'poniard blades, similar to those found upon the Champions of Liberty at Thouars and Rochelle. The packet had hen sent from Solingen, and consigned to the house of Chadeaux, a Commis sion Agent at Metz." NUREMBERG, OCT. 11.—Under the head of Turkey, our Gazette contains the following .article 4, The last letters from Constantinople, of Sept. 10, contain several pieces of information on the state of affairs in Turkey. Although these data are not exactly Official, they come from a source of which the accuracy cannot be doubted. According to these reports, the Turkish public believe the news of the - brilliant victory which the Porte had circulated as having gained in the Morea. The conquest of the whole of this country was regarded as certain, and no doubt was entertained of the supe riority of the Turkish navy. The merchants at Pera had, in deed, other intelligence, which made it no longer a doubt that the Turkish army, after commencing by a victory, had been completely beaten, and pursued out of the Peloponnesus, and that. the Turkish fleet, which had remained an inconceivrble time in the Gulf of Lepanto, till the Greeks, after assembling the whole of their ships, had commenced a blockade, was menaced with total destruction. " There is reason to apprehend the greatest troubles when. the illusion shall be dissipated, and they can no longer conceal the result of this arduous contest. But till this moment the Turks in general have no other notion but that they have been .completely victorious.. A few sensible only begin to be a little uneasy, since they have heard, that on the pressing de mand of Chourschicl Pacha, several Tartars had set out for Silistria, Rutschuk, and Sophia, bearing orders to hasten the departure of the troops which were to go to Thessaly. They think this would not be necessary if the affairs of the Turks were in .as good a condition as the Porte has asserted. The news of the submission of the Greeks makes a favourable im pression on the Janissaries, the troops of Asia, and the people Of Constantinople, so that the fermentation which has pre vailed there so long is entirely calmed ; but the first intelli gmce of the contrary will rekindle the flame, and perhaps pro pagate it through the , whole country. _The Asiatics begin to speak of returning to their homes ; there is no longer any thing to fear from Russia; and besides in the month of October the hostile armies generally go into winter quarters. The Asiatics expect this epoch with so much the more impatience, as the political embarrassment in which the Porte found itself last year, did not permit it to follow in this respect the usual custom, which makes them count on it more surely this year. It is, however, said, that the intention of the Divarris not to grant the demand of the Asiatics. " The negociations between the Porte and the European powers have made little progress for some time past. The former persists in not granting any thing but what treaties prescribe, and particularly with regard to Russia. The Reis Effendi is said to have demanded of the meditating Ministers, why the new Russian. Envoy delays to make his appearance ? It is not known what reply was given to this question. " The Divan has not received any favourable news from Asia. -It is now certain that the Persian army has conquered the greatest part of Armenia, but the Turks have still posses sion of Erzerum. Trebisond is also in their power. The Per sians have made little progress on the side of Syria, so that the Paella of Bagdad has succeeded in protecting Bassora. It is, however, certain that the Turks have not acted on the offensive on any one point. Although the plague still prevails in some quarters of Constantinople, it does not fortunately increase.— ',Naval preparations are making in that- capital. with great activity."- TRIESTE, OCT. 2.—News from Cephalonia and Prevesa leave no doubt as to the capture of Suli. Famine forced it to surrender Sept. 12. By virtue of the capitulation, 2,000 Suliots were permitted to go to the Morea in English vessels; they embarked in fact, but in place of carrying them to the Morea the English disembarked them at Cephalonia on Sept. 17, under the pre tence of putting them in quarantine, but cer tainly to prevent them from uniting themselves with the inhabitants of the Morea. By the cap ture of Suli, the Turks have the key to Epirus in their hands. TURIN, OCT. 10.—The preparations making in every place indicate that Verona is to become the theatre of the most imposing and magnificent scenes. SPAIN. The Universal (French Paper) contains the following article:— " The two following letters have been sent us from Trujello (Estramadura). We offer them to the public, persuaded that it will applaud the noble sentiments which dictated them. The Spanish Citizen who wrote first, and the French • General, whose answer we give, ought to be con- sidered, on the present occasion, as the organs of all the_ Liberals of Europe. The love of liberty is the sacred point in which all the people of the •earth are united ; it extinguishes all resentment, and encourages every individual to contribute in establishing, among all nations, that cordial and sincere affection which will ensure for ever the peace and happiness of the human race. 44 ' TO. GENERAL FOY. Trujello, August 