•be sc• trine; of a thunder cloud, and an awful pause
ensued, that which precedes a Corns. One fierce
an I &nighty has slaw broken through the dark-
ness—hies !!!:.‘so has passed in lightning before
to, and a;I is again silence and obscurity. In sich
a state it wit:ill be premature and indecent to at-
tempt to investigate a question, of Which the hire
result is move before as. The veil is still bound
r..und our temples, and our efforts to elucidate, like
the vain strut;; .es of the blind, would only serve
1., mislead the blind. We shall not therefore imitate
th., example of those Journals, which have already
made the vordiet of the Jury the theme of unquali-
fied pan:lyric and unbounded exultation. Stich eon-
dtp.t, we cotte..ive to be more carulated to influence the
minds of jurors on the subsequent trials, than the pub-
lication of the evidence adduced on the first.—
L'e shall, therefore. confine our remarks within a very
narrow sphere : that, whilst in one instance we obey
the injuartion of the lk.urt, we may not elude it in
another. High Treason, we admit, has been proved
to exist, and since the breaking tint of the Cato-street
eonspiracy and the rLings in the North, we have never
doubted the Let. Put we see no ground for rejoicing,
because use of the rreateit crimes which disgrace the
character and endanger the veer and institutions of a
oountry. has been ft.und naturalised and practised on our
6 ery is a painfuloue, anti should certainly
cic;te more teglct than exultation. What matter fur
triumph is there in the humiliating certainty that
traitors ant; assas.rlns have plotted, and perhaps still
walk loth in the amidst of us? Why should tee turn
oar disgrace in;o a boast, and with nefilill hands
raise the mantle which conceals the deformities
anti iniquities of our country ? We do not stand
so high in the opinion and affections of the
world, that we should assist oar foreign detractors in
the odious task of lowering and destroying our own
character. Nu ; let us unite in detesting and phnish-
big treason, but let us nut show the lamentable spec-
tacle of party spirit, exulting in the very blackness of
the crimes which have su:led our land, because it
Dray increase its means of acquiring or retaining
power !

there was yesterday held a full meeting of the Mi-
aistrrs at the house of the Earl of Liverpool, and, sc-
rolling to report, on a very isteresting subject.
Mr. Hamilton, one of his Majesty's Under Secrets-
ri s of Stat • for the Foreign Department, left town on
Saturday last fur Bareges, as alleged ea account of ill
health, but, as surmised, on some mission of import-
&ace, especially as the place is so near the frontiers of
Spain, and as no perms, from abilides,experieste, and
integrity, is more worthy of the confidence of Govern-
meet than this Gentleman.
