AVERY principal charge brought against yriu,
their public declarations by the present Ntriissirs, is
the• having forfeited the pledde you originally are
said to have given, them,- of constant, znilous, and
aaive support; In this brt;ach 'd faith your late
colleague,

It is scarcely possible to tech convinced that the
writer's who..iia made the channel of acctication, could.
have intended to be Undefitoo,l literally and seri.

ously ;.and yet again. .ho.nrgoea the point •moit
ra ly and learnedly, andhr.rngs into the field every
we:quill which he deems fit,for service in this most
extraordinary attack—the battering ram of the an.
dents, as well as the. scalping knife of the wild
Atnerican,—so that we.most;concltide he oupeets tltic

impression. upon the speCtators and audience to be no
*other than as a mortice of, sober :sadness. TI am of
opinion"lhat youdid, Sir, promise your hearty sup-
port to your successors in °Rite ;
,and my induce.
ment ..for makiOg 'this concession arises from yr;er
haviag fublielj. said ,to, and not from the astertiun
of :the Treasury' Reporter, who, by filw,lys U.
tempting to prove too much, generally creates a sus.
picion prejudicial .to the interests the, cause he
adopts, and in many. instaoces• sufficient completely
to call his, veracity into question. Beside s, the in.
consistency which it appears to he his. ohjqt to
.affix to your CharaCter, far .entertaining ,a different .
opinion of the qualifications of IVli:lsters at ilrfent',
from that which youproleSsed-on their first admis-
sion into power, which he no doubt concluded
would deter your Friends from discussing the lub.

sadly vanish befine the most cursory and stiperficial •
investigation, . No operation of the _human mind
can be more simple than the progress from approval
to disapprobation—when the ground Upon which,
that approval is founded is altogether relinquished;
.and another substituted in its stead, whose cirraCter

-
it is to subvert, and whose purport it is to overthrow
the very Principle in which it originated. My Lord
GILENVILLE And yourself, Sir, unequivocally, did
Promise your support to the present ;vlinisters—Thil
former publicly in his place in the House of Peers,
avowed the intention for himself, and in the name

of his Colleagues. It. was no secret pledge—it was
not whispered through the key.hoje of flocking.
ham-House to :the car of His MAJESTY—it re-:

quired not the, sacred and solemn deposition of
to prove the existence of the f`aat. it was

an open, explicit, and avowed declaration made to
the Country, . order to reconcile people to a
change they most seriously deprecated, and to si-
lence the rising Opposition to the, introduttion of
men wholly new-to business, and untried in the ars.
duous duties of Administration. Thus far hoth ac_
counts agree ; but, wantin's, what th?sleifollow's our
Editor's History ik deficient, whilst 41 little ado

r
vance, nn our part, will, I suspect, give a differ-
ent aspect to the, whole business, My Lord"Gam.
vtr.t.s, speaking in the name of • himself and his
friends, did promise support to Ministers : but wail
it absolute—was it unqualifiedor rather, were
not
.the preciie conditions laid down ? "Itis my

"by their voices.?" Lord Se CNC elt, explained hie
intentions to thi state effect ; and I beer no doubt
that every coffve.house Politician in England was. •
perfedly aware of the condition upon which the
' retiring .Ministers were to support their sitcces.

LONDON, S EPIT E41;11 R 24, 1803.

Tnis mnrningarrivcd the Dublin Mail of thealtitif
instant, which brings an . account of the.rteeutton
on that. day of, RObert Emmet, in Thomas,street.'
Our Correspondent, it will be seen, has fur.
nished us with a pretty detailed account of his
Execution. He made his, Co; fissions to a friend
who 'was admitted to him in the morning, whidt our
Correspondent. has procured for us. It will readily
Strike every Reader, that his profissrons and his
pranice were very widely different: The exe.
(Anion of 'this* mad, a' principal Leader in the
Rebellion, and who, from his education 4nd
connexions in life, mo3t have, possessed. consi.
derable influence over the minds of the misguided
rabble, will, we have no doubt, have the best
possible consequences. He ;Iffened to deprecate
French connexion, but surely at 'no period could
an attempt to overturn the established GovernMent
in Ireland be made, in which it could, more essen.
tially serve the purposes of France, unless in.
deed it had been delayed till the • designs ,Of
Invasion on the part of the French GoyernMent
hyl been more ripe for *execution. The terror
which the convinion and execution of the Traitors
,of the 231 July,. must inspire, aided by the* vigi.
•
ince, and firmness onollc! part of Government,
which must follow the providential discovery of.
their plans, will, we trust, Smite Ireland from any
.Ithure attempt of the same nature, even shotild
France be,desperate. enough to maintain her views
upon 'that Country.' Emmet afreEted to say that
BO:41+18.111TE lever intended seriously to inVade us,
but-to harass us, and wear us out .by the consequent
expellee incurred by such continued threats: There
, .
may be some truth in this arsertion, but it ought
not to indUce els to relax from our wise system of
defence. 4mmei , it will be seen, was, or pre.
'tended to be, a Protestant. The evidlnce against*
, •
against him was clear and Conclusive, but almost all
the fans havink been already ,detailed, we think ii
unnecessary to recapituleite them.

The fotiokt,ing Rpm, however, which Are new,
were adduced on his Trial'. •

Tut E same weak and wavering system the -Att.

Prevails. We understand that various aeci.
sions have. taken pliiee respeeting the conduff which
it becomes our Government to hold towards the
Court Of /1/fldrid,',and that even up to this time
nothing ' is permanently settled upon the subjeft.
Nothing' can, be more plain than that, ,with the
Treaty existing between France and Spain, the
latter cannot b; neutral, and yet our Ministers are
flattering, themselves that they have obtained the
Neutrality and efen the good will of Spain ! We
not 'aunt to mie Spain ,an Enemy, but what we
contend, for,: ;;is that, placed as she is, she matt be
either oar Enemy or oar 411.--Can it be endured
that' the People of this Country shall be told,
though Spain supplies annually to France a large
sum.of money to carry on the War againit us, that
because she does not supply Ships and Men, and
because forsnoth her Ambassador tells us that she
laments the. War, and is pacifically disposed, that
therefore we are to consider her as striftlY neutral !
Indeed; Mr. ADDINGTON, this is carrying what
you and your Colleagues call conciliation a little_
too' far!--,—lt was not formerly the'custom of Eng.
landto submit to degradation under plausible and
specithia terms. Complaceocy, mildness; and all the
half.vittues, on which you and. your Colleagues
pride yourselves so Much, are not the true and Ster.
ling charafterist les. of Englishmen--they are.ntit the
,qualities which placed inttipcin the proud eminence
on which we have long stood, tend if ever there was
a moment in Which they were itiapplicabie, it is at
.the time when you seem determined to trust to the
effeft of them alone.
