LORD MON TEAGLE.

I, We have, as our readers are aware, no partict
, penchant for this little Lord, and from time to' ti, me
we have expressed ourselves rather freely, and.. in a
manner by no means complimentary towards hit n,
whenever we have bad occasion, which was not liar,
quently, to condemn his projects, and to stigrnatis e the
anti-national tendency of his actions. Many pet •sons,
then, have expressed surprise that we have not nc ticed
the arrangement which has lately been come to bet ween
this said Lord Monteagle and the venerable pa triot,
Sir John Newport, in consequence of which Sir John
has retired upon a pension, and Lord Monteaglt has
succeeded to his sinecure office of Comptroller of the
Exchequer. We have net followed the example of n !any
of our contemporaries in bestowing harsh epit bets
upon this arrangement, because bad as we believe ..ord
AU ',le 4-

Jnteagle to be, we would wish to " give t be d—)
his due," and in this instance we are inclined

.o
think he "is not so black as he is painted..” In
plain English, then we have not alluded to this sc •catled
"job," because we believe the filets to be that i It does
10t merit that ugly epithet. Lord Monteagle having
i'le'd the office of Chancellor of the Excheque.r for a
eelire. period, was entitled by law to a pension o. n his
saiaryment from office, of an amount larger that i t-he
attached to the office held by Sir John New. port,
and as the chzellor of the Exchequer cannot drat v his
pension while
a evident, eannothlolds any other office, the count] .y, it
we could not justiose by the exchange, and thee' .tore
that which the eireYi; as we think, condemn as
ii ."'"jr).)"
stigmatising with suchnihstaarnsjies would not warrant us in
proof harshness,_ Pilot.
[lt is a singular
unpopularzly of ' Mr.
Sprit*. Rice, that no friend hictastphb:eren found to -volunteer
tha explanation in a London
Irish *opponent
is the only journal which has done hiAnj
justice. If the
retiring pension of Sir John Newpo:
ns to bl, paid by
ow reas on what-
Lord Monteagle, the country will have
ever to complain. If the country, ho
pay it, and if that and Lord Mon tea I ' ever'
have to
g e 8 &liars, . of h.
new place exceed the amount of the pension he noi*,ll2
claim, so long as Sir John Newport liv , .he coi.*lAjtry't
es ,
will suffer by the arrangement.]
