the peril of his life, and rescued the stranger from

and greatly would we have rejoiced, it we, had not
peen compelled to throw a cloud upon it, by in.-

IJALFORD, "W. HEItE,MEN,

To reason on a side where we desire to be
beaten in argument is neither the•most pleasing
nor the most probably •triumphant•'task which
!,miglit be undertaken, and such, we acknowledge,
is our situation in speaking of the conduct of Sir
ROBERT WILSON, Mr. HUTCHINION, and Mr.
BRUCE. They are our Countrymen, and we wish
thoy were blameless ;---their acts, to a certain
degree, implicate the national xboracter and we
wiati b'e , delighted to fin►l thent abiolved even
from the charge of hotly. But our understandiug
revolts at the absurdity and impudence of the
justification which has. been labourcti in their
behalf, as if to destroy them by a mock defence.

" Save us trom our friends " noty, they will
eXalliti, and kave 113 to the mercy of our foes.

This defence is of a twofold kind, and so dissi-
lair in its parts, that one branch may be called
tt justification on principle, and the other an apo7
logy addressed to the feelings.
They are utterly incunaiste•.nt with each other.

It has been urged that the English of Ibis party
in Tads haire been incensed. by the " murder" of
NE r, LABEDOYERE, &c. and indignant at the
breach of the 12th Article of the Capitulation of
Paris by the Duke of WPAA.INGTON ; that there./
fore they held it to be their duty as Englishmen
to save LAVALETTE, whose life they pretend was
guaranteed by that Convention. This is the de-
fence: on principle tor rescuing a Traitor front the
sentence of the law.

Entirely at variance with this doctrine is the
second line Of palliation—an excuse for a gene-
rous indiscretion in aiding a peewit to escape, Who,
having already got oiu of gaol, appealed, without
In evious concert or notice, to individual humanity,
.to save him from execution. \Vc fear, from this
being to tifiFr:tili)tieli :that it is tint ilia title case.
We with to Heaven it May ; fo‘r then, indeed,
'hough w e could not Commend the action, we could
make allowance for the dread di!enuna into which
pay Man must be thrown by such an address to,
ledingi and humanity.
