MR. CANNING 14NP THE MORNING CHRONICLE

As we are always willing t correct our mis•
takes, we deem it necessary to acknOWleUge an
error into which we have fallen, respecting the
hostility of The Morning Chronicle towards Mr.
CANNING. We conceived that this hostility pro-
ceeded from mere Party malevolence, but we are
glad to find that we have been under a miscon-
ception. It seems that The Chronicle has lately
entered into partnership with that truly laudable
Institution established for the curing of Ruptures;
that, in fact, the attacks on Mr.CANNING are covert
paragraphs and advertizements for the support and
recommendation of that excellent Institution;
and that when it accuses him of " sporting with
human torture," it only means to advise people
afflicted with.ruptures to procure immediate ease
by resorting to it for an operation. "This disease,"
says The Chronicle, "is one of the greatest afflictions
to which our frail system may be liable, and reduces
the patient to.a state of debility often endangering
his life, in case of two much exertion." These
words seem to have been literally taken from ad-
vertisements of the firm, in which it is understood
that The Chronicle has now a partner's interest.
On Wednesday last, with the sante purpose of sup-
porting the laudable Institution which we have
mentioned, The Chronicle bad the following pas-
sage, with the subjoined note
"4, EVery surgeon knows, and many ruptured persons, that
an operatio is only necessary under certain circumstances Gf
that disease, and that such circumstances are most frequently
produced by some unusual exertion, fatigue, remaining lung
in the erect postui e, or neglected natural effort ; and that
such an operation is not a cure of the disease, but only a-pal-
liation of the fatal symptoms. The disease remains nearly in
the same state as bei,re, and subjects the person so afflicted
to bear the inconvenience of a truss ever after.
" * 'llupture,—a disease occurring most frequently amongst
the labouring poor.'—Med. Diet.
" The operation is one of the most painful and the most
dangerous to life."

And, again, under the same ingenious form of a
letter, there is this day the following description
of the nature and consequences of ruptures, un-
less application is speedily made to those who are
qualified to treat them, meaning, of course, the
skilful Professors of the Institution alluded to, of
which The Chronicle is now a Partner, but cer-
tainly not a sleeping one, for it is always on the
alert to puff the firm, while it appears to be merely
engaged in party warfare or personal scurrility.
The following is the advertisement this day :

" Although in an ordinary case of rupture precautionary
treatment generally prevents its getting into a dangerous
state, yet even here it is surely a case for regret and solici-
tude, because, from unexpected causes, it is always liable to
a sudden and dangerous aggravation; hut when (ruin acci-
dent, force, or violence, it has •once passed into a state of
strangulation, there is not a case, as an object of surgery, in
the whole calendar of human misery, pain, and danger, that

so peculiarly demands our sympathy and assistance; nor one,
when treated with success, that•does higher honour to the
operator and his art. Surely, then, this is not understood,
or it would not be laughed at."
As the Public however are now let into the
secret of this intimate connexion- between The
Chronicle and the Institution for the curing of Rap-
tures, that Paper should no longer be supposed to
harbour any malice against Mr. CANNING, to

whom, on the contrary, for the interest of The

Firm, it redly feels greatly indebted, as by having
introduced OoDetsr's case to the notice of Parlia-
ment, he thereby gave it so apt an occasion for
detailing the dreadful effecrs of ruptures, and
indirectly pointing out the Institution which
is best calculated to afford the Patients relief.
Before we conclude this amende honourable, in
justice to The Chronicle, for having imputed
to it personal rancour, arising from the Litter spleen
and rerenge of the Party, on account of Mr. CAN.
NING'S late Speech, which certainly overwhelmed
them with defeat and mortification (we Were go.
rug to say shame, but that is a feeling totally un-
known to them), we beg leave to observe, that
RUPTUREINSTITUTIOU itself iS so respect.
able, and so useful to mankind, that we do not

think it stands in the least need of any puff-
ing, direct or indirect, by which its new Pal t-
ner, The Chronicle might attempt to recom-
mend., it, and to add oar sincere hopes, that
neither The Chronicler, nor any of its Political
Pupils, may be suffered to have any concern in
the operative part department of the Firm, for
as they have all been hitherto only known for
hacking and hewing, they may only inflict more

torture on the bodies of unhappy Patients in a

Chirurgical capacity, than diffuse Jucobinical poison

to corrupt the minds of the people in general in their

political province. IVe trust that we shall no
longer be disgusted with stale trash about the

Doctor, since The Chronicle itself has entered into
the Medical Profession, and must now be as soli-

citous to remove ruptures in one sense, as it has

long been anxious to produce them in another.
• We are induced to extract these Advertisements from
the Neffico-Political Chronicle for public information, as
well as to defend that Paper against the probable suspicion of
party malignity, in the case of OGDEN.

Yesterday the Duke of Sossax visited the Duke
cud Duchess of Ctf&ILMaLAND.

- .
Each new morn
New Widows howl, new Orphans cry, new sorrows
Strike Heaven on the face ! SHAKSPEARZ,

When sink the brave on Honour's glorious bed,
Or bends the hoary bead when fate commands,
or these a passing tear alone be shed,—
A passing tear is sill her lot demands.

But when the good, the virtuous, and the great,
Untintel? sink into a distant tomb,
'Tis then we feel the deadly shafts of fate,
And weep, uncensued, at the victim's doom.

111-fated Peer! no idle wish impell'd
Thy patriot breast to seek a foreign clime,
The tender wife thy soul so dearly held—
To sooth her anguish,, was thy task sublime !

And scarce returning health its bloom display'd,
Or wan disease its hagaar'd sway declin'd,
When the foul breach in Nature's Law wa• made f,
The guiltless to the Captive's doom consign'd.

"fulls then when dragg'd from Boulogne's healthful sky,
Torn from her helpless infants far away,
The mother heav'd a mother's anxious sigh,
And sunk to Parent-grief an easy prey !
_ _ -

Ah ! who can tell what anguish wrung thy soul,
When burst the groan which spuke her struggle: o'er,
Ah ! who can count the unnumber'd sighs which stole
From that sad breast, which knew no conifoit more.

In mercy, surely 'twas ordain'd by !leaven
That thou should'st follow if thou cnul,rit not save,
And soon the last blow Kati
Ere rose the Turf to deck thy partm.r's grave. ,

Thus sunk a Patriot, Whose ennobled wind,
of forq'd the sons of mankind h
o to -eg...e,
Its snitit independent ne'er - •
01 sold its peace to gain a Courtids smile.

And ah ' how lov'd, how much. revered he felt,
" goodly tree h ail hi; branches round,"
When future Sire's their future race shall tell,
A cold unomisteted ye shall not be found.

The poor man's tear his mornory Ilia!, recall,
out un', • 4,1 flow the Door aran's tears ;
No lir', i-r 1 i. Hospitable Hall,
Shut up hurl I) or the wretch in years.

To sou, htie po tolo's woe when fortune frown'd,
"l'ith heart and pity;ng eye he flew ;
N. loath,inue pride his looiest bosom awn'd,
The pride of doing good was all he knew.

Mankind shall mow that 'twas his fate to fall
A victim to the ihalice of a foe,
Whose 4! deeds the truodiling world appal,
Whose sh 111 be the cause of ceaseless woe.

Inhur.an wretch ! survey thy triumphs now,
Awl he thy hopes of mere. ever tied ;
Ten Orphan Babes each.morn to Clod shall bow,
And lisp for justice on thy tyrant head.
