ethos who forged them for a whole, nation t and We the Parisians have dorm by a spontaneous and 1 instinctive movement of their own. There was a plot on the part of the Crown and its profligate Ministers; but no plot, no premeditation, no com bination oe the part of the people, even for their own defence ; and yet the latter have triumphed. As for the King and the Duke of Angouleme, if they escape the guillotine, it is much more , than such vagabonds deserve; but still we are not sorry to hear that their escape is to be permitted, or to be connived at. We should have been glad if Ikey Solemner could have been hung legally ; but the stretching a point to stretch him might have been drawn into an injurious precedent egging one less criminal. With respect to the French Ministers, let the law of justice work its high behests upon them,---no one will pity them : they fully deserve their. fate. But let not , the British public mistake : we will• readily accept the assur ances which we receive front all quarters, that force and warlike aggression are at tut end on the part of Charles Cepa and his son, and that they will be unanimously spurned and oast out by the voice of ' the whole nation. Now, therefore, is the stage clear, and now is the time for political intrigue and ma nteuvring. Tire minds of a generous people, exulting in their victory,and proud of their strength, are open to ell kinds of delusions. Advantage may be taken of their excitement by political adventurers of the Corsi• can school, seeking their own aggrandizement through the disturbance of the state. Let Frenchmen, if they tender their own happiness and the peace of Europe, beware of such. We confess we see nothing distinct pf this port , yet, but we dread popular commotion', even in a just cause; for the fury sometimes continue" and propagates itself after justice is satisfied. The Crown, tt. is said, is to be tendered to the Duke of Orions. From all that we have beard of him, he is a Prince worthy of it, and of the confidence of,the French nation. We refer to our letters: they are filled with hnportant matter, and the persons who write them are men of no common influence.—Times. , The all-engrossing subject of conversation is the wonderful proCeedingi of the last week in Paris.— Details now pour in from all quarters. We have seen letters from individuals of distinction in Paris, ,to their friends in London, begun before the hosti lities comMenced—interrupted at the moment, the writers sallied out with their muskets, determined to conquer or die—and finished when the fight was over. The streets were cut up in a thousand places the people heaped up the stories and made redoubts of them. An Englishman gives a description of scene he witnessed at one of these redoubts. Behind it the people were resisting the onset of a body of Swiss Guards. A body of females rushed from a lateral street with pitch-forks and knives, and simi lur instruments of destruction, fell on the rear of the Swiss, and in the twinkling of an eye numbers of them were weltering in their blood. The English in Paris have not all been idle speculators of the heartsstirring events passing around them. The fol. loivinf extract from the letter of a lady to her hus band in London, alluded to an instance, by no means we believe, a solitary one of active participation 44 What a pity-4ou that are an amateur—that yen have not been here to ire a pattern revolution. The French, from being a warning, have; become an example—a glorious example, to all nations. Never was anything more prompt, more virrous, more intelligent, and, after the most tri umphant success, more moderate. And all condor:tett by a populace unprepared, and absolutely without chiefs. Not a single act of unnecessary destruction nr violence of any sort has been committed. Yesterday evening we walked through crowds of armed men in all the intoxication of victory, without the slightest inconvenience. The tri coloured Iles And cockade were displayed in all directions ; the people were ,parading the streets with garlands of roves hung on the point of their bryonets; and from one' end of Paris to the other nothing was beard but one universes!

