FITIMMED Fatzno—Upon thine election to thy
rrescot °See. and when the infatuated Livery plated
thee •:here Robert Waithman should have been placed.
and tins iiitgra:ed themselves, I formed an opinion of
thee, grounded upon experience and a knowledge of
the Inman mind, in which I regret to say I have not
Dee:. iseeeived. Although burning shame and prosti-
tution are city attributes, still I thought thowsreet out
lost to all feelings of shame, and might m lesst have
entertained some respect for the sex of thy mother.
Thou wilt conjecture my surprise was not great
when I found that, at a late entertainment, where
thine office placed thee in the chair, as thou hadst
none other claims thereto, the newspapers stated thou
didst refuse to toast the health of the Queen of Eng.
land,—yea, Friend George, refused to toast a female,
whose persecutions alone should have endeared her to
every honest Englishness. and to slur over the cry
of Quern, Queen, the Queen by introducing the

Ou'te of York and the Anny. Yea, Friend Ueorge, I
must Llash for thee; didst thou conceive there was
more morality and virtue in thy substitute than in the
cum', or didst thou dread the castigation of a certain
Alderman and his precious junta, or didst thou
think it might become a bar to thy vanity or
the first step to a title. Yea, verily, Friend, thy
vain-glorious hopes have made thee ridiculous.—
Thou shouldst not have forgotten the fable of " The
Sick Lion ;" thou shouldst not bate kirk'd at the
v: ors ! Although I do not approve of feasting or
toasting, and look upon them as ageless and expensive,
still, as it is a law founded upon custom only, it should
be followed up with decency, and not be converted to 3
scene of insult and degradation to the wife of that King
whom thou and thy confederates affect so much super-
Abundant loyalty for. Thou must excuse my frank-
ness, 'tis a way I have ; and though I wish to serve
thee I'll not flatter thee; I expect little improvement
from thee, and I shall make as little ceremony in call-
ing thee to account for thy political imbecility, and
and will stick as close to thee as a lawyer to a rice
client, until I make thee better or worse in public
estimation.
't bine office will no doubt involve thee with some
party, as thou art not of sufficient importance to
to strike out an independent course ; and as I expect
thou wilt be made the instrument of some petty in-
trigue, I shall carefully watch thy movements, and
prove to thee what truant boys so much dread when
their hands and heels involve them in more mischief
than their head or understandings can extricate them
from. Now, may the deluded stupid Liserymen who
supported thee take an earnest of the materiel thou art
composed, and pretty plainly demonstrate the course
thou wilt take in a certain immaculate assembly.
Still the eyes of the empire are fixed upon thine office,
and thy conduct therein has attracted the public cen-
sure and pity. To find 6 B— insult the first
Female in Europe, is a sample of weakness, ignorance,
and cringing servility, worthy of a Turkish Nebo, or
tender-hearted Algerine, whose motive is too flagrant
teen to escape the notice of him who, 'tis hoped,
