FOREGONE CONCLUSIONS.

The Edinburgh Review of October 1615, in eu-
logizing CARNOT, proffers a most portentous ob-
servation.

After a faint disavowal of inferences which
might very well have been made, of its desire of
a new revolution in France, the Review proceeds
thus :—" If the Crown, indeed, could be brought
to the Duke of ORLZANS, without a struggle or
an insurrection, we have no ltesita►ion in saying,
that we think France would have a hetter chance
for freedom, and for tranquillity, than tinder the
present Monarch and his heirs ; and we should

consider it as i very fotturvite aril happy event
tar her and for the world, if either by the tiittiral
coortze of mortality, or by any volonttry ittrange-
ntent in the flintily, that Prince should now be en-
&Wed to ascend the Throne, without competition
or resistance from any quarter. Beyond this,
however, our revolutionary spirit proceeds not:'

Really, 1 cannot imagitte how much hillier the
most liberal tevointionist would have it proceed.
But 1 extrset the parigriph to shew how fixedly
a thormigh revolutionary ICltlpet fastens on the
`son of Pit (LIPPE Et 2 tLITE, and desires for him the
reward mid the object of his father's crimes. That
his elevation to the Il.rofie ‘vottill be sufficiently
gritfitd to the Jacobins, none can question ; and
the efttipction—a delicite term this, is it not
-of the ofify descent of the lineal Bourbons is abort-

thinly frrtrie of filar gratiticAtion. It has not, to
be sure, happened—as the liberal lteriewer ,lle,-
gesYs it—" in the natural coarse of mortality ;".
and I %conk! not for the world ascribe it to " any
voluntary arrangement io the family." I
raise,

however, my voice against " any" revolutionary
profits arising from the assassination of the Due
de ilraat. It was effected by one rebel ; and,
therefore, it ought not to bring advantage to the
chid of another. Let the French Crown come
tynn the head of the Doke D'OaLuaws, and one
of the " at•rancternents— of the Rtvolutiott is here-
tas.'y accomplished. Ttte Edinburgh- Reviewer
understand the term.

I have often said, that Revolution was the crime
of France. But eounter-revolution ltas not been
snide, as it tni4ltt have been made, her punish-
ment. The onti,ion, or the forbearance, or the
caution, or the ittability—l care not which you
call it—has descended upon the BoulaisoNs then -
selves in a bloody lesson. Eidd it liven only a
warning, I should little have regarded the deep-
ness of its crimson. But it has conic tOG tardily
for that purpose—it has tinchilded their liueal
Crown. Stilt worse,—, has °petted the collateral

succession into an " arrangement" revolutionary
ettoug,ll to secure to ttte Revolution not only the
impunity of crime hut die possession of reward.

What measure, the European Alliance ntly
adopt upon this " arrangement" are not yet pro-
tnnlgated. Yet awhile, not any teem to he acted
upon, nor even stirred. If the lapse of a few
years shalt be accelerated by the farther " family
" arrangement" of removing,—another delicate
term,—the King, and his Brother, and yet ittrviv-
ing Nephew, I (cost that the Powers which con-
quered the trangnillity of France win take to
some little " arrangement" for thetwelves, and
provide against any possible descent of the French
Crown, which shall hold out a bribe to rebellion,
and a profi.:able example to its inheritors.

I can task myself to endure almost the worst of
absurdities, and the most unjust of contradictions.
A revolutionary soldier, who obtained his titles
by keep►iiig his legitimate Sovereign out of France,
msy cry about the bed of that Sovereign's Mur-
dered nephew; the executioners of that Sove-
reign's brother may be pardoned ; the deaths.men
cf his cousin may receive equal immunity ; the
eats; supporters of his Crown may be rewarded
with confiscation. E can bear this, and more
than this ; but cannot beer to see that Crown
divcrging ',ctta the crooked line which was cut
and dug for it by r•egiicidal hands.

" Thank God," saii the Due D'ENGREEN,
while preparing for his martyrdom—" thank
" God, 1 ant not to fail by the hands of French-
" men !"—yet, were they not Frenchmen who
assisted at that revoltitionary critne ?—" At 1"

FREE AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS

OF GREAT 8R1T.,41.V.

