THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AIARCH 14, 1536,

disprotes it: So far we must say Mr. O'Connell
stands acqnitted.. On the Other and tide important
question, that of a breach of the law and constitution
of Parliainentary elections, We are as decidedly of opi-
nion that the offence is preyed: Our Leaders yvould not
be tibl*d to us for dragging them through the mass of
evidence„ with which the public mind is already wearied.
We will, therefore, treat the question in as concise a man-
ner as possible. The law more particularly applicable to
a cae of this soft-the 4th George fII., c. 118,

which imposes penalties on persons giving or receiving
money =.o procuring the election of a. Member to Par-
liament—provides that the Act shall not extend to any
money paid, or agreed to be paid, to, or by any person,
for any legal expense bona fide incurred at, or concern-
ing any election. Now, if the contract between Mr.
O'Connell and Mr. Raphael went to secure only the
payment of the bona fide legal expenses of the
election, it is clear that no illegality would attach to
that contract ; and for any breach of his engagement
Mr. Raphael might have his remedy by an action for
damages upon that breach in one of the ordinary Courts
of civil jurisdiction. But was the contract confined to
the legal expenses of the election ? Has it not been
proved that there was to have been an application of
the surplus beyond the legal expenses, to something
else than the payment of such legal expenses ? If so,
we ask how the Committee can, in the face of the
country, negative the charge of illegality as to a con-
tract by which the parties contemplated the creation.
of a fund for other purposes. than the bona fide
expenses of the election ? It matters not what
those purposes were—whether to compensate ejected
voters, as it was said, or to discharge a debt
arising out of a former election in which 'Mr. Vigors
was concerned. Nor does it make any difference to
show that the circumstance of a petition being pre-
sented against the return of Mr. Raphael caused the
whole of the consideration-money to be absorbed in the
expenses of the election, if the original contract were
illegal, and would have been acted upon to the full
extent of its illegality but for the circumstance of that
petition having been presented, which was, at the time
of the contract, a very doubtful contingency. The
Committee, however, rely upon the facts alleged in the
following paragraph of their report as exculpatory of
Mr. O'Connell :