Whet hue been done at Paris and the other town& of France, ought to teach us never to despair of the progress of mankind. The voccets of the Onus of the Holy Alliance, and • gill more the success of 'their intrigues in. Spain - and Italy, led many worthy men almost to despair of the good cause. The nations seemed prostrate. Behold the greatest na tion of the. Centinent appears in an instant more erect than ever she was—more heroic than ever—. and more than ever impressed with a deep sense of the value of a government of law and order 1 The blood that was shed in the Revolution has not been shed in vain. The agitating events too of the last forty years have led men to estimate at their proper value the goods of fortune—to enjoy them without being their slave, and have, in short, pro duced that manliness of character which the long continued prosecution of gainful pursuits is but too apt to injure. We cannot believe that Austria or Prussia, if ever they dared to promise aid to Charles the Tenth, will now think of keeping their word. Whet has passed in the great Courts must be rather a matter of conjecture than of certainty. Our own Government Ints always, we know, been suspected by the Freneli There is, we know, a profound hatred in the Oligarchy of England of the conse quences of the , French. Revolution ; and indeed they have never disguised their dislike of the operation of the French Laws of Property and Election. Even Sr Francis Burdett - cannot divest himself of his admiration of feudalism, and consequently his dislike of the independence produced by the Law of Succession. But there is a difference between this dislike and the countenancing such horrid pro eeedings as those of the French King. The Slumlord of last night, however, observes— , '4 it is plain that if the voice of England be not now plainly beard, we Must lie under great (though, as far as the nation is concerned, unjust) suspicion of favouring the enterprise of the deposed tyrant; and it is equally plain, that if the flame of • political jealousy be once kindled be tween the nations, the affairs of Greece, the affairs of Al giers, the affairs of Portugal, or it may be of the Netherlands, will furnish a thousand necasiona of throwing England and France, and all Europe, once More back into all the guilt and misery of war. But it will be objected that the auspicions under which Great Britain .may seem to lie are chimerical anti groundless. No matter if they were ; fur peace sake, we are bound to dissipate even chiMerical and groundlesa suspicions, if they tend to war ; but are the suspicions of the connivance of the British Ca'thinet, or or of a part of it, at the enterprise of the late King of France, indeed chimeric!! and groundless? Let us sec 'the total absence of any party in France, upon whose sup port the King could rely in his desperate undertaking—a circumstance remarkably illustrated by the events of the week—demonstrates that be trusted, in the 'fiat place, to the success of his coup de main against Paris, and ulteriorly to the support of some foreign power. It is no answer to say that King Charles was a fool, who looked for such a miracle. Hir Ministers, however foolish they may be thought, did not all labour in the same insanity. They must have known the„state of France well ; they must have known that, unaided by foreign bayonets, the King must be defeated in his enterprise, and yet they perilled their hearts in that enterprise. But if the King of France expected foreign aid, front whom did he expect it ? Russia was too distant, so was Austria; Prussia, Spain, and the Netherlands were too weakalit! the French King thenex pert the active support of England? Perhaps not—but be must have expected her connivance, and an encourage ment front her, or be would never have risked the desperate hazard that has ruined him; such, at least, if . 0 be not the soiled opinion, moat be the opinion of every Frenchman even at this stage of the inquiry, and it is confirmed as the inquiry proceeds." This we think is building upon a slight founda tion. The subject is, however, treated ►n more de tail in the following letter we have received from a correspondent : " To EDITOR of the MORNING CHRONICLE. tt Stu,--Never was an act of violence so gratuitous, se unprovoked, and at the same time so rash and dangerous, as the subversion of the French Charter by the Royal Or dinences of the 2bth of July. The sanctity of oaths, so frequently repeated, and every moral obligation, have been totally disregarded. , It has met with its reward. France indignant rose in enus, and Charles X. has ceased to reign. " In wbut a noble manner has France answered her detractors—what an example has she set to oppressed nations. Well may she now call herself the great nation! Bhe has acquired more glory than in twenty campaigns against a foreign enemy. It may be objected, that all is not settled, and that the league of despots, called by de rision the Holy Alliance, will reestablish Charles the Tenth on his throne. Let um hope that the experience of )79.2 will render them more prudent. But should they I be se blind as to interfere, the enthusiasm for liberty, and the return of 400,000 old soldiers to their standards, will ensure to France new triumphs and, perhaps, finally break the yoke under which the subjects of those despoil groan. _ _ " It is interesting at this moment to investigate the causes which have led to these events. It has been con. fidently asserted, and is generally believed in France, and the greatest part of Europe, that'the British Cabinet has been the principal instrument in =raising Prince Polignac to the 'Ministry, and has traced out to him the line of con duct which he ought to pursue in order to undermine and overthrow the French Constitution, so odious to the Aris tocracy which governs this Country. " This assertion has, on the other hand, been as posi tively contradicted, cud our Ministers have, on various occariolls, disclaimed their having used any influence on the councils of the French Court. That this denial is true In point of f orm , we w ill readily ethn it. It is, indeed, improbable that any direct official communication should have been made by our Ca binet. Such advice, given officially, might have come to light, arili compromised our ministers, or perhaps *mild have even offended the vanity of Charles X. and his ad visers. There ean, however, be very little doubt that, in fact, our Ministate contributed in a very great degree to the measures in question.

Hut the must scurrilous libel, and the strongest evidence of the political npinians of our Ministers is to be found in an article of the last Quarterly Review.

