I say, the secrets of these horrid deeds (as we learn by experience I they are) divulged by other means than according to the base in' siottation, that the person who states them to the world must have been the very person who was sent by the 'tyrant to perpetrate the deed? Mr. Lovell states, not only that the Defendant was the person sent to Warsaw to cut off the Count de Lille, but : even that he gave the advice to Bonaparte to assassinate OW an* . , fortunate Monarch. Upon what authority does he state it? i Upou nothing, but merely upon the authority of the Publicas lion alluded to, which states the intrigues of the l'abinet of France. Upou that alone he reasons; nod says, that Mr. Geld ! smith was not only the intended assassin, but the projector of dint foal asclesikition. It appears by the papers put iii. and this nee ech of my Learned Friend, that tnere was a sithsequent poi lie:aqua of Mr. Goldsmith's ' as to the formation of a society to assaminate Bonaparte. The first represents th e Defendant us an En :ash subject having access to Bonaparte in France, and that he wi.L. to cut off the Count de Lille; and having faded in that aitempt, be' comes to 1:oglauil, Mid states himself to he tilt head lof the association for the purpose of as-assinating Bona• {carte.—Now, vet as see with what candour and propriety I - Mr. Lovell makes this charge agniust Mr. Goldsmith, when he j states that Mr. Goldsmith is raising a band of others for this de strectlve object. Iris consistent with my duty, as Counsel for Mr. tiohisnoth, to state the natur e o f hi s , the Defendant's, rea soning. hot astir whether his plans be reasonable or unreasoo able' 1 do not enquire; he reasons thus :—" I c o uld s h e * you I that it is lawful to go to war, and that it is lawful to make war saccesiful by the attainment of Peace, and to effect that object by all the means in our power, in order that the enemy may he destroyed. If you meet the enemy in the field it is lawful to • destroy him, nod equally so as It would be in regard to the Imeanest of his subjects engaged in war with you ; their object is to carry on a successful war, and get peace ' • my object is the same, but I will go somewhat further and 1 will thew that it is lawful to cuto ff th e machine, the spring from which that war loriginates, and to effect that object by assassiantion, and that is similar to ;none of his own deeds, which being deeds of blood I would justify our retaliating mum him, and making him nu es- I ample. Ministers," be says, •• lune means to carry on mil e wart but I have other means." Perhaps, with the vanity cf a I writer they may lie such as could not enable him to accomplish I his olvieri ; but as these tientlenteo, who are Editors of Papers, ' are deemed. us the Learned Counsel says, on the other side, to he the pro echo's of our liberties, they can write down chneac ter. affect public men, nod de-troy the private peace of iintivi d a - s; they can do all this, and they fancy they could do much more.

But this e kink man says, " Lam nut st Minister, I cannot conduct your Elects mod armies, but I condo this; 1 cati asatelate a chosen ma ul of Antigallican men ' to go forth I. murder Bonaparte. So says Mr. Lovell t but no, Mr. Laval knows that Mr. Goldsmith never started such a sentiment, although be, the Plaintiff, has chosen to put hisconstructionsupini his statement by cutting of is sentence to make the matter 'hurt. The Defeodaat's messing '- was, that Ministers might try to do it by Beets and armies, bat lays he, " I wit do it by peas and writers. I shall try and ac complish it by lay chaser hind of writers." Ile then goes on to , reason on the subject, and to ask himself " how son Ito accom plith all this? not by drawing a trigger, nor by putting a match . to a cannon, ; but by milightening the public mind." These. ewitletnen, are his sentiments; but I, for my own part, are not of opiniod, that we ran write down tyranny by chosen bands of writers, either consisting of Antigallicans or Anticonicans.— None of theseprople, our any one else, can write down Bona parte. My opinion is, that tt requires al! the resources of the country to wage war against suchen enemy; but it was evident ly my Client's wish to fill the Continent of Europe with pamphlets, containing passages written for the porpose of rous ing the public mind into a state of activity and energy there as Well as here, nd therefore he says, "as you are at war call me in as an mos diary ; Ido not mean to assassinate ; I do sot mean to use any thing sharper than the pen in order to write down the tvraut.' And yet with all this 'knowledge of what must base Dees the seutinsents of Mr. Goldsmith, hlr.
