A certain Baronet has shown a great respect for
the character of his late friend HORNE TOOKE, and
seems indeed to be very anxious to vindicate his
memory, for it was generally supposed, during the
life of HORNE Tooßa, that he instigated the Baronet
to all his political, excesses,. and gave him due in-
structions. By a recent speech of the Baronet, how..
ever, it is evident that he does not need a tutor in
topics calculated to spread discontents, sow divisions,
and excite alarms, and that he overleaps all the
bounds which the prudence, and even the fast?,
of his late political Monitor would have .recom-
mended.

The Sheriffs of London attended )esterday at the
House of Commons, leo present a Petition ; but on
proceeding to business, it appeared they had left It
behind them in the City. This, however, is not an
unprecedented case. When the Lords waited on
his Majesty, at Windsor, tocongratulate him on his
recovery, in 1789, they were in his presence be-
fore they found they had not brought the Address
with them. This awkward situation they were
obliged to confess, when his Majesty, with a gra-
clods smile, relieved them front their embarrass-
ment, by presenting them with the copy, which
was inimediately read as the original. It is
usual, in such cases, to furnish. the King pre-
viously with a copy, to er,able him to frame his
answer.
