The humane, and honorable major was equal
ly a prophet with his compeer. The plaintiff
on the next day took leave of his prison, as he
supposed for the lad time, and Was sent under
a guard to Kilkenny, then the head quarters
of sir Chari $ Afgil, there to be tried by court
irtarrial for such crime, as might chance to b~
alledged ag.bnft him. la any other country
the feene that took place on that occasion
might excite no little horror, &aftonilh:ncnt s
but with us, these fenfarions ate become ex
tinguished by frequency of repetition. lam
inftru&ed, that a proclamation was f nt forth,
offering a reward to any m in, who would come
forward, and give any evidence against the
traitor Hevey. An unhappy wretch who had
been shortly before tondenned to uie, anti
was then lying ready for execution, was ifured
by the* propofil. Ihj integrity Was not firm
enough tohefitate long, between thealurou-j
tive proposed ; pardon, Lvor, and reward, j
with peq* ry on one fide, the iope and the gib
bet on the other. II s lovaity decided the
question against his own foul. He Wub ex
amined, and Hevey was appointed by the len- j
tence of a mild, and no doubt, enlightened
court-martial, to take the place of die wit
mis, and iiicceeded to the vacant halter.—
Hevey, you may suppose (continued mr. Cur
ran) now thought h-s labours at an end; but
ke was miftakt n ; his hour was not yet come,

lord, accounting for his eleapt*, by the lor

ces, that might have fmo e upon the fenlib’l
ityof fir Ch arles Afgil, and made him behev
that he was in debt to Brovidence for the life
of one’innocent, though convicted vkfiim.—
But it was not so ; his escape was purely ac
cidental. The proceedings upon his trii!,
happened to meet the eye of lord Cornwallis.
T he freaks of fortune are not always cruel; in

grave, were n only, that file might afterwards
rcconlign him to his dtftiny, bv the repufil of
capricious cruelty upon f.n allfc commlera
lion. Lord Cornwallis read the tianlmifs of
lievey’s condemnation *, his heart recoiled
from the detail of stupidity and Barbarity.—
He dallied his pen aero fs the odious record,
and o dered that Hevey should be forthwith
liberated. I cannot but highly honour him
for his conduct in this inftur.ee; nor, when!
recoiled his peculiar fi.uanon at that difaf
trous period, can l much b 1 a > e him for no

to you ? you llian’t get poflelfion of the
btall, which you have forfeited by your
treason, nor can I suppose that a noble
animal, that had been honoured with
conveying the weight of duty and
allegiance, could condcfce.id to load
her loyal loins with the vile burden of
a convi&ed traitor. As to the major,
(said mr. Curran) / am no furpnfed
that he spoke and aded as he did. He
was no doubt aflonilhed at the impu
dence, and novelty of calling the pri
vileges of official plunder into queldi
on. Hardened by the numberleis in
stances of that mode of unpunished ac
quisition, he had creeled the frequen
cy of impunity into a sort of vvariant
of spoil and rapine* One of these in
flances, 1 feel, l am now bringing to
the memory of your I ordfhip. A learn
ed and refpeded brother bariiler, had
a fdver cup ; the Major heard for in i
isy years that it had borne an iascrip-
tion of “ Erin gblrjAjf’ wfi.iwh i
‘lreland for ever.” The Major con
sidered this perfcverance in guilt for
such a length of year?, as a forfeiture
of the delinquent vefTcl. My poor
fi iend was accordingly robbed of his
cup. But upon writing to the then
attorney general, that excellent officer
felt the outrage, as it was his nature
to feel every thing that was barbarous
or bale ; & the majors loyal fide-board
was condemned to the grief of reltitu
tion. ( f o he continued- )

*•>*•. iwiWMWiWgw—
We did not take notice of citizen F.
Slehbms’s attending the playon faturday
evening becaulh we thought it criminal:
no iuch riling, We never believed
there was any harm in visiting a play
noufe any evening it was found conven
ient * # nor do we think any further
reipecl is due to the opinions of those
who differ from us,th?n to leave themto
pursuits they may prefer. Our object
was merely to {he w ho w well fome
people’s profeifidns corresponded with
their practice.
Although we never did, and never
will admit a paragraph as editorial lor
which we were indebted to a corres
pondent, we have not always thought
thm of our neighbours and the insolent
cr>
paragraph formerly alluded to y may be
-v.nfidc.Cv! a pi oof in point, by : h I.
own confeffion, that we were not ir
:orrccl. {uclging them by tluir adop
ion is ut fair as from their own beget
cing.
In one point of view, their para
graph of yeflerday is important : it
proves that preteniions which are utter
ly deltatute of foundation, will he re
sorted to, when they are expected to
obtain an alcendancy over the mind by
seizing on its prejudices.
As to the bov, we do not know e
nough of the particulars to decide whe
ther the men was or was not in
he right. Quarrelling does not al vays
mean blows, and if citizen Francis cho
ids to become doorkeeper to the thea
tre, God forbid that we lliouid prevent
him : we think him far better qu Idled
for that nlace than for the one he now
k
occupies. This much is certain, he
will he very ha>ml:fs any where, lie
♦vohit “ hurt you at all at ail. ’
He talks of furniihing us with anec
dotes!—we have thoturht that he
o o
would rather supply materials for his
own damnation, than remain unno iced.
But no, no fir, we arc not disposed to
avail 0111 selves of y our genernfity : the
vanquiflmnent of a fly is no victory.