" It appears that Mr. O'Connell addressed a letter, bear-
ing date Ist of June, 1835, in which the agreement for Mr.
Raphael's return for the county of Carlow for 2,0001. was
concluded. The Committee cannot help observing that the
whole tone and tenor of this letter were calculated to ex-
cite much suspicion and grave animadversion ; but they
must add that, upon a very careful investigation, it appeared
that previous conferences and communications had taken
place between Mr. Raphael, Mr. Vigors, and other persons
connected with the county of Carlow, and that Mr. O'Con-
nell was acting on this occasion at the express direction of
Mr. Raphael, and was only the medium between Mr. R.
and Mr. V. and the political club at Carlow."
Now, we ask, what difference does it make whether
Mr. O'Connell stood alone in his transactions with
Mr. Raphael, touching the traffic about a seat in Par-
liament, or acted, as the Committee say, as only the
medium between Mr. Raphael, Mr. Vigors, and the
political club at Carlow ? The ComMittee admit that
the whole tone and tenor of Mr. O'Connell's letter of
the Ist of June, 1835, was calculated to excite much
suspicion and grave animadversion ; and how is
that suspicion removed, cr that cause of animadversion
purged, by the circumstance of Mr. O'Connell deal-
ing for the benefit of Mr. Vigors or the Carlow Club,
in his traffic with Mr. Raphael, and not for his own ?
Had Mr. O'Connell been an ordinary individual it
might have made some difference ; but it must be
always borne in mind that he is a person exercising
great political influence in Irish elections, and that he
is applied to by Mr. Raphael, not as a mere indivi-
dual to be the medium between him and Mr. Vigors
or the Carlow Club, but as a person exercising such
political influence, and having by means of it seats
in Parliament at his disposal, and that to an extent
which was unknown under the old boroughmonger-
ing system. It should also not be left out of that
account that Mr. O'Connell did actually exercise
that political influence, and with effect, for Mr. Ra-
phael. He was not, therefore, a mere medium for
passing the money from the latter to Mr. Vigors, but
must be considered in the light of one who, for a pe-
cuniary consideration (not indeed for his own personal
advantage), sold his political influence in procuring a
seat in Parliament for another, who had not the slight-
est chance of being elected without the intervention of
such influence. Now, we ask, how does a traffic of
this sort differ in principle from that which was alleged,
and properly alleged, as a high constitutional offence
against the late Lord Castlereagh in the House of
Commons ? For our part, we cannot see the difference
in principle, and we think the evil example and the
mischievous consequences as great in one case as the
other. We argue this question without any political
bias whatever. There were Tories as well as Whigs
upon the Committee that has exonerated Mr. O'Con-
nell from political as well as legal and moral delin-
quency in this transaction. Some persons may not be
much surprised that Tories should agree with Re-
formers in thiS decision, but _we are surprised that
Reformers could at all reconcile it with their principles
to come to such a decision. We wish to see the Con-
stitution protected in its integrity, and more especially
as far as freedom and purity of election are concerned,
from the encroachments which may be made upon it to
serve the immediate ambition of any party, and there-
fore we argue this question as one wholly disconnected
with party considerations.—Morning Herald.
We perceive among the notices of motions to be
made next week in the House of Commons an inti-
mation that Mr. Thomas Duncombe is about to stand
forward as a reformer of the Whig Reform Act. The
Hon. Member for Finsbury is very anxious to remove
that portion of the maxima charta, as it has been fa-
cetiously called, which requires the payment on a cer-
tain day in each year of all poors' rates and assessed
taxes then actually three months over due, as a condi-
tion of registration. This senator seems to be of opi-
nion that three months is a very insignificant portion
of time, scarcely worth 'mentioning, or even thinking
about, for a payment of any kind to be overdue, and
that it is the most oppressive, vexatious, and ungenteel
thing in the world to be so nice for a few months, or
even a few years, with liberal claimants of the franchise.
We differ from Mr. Duncombe in this as in some
other particulars. It seems to us a very proper
and rational proviso, in, a measure which assumes
the occupation of a 101. house as a test of social re-
spectability, that such occupants of houses as are
unwilling or unable to pay the rates and taxes, with
which their dwellings are legally charged, in three
months after they become due should be deprived of
the political privileges enjoyed by their more punctual
neighbours. The regulation is admirable, besides, as
a means of stimulating tardy paymasters and lightening
the labour of tax collectors. Mr. buncombe regards
this as an enormous fault in a measure of Reform.
We hope there will not be found quite a majority
of the House of Commons to sympathize upon this
point with the feelings of Mr. Duncombe. From the
terms of the Resolution which the Hon. Member
for Finsbury intends to submit to the House of
Commons it seems to be his opinion that the Re-
forming Parliament made a capital blunder in its
estimate of the worldly circumstances or of the
paying propensities of the class of persons upon
whom it conferred the elective franchise. The re-
solution asserts that the proviso, requiring the pay-
ment, on a fixed day in each year, of the assessed
taxes and poors'-rates, then three months over due, as
a condition of registration, " has tended to reduce the
constituency of Great Britain much lower than was
contemplated by the Legislature." This is certainly
rather an awkward compliment to the intelligence of
the Reform Legislators, and to the respectability of
the constituency which they intended to create. Mr.
Duncombe, we recollect, was a staunch advocate for
" the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill."
We recollect also that some Statesmen, who are gene-
rally supposed to keep their eyes open to the state of
society, in its various classes, in Great Britain, and
-who were not entirely convinced of the infallibility of
the authors of the Bill (we delight to mention
the name of Mr. Croker, as one of the most
eminent and able of the number), endeavoured
to impress upon Parliament their own convic-
tion that the occupation of a 101. house is not
so certain a symbol of propety as the Reform legisla-
tlys, in their wisdom, thought proper to consider it.

I is edifying and amusing to _observe how soon the
firmest believers in the dditcetiiess of Lord John Rus-
sell's'information and in the soundness of his Lord-
ship's judgment have seen reason to impeach both.
We are vleAsed with the forthcoming attempt of Mr.
Duncombe to put a resolution On the Journals of the
House, declaring, in tams which cannot lie mis-
understood, that the Reform Ministers were wrong,
and their politicril anjagonists right, in the estimate
they severally formed of the 10/. franchise. Mr.
Croker and others were of opinion that as the basis
of a representative system, the 10/. householders
would disappoint the Reform legislators. The resolu-
tion which Mr. Duncombe is to propose, in a night
or two, and in favour of which a whole host of the
liberal partisans of Lord John Russell and his Bill
will probably vote, affirms that the 10/. householders
have in fact done so ; that having been expected to pay
their taxes regularly, they have refused or neglected to
perform this duty ; that having been expected to at-
tach much value to the franchise offered to them by
the Bill, they have really attached little or none. Mr.
Duncombe, however, will probably fail in his attempt
to convince the House of Commons to offer the fran7
chise, unconditionally, to the occupants of 101. houses,
unless he can adduce some better argument in favour
of his new reform, than the fact that many of this de-
scription of persons have shown themselves either un-
willing or unable to pay their rates and taxes within a
reasonable time.—Morning Post.

