" With profound humility I tender to your Imperittl Modesty my
since►Ye congratulations On the prosperous state of your M‘jesty's
atti►irs. If I may venture to allude to any predictions of so humble a
person as myself, I would remind your Majesty that everything which
has ►xcu►red ill this country for several months past has turned out
exactly as I predicted. I hesitated not to assure your MAjesty that
your old and trusty friend, Lord ABEREEN. would not resign ; that.
with the admirable skill for which he is celebrated, he would, after
humiliating that Pagan dog, the Sultan, by negotiations, sneak back
from supporting him, when he was committed to a quarrel with your
Majesty ; that your just pretensions would be abused by the most
influential newspapers hem, to please the ignorant vulgar, but in the
end would be supported. as the I ;internment desired ; that you could
have the illustrious milloeraey, nearly all-powerful in this country,
entirely with you, as they invariably hold that there is no object in
the world worth thinking about but the sale of cotton.
"Amongst those circumstances at p►esent most favourable to your
MAjesty's all-wise designs I reckon the adherence of the great Mr.
CORDER, whom your M‘jesty may have heard of, as ho once visited
your dominions. lie has now-1 felicitate myself to say—become one
of your Majesty's h►unble admirers, and I have heard him boast that
he can lead this people, who are in many things incredibly silly and
credulous, by the nose as he pleases. It is true that he once did
audaciously threaten to crumple your empire up like a piece of paper,
but that was while your Majesty was on excellent terms with this
Government. No sooner had your invincible soldiers commenced a
holy crusade against the Pagans than he candidly acknowledged the
virtues of your rule, and soundly abused the infidel dogs whom your
Majesty, in the fulness of your gracious benevolence, intends to exter-
minate. The great Mr ConnEs is at the head of a very powerftd
Peace confederacy, which hum vowed never to rest until it has put
down the fleets and armies of this country. They have not yet
succeeded in depriving the soldiers of muskets and the ships of cannon,
but it is understood that they have come to all agreement with the
Government that. they shall be used only for parade and review, as
there is a prejudice at g the vulgar against any complete disarma-
ment at present ; the great Mr. Cosmoi and his illustrious associates
hope moon to get the better of what they term these bigoted notions.
I have had groat pleasure in contributing largely to the funds of this
excellent association ; and as it is calculated that one moldier will be
disbanded for every ten tracts issued, and that a ton weight of those
little papers—which seem to have an astonishing influence in this
county—will dismantle a 100-gun ship, I assist to the extent of my
power in distributing these excellent little sheets, knowing how ad•
vantageous they must prove to your Majesty's service.
"As your Majesty is so well acquainted with the characters of the
Ministers, I need say little about them ; but it is rumoured that Mr.
til.AusTeNK is in what they cull here a flurry, as he has promised t►► pay
off a great many millions of the National Debt ; and the people, who
are very sagacious in all that concerns their pocket, would certainly
tun► him out of his place if he did not keep his word, or if he made
bad bargain for tl►em.

"The admired Paper here, which is most opposed to war, and which
tells all the people every morning what they are to think for that day,
has had a great tax taken off it by the very excellent Mr. GLADmrosir. ;
and I am told that in ease of war that tax would certainly be put on
again. So, as the people say here, put that and that together.
" In short, there are so many circumstances entirely favourable to
your Majesty's designs that I cannot embody them all in this despateh.
There is but one little thing which troubles me. When I get away
from the Government offices, and the newspapers, and the peace.
folks, and the millueracy, and converse with the people who are to
be met in the streets and every place of general resort, I am shoeked
to find how irreverently they speak of your Majesty, and even of their
mil Government. I hope there is no danger ; but I am really afraid
that, if any accident should rouse them, they would kick their excellent
Ministers out of place, read any newspapers which flattered them with
a notion that they could be honourable, courageous, and true to their
engagements, and send forth their fleets to blockade your Imperial
Majesty's ports, and sweep your Imperial Flag from the seas as effec-
tually us your Majesty, in your infinite condescension, proposes to ex-
terminate the Turkish Pagans."