GittaTLRMIIN—As the time is near at hand
which is to renew the exercise of one of the
greatest constitutional powers of the People, and
you ate, of course, anxious to make such a choice
of Representatives as shall secure to you the full
and unrestrained possession of your rights and pri-
vileges, you will, I am sure, excuse my remind-
ing you of the sacred importance of your present
powers, as they affect the dignity of the Throne,
the welfate of the Elective Body, and the honour,
safety, and financial prosperity of the Nation.
Of your own interesta, as tha intermediate
body by which a familiar intercourse is to be
maintained between the Sovereign and his People,
you are, of course, tire Lacs( judges, when fairly
left to the exercise of your own reason, but you
hardly reqoire to be told that the flatteries, and
cajeleries, ,nd nicks of an Election are frequently
played off with effect against the more sober dic-
tates of prndruce. This truth should make you
very cautious in your selections, and render you
doubly iealous of that great privilege, the honest
and predstoial exercise of which will tend to
your oe fl credit and comfort, and to the liberty of
the generetiou which must succeed you. Ido
not fear that any other sort of corruption than
that of the mind wid be tiled, or if tried, be at-
t:olded with success, for few Electors are so in-
sensible of their humour as to be induced to bar-
ter their votes against the gold of a Candidate ;
but whilst you resist this sort of temptation,
which is as disgraceful to the offerer as to the
matt to whom it is offered, take care that you are
not frightened out of your honesty by the clamour
of mobs, or cheated out of it by the specious
professions of popular Candidates for your favours.
In the approaching Election you will have to de-'
cide upon the claim, of three parties—the Tories,
tine Whigs, and the Reformers.—Now it is a sad
thing that in a free Country, where every Mall
Wight to have but one object in view, there should
he more than one Party; but since the evil exists
you will do well to adopt the course of those Can-
didates who, whatever may be their rallying trim,
have sheven, or are likely to shew, their attachment
to the Constitution in Church and State, as by law
established, and their aveisiee to the demoralizing
principles which had nearly overthrown your
rights and liberties, and brought into derision the
sacred ‘Vord of God, which is our best consola-
tion in this world, under the various ills by which
we are visited, and our only hope of happiness
hereafter. Of the Tories I shall only say, that if
they have sonnet ones run into the extreme of
party, that extreme has always been on the right
ride of public feeling ; and that if they have,
whilst ie power, introduced any restraint upon
popular privileges, they did so upon the well-
fotteded conviction that such restraint was the
surest and indeed the only way to prevent your
total loss of liberty, from the levelling doe-
trines o: a turbulent and unreasonable multitude.
They had the experience of the French Revolu-
tion, and existing facts full before them, and the
character of the agitators who have been appre-
hended must have convinced you, that without
such restraints you had nothing to look forward
to but tine destruction of the property which your
own industry, or the industry of your forefathers,
has procured for you ; and the murder of every
member of your families who would refuse to
abjure his allegiance to his King, arid his hopes
hi the mercy of his Creator. There was no choice
between a temporary &Abridgment of popular rights,
and a licensed encouragement of revolt and blas-
phemy. The result has shewn you, that this re-
straint has never been accompanied wi'h a single
instance of ctuelty, a single abuse of the power
which you, by your Representatives, reposed in
the honour of the Ministry. It is hardly neces-
sary, perhaps, to remind you, that the principles
of this Party, boldly persevered in against the cla-
mour of one Parry, and the pretended economy of
another, brought you fairly and telly (111'0440 one
of the most arduous contests in which your coun-
try was ever involved. You saw all Europe, with
the exception of this Island, at the feet of a despotic
Conqueror. The most sanguine man could hardly
anticipate a successful issue, and yet, by adopting
the plans of a bold and virtuous Miuister, and
acting upon the constitutional firmness of that
pions Monarch, for whom all Britain is now sin.
cerely mourning, we are not only brought safely
through a sea of troubles, but Europe has been
forced to acknowledge the dignity of our virtue
and the unshrinking temper of our courage. Both
the Monarch and the Minister have paid the debt
of nature, and neither saw the fruition of their
virtue: but you justly admire that virtue and pay that
tribute to the tomb,which was so strangely denied by
many to their living hours, when the approbation
of a people should have cheered the arduous task
which they had undertaken. It is not exactly
fair to advert to this subject so reproachfully, but
it may serve to teach you the folly of listening at
all times to the ebullition of popular feeling,
which may be so much perverted by party machi-
nations as to deserve any thing but approbatioe.
The principles of Wteetes PITT are before you
in the conduct of the Tories. They want little
comment, because you have tried them in times
the most difficult and dreadful, and the trial has
been attended with the preservatioe of your lives
and properties against a foreign coalition, and an
intestine faction of the Whigs. I Would speak as
mildly as possible, hut MI we conceal front (Mr-
selves the conviction of their unsoundness ? If
they had not temporized with this faction and
basely sought to make them and their complaints
the stepping stone to power, woeld they have
dared to arm against God and Ili& Sovereign,
and plunged their murderous heeds in the blood
of their Countrymen I If the Whigs had marked
wish the broadest expression of indignant patrio-
tism the conduct of the liefoi [nets, could they
have risen to importance ? Would they not have
been hoottd at and pet down by every man who
has sense enough to know that his own security
depends on the preservation of the laws, and that
out beet liberty consists not so touch in what we

" The Count Germain thought that the remedy
for the evil shoal i`be sought in a more severs law
against the abuses of the Press ; be proposed, in
the mean time, to grant a provisional suspension
till the end of the present. Session.
" The Duke de Broglie thought the evil arose
less from the insufficiency of the law than negli-

enactments of the present ; but lie thought all
provisional measures useless and dangerous.