10, 1822. " SIR-I cannot refrain from expressing to you, how agreeable it has been for me and.for all well meaning men to see the philantropic ideas which you, another Demosthenes, have made known to all Europe. " I feel myself happy at not having been deceived as to your character, when I saw you in 1810, and 1811. in the midst of the hostile scene which then every where presented itself, do • ing violence to your own heart; I then occupied the situation of Corregidor. There already shone in you a certain air of gene rosity, which gave flattering hopes to the public cause ; and in • seeing you, in conjunction with M. B. Constant, resisting outrages and overcoming obstacles, the Spanish Liberals could not suppress the emotions of gratitude and affection which only - heroes cause. " Yes, good Spaniards are convinced that the:. great majo rity of the French who can boast that their country is the cradle of wisdom and liberty, are animated with the most philantro plc views. " Continue, my dear Sir, continue always, without fear, in the road which honour has marked out for you, certain of be ing the object of the admiration of all good men. " Every meeting of the Chamber of Deputies gives you a new title to the esteem and the respect of a man, who, expect ing the honour of an answer, subscribes himself • " :LESIIIES BRAVO." " ANSWER OF GENERAL FOY. " Pitlion, (Aisne), Sept. 5. " MY DEAR'STR—I have received with very great Pleasure the letter which you did me the honour to write to me, under .date of the 10th oflast month. Your remembering me is very agreeable, because I knew you to be a good man,.and the friend • of your country. Notwithstanding the difference of situation I felt 11 years No, as at present, great esteenvfor your generous and honourabie countrymen ; and since peace has been restored, it has been to me a delightful enjoyment to think, that during six years war in the Peninsula I have not caused the death of . a single individual, except in the field of battle. " 4 But those unhappy times are now. far removed,' now the French and Spaniards ought to live as brothers, seeking toge - ther the means of obtaining peace, independence, and liberty; the only condition which can ensure man all the social felicity to which he is destined by the dignity of his nature and the will of his Creator. In fact this condition will come in spite of all the efforts to the contrary of all the aristocrats who seek to per petuate the ignorance of man, in order to keep him more se curely under the yoke of slavery. " "rhe revolution of Spain does not astonish me, because I have long studied the manners and cilaracter of the Spaniards, and have found among them much more intelligence and phi losophy than is generally believed in Europe. " It appeared to me difficult for a great people, both wise :and energetic, to groan for any length of time under the yoke of absolute power and superstition. " I have applauded the enthusiasm and valour you have .displayed; and I repeat incessantly to our Ultras and our . Ministers, that they do not know Spain, and that the Holy 'Alliance, if it does not deliberate before sending troops into ~ Spain, it is'likely to have to repent its precipitation. " I left Paris at,the end of the Sessions, in-order to enjoy a little.repose in the country. Alrhen , l have an opportunity 1 'shall do myself the honour of forwarding to you some of my speeches. , " - And you, my dear Corregidor, you are still in the en joyment, of good health. I.still remember the proverb, which .140. Physician of Trujillo quoted, who has passed the month xiileptember at Trujello, has lived another year. The pro -7,fatiii good, for September is terrible in Estranaadurit on ac. count of the fevers. I hope that you will get through the month without ill health. And I beg of you to receive again the assurance that I have before given you of the attachment and consideration which I conceived for-you when I had the honour of your personal acquaintance, and which are increased by the excalent andnoble sentiments you`express in your later. • (Signed) 4 ‘ FOY.' " - - BAY6INE, OCT. 12.—The military preparations proceed withoukany interruption. - The most recent letters from the three provinces of Biscay state that the public tranquillity becc.rnes more and more con solidated, by_ the energetic measures of the Magistrates, sup ported by the exertions of the different Constitutional columns which arc in constant motion. 'rhe bands which infested those provinces being entirely dispersed, have thrown themselves towards Santander, and particularly towards Iraty. The news of the defeat of the Royalists, who went from that place, is con firmed, and they were repulsed with . severe loss. It is even reported that the place is invested by their adversaries, who hoped to make themselves masters of it in a few days ; but they have repeated this boast so often that we must not give credit to it, and especially because Espinosa is not strong enough to undertake this operation, and at the same time to attend to the maintenance of tranquillity in the interior of the province. The Secret Committee of the Faith at Bayonne has highly ' disapproved of the conduct of Colonel Cabra and of the Com mandant Redonde, who conducted this movement on the 4th. It has been decided, in