EMOLLIENT VEGETABLE SOAP.

IN this SOAP is introduced VEGETABLE
OILS and HERBS of the most approved emollient
qualities, as likewise extracts from Flowers of the purest
fragrance. The skin, by its constant application, will
become perceptibly soft anal clear, and the unpleasant sen-
sation derived from sudden changes of climate and seasons,
as well as the harshness which it generally acquires from
sea-bathing, will speedily be removed ; besides the above
advantages, its peculiarlyagreeable application has obtained
it the favour of the Nobility and gentry, whose unequi-
vocal approval emboldens the Proprietors to engage for its
permanent reception at every Ladies' toilette, if once used.
Made and sold at Is. It square by Rigge, Brockbank, and

TO HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF

WELLINGTON.

OCTOBER 14.

My Lord,—To question your \infallibility
would be, no doubt, presumptuous. The laurels.
you-have gathered, the reputation you have ac-.
quired, impose on the great majority of the Eng-
lish nation. - You have been told, until you
must be weary of the assertion, that you are the
greatest General of modern times ; you have
certainly been the most fortunate. Ancient
history cannot supply a hero worthy of standing
on the same pedestal, except Cxsar,—him you
have surpassed in the field ; you now aspire to
excel him in the cabiwet ; let us hope that the,
attempt may not demand the same expiation.
The work which is to rival the Commentaries
has yet to appear ; • but the incomparable de-
spatches from the'Penitisula, the eloquent letters
which have appeared, written by your Grace,
leave no doubt that as an historian the unhappy
Dictator will be eclipsed. As an orator, you
already surpass him,—your style is certainly pe-
culiar ; it would not be easy to say to what
school it belongs, but it always convinces the
bench of bishops. Caesar had the misfortune to
have received an education ; you, not havinc,
had the same disadvantage, have been enabledt
to attain that rhetorical perkction by which

" You trample on the Greek and Roman glory."

An error had generally prevailed in Europe un-
til January, 1828. It was foolishly supposed
that some little knowledge was requisite to con-
stitute a Minister of Finance ; and that political
economy was not a science to be acquired by
inspiration. Your Grace has proved the fallacy
of those opinions. In the 60th year of your
age, you assume the post of First Lord of the
Treasury, without education, without knowledge,
with Finance. To prove your omnipotence,---to
experience in any department connected
demonstrate your efficiency,—you confer the
place of Chancellor of the Exchequer on a flip-
pant clerk, to whom no one can attach even the
suspicion of intellect. If, by any accident, you
should be trayeil
accuseG the tempter : into plan of Finance,
no one will
the responsibility of superfluous knowledge must
be divided between Lord Bathurst and Vesev
Fitzgerald. If any one • should feel dubious as
to the integrity of your Cabinet, are you not as-
sured by the presence of Herries ? If temper
and dignity are sought for, Ellenborough and
Peel atford ample securities. Our present situ-
ation is one of no ordinary difficulty. Do not
suppose that I assert (according to the usual
tone of alarmists) that we never were in such
danger and distress: I leave 'this theme for
the Cobbetts .or the Hunts. But was such
a Cabinet ever palmed on a country ? What
barn can produce such a company of strollers ?
Can you fill all the parts of the political drama
yourself ? Is Ireland to be calmed,—is Russia
to be arrested, by your single arm ? Is the
small-note bill to be carried into execution next
summer, and the same amount of taxes levied as
before ? There is no department of the State
which at present does not demand talents and
judgment of the highest order, and what talent
ex which is not purely
can your Cabinet ex
military ? Tie University of Oxford will ex.-
claim, " Mr. Peel.' I appeal even to the Chan-
cellor (he is a Cambridge man ; did .he belong
to Oxford I should despair indeed), if he can
conceive any thing more ludicrous ? Were there
formerly any doubt as to Mr. Peel's utter in-
capacity to lead the House of• Commons, or
fill any commanding station with effect, his dis-
play on the bill for repealing the Test and Cor-
poration Acts must remove it. Pomposity
with-
out dignity,l verbiage without e equence, volulii-
lity instead of fluency, and coldness .only relieved
by flippancy, or ill-temper, constitute his merits.
This iol• • nn..al trader appears to comparative ad.
