on the sorrows of her life. and sympathy in liar

on the part of 11w prosecution. the inflammatory
halbert. of the Att y.Geireral, cud the monstrous
s'atement. of Isis unwires—fon a word laid been

Queen', 3et enough was visible to the sagacious and
iaquiring part of the inhabitants of this parish to
convince Mein that the case for the prosecution was
all of subornation and perjury, arid unworthy of
belief, and that the Quern was mast villainously
slandered ; we therefore congratulated her Majesty
on her miticipated triumph, as an event already
certain. We did not deceive ourselves; the
tristmpli his been must complete. Her enemies

Now if in this disgrace the Ministers had shorn a

is not so—their enmity is unabated, and their ma.
hguity is lint further envenomed by their defeat.
