lf a Member of Parliament, who also truly affirmed, that the letters which were sent to Boston, had never been in the executor's hands. Again the Press declared, what was also true, that Whately, the executor, had submitted files of his brother's letters to Temple's examination, who, it was insinuated, had seized the opportunity to purloin them. Temple repelled the charge instantly and successfully. J. Temple to the Public Advertiser, 8 Dec. 1773; and for further reiterated denials, see Almon's Biog. Anec. 238,243, 245, 246, 249, 250, 251. 252. If he had gone for letters to perfect files, he might have found very much better ones for his purpose. Whately, the executor, never made a suggestion that the letters had been taken away by Temple, and always believed the contrary; Hutchinson's History, III. 416, and 418. but swayed not so much by the solicitations of Hutchinson and Mauduit, as by his sudden appointment as a banker to the Treasury, he published an evasive card, in whi

to take the guidance of the House out of the hands of the faltering Minister. What passed in Boston, said he, is the last overt act of High Treason, proceeding from our over lenity and want of foresight. It is, however, the luckiest event that could befall this country, for all may now be recovered. Compensation to the East India Company I regard as no object of the Bill.

continuance of the war. Richard Jackson to Wm. S. Johnson, 30 Nov., 1784, Ms. Carlisle, the first commissioner, had in the house of lords spoken with warmth upon the insolence of the rebels for refusing to treat with the Howes, and had stigmatized the people of America as base and unnatural children of England. The second commissioner was an under-secretary, whose chief, a few weeks before, in the same assembly, had scoffed at congress as a body of vagrants. Suffolk, 11 Dec., 1777, in Almon, x. 119; Burke, III. 372. The third was Johnstone, who had lately in parliament justified the Americans and charged the king with hypocrisy. There never was any expectation on the part of the ministry that the commission would be successful, or it would have been differently constituted. In the certainty that it would not be received, Germain had given orders for the prosecution of the war, and on a different plan, Most secret instructions of Lord George Germain to Sir H.

Inviting the friends of Grenville to the support of the administration, he declared his unchanging resolution to carry on the war against America, France, and Spain. Before he would hear of any man's readiness to come into office, he would expect to see it signed under his hand, that he was resolved to keep the empi

Court decided that a new trial should be granted. When it came on, the Attorney General observed to the Chief Justice that he had not the original newspaper by which he could prove the publication.--Lord Mansfield briefly replied, "that is not my fault, Mr. Attorney," and thus terminated the trial. It appears that the foreman of the jury, on the first trial, had put the paper into his pocket, and had afterwards destroyed it.--The trial cost Woodfall, from first to last about £120, ($600.) Almon, who was also prosecuted, says it cost him £400; a statement altogether improbable, since he only sold a magazine, which he did not print, having the obnoxious letter in it. This charge of Lord Mansfield to the jury produced a profound sensation throughout the kingdom. The nation believed its liberties threatened by the Court of King's Bench, and because thoroughly alarmed. The press took it up, and Junius, under his own signature, and under others, and various other anonymous writers, app

sts of the sea and of the great Lakes, which separate the United States from the English possessions. Two English journals of incontestable influence, the London Times, which represents English interests generally, and the London Post, the official journal of Lord Palmerston, the head of the Cabinet, have just replied to the ill concealed thought of Mr. Seward, by pacific protestations, which to say the least, are but little contented, with the formidable military preparations which prudent Almon has been making in Ametic, with her reinforcements sent to Canada, with the presence of a British fleet manned by 6,000 men and carrying 560 guns, in American waters. It is curious, nevertheless, to contrast the submissive tone in which the Times and Post were expressing themselves at the the very moment when the Federal Government was overhauling an English mail steamer at sea, and employing force to take from it four passengers who vainly thought that the English flag was a sufficient pro