" I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient humble servant, " August 2. " PUBLICOLA." We may believe all that is stated in the above letter, without supposing that the Duke of Wel lington believed the attempt would be made to trample directly on the Constitution. That the Mite hates the Law of Election, as every English Aristocrat does, we can believe—that he has no faith in virtue or honesty is also possible—that he conceives Government can alone be carried on by corruption is only supposing him to share the opi nions of the body to which he belongs—that he may have even suggested to Prince Polignac the benefit of ridding France of laws which are such an eye sore to our higher orders, is probable; but still he might have had only in view the exercise of those means of sapping, which are so well understood in England. We will not believe, without further evidence, that any Englishman contemplated what has taken place in France; though there may be many among us who may wish that things had taken another turn. However, the nation must drew to the world that it does not share sentiments so un worthy of human beings.-- *Morning Chronicle. The people of France have taught a great lesson to nations, and the conduct of the French King ought to be no less instructive to Sovereigns. When we compare the ferocious and indiscriminate violence of the former revolution with the steady disciplined and considerate bravery of that which has just happened, we cannot avoid perceiving that the human mind has made great progress in France during the' last forty years. It is true that blood has been abundantly shed in Paris; but according to all that we can hear, the people, in repelling force by force, have not been tempted into any acts of cruel or vindictive retaliation, They met their ene mies in arMs—they conquered and they spared—no recollection of injuries survived the power of resist ance. Their devotion to the cause of their country was not greater during the continuance of the murderous conflict than their attention to the claims of humanity when the struggle was over. By conduct so elevated by heroism and tempered with clemency the people of Paris have greatly raised themselves in the estimation of the civilized world. We have always deprecated popular violence as well as regal oppres sion ; but we admit, with the most virtuous and dispassionate of philosophic Statesmen—the immor tal Locke—that there are emergencies in the affairs of nations, when nothing is left to the people but an appeal to Heaven. Such was the emergency which Charles X. created. his insane and wicked subversion of the Charter, and his violation of the oaths by which it had been consecrated and gua ranteed, allowed the people no alternative but an abject submission to arbitrary power, or a violent assertion of their liberties. They did not long hesitate between the suggestions of prudence and the imperative demands of duty. Stimulated by a common sense of w r on g , an d a common sent i ment of danger, they acted with the unity and prompti tude winch made their patri o ti sm a p pe a r lik e a sud deninspiration. They confounded the armed bands of the tyrant, a s m uc h b y t h e su dd eness, as b y the intrepidity of their resistance; and the streets of Paris afforded examples of devoted heroism, which would have done c re di t t o t h e prou d est d ays o f Sparta. As to the wretched old man who has been the cause of all this bloodshed, what is to be come of him ? He has dissolved for ever his con nection with the French nation. Ile must be a fu gitive on the ersith; but the land that gives him an asylum cannot protect his name from the execration of history. Like our last Monarch of the infatuated race of Stuart, he preferred the 'sordid assiduities of a few malignant Priests to the love, the affection, and the honest homage of the universal people. Ile hes fared accordingly. But may not what lie has attempted in Paris be but a grand experiment, to try how far the despotic principle could prevail m Europe, by the aid of military force, over constitu tional liberty ? We hope he stood alone in his atro cious attack on the very existence of rational free. dom in France; but a strong suspicion has gone abroad that he acted, if not under the direction, at least with the connivance, .of Foreign Powers. Al ready effort s are m aki ng to p rocu re public meetings to cull our Government to disavow all intention of interfering with the affairs of France. We do not admire the policy which our Government has for some time pan pursued. The attempts made to suppress, the liberty, of the Press in this country by proceedings that scarcely fell short of Starschamber practice—the evident sympathy of some of our Ministers with the miserable tyrant Don Miguel—the attack upon the unfortunate fugis tives from his oppression in the waters of Terceira —and some other acts indicative of a strong bias towards absolutism, might give some colour to die suspicion to which we have alluded—but we think it would be premature to cull meetings on the sub ject, until our Government, by some overt act, efforded evidence of an intention to assist the cri minal and outcast Bourbon. We cannot believe them so base or so infatuated as to have any such intention. If they have it will soon be known, and then it will be time enough for The English public . to express their abhorrence of a policy that would again embroil this country with France, for the Seiko of a family who have disqualified themselves to reign over any people who are pot sunk in the lowest coodition of initialed debasement.—Murn.

