tified by he result.

For our own part, we should be ashamed to rest
the vindioation of M. Di MOSTALWIreII motives
en any merely formal and tatinicel consideratiow
Engliab writers, who affected Wing the appeal la
a " false step," were, no doubt, perfectly at three
less in assuming that all Petash Courts seder the
Empire were neorearily dependant on the caprices
of the master of an enormous sissy, and that it wee
a waste of time, of words, of principles, and of
public sympathy to provoke a Court of
Appeal to the perpetration of a more con-
spicuous injustice. Bat it would have been to
the last degree unbecoming in IL Di MONTA LIM BERT,
and unworthy of his public character and repute-
tion, had he shown himself reedy and willing to
forego the attempt to vindleate the laws of his
°pantry, and of testing the independence of the
reprice Tribanals. From first to last throughout
this famous trial, the defendant and appellant
was the representative of the low as opposed
to force ; and to have deserted that position
in the face of Europe, in compliance with an
arbitrary caprice tempered with a sorry in-

salt, would have been the act of a coward.
In a cause where the absolute master of four hen..
dred thousand armed men was both judge and party
the gross result of the decision could not be doubtful,
but the aft result might differ in quantity and in
quality. And this is precisely what has happened
in this instance. For the rest, we cannot expect that
men whose obliquity of moral vision discovered
nothing better than a vulgar lust of notoriety in the
courageous assertion of an indefesaible right, should
be capable of distinguishing the claims of honour
from the calculations of expediency. If, therefore,

we are asked what M. DB MONTALENDIRT bas
opus/4 by his obstinacy," we might, it is tree, lite-
rally and correctly answer, a reversal of the most
iniquitous and most oppressive portion of the sen-
tence of the Police-court. Bat we are content to
insist, with all the piatessi of which we are capable,
that, had he gained absolutely nothing by his obsti-
nacy, he would still deserve, and rejoioe to deserve,
tie taunts of timeservers. We are simple-minded
enough

to ocean ourselves mere dunces in that
school of morels which refuses public sympathy to
the man who repels an insolent favour flung at him
by a despotic ruler, in preeipitate anticipation, in
sager defiance, in *vomit seatsiipt of an Inez-
hansted right of lawful appeal ; we fail to perceive in
what sense a Sovereign who bestows an act of grace
with a sneer can be supposed to acknowledge his own
defeat, or to contribute to the triumph of the " par-
" cloned" offiender. We should have thought that
England, where law is stable and supreme, and jaa-
tice incorruptible, wee the Let country in the world
where a man who had stood up face to Loa with
despotism in defence of liberty of thought and
speech, and had opposed law to violence, would be
exposed to sneers because he disdained to waive the
right d vindientioa which the letter and the
spirit, if not the interpreters of the law, afforded
him. It is not because officious and stow

deal apologists on the free side of the
Channel were .nulled. that M. DC MONTALEMBLIT
ahead be comsat. Examples of mange and per-
isterrey in the defence of a desperate eaten are not so
frequent or so common in oar day as examples of
swept indiftinence and comfortable infamy ; and
even NArot.non 111, with all his barracks and his
heyeseta may live to leers that Imperial creatures
1-6ithisse only in advenity--are not so rare •
epodes of animals as the generous adversaries who
seafront the insolence of power in its hoar of pros-
perity and in the dash of its omnipotence. The
Senators of 1816, who with rat-like irastinot de-
nounced the violation of the liberty of the press by
their adored Master, won not men of the MONT-
