is That there might remain to Posterity a Movement
of the City's reprobation of the Man,

. . .
Who, by the perversity of his genius, the incapacity of his mind,
and the calamitous hdiuence of the unhappy contagion
of his avowed madness in aspiring to direct
The Councils of the State,
Reduced, humiliated, and weakened the British Empire
in Asia, Africa, and America • and
_ _ _

Destroyed the ancient reputition and influence of his Country
Amongst the Nations of Europe ;
The Citizens of London, as a warning to all future Ministers
to avoid his errors,
Have unanimously voted this Bridge to be inscribed with
the name of
ARTHUR WELLESLEY."

THE EARL OF GROSVENOR
AND THE OVERTHROW OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.

With the reveries of that " pompous comical old Gen-
tleman," as Mr. Cobbett calls the real Universal Suffrage
Hero " Jerry Bentham," or with the Hallelujahs of the
Edinburgh " Scotsman" on the conquest of Turkey by
Russia, we should never have troubled ourselves ; be-
cause the first is an authority a great deal too wild for our
atmosphere, and the second has either from ignorance or
prejudice often maintained opinions, as to Free Trade—
over-population over- trading over-production—philo-
sophy of rent—advantage of absenteeism, and all the
sublime Hornerian, Ricardo, and Malthusian nonsense
and blunders, together with this affair of Russia, and
other things, as uncongenial to true English feelings, as
they are detrimental to the interest, happiness, and ho-
nour of England ; but when a man like the Earl of Gros-
venor comes forward with such sentiments, it is a differ-
ent affair. He is an Englishman, and a Nobleman of
great wealth, and above all, a modern Whig Borough-
holder. We are old enough to remember his display of
Greek learning in the House of Commons when Lord
Belgrave, by quoting a very familiar line in Homer, and
we wish we could suspect it was merely his love of Greek
that made him now rejoice in the overthrow of the Turk-
ish Empire ; but we feel too confident that it is a Whig
attempt to cover the indelible disgrace and contempt
which this event has cast upon the Government and power
of England. The existence and integrity of the Otto-
man Empire, has always been considered of great value
to the power and trade of England, and as a complete
barrier against the enterprising schemes of Russia in the
Levant and Mediterranean Seas, so much so, that Lord
Grosvenor's former friend, Mr. Pitt, armed, about the
time that his Lordship quoted Homer, to the amazement
of the Good-Men-Burgesses, in and out of the House of
Commons, to prevent the Empress Catherine from in-
vading the distant provinces of the Ottoman Empire.
The Earl of Grosvenor must know that with the Otto-
man Empire in the bands of Russia, as it now is, there
can be neither safety for our Trade in the Levant, nor
for our possessions in India, no—nor ultimately for Eng-
land herself ; and yet his Lordship, at a Whig Club, re-
joices in this event. 0, for the voice of Chatham to
strike shame into the bosom of this degenerate Whig ! It
is happy for the people of England that it was at a mo-
dem Whig Club, that such a declaration was made. It
will convince them to what degradation the Whigs of the
present day are prepared for the country to submit, as
long as there is a possibility of continuing the existing
ablates.—Edixburyk Monthly Examiner.
