LONDON:
MONDAY. IPIIIII/JARY 92, 1819.

ft is now become the day of every Elector of
iVestminster, who raises his country's freedom, and
who feels for the character of the city of which he is a
member, to make a stand against the most enna,etel
attack on both that ever yet was conceived. It bus
been considered less hatardoes to enger with
ruiners's', ad ies of complex views sod distimi-
lar interest', bet brought together on some temporary
occasion, or for same purpose, which, if obtained,
laves the several parties regret •r shame for the
victory ; than with one enemy urged en by
a plain motive. The former is the precise ease at
present, in the contest now before or; but yet it re.
quirts vigilance and numbers to vsoquirh the coop*.
gated foe. To which of the confederated parties
would Mr. LAUB feel himself the Representative, if
be obtained she seat be is aiming at ? To the Whigs,
or to the Tories, •r to that which Sir F. BURIMIT
designates as se anomalous? Prejudice, Ode, and
some of the worst passions ef the henna Mast, are
apt to be mitt op in these contests ; bet one VIRTUE,
the love of LIBERTY, whenever that liberty Is
brought into hazard, generally prevails, and espy.
Melly la a lengthened struggle.
We could pilot out some individual, numbered
as in array against the body of &feeders of Liberty
and 'netters of Refovis, who would, we hope and
treat, be allicted to have any share of the triumph
.reigned to them, should their countenance of the
co..lition enable thews to obtain the io.be.lacnelieri
victory. No oration amid they eajoy—it would be
a conquest over their own interests and happiness,
and the main confederates would trees them with
neglect and disdain; they would nut share the mos-
tetion of pioneers, who go before an army mere-
ly to open a peerage for it—and in this ease
the enemy could never have committed any ra-
wages on the fair field of freedom, bat from this
species of 'nem:ferment. It woad be strange in.
deed that any Elector of Westminster, imbued with
one pellicle of democracy, should henceforward be
remiss in warding off the Jaeger which now threatens
to deprive the country of the fruits of a twenty or
more years of cultivation in the VINEYARD of
FREEDOM. The late schism, whose power to
harm is we trust over, has afforded the highest gra-
tification to the Aristocracy, who are so unwise as to
believe that a Government in which their distinct in.
terest predominates, is the best and strongest. It is
fsr otherwise in every State bat the despotic. If
Aristocracy prevails in this instance, Democracy will
be humbled, and perhaps hushed for a time. The
Friends of Reform may and will rally again, het
they will come to the fresh attack wider all ori.
ginal difficulties with the addition of new disad.
vantages.

In every contest between Aristocracy anti Dome.
crscy (the Mein pillar of every Stale rallioir itself
free), the letter has numerous mations thrown in Its
way, which never occur to the former, who con
spend as many thousand' to obtain its oltirtt as the
other con commend hundrelia.

Sts,—At the Windsor Establishment will moo
and., the consideration of the House of Commonest,
Monday next, and the allowance to be made to his
Rnysl Ilighnets the Doke of Yo■c, as having the
cesthdy of the King's Person, is likely to be a sub-
jest of dim:amino, it may not be improper to draw
poor *Hendon to the situation in which his Royal
Highness et present stands, as well es to the claims
be may be conceited to base on the cannery.
The theme which his Royal Highness enjoys, yea
ere on doubt aware, amounts to doable that skit*
icy of his Royal Brothers possesses, in addition to
which be is Colonel of the lit Regiment of Garde,
consisting of three battalions, Colonel in Chief of the,
60111 Regiment of Foot, and bolds the eppointment
of Commander in Chief. I would not willingly eons-
twit an error in estimating the amount of all thew
waren of income, bet it will not be difficult to as-
cestain It accorately.

