the fear, that some enc oachment upon

consequence of this alarm has been, that
those of the nobility who felt it, have sue
ceeded in rendering theyiews of the SO

have conceived an antipathy to it. Ger
tain it is, that Professor Schmalz, y a man
OF some erudition, but without much mind

secret associations, directed chiefly "a

honorably distinguished by being very DIFF
