The sews from the continent is by no means decisive.
We should suppose, that no actual march will take
place. until it be precisely ascertained what the
ULEMA think of the matter, or, at least. what it
eau do. If the bad a great deal of money
to spare ; if this band ; if this corrupt crew ; if the
herd, whose deeds are as cotorinta as the sea et nooe

the .I.lure Mg Chronicle be correct, have their corrupt
and rotten finger in every pr.; meddle with church as
well as state; have their paw upon the army, the navy.

paper money to hire cut-throats with; then, indeed,
we should, with the Moraiag Chronicle, he In expec-

hear, destitute of mosey ; being poor; being t set of
beggars as to means; not knowing which way to tuts
on account of their distresses; and being the greatest
and most beastly fools as well as all the rest, and
being wow so completely despised as well as detested.
seeing that all the people view them in the trim light,
this being the case (sad particularly this band being
beggared) we are of opinion, that the chances are in
favour of peace; for, those whose calling It is to cut
throats, must be paid fur what they do ; and, Indeed,
gentlemen of this profession, like those of the Nag-
rube. must always be paid before hi Id. Pleading and
cutting throats is compensated in the shape of fee.—
Therefore. the Ulema being in a most beggared state,
ll and unable to employ cut throats, we think it likely
that peace may be preserved without. however. the
smallest degree of credit being due to the Wenn on
this account.

In our paper of yesterday, we inserted an account of
the trial and acquittal, of the active agents of the
Itridge.street prosecuting Society. We should like to
know precisely who it was that adeisedthis prosecution.l
If these persons were punishable as conspirators; if
the indictment against them were any thing more than

a heap of rigmarole, then, .as we said from the very
outset, there are not less than about ten thousand per
at all times liable to be.invlietcd in.Ett,;lansi itst asj
conspiracy. Every Society. that is firmed in the
country, for what is celled the preservation of property ;
Society formed for the preservation of what it
has the impudence to call morality and religion ; every
one of these little Governments wi•hin the Government;
and of which there are great plenty in America as well
as here, may he indicted for a conspiracy. That they
wrght to be indicted fur conspiracy; that the law
or; ht to set its face against them is very true ; hnt that
which is sauce for the gnose is sauce for the
gander ; and if it be laudable to subscribe
for the prosecution of Mr. DENNIS O'BRIEN;
to subscribe expressly fur this purpose; and, mind.,
to prosecute him, too, for seditious libels, reading to ,
expose Lis Majesty, and his Mi.isters, to hatred end'
contempt ; if one set of persons can laudably subscribe
for this purpose; if there be those who sontend
this to be right in one case, can these same per:lose
deny It to be right is every other case? We condemn
all societies and subscriptions of the kind. We think
them all to be combinations that the law never
tended; we think them the fruit of corruption or fame.
