Dl Hi: Rod Ilighttrts the PRINCE of

ssa,

'THE exalted rank, of your,Royal Highnesii your
affedirso as a Son, y9ur duty as a Subject, and the
high interest which yott must naturally take in the
prosperity of the BritiehEitpire, to the Throne of
which yoti are Heir Apparent, have no doubt led
you to testify a more Out common interest in the
miscondtkd with which a Noble, Lord, high in office
and ioconfidence,,has been Outlet!, ,
On this occasion your. motives were undoubtedly
of the purest nature, and merit praise ; by, Sir, you
have ,nut lived till tlie preeent hour without:know.
ing that deceit is often pradised towards Princes,
and that the spirit of Party often. leads men astray—
that the real and the apparent causes of action are
oftirt #ery different,. and sometimes cliredly op.
posite, and that men have been seen to unite in ef.
tart, who were totally different
,in intention,
I .should certainly not deserve attention. were
to have the impertinence to ,offer an apology for a
breaCh of the Law, an abuse of Power, or the mean,
poultry; and criminaloclevices of men in office, who
fill their pockets from the coffers of the Public. I
shall not even trouble your Royal Highness with
the inquiry how far the imputed criminality is
brought hobs, to the supposed Culprit. A matter
of greater—of. fel' greater moment, and pne that
more nearly concerns yoUr Royal Highness, is the
objed of my address.
In this case I have the.satisfadion to think that
no person has better opporopities than your Royal
Highness. of ascertaining the real circumstances to
Which I am going to allude.
The fidelity of your Father's confidential Servants
cannot,to you be a matter of indiXerence ; hut in
seeking to remove evil Councillors from his presence
for ever, there are some considerations of the highest
importance, that are carefully concealed from the
view of your Royal Highness.
You may probably recoiled, Sir, that it was by
disgracing and degrading the Ministers of the un.
fortunate Lours XVI. that his enemies made their
first approaches towards attacking his Royal Person.
Yoti have known, and honoured with your favour
and friendship, Mons. De CALONXI, the Minister,
in whose degradation there was a great similarity
to that of the late First Lord of the Admiralty. The
Government was represented as disgraced and de.
graded.'--It became obnoxious to the People when
those in place and power were treated as infamous.—
CAisterie is now gone to another world ; but if
your Roy al Highness does not recoiled the circum.
stances and motives of his disgrace, you may be in.
formed by His Royal Highness MoresiEUßl or by
the PRINCI of PONDS, or any of those who knew
What passed at Versailles during the last four years
of the ancient Monarchy.—They will tell you the
truth.

Ask, Sir; of the French Nines, whether the
Throne of France was not attacked by the degrada.
tion of those who surrounded it t Whether accuse.
tions were not fabricated, and faults exaggerated,
fur the exress purpose of rendering the Govern_
ment despicable and odious ) Ask whether the
pod and virtuotts did not unite their efforts to those
of the must depraved of nankinti, Unconscious of
what they were ultimately preparing to produce

For the retoliatof Mont. Os CALciNs there
was suilleiint reasons ; fur his ditkonoiir there was
none—and certainly in this. last opinion your Royal
Highness will agree. Your Royal Highness must
long have known his innocence, otherwise you
never could .have admitted him within the gates of
your ?duce—Non would never have admitted' an
infamous Charader to sit down at your table—niush
less would you have sat down at his.

If the clamour of a Nation, if removal from high
official situation, with alt the marks of contumely
and contempt, degrade the Minister, nine ever felt
them more severely than did Mons. Da CALONNe—,
He was the Lori MiLVILLIt of France--tarty it
is scarcely possible even for malignity to attach
to his Lordship an equal degree at culpability with
that which was imputed to him, whom you have
since honoured with your countenance.
Can your Royal Highness account for the joy,
the triumph, the pleasure, that were manifested by
men professing to wish well to the Country, on
finding that its confidence has been abused ? This,
in other circumstances, would he a matter of serious
regret—here it is, a matter of exultation. This
ought to make your Royal Highness doubt; it ought
to make you hesitate in giving your countenance to
those violent measures now in agitation ; not that
I accuse the persons who lead the way, of
,intentl.
ing the evil that result from tin* measures
which they wish to adopt; but they are not aware
of the consequences themselves
That I may not trouble your Royal Highness
with arguments which I must use in another Letter,
addressed to some of the best friends to the Govern.
ment of England and the House of Brunswick,. I
shall conclude with requesting you to use that good
sense of which I know you are possessed, and to
employ that -means of information that is within
your reach, and you will find that the measures now
adopting are very different in their real, from what
they ate in their apparent tendency, and that they.
should not have so high a sattaion as that given by
a PRINCIt of WALES.

