NEW POLITICAL PROJECT.

In the late unhandsome discussions on the question of
Supply, urged by those squibs and crackers of opposition so cruelly
appended to the Minister's tail, the immortal majority have most
honourably manifested all the horror and indignation which every
liberal and upright member of a Senate should feel, when coons-
macious and niggardly fellow-subjects—too long permitted to
breathe under so fair a government—hesitate to aliment a source,
from whence Sows an annual stream of pensions so flattering to
persons of merit, so acceptable to those of costly habits.
A Gentleman whose soul and body appertain emir to the new
band of brothers; of little stature but colossal loyalty..-wbose beast
is the King's—his conscience the Duke's—his fortune his wife's—
and his Innen—peradventure the Sherilrs--whose carriage wheels

are greased with treasury anti-attrition, and who is said to have
lately been appointed Chamberlain to the Grand Archonte, although
report also will have it, that his wife alone is decorated with
the key 4—this prodigious voter—in 'an assembly of the sacred
phalanx, convened in contraband to consider the cause of our
present distress, and the means of extinguishing it, together with
the national debt—after clearly demonstrating that all the evil
arose from the great mass of our cerfs having learned to read, and
accustomed themselves to the ruinous luxury of clean shirts,
and two meals a.day ; suggested the following expedient :—That
all those idle persons now importuning parliament for relief in di.
vers counties, be forthwith marched against, attacked, and captured
by Secretary PEEL's new foot guards blue, and that these rogues
and vagabonds, professing themselves destitute of food and employ.
ment, be thereupon, in conformity with a luminous conception of
the great SANCHO, first King of Barataria, arraigned—chained.—
whipped—shipped, and straightway transported, and disposed of
to our worthy much-beloved allies, Dom Alioum., and Don FER-
DINAND, for the purpose of re-peopling the towns and villages of
Spain, become, under the auspices of MITTZIINICIFI and Company,
the exclusive abodes of screech owls and Jesuits. That the privilege
of this trade be alone ceded to the East India Company, as indemnity
for the loss of its charter; or secured to the ill-used people of Liverpool
in reparation of the ruin entailed upon these honest speculators by
the unfeeling sacrifice of their trade in black bipeds front Guinea.
That the revenue of this white commerce be applied to the relief of
those who most severely gofer in these timer of general distress—
namely, his Majesty's Ministers—his Majesty's upholsterers—de-
corators, and decorated—his Majesty's Guards—and, above all,
His Majesty's Pensioners; to which proposition the sworn con.
federates acceded near. ens. Elated with success, he farther sug.
gutted that his Majesty, in support of his dignity, and the tights
of his Nobles, be seriously admonished for his present inactivity;
and that, in imitation of Charles the Xth, he furthw ith amount on
Ho recheck, to convince his subjects they are in the wrong Box,
when they would Noodle and Doodle him with petitions Instead of
according the supplies armory for himself and—the emforify
that the great Regenerator be urged to accelerate his grand
plan of retrograding society to those happy times when Kings
were kings, and people pleased with burdens ; that, on the other
hand, his Majesty in future questions of Supply, be advised to
profit by the example of his great predecessor, Hasty VIII.,
of blessed memory—and here producing a volume of the
Foreign Review, be read an extract front Rudhart's Life of Sir
Thomas More, relating how the said blessed Harry, having ad.
dressed himself to his Psrlianient for • Supply, which it teal-
krone?, hesitated to accord, "be sent for Edwina Montague,
one of the Members, who had considerable influence in the
House, and he being introduced to the presence, Henry called
out—" Ho! Max! WILL THEY WOT 51/TFILII MT BILL TO

kneeling before him—" Gay MT BILL PAILZD BY TO-MOR-
ROW, Oa Zile IT TO-MORROW THIS !MAD or rocas

Bill actual! pawed."
Sanely had the little gentleman finished the passage, when the
phalanx reiterated their applause ; and sighing, with tumuli' spark-
ling with • ray of hope, they exclaimed —" Good old theses I"—and
mounting each into his coach in waiting -- Isere splendid since As

Apsley-bouse, they contented themselves with submitting them to
