What could we boirdw but debased paper-money? What

could we bare but a paper-money openly declared never
to be payable in cold? Does lie think that any kesso
being will believe, that, if Perri Bill be repealed, tiers
will ever be another Peel's Bill? If he thinks this, be it

as weak as any of the poor creiy things that are sent

knows also that he cannot go to war tvith Fold pay;
manta, and this is all a parcel of empty blustering talk,
fit only to &mode the soil of Liverpool, and to wheedle
slang to their ruin some hundreds more of the land-
lords. But, perhaps, the fairest thought of all is ti at
it is unwise and not patriotic to speak of our inability to
go to war, lest the enemy should thereby be emboldened
to disregard our remonstrances. Alas! the enemy knows
the length of out purse as well's we do ; and, if it be all the
same to Mr. Huskissona would advise him, if be should

ever happen to be elected again, to keep such idle twattle
as this out of the newspapers. 1 cannot conclude without
noticing that the London Comae seems to differ very
widely from Mr. Hakim's. And this is a very curious
thing. That pap rof the 19th iost. contains an article,
manifestly intended to combat the opinions of Mr. Hos-
kisson. In answer to what he says, about "Parliament
and the country being unanimous in discarding all idea
of danger to oar peace and security front the Spanish
revolution;"—in answer to this, the Couture says," but
" surely, France may now say of Spain what we said
" of France in 1793; that by the Spasish Revolution, or
" circumstances growing out of it, she (France) be-
" Neves her peace and security to be endangered. She
" does in fact say this, sod, our eon conscientious eon-
" viction is, that, in so saying, she speaks the truth."—
To be sure it is the tailor and barber who father this
article; but it is not less certain that neither of them be-
gat it. I could almost take my oath that it was sent to
them very fairly written out, upon very One and strong
foolscap paper. Who wrote it, we =snot positively sap
to be sure; but l have not the smallest doabt that tber •
is:a decided division in the cabinet, upon this subject se
well as upon the subject of the Oraogetoen. It is lin-
possible to-blame the King of Fromm, Golsen meelisawswe
and reprobate the principle upon which we made wee on
the French in 1793. Look at the Kieg of Franoe's let-
ter to the King of England in 1792. Look at the notes
of COAUVIILIN and those of Ls Baum to Lord Grooving
in the same year. Look at the declarations in Parlia-
ment. Look at the ten thousand times repeated amerdsors
that se bad a right to go to war to prevent the conta-
gion of French principles. Look at the whole history of the
year 1793. book at the repeated assurances of the Preach
government, that they would do any thing that we asked
for against any body that should attempt to disturb our
peace. Look at their condescension in writing to Lord
Hrenville after the innumerable insults that they received
from him. Look at their Ambassador, absolutely driven
out of the country like a malefactor, when he in the most
friendly and even humble tone asked for an adieece.
Look at all this, Mr. Canning, and stand up if you can,
and blame the King of France. Stand up if you can and
call his an aggression against Spain ; do this if you car,
without execrating the memory of Pitt!—Yeu would be
in sweet difficulties as to this subject, if you bad say
man to tackle you. l thought, some time ago, that you
would have one to tackle to you ; but, alas! three days
of bellowing newspaper praise was too strong a tempts-
lion. He barered his vantage ground for that; and DON
is impotent as a mouse.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient,
Most bumble Servant,

That is the name of the tackler. He gives you so rest.
Kept you everlastingly upon the move; or else catches
you khapping. I was in hopes you would have Ita•I a
tackler in-doors. I said, as plain as I could speak, " yor
" take care of him there, and I will take care of him out
"of doors." Hut, the three data ; the three whole days
of bullocking, empty-scullod newspaper praise, way a
temptation too strong for my cock to resist; and there be
is with his spurs chopped off and of no more use to we
than an old ben or a young chick. I have heard lawyers
say that my intended cock is a speech-mikes and no law-
yer; and 1 can now say for him that be is a speech-
maker and no politician.
