On • the contrary, it is 'evident from the introduEtory pat . :.grapb of the • Address of the Provision . al Government, that every hazard a ttending an independent effort was deethed tpreferable to the inure fi lial risk of introdUcing a rench Army int o th e Country—small would be our claims to patriotism and to sense, and palpable oafs Offeelation of the love Of Liberty, if we were to encotnage the profanation of our shores b a People who are slaves themselves , and. the un " yrincipled and abandoned instruments of impos. ing s l avery en ot h ers . If sack an inference i s 'dr 3wn from any. part .of 'the Proclamation of the 'Provisional Government, it calumniates their views, and i s n ot 'Warranted by the fall--how could they :speak of freedom to their Countrymen—h ow as.. 'some such an exalted motive, and meditate the in. troduaiun of a power which has been the' enemy of freedom in every part of the globe ?

' We lament that. such talents a s Mr. Emmet pos. sesseol were not direaed 'to "better purposes ; but While hts death has furnished an, awful example 'to others, and to a certainty cut of the head and spring of rebellion in this country, his trial is fraught with much useful and satisUtory information to the public ; it has disclosed the late conspiracy in all its parts, and cOnfirMed our uniform opinion of it—that it was contemptible and inefficient, and stood isolated and detached from popular sympathy and co.operatiori. The principal persons engaged in this visionary undertaking were those very Men,. whose criminalittor dissaffeetion were manifested in the Rebellion of 1798. No ,new.charaaer of consequence, power, or respedability, .• appears at tached to 'them ; and the whole turns out to be the last - effort of expiring sedition, which by its attempt to overthrow, has contributed to the firma esta. blishment of our excellent Constitution. • My. Emmet, after his trial on Monday evening, was taken to Newgatc, where dinner had bten pre. pared for him. He there requested to see one of the Gentlemen who were engaged in his defence.— , To him,. it is generally rumoured, he male a full diSchsttre of Millie means he had used to effea the late InSurrettion, and authorized him to make it known to Government. He declared himself the chief mover and instigator of that atternp to effect a revolution, and solemnly denied having any . asso. d a tes in this country of either property or respec. tability. He accounted for the expences incurred by preparations fur rebellion, by stating that he had received on the death t)f his father 25661. and that he had expended of that sum 1.4.001. in purchasing the arm: found in the dept in Marshalsea.lane.— He also denied•having sotieited or received any as. si,tance from the French Government, and protested were this CountrY invaded by Frenchmen, from his information of their principles anti conduct wherever they went, that he would be one of the mast zeal. ous in the expulsion .of ouch treacherous, rapacious, and sanguinary miscreants., THE THEATRE. Covent Garden. ON Saturday last Mr. KE.laI 4 made his first appearance at inis Theatre in the chara&er of llaltt. let. Nothing could be more flattering than the ap. plause which he received on.his entrance, which for some minutes suspended the 'progress of the Play.— His excellence in this charaaer is.too well known , to 1 -I.c-toile any analysis or eulogium. He sustained it with such grace, digni'iy;and expression as mani fested a thorough. knowledge of his Author. In some passages he resumed the words used in the earlier Editions,. and restored the fine soliloquy which begins with How all occasions do.inform against me 66 And spur my dull revenge." . This Speech was restored by Mr. GARRICK, but his 'generally been omitted since his time.' KEM ! BLS, however, transferred it from the Fourth Act to the - Scene immediately, Preceding, the Fencing Match in the Fifth. The transposttion was very proper,' as it showed that lia' , #ilet had' not'lost sight of his revenge, and prepared the mind for his final ,vetsgeance on the murtieroui: Usurper. • Miss MORTIMER, who has acquired a high re. , ptitation as a Singer in several Country Music Meetings, appeared, for the firy time on the in-the charaler of• Ophelia. She is low in stature, 'but possesses an agreeable person, and a face clia ble of expression. Her eyes are piercing anti intel "lif;e►tt ' She appeared. to understand the charader of • Ophaia'fully. ,All she Said, was marked by feeling and good sense, though 'delivered rather in too la. honied a manner. We ought, however, to make every liberal allowance for a mere novice on the stage, and be satisfied with that sensibility and judgment which we have noticed. • B u t Miss Mog•rtsssit's chief mtrit is her vocal excellence. She possesses a fine, strong, clear-toned voice, and .a Correa ctn.' , We shotilti have been morn pleased if she had:nut introduced a shake 'so often in the airs which Ophelia sings during her :madness, hit had given them with a wild charac teristic simplicity. We have,:greo hopes of this young Lady, and heartily syinpathited in the warm encouragement which she received from the audience. COREY performed the part of the Kitt!, and ap peared to more than usual advantage. C. KEMBLE was a very spirited taertet. The House was full at an early hour ; anti Mr. Keivinte through the whole of his performance, excited strong and repeated testimonies of general approbation. CORN EXCHANCE, SEPT. z 6.
