The popularity enjoyed by the Earl of Moira in
Great Britain, is worthy of the most particular
notice. It is the natural consequence of the high
regard which the Earl has obtained by the wis-
dom of his speeches in Parliament, by his genero•
Pry, and the splendour which surrcands him out of
Parliament, by his talents and military acquirements,
and lastly,by his illustrious descent. Lord Moira also
possesses the merit of being an Irishman, a merit
which the inhabitants of that Island do not treat
with indifference. The Earl is descenaed by his
mother, a Baroness Hungerford, from Henry De
La Pole, Lord Montague, who was beheaded in
1538, because he had carried oa a correspondence
with his brother Cardinal De La Pole. Her mother
was Countess of Salisbury, daughter of George
Doke of Clarence, (brother of Edward IV.) con•
demised to death for having revolted against his
brother ; he was a son of Richard Duke of York,
who fell Pear Wakefield. in 1460, in the wars of the
white and red rose. His mother, Ann, heiress of
Lionel, Duke of Clarence, was married to Richard
Duke of York, found guilty of a conspiracy, and
beheaded in 1415, who was a son of Edmund Duke
of York, fourth son of Edward 111.

The houses of the Earl of Moira e intain a col-
leaion of portraits of his Mentions and Royal an-
cestors. That which has been attempted by some,
to recover a throne du* to them, is no proof that
the Earl of Moira will also one day eitdeavour to

enforce his right to the throne- of England ;
although this right would appear well founded, if,
as Mr. ideraee Walpole has endeavoured to prove.

the birth of Elizabeth (daughter of Edward IV.
who transferred the claims of the House of York to

the collateral line of Tudor. by her marriage with

Henry VII.). was really illegitimate ; and if it be
true. that Elizabeth Woodville was not the lawful
Queen of Edwasd IV. because this Prince was
already =allied with Eleanor Talbot, widow of Lord
Butler, before he cohabited with Elizabeth Wood-
ville.
AU this, however, affords reason to think, that
in case the discontent of the Roman Catholics,
Dissenters, and a large majority of the People,
burdened with tams, and incessantly agitated by
opposite opinions, the natural result of the frequent
changes of Ministers, should one day force the
English nation to expel the House of Hanover, (au-
thors of all the Continental wars, carried on at the
expense of the People of England), it would be
easy to find in the country a deseendant of William
the Conqueror, worthy of tbe sceptre of the cele-
brated Edward.

Far be it from us to contend, that such a thought
ever entered the mind of the Earl of Moira ; but
should the House of Hanover, in consequence of
its Protestant fan.tticism, be compelled to renounce
the English Throne, and should Great Britain, tired
of Foreign Princes, then wish to place on her
Throne, a descend tnt of Egbert, and of the great
111fred, would it be in the power of the Earl of
Moira to counteraß or oppose the execution of that
pri,jed ;;—(ffansbargh Correspond:n[4n, Jane G.)
