.THE GRAND REVIEW.

t .
This day his MAJESTY reviewed the,Several.
Regiments at present composing the Garrison, in the Phoenix-
Park., Under any circumstances, so splendid a military spec-
tacle must have attracted all the rank and beauty of our City ;
but, when to the intrinsic attractions of the sight, was, su-
peradded the presence of Majesty, and the whole glorious-
ly displayed by the uncommon fineness of the play, it is not
surprising that the Perk should have been thronged at an early
hotir, by the elegant equipages which now fill the Metropolis;
and enlivened by the' 'charms' of that rank and beauty which
grace the joy and festivity of the passing ceremonies. At eleven
eel-tick, the line was formed on the Fifteen Acres, and consisted
of the following Regiments:_. he 3d Light Dragoons) the
Enniskillen Dragdons, thelth hussars, and the rah Lancers,
besides the 23d, 5.1 d, 43d, 33d, and 7tlth Regiments of Infantry,
and the whole fiatthecl by two troops and a Brigade of Artillery.
The eqni`pegm.-on tie ground Were Moreenumerot4 and splendid
than we ever witnessed. There was alsoscattereda numerous and
mingled crowd of persons of all ranks and conditions in life, who
repaired to the spot just as it pleased their tastes or their pockets,
either on foot or in the convenient aecommodation which our
town vehicles so readily afforded.—At balf;paSt 11 o'clock, a
brilliant cortege of military appeared moving towards the
ground, elegantly mounted, and tiding at a slow pace from the
direction of the'Regal residence. A general rush in that direc-
tioat took place, and the cry was, " the King ! the King !"
The popular expectation was, however, disappointed at the
moment of its anticipated exultation, for, as the caval-
cade approached, it was found to consist, not indeed of
unattractive or undistinguished Personages, for in, the
groupe, were his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, With
the whole of his staff, and , many other military officers
of I)igh rank; but, they 'rare net (however deservedly re-
spected) tile Personages whom the crowd had hurried to
see, and the people still moved onward towards the Lodge,
while the Artillery saluted his Excellency. At ten minutes
past twelve o'clockprecisely, the crowd had the gratification of
.seeing his Majesty. The King at that time rode out of the
private avenue in full military uniform, and mounted on a Grey
Charger. His Majesty looked in excellent health and spirits; and
appeared delighted at the enthusiastic reception heinet with from
the fortunate portion ofthe crowd, who took up their stations near
the western gate. He repeatedly, and with the dignity and atrabi-
lity so peculiarly his owh, acknowledged byobeisances, the enthu
siastic demonstrations of popular respect, which he encountered
as-he rode through the Park to the gronnd occupied by th e
Military. A small guard of Lancers preceded and folleiwa
his Majesty; Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, Colonel Quentin, and
Sir B. Belton,' the Ring's EquerrieS, rode by his side. His
Majesty recognised several Gentlemen whom he knew, en the
way, and most graciously condescended to salute tli6M in rise
most familia!' way. The Austrian Ambassador, in his full tali.
forni, Sir Charles Paget, in his naval uniform, and a num.
Gentlenien rode with the King, Who smiled
and 'conversed with those around him upon the gratifying
exhibition of so moth enthusiasm, as he then witnesacat. The.
Artillery discharged a Royal salute as the King rode mi the
ground. Ms Majesty approached the line-athe tYzilit p evo-
lutions' were commenced; and continued with the finest et'.
feet. The King repeatedly.. signified his .ap probation of
the fine condition of the troops in the field, and the ad-
mirable precision of their evolutions, which were in highest
degree military and 'imposing. His Majesty quitted the field
at three o'clock, accompanied by the same honouis, and greet.
eel with the same Warmth with which he had been received.--,
The Noble and Gallant Marquis of Anglesea was on the
ground, dressed in the uniform of his brave corps, the 7th Hus-
sars, at the head of which, he rode through the city on their re-
turn to their barracks; He was cheered warmly and raptujuusly
as he passed along, and was surrounded by an immense caval-
Cade of Gentlemen, who joined in these demonstrations or ad-
Miration anti respect.

