the detention of the Lo nach, has caused that journal to pause in its impatience of Miguelite demonstration. It feels, leading journal as it assumes to be, that it had ventured beyond its mark; that indignation, instead of acquiescence, was gathering round it; and that popular disfavour—if it persisted in that flagitious direction—would overtake it in the ratio of its former popularity. Accordingly, it is enlarging its heart once more, for the re-admission of kindlier sentiments to wards the betrayed and.innocent Donna Matzen; collate rally, though—we suspect—prompted to this enlargement, by the ministerial difficulties with which it knows the ques tion to be surrounded here. That the disposition on the part of Government, has been to acknowledge MiG u EL — rather than MARIA—we regret to say, can be proved by abundant evidence : but it hesitates, on the threshold of its fatal policy, to balance the probable mischiefs which would follow its consummation. In the mean time, let not the country be deceived by the fair appearances of amity with Don PEDRO, and hospitality to his exiled.daughter. It is true she was receivA, when she landed in this country, with the honours paid only to acknowledged sovereignty—royal salutes were fired from the ships in the harbour, and from the fortresses on shore— and all this by the command of Ministers : that Guards of honour were appointed to attend her sacred person, and even our gracious Monarch received her in state, and pledged her at the banquet by the title of Queen and Ally. But all this was a contrived artifice, to pre serve undetected the deep diplomacy Is hich was going forward : a hollow demonstration to lull the unsuspect ing public, while the Noble Earl was " reconciling" —as he calls it—" conflicting interests," and pre paring his plans and tools for counter-operation. Vis count ST RA G FOR D—properly primed and loaded—then sailed for the Brazils. The iniquitous instructions which he received, so at variance with the honours and recog nitions by which the QUEEN was surrounded in England, have been fulfilled in their completest spirit. What could the Emperor Don PEDRO do, against such an ' overmatch as the Noble Duke and the Noble Earl ? Where were his resources—either diplomatic or phy ' sical—to enable him to run counter to the dictation of the English Cabinet, and not hazard his own throne by intervening against its will ? He submitted ; what else remained for him ? Nature became abeyanced under State necessity. So ample were the powers given to Lord STRANGFORD, of tying up the hands of the Emperor in this dispute, and so far-sighted have been his provisions, that a pledge has been exacted from Don PEDRO—and given by him not even financially to assist his daughter. And the Noble Earl still talks of the neutrality of England ! CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened this morning at the same price they left off yes terday,llll4 for the Account ; soon after they were done at 88f 3, and mil for Money. The market appears firm at present. In the Foreign Market Scarce a bargain doing at present. No tidings to this bout of the arrival of the Hamburgh steamer. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. We have been exceedingly dull during the morning for the want of some information to cause an energy in the Consol Market. Consols have continued, from the oprit,g price, which was 88/ to 8811, to the present time with scarcely any ',miners doing. The Foreign Market is very languid—nothing doing except in Bonds, which have a little improved. By the information re ceived from hi° Janeiro, by a ship arrived at Guernsey, it appears that unfavourable accounts have been received of the Brazil mines, which have only produced, in eight days, 64 lbs. of gold, which is a falling off since the last accounts. Accounts from Smyrna of the 20th of Juhe, mention, that the Hellenes are nearly masters of the Ancient Crete, some few strong places excepted, which are in the hands of the Turhs, where militia are generally more ex perienced in the art of war; but the Greeks are braver in the various desperate engagements which have taken place. The unfortunate persons taken by either party are immediately put to death ; even women and children. Fortunately during this war of extermination, the French ships are mixing off the coast, and the officers effec tually snatch from death the women and children from the cohtending parties. Barbadoes Papers, to the 30th June, state that the Island of Dominica'is in a state of agitation on account if the arrest of one of the Members of the House of Assembly. The constable was ordered forthwith to the bar of the House he receiyed his order from the Provost Marshal ; the latter pleaded that the House was not sit; .thig at the time of the arrest; he was sent to prison, mid his office was about to be taken from him. The Gover nor disapproved of the proceeding, and prorogued the House of Assembly. The sentence against Mr. Osborne, the Solicitor-General of Grenada, has been confirmed by the Colonial Secretary: he is superseded. •DEATH OF COLONEL PERRIAR, OF THE , COLOMBIAN ARMY: AND MEMOIR. We have a melancholy task to perform, in announcing the death of this accomplished Officer, which took place at Paste, near