consequence of this, that Don Carlos shall go and take the command of Navarre, and of the three provinces, for the purpose of organizing the troops of Iraty, and recovering . the Royalist cause in that country, by encou raging people's minds and raising new levies. This General has fixed his departure for the 14th. lle will proceed first to Iraty._ In our next we shall give the Proclamation which he has prepared to be addressed to the Navarrese and Biscayans. The accounts from Saragosa of the sth seem to very favour able to the . Constitutional cause, although the agents of the Faith whbm we have in this city represent them in a different light. The following are the accounts we received of the ope rations of the army of Mina. On the 30th this General pro proceeded with about 3,000 men from Calaf towards Bergs, .with his right supported by Agramont, and leaving Solsona and Cordona sufficiently reinforced. General Milans, with an equal force, advanced upon Olio : his vanguard marched on the towards Campredon, leaving Manresa and Vich secure against any attack. General Zarco del Valle had passes the Cirna, and entered Tremp on the let, with his left leaning on the mountains, upon the frontiers of France, and his right towards Balaquer, which is in the possession of the Royalists, and which is closely blockad'ed.— At the moment of the departure of the Courier from Saragosa, it was positively affirmed that the vanguard of General Mina was, on the 3d, within three leagues of Urgel, the Junta of which place had retired to Puycerda. The Royalists were still concentrated on the banks of the Segree from Urgel to Puy cerda ; but several Chiefs of Guerillas had refused to obey Gen. Eroles. Gen. Mina has severely punished, on his way, several individuals who had declared in favour of the insur rection. Some priests had even been hanged. • The rear of the Constitutional Army is constantly harassed by the bands of the Defenders of the Faith, who alarm the garrisons and interrupt the communications; but it seems to be the intention, of the Constitutional Generals to let them - alone for the present, and direct their whole efforts agains Urgel Puycerda, in order to put down the Government of the Regency, and that they will then adopt measures to restore peace in the interior. The game letters describe, in the strongest terms, the enthusiasm of the troops of General Mina, as well as of the. good spirit of the inhabitants of Barcelona; above 4,000 of whom have now joined the army of General Milans, COLOMBIA. The following is an extract from the Gazette of Colombia, No. 38, Sunday, 7th July, 1822 : " Francisco de Paula Santander; General of Division of the Colombian A7mies, Vice-President of the Republic, charged with the Executive Power, &c. &c. " Whereas it has come to the knowledge of the Government of this Republic of Colombia, that some individuals residing in Europe actually denominate themselves Agents of said Re public, and under this character contract obligations in its name, compromising in some degree the public honour and faith of the State with those persons who are not informed of the want of authority with which said agents negociate : Therefore, desirous of preventing for the future these scandalous abuses, and to avoid all subject of complaint on the part of those, who, without the needful precautions, let themselves be entrapped to the preju dice of the interests of the Republic and their own, I have, after hearing the Council of State, agreed to declare, and do declare as follows : " 1. No person, citizen of Colombia or Foreigner, is at pre sent authorised in Europe to draw up contracts to pledge or in any way oblige the Colombian Government by any bond, agree ment, or obligation of whatsoever nature it may be. " 2. The Honourable Francisco Antonio Zea, resident at t he Court of Paris, is authorised to negotiate solely in the Poh eal Affairs, which, agreeably to his instructions, have been en trusted to him. 3. No Contract, Agreement, or Obligation will be con sidered binding to the Colombian Government unless its autho risation precede or may have preceeded it, expressly for the purpose. 4..1n. future notice shall be given in the Gazette of the Re public of those persons who may be invested with said authority. " 5. The Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs is charged with the execution of this declaration, which will be published for the information of those it may concern. " Given and signed by my hand, sealed with the Seal of the Republic, and countersigned by the Secretary of State and Fo reign Affairs, at the palace of Bogota, on the Ist June, 1822.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NOVOGORC:`•—" What I am now going to relate to you might almost pass ratherfor the fiction of some idle brain, than for a real event, and yet the truth of it is well-known, and attested by respectable autho rity.