export warehoused good*. But we may he told
that ninitters, good, king), and compassionate souls,
wish to save his 31aie*ty trouble, aril the grateful
Lord Ilawknibury, the humane Lord Castlereagh,
and the ilignifitil 11r. Canning, are all eager to
rid him of hit rafal cares: Wall and truly did our
Harry the fifth exclaim, L'ataty lies the head that
wears a croire. The crows of England, however
enviable, is, igdicerf, a crowu of thorns. ./t re-
quired some physical force, and it consequently a
trouble, to sign the !hut made Lord Itovkise
bury Lord Warden of the Cinque Porta, and Mr.
Pereevars brother, Registrar.of the Court of Ad-
miralty. It it a trouble to confer titles, and places,
and pemiom ; to attend ieVre, and councils.--
When Richard the 77tieef turned upon Bucking-

under the Royal Sign Manual, it is surely mileh
more trouTil, some mid 'Ettinittl to refute them.

Wheth,r Ministers are alarm.'/ at what they lace
