what are we Its think of h ?.11111 is so plain, that
not another word need be said upon it. Not( is,
it necessary to say much hi the way of eiptusurev
as to similar little phrases, thrown out about the'
source of Lord George Sosmoior's revenue in the
' Danish Islands. The money is paid by merchant,'
and ship.omners. Well; bet what of that ? It is
money. It is paid by people under British sail.
It has cost the people of England blond and tree..!
sure enough to capture and hold the islands; and,
if it be right to collect fees from ships coining
into, or.going out of, those islands, why not bring
them to the nation's account; or, at least, give
them to persons, who are performing, or have per.
formed, something like real service to the nat;on ?
What reason could there be to give them to Lord
George Seymour? 11.1 w came Lord Castlereagh;
to select that particular person ? Could he find
no man, amongst all the thousands of old military.
I and naval officers, on whom to bestow such an
income? Nay, wky did he take a fourth part of
them front Old Captain i sr • 'aka!), Picknsura,
iv..
who has spent nearly a ntury in the service
of his countrya in order to give. them to his
unclr,-Lord George:seymour Let him answer
this question, if heVan.—But, it seems, his bro.
ther, GENLRAL STEW ART, receives. his sinecure
salary, as " Military Governor of Fort Charles in
" Jamaica:" it seems, that he receives his sine-
' cure of 6001. a year from the island! it is "paid
by the island." Does this writer mean to make
us believe, that the dirt and stones of Jamaica
pay him? Ha may; but, we know, that the sa.
lary is paid by our fellow subjects of the Island
of Jamaica; mad we alga know, that if they had
not that sum to pay bim, ur any other sinecure
man, they would have less need to call upon the
mother conntry fur assistance. In short, that
man must bare a strange notion of things of
this sort, who does not perceive, that this
salary, as well as all the other of the emoluments-5
whether they be called fees, or by whatever
other name they may ga, all come out of the
public purse.—Aud, supposing the loss to
be sustained wholly ".by the island." What
reason is there fur, what justice is there in, fasten.
ing this brother of bard Castlereagh, for
or, even for one year, upon the people of Ji.
who, probably, never saw, and never will
see his face? What had be done to merit it ?
What reason could the people of J.IIN.IICA see fur
giving their money to such a man for doing no-
thing ?-ILeader, mark the words " official
emoluments." That word was, I suspect, -intro.
duced for the purpose of avoiding the charge of
direct falsehood; for, I am very much deceived,
if we shall not find some pensions behind. Fur
that, however, we will t.!ke another
By way of conclusion, I must remark, that Lord
Castleteagh's salary of 60001. a year, as Secretary
of State, and his brother's salary, of 20001. a
year, as Under Secretary of State, have ceased
since my statement was made. But, I think, the
public will be pretty well convinced, th it those
places were not cosily given up. The brother's
duuble employment was mentioned by me before
it was given up, ur, to all appearance, thought of
being µinn up. Ile was, at one and the same
time, Under Secretaly of State in DOWNING.
STREET, and a General upon.the Staff in PORTO..
GAL ; and, it was his brother, Lord Castlereagh,
who appointed hint to, and kept him in, both
4trations.—What do we want more ? Is not this
enough ? Talk of being 64 misrepresented," in.
deed! Why, how is it possible to say of any
men, in public trust, any thing more than this,
which neither is, nor can be, denied.--Here I
quit Lord Castlereagh's officious foolish partizans,
fur the present ; but, if they stir again, I am with
them in a momeut.
Batley, Jan. libb, 11110.
New DISCOTEILT;•--We learn from Yakutsh,
in Siberia, that M. lIEDERSTRON has again visited
the lends dleovered to the north of Siberia., and
which are described, in the best maps, as the
country of Listickof, 9r Sannikow. This place
is found-to be nothing but ati island. But more
to the north, our new traveller discovered a
country watered by considerable rivers, and
which•appeared to form part of a continent. He
has inspected the coasts for 170 wersts, and
found them covered with large petrified trees,
heaped over eaebother in layers. The mountains
are composed of slate, petrified wood, and coal.
That country has been named New Siberia.
We understand that a very salutary regulation
has been adopted by the Packet Company at Do.
naghades, 'in Ireland. When three packet.boats
are detained by contrary winds at Port Patrick,
the remaining packet sent from Ireland is not or.
dered to Port Patrick, but to Portnessuck or Aril.
well Bay, according tw'circumstanccs, where she
is to lay to, or cast anchor, and send the -mail-
-Owe, to lye ionveyeti overland to Port Patrick,
from whence the mails then due are to-be convey.
ed to where the packet-boat may be laying, with
which she is immediately to return' to Donagbadee,
By this regulation there will seldom be More.tban
two mails due in Ireland at a time.
A Gentleman, of the name of AnctielAit., died
'lately at Liverpool, owing to•his having swallow-
ed, when a school-boy, an halfpenny, which pre.
_vented his growth, and after eery exertion, such
as laughing violently, sensations approaching to
self 'cation were frequently produced. • The even-
ing of his decease was spent amongst a large party
of his friends ; and the sertant hail opened the
door fur his departure when he fell down and ex.
pired.
Yesterday the remains of Mrs. Cnclogae, the
mother of Lady Ilamiltoo, were deposited in a
private vault under Paddington Church. •
Sixty chests, containing productions of a
led during the late war, have arrived at Pa.
