It is reasonable to hypothesize that perhaps a combined well-intentioned but self-deluded Members and Lords sought to change the religious culture of some nine million subjects by the presumably glorious proclamation.
That point of view nonetheless was flexible enough to be admiring where admiration was due as, in at least, with that system in which a proper trial would replace a lettre de cachet. Gordon wonders whether he can receive a fair trial, and is reassured by the chief justice Lord Mansfield. The court room exploded with joy.
Lord George thanked the jury and in a few weeks had a large celebration for them and for many of the other aristocrats in his family and on his side. And the Portuguese, and N. These and other challenges regularly reminded the ministry that Gordon could do again what he had done in Whatever the means, he had to be permanently incarcerated and, if possible, die by nominally legal means.
Lady Justice carried a sword as well as a scale, and she was not always blindfolded. The story of the Gordon Riots was every where in the British press, in diaries, in letters, and in numerous pamphlets that memorialized the events and praised or blamed them as individual bias suggested. Excommunication could have meant incarceration without benefit of trial, defense, or jury until he recanted and cooperated with the Church, as he clearly would not do.
Many Members of Parliament agreed. Pitt himself acknowledged that the treaty designed to enhance trade and mutual wealth might only postpone war and temporarily improve relations between hostile powers.
The ferociously brilliant Petition could not be mistaken for the work of petty criminals guilty of conventional felonies. When sentencing was postponed, however, Gordon absconded to Amsterdam, where he joined Dutch Jews to enhance his growing interest in Judaism. He appeared there as an almost unrecognizable Polish Jewish congregant whose head covering the court ordered to be forcibly removed, and whose scraggly beard became an object of mingled puzzlement and derision. In it was properly stern.
Its anger was against the abuse of progress, British inability to sustain philosophe initiatives, and the return to religious war. The Courier laments serious failures in British culture and government. The Crown could neither control nor silence him, but it could put him away for ever.
Though libels against Marie-Antoinette may not yet have been published, malicious gossip regarding her conduct and her roles in the affair of the necklace circulated on both sides of the Chanel. Adulterer, blackmailer, bully, con-man, ingrate, libeller, pimp, poxed, wife-beater, rapist, sodomite, spy, and upstart are appropriate modifiers for a provincial bourgeois who in assumed the quasi-aristocratic title Chevalier de Morande.
Harsh attacks became staples, and perhaps none more so than its extended savaging of the Italian nominal Comte Alessandro de Cagliostro, the real Giuseppe Balsamo from Palermo. The first is psychological. Morande, the self-anointed Chevalier, needed to exorcise his own parvenu demon by demonizing Cagliostro. He hoped sooner or later to return to France and needed at least to be tolerated by the powerful figures and groups he once had blackmailed or offended. Gordon protected Cagliostro from possible French persecution and became his public advocate.
Gordon also apparently libeled Marie Antoinette and thus was a felon. Morande could appear to defend the French court he hitherto had defamed by in turn defaming the British aristocrat allied with the false Count who tarnished that court in the affair of the necklace. Morande tells the French ambassador in London that he indeed is an admirable spy, knows every important person in the navy, the press, the court, and parliament, and can find whatever is necessary to know.
Thanks to this multiplicity of resources, he rarely makes a mistake: He also purposely includes remarks that are not consistent with French ministerial views: An international publication partially designed to illumine British politics as guides for French politics became an espionage tool and an instrument of personal ambition and destruction. Another implication is that the bad often drives out the good. The Gordon Riots were destructive for London, Britain, Gordon himself, Anglo-French relations, and for many of those associated with him, like Cagliostro.
One sad paradox of these events is that aspects of the Gordon Riots anticipated some destructive events of the French Revolution. It once had compiled news, especially British news, for francophone readers and reflected aspects of the free and argumentative British journalistic and political systems.
It then became the instrument for Morande to prove himself useful to the France he had slandered and to which he hoped to return for profit and protection. He died quietly at home in Brissot also returned to France, but as a Girondist and was guillotined in English Version 67, , p. Le Premier Novembre M.

Other Members of Parliament, peers, and ministers, however, sometimes complained about misrepresentation or misunderstanding.
