•
Gonness, again 1 court thee, heal my grief!
I'm now, my evening homage come to pay ;
Sir FicA xi: stole cal like sell-convicted thief,
And left us all to ridicule a prey.•

It would have been the grandest sight on earth I
Gilt medals and blue favours every where:
While marrow-bur.es and cleavers raisid our mirth,
And BURDETT shouts convuls'd the ambielit air.

The Coaches marshall'd ip the Minories;
-
On To,.Ver-..hi1l were rang'd Pedestrians true ;
lourfNl4s held Knights on nags with broken knees;
411 Bedlam was delighted with the view.

With Mister Nrc HO LSO N and Mister. 4.zocx,
Was Major CART Wk IC T tO condua the van;
And Mister •Sheritf Wool); that worthy, Block,
Arid Mister Goonasuzai, that piousbelan.,

...And. there was a strange Colonel with his nose,
W RDL E'S proboscis also joiri'd the throng,
with others who the Ministers oppose ;
But, ah ! what an unlucky denouement I
We waited patiently till half-past four, ,
• Having, no doubt, to sec Ilan cross the moat; ,
At length we with dismay were smitten sore,
At hearing he had lurch'd us in a boat,
114 cup of expectation being thus dash'd,
An universal gaping, match took place ;
Each lluansrTir.a confess'd he felt abash'd,
And curs‘'d Sir F& Al 4 tz for causing such disgrace.
At length it was resolv'd we should proceed,
Pr; j;rma as design'd, though rather silly ;
lleing, alai! •a body witheut lead ;
And thus we inov'd from Tow'r to Piccadilly.

. -
but fruitless the devices we &splay 'd,
Insipid all without our Patriot Star ;
As we approach'd, how groan'd each blue-string'd maid,
Whet; she beheld her favourite's vacant car.
;regularly grand we march'd along,
rreethen should rigid discipline repel-
13.tat,hark, they cry " Lights; lights !" I'll join .the throng,
And leave thee slnmb'ring in ,thy lurid cell. .

This.viortby Reformer is said to be a Proprietor of a
"v4thodistMeeting.

MRS. mAnrg 'MT LORD FOLKSTOAE.

" As this pAriotic Nobleman has so completely
lost hicn,ell by his letter to Col. Wardle, I will,
out 'of; ab.rtlr troy letters, lay before the vublic
few of hts epistles, that the Reader may be better
able to judge of his condutt, character,. dud ser-
vices ! ! !

" As the following. letter requires litile or 'no il-
lustration, I snall'suhrin it with only this remark,
that• Lord Folkstone then knew that my letters had
been shewn about by Dodd, and that he; at Eliot
time, belidtre& that the Duke of Ket.t had seen
them. i '

" Feb. 'lB, 1809.

" DEAR 'NIADAm--The House was not inclined
to 'take your letters last `night, when I first wished
to produce them, and indeed it did not seem at that
time at all-important that they should have them.
Afterwards, however, something passed, Which-
made me desirous that they should be produced ;
but the 'Committee had broken up, and there was a
difficulty' in point of form. It was finZy deter-
mined. that some Clerks from the Bank, who are
hi the habit of 'examining hand-writings, should
compare the three letters of the Duke's, whicli'are
on the table •of the House, and be'exannued at the
bar on Monday, whether, in their opinion, they are
all-of the same writing ? If they say r yes,' I shall
be content--:-if they say no,' I shall endeavour to
get. you called in, in order that you may produce,
that packet of letters which you brought down yes-
terday. You must, therefore, hold yourself in rea-
diness to appear again on Monday, Unless you bear
from me to the contrary ; and I beg you,- in the
mean tirne,-to keep the letters in.your possession,
and not let any one whatever take them out of your
house: .

" Your's, in great haste,
(Sighed) " FOLKSTONE:"

" The next letier which I beg to introdite to
the notice of the Reader,- is of some ithportance to
the support of my book, as it speaks of a hundred
pounds which My. Wardle,,presented-(as Dodd and
VV,irdle infortoed rnej from the Duke of Kent to
Miss Taylor, for her services; but 'the Duke may
have a short memory, and now think it political to
forget his Goon DEEDS !

DEAR MADAM--I forgot to ,give you, at the
play last nights the inclosed, which Wardle had
given me for you; I therefore now send it to you.
" I also forgot to desire you to beg of .Miss
Taylor not to employ the 1001.•Wahich Wardle RE-
CEIVED FOR HER, and, as I understand, gave to her,
but to let it go to the subscription. It she has not
now spent it, send it tue, and•l will put it down to
liudd's.book.• It will have, 1 think, a much more
advantageous effe6t in that way.
I hope you got- away from the play without a
mobbing, and that, you are well to-day.
" I am, your's,- truly, -
(Signed) • " For..-EsToNE."
" Tuesday morning, half-past two o'clock."
" Of course I need not. begot you, if you send
the 1001. nute, to send it me under cover." •
" This letter, must convince the Reader that this-
political par.), wanted back the Duke's present of
tool. to swell out the subscription, which had been
proposed by Mr. Cubbett, and was supported with
such public enihu3iasTri. •

" Tine Reader will perceive, from-the perusal of
ibis letter, that Lord Folksione bad greatly interest-
ed himself in my affairS-, and was my principal- pri-
'trate adviser with respeztitb the suppression of my
last book.

" Harley-street, April 1, iBo9, half-past
twelve, morning.

