TIIF.: KING.

The following article, from the COURIER of last
night, is worth attention. Our readers iiiiiiitjudge for
themselves, when they hale well considered it. This
paper's business is to lie, or to tell truth, just as it
may suit the purpose of those who employ the Taylor
and tt Barber that own it is part; fur, like the O/d
Times, it,is the property of a Trading Cumpnag.

" We have for some days knows that his klajesty has
had a fresh attack of gout, which confined him to his privatii
apartments. His Majesty. however, was able to he present
at the Council held on Friday. fur the purpose of arranging
the Speech to be delivered at the opening of the Session.—
Sines: Friday his Majesty has not been so well. and we un-
derstand, has suffered much pain from the gouty attack in
one of his knees. Hat reports were circulated ),e,terdiy af-
ternoon. and particularly last night. of a nature which. we
are happy to be able to contradict. There has been much
/ism in the part affe-ted, but no danger, nothing that conld
create any mimes Warm. The Right Honourable ir-
huthnot set off for Brighton yesterday morning. The latest
account that reached us before our paper was pat to pm!
to-day was—that there was nothing to justify the serious
reports that have been in circulation."

STOCI•EXCIANUE, IIiALF-PAST rsvistora.—At length we

THE ST,

ANNA BRODIE AND CO.

We have undertaken the good and necessary work of
exposing the character of the trading press of London,
which is certainly the vilest concern that ever yet was
carried on in any part of the world. Anna Brodie of
the Old Times ; her husband, the Reverend Doctor
Brodie of Easthorne in the County of Sussex ; Carden
of Bedford Square and Mary Carden, his wife, "not-
withstanding the covertnre" of the two women, were'
oil hang• up in pretty decent trim, with the seal dang-
ling to their names in our paper of Monday last. We
then took the pains to show in what way they had, by
their stupid and brutal publication,. the Old 7'imes,
ruined so, many, many families, by their positive lan-
guage about the peace and their swaggering about the
power of England to be employed in .preventing the
war. It is a duty to the public to lay before it now
and then when we have leisure, instances of the illi-
terate, the senseless, the groyelling stuff pat forth by
these people, and by others who carry on a similar
trade. •We fully described, on Monday, what' a set
of wretches it is that tarry on the trade. But,
some persons who did pot see the paper of Mon-
day may see this paper; and now we will give them a
specimen of the writing and of the mind of Anna
Brodie and Mary Carden, for, they are two such black-
guards in their language ; two such perfect billings-
gates in their writings; two such terrible termagants;
they call names so much more foully than any things
that we have ever before seen in petticoats, that we
are not disposed to treat then► with any degree of re-
serve, notwithstanding their covertnre. Old Walter
took care to protect them in their two-sixteenths
shares of this villainous old paper; this vile traffic in ,
paragraphs; but though he kept them and they keep
themselves from without the coverture, we shall not
let them go on with their billingsgate without speak-
ing of them in the manner in which they ought to be
spoken of.—At present, however, we have to do with
a piece of their writing ; a piece of that sickening
stupidity which they daily send forth, and which is a
disgrace to the. paper and to the ink and to the very
printer's devils that give it form. We will insert this
piece of miserable balderdash. We request our readers
to go through it, noting particularly the words which
we have put in italics. There will not be much need
of commentary ; but we shall bestow a remark or two
upon it.