His Majesty, it is expected; will arrive at the
Castle from the Park, at an early hour to-morrow
in his private carriage. He will leave the former
place, in state, a few minutes before eleven
o'clock for Christ. Church, Where he will attend
Divine service. He has commanded the attend-
ance of the Lord Mayor and Corporation upon
this occasion.--.-They will proceed in full state
from the Mansion-house. Last night, -the towu
was most brilliantly illuminated.
.ft is Nardly possible Tor those who were not
witnesses to it, to form an adequate idea of the-
eager anxiety evinced' by all classes to obtain a
view of his Most Gracious Majesty. upon. his-public entrance yesterday. 'Amongst others the
following exemplification of the popular feel-
ings, which we' think worthy of record, for- the
tharacteristic nationality it displays, fell under
our observation :—An individual, in the humbler
walks of life, had succeeded in being present at
the departure of hi's Majesty from the Phtenix
Park, but his curiosity being still unsated, he at-
tempted, by a short cut, to proceed to some
eli-
gible situation on the intended line of the. Pto-
cession ; his progress was interrupted by the
Canal, a bridge was at hand, but crowded to
so great an excess, that the delay. occasioned
by the difficulty of forcing a passage through the
throng would have been fatal to his design.' In.
this dilemma what. was to be done ?,
'waiting a moment's time to argue the matter lo-
gically,he boldly plunged in, clothes antral], swam
across, and reeking wet as he was, made the.best
of his way to his intended position, followed by-
the cheers and plaudits of a nurnelobs assetiiblage
of admiring.spectatorS.

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE 'MORNING PAPERS,
August 21,

[MORNING- POST.]
We Expressed our apprehension some days
since, that the scandal of the Oldham inquest
would be renewed in. this metropolis. We little
thought however, that it could be surpassed.
IVe did not irnagiue that it would be carried to
.he length it has been, or that if the attempt
were made, it would succeed as it has done. We

.
could not really believe, that the man whO is
always speaking about rights and liberties,
should unblushingly set himself up above all
:rights, and should. endeavor to lord it over an
.1n dependent COurt, with all the audaciousobsti-
nacy of usurpation and despotism. Of this, how-
ever, the proceedings at the Inquest held on
Richard Honey offer too many proofs, to allow
us to remain any longer incredulous,. We find
we had not done justice to the enterprising spirit
of the worthy Sheriff. It transcends all that we
had conceived; and though others might say
that in its progress it is apt to lose sight of such.
ceasmon placed virtues as modesty and truth, we
only admire it the more as it chews a daring lof-
tiness of character, unaccompanied by any of the
usual weaknesses of humanity. A brilliant dis-
play of this particular excellence in the worthy
composition, took place yesterday with
::abounded effect, as it will be seen by our Re-
port. Filled with very heroic indignation at
some supposed ill treatment of the witnesses who
were, and of the Jury who were not, to inspect
the Horse Guards in their Barracks, Mr. Waith-
rnaa suddenly and loudly declared that the
den duct of the Military was in pursuance of a
deep laid scheme to defraud justice of its due
—that the Jury were themselves repulsed from
the Barracks in order to deprive their witnesses
of the benefit of being countenanced by them,
and that every means of intimidation had been
practised against them. The witnesses were de-
scribed as being in a state of actual imprisonment
mzva dungeon under ground, 'and'suffering from
-want of fresh air and room to move about, at the
same time that they were not allowed to return,
and were subjected to the scrutiny of a Board of
Officers, assisted by Police Magistrates and Bow-
street Runners. The Jury caught the sklderman's
flame, and rose in wrath at this picture of the
defiance offered to their authority and the suffer-
ings inflicted on their witnesses, which seemed
too horrible for contemplation !—Now all this
was very grand, and almost as close to the
sublime as we are told the sublime is to the
Ridiculous. But what were the real facts of the
tans. ? Simply these, as they came out almost
immediately after in evidence. The witnesses,
as they were admitted within the walls of the
barracks, were placed together in the only unoc-
cupied part—the kitchen, we believe. As the
troops were not paraded so early as was expect-
ed and originally intended, the witnesses were of
course not permitted to wander about for the;
purpose of observing the military, but the room
they were in was airy and spacious, and they
were also permitted to walk •in the Riding
-School of the Regiment. So far from being con-
fined to the barracks, two or three came from
thence to the Jury without obstruction, and one
complained of being abruptly turned out. No
examination whatever took place on the part
of the Board of Officers, as stated, and it
was subsequently admitted by most of the
witnesses that they were treated with the
utrrost politeness and attention by the sol-
diers and the Magistrates. The propriety of
the line of conduct followed on this occasion
is obvious; for had the witnesses, instead of being
kept in one place together, been allowed -to per-.
ambulate the Barracks in parties, what could
have been easier for them than to fix on particular
individuals, and agree to point them out as the
persons who had fired ? A new conspiracy might
thus have been formed which it would have been

impossible to defeat, and which could only be
of prevented by the course adopted. This
was no doubt felt by those who raised the loudest