•
Your Royal Highness may'pethaps think that
.I
take a very great, and a very indecent liberty, in
supposing that your understanding is capable of be.
ing imposed upon ; but to be so has been the fate of
the greatest Princes; and you well remember that
the Great FRAIDICRICK of PROSsIA was imposed
upon byVoLrAnts,l)tosanT, IYALAMIIIIRT,cOII.
DOICcAT, and the whole Sc4t of the Enernits of
Thranel. He was led to co.operate with them till
he found that, in attacking the Ahar, they were
undermining the Throne, arid their most ardent wish
was to tee the last of Kitty :trait:led with lhe
boilveli oft& latt'of Priests. That gicat Monarch,
with all his known penetration, with his philoso..
phical and literary talents, was deceived forlltirty
years by those whom he had honoured, rewaided,
and protened ; and during the last fifteen years of
his Reign he acknowledged the deception.
After .such an example, it can be accounted no
refi,!xitoi un the ju,igtrient or penetration of a Prince
to d:• rived, and I hve that will prove my 01-

ARISTIDE%

TILE MARQUIS OF LANSDOURE.

TII late Marquis of LaNsnowtre was one of
those charafters who distinguish themselves among
their contemitareries by talents and acquisitiOns.
We entered into the Army very early in life, and
was at the memorable'Battle of Minden, He soon
after turned his attention to. State Affairs, and hair.
ing passed through the several gradationa,of ofii:e
suitable to his rank and abilities, at length reached
the acme of political ambition, and became Prime
Minister of Great Britain. He did n?)t remain long
in office, for he never made, strung political attach-
ments, and had not therefor: the powerful support
of a Party. Though his abilities were generally
acknowledged, the general courtesy of his manners
excited an opinion that he was too much of a States.
man in private life, and that in all political arrange.
ments he would be likely to attend more to his own
interests than to forward those of any Patty with
whom he might happen to be allied. Hence, though
the various Oppositions which have successively- ap.
geared since he engaged in political transa4tions
were glad. to avail themselves of his Lordship's
occasional support, they never considered him a.s
firm in their cause, or as disposed'to become a ca'rt.
sistent, member of their band. For.this reason he
always remained aloof, and having once been driven
from the Ministerial post, was beheld as one who
was never likely to regain it.

The charader of his Lordship's eloquence wit,
rather diffuseness than solidity and precision, and
his speeches Were sometimes prottaded to such a
length that it was difficalt to say what was his
mediate purpose, as it was !a much overwhelmed by
the number of topics which he introduced, arid the
diversified expansion of his sulijea. The terns cit..
cwiton: has indeed been applied to his Lordship's
oratory, and it may be deeMed its most appropriate
charaderistic i hat it must be admitted that his
speeches never were deficient in information, and
that they were rendered interesting by agreeable
narration and enlivening anecdote. The crest speech
of his Lordship on mord is that in which htlahour.
ed to strew the difference between hvgmeorr.
soil
Prerosative in its eff:cts upon the Constitution
and, the National happiness ; but though he diseri.
urinated bath with ingenuity and success, yet there
was, in fad, nothing new in the
.distindion, or in
his manner of treating it. It may not be improper
to mention that the Marquis of LANSDOWNE first
introduced the word irciproritt into the English
language. , It is a useful word, and has since been
generally adopted, though it is not yet considered as
legitimate by our nicer Philologists.
The Marquis of LANIDOWMI was an accomplish.
ed, if not not a profound, Scholar, and a liberal
Patron of Literature. Dr. PRIESTLEY, was long
favoured with his protelion; and unfriended genius
never -made a fruitless application to his bounty,.
Upon the whole there was much in the eharaeler of
the Marquis of LANSDOWNE CO admire and tore.
spe6l; and if he was never Much courted in polities,
or much a favourite, with, the people, it must be re-
knowledged that he did not Stoop to those degrad..
ing arts by which popularity is too often acquired.
He scorned to become a "'Pander to the bad-pas.
sions of the multitude," by haranguing a senseless
and bilious rabble in the public streets; end in pri-
vate life he maintained the dignity of his rank by
hospitality and a laudable eountenance.of those Arts
which polish and adorn society, and oh honour to
mankind.