" The Duke de Levis was of a similar opinion.

Extract of a Letter from Trinidad, dated Rec. 19.

BOLIVAR, with the who!e of t-he united tut cgs,
were preparing to take up their line of march on th.
coast, the only portion of Venezuela or New Gre'
.cads that is yet in the possession of the Spaniards'
Carracas de Leon will be occupied during thepre'
sent month, and 111ouiLLo will be compelled c°
quit Valencia by the commencement of JanuarYl
and become reduced to the fortifications of p„r►°
Cavello, which, with a few vessels of war, will be
obliged to surrender.

The Proclamation which we stated yesterday
would be announced in the course of the day, c°
announce the Dissolution of Parliament, appears
in the Gazelle of last night, and is copied in out
Paper this day. We expressed our hopes that a
Parliament which had done so much for 01°
country, in passing those laws which were easel"
tially demanded for the preservation of the Coo-
stitution, would rather have had its existence pro'
longed than be so soon extinguished. But our
Rulers have thought otherwise, and, reposing °9
that judgment which has operated so beneficially
in rescuing the Country from Rebellion and
Atheism, we doubt not that they have sufficient
reasons for submitting to the People the choico
of their Representatives at this critical period'
All now, as we have before observed, deperyi.
on the People themselves. Let them reflect on
the conduct of their late Representatives, god
clime those who have ev►dently :hewn a Er"
zeal of patriotism, as well as a steady attachment
to the safety anti honour of the Crown, not those
who merely aspired to power, and who were weak
enough not to see any danger from Radi'
cal turpitude and rebellious outrage, or ye"
pretended to see none, in order to give a
colour to their factious spleen and venal
ambition. Such men, if public spirit
the predominant feature in the National character,
will be rejected with contempt, and none chosen
but those who by their independence are placed
above temptation, and whose integrity would ill'
duce them to spurn it with indignation. We shall'
for the present, suspend our remarks, referring
the Letter from an intelligent Correspondent to
our Paper of this day.

TM= QUEEN.—We have inserted to-day a Letter
from a respectable Correspondent, in reference t°
the Consort of his MAJESTY, though we entireli
differ with him in the view which he has taken of
her situation anti pretensions, in order to manifest
our impartiality, and to chew that we are open set
conviction. We see that yesterday the same sub'
ject was brought forward at the Southwark Meet'
ing, where the loyal intention of that :Meeting wsa
for the express purpose of proposing an Address
of Condolence on the death of our late revetel
Monarch, and of Congratulation to his MAJes“
on his accession to that Throae, to which he bad
given new splendour by his wise anil dignified
conduct in the exercise of a delegated Sovereignty.
A Mr. Citt-ues, it appears, not satisfied with o'3
loyal and simple object of the Meeting, endee
voured to perplex the course of affairs, by
requesting to know why the Queest should
not be blended with the Address to him Ml':
JESTY, observing, that " till it was proved
that she had disgraced the British Throne'
he would maintain that her name ought tc:
go in the Address jointly with the KlNG'''

The opinion of any individual, of much greater
impoitance than this same Mr. GtLuEs, should
weigh little against the dignity of the Throve'
the happiness of the Monarch, and the tranVil'
city of the State. It is notorious that very socere
allegations have been brought against the Roy,,

innocence fully ascertained. We do not give en
easy 'credit to the charges against her MAJESTY,
Bich have been an widely disseminated and so
confidently asserted, but as " CiEsAß's wife ought
hot to be sus'peCted," surely the Consort of a
Throne, in these enlightened, and wt trust more
virtuous times, ought not to enjoy the proper
honours of her elevated station while doubt hangs
over her character, whether uttered by the breath
of calumny or founded on the evidence of truth.
Our duty to a Sovereign, who, as we have said,
Was already rendered such benefit to the Country,
by the judicious errirgy which marked his &le-
g:tted Government of the State, as to hold forth
the most auspicious promises of a happy reign,
entitles him to domestic happiness, and what
happiness could he be expected to enjoy if clogged
by an unworthy Partner in a full participation of
the honours of Sovereignty ? No—justice, duty,
'decency, common sense, must demand a full refu-
tation of what we sincerely hope will prove to be
the wanton tUsions of malevolence, revenge, and
other baleful sources, before she is suffered
to enjoy that Throne, the nusullied purity of which
co! late revered QUEEN maintained through the
Whole progress of her life, and which no females
Were suffered to approach whose character and con-
duct bad suffered under the faintest breath of un-
refuted slander. We shall resume this subject as

