appearance. of party-spirit which has
,taken Jive
since the investigation into the conduct of the Ctiru
mander in Chief closed in the House of COmmons,
and the proceeding's ofSaturd3y last, in Guildhall, have
much increased that regret. However laudable might

be the motives which. actuated many who inc:ted,
tintrni who supportedthat investigation, it-might
surely be expeaed that after the Duke of YORK had;
made all the "sacrifice which eouldbe required of
him, every liberal advocate for the Inquiry would
now be content to drop the subjea, arid not follow his,
Royal Highness into--dOmestic retirement, in order
to embitter his feelings, ,and to augment. the incittie-
tude of our venerable and truly excellent Monarch.
Stich perseverance, as we have before observed, is
by no.rneansimalogous to the British charaoter, and
tends too fdrcibly to remind.us of thatrancoer which
attacked every.thing connected with Soreretenty,and
elevated rank in the beginning of the French Revo,
lution. We most readily admit that Many, frOut
the best motives, may have promoted the investiga-
tion alluded to; and may have been highly satisfied-
with the filial result ; but we are persuaded that no
enlightened or 'g etter u s mind can receive any grafi.;
fication in proieuging a subject 'which must hays
been paiitful through the-whole of ' all
true friends le the .4ritish Constitution.
iwpregress to
It seems plain from the cotalud of those who
promote Public Meetings, for the purpose of pas
ing Resolutions calculated le. keep alive public anxiety,
that they are not animated by the pure spirit of
true patriotisixt, for though they .afft..a to recommend
Calmness and impartiality to the multitude), they.are
really clisposed,to prevent any body from presuming
to deliver opinions opposite to their ywn, tier, Wiat
all their boatted hive ofj libetty;,. will they permit
people to entertain ditierent -sentiments, Without'
casting on them the grossest reflealol33. It has been"
acrimoniously-observed "those men, that the Na';
valand Military .otliCers..in the Hduse of Common,
took partin Javour of rise Duke of ,YORK ; but as it
cannot be denied that those Naval and' Mili-
tary Officers possess unimpeachable characters in
private life, and are distinguished for professional
merits, why are they to be denied the priVilege of
judging for•themselves,—and why must their jaag-
[pent and their feelings be,suppused to be biassed 1.1
interested motives ? We see with concern, that this
illiberal imputation has net merely issued from thu
lips of the party 'zealots who. address the multit
the
udu
on those occasions, but is included in une
Resolutions which. passed at Guildhall on Saturday
last. The old cry of " Plac'emen and PeivaiDnqs',
we must always expea. to hear onpc+ oe, agen° ,
