THE APOSTATE IN WILTSHIRE.

Copy of a Letter (found in Devizes supposed to be) addressed
by his Satanic Majesty to his faithful friends the supporters
of Sir F. B—d—t in North Wilts.

Most worthy men of Wiltshire, I give ye honour due 1
I'm glad to see my chosen friend is patronized by you ;
Though I the Arch-Apostate am, and very well 'tis known,
Pew Monarchs can endure to find a rival near the throne 1
Yet still, with so much joy, do I the traitor's triumph see,
The shouts with which ye welcome Him are music unto me.
Hurrah 1 Hurrah ! go bravely on ! my imps are busy now
In weaving a resplendent wreath fit for " Old Glory's" brow ;
And others laugh right merrily, while forging burning chains,
As marks of honour! Wiltshire men ! to pay ye for your pains.
Consistent Wiltshire men I hail with joy the day's appproach
When anew name shall take away the " moon-raker's "reproach.
Good honest people once ye were, with no great share of bead,
But ye had honour, courage, high, and manliness instead ;
Now 1 thanks to the wide influence of traitors and of knaves,
Ye shall lie my pet-colony of Dastards and of Slaves.
Hurrah 1 Hurrah 1 dear Wiltshire men I our friendship nought

shall sever 1;
Hurrah for Satan and B—d—t 1

APOSTACY FOR EVER.

THE LORD DUDLEY STUART, AND
THE POLISH REFUGEES IN ENGLAND.

To the Lord Dudley Stuart, Vice-President of the
Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, from
the Poles residing in London.
My Lord,—We beg leave to lay respectfully before your
Lordship the expression of our disappointment and our grief,
which is unspeak:kble, upon finding in the papers of yesterday
the announcement of the loss of your election at Arundel, for
the success of which we have been looking up with confidence,
though not without much anxiety. Now what unfortunately
has taken place we cannot but consider as a calamity both to
the cause of Poland, of which you were so warm an advocate,
and to that of the Polish Emigrants, to whom, in their dif-
ficult\v situation, you were so a steady friend and comforter.
e cannot doubt that this turn of circumstances might have
proved painful to you, as it is to us b , but we are still in hopes
that you will not be discouraged by and will endeavour
anew to present yourself as
candidate forl'
some other place, in
order to make the sympathy of the English public for the fate
of Poland re-echo in Parliament, and there to watch, as you
hitherto did, over her dearest interest. We were accustomed
to look upon the electors of Arundel, through your Lordship,
their representative, as our partial friends for several sessions;
and when advocating as you did the interests of Poland, which
we firmly believe are closely connected with those of England,
'We are confident that you may still meet with a constituency
an tittiency
in Great Britain which would feel anxious, upon this inter-
'national ground, to return you to Parliament.
No one can make a better estimate than yourself, of the
importance and the advantage which would arise to the Polish
cause from your presence in the House of Commons ; but if
we take the liberty of addressing you, so as almost to press
the subject upon your attention, it is because of our great and
just anxiety on this oceasion, your name and your success, as
we feel, being indissolubly identified in England, and through-
out Europe, with the cause of Poland, and with its ultimate
triumph.
We have the honour to subscribe ourselves, with the greatest
admirartion of your generous zeal and exertion on behalf of our
cause, and with a sense of deep gratitude and highest respect,
My Lord, your most faithful obedient servants,