_ .
outcry ; but the conviction only served to increase
their disappointment and their fury. Hence the
Coroner was grossly reproached with want of ex-

ertion to protect the witnesses, and every insiou-

ation, however base, and every charge, however
groundless, were made against the honour of the

cnkitary. But these fall back on the authors,
arid the officers of the regiunent, as well as the

persons in authority as the occasiotr, are corn-
pintely exonerated. It will be seen that the

witnesses vary much in their attempts to identify.
Out of all the witnesses only one, and that a

=ere boy, could feel himself competent to swear
to the idemtity of the person who shot the de-

cess.ed, Richard Honey. We understand that
many perons were axed upon who were many
distant from London ou the day of the

P.lnoral

['ME TIMM].
The present visit of the King to Ireland is an
event which, from whatever cause it may have
originated, cannot in that country be soon for-
gotten, George I V. is, Indeed, the first British
MonsrCh who has ever set foot upon the island
but in arms—the first, with the exception. of
-Tames If., who did not Land to make war upon
the Irish nation, and whose march was not corn-
menmrated (here James is -no exception) by. fa-
mine and devastation. The entrance, accord-
ingly, of King George into his Irish capital, has
exhibited, on one side,. all the gloss of a first
gift, and on the other all the grace of infant gra-
titude. It well characterizes the habitual policy
of the English Government towards the peOple. of
Ir-l;nd, that they are in ecstacies with the reign-'
ing Sovereign, because he does not go to burn
and destroy them. en the decency and- good.
taste of such a spectacle, at such a time, we have'
already rather touched, than dwelt invidiously.
Let us now dismiss that part of the subject with •
a supposition to which our Christian charity
prompts us, that Ireland was so sunk in gloom—
so fraught with misery—so broken in heart—as
to feel that the single gleam of sunshine within
it reach, was a sacrifice far too precious to be
gifizrded to the griefs of England, or to the

claims of general human-ity. The Irish take
pride in the Teception they ]lave given
their Sovereign ; and 'iciyalty, it is certain, may
in some instances be at once founded in reason,
and crricd to enthusiasm, with great honour to
the breasts which indulge it. frhls, we trust,
will hereafter he fixed in the rerneArance of the
people of Ireland, as one of the occasions on which
the display of national attachment to a Monarch
was no less just than generous; and that his Ma-
jesty will, at 'length, effect for that much-injured
and ill-governed people, all that we do most sin-
cerely believe his own heart now impels him to
desire for their benefit, and thus prove to them
that they have '4 loved. him wisely—not too well."

The above is) no doubt, intended as the ANENDE
11/YITORABLE for the 'attacks which the same Paper has made
on the People of Ireland ; but it is very clumsily done, and the
Irish can be little gratified by such an insult to their good sense
andloyalty as to hear it said that they receive their Sovereign
with enthusiasm, only " because he does NOT go to Vim and
destroy th6n !"

[ol 0 ItNING CHRONrCLE.]
We have carefully abstained from making ob-
servations upon the proceedings of the Coroner's
Inquests on the bodies of the two unfortunate
men who were shOt by the military near am-
ber:and-gate, much less should we attempt to
dictate to the Coroner or the Jury as to the
course they should take, believing, as we do,
that such a course would have been subversive
of the principles of justice—not so, however,
with the Ministerial writers, they have been quite
furiouS,and-one of them in particular has ever since
'be6n raving and loaniing at the mouth. He has
conjured up conspiracies and treasons, and told
the Coroner and the Inquest not only what
they 'ought to do, but
.has impugned their con-
duct for what they have done. They have
railed against Mr. Waithman, forsooth, because,
when he found the unhappy relatives of the
deCeased both ignorant and destitute of the
means of inquiry, and they requested him to
put such questions; and act for them as he might
deem necessary, he complied with their request.
What Iv'ould'every man of feeling have said, had
Mr. WaithrOan turned round upon them- in the
moment of agony and distress, while the brother
was supporting his fainting sister, and said,--
" No, employ Counsel and Solicitors ?" But
does Mr. Waitlunan perform this friendly office
better than lawyers ? It is a high compliment
to him if he does. DoeS he perform it worse ?
then the retainers of Ministers have no reason to
complain. But after they have formed out of
their own brain,lriots, conspiracies and treasons,

