" ItETROSPrCT.

" FoREIGN INTELLIGENCg.—During the past
'week we have almost fancied ourselves carried back
to the most busy periods of the late war. The
London prints have attain teemed with " SccoNo
Eorriosts,- " MOST IMPORTA:s;T INTELLIGENce‘"
and al! the concomitant sounds Of " Bella hor-
rirl:! .'tVe were first atomised with the ire.
valion Of Portugal by the 'Spanielrds, with an ar-
iny of three columns, each consisting of 13,000
men ! 4nd our Ambassador had- been Sleeping:
.on his post, and the imbecile Feedinand bad, with
the arm of magic, performed what Buonaparte,
with Massena and all his host of celebrated Ge-
nerals, could-never accomplish.—Next day arrived
tremendous news from Russia ; and those who
-discover in the mighty autocrat of the North not
merely.a bear, but a bugbear, have been raised
tiptoe in the expectancy of the accomplishment of
t heir predictions (nosi :also in a long arrear of
credit) of the hostile intentions of Russia against.
time balance of European power, by the sailing of
the Russian fleet. The object of this movement
of a few sail of the line, at present appears to have
been merely a removal from one port to another ;
'but of course to those whose imaginations have
been heated by Sir R. Wilson's speculations, this
event could augur uo le-s than either a war with
-Turkey, or an attack upon the whole• Navy
of Engl3tl!! War, however, we must have;
and on Tuesday " Mahratta War" was blazoned
In large capitals in all the Metropolitan Journals'.
A Secret Committee assembled on Thursday, at the
India-House, to open the dispatches relating to
this dire catastrophe; and as custom is said to
sanction, on time part of that body, the most rigo-
TOtis concealment of the political events which
occur throughout the. Company's dominions, the
Military movements and operations by which those
events are 'produced, or are powerfully influenced
and affected, must of course remain for a period
• the'subject of conjecture and alarm. With all these
iiostile rumours afloat, is it at all wondrous that
the funds should fluctuate; they have at one pe-
riod fallen 3 per cent. and on Monday next, in all
• probability, they' will recover !
" DomEsTic—Trials at Derby.—Two of the
Conspirators-, Jeremiah Brandreth, known as the
Nottingham Captain, and Wm. Turner, an active
accomplice, have been found Guiliy by a Jury of
- their country, after a fair and open trial, upon
unimpeachable- testimony, and notwithstanding
the very able assistance of two eminent Council,
Mr. Cross and Mt. Denman. Lameniable indeed
would be the situation of us all, and slight the
nate on which we hold our lives and property,
sad the security of all that is dear to us, if move-
- thents, such as, these Conspirators contemplated,
however rash and, inconsiderate in them4.,elves
and however cootemptible in their Agents,
snould not call down the severest vengeance of
- the laws. Nothing, we are ready to own, rou!,l
be more mad and desperate than their designs in
the present case. They were to assemble in the
• neighboarhood of Nottingham, and to march front
thence to London, where they were to cdinpel
the 'Government, by hostile measures, 'to submit
to their wishes, which .wishes were in all'proba-
bility morally and physically' impossible. They
• were tOo poor and 'too destitute to possess the
• means of carrying their whole plan into execu-
tint) ; but yet they incurred time guilt of embat king
itt it. They flattered themsel‘es—an idle flattery
—that. they should find means, as the project went
on,acrinsare success: they hoped that they should
be joined by numbers f and it is by no means im-
probable, that many were disposed to have joined
them, and ha:l given them assurances to that ef-
fect, .whose hearts tailed them at the moment of
trial. ..Be'this as it may, time prisoners just. now
convicted, together with ()Otters, had formed a
plan, regular is all its details, and had proevetled
to act upon it. Brandreth's party was to be the
nucleus- of a large force„ which was to accutnulate
.as it went on, partly by volunteers and partly by
forced levies of men, guns, and atimunition. Thus
was to be formed the Grand rirmy., the'progress
of which had been accurately laid down upon the
map. Wild' and impracticable, we repeat it, was'
the undertaking; but most dangerous would he
;the doctrine, that time strangeness of a plot against
, the State should deprive it of its treasonable qua•
liry ; for history affords too mans instances in
• which means the most contemptible have OM-
tuately succeeded in overthrowing the most pow-
(wird empires.—Brandreth hitnsr.lf embarked in
the.s. hone with a savage resolutioo and ferocity:
811,1 in carrying it into effect lie shot a man with
his ov. tr hand: This fact, however, though it
adds- bloom!-guiltiness to treason, in no wise alters
the character of the latter crime : just as the at.:
task on Mr. Plates life, or the burglary and rob-
' In-ry in -which youn.g Watson was engaged at the
titno of that attack, made him neither 'wore nor,
of• the treason, in the prosecution of
whichr those crimes were perpetrated. Of Brand-
reth's guilt- no doubt can exist ; but in coin-mm-1
jastice to this poor deluded man, ire must offer
something (which, if it be not an extenuation, is
at least an explanation of his offence: There is
no doubt but that his ignorant mind was heated,
and-hia week judgment perverted, by seading.the
seditious libds of Cobbett, and the: blood-thirsty
speeches of limit. In our conscience, therefore,
we must say; that his criminality was far lighter
thin) that 4)f either of those Jacobins. Their
v.ick:edness was deliberate, and therefore on their
heads rests the 'blood of Cashman, of poor Jere-
Brindled', And of all the other criminais
whose lives 114,1Y,be eventually sacrificed to the
veaa,atmee of the offe„-i-,

lets, and flow, by his speechos, -urged the popu.

enough to draw their own necks out of the hal-
ter. •Cobbett has run away'to America.' Hunt,
it seems, has had the unfeAng,,andacity to pre-

poor men who had arted'in the spit-it of his atro-
cious harang-uts at Spa-fit Ids We • know not
whether this s%.:as a part of the infarnnus system of
lately adored- by the seditions fac-
tion to corrupt the admiuistiatitio of justice.
Perhaps Hunt thought that his presence would
have the effect of preventing Jurymen from
their duty to God and their Country. If he did,"
he "was mistaken. Happily, the Derbyshire Jury
then appear to have had then judgMents less per-
vented by the sophistry of Seditiom, than some
other persons in their otVn rank, in other parts of
theAiugdom. The 11ev. Preacher at the parish
church of All Saints, in Derby, in his sermon be-
fore the Judges, appears to have been anxious to
trace- theaffair, in great part, to religious fana-
ticism. In our opinion the truth is, that it is to
be put to the account of absolote infidelity ; it is
tha:-. which has demoralized the matiufacttiring
districts; and scarcely is there a paper, which is
the vehicle of jaeobinism, which (roes not also
attempt to sap the foundation of religion"
