Journals, with very few exceptions, most prodigally
dispense their ahu•e of the French, eml of the person

It was natural that Naeoteore should attenipt to
regain the Sceptre he had lost ; tor was it less natural
to suepose, that men in their senses, breathing
vengeance and professing personal ancour against his
very existence, should, aware as (lay were of his sues

count for ; nor can it be rationally accounted for
without suspecting that treachery had mixed itself
with incapacity, in order to ensure the return, to
power of a man, who all pretended should be
destroyed as his destructioet could alone ensure the
peace of the world ! Such was the more than papisti•

lidence of the nation at large in the justice of this
atrocious anathema, that in order to furnish Govern.
meat with the means of accomplishing this ssr-at ob-
ject, it submitted to the most painful self.deniros ; but
instead of procuring for the 'intim, the security which
had been promised, Ministers have not, even at the
expiration of nearly 12 months, procured us peace.
On the contrary, desirable as it is, we sese no pro.
spec: of its being consolidated ; and it would really
appear from recent occurrences, strange as the aster•
lion is, no-withstanding the expensiee parade of re-
lays of Envoys, Ministers Plenipotentiaries, and
Ambassadors ; Clerks, Secretaries, and Messengers
at each station, that Lord CAsTLEREAGII only bagged
the fox for the luxury of another hunt, in
which it is 'possible some of the Crowned Herds may
share the fate of the BOURBONSoiiihout exciting the
compassion which is every r. here felt for those unfor-
tunate Princes. The guilt of Ministers is so evident,
that it is difficult to account for the silence of those
Journals who bellow for war, on any other ground
than that they are hired and paid by Ministers to
divert the public attention from their delinquency by
loudly vociferating the country is in danger! Ths
silence of Parliament is no less extraordinary, in not
calling upon the Executive Government to satisfactorily
explain to the nation the causes which have so suds
delay, though not altogether unexpectedly, placed
this country and the Continent in a worse situating
• than Which she was before the severe winter of 1812,
and the selfish defection of the Allies of France,
exposed her to the invasion of foreign troops.—Lns
! deed, this silence is in some degree accounted* for
by the consummate insolence with Which Lnrd CAS.
TLEREAON appears to treat the House of Commons,
while theiriame acquiescence with the unprocedested
condeet eY this Minister, 'offers a melancholy pre-
; sage of what we are to expect from the energies of
of men content to .be silent and submissive audi-
tors to claims and pretensions, which, in the reign
of CHARLES TILE FIRST, or of JAMES Tilt{ SEWED,
would have consigsted Ministers to a fate very little
like that of triumph. Before our Journalists vent
i their venom on the Emperor of FRANCE, they should
first call for justice en the political offenders in this
country, who have again exposed the nation to the
danger of another war, which will probably have an
issue very different to the one which terminated last
April, and which might, if ability and integrity
had conducted it, have ensured a long and happy
pence to humbled, degraded, and exhausted Eu-
rope! Lord CAsTLEREAGII will; obsequiously and
unjunlgingly cheered with loud and repeated accla.
mations in the House of Commons ; from whence,
he ought, by the rules of the Constitution, to have
been expelled long ago; but . the superior in.
fluence of one branch of the State seems to bate
absorbed almost all the public virtue of the country,
and that branch which has only a concentive
power of action, with a House of Commons so com-
posed, sustained as it is with an army in its rear,
may be said to be masters of our lives and fortunes.
With respect to the BOURBONS, if it be the intention
of Ministers to plunge the country into war for the
solitary purpose of reinstating them on the Throne
of France, I have no hesitation in asserting, that such
a-measure, after the decided expression of the French
nation in favour of NAPOLEON, would be a most
flagitious and unpardonable outrage, not only
to the French nation, but to the present Family on
the Throne, who owe their elevation entirely to
that public voice which in England dismissed the
STUARTS, as France has since dismissed the Boc/R- •
zoos. To intermeddle with the choice of the French,
now that they have unequivocally decided in favour
of NAPOLEON, would be a libel on the Revolu-
tion iu this country, in 1688—on the Bill of Rights,
and on the very loyalty we profess, and condition-
ally oWe to the Illustrioui of House of Brunswick.
Sir, -it seems to me, that Ministers have forgotten,
and with them this deluded nation, that geteius on a
e had a large supply or' Throne commanos respect, and if guided by urbani.
ad Sufolk; and early is ty and judgment, which in this sense is only another
