late Bishop Porteus, who bestowed on him

the death of Bishop Porteus, he found

tainly pleaded the cause of that society

case of Wilmot and Want, to which he 
presided, yet it was the error:of the head, 
and not ef the heart; and, if he has since 
been Jess operative than he ought to havé 
been in correcting an erroncous decision, 
the oppression of ill-health must, perhaps, 
be his apology. If this paragraph meet 
the eye of the sceretary-of-state, we hope 
he will eonsider it his duty to enquire into 
the circumstances, for, in this extraordinary 
case, great individual wropgs yet remain 
to be redressed.

retired into Derbyshire; but, being im-

quired the French aud English lIan- 
guages from his infancy, and spoke and 
wrote both with equal facility. He was 
educated at Oxford, where he obtaincd 
the degree of B.A. He afterwards had a 
commission in the Oxford blues, and 
eloped with the beautifal Mrs. Sandon, 
whose husband, during the pursuit, was 
fired at, as was supposed, by the eonnt, 
but which he always declared was the act 
of the wife. A flaw in the indietment 
saved hint from convietion at the Old 
Bailey, but his consequent involvements 
obliged him to go to France, then in the 
hey-day cf its revolution. Espousing the 
popular eanse, he soon acquired the eonfi- 
dence of its leaders. In conjunction with 
Danton, whom he always called the god- 
like, he established the Club of the Corde- 
liers, in opposition to that of the Jacobins, 
of which Robespierre was the leader. In 
1792, being mayor of the Arrondissement 
in which the prison of the ‘Temple was 
situated, he was selected as the superin- 
tendant of the king and queen, a duty 
which he performed with satisfaetion to bis 
party, while he did every thing in his 
power to diminish the sufferings of the 
captives, and abtained their thanks and 
gratitude. His oppertunities enabled him 
to appreciate their trne characters, aad he

mind aud extensive erudition, but ef the 
most filthy habits, particularly at his
