of censure, in the Journals of this Conntry. But
we rather hope that it is to be nmre favourably
interpreted, and that while the French 'Govern-
ment is proceeding with zeal, in attempting to
,discover the author or authors of this diabolical
Iflesign upon th.e.life of the Hero of the Age and
the Deliverer of Europe, they .are afraid that if
their measures were to be tots public they might
be frustrated. But if we could suppose that the
French Government were cold, languid, and
inert upon a subject of so much importance to
!Europe and to its owl; honour, we should arraign
it for its injustice and ingratitude, if not enter-
lain suspicions against it of a much more serious
nature, as unhappily there is too great an admix-
lure of Jacobinism in the composition of the
}'tench Cabinet.

It is whispered that a certain High Female, not
It native of this Country, has resolved to appear
FIER MAJESTY'S Drawing-room this day,
Ilokigh she has reason to believe that her pre-
sence, on such an occasion, would by no means
experience a cordial reception. We state this as
*rumour which has certainly been prevalent some
time in the higher circles, but we cannot give
tredit to the existence of any intention to put in
Pactice so fruitless an indecorum.

are
Persuaded that they will determine upon such
grnumts as will satisfy the Nation at large, how-
ever it may excite the clamour of those who can
never be satisfied without the possession of place
anti power. Even The Morning Chronicle (candid
3mirnal !) has admitted that the untried Culprits,
have luckily escaped punishment, and, with
all the-impudence of impunity, now come for-

'tie perverseness of the Factious Writers would
"cite indignation, if their acrimonious effusions
were not too familiar to raise any feeling but c'snn-
trtnpt. A Writer of this description in a Morning
I?rint of this day, advertine: to the postponement
"f the Report of the Secret Committee of the
nouse of Commons, because. as •Mr. BRAGGB
It'‘.IIIOBST last night stated, a point had arisen
late in the day, which had prevented the Com-
Tuittee from coming to a conclusion, expresses a
hope that " a ray may diverge, which may guide
the stem of the House by the shortest road to the
Constitutional law and usage of the land." We
%visit that a ray may diverge to enlighten the under-
atanditig of the Writer, and clear it from the mists
of faction. We well know the efforts of this
Writer to bring odium upon Ministers for having
saved the Country from Sedition, and possibly from
the horrors of Anarchy, but his rancorons spleen
hot now no meaning, because the HABEAS CORPUS
SUSPENSION ACT, that Preservative of the Conn-
ittY. from the sophistry of such AVriters, and the
tuischievous credulity of their deluded f.;llowers, is

"law and usage of the land." Cannot the

rite Earl of LAUDERDALR'S supposition, an-
rtcglilced last night in the Upper House, that the
lit)'ise of Commons might impeach a Minister for
Measures- which Most probably preserved to the
Nt3te Lord the station which he possesses, and
the opportunity of .expressing his opinions in a
l'4-4tional Council, is one of those visionary
hYPotheses which ses•m to indicate the Partizan
rather than the Politician. We should be amused

I)P% many occasions, if we did not prefer• the
Peace and security of the State to the wanton
t`i'mls of the imagination. This Nobleman was

such profound Philosophers, Orators, and Politi-
