SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 11.

His Majesty has visited both of the Theatres, and
one of the worst of Tory papers says, with perfect
nun-cludance, " We understand that it is his Ma-
jesty's intention to gratify his subjects by appearing
frequently among them"—if so, " Farewell, a long
farewell, to all their greatness"—The Tory news-
papers, and their infamous supporters, may truly
exclaim, " Othello's occupation's gone" the moment
the King allows himself to have a personal know-
ledge of those who have been malignantly misrepre-
sented to him. The great Peter of Russia, whose
many eccentricities found a full excuse in the fact

that they originated in a desire to serve those he
was destined to govern, used frequently to go out
entirely unattended and in disguiso—in one of
these nocturnal perambulations he became the
inmate for the night of a cottage, where, in the
course of the evening, in conversation with his host,

he touched upon politics—the cottager enlarged
upon the diatreces and oppressions of his country,
and concluded by paying a just tribute to the
goodness of his Monarch, while he loaded with
execrations the ear-wig-Ministers who poisoned his
mind and prejudiced him against his subjects, the
better to fulfil their iniquitous views. Early on the
morrow his suite surrounded the cottage, and to the
astonishment of his trembling host claimed their
Monarch—the Czar looking upon them with eon-.
tempt, exclaimed, " Behold this worthy man—he,
during the last.evening, told me that truth, to the
concealment of which your lives have been devoted."
So much' for history—and if England possess a
Monarch at least as good as the patriotic Emperor,
is he not surrounded by courtiers equally mischievous
—equally misrepresenting his subjects—and fur
what ? why, to enable them, by creating distrust of
their loyalty, to make him suppose that the reign of 11
terror only is fitted for a people who, in point of
fact, venerate their Sovereign inherently—whose
first essay at any thing like harmonic power is uni-
formly " God save the King"—who can and would
protect their King at the risk of life, fortune, and
every thing that is dear to them, while they would
run the same hazard to vent their feelings on the
Ministers who have abused him, libelled the Iwo-
plc, placed in abbcyance the Constitution, over-
whelmed the nation with distress, and can coolly
look on while they enjoy the wicked fruits of their
labours—but "it is his Majesty's intention to gra-
tify his subjects by frequently appearing among
them," and the distorted view be has received of
their feelings Will be removed—he will find that the
natural attachment of Englishmen to the head of
the Executive Government is undiminished, in
despite of all the attempts to decrease it which lib:
Ministers have made, by shamelessly dragging forth
the Royal name in excuse tisr their delinqticocies.—.-
It is now currently reported that on the delicate
subject which has recently so seriously agitated the
public mind, his Majesty is willing to cede to the
"wishes of his subjects, by replacing her Majesty's
name to the Liturgy, but that Ministers oppose it—
and shall it be borne that fifteen creatures like them
shall oppose themselves to the will of nearly as
many millions—that they shall, to keep their places,.
keep up a strife between the government and the
people, that proffers an alternative of despotism or
revolution.

Every division in that House which ought to
express the voice and wishes of the people proclaims
aloud the necessity of Reform—that on the motion
of the Marquis of Tavistock was triumphantly op-
posed to every expression contained in the loads of
petitions which, subscribed with the names of all
that comprise the honour, honesty, and respectability
of the United Kingdoms, have, night after night,
almost hidden the Speaker from the view of the
Memlnrs—and can such a system last ?—can such
quackeries be much longer tolerated—is the col-
lected wish and demand of the worth of England to
be derided by the finger of Lord Castlereagh point-
ing to the gla ions majority—a majority, the means
of returning which have been too often shewn to
