We will not animadvert upon time indecent and
intemperate style of this " Humble Petition ;" a
perfect sample of the impudent cleverness with
which obscure persons think they can throw their
filth over• the Royal Station. Its false allegations
arc even more offensive : and what answer but
such as was returned, could be given to not only a
sweeping ill•mannered censure of the PRINCE
RRGIINT'S Government, but to a Document
which, in defiance of truth, and in the face of
common sense, asserted that the war for our

existence ,as a nation, was , unjust in its com 7
mencement and irrational in its object, (Why
did it not add, I inglorious in its 'conduct and
termination)--that our subsidies were lavished

their neighbours, (where is the instance i)—that
our Paper currency (now above par with the
guinea !) was delusive—that the Civil List
(which has been much reduced) was increas-
ing in magnitude and mis-appropriation—that
the expenditure of every branch of the Govern,-
meta wits lavish and improvident (when there is
not one branch in which there has not been, some