—A Nobleman in this province being out hunting with se veral other Noblemen, perceived in a forest a bear, with a muzzle on, tied to a tree ; the animal appeared to be very tame, and by his wailings indicated that something particular was the matter with him. The Nobleman gave orders to untie him from the ttee, on which the bear led by a countryman with a rope, immediately ran to a neighbouring spot, and began very eagerly to scratch up the ground • the creature only wanted language to spew that something, which nearly concerned him, was here buried. The possibility of this was evident to the no bleman, and he ordered his people to dig up the spot pointed out by the hear, which consisted of very loose earth. To the no little astonishment and horror of all present, they soon found two dead bodies covered with blood, which appeared to have been very recently interred, whose wounds the bear, with a la mentable howling, began to lick, making the persons who stood around understand, by a very singular look, that they should remove the bodies. They made a bier of young trees on which they laid the bodies to convey them to the next village. The bear, still led by a peasant, went first, and seemed to follow like a dog, a scent that he had of the murderers of his masters. He was suffered to take his own way ; and they soon reached a vil lage on the skirts of the forest, when he halted at the door of a cottage, and his former wailing was changed to a dreadful roar ing. This induced the nobleman to call together the maleinha bitants, and place them in a certain order, thinking, perhaps, by the help of the bear to discover the murderers, as of course all denied any knowledge of the deed. The people belonging to the hut, before which the bear stopped, also came rip from another side, and scarcely had they, according to the Nobleman's de sire, placed themselves with the others, when the bear, with a dreadful howl, rushed upon two tall fellows, whom only the animal's muzzle saved from his fury. He was removed from them by force, but the persons so singularly accused were immediately subjected to a strict examination. They confessed all ; the two bear leaders, who had money about them, had been murdered by the: n in the forest, and hastily buried ; the hunting horn of the party having made them fly precipitately, 'leaving the bear tied to the tree, by which the discovery of the murder was effected in a manner almost incre dible, and the criminals were delivered into the hands of jus tice, and will be brought to the punishment which they so justly deserve." FOR THE SUN. DEFENCE of BISHOP BURNET and the BISHOP, of WINCHESTER. [Continued from TILE SUN of Saturday.] Ala. EDITOR-It is objected to those great advocates of our Church what has often by our Church been an objection to the Socinian, as one of his favourite axioms, and which he himself lays down in so many terms that it is utterly im possible to believe what it is impossible to com prehend. When it pleases GOD to reveal, says the Reverend Calvinist, a doctrine for my own salvation, am I concerned to reconcile it ? ' Does he call upon me to do so before I accept it ? Is it a revalation to my faith or to my reason ? If to reason I admit I am bound to understand it, so far as my powers of reason extend ; but if it be to faith what has my reason to do with it ; but to judge of the authority from which the re velation is derived. No doubt, faith, when taken in its full and comprehensive meaning—when once erected upon a solid foundation, may not demand the assistance of reason ; and we may believe in many things hard to be understood ; which may be above our reason though not con contrary to it ; but when we are enquiring what is the doctrine of the Church, or rather when the Church itself is forming articles of belief upon the foundation of Scripture, we can never look too carefully, and with all possible help of learn ing into that Scripture, to answer him that asked' us the reason of the faith which is in us ; and it is a notorious fact in evidence, that the compilers of our articles did most diligently and anxiously inquire into what was then revealed, and sought for assistance to their learning even from the learned abroad, that no pains might be wanting to make that system purely scriptural which they were to send forth to be the faith of others. And though others subscribe to it, and are 1 so far bound to believe most implicitly in what they assent to be the doctrine of the Church as found ed on Scripture, yet if at any future period they should happen to think otherwise, they are equally bound to resign their faith in the Church for the sake of what is far more venerable, and the highest of all authority, and that which the Church professes to follow, the divine authority of Revelation itself. It is true, when once per suaded, that thus saith the Lord, I have nothing more to do than gratefully to receive the doc trine by faith, and to apply it to its gracious purpose, but though I am now persuaded of its truth, unless I suppose myself infallible, I may be wrong, or indefectible. I may fail, and if I, upon further enquiry, should discover my infirmity or error, I am bound upon the same principle with which I first held the doctrine, upon its analogy with revelation, now to re nounce it, as in my present sentiment, being more enlightened, I perceive or fancy that I perceive its contradiction to that scripture, which is the only genuine test of Christian doctrine. In this conception of what to me appears an error, I may be wrong, though not wrong in endeavouring to be right ; and I cannot he right or use the facul ties which GOD has given me and as he has or dered, if I do not follow his dictates which