fIGUT6.Iy PRIZE FEEDERS.

4siscsatiet,—Oo an occasion of referring to
'an Olaf Ile a dm ST./Timis for lists of baollif•p•s,
ley eye being cooed by a trail of levees, which think-
ing slight be calcalations, or aeheses, foe pa)ing off
the National Debt, bless, or Sinking Fonda, I pot
on lily spectacles. and found it to state t! At the great
Coaantander•in•Chief, the Doke of Wit.t.tnotor,
accepted a portion of Waterloo prize-money, equal
to 14,000 wee, rank anti file.

Very sorptising 14. ! Bet, Sir, among the heroes
of the 51t, the bottomed rile is, tbe stouter, the ewe
voracious. Theo, their dumpiest Coins, as.y, per-
haps, be a glattoo of four pogo& of beef.steaks at
one sitting, while at►ers of smaller strength sod ea.
libre, ouch Ins melt satiate.

Again, Mr. STATESITA,I. There an the greet
Prise-fighters end the great Prthe.feeders by see, as
well as by land. It Is, however, curious, that these
heroes of fighters and great fer;ders may very gene.
rally be found to be a choice race, culled from the
Rotten Borough influences; end, therefore, such
creatures as the H hie Captains Wnirecc,
Moor, Moons, Loouv, kc. are placed in situations
of becoming grand Prise feeders.
Now. Sir these great Captains may receive twenty
shillings s.dey, during plain sailing, end honest JACK
one shilling a.day, in ;alp sailing. Thus, is plain
sailing, a Captain is worth twenty JAW.
Look now, Sir, at the battle sod the conquered
prize. JACK has sweated at the great gun, jumped
from the forecastle on hoard the enemy, and takew
possession of the prize. Wuteett cannot be altoge.
thin hors de condit, but pretty well screened from
very hazardoes dangers, and without the bot hard
tasks of raging battle band to band.
New, Sir, sod now, Sir, carries the glorious feast
of prise feeding. The Most Noble Captain gets a
portion of, perils's, 10,0001., while poor bard.ficit.
log JACK gets for his share, very likely, not 101. Bet
why ought not one.abillingJACK to Wee his propos-ion
to the twenty-shillings Captain ? And why, when
Winter.' divides 10,0001., why has not bard.fighting
Jam 5001. for his share of prisa.money ?
STATssigAs, at this period the temple of JArus
QUAORINIONS it completely cleeed. N sib, east,
west, smith, nn mews of any bet holeyou PEACE; site
now, too, white Nesse and Coast Lath are arturi.h.
iog, it is, that we ought to project the full means to
meet the hurricanes of future war, and devise seas
cunning OM, Dars:••th or NATIONS.
I have read of a scheme of sending a doses of Ter!
saconqeerable fencittg.masters to challenge nor
enemy ; who, by killing dozes after doses, shall
quite extirpate oar foe. This ocerme, however, fails
to pie es, on assegai of the length of time to bobctos
them.
It is our bounden ditty to ;flint for the glory of
oar Kina end Country, and hereby I propose that
s vast number ..1 first.rate ships be built (a favourite
plan with Earl ST. VIOCIET) ; that, PO a naval

And that, should we bate a war continental, that
only by transporting 100 WELLINGTON', each Wet.
Limnos being, by fighting and feeding, equal (every
man of thee) to '21,000 rank and file, they would

Why, Sir, all Franco must, en their 100 appear.

P.S.-1 bad nearly omitted to say, that each

and in ease of WiaterLe's prise being 10,000;. that
DANDY, as the rigorous and ',trend rqwesentelire n(
a 1,000 men, should have so equal 10,0001. Also,
and likewise, that each Wau.tharox mast bars
14001. a day pay : sod that whoa war ends (which
infallibly oast be in as time) it la toy highly proper,
that each sod every of the 100 Wtt.ctstatonashoold,