" DEAR 'MADAM--I had not left my claret, but
my tea, and a pleasant company, an,l: was putting
on my great coat at the foot qf IVardle's stairs, when
I received your commands, in obedience to which
alone I reluctantly made up my mind not to call
on you this /evening. I. hope that neither illness
nor anger (for which I can guess no cause), was the
cause of the peremptory order I received, and which,
so much against my wi11,.1 obeyed. lam glad you
have-sent the letters ; I hope they were written fair,
and that you attended to all my,orders about stop-
ping and dating, and sealing, and, directing, with as
much attention as I have attended to y ours.--1 have
been perusing the paper AA hick • your legal adviser,
Comrie, .wanted you to sign. I see more re istin
each time I read it why you should not sign a paper
drawn up in that form ; but especially a paper like
that, so incorrectly written, and hill of abbreviations,
&c.—Beware of this man—l ' think he is no friend
of your's.—l will, if I can keep awake to-night, or
at all events in the morning, put to paper some
ideas on the subje&. In the mean time let me ex-
hort you not to agree to verbally, and especially
not to sign, any proposal hastily; and withoot con-
siderat on, My head is. not a cool one ; but
-think it cooler than yours ; and, at all events, the
delay -occasioned by your resolution, to consult me,
at least insures finite for refleotion. I will call on
you
.at the time which you will Llama. I hAve an
engagement 41 Biackfriars-Road, at three, which
will detain me some time; and either before or after
that, I must,go into the city;, but I will call on
you either at one or fivp, or at your dinner hour, or
early or late in the evening, as-will best suit you--
fix the time, and I will make my arragethents in
consequence—Adieu; I shall now go to bed: The
scratches in this letter prove how unfit I am for'
business now.—Let me hear from you, and believe
me, dear Madam,-ever truly yours,
(Signed) FOLKSTONE."

" The following lester will shew,,that Dodd was
not the only;person •who bad a finger in the book
which was then about to he published.
" Lord Folkstone acknowledges his anxiety with
respect to the manner mpettbris weie to"go into the
world, and-in this epistle gives'another proOf of his
friendship for the woman whose word he-now en-
deavours to lessen in the good opinion' of the
public !. • •

" FOLKSTONE:I

"The husband of the lady who is rk.amed •in the
following letter, I essentially served and in return
for my kindness., Mrs. kiderton was, afterwards
pleased "to 'Say that,she did not recoiled. me. Lord
Follistone, who was alWays upon the look out lot'
a political job, heard we mention my friendship to
Mrs. Elderton, and wade some endeavours to turn
. her husband's case to account ; he thurefore coin-
menced a correspondence with her, in the course
of which she tried to coax some money out of his
pocket, but in that attempt she tailed, as Loid
will do any thing but give, or lend, 'his money.—
The reach"- will perceive, however, by this letter,
that his Lordship ,was only a political visitor, and
; frequ nted.my house, in order, to obtain something
that might bring him into public favour.

" April 12.
" DEAR MADAM--I am not to see Mrs. Eldert-on
till this evening at you give pie some
di,:nef in illy way there- at seven ? Ido not think I
shall be kept at the House beyond this tune. •
".Truly your's. (in haste), • .
• FOLKSTONR."

" The whole of my next letter also confi, ms my
declaration, that I was made the instrument of serv-
ing'politicalmen with the means of obtaining.popu-
larity, by bespattering any grie they felt a disposition
I. to degrade or lessen in the estimation of the country.
" DEAR. MADAM-74 called upon you to :inquire
whether you had pursued thQ inquiry about :the
bribes offered to the baker in Church-lane, and-to
i beg you (if you have not) to do s`o without loss of
time. If pin. can give me any information about
that matter;send it we. My ervailt shall call about
six for your answer—he will bring it to Inc at the
'House. If y9u have not, yet dOtie any thing, pray
set about it immediately, as in case of an aojourritd
: debate (which I think mighty probable) 'it will be
sufficiently early to have this information to-morrow,
and I will call in the course of tie morning to bear
if you. have any to give.—Lost night was .tktodark-
est Pwas ever out in. I fell into
,the,
,duch by the
chapel, and lUckily did 'not ,break my neck.

" FOLKSTON E."

" It may be necessary for ine here to infovin the
reader, .that I repeatedly Mut:aced Lord Folkstoue
to take those letters back which he had :written to.
me. I made this .offer to him from an impression,
that he was a man of high honour, and that he was
incapable of a falsehood; but, alas ! I have been de-
ceivedeven in him.
! " ,This letter will Thew. the reader, however, that
I had no intention to make use of his letters in any
-improper way ; -but when my character and feelings
wete concerned, from the • villainotis prosecution
.that was instituted against me, I trust the reader
will think me justitied in having • called -in every
aid and assistance within my ability, to repel
the etteets of•Wardle's malice, and as Lord-Folk-
.stone:s. letter. was a very important document, in-.
support of my narrative, I was painfully ooliged to
give it a niche in the work. Had •his Lordship con-
tinued the Gentleman I once believed him to be, I
Should not have inserted these other letters, out of,
about forty, which, ikunlished, unti.t lessen him,
and raise we, in the estimation 'of tbe people ! !"

" lufy 17,,1809.
". DEAR MADAM—As I have no reason to think
that you will make any use of my letters, and as I
have no reason to be ashained of any thing in them
if yoti do, I have no wish to have them returned--
;.you are welcome to keep or destroy them, as you
please.
" With respe& to Sir Richard Phillips, I have
destroyed it ; and I wish you not to speak of it to
any one. My reason I will tell )ou when we meet
" I too have seen a paragraph in The Press about
Cobbett.--The whole is quite false, except the fad
• of the visit ; I am sure, it any thing of the sort had
passed, I should have recollected it, and I have no
recollection at all of the kind ; 1 am sure it is false.
In great haste; your's truly, I
