I was prepared to hear of impeachment ap,ainst the
dinisters, but I did not expect to find them corupb;
nented by such men as the Duke.of Wellington or Lora
tanley.
Is, then, the Constitutional responsibility of Ministers
of the Crown extinct?—and ;he Royal office row a mere
Ministerial plaything ? Have t,:le people, all this whind
le:
been exerting themselves to get setter Ministers,
have they thus been annoying the Qu.seru by overruling
her predilections, and separating her fr,..,m the Ministemowr
m
of her choice, merely that their places ight be
pied by their flatterers ? In short. Sir, has tNe nationl
move" been a mere child's game -at bat..lebre
shuttlecock, to get the Whigs out and the sConserva-
tives in ? If the Duke and Sir Robert think
surprise will soon be as great as mine was law the
Duke of Wellington assured the House of Lords 1. hat—Ti
" He had always considered that Lord Melbourne ha"
rendered the greatest possible service to her Maje.tYi
He had reason to know that
coon Majesty herself was
opinion that the Noble Vit had rendered her the
greatest service, not only as a public servant engaged i°
the conduct of affairs, but in the assistance he had givie°
her Majesty in making her acquainted with the lawl
60, their
policy, and system of government in the country."
Now, Sir, the man lives not who has revered the puke
of Wellington more than myself. His attaclunent
the Monarch has been above suspicion ; but as t‘
home-spun Yorkshireman, lam utterly unable to fi,ues in
how the Duke can reconcile it to his loyalty to ;10

" Conservative I" Then, again, in the Rouse of
mons we find how great is our loss (Lord titanley being
the Judge), by ridding her MajzystST of that mischievous
adviser, Lord John Russell. Lord Stanley sa:s; resPeeP
ing hjm.—
" I fu2ly give the Noble Lord the credit of having been
influenced by no consideration but the sense of dot}
which, with a man of his high honour, must be .Pare:-

conduct, must regard it with no sentiments but those

talents with which, only in the duties of his ownst'
,j
partment, but in the unuagement of the political bu
ness of the House, the /si,Thbla Lord has uniformly coy,
ducted the very arduous and difficult task which was 3.-
siwned to him."
'Every Englishman must now naturally ask, is
le really so, why should we have b, en excited to regeS,
he expulsion of these Ministers, by loiders who, aftcr, "of
their admirers, and compliment tbt'm when certlail
ucceeding to their places?" Du not mistake me ; hili°o
a well as any man what courtesy requiree, aye, and
-allantry demands, from the conqueron_l to the va
quished • but I have yet to learn that flatixy is a reg:ii
site in the character of a soldier or a statespian. „p
'
that the Duke and my Lord Stanley have said' is trtle,
it will be difficult to convince men of any party' thl;,"
Ccnservatives have not been guilty of a grave
against the Queen and the people, in forcing these
viceable, dutiful, honourable, admirable, zealous, T,seir
vering, able, and talented." Ministers to resign itiLtis
offices, and the Queen to accept their resignations---ta
depriving both of the services of such honest, faith
and excellent advisers. It has bean disingenuous wuto
from beginning to end ; and, by the showing of to
Conservative leaders, I fear that it is likely to tura
bad account.—Oastler's Fleet Papers.