he has so plainly delivered in the law, which he has written on the heart of every man, to consult in every instance ; more especially in the instances so important to his character and happiness,the in terest of everlasting life. An error on a point of this infinite importance, may be fatal as long as I live, therefore if I do not suppose myself completely armed against error, but believe with the bulk of mankind, who reason from their own experi ence and feeling as well as from scripture, that there lurks yet an infection, even in the regene rate, who are still but the more humbled with a sense of their infirmity—and with all their ad vantages of information, being taught of the spirit itself, may yet fall from a state of grace. I can not but conclude, after all my inquiry, that I may yet be mistaken, more particularly upon such points as have been much agitated by the learned in the church of every age, many of whom have differed Upon them—who have far surpassed my feeble understanding. For it is one symptom of true wisdom to feel our ig norance, and not to presume with some, that we are as yet wise unto salvation, but rather to meditate upon the infirmity of our faith as well as all our other virtues, which can never arise to perfection here, than to puff ourselves up with the most fatal of all vanity—that we have now nothing to learn—that all is right within us— and without any further labour or research—we have only to look to the glorious prize of our high calling in Christ Jesus. " Truth is the daughter of of Time," as time advances it may be growing on to maturity, but while the parent lives, let not the child presume that it is beyond the reach of instruction, or that it can ever be quite perfect till time shall be no more—till it arrives at the confines of eternity—when the truth shall shine in its meridian splendour, and the children of light shall know GOD even as they are known. Under this • impression the advocates of the Church proceed in the investigation and exposi tion of the truth—as far as they believe it to be revealed in the word of Goo : not hesitating to believe, merely because they cannot comprehend the revelation, but chiefly anxious to determine its " literal grammatical sense—in its plain and full meaning." This they can never even attempt without " consulting the scriptures"—which no doubt they have done with " as earnest and fre quent prayer" as any that would condemn them for their " dry treatises, didactic statements, and controversial disputations," which may ap pear dry and uninteresting to such as boast of the spirit within them, and can flatter themselves that they are actually inspired with the living principle of truth. But surely they must be in teresting to men in general, who wish to be led into the truth—to " receive the sincere milk of the word with meekness, that they may grow thereby," not having yet arrived at the full sta ture of the grown up perfect man—bab e s as y e t of grace, and not able to bear the strong meat of Calvanistic Puberty. Such children as these may surely be supposed to b e hi g hly gra tified and improved by the instruction which they may mutually destroy each other, of .extensive speou so easily and so amply receive from their fathers in the church—who are accused o f f au lts which lation upon the Scriptures and articles : --and of heir close and exclusive exposition—but who in fact expound all that.is necessary to be expound ed, and speculate no farther. upon the principles of truth than may be useful for the edification of those who are looking up to them for the elements of their faith. But because they don't happen to expound them in the spirit of some expounders, as they have been called—their system is con demned as " exclusive and disputatious," and they cannot be esteemed faithful interpreters of the word, because they are anxious to lay the founda tion before they begin to build, and not to make their pupils believe that they can be led as by magic into all truth at once, without any labour of their own, or that knowledge will dart upo►r them instantaneously, and they have nothing to do but to receive the inspiration, and enjoy what they call the " vital experience of the Saints of GoD." Of these Expounders I am most heartily sick; I feel as much antipathy to them as some feel to a cat, which I should conceive to be a natural antipathy if I were a believer in innate ideas, or if I could not trace it to one of the grand prin ciples of all ideas, which I have expe rienced from my earlier days of one of these reverend expounders, under whose vociferous har rangues I have suffered many a tedious hour— while he, poor simple man, was fancying himself rapt into the third heaven, and, I verily be lieve, carrying his admiring congregation along with him. Though he has been gone many years—and I hope to heaven (where one of his Evangelical tribe, in a funeral sermon, de clared from the pulpit that he saw him in the spirit) methinks I hear his voice still—l must say, not like the voice of an angel from heaven, which still sounded long after speaking in the ears of Adam with delightful melody—but rather ringing in my ears to make my heart sicken at the sound, for it was nothing but sound that I could understand, vox et prceterea nihil. This will no doubt be ascribed