We arc glad to sec, by the notice paper of the Com-
mons House of Parliament for this day, that Sir
Stratford Canning intends to call the attention of the
House to the late events at Cracow. More unjusti-
fiable proceedings were never had recourse to than
those which have been recently enacted by Russia,
Austria, and Prussia, towards that free and indepen-
dent Republic—free by the unanimous consent of all
the Powers which were parties to the treaty of Vienna,
and independent, by the same authority, of all inter-
ference, save that of mere " extradition" of convicted
felons or traitors, upon their delivery being claimed by
either of the protecting Powers. What were the re-
sults of the negotiations respecting Cracow ? Why,
that by section 6th of the general treaty of Vicnna, Cra-
cow and its territory were declared to be ‘' free, inde-
pendent, and strictly neutral in perpetuity," under the
protection of the three surrounding Powers of Russia,
Austria, and
.Prussia.
This declaration," as is justly observed in Polonia, "is
then further developed in the additional Treaty relating to
Cracow, of the 3d of May, 1815, consisting of 19 Arti-
cles. Article 7of this Treaty begins--' The three Courts
having approved of the Constitution which shall govern the
free town of Cracow and its territory, and which is an-
nexed as an integral part of the present Articles, they
take the said Constitution under their joint guarantee. By
the avowal, therefore, of these Powers, the Constitution
of Cracow forms an integral part of the Additional Treaty,
which Additional Treaty was declared, as we saw before,
to be an integral part of the arrangements of the Con-
gress, and to have everywhere the same force and effect as
if had been inserted word for word in the General Treaty.'
Consequently, the Constitution of Cracow stands under the
same sauveguarde of England as any other article to which
she subscribed in the Treaty of Vienna ; it forms an inte-
gral part of a whole system settled at the Congress of Vi-
enna, which no party dares to infringe or violate, but by
common consent."
_ _ _

What has since taken place is known to every one.
Cracow has been treated even as England might with
a fairer spew of justice have treated the lonian Is-
lands ; her neutrality has been declared null—bar in-
dependence set at nought—her constitution suspended
—her territory invaded—her inhabitants seized and
sent out of the country without proof or allegation of
crime ;—and, finally, as we learn from accounts last
night, her constitutional prerogatives invaded by the
forced resignation of one President, and the forcible
appointment of another I Were ever such proceedings
known in ancient or modern times ? Was there ever
a more flagrant violation of the most solemn trea-
ties? Was there ever a more barbarous invasion
of the rights, and liberties, and freedom of a free and
independent state ? Was there ever a more abject
submission on the part of two such Powers as
Austria and Prussia to the rampant ambition of a
third, than that which has been manifested upon the
present occasion, or did England and France ever ap-
pear in a more disgraceful guise than they now do in
permitting these powers to break through all their sti-
pulated undertakings, in destroying the independence
of Cracow ? The honour of England was never com-
promised to such an extent as in permitting Russia to
ride rough-shod over the gallant battalions, which
fought knee-deep in blood for the freedom and inde-
pendence of their country. It is the only stain upon
the Government of Earl Grey—but it is a great and
mortal stain ; let it now be wiped out, or England
yield her supremacy at once to the barbarian of the
North. Cracow is not only the last cradle of Polish
independence, but with the desertion of her cause is
also most intimately joined a long night of darkness
fOr all Europe, and the lowering of England from the
condition of the first State in Europe to that of a se-
cond-rate Power.—Morning Advertiser.

