highly calculated to rouse the polish spirit to the utmost stretch ol excitement and although their capital has been sacrificcd moscow was under similar circum stances we arc far from the supposition that the ardor of independence has been thereby crushed or that their struggles have entirely ceased pans has with its usual inconsistency again recovered from the prostration of feeling lhat lately

probable success in the house of lords this pamphlet is entitled what xoilt the lords do v a curious question certainly and most ably met want of space prevents us from affording our readers extracts from this work it is one however calculated in the highest degree to create an excitement in the lords lhat would render their decision in the adoption of the measure beyond a moments doubt or hesitation the next arrival will relieve the public from the suspense that the 3d of october has occasi oned and we regard the intelligence as replete with the most nervous interest and the most un

guardian advocate and other worthies who have been made to wince under llm writers merciless flagellations have ascribed the production atone time to a gentleman hiifh in office in this town and at

think but wc could speculate pursue a course at variance with his own delibe- rste and mature opinions the sentiments o that eminent and highly gifted patriot the im mortal burke on all matters of public policy arc entitled to our deepest reverence and are i may say decisive on this particular question in a speech addressed to the electors of bristol in the year 144 when he was most honourably returned to parliament without previous solici tation on his part he honestly and manfully de clared his sentiments with regard to his duties as a british senator in the following eloquent terms i am

such discussion cannot possibly benefit ci ther side and should in decency be avoided while the matteris under investigation in another quarter villilicatjon of character cannot de cide a matter which it appears depends chiefly upon documentary testimony if mr burgcs has copied the journals of the office of course the originals are to be seen and it strikes us lhat if any misapplication of money occurred these documents would speak for themselves in an authentic form books open to evcrv person in that office could contain no secret but we must repeat that unjustifiable liberties have been indulged in by the pressand it is impossible for i cmhch ne m pmndang the character or motives of any man he tells you that the topick ofinstrictions ha occasioned much altercation and ineasi- ness in

much importance at this crisis the opinions of the illustrious burke were the oracles of his day- and have since been perpetuated as the solar stir of popular measures we shall ahvavs feel grateful to

opinion which a representative ought always to rejoice to hear and which he ought always most seriously to consider but authoritative in structions mandates issued which the member is bound blindly and implicitly to obey to vote and to argue for though contrary to tho clearest conviction of his judgment and conscience these are things utterly unknown to the laws of this land and which arise from a fundamental mis take of the whole order and tenour of our con stitution parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests which inter- estseach must maintain as an agent and advo cate against other agents and advocates but parliament is a deliberative assembly of one na tion with one interest that of the whole where not local purposes not local prejudices ought to guide but the general good resulting from the general reason of the whole you chose a mem ber indeed but when you have chosen him he is nota member of bristol but a member of par liament if the
