Ms. CLARK' and Mr. IV•111)1.111, and the various iu,hvuluals, who, at different times, have come :forward to hear testi mony, or to depose to the consciousness of the Duke of Vona, in the maiversmirms of his utidrebs these actors ay. propelled hy hidden wires, and acted on by !natives or catra.b, not only concealed ham auusipen eyes, lout even, in souse mita • ••• sure. independent of themselves. Nrhat are those hidden causes, .it y be asked ? We reply. the "insensible but general and profound operatioh of war. of continental revolution, of knowledge and iuformition, among the inferior classes ; lastly", of our fainiliarity with convnlsions of every kind around us, which have levelled thrones and sceptres 10 the dust. Not that the throne of Groaos the Tufa°, nod of the illustrious House wow reig g, bears any, ex cept a general analogy, to those which lately exist ed on the Continent. The Throne of these realms, is placed on a constitutional, an elective, and a national foundation, which makes the felicity and prosperity of the people its find care, as well as duty. That, as being so constituted. it Mill out live the wreck of Europe, we never have doubted. That the insular position, and the maritime strength of Great Britain, may even, in some mea sure, defy . the aggregate force of the Continent, although directed by the subtilty, and veugeunce, and arms of Bow Aes,orli. we may hope with con fitience, though we cansiot vaunt ou it AS The answers given by Mr. CANNING, if, in truth, they must not rather be denominated eva sions, to the questions lately proposed by Mr. PoNsonnv, in the House of Commons. sufficiently demonstrate how delicate, precarious, slid hol low. are one present conoeximis with the.
