The Oppositiou Writers continue to represent the
hospitable entertainments given by- the -PRINC2.I of
WAtas, as' Party-Meetings.; and they now carry
their confidence so far, as. to impute Speeches to His
Royal HighnesS, whkh it is evidently impossible
that he could have deliveud. The Writers alluded to
can have no idea of filial duty, otherwise-they would
not slander the tharader of an illustrious Prince,
by representing him as active in his endeavours ro
instigate an Opposition to a Minister chosen by his
Royal Father—a Minister who saved the
Etnpire
from a Re.volutionarTStorm, and to whiun Public
Confidence is dirdied, in expectation of those mea.
sures which will assure its security.and honour...-.
We. think it our duty to repel, with indignation,
these shameful- attempts to ,degrade an Illustrious
not, .will hereafter add
Character, who, •we doubt
lustre to the British 'l.:hrone.