" A calm, a momentary calm, has succeeded to the general
storm of indignation which was showered down when Par-
liament met, on the violent measure denounced by France
against thenooffendlng people of the Peninsula. We are
unwilling to interrupt this repose: would it may he of
good omen ! Tranquillity at least, It is said, affords op-
portunity for redecliJn. We suppose the Opposition ab-
stela for a while from pressing measures upon the House of
Commons, in order that the dfeet of the tole general ex-
pression of feeligg may be lemurs before (if we may use so
homely a phrase) the dose is repealed. This conduct, cm
the part of Opposition, will appear considerate and
prudent. Never, however, did such unasimity prevail
upon any tysiestiea whatever in this country, as upon the
iniquity of the principle promulgated, and that of the
course threatened to be pursued by the French Geveromeat
writhes* thelimmish nation. the eryefiddignatlon was
universal, and "the sound of it is gone forth to the ends
qf the earth." The King of Fulmer p d many friends
in this conntry; there was a favourable opinion respecting
his personal character, the qualities of his head and heart.—
What could his wicked eoensellore mean by putting such a
lq 'tech into his Majesty's mouth? Was it really their objeetto
snap asunder all the bands qf alliance which he had formed
during his residence among us, and to east his friends and
admirers into a perfect destitution of all the means of
defending him whenever his character was assailed, or
his claims impugned? If so, they have succeeded to
a marvel ; and it is only in his outipower to right himself
in the public opinion, by casting such counsellors from bins
These are the hopes which we cherish perhaps—with futile
fondness: for we must not disguise that the French papers
speak incessantly of the activity with whish preparation
are making for war; how regiments are marching (whose
hearts are but 111-affected to the cause), and ships put in
commlssicto. The Spaniards, we trust, are equally (were
we going to say !) aye, ten times more than equelly active
for how great is the object for which they are oontending,
compared to that which may have moved the wicked Ultra
Royalists to attempt the invasion of the Peninsula? The
Btitish Ministers, it is said, would Pave deelared their opi-
nion with much snore freedom—would have spoken out WM
much more frankness against the condnet of the French Go-
vernment, in theinvasion of Spain, if they had been jelly
aware of the extent to which they would have been support-
ed by the station at large. That spirit which they have
wanted in the Senate, we hope they will transmit to the sa-
loon, and inform, through their Minister at Paris, the Cots,-
senors and Ministers of France, of the deep interest which
the British nation takes in the fate qf the braze Spaniards
—an Interest which we are sure will not long suffer us to re.
main tranquil spectators, while the Spaniards are massacred
is Mei* homes by foreign invaders. The sentiment against
the injustice of the French is most intense and universal
among us at present. What will it be when the Gazelles
begin to announce to us the first.tempoussymiettesses of the
snook* of freedom Over star late allies, our fellow combat.
apt a and friends? With what groans °fagot, will every vie.
tory of the French, if victory they do obtain, be greeted
among us ! What self-reproaches shall we. not utter, that
we were absent, when by some little aid of our's the battle
might have beet saved ! Happily, also, the maxims of po-
licy coincide with the feelings of hamenity ; for, how inju-
rious lathe public interests of this country would it be, if
FIAMOCO were to overrun and retain Spain !"

Now, mark these foolish women. Their object is
to' *event the French 'from invading. Spain; and,
her% the way the Creatures go to work, is, to say
that we in England. shall hear of French victories over
:Spaniards with "groans of agony." Just as if that
is net the thing of all things to induce she Frenth to
persevere! Just as if they do not want to make us
utter groans of agony ! And, as if the two foolish
women had not said enough here, they must afterwards
add, " how iitistrioses to the pub/le interests of this
" e:outary would lit be if France were, to over-run and
retain Spain." Aye, to be sure it would ; and to be
sure the French .know it, too. But, you stupid vira-
gos, do you believe that to tell the French this is the
way to make them believe that it it not their interest
to over-ran and to retain Spain ?—There was a "storm
of .indignation," was there, showered down by Parlia-
ment upon the measure of the French king. There
was a great storm of abuse showered down. .Mr.
BROUGHAM ',omitted out pretty nearly as muck-abase
as you have vomitted out upon me ; and the most of
his charges were much about as true as your charges.
The famous " drops of blood" were Very much in your
style, when you talk about my " butcher's shop" and
my "paunch," But now, why_ should you think that
this storm would tend to "trast7willityt" You see,
your vomitting rpm me, from your foul lungs, daes
nut tend much to tranquillity. And sin this h the
case in this instance, why should you thidk that the
same will not be the case with regard to the storm of
Mr. Brougham?---.But, let us drop these stupid• Ind
impudent women, and address ourselves to those who
can.condescend to read their productiniss.74lle are
told here that it 4a.' supposed that• the. opposition
.s d. ,