MANSION-HOUSL Mr. Martin Foster, an attorney, residing at No. 17, Lawrence Pountney-lane, appeared before the Lord Mayor to complain of a degrading but not a violent assault, which he had received, not from the hands, but the mouth of Mr. Henderson, a wine-merchant or warehouseman, whose premises are attached to those of Mr. Foster. Both are men of respectability. According to the complainant's statement, Mr. Henderson was very much in the habit of calling him a pettifogger, in derision of Isis calling of an attorney, and in consequence of some little disagree ment which they had about the mending of a water-pipe. This offensive ep;thet was not with held even when the complainant's wife was with him. No notice being taken of the insult at first, it began to assume a more serious shape. Mr. Hen derson not only called out " Pettifogger, pettifog ger," after the complainant, but shook his fist at him and followed him. Even thiswas patiently endured. At last Mr. Henderson, on Sunday evening last, as the complainant was going , up to his door, walked up, and drawing the smoke of a cigar as hard as he could, puffed the cloud three or four times into the eyes and nose of the person be had before stigma tized by the name of " pettifogger." For this offence the LORD MAYOR had been applied to for a summons. 'The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Henderson what had urged him to such an act as that complained of? —Mr. Henderson declared that he never once shook his fist at the complainant, nor had he used the word's pettifogger" until theJnore offensive term of " fish-fag" was applied to himself. The LORD Meyon---Whitt l did he call you fish fag ? I think you are pretty much on an equality, then. A fish-fag and a pettifogger may very well go together. Mr. Henderson repeated, that " fish-fag" was the favourite phrase of the complainant, to which he found it necessary to reply in the terms described, but he never meditated an assault upon the com plainant. As for the cloud . that issued from the cigar, he blew it tram him without ilirecting it to wards the countenance of the gentleman who charged him with a malicious intention. But the complainant brought down upon himself this uneere- ' monious description of hie profession by adding to the words " fish-fag," those of " old fool." Mr. Henderson then stated that the complainant had re fused to pay for the repair of a water-pipe which occasionally inundated the warehouse, and did his (Mr. Henderson's) goods some injury. The re monstrance upon the subject was the cause of the pique, and the complainant, when bed-time arrived, caused the chairs and tables just over the warehouse to be rubbed about the floor in such a mariner that the very deity of sleep could not repose in his (Mr. Henderson's) bed. The LORD MAYOR.-. yell, I see that it is all words. There has been no assault, nothing but words, words. Complainant--I beg pardon, my Lord. The LORD MAYOR—WeII, then, all smoke, if you please, or words and puffs. There have been no blows. I do not consider it such a case as my time should be occupied with, and I shall not interfere. What is it, after all, but a mouthful of smoke ? The parties then retired, Mr. Foster, to all ap pearance, surprised as well as displeased, that the Lord Mayor should consider the agreeable smell of tobacco a good excuse for pulling it into a man's nostrils whether he wished it or not. BOW.STREET. Yesterday Mr. Coleby, a house painter and also a tobacconist, residing at No. 42, Regent-circus, Pic cadilly, came to this office, and gave information of a diabolical attempt made by some unknown villein to murder him or some of his family with an air-gun, The Magistrate asked Mr. Coleby if he had rea son to suspect any person in particular to hare been guilty of the outrage. Mr. Coleby replied in the negative, and observed that several perso ns h a d b een dreadfully ' alarmed in the Regent's-park within the last week by the dis charging of bullets from an air-gun, and although every means had been used to detect the perpetrator, he had hitherto escaped detection. Sir R. BIRNIE directed Taunton, senior, to use his beet exertions and endeavour, if possible, to ap prebend the party guilty of the outrage of which Mr. Coleby complained. Information was received at the office in the course of the morning, of an attempt to break pri son by some of the felons confined in Tothill-fields gaol. At an early hour yesterday morning, one of the I turnkeys, on going his rounds, perceived that a quan tity of bricks had been removed from the wall of one of the cells in which seven or eight felons were confined, and that an aperture sufficiently large to admit the body of a man had been made. The wall is nearly two feet thick, and at the moment the dis covery was made, the prisoners concerned in the plan bud very nearly effected their purpose, there being but half a brick to remove, in order to com plete an opening into the common sewer, from