often as occasion may require, but our columns
shall be always open to candour, or whatever
laity tend to defeat the efforts of falsehood, and
disperse the clouds that may have gathered over
the bead of calumniated Vitt(ie.

We are sorry to learn, from the best authori•y,
that several pat ts of Ireland are in an exceedingly
ilisturbed state. The LORD MAyoR of Dublin,
Whose arrival in town yesterday we have noticed
ip anorher part of our Paper, is a staunch
Loyalist, and. firmly attached to the Protestant
Iteligion. Though coming for the purpose
of presenting an Address to his MAJESTY,
be is doubtless possessed of such 'information
respecting the true condition of Ireland, and
the causes and nature of its present commo-
t"is as Ministers may deem important, and
therefore, it may be confidently expected that
"ley will avail ihemselves of an opportunity of
"rnmunicating with so intelligent and so respec-
table a character as this Gentleman.

TUE SUN.

THE QUEEN.

MR. EDlTOR—Although I have no great objec-
tion to the questions lately asked in the House of
Commons, respecting this High Personage, I
cannot forbear saying, that to me they appeared
injudicious and premature. They anticipated the
light of guilt, whore suspicion scarcely glimmered,
and looked for innocence with an eve glancing on
imaginary turpitude, suggested only by that mis-
chievous monster RUMOUR, which never yet ut-
tered truth, except by accident. A Right Ho-
nourable Member has, notwithstanding, made it
the foundation on which he supports his opposi-
tion to a vote of any provision for the QUERN,
while its hollow trump sounded corrupt reflections
on her amiable character. This is highly impro-
per, as tht vote itself flashes conviction that her
conduct is unblemished. It cannot be supposed,
without a breach of all decency, that Ministers
would have submitted it to Parliament for a❑ un-
worthy personage. It implies the direct contrary,
and that the blasts of unwarrantable obloquy are
no more than an unsavory fume. Her morality
has_been scrutinized, under a Commission of En-
(pity, and found to be honourably pure, to the
eternal shame of her interested accusers. Why,
therefore, scrutinize it again by that detested ac-
cuser Rumorn, that pipe, blown by surmises,
jealousies, and conjectures ) Why encourage
RUMOUR, on whose tongues continual slander
rides, the which in every language stuffs !he ears
with falsehoods ? Better would it be to whisper
peace unto those who are defamed, and to heal
the broken in spirit.

I am your friend,

THE FL fHER OF CANDOUR.

GENERAL ELECTION.

The contest at Denbigh will prove a severe one,
as it includes family as well as political opposi-
tion. Election squibs are already flying about,
some of them of the most pointed description.
Mr. Stewart Majorihinks, son of the East In-
dia Chairman, has declared himself a Candidate
for Hythe.

A requisition has been sent to John Smith
I3arry, Esq. requesting him to offer himself for
Preston.

Wigan will be strongly contested; an active
canvass is now carrying on.

General Burton oilers himself for Beverley in a
long ,Iddress to the Electors, headed " Liberty
end I,,ilependenee."
We i►r.nr, that in case of a contest for the re-
presenta, inn of the University of Cambridge, Mr.
Robert GrHnt, late M. P for Banff, Hod brother
to the Right Hon. Charles Grant, means to offer
himself AS a Candidate.

John Wells, E.g. of Bickley, has withdrawn
himself as a Candidate for the Representation of
Maidstone, in consequence of A PLIIDGIS being re-
quired of hint that he would vote against CATLIO•
LIC EMANCIPATION.

COUNTY DUBLIN.---A fourth Candidate is up
for the County Dublin, luis name has not yet
been made public.

Coat..—Mr. Gerrard Callaghan, the present
Member (or Dundalk, is a Candidate for the City
of Cork, of which he is a native.

COUNTY SLlGO.—Abraham Boyde, Esq. intends
to offer himself for the County of Sligo.
Buttouct; or MALLow.—The representation of
this place will be disputed.
COUNTY OF KBRtty'.—No third Candidate has
yet avowed himself for this extensive County;
but a young Gentleman of high pretensions, Mr.
Bleunerhasset, is spoken of as a competitor with
the present Members.