they say the Sheriff is the. conservator of the
' public peace. He should have brought the
posse comitatus ; and he is criminal, and under

their heavy denunciation. But did Lord Bathurst
require the aid of the Sheriffs ? Did not the
Sheriff write to Lord Liverpool, as Sheriff of the
County, to be informed as to the route that was
to be taken ? Did Lord Liverpool tell him when
and how the remains of her Majesty were to be
removed ?* His Lordship did, to be sure, con-
descend to say that they were to be conveyed by
the New-road from Hammersmith to Romford.
But who ever. before heard of such a. new road ?

When Mr. Waithman was in the procession, had
he received any instroctibns ? Did he not find
the whole under military controul, and that the sti-
pendiary Magistrate Ministers had appointed for
the occasion was absolutely powerless? And
when he foresaw the mischiefs. likely to accrue.
and endeavoured to prevent them, he had no
control over the military, and his authority was
set aside, and the blood of the people copse=
quently shed.
• Lord LIVERPOOL, in answer to Mr. WAITIIMAN'S ap-
plication to know the intended course of the Funeral Proces-
sion, as we before observed, was referred to the Chamberlain's
Office, where he might have obtained full information. Did he
apply. there or not ?—lf he did he ought to have promulgated
the information. That the • information wan promulgated is
evident from the digging of trenches, placing of waggons,
carts, &c. &C. to impede its prescribed course. The mob who
made those obstacles must, therefore, have been employed for
the purpose, and were doubtless well paid for their labour.—
$y whom were they DIRECTED and REWARDED ?

[MOH NINO ITERAL D.]
The accounts from the Continent are just such
as to keep public curiosity in a state of unsatis-
fied excitement. The Paris Papers of Saturday,
whiCh reached us yesterday, leave the question
of peace "or war just where it stood before. It
is true, an article from Warsaw states the preva-
lence of a rumour, that an affair of outposts had
already taken place on the Pruth, a river which
separates
.the Turks and Russians ; but this we
suspect is merely an echo of a report which
reached us several days since, direct from Frank-
fort, and hag now travelled by the circuitous route
of Warsaw. The Emperor Alexander has, it is'
,related, sent to the Great Powers a circular note,
explanatory of his views respecting the Greeks and
l'urkt; ; and it is naturally to be expected that he
would not willingly plunge into a war against the
will of his Allies. Bat he hasao armed force on foot
in a moment of peace, which gives an alarming pre-
ponderance to his side in negociation. lle has,
moreover, the co,operation of Austria. It is one
of the most singular circumstances, in the treaties
which followed the French war, that no restric-
tion was placed upon Russia as to the military
force which she. should maintain--nor does the
increase of the Russian force by new levies,
without any ostensible object, appear to have
given rise to any diplomatic remoustrance, not-
withstanding the impression produced by those
levies throughout Europe. This was the great
security of peace under former treaties. Any
new movements in the military or naval strength
of France, under Louis X 1 V., was observed with
jealous vigilance. The same course was pursued
towards Spain, when that kingdom was ambitious
and powerful.

[BßlTlSH Pat-4.1
The affairs of Turkey, so far at feast as they
regard the queition of a probable war between
Russia and the Porte, seem to approach their
crisis. This point, to which the eyes of the
world are now turned with anxious interest, will
soon be deterrniued;vntl if ea opinion were to be

formed froth the extensive Military preparations
which arp said to be Made, both in:Austria and
in Russia, we shoal& judge that the result of
the discussions which hitve so long occupied the
several Cabinets of Europe. -will be unfavourable
to the interests of Turkey. Paris papers of
Saturday inform us that the Austrian army on the
Turkish frontiers continues to receive consider-
able reinforcements, and that extensive maga-
zines are 'formincr. in Hungary.- An impres-
sion is hence said to prevail' in Vienna that
Austria will take an active part in the ensuing
quarrel in concurrence with Russia; and we are
further told that the rashness and presumption of
a Turkish officer in pursuing a fugitive into the
Austrian-territories, and insolently threatening a
repetition of this national outrage, have given
sufficient cause to the Austrian Cabinet for as-
suming a direct and immediate part in the threat-
ened war. A rumour prevailed in Warsaw about
the 30th of last month, that a conflict had. ac-
tually
taken place between. the advanced
guards of the Russians and of the Turks, but
nothing is said of the result. This rumour,
we have no doubt, was premature, and' notwith-