which the prisoners could easily have groped their way to the garden of Mr. Netter, the governor, and from thence completed their plan of escape by scaling the walls. The prisoners were immediately secured, end placed under irons in a different part of, the pri son, which at this moment is crowded.to excess, there being 254 persons confined within the gaol, and accommodation for only 180. MAitYI.,EBONE. Mr. IV. T. limboll, a gentleman living in the Hampstead-road, was brought before M. RAWLIN SON yesterday, under the heavy charge of having at tempted to shoot a constable of the metropolitan police. The constable, William Spriogate, No. 133, of division S, as be was on duty at about two o'clock m► SUnday morning, saw a fire id the stable-yard of Mr. Hods°ll's residence. He'was alarmed, sprang his rattle, and rung the bowie-bell. Mr. RAWLINSON asked respecting the situation of the ho use said it was near,tho Load of Hay public-house, in the Hampstead-road. The wit- ness believes Mr. Hodsoll came out of the house into the garden : it was very dark, 'and he did not see him ; but the following conversation ensued Mr. Hodsoll—What is the matter ? Springate-:- Sir, your premises are onifire. Mr. ilotiboll—,Never mind Abet : it it some rub- bilkh I hays brought out of the garden. Are you ineide or outside of the ►lace Springate—Out side. Mr. liodsoll—Then keep out. Three other police-constables came up, and told him to get over the wall, and see where the fire came from.; and they assisted,him: in doing so. Mr. Hodson asked who was on the premises?— ' Ells own private watchman who had come thither .in` the mean time, answered " one of the police constables." Mr. Hodsoll—Take him into custody. Watch. mu 11..-1 cannot. Mr, liodsoll—Then --- his eyes, I'll shoot him. Springete got over the wall again into the road as f its t as he could, and before he had cleared it, be heard the report of a pistol or gun. , Mr. RAIVI.INISON-nOw uo you know it was fired at you Springate—The gentleman's expres. don, that he would shoot me, makes me believe so. Mr. RAWLIMON inquired' respecting the: fire, whether it ,placed any bwidings in, dulcet? gate said it was 100 y ar d s f rom Mr . Hodsoa's house, b ut close to the stable, and at one time the flames reached abo7e it. Richard Glecson, another policeman of the same division, Kaye a similar account. Mr. RAIMINsoN asked him how soon the report of the fire-arms folloWecl the threat ?—Gleeson an owered. " instantly," and at the moment something hard, like a bullet or a slug, struck the ground in the road near to where he stood, end bounded into, the hedge pr bank opposite. Daniel Madilin Was brought to - the spot by the sound of his brother policeman's rattle. He wit limed what is before stated, and was certain that the piece was leaded lie had been a soldier for many years, and knew the sound of a bullet when he heard it. Mr. Hodson solicitor asked him whether, after this had happened, the policem e n did not all go away laughing'? " Laughing!" replied Maddin;— "by no manes. There was not a bit of any thing to laugh at. We retrated, Sir, as fast as we could, not caring to get shot." All these witnesses were unable to say whether the pistol or gun was fired from the garden or else where; but David Thomas, the fourth constable, saw a flash, when the report was heard, at one of the house windows. Mr. RAWLINSON said, he had heard the charge with a great deal of anxiety, and hardly knew what step it was his duty to take. Mr. Hodson% solicitor requested that his wit nesses might be called in, and he should be able to show that Mr. Hodsoll had no intention to injure the constable. Mr. RAWLINSON was willing to sit till midnight and hear evidence, if it would do any good, but as he must send the case to the sessions for trial, he thought it might be more advantageous to Mr. Hod son to reserve his answer to the charge till then. He referred to the late dreadful occurrence in Es sex, and considered M r . HodgeWs situation a very fearful one. Mr. Hodsoll remarked, that the case had taken a much more serious turn than he expected, and as he saw reporters there, he thought it his duty to de clare, most solemnly, that he wished he might not leave the spot upon which he stood alive, if he Ile signed to do the policeman harm. Mr. RAVVLINSON considered it a circumstance in favour of the defendant,' that he had desired the policeman to keep outside of the premises, and he held him in sureties of 200/. to appear and take his trial At the sessions. THE DYING SOLDIER. " Thanks," said the bleeding prisoner; " lam very weak, and unable to go on ; entreat your soldiers that I may rest a moment here, in your keeping." The request was instantly made and complied with. Pendergast caused the wounded man to be borne aside to a spot not exposed to much observa tion, and detained some soldiers to guard them against intrusion. " Thanks, again : this is indeed a favour," re sumed Sir Redmond, as he vainly