COUNTY OF CLARE.—There will not, probably,
be any contest fur this wealthy and populous
County.

COUNTY op GALWAY.—Rumour very strosgly
favours the expectation of a contest in this County.

SIIIP NEWS.

THR THEATA.----Atter the Opera of Guy Man-
, tiering, at. Drury-Noe Theatre last night, was
performed the ple.asing little Piece of The
Quaker, one of the dramatic productions of
the late Mr. DitibiN, vi.hose innumerable
loyal effusions were highly litwourable to
himself, and no doubt eminently beneficial to
his country, in diffusing, in popular and im-
pressive linguage, the true spirit of liberty and
attachment to the Throne. On this occasion,
the old public favourite, INCLEDON, came forward
in the character of Steady. He was received, on
his entrance so warmly, and sung with so
much force, as not only to justify the Manager in
engaging him, but to excite more 111R11 surprise
that he should so long have been absent from the
London stage. Having touched upon the memory
of the late Mr. DIaDIN. it is but justice to Govern-
ment to state that j tovision has been made for the
support of his widow and daughter. Such pro-
vision is, indeed, a national debt, and we hope it
is tinflicient to render comfortable the relict of so
loyal and so admired a character.

The above Cut will afford our readers a correct
idea of the daggers that were to have been used
by the assassins, though they are by no means so
well finished as the Cut represents them.
A is a dagger, made out of a bayonet, and may
be used singly or placed at the top of a pike. Eis
a dagger with a hole in the middle of it to receive
the dagger A ; when screwed on, as our Readers
will see it (BB), it forms three daggers, which
may be used in front and right and left. They
are drawn in the wood-cut, as intended to be
used in a room or a crowd, where the assassins
and their victims are close together.

*** ‘Ve have availed ourselves of the kindness
of a liberal Competitor to present the foregoing
representation of the horrible Instrument found
among the gang of Conspirators, whose diaboli-
cal designs have been so happily frustrated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OP CHANCERY, MARCH 1.

JUDGMENT.

in the Matter of DEAN a Minor, and STABLES.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, on entering the
Court, proceeded to give his judgment in this im-
portattt case. He said, he had taken time to con-
sider the case, and had no doubt but Mrs. Dean,
Ballard, the footman, and the woman servant,
had been guilty of a contetmpt• of that Court, and
s hat proceedings would be Wren on that conclu-
sion would be a matter for future consideration.
The Court could not, however, avoid looking at
the circutnstanws •f the family of Mr. Dean
permitting a young man of fortune, and at Col-
lege too, to remain the whole of his life, us it
were, unprotected, and only when he was on the
verge of manhood that they sought the protection
which the Court always afforded to persons in
his situation. He could not bring himself to say'
that Mr. and Mrs. Stables were privy to the
elopement of the 14th of December.
The Court was crowded to excess, it being un-
derstood that most of the parties were present.

SURREY SESSIONS.
This morning these Sessions were resumed
before THOMAS HARRISSON, Esq. Chairman, and a
full Bench of Magistrates. On the Grand Jury
being sworn, they were addressed by the Chair-
man as follows :

GENTLEMEN,—In ordinary times, and under any other cir-
cumstances, I should content myself in the few words it will
be my duty to address to you, with lamenting the increase of
crime so apparent by the Calendar; but when I see such de-
testable means resorted to fur the perpetration of deeds
which are too notorious, as being too horrible almost to be
adverted to I should, therefore, be wanting in the dis-
charge of my duty if I did nut point out the cause. I have then
no hesitation in saying, that the whole is attributable to the
unrestrained circulation of Blasphemous and Seditious Pub-
lications, such as have come under the notice of the Court
through other Grand Jurors. Asa proof of this, time is now
a Printer in the Borough, that stands in the situation of
being called on whenever the Court thinks proper, for pub-
lishing the Second Part of the " Age of Reason," written by
Thomas Paine, whose malignity towards Religion and good
order was equalled only by 'the absurdity of his reasoning.
With the horrible' transactions that now agitate the Nletro-
polis, you nor I have nothing'to do, except as good subjects
to support the peace and morals of society to the utmost of our
power ; but with respect to the Blasphemous and Seditious
publications 1 have alluded to, it will be the duty of all good

en to suppress to the, utmost of their power. lam not
aware that any thing of the sort will conic under your consi-
deration ; but should it be so, you will discharge your duty
to your Ged, your Country, and yourselves, by presenting
them to the notice of the Court.
The Grand Jury then withdrew, and the tra-
verse paper was-proceeded in.
