MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1517

Rot, as was hinted befure, the author of the Bina
Dwarf, is a dominued JaenMn, the hater of Kings and
Priests, un rerolutiunairc ennsaupe. Nothing short of
revolution will appease his high ambition. W. speak
this fronthook.
" Eilenhorough College," as he calla the prison of
the King's Bench, with an affectation of wit, is infi-
nitely too moderate discipline to effect the correction
of such a writer and speaker as Thomas Jonathan
Wooller. - Much as we respect the character of the
present Attorney-Gt.:nem], awl highly as we apprecian
his attainments in a professional view, still we must
be permitted to affirm, that in this instance he was
unequal to his task. _

Since. according to to the Timer newspaper, (that
time-serve ig print !) "as soon as the verdict was de-
clared," on the second, action in the case, " the Cnirt
rang with acclamations, which continua during several
minutes," it is wonderful to perceive that nine men out
of ',vet e, had the honesty and firmness to return that
verdict of guilty which was recorded in the first instance
by the Court. Luckily for the defendant, the matter
could not be decided in the usual way of settling his
own questions at the Cateaton Street Debating Club,
by a nut/ore/3 of votes ; for, had this been the case, it
is pretty clear that no opportunity would have been
affmled him of escaping from the conseqnenees of con-
viction. He has abundant cause to commend that order
of things which he ridiculed and villified by turns.

After we had written thus frr, 'nr attention was
suddenly caught by a letter from the Foreman of the
Jury who tried the aforementioned cause, which made

its appearance in the newspapers of yesterday, and
which explains the tactics by which three of the Jury
hive contrived to satisfy their consciences in eluding
their duty. Mr. Hooper's Letter is a very important
one. Every thing that elucidates and manifests the
pseudo-patriots of the day, inleed, is another step
towards the restoration of cordiality and happiness.
Till that period of prosperity is come, however, it
were infinitely worse than absurd to attempt to nego-
ciate terms of accomnuxlatiun with the implacable foes
of whatever is excellent or great. Disorganization
has become the cry of the multitude, because • it is tho
interest of those who propel them in the march of
destruction. They have denied their God, and would
dethrone their King I RehAlion is their business;
anarchy is their element. They raise the whirlwind
in which they ride, but are incapable of directing the
storm.

PAR, F, JUNE I.—Letters film St. Petershergh, of
the 6th of May, state, that the number of prisoners of
war who have r•mtaincd in Russia, does not exceed
1800, the greater part of them Poles, who have volun-
tarily taken the cath of fidelity, and are settled in
Russia.

(ienet:;l Drouet, who had purchased an estate neer
Munich, has received orders to quit Bavaria. The
motive of this measir-.• has not transpired. It does not
extend to other French refugees domiciliated in
Bavaria.

GER MANY.
LEIPZIC, lt,tAV 16.—Our fair has turned ova et%
ciaronely ill ; it may be reckoned inidoiar by one
third, if not half. to the last MiAaeiiras fair. It ia,
said there were 14,000 strangers less, which one could
easily perceive lit the streets. The number of Ituatiens
anti Poles in parti:ular, was small, arid these who were
here made but few purchases. Germany is so erer-
stocked with gaols, thlt, it has fir more thin it needs,
the consumption liaYin4 much re 'ere,' by war and flis-
tress ; and the manufactures, by the cinplayimnt of
inachingry, instead of human labour, have greatly in-
creased, and every thing is produced much more rapid.
ly. This causes the wale in manufacture goods CA
stagnate extremely. Silks, formerly a great at
our fair, were in small demand. to..tli.sh cotton ma-
nufactures extremely cheap; they fdl flee or six per
cent. and scarcely a third part of the stock on hind
was disposed of. The proprietors, of course sofferel
a great loss by the part they have left on their hands.
Saxon cotton goods found hardly any sale. Oar ma-
nufludurers are inconsolable; since, by this filliwe or
their last hope, the greatest distress will be occasioned,
since they will be obliged to dismiss a number of work-
men, who will be dispersed to perish with hunger.
Woollen wares, parii-alarly the Netherland clatha
and Saxon merino, cassimeres, &c. sold well, and alarm;
all the stocks were bought. The inferior eloths fitchca
very low prices. Wool from Bohemia, Moravia, an,
Hungary, of inferior finalities, were in abundance'
the prices have, however, Gallen from 40 to 60 p
cent. within these two months : almost the whole wer
sold. As shearing to% approaches, the Saxon rely Is
be
expected to become cheaper than last year ; but it
nut likely to fall shove .0 or 15 per cent. Ordin as
wool may be from 30 to 40 per cent. cheaper than arY

HOI.LAND.

HAARLEM, MAY 30. —They write from France,
that notwithstanding the fulling of the prices of corn
in the Northern Dopartasents, the distal's is there still
so gnat that troops of twenty or forty persons, nailed
with sticks and knives, rove about the country to ex-
tort money or pnwisions from the farmers. The great
cities, as Lisle, Arras, and Amiens, have made con-
siderable loans, in order to assist the distressed.

THE NETHFAILIINDS

BRUMLS, MAY 26.—Letters from France say, that
:he Government has again given orders to he careful
in the enlisting of men for the army. It is still ge-
nerally observed that the old soldiers cannot atxustotn
themselves to be under the orders of Officers who
have not commanded them before, and that they fre-
quently express their dislike to it in an unequivocal
manner. This spirit cannot be changed except by
time, and it is therefore endeavoured to engage none
but such as have not served before, with the exception
of some superior Officers, some of the most known
of whom are employed from time to time, in order to
maintain the military spirit in some degree.
