TUESDAY, NOVFMI3I.:I( 26, 1811.

The trial of Dr. SHERIDAN, in the Court of King's
Bench, Dublin, terminated on Friday last, and our
Readers will see, by the abstraa of the proceedings
which we have copied Iron) the Irish Pipers, that
he was acquitted. We have seen wish consider-
able regret the tone assumed by some of the
Irish Papers upon this occasion, .beentiset nothing
can 'be produdive of more injurious, conie=-
quences—nothing can be more inconsistent with
the spirit of our Laws and the principles
.of our
Constitution, than the mixing of parry teelings with
jddiCialoproceedings. Those who think themselves.
warranted in indulging in indecent exultation,.:.ar
the result bf this trial, would Aot have hesitated to
arraign the decision, if that result had been- un-
favourable to the defendant; thus arrogating to

themselves the right of re-trying the cause, and of
raiifying by their approbation, or stigmatising by

.heir censure, the decision of a Court of Justice.

If ever the proceedings.of our Courts shoilld be
governed either by the diaates of the' Executive
Power, or by the clamours of a fa ion, from that
moment no man's person or plOperty will ,be safe.
The decisions of tribunals ought to be submitted to
With that deference which At ises from conscious-
,
ness.that they procced.from a pule source, ,and they
.ought no more to be made the snbjea of noisy
tiiutnph, tly.tn of unfounded and. indecent censure.;-
. .The Mitlin Evening pf,si contains the following
article, upon which we forbear, at present', 'to ntake
any comments :

The interview between BuoNsPastrra and JOEL
BARLOW must have been somewhat aWkWard TO
both parties, as the latteris one of the most deter-
mined order of Rupublicans, and, has often denomi-
nated BUONAPAIITU " the greatest Putoer of. Li,
lthrty that ever etistea."' . The,-French. Ruler must
be' well aware of the charatier of the Arne. iron
AmbaSsador, from his nujlOrin cooduel, and the
principles which he has .maintained in his political
,works, and therefore cannot hu' look on hitio
abhorrence. How far JOEL BAaLOI.II will be
to disguise his feelings it is imp )ssi.ble.. to 1cll)

rietice a milder 'treatment, nartieularlir, as the
Usurper is known to

utmost contempt, and would, no doubt, openly de!:
clam his feelings towards their, if he did not want.
to render them instrumental in his desire of injur-tog„
Great Britain.

water, they were got nuclet willicat doing any very
considerable injury.