to My want of sympathy with the preacher, for most assuredly I had no other than the natural compassion upon any simpleton who chose to expose himself, or, what he called, to expound in public, which he did by the hour, at all seasons in the day and in the night of the Sabbath, and even Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and I know not how many more days were no sabbath or day of rest to hirri nor to his congregation ; but when they would accuse me of a want of sympathy, they mean, in their spiritual slang, to accuse me of a want of christian feeling or vital experience, which must quite exclude any of his hearers from even understanding what he said, or entering at all into his feelings without understanding him, which was the case of most part of his infatuated audience. One of his hearers, however, was a female of some observation and ingenuity, who was therefore not very likely to partake of this infatuation, and whose sympathies ran all the other way with good feeling and common sense. I shall never forget the remark this lady once made as she was coming out of church, piping hot with the inspiring fumes of one of his expressions, that she was quite sure such was the volubility of his tongue, so far outstripping both his memory and his judgment, that long before he could finish his sentence he had nothing to say ; and if he had not a text in scripture at command, lest his audience should be disen chanted of their admiration by the want of flu ency in their extempore expounder, he went on still tuning his pipes in a string of sounds, which by his help of gesticulation, and the high opinion they had formed of the dear, good, and sweet man, conveyed as much if not more sense to their feeling hearts than his very words themselves.— Indeed they seem to believe this effect to be one of the proofs of inspiration both in the preacher and in themselves. Any common preacher, with a book before him, and all the words in order, may make his congregation understand and ' feel in proportion to the natural qualifications of him and his people ; but to make men understand and feel without the help of words, by gestures only, and feel too with such raptures as pass man's understanding, must be the work of a miracle, at least in the preacher, if not in both parties—the supernatural effect of inspiration itself. It is a fact well authenti cated, and I don't know whether it is not even recorded in one of their evangelical annals, that some men, and many women (who are said to be more susceptible of the spirit), have actually fainted away at the melting voice from the pulpit, though they were so far distant as only to hear the sweet sounds, without one particle of the sense, if any there were,—such was the force of what they imagined sNinpath . y, sensible impulse, and I know not what. But, after all, it might only be the force of gesticulation upon an audience prepossessed in favour, and willing beforehand to catch the first impression. Many have I seen take out their handkerchiefs, and begin to cry before they are hurt, even without the help of an onion—and who are so much in the habit of sympathetic feeling, 'or, as others say, of selfish interest,—" the labourer being worthy of his hire,"—as to sigh and groan, and groan and sigh, throughout the whole of the edifying exposition, as if the very heart were bleeding, when it may be only intent on the place, without bearing one word of the discourse. However, it may be in the pathetic as in tragedy : I have myself wit nessed similar scenes in comedy—when Parsons of old, and Liston now, (Arcades ambo.) have kept the house in a roar of laughter, merely by the force of gesticulation, without uttering one syllable, for at least five minutes time, — I am here trespassing upon forbidden ground, and shall no doubt be reminded by his Re verence, that it is not quite so decorous to slide at once from the pulpit to the stage, which they affect to hold in such abomination. But if lam found tripping in this step, who is in fault but these Reverend Expounders, who so naturally call such names to mind by their very tones and gestures : nothing so good and decent as genteel comedy, nor even farce, when justly performed. As far as performance goes, it would be doing rather injustice to such celebrated actors, to compare these mountebanks, who really appear often to have no more qualifications to shine in the pulpit, as South, I think, says, than he - fre that made it ; and though theiml"popir quently, I must acknowledge, higu'ibite lar, carrying a s man y c r o wds with t * • it' the church, as those a c t o rs to the theatrei lar itf as far as I h ave heard. them, thei r P°Pli.og of can chiefly be accounted for by a ',V I goi l r ILK.Es, who must have been a P re l t is° judge of what popularity was made' well-known sto r y, w h en a friend of bus s ed wondering why h e , w h o was not a m ati rpo icio highly gifted—ce r t a inly by his own o°11:0, be not so gifted as his wondering frien d ' l G ro goi came to be able to draw such crowds 110 here d so , him : he to o k hi m t o t h e w indow, w were huzzaing to WILKEs and Liberty, 211 . 0 0 swered him in the Socratic mode by 3 P erti oo li question—How many, think you, in all th at i or titude are men of sense ; and how Illa nl° ,,,erl f sense ?