tried to lay his writhing limbs on the grass, in some position which would not pain them. " 'Tis nothing; I owe you more, much more," answered Pendergast ; " only tell me what that much more, and more after it, shall be—what, Sir Redmond you change sadly I" " Water, a drop of water," murmured the old soldier, in an effort to keep himself f rom swoon i ng . " Water there is none near us; but make shift with better liquor :" and Pendergast produced a wine-flask and put it to his lips. The dying man drank eagerly. " This is loss of blood, not fatigue," continued Pendergast : " you have been on the English bayonets since we parted, Sir Redmond—you bleed about the body, too." " A little, yet enough to let life out : and I do not want it to stay in. Fortune, country, kith, and kin, all but honour is lost. Worthless life, go you with it." " Say not so, brave friend,—for friend I call you friend 1 hold you, friend you have been to me;" and w;th a manly tear on his lids, Pendergast clasped Sir Redmond's band with the clasp that only men can give and take. " Well, and friend I would be called by you," continued Sir Redmond ; " but our friendslop will end as quickly as it has begun. Cry not nay, again, Sir," he went on in a changed and broken voice; " there is that at my heart which needs no earthly comfort, holds no earthly hope. But you have wished to do me no harm, or rather, to do a good turn to one 1 shall leave after me, for my sake." " Your Lady ?" inquired Pendergast, after he had watched some time a convulsion in the fraine of his new friend, which wholly took away his power of utterance. " No I I thank God, no I" cried Sir Redmond, with unexpected energy; and it seemed, in the up turning of his eyes to heaven, and in the rapid mo tion of his lips, that he continued to give praise that the partner of his bosom had already been removed from a life which, after his death, would have been to her, had she not gone before him, a lot of suffer ings and bitterness. . 4 4 Then, you have children ?" continued Pender, gait, breaking another pause, and willing to assist the dying officer in the expression otbis last wishes: • 0 I had--four," answered Sir.Redinond : " four, although I em a man scarce yet stricken in years; four sons, and three of th em a b le to follow me to the field:for their- country, their king, and their re ligion, at :the breaking out of these .unnatural wars. But I have them not now. One fell at Hills borough, where we crushed, with young Hamilton at our head, your great Northern Union at a blow, Sir l"—martial, spirit and party pride lit up for a moment the- speaker's eye, and strengthened his tone;—" and him I did scarcely sorrow for;—the. next, my second a soldier of nineteen. I saw rolling down with the blood-stained Boyne river; and my third, third, not e i g h teen , sank at my feet to-ay, a few minutes Aix I pilled from - you; the man who put a bayonet -into the boy's heart did so because my pear FAX hid Struck it aside when it was aimed at his father's, sly." Here Pendergast had to Support Sir Redmond's head, as it fell bitek from weakness. It was on his tongue to isanage the anguish of the parent's recol lections:by informing him that he. too had lost a . son, anti an only one, upon the field that day ; but a reflection . that it w as hi s d uty not to interrupt , the dying man s train of thought by any concerns of his own, checked the. words he was about to utter, and caused him to whisper, inste a d, is But there yet lives a fourth bo x ?" " There does-'—answered Sir Redmond, gasp ing; "my yotmg'est —my darling—the last child of, his mother- - and almost a child yet—and friend less—and fortuneless—for his family are dead, or exiles—or will :be--And all his patrimony seized I upon —or run through—lavished upon, this cause; and I—" Pendergast now felt a strenuous pres sure, which the speaker had not before been able to return for his; thin he saw the dread Eruggle ; and after Sir Redmond, writhing round, had said,'" Oh, God, be watchful over the child here, as -I now crave your mercy for myself!" Pendergast looked upon a corpse. ' , Long he lo o k e d ; an d then arising, commanded the soldi ers who stood near to accompany him down the bill, and i n t o t h e b og. His thought was, that he knew where to find the body of .hia own son, for he had seen him fall: He was successful. The men bore it, still at Ilia bidding, back to the spot he, had left; and there, almost at the top of the bill, hecorn mended them to make a shallow grave: " They shall he side by side, even upon this field," he said to himself, " in earnest of the vow I have vowed to the unuttered wish of my former fae,eye, heti shall they lie, fottetful of party rancour, as I shell he forgetful of it to this old man's only livitig son: " for," continued Pendergast, as he walked away, after the littkgrave had been filled soil raise 4", the child shall horny child." —Front Me Disowned. - ALEXANDER Tuft GREAT'S' POLICY...-.