WASHINGTON'S FAREWELL TO THE AMERICAN
ARMY.—" At noon," says Judge Marshall, " the principal offi-
cers of the army assembled at Frances' Tavern ; soon after
which their beloved commander entered the room. His emo-
tions were too strong to be concealed. Filling a glass, he
turned to them, and said, ' With a heart full of love and gra-
titude, I now take leave of you : I most devoutly wish that
your latter days may be as prosperous and happy as your former
ones have been glorious and honourable.' Having drunk, he
added, I cannot come to each of you
,to take my leave, but
shall be obliged to you, if each of you will come and take me
by the hand.' Gen. Knox being nearest, turned to him. Incapa-
pable of utterance, Washington grasped his hand, and embraced
him. In the same affectionate manner he took leave of each
succeeding officer. In every eye was the tear of dignified sen-
sibility, and not a word articulated to interrupt the majes-
tic silence, and the tenderness of the scene. Leaving the
room, be passed through the corps of light infantry, and
walked to Whitehall, where a barge waited to convey him to
Powles.hook. The whole company followed in procession.
On arriving there, he entered the barge, and as it moved
from the shore be waved his hat and bowed to the multitude
in silence, while they stood uncovered and returned his digni-
fied salutation with every mark of affectionate respect. On
arriving at Philadelphia, he delivered in his accounts for the
whole war to the Comptroller."— Washington's Life.—Family
Library, No. 54. just published.
SHERIDAN.—The following story of Sheridan and
the playwright, is vouched for upon good authority. The
playwright had sent a comedy to Mr. Sheridan for perusal,
and of course approval, and of course heard nothing more of
his comedy. He waited six months patiently—the season was
then over, and he therefore resolved to wait on till the next
season began ;he did so—he then called at Mr. Sheridan's,
who at that time lived in George-street, Hanover-square—lnot
at home, of course—he then despatched a note—no answer
—another—ditto—another call—still the same result. At last,
however, the author hit upon the expedient of posting himself
in the hall, on a day in the evening of which there was to be
an important debate in the House of Commons. This was .
a blockade which even the ingenuity of the wit could not
evade ; the author was therefore admitted. His inquiries
were respectful, but earnest. "My comedy, Mr. Sheridan
—l—"—Yes—to be sure—clearly—the—?" " Fashion-
able Involuments, in five nets," said the author,
helping his great friend to the name of his work, which he
hoped might recall the work itself to his recollection—a hope
most vain.—" Upon my word," said Sheridan, " I—l'm in a
great hurry—l really don't remember—l am fraid your play
has been somehow mislaid. Mislaid !" exclaimed the
anxious parent of the lost bantling-. "My dear Sir, if it is, I
am ruined—l have no copy of it."—" It is very unfortunate,"
said Mr. Sheridan, " very—l'm sure I regret—l—."—" But
what can I do, Sir?" said the author. —" I tell you what, my
dear friend," replied Mr. Sheridan, " I cannot promise you
your own play back, because I don't know where any of the
last year's pieces are ; but if you will open that table drawer,
you will find a great number that have been Sent me this year;
you may take any three of those in exchange, and do what you
like with them."—Gilbert Gurney. ( A similar anecdote is re-
lated of Garrick and a dramatist. )—Mirror.
A tomb of the ancient Gauls, which is of the
highest interest to the science of Archeology, has lately been
discovered at Porcheville, near Mantes, in the Seine et Oise.
The sides are formed of six rough hewn stones. It is sir feet
in width and nine in length, and is covered by another stone
eight feet wide and ten feet long. The bottom is paved with
flat stones, and the tomb contained 50 skeletons, some having
their faces turned towards the North and the others towards
the South. Among the bones, which soon became dust, there
were some shells, ashes, bones of animals, the remains of pot-
tery hard in substance and of a blackish colour, stones perfo-
rated with holes, evidently worn as ornamentE, the iron barb
of an arrow, a very fine hatchet formed of flint, and a pebble
on which the profile of a man is rudely cut, similar to the spe-
cimens of the medals of the Gauls.
LAWYERS.—Lord Burleigh, who was Lord Chan-
cellor in Queen Elizabeth's time, in his " Manuel," says, " I
wolde never suffer lawyers to digresse or wrangle in pleadinge,
always advising Counsellors to deale trulie and wyselie with
theyr clients, that if the matter were nought, to tell them so,
and not sooth them ; and where I founde such a lawyer, I
wolde never thinke him houeste, nor recommende him to anie
preferments, as not fitte to be a Judge, that wolde give false
Counsell,"
