Pao, who. in his own lan guage, was to trim the ever-burning lamp of liberty in the city of Westminster. it might be supposed, would have suffered himself to be buried alive, like a Roman vestal, had he neglefted his duty ; bat it now appears, that he is too much engaged in trimming the lamp at Botlay, at which he pens his attacks upon the Royal Family, to attend to the lamp of liberty in Westminster. From the consummate effrontery of the man, we did 'aped that he would have made some attempt, in his Number of Saturday, to extricate himself from the dilemma in which we had placed him: his silence proves that his condo& admitted no defence or pal liation. He stands completely unmasked. It was, therefore, with great setisfa&ion, we saw some of the Sunday Papers, which used to administer to this man's malice, and retail his libels, turn upon him yesterday, and treat him with merited contempt. — When every provincial newspaper, within the tone of their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Watts and the Duke of Ct • a ESC e, is filled with accounts of the delirium of.joy which their presence has ex. cited in every town and village thraugh which they have passed, of the effusions ofloyalty,which greeted them where-ever the Royal Brothers appeared, it 'is frightful to hear, in the heart of the metropolis, and at the very door of St. James's Palace, the retainers sod followers of this Coaster s boasting that there is It ran ego art let Princes, and that the slanderous writings of their patron have produced this run.
