There was as little candour as taste in Mr,
P,RouonAm's allusion on TOesday night, in the House
of Commons, to the Poem -.recently published by
Mr. -WHARTON, whose habits, Mr. BROUGHAM al-
leged, were not fitted to such productions. What a
discourse on• the OgbElis of Cc:lngot'. had to do
with the subied of such an unprovoked sarcasm it
will, perhaps, exceed Mr. BitouotiAm's. ingenuity to
discover. But surely thiS out of the way attack, may
excuse people for asking him, how the kalifs of
Reviewers can quality a man to become a practical
Politician ?

It has often -been asserted, that some of our Op-
position Prints are in the pay of BUONAPARTE ; but
if this charge should, be unfounded, it must be ad-
mitted that they dejerve a, pecuniary. recompense

are generally.transferred into those of the Moniteur.
his, however, proper to make a,distkelion
tween what may be deemed the legitimate Oppo,
sition P.ipeas of this country, atld those of aeJace-
tin::cril descrOion which disgrace our public press.
'lle. writers in the former, though Ulcies, ale not.
eneit,ies_to our monarchical gove;nment, but those
in t! e- latter endeavour, openly or insidiously, to
abolish it altogether, thollgh the fr:lotie ideots.
might be taugl,t by experienc. that their own ruia
also woild be the probable conseilu,,qice.
On the night of the 21st ult. the inhabitants of

fore it was discovered that the inmates had hardly