standing the confidence with. which the state-
ments are put forth respecting the extenlive
preparations for war, we still entertain the be-
lief' which we have already expressed, that the
peace now subsisting will' not be disturbed, at-least
upon the present grounds of- quarrel. We had
at first hoped differently, but Russia having pro-
tracted so long her claims to satisfaction for the
insults personally ofrered to the., Ambassador,
our hopes and wishes have. yielded to the sober
probability that Russia has submitted her pri.
vate quarrel to the judgment of other Cabinets;
and abstains from the exercise of her superior
military strength.

[NEW TIMES.]
The Radical Press has been sorely disr.p-
pointed by the candour and manliness which ad-
mitted the witnesses to see the individual soldiers

who were on duty at Cumberland-gate. The
Editors were sure that no such permission would
ever he granted : they even asserted that it had
been tefused ; but, lo! the fact puts them to
shame, if shame it be in their natures to feel. Let
us now see whether the 44 Escort" will act with

the same manliness. Let us see whether they wi 1
dare to submit themselves to the inspection o
the Police Officers. We can assert, on the mos
i►►disputable authority, that some of these me►

began the riot. They struck the Civil Autho-
rities ; they threatened to ride over them ; they
encouraged the mob to beat, wound, and cruelly
maltreat them, and at length, they raised the
sanguinary cry—" The City-, or Death." This,
we say, was the cause of the bloodshed which
afterwards ensued. These, if murder was
perpetrated, were the real Murderers! To
identify, them, therefore, is much more the duty
of the Coroner than to identify the particular
individuals who may happen to have fired off
the pistols that killed some individuals ; for

nothing can be clearer than that those pistols
would never have been fired, had it not been for
the atrocious and almost treasonable audacity of
the villains who first obstructed the progress of
the Royal Corpse. The contest arose about shut-
ting Cumberland-gate ; but the parties would
never have been at Cuml)erland-gate except for
the riot which turned the procession out of its
due course; it would , have gone up Church-
street, and so got into the Uxbridge road.—" It
is certain," say the law books, " that the Coroner
may and ought to inquire of all the circumstances
of the party's death, and also of all things which
occasioned it." Now it cannot be denied that the
riot excited by the horsemen at Kensington occa-
sioned the death of the men at Cumberland-gate ;
for it was the cause, and the sole cause, of their
being there : it was the cause of that ferocious
spirit in the mob which led them to adopt and
act upon the resolution implied in the, words—
The City or Death !" Not till these horsemen
arrived did the mob overturn the carts in Church-
street ; nor till they arrived did the mob pro-
ceed to violence against the police-officers ; but
then, incited by the horsemen, they fell Upon
these unfortunate persons with the most
brutal fury. We ourselves have seen a stone
of several pounds weight, which struck one
of them on the back, knocked him down, and
rendered him quite senseless. Another police-
officer was wounded in the eye with the
point of an umbrella; another was beaten se-
verely with sticks and umbrellas ; another re-
ceived a very violent blow on the back of his
head ;, another, it! attempting to - remove the
carts, was pelted with large stones and beaten
with sticks and umbrellas ; another was struck
on the head ; another was beaten both by horse-
men and pedestrians ; another was often Struck
and much ill used ; and all were hooted, hissed,
insulted, and prevented from discharging the
duty to which they were appointed. A cla-
.mour is raised against employing a military po-
lice; but all these savage barbarities were exer-
cised on the civil polie-9. -.Who reoilerelthe em-
ployment of a military police necessary ? Those
who not only had refused lawful obedience to
the civil police, but almost murdered the civil
officers.—'What we have been speaking of, hap-
pened at Church-street,,Kensington. The inter-
ference of the military was first called 'in at
Kensiugton-gate ; but. there Sir Robert I3aker
thought fit to yield to the rioters. It has
been said that his perseverance would only
have occasioned bloodshed ; and he listened
to the humane horsemen, who interfered to
persuade him to abandon his public duty. In
our humble opinion, he ought to have committed
these advisers of crime ; and if he did not, the
Sheriff should : but of one thing we are conti-
dent, that had the soldiers forced Kensington-
gate there would have been no lives lost at all.
Two or three rioters, who rashly held the gate
together, would have been knocked down, and
the resolution of the Magistrate to compel obe-
dience to the law, in one instanceovould have
deterred the offenders from a second attempt.

