IV LORD •HO WICK.

MY LORD,

:F_-n

IT leas been. chiefly. from 'rnotiveS 'of conipassint
that 1 hale repressed till tbe present time my in-
clinatioa tp address to you, a few sernarks nu your
condua.,• It IS no; my disposition to instill
the fallen man, or to. add to the upbraidin of te-
morse, but when the erriirr Politician outrages de-,
o,n„
cency by boasting.ofhi,i misdeeds; it becomes a mo,
ral duty to e;ipose hits to Abe kletetation he merits.

Your Addross to the 'Freeholders bribe County
of Northumberland Contains such .a studied rifts-
,
statement of .faets—suen a perversion of truth, end
such misdhievous forebodings; that it is impossible
:to contain the vhtuous,indignation it,.is calculated to
excitein every toyal bosom...

Your ministerial career, my Lord; t4ougli forfu.
-nately....short, has been in a more than common de-
gree pernorable. Forgetful or disdainful of the
respe& due to the dignity and tlaritaer of your
Sovereign, 'whose immediate Servant you were/
you are accused of the attempt to make him a pup-
pet in your own hands, to be frightened, or ca-
.
joied, or deceived, as shOuld best.suit your purpose,
into any measure; however repulsive to him, vi'hich
you should think proper to bring forward. Because'
that gracious Master chose to assert his own dignity.
and rights, by 'resisting with manly firmness a mea-
sure obnoxious to his seise of duty, mid. aiming a
death-blow at. ,the best interests of the State, and
to Oismiss from ins presence men who .ccsuld be
. ,
capable of so grossly misusing his delegated autho-
rity, as to trench upon the principles which seated
his Illustrious Family upon the Throne of this great
Empire, you, my Lord, have the effrontery to come
forward and talk to us of a the dangers of the pre-
sent moment," and to stigmatize those. whom His
-111.k.TYsrr has thought more worthy ofliis confidence
• than your Lordship, as men « who, when their
own personal interest'is in view, have sitewn them-
selves re-4-ardless of the repose of their Sove-
reign, and of the welfare and tranquillity of their
Country."

The danger, my Lord, is --happily past, and we
are to thank your own over-bearing intemperance
that it has past inriOxious'ovei• us. That danger was
not confined' to the particular measure that. led. to
• your-dismissal from power—it existed in many of
the aas of that.AdminiStration of whiCh your Lord-
ship fOrmed so conspicucius,a part. The danger,
tremendously great and imminent, arose from qur
having men in it who had lived for so Many y6rs in
the praaice of'Jacobin principles. This designation
does-not,' of course, include'either Lord GRENvILLE
or Earl .SPExcER; though the former was nominally
•
at the head of the Government. These Noblemen,
once the able their Country by the side of
the i mmortal Stiitesinan who saved us from the ruin
which Your .Lordship and your political friends for
, . •
so many years labbtired to pcodUce, seem to
.have
surrendered both theirprinCiples and their senses,
when,. in,eyil hour, they linled themselves-to your
. •
Party'..-. I regret for their own 'sakes, as well as that
'Of their Country, the which they have -.taken
..for. the last four years; but I cannot forget: what
-they formerly were, and my respea and esteem .w ill
,
'still accompany them into that retirement which
. best befits their present situation. •

I may hereafter, my Lord, more particularly ex.
pose the dangers' which hung over ;the Country fro. 4
the principles had condu& of a part of the late Adm-
inistration—it is more particularly my business now•to
shew that the:inconveniencies attending a Dissolu-
.,.
_tion of Parliament, at this •poriod are not quite so
great as you Would wish- your late Constituents tot
believe, and that they do not appear- in the satri,-
'light to the Nation at large that they seem to do to
you. .

You set out. by telling.us that " a number of pri-
rate. Bills altogether, unexampled were depending."
What then ? Arelheinterests of fifty or a hundred
Individuals to be put in Competition with the great.
interests-of Cie State ? Is the British Crown to be
hu:'g up in susperwe that a Road Bill may pass ?
. Surely, my Lord Howicx, you could not expect
'That this argument, with which you commence your
Address,. was to weigh as a feather even with the
least informed of your NorthuMbrian Constituents.
iou have now discovered too. that " much public
business remains' to be concluded," though, six
weAs ago it was asserted, either by yourself or seme.,.
of yotir Coadjutors, that, the public' busineSs was so
advanced as to afford the prospe4 of a. speedy pro.'
rogation of the Parliament.—With respect to your
boasted Plan of •Finance, it will be found that a
much more advantageous one to ,the. Country .can
be produded, that will equally exempt it 'from any
immediate ,addition to the existing taxation. The
Poor Bill, and the Scotch Judicature Bill, it, was
a',3ly-contended in. Parliainent, required ''more
4eration than coald be given to them, had the.Ses-
:.lon L,Len prolonged ; and all the other A&s whicb
you en•2l-nerate << incoriiPlete, can 'as well be per-
f..icicd...;ll anew Parliament 23 it tn.ey bad' passed in
t}ie old. Six Q; SCVCII weeks ciclayin A ts, alrcon-

requiring.. ddibaraition, carrot be attended
with the sulallest iucopvenience ta the public service.

nate in yoqr topics of crirnination..against.tlAotaws ,

marked by the new. Chancellor of the Exchequer,'
in the House of Commons, :that the PrOphet of evil

You cannot conceal the mortification and chagrin

aversion to pledges of any kind, "as utterlylincom-

TVESDAY, MAY 5, : I 507..

This morning two Gottenburgh Mailiarrived, but
they do not bring intelligence of so late a date as
that which had previously reached us. The official
accounts from the Swedish Army only come down
to the gth ult. The defeat of the Swedes, and the
Armistice, are stated to have occurred several days
after. •

Government have not received any dispatches from
the Continent ; consequently pe still remain in
doubt rspeEting the Conditions of the Armistice.

The Dispatches from Admiral Ducxworat, tb-
gether with his Correspondence with the Porte, .will
appear in. the Gazette of to-night.

Sir &HINT STUART ilas declined the chief corn
rnand -of . the German Legion, on account of Ilk
health. General VI.LLETTE; it is reported, has been
since named to this appointment.

Etnictioils.,--ThatfOr the .City. of London- will
eoinnience to-morrow—for the City of Westminster
on Thursday next—for the County of Middlesex on
Monday the 18th---for the County of Siorey on
Monday the 1 ith—for the City of York on Thurs-
day next--for the iluiversity of Cambridge on Fri-
day—and for the Borough of Ipswich this day.

There will riot be any contest in Dublin ; _Mr.
LATOUCHE abaivions • his pretensions to', the repre-
sentation of that City, and goes to solicit at Leitrim.
Mr. Sttnw' comes in without any opposition ; Mr.
GRATTA.N having no one to resist him will of course
be eleaed.
