that this move will take place be

come away we may be sure, that
in their opinion at least, the house
is about to fall. But whether
they come away or remain, the
short of the matter is, that, with
the exception, perhaps, of the pen
sioned poet, Fittzjcralcl, the editor
of the sinking Morning Post, and a
few such ones, there is nobody
who does not expect to see Joseph
Bonaparte as much master of
Spain and Portugal by the end of
the year, as his brother Louis
is master of Holland, or as George
the third is master of England.
This being the general opinion, a
question which every man ought
to put to himself is,shall we thenbe
able to defend ourselves against
this conqueror ? He will have
under his absolute command, eve
ry seaport in the world capable
of being greatly mischievous to
this country ; and, at the same
time, he will have all the means for

that it should be known that the inl

that the sense of the nation disap

the first openly to propose the
thing, and as the public will bear in
mind, the proposition was so openly
opposed by every sound and sensi

Grand dinners and leasings among
the rich contractors and jobbers were,
at first, the intention ; hut, fear sug

pocritical pretence of a desire to re

as well as on the 25th of Oidober