Cardigan, on the 18th of March, after a months suffering, by dysentery. Lieutenant-Colonel Joon Fiestas was, we believe, the youngest son of the late Dr. Feamaa, of Manchester, a name equally honoured in medicine and in letters ; the friend and associate of Roscoe, and those intellectual spbits, whose taste and elegant minds contributed to shed over Liverpool, and the surrounding society—at least during their own timee--en almost Athenian lustre. Mr. Fasstua, at an early age, obtained his first military appoint ment In the Commissariet of the British Army, during the Peninsular campaign of 1815 ; and he was prevent...in that capacity—at the battles of Vittoria and Toulouse. He sailed afterwards, with the expedition of Sir Joint ILLS', to New Orleans ; and on his return was sent to Flanders, where he arrived two days after Waterloo. Included in the reductions eonseqsent upon the peace, he made various attempts to get out to India— Sierra Leone—and other Colonies. Early in 1817, his elder brother, Mr. Tames Fess:as—a that time on half-pay of the illid Light Infantry, and living in the Netherlands—joined a small number of °Seen going out to Colombia, who expected that the well known Captain Suraowrrs would follow, and take the command of their corps. Mr. Joirn l Feassaa, on hearing of these arrangements, wrote to Flushing, to be allowed to be included : but before the letter arrived, the little, band bad sailed. He followed it, however, in a few moods ; though not without experiencing some dilliculty, resulting from the Bill just then passed prohibiting foreign enlistment. When the two brothers met in the country, beyond Aogostura, the int salutation of the elder war" Jacx, I am heartily sorry to see you /sere !" Both were for some years with General Paw, and on his getting two or three pieces of artillery, the Fsaataas were selected to fosso a company, and to drill the men. The numerous English carps that had gone out under different leaders being all dispersed, the men were now collected, and formed into an English legiso, the command of which—in process of time—devolved oo Wood Thomas Proems, who led it at the battle of Carabobo, where he fell. He had a public funeral, &taros attending it as chief mourner ; and the name of the Legion was altered to " Battalion of Carabobo," on account of the signal share which it bad in ob taining that day's victory. He was succeeded in the commiod by Colonel YOUNG, who shortly afterwards resigned, and that regi ment then devolved to Colossi Joint Fatima*, the subject of this memoir. For a considerable period he had little else than garrison duty to perform : until about three years ago—during the absence of Bo urea in Peru—his old commander and personal friend Pam raised the standard of revolt. On that occasion, Colonel Faustus assem bled his officers, reminded them of their oaths to the Republic, and persuaded them to sign a declaration of t►eir attachment to the Liberator. Colonel Fsaau,a, with his Regiment, then left alaracaybo, where he had been long stationed, and was much beloved : at this juncture, be was made Military Governor of the Province of Coro. On Bouvaa's return, be was honoured with an embrace a gold medal was conferred upon him—ia addidas to that of the Order of Liberators, which be received on its tint institution—and distinguished mention was made of his name in General Orders. After the settlement of those disturbances, Colonel Exams went into garrison at Carthagena, where a pestilential climate achieved what steel and fatigue bad failed to do. The death of such an Officer is a great loss to the Colombian service : his public merits were so high, that it seems almost derogatory to speak of his personal and private qualities...-. Yet we have seen and felt--and cannot but vividly remember —hi scenes of social and festive intercourse, the fascination of these ! He bad the rare art, alone of all Englishmen in Colom bia, to conciliate the attachment, and win the confidence et the jealous Creoles, as weU by his happy temper, as his perfect acquaintance with their language. Nose adhered to the cause In which he was embarked, with Armee constancy :—None, we know. were more sincerely attached to the Liberator; and In his letters home, we can testify of our own knowledge, with what indignation he spurned the reports concerning Boum is aspiration to a crown. Letters from the Mauritius, to the 27th of April in clusive, inform us that an English vessel had arrived there from Madagascar, with intelligence of the loss of the French schooner of war, La Turquoise, commanded by M. Marion. The officers, crew, and materiel were saved. Accounts from Bucharest state that Baron STEFFAN° DE MEITANI, banker at the above city, who had pre viously furnished the Russian army with fifty thousand cattle, has recently contracted with the Russian Govern ment to furnish them with fifteen thousand covered carts,' , with two horses each, for the conveyance of baggage and ammunition for the Russian army. Accounts from New York of the same date as last received, Bth July, state that new measures have been adopted at the Custom House there. They thought pro-. per to cause the woollen goods imported by the Silus Richards to be examined, and actually measured the square