Now, Sir, when the country is to be celled es to
grant a further increase to this greet revenue, it he.
Comes • defy almost imperative to review, impartially,
those pretensions which Isis Royal Highness is sup.
posed to have ; sod bower angrasioes the task, to
set against them his faults, and whet say be called
dis.servicts, and by thes bslancing between them,
past oil to the Public notice the tree 'startled's is
which his Royal Highness deserves to be held.
It has been usual, in the courtly language of these
who connect with the preseut high rank, the pr..
templive expectations of this illestoions persoo, to
attribute to his Royal flightiest alone all the credit
of that improvement in the discipline and regale.
tioes of the army, which. since the early periods of
lb. war, its 1794, has undoubtedly taken place ; and
this, considerable as I admit the erects to have been,
is, 1 believe, the sum of all that the most servile
adolatiou can bring forward. The day is past when
his merits in the field would have borne mentioning.
The joyous conviviality of private hears, the Isaati.
leas enjoyment of the pleasures of the table, or the
siring attachments of priests friendship, are not
grounds to constitute a claim on the country.
Now, Sir, I am willing and anginas to give every
praise where it is deo, and heartily agree in admit.
ting, that his Royal Highness has materially aided
and furthered she improwomeats I Wen alluded to.
11.1 I cannot forget that the situation of Commander
in Chief calls on whom fills it to do his duty, and
that these esertiows are no wore than such a duty,'
that any other Officer so appointed ought to have
done, and most have done the same; and we aro toot
to imppose, that the ernolomeuts and large income
arising from that situation, are only ism remuneration
of the great trouble attendant on the disposal of so
esteasive patronage us appertaitis to it.
Is every Secretary, every Clerk in office, who is'
active in the performance of what is his allotted
besieges, entitled to call for eatraordinary grantssod
seheard of allowances'

Is this then the ground on which his Koval High.
sees stands. or on what other ground is it ? If such
there art, I know them not ; I am actuated by nn
ill will, I have esperienced sin unkindness from him,
and should be glad to learn them; bet if there are
none, let es not, in GOD./ oame, be led by the iu-
cliniseions of the party in power, and the cautious
forbearance of the party who would be in power, to
add to the burdens of the country, in however small
a degree e grant of 10,0001. may effect them.
Bet, Sir, I have sot dose: I base mentioned the
services of the Duke—l am grateful for them. If
wetting was asked, I would stop here; bat I am
bound to disclose these eiscemstances which bear on
the opposite side, wad which I may be bold, bat I am
warranted, in asserting, are sods that, instead of the
tribute of praise. are deserving the severest censer*,
nay coetein materials for pebtic cognizance and Pas-
laments ry enquiry.
I do net allude to the disposal of Commissions
through the influence of a mistress, and the landing
himself to a disgraceful tragic. That offence be.
been punished, and the partiopatioo was denied on
the honour of a Prince. That honour differs, per.
baps, from the honour of a Gentlemen. I should
hese been content with the latter pledge. Bet, Sir,
I assert, that a fund has been raised by the
sale of recent Consatissions in the dray; that money
has been received and disposed of ',theist the au.
think)? of Parliament; if not under the sanction of
the Duke of Yana, open what authority kalif been
so disposed of? Tbs amount of this Is said to be
very considerable!! I aced not ask you, Sir, if
this is legal, or if it is constitutional ; if seek a power
be recognized in England, it *eight and most be look-
ed to, and I should like to legit answered. Farther
than this, Sir, I take topes me to afßrm' and I will
maintain, for I know it, that It hes been made a
condition on appeietieg to the Coloorley of a Roe-
meat, that a certain person should be the Agent,
and this not once, bat in leveret instances, and this
net in the way of a recommendation, bat a positive
condition—ter what peeps* I will not protease to
my. Now, Sir, if au Nicer, who for his services
receives the reward of a regimsint and most incur a
risk by ass agent, let him choose with whom be will
TIN it, and not be drive., against his iodisation to
• man whose desk may embezzle 100,0001. without
discasosv. Who can ho safe where inch irregularity
prevails ?

rhea, are acts, qr, which would not be borne in an
individual, but in • Prince are merits. I hope some
independent Member of the ileum of Commons will
take up this business, and the country will appreciate
his honesty.— Sir, your obedient Servant,
