It was the opinion of Lord Kenyon. who tiled
the prisoner, " That if a person assaulted Ws

11110I4DA ft mtentea, sionmists 15,
We ere glad to hear that se many Gentlemen,
hitherto denominated kadiag Whigs, feel the nem•
sky of entering with spirit into the enquiry of the
condition of the country. They most be sensible that
the Govern meet cannot go on mach longer ender its
present system. IM it mot be foetid that tiny of the
above description of parsons are torpid from timidity.
We do net, by this trawls, mean it should he under-
stand that they lick personal corsage upon any call
which might be (silly made on theei by their country
in danger. No: we cosid readily hest the suord
of defence in their bends against any foreign
Invader, aid feel safe in their intrepidity; hut
there is an irresolution Octet men of stealth
which is most certainly Wow, into them by a• ap-
prehension of being deprived of it, thrnegh the cootie
of events. In this Instance we may fairly "Am that

have been mainly tweeted of looking one way olds,

Busse's political life. Ileseeceeded in his abject; but
it is ardently hoped that no designing pnlitician

line of Conduct. It never vies Mr. BUIIIICe* with to