yard ; inspected the quality, and decided upon the valuation, in order to test the integrity of the invoice. The practice had previously been only to examine a cer tain portion of the packages, while the cargo goes to the wareroom. This measure was owing to complaints being made to the Treasury department that woollens were en tered below their actual value. The publication of this in our Journal will tend to caution other merchants in London and in the different ports of the kingdom, who may ship in future to the United States, to be on their guard. St. George's Hospital is to be immediately razed to the ground. with a view to replace it by a building infinitely larger, and much more commodious for the claritable purposes of this noble institutioo. Four sailors appeared a few days ago before a naval tribunal at Toulon, on the charge of being ringleaders in the recent 'mutiny of the crew Of Le Conquerant. Three of thembeing de clared guilty, one was sentenced to imprisonment for two years and the two others for a year and five days. The fourth prisoner was acquitted. Anisvirrus, the Greek philosopher, when at the point. of death, directed his friends to carry him to the city gates, and to place his coach in such a situation as to the last of life he might enjoy the verdure of the fields, and the splendour of the 'heavenly luminaries. The manly game of Cricket is making rapid progress In the north, particularly in Cumberland. Two or three years ago the game was scarcely known in that county—now there are about eight strong clubs, and during the present season several spirited snatches have been played. The cricketers of Cumberland are fortunate in their patrons : amongst the most conspicuous of whom may be placed Wilfred Lawson, Esq. of Brayton Hall. a magistrate of the county, a gentleman of large fortune, of the most affable manners, and possessing a warm love for the old. faakioned character and manly sports of Englishmen. Young men sometimes destroy females, in fits of thwarted love.

REVIEW OF PRESENT POLICY. The relative situation of Europe, and indeed of the wink world, at the present juncture, appears to the at tent w e observer so extraordinary—eo replete with inconsisteenks_44t N ao moot mute and experienced Statesman were to guide hi s judgment of the future by the rule of precedents, he would b e it a loss to find any thing bordering on analogy. On whichever side we turn our view, we find, with very exceptions, a strange vacillation of principles.—declaratloa s au actions at perfect variance with each other—an absence of aw e ,* and cordiality among the Cabinets. Every thing forebodes a cri a l, , and a speedy solution of the problem. The least - judged pretension advanced by either party—a bring on a general conflagration. Hostile intentions and views of aggrandisement, by every Cabinet, wbibt principles of peace and kindly proclaimed. Under the delusion of the vertkeless, one power overrun the territory 'orighbour—nay, even threaten his total extinction, One be manfully asserts his rights, and refuses principle by which be is dispossessed, by dhree of s larg,e portion of his dominions. upoa the mere “ Expediency.” At this crying act of injustice, the same Powers destined the partition of Poland, remain passive spectators- 4N to say acceuaries. If we reverse the picture, we see tyranny and usurpation perst e unmolested its sanguinary sway, without even the shadow et in terference on the part of civilized neighbours and ancient allies whilst a country, proverbial for the exhaustion of its finances, on. espectedly, and to the no small surprise of the world, by a puny effort, attempts to re-conquer colonies for ever alienated and re. cognised as independent States, as if the days of a Coatis were still to be revived. In another hemisphere we have the melancholy spectacle of infant Republics—hardly emancipated from thraldom —torn to pieces by intestine convulsions her sons, instead of consolidating that poUdcal edifice which their valour and constancy have erected, trample the emblems of liberty under foot, and struggle for a phantom—power. How much more might not be said on this interesting subject! What acts of oppression—what imbecility—what incapacity might not be enumerated! But we take leave of it for the present, and only hope that Statesmen may at length awaken from their lethargy, display a small portion of wisdom, and thus prevent the awful crisis there is too much reason to fear. EUROPBUS. There is no true Englisbman who Peruses some of the daily papers, but must feel his blood boil with indignation in his velar, —to beholdthe good sense and character of the country insulted by insidious arguments to support measures revolting to all who possess any real attachment to the free Constitution of , these realms. Glorying in the advantages we possess under a represen• tative government, you must judge from self-experience that the rest of mankind would be equally blest under similar institutions ; and therefore seek to see them established, for the promotion of human happiness, throughout the whole face of the habitable earth. You would blush at a sentiment that would subject us to a suspicion of being selfishly desirous to confine the enjoyment o wise liberty to this