Two oxen were recently slau%htered at Ham-
burgh, one weighing 3,6001b5, the other 33 800Ihp.
They were both bred in nolsteinlund fed merely
on grass.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

(From " Farley's Bristol Journal," Aug. 18.)
RETROSPECT...

REMOVAL OF THE QUEEN'S REMAINS.—It is impossible
that any reflecting mind can. peruse the account of the fatal pro-
ceedings of Tuesday last without the.most painful emotions.—
Disguise it as we will, it was the triumph of mob law over
the constituted authorities of the kingdom. Deeply responsible
to their country are those men who, by inflammatory speeches,
and paragraphs m newspapers, excited the populace to resist
what ought to them, and to every subject in the realm, to have
been sacred, the lawful command of a lawful and proper au-
' thority. say-nothing of the indecency of disturbing the
obsequies of the dead by tumult and bloodshed, we speak of a
more senous and alarming evil, the open defiance of law ; and
the avowed will of the mob controlling and overpowering the
authority of the State. 1t is dreadful to hear the rabble talk-
ing of the exploit of the day as a victory !—A victory ? Over
what ? Over law and order, over all the bulwarks of liberty,
and all the safeguards of life. If the law be not immediately
and strongly resorted to—if the guilty promoters of seditious
tumult be not forthwith proceeded against and brought to jus-
tice, we must say that the Government•of the country will be
henceforth held at the tenure of mere popular caprice. The.
breath of a demagogue suffices to blow into the , air every
power, which does not rat on the support of au efficient sys-
tem of law.

The present case is shortly this : Motives of Public Policy
invest the King with a right to direct the Funeral Ceremony
of his deceased Queen : he exercises that right ; a few private
individuals declare that it shall be resisted : and resisted the
King's Officers, civil and military, in their obedience to Ins*Ma-
jesty's lawful commands. The sad results are the loss of seve-
ral lives,- and the maiming and wounding of a number of un-
fortunate individuals. But the most important point to be
considered is, that the measures of the-rioters must have been
the result of plan and pre-concert. It is manifest that 'there
must have been perions in a
:somewhat higher sphere of life
than those actually engaged in the conflict, who laid the scheme,
for this resistance to Royal authority. These men should be
discovered and brought to trial at whatever expence, and with
whatever trouble and perseverance. What their offence, in
our opinion, amounts to, we shall not say; but we suppose no
reasonable man can doubt that it is an offence of a very deep
die—leading to open contempt of the King's person and au-
thority—to violent breach of the public peace—and.to destruc-
tion of life and limb.

We are disposed to feel respect for Lady Hood, but the pub-
lication of her letters to Lord Liverpool has occasioned evils
which we are sure she cannot but deeply repent. We are
equally disposed to speak of her Majesty's Executors with all
deference ; but those Learned Gentlemen have hazarded a le-
gal opinion on the powers vested in them, which opinion we
cannot but think precipitate, and in which, if they should turn
cut to be mistaken, their mistake will certainly have been most
pernicious. Is there any distinct authority for holding, that the
Executor of a Queen Consort has such a property in the corpse
of the deceased, that he can dispose of it at his will and plea-
sure, in opposition to the express command of the King ? Or
does not public policy, on the contrary, vest in the King an ab-
solute right of directing the funeral of the Queen Consort ? It
is a clear principle of our law that to resist the Ring's lawful
commands is a misdemeanor. Can the Executors deny that
the commands for the Queen's Funeral were given by the King;
or do they mean to contend that those commands were unlaw-
ful ? A prudent man would not stir such a question rashly ;
more especially, when its agitation was likely to inflame the ,
minds of the populace, and to lead to consequences which all
men must deplore. Responsibility therefore, of no small
weight, in our opinion, must rest on the shoulders of those
Gentlemen.
