The disgust excited thrOuabout the Empire by
the, scandalous course adopted by the Opposition,
arid particubarly by one of . their Lenders, during
•
.3 3:
the present SesSion of Parliament; has been
warmly participated by the Author of these , • :, ,•..,
spi-
rited verses. He reprobates with truth and energy
that vicious mode of proceeding which for the
sake of embarrassiria or twatiom hr dmint-
n,
r, r•
_tratio resorts to every hurtfnl expedient, though , .
the obvious and, Undeniable con,sequences •are the
injury; perhapS the ruin of the Country. Touch,
•
ing in an able and severe manner upon most of the
prominent topics which present themselves.as Cgll7:
fleeted with this part of his
.theme, the writer
proceeds to ridicule the znterrogatory pas.qoyi which
was carried to so shameful and blameable an
excess previous to that (late when the expose
of the conduct of King JoAcutm, (the great
trump card of the Faction) seems to have made
them as mute as they were before noisy, as hum-
ble as they were before arrogant. We extract
this portion of, the Poem as a fair; specimen of the
way in which the Author has executed his task,---
He is-describing CLooTz
:
(Tear him, when floundering (in his two left legs,
Full many an answer all at once he begs: •
did I say? 0 no, insist, demand;
And who shall dare his mandates to withstand ?
Will you the cursed income Tax renew, •
" Or what worse system of Finance pursue ?"
" Tell me who sig,t'd Prince Repnin's proclamation ?"
"ISid Wellington attest a declaration,
" Eneonraging direct assassination ?
" 0 if he dar'd, my vengeance yet shall reach him,
" And, as I did old Melville, I'll impeach him." •
" What mischief IN the North of Ertrope's breeding ?"
" Ts Norway to he handed o'er to Sweden ?"
"In Italy what fermentation's brewing?" ,
" Is Genoa transferr'd, arid donned to ruin ? '
" Who sign'd the Regent's execrable stuff ?"
" Where are all papers 'that relate to Duff?"
" What are the plans and polities of Prussia,
" Of Austria's Despot, and*thy tyrant, Russia ?"
" Ts Ssxory a wretched annexation ?"
" Is Poland given up to spoliation ?"
" Say, is the note of Talleyrand authentic?"
" What are tit' instructions of Lord William Bentincl; ?"
" Why did not 'Whittingham (he ought I say)
" E'en in the field his General disobey?:
" My Bedford Locals do it every day."
" Are subjects to be harter'd by the million ?"
" What is the Seoret Treaty of Chattillon
" Whom are the Imperial Swindlers now trepanning?"
" What are the Congress at Vienna planning?"
" I-Tow long in Portugal stays jobber Canning ?"
1. Why do not Ministers preserve the peace,
" And reprimand the Westminster Police ?"
a Why will they in the Alien Act persist?" •
" Why is not iniur'd Berenger dismist?"
" Why is our bounty royally ?'.' •
" Why are the Oueen's coach horses never us'd ?"
" Why should the Princesses the pahlic.fieece,
" Anti have some thousand pounds a-year a-piece?"
" Why has our gracious Regent, times so hard in,
" A hothonse, or a greenhouse, in his garden 1."
" Are we, whate'er is asleti, to give of course?"
.. what has the Regent done with Plattiff's horse ?"
" Is he, 1 will be told, from dawn to dark,
Coodemn'd to dr-t a dong-cart in the Park?"
" Why has he not a stable drawing-room?"
" Tinily nnt, to every foot a separate groom?"
rtrhV not &loved his future days to pass, -
" In riotous felicity, at grass?"
" Vansittart! Bathurst! Addington! i say
1. Speak. Pole speak Gouldbourn! speak, great Castle-
• mei!" - -
Sear'd at this terribly tremendous style.
Vansittart, Bathurst, silent sit and smile,
And Gooldbonrn, Riley. Pole, laugh loud the white.
" I will be answor'd." C)ootz in fury cries;
" Indeed yon won't," cool Castlereagh replies;
Aud all his fire evaporates and dies.
