To Vie EDITOR, of TUE STATHS'AGIN.
Tsdis rem sise utiatee noster ewes
Shit,--••The want of leisure has I►revented my
sooner noticing an instance of the most fascinating
simplicity, lately exhibited by one of our " pis.
tolling Privy Counsellors, and which 1 am sure
prized has seemingly attracted so little attention
for I have seldom met with such a beautiful 'pee
clown of ►what the French call naive(. I ready
was quite ena►rioured with it, when I read the
above quotation under-the report of a speech doe
livered by the Right Honourable Geostoe CA,.
NINA, in tl;e debate which concluded by sending
Sir Feasters Iluttortr to the Tower.
It appears that Mr. CAmnftro, with the most
amiable condescension, was pleased, an that occae
slop, Jo afford thetestimony of his high authority,
to the extraordinary talents of the worthy Baronet 3
but what is more striking, considering that this
Gentleman's reputation for candour and sincerity
lately recpored the aid of a duel, is, that he
should declare the sentiment contains d in the words
of his quotation, which are those of my motto,
to be always ready to force itself upon his mind,
when the character of Sir Faancts CROW under
his high consideration.
As all the amiable candour so justly attributable,
in this instance, to Mr. CANNINa, is comprised in
the Valuable Latin scrap he has favoured us with,
it is necessary, for the benefit of these who do not
understand the language, to furnish them, as I
undertake to do, with a faithful translation. It
will appear unaccountable that.so few Latin words
should require such amplification in English, l►m&r
1 such is the fact.

It here becomes me to say, that I should most
willingly borrow the pen of the Ez.Sreretary, to•
product an elegant translation ; but I will emu.
Jenny, at least, appeal to his newly.acquired
candour, to bear me• completely out, as a scholar,
if any one has the temerity to dispute the correct.
ness of my translation, Which is es follows, in the
shape of a speech by the Right Honourable
GF.ORGE CANNING, winch I lament he did nut
himself give at the time, with the original Latin I
"Jaili cum sis, utinam nester ewes."
". Mr. SPEAKER ! When 1 reflect on the Iran.
66 scendant abilities of the worthy Baronet ; upon
" the inflexible integrity which has distinguished
14 every part of his conduct, public' and private ;
46 when I am obliged to acknoe ledge hiramiabla
64 qualities, and unspotted reputation, in every
66 relation of society ; when I reflect on this ir.
" resistible influence of suclt a character with the
" public, cvutrasted with the meanness, rapacity,
" and corruption, which have pervaded every de.
66 pertinent of the State.; when
•reflect that we
66 arc arrived at that degree of profligacy, that
6 conduct is openly justified in this House, at the
bare itseplion of which you say, Sir, our antes.
tors would have startled with indignation.;
when I duti/ consider, that as ins sad
Outs, 'WE could continue, alternately, to
divide, to the last shilling, the plunder of at;
insulted nation ; and when I perceive that the
Baronet, with unshaken constancy, and ut.
terly regardless of every selfish consideration,
6 declares he will persevere' at the risk of Wei,
66 and every thing dear to a man, in order to to. .
" scats his King and Country front Inch foul de.
66 gradation—considering, in short, the virttrei
66 talent, and courage of this formidable man, 1-
66 cannot dissemble my fears for the danger which
66 threatens pubW robbers, and am ready, from
66 the bottom of my soul, to exclaim, " .vtonzn
" TO HEAVEN', WE COULD BY ANY MEANS WHAT*
66 EVER INDUCE SUCH A MAN AS YOU, SIR rams.
66 EIS, • TO ABANDON YOUR • PRINCIPLE 4, ANIS
66 UNITE WITH ONE OF OUR FACTIONS!!!"'
Now, Mr. Editor) if I had been present in the
Honourable House, I should hate been happy on
this occasion, to have caught the Speaker's eye ;
and After most significantly shaking m 1 bead, and
bestowing a smile of the tenderest pity on Mr.
CANNING, to indicate that I could give him no
hopes, I should have delivered the following, as
conceive, appropriate reply, in the game of the
people, to the speech of the Eton scholar, to con:
since him that he and JACK FULLER have -not
all the learning •between them. If any of your
correspondents can spare time to give a faith.
ful translation of my speech, for I 'fear it might
trespaps too much upon Mr. CANNING' ata
tumneut when. ho is presumed to have all his
mind employed on the object of getting back to
power, and originating, *for the good of his coup.
try, another Walcheren xpeditfon, shall feel
much honoured.
