BAILLIF., " It. WILLIS." To reason on a side where we desire to be beaten in argument is neither the•most pleasing nor the most probably •triumphant•'task which !,miglit be undertaken, and such, we acknowledge, is our situation in speaking of the conduct of Sir ROBERT WILSON, Mr. HUTCHINION, and Mr. BRUCE. They are our Countrymen, and we wish thoy were blameless ;---their acts, to a certain degree, implicate the national xboracter and we wiati b'e , delighted to fin►l thent abiolved even from the charge of hotly. But our understandiug revolts at the absurdity and impudence of the justification which has. been labourcti in their behalf, as if to destroy them by a mock defence. " Save us trom our friends " noty, they will eXalliti, and kave 113 to the mercy of our foes. This defence is of a twofold kind, and so dissi lair in its parts, that one branch may be called tt justification on principle, and the other an apo 7 logy addressed to the feelings. They are utterly incunaiste•.nt with each other. It has been urged that the English of Ibis party in Tads haire been incensed. by the " murder" of NE r, LABEDOYERE, &c. and indignant at the breach of the 12th Article of the Capitulation of Paris by the Duke of WPAA.INGTON ; that there./ fore they held it to be their duty as Englishmen to save LAVALETTE, whose life they pretend was guaranteed by that Convention. This is the de fence: on principle tor rescuing a Traitor front the sentence of the law. Entirely at variance with this doctrine is the second line Of palliation—an excuse for a gene rous indiscretion in aiding a peewit to escape, Who, having already got oiu of gaol, appealed, without In evious concert or notice, to individual humanity, .to save him from execution. \Vc fear, from this being to tifiFr:tili)tieli : th at it is tint ilia title case. We with to Heaven it May ; fo‘r then, indeed, 'hough w e could not Commend the action, we could make allowance for the dread di!enuna into which pay Man must be thrown by such an address to, ledingi and humanity.