spot of earth alone. This ought to be your language—and the language of the British press :—fondly attached to our British constitution, from a recollection of all the misery from which it has saved us—from a conviction that its construction is the very perfection of legislative wisdom, and the best calculated—if preserved in its true spirit—to secure the rights of the subject, we consider it consistent with this opinion to commiserate the people of other nations, who are condemned still to drag the chain of barbarous systems—debarred from that blessed light which we have held out to them as a beacon to lead them on. Can the friends of a free Government at home be sincere when they advocate despotism abroad 7—there can be but one answer—Nu. What man can be true to himself, and de fend perjury in his neighbour?—honest, and uphold spoliation Who can love freedom, and take cause with oppression ?...etrid who can maintain that any may be faithful to the principles of oar sacred Constitution, and at the same time aim at the de struction of those very principles when maintained beyond the precinct■ of this island? Let the public rouse their attendee and carefully examine the character and tendency of the writings thrown daily among them. A traitor at war with the spirit of his country, only shows, by insiduous argument that be would do for us what he would do for others,—over. throw the glorious work of freedom cemented with the blood of our fathers; and, to serve power or pocket the secret bribe, burl us back to the same state of political degradation from which it is our glory to have been the first to emerge. There is net a true man iu this kingdom, whose heart does not rejoice to know that surrounding nations are awakening from their le thargy and struggling to be free. From the mansion to the cot. tage, warm prayers are sent up for all who vindicate the cause of constitutional liberty ; and those who, leaguing with the tyrants of mankind, wield an English pen in hostility to their ge. serous efforts, outrage British feelings, and commit our national character with the rest of Europe. Despotism sneering at the de fence of oppression—freedom, spurned and unaided, execrating as for selfishness and treachery—What Englishman reflects on Spain and dues not mourn over the miseries of its people—groaning under the atrocious Government of knaves and tyrantst— Who dues not sympathize with every native of that country who, burning for its welfare, seek to emulate our Hampden and our Sydney.? When the Spanish Colonies burst from the slavery of centuries to assert the rights of liberty, who amongst us felt cold to their cause T.—Who thinks of Greece and does not pray for its success ?—and what British heart, interested in the welfare of an old ally. does not deplore the present fate of Pot- Sugal—crusbed in her fond attempt to model her institutions after the example of Great Britain, now wallowing in the slough of igno rance,—and weeping tears of blood under the merciless scourge of a miscreant usurper, stained with perjury, and immortal as a wretched creature of vice and violence?—Alas ! that we must say yes f —there are same born on British land, who lure been cradled in the very lap of constitutional freedom, yet still ad.. vocals slavery and blood, and daily disgust us with praises of tyranny and defence of crime ! These rejoice—seye, and dare to givetbeir joy utterance—that Greece, after all, Is about to fall once more tributary to Turkey : they have just risen to champion Feantemm—the Spanish Nero. His afflicting reign is described as a milleuiem upon earth—they would propitiate, with their prayers, the sweep of his invading fleets laden with chains for Mexico —the constant struggle of patriotism in these regions, against successive conspiracies of the tyrant's emissaries, is called love di turbulence and blood ; and the oppressor is feelingly invoked to quell their pretended cruelty, as if liberty was ever wrested from the hands of despotism without a flow of blood from victims and oppressors. But their daily efforts to defend the atrocious hlsaum.are mere abominable still, u they are made with barefaced effrontery, as if we were a race of buccaneers to be reconciled, by a little sophistry, to perfidy and murder. The Royal child coo 'tidied to our care, and interesting to all manly bosoms from ►be extraordinary circumstances under which she is placed, has bees, to our eternal disgrace, the object of their cowardly attacks; and the victims of constitodosal principle* who surround her, are daily made the subject of infamous calumny or low ribaldry. Their eudeavours to erect a Constitution have subjected them to as much persecution as if they bad been guilty of pulling ow down :—faithful to their legitimate Sovereign, they are treated as traitors, and their' adversity in exile made cause of inhos pitable brutality and mirth. Every success of their enemies is cheered as a blessing. Munn, with his plotting monks and bloody executioners, is supported with ardour ; his insults on oar Maser complacently slurred over, or borne out as sets of whole some justice. Now, whence proceeds these monstrous sentiments, so sew to the writers of this country,--aad whoa= the public apathy with which they are read ?