LTESMAN

" abstain for awhile from pressing measures upon
the House of Commons." What measures, you stupid
creatures? What measures is the opposition to press
upon the House of Commons I—They abstain awhile, in
order that " the effect of the late general eapreasion q,
feeling may be known, before if we may use so
" homely a phrase) the dose is repeated." 'Oh, yes,
you may use so homely a phrase! Pray do not be
squeamish all at once. You can call villain, rogue,
thief, swindler, soul-murderer, butcher, and talk of
man's paunch ; and if you can do all this on account
of the Norfolk Petition, you may surely make use of
the word " dose," which, besides, fur a wonder, is a
very proper word for the occasion, seeing that the
speeches to which you allude contain a • real dose and
a pretty teattleol(S dose too; enough to disgust any
body that has not a stomach like yourselves.—Now,
we call upon the reader to judge of the folly of these
stupid creatures. The bent of this article is to cause
it to be believed that the disgusting speeches so often
spoken of,' together with the •newspaper clamour that
has been set up, will have the effect of preventing the
French from pursuing their warlike object. It is here
presumed that the King of France is to be influenced
by public clamour in England. These creatures for-
get that he is the sovereign of thirty millions of En-
rispeans, inhabiting the finest and fairest part of Eu-
rope. They seem to forget that he is not now living
op English charity ; and they really do appear to
imagine that the newspapers in England can almost
take his crown from him! Was there ever any thing
so burlesque in this world as to hear these sixteenths
of an English newspaper endeavouring to terrify the
King of France with the probable loss of their friend-
ship. These people talk of the " bonds or alliance"
that the King formed while he was in this country.
Why, Dr. O'Meara says, indeed, that there was a
newspaper here that did form a pretty close bond
of alliance with him ; that is to say, took his
money! That is the bond of alliance to form
with these traders, if you fella any alliance at all
and that is what these traders must allude to, or else.
they are drunk or mad. They very coolly tell the
King of France, that he must, " right himself is pplr-
" lie opinion, by tasting his Counsellors from him."
Now, we have been thinking whether it really be pos-
sible for any ten persons in this kingdom to be so
stupid as to 'believe that an out-cry set up by oar
newspaper* is capable of making the King of France
turn off his Ministers! Five persons would have
saved the two ancient Cities from being burnt by Er•
and brimstone ; hut wa have no scruple to say, that if
any considerable number of persons in this country
are stupid enough to give their belief to presumptu-
ous trash like this, it is a symptom that the nation is
doomed to destruction. This will be a happy instano:e
for Lord JOHN Rossatt to cite of the enlightened
state of the public mind. He, profound legislator,
produced an account of the increase of newspapers, as
a proof of the increase of knowledge in the nation.--
Now, as an increase of knowledge was to be regard .d
as a benefit, br-renily was the observation from the'
Ministers tliat, since sisokimmense bine& flowed from an
unreformed Parliament, why in Don's name did the
noble youth wish to interrupt the happy progress by
reforming the Parliament ? Brutal ignorance : that
it is which flows from newspapers ; perverted under-
derstanding ; false views; delusion; every thing that
Is false, every thing that is mischievous flow from this
vilest of all vile tribes. If there had been no news-pa.,
pees, how many families would have escaped ruin, which
have now been •rnined. It was by the means of these'
newspapers, that the Spanish bonds were brought into
vogue. These vile and lying news-papers puffed them,
pp into ims,,inery value, and became connected with their
*access. Thus the imposture throve. Thus peoples'
money was inveigled out of their pockets. We, far
our parts, cared very little about what became of the
money of gamblers; but we must do the New Times
the justice to. say, 144 conducted by Dr. Slop or Dr.
Devil, it did, from the very out-set, prove that this,
was a speculation in moon-shine. It was about the
month of July orAngust that this paper very clearly
proved that it was a mere chance if •ever the bonds
were paid at all. So that, the accusation of the'
',Verne's,' Chronicle against the ministerial papers, is
certainly unjust. But, what we wish the public to'
attend to is, the stupidity of these papers ; and parti.,
cularly of this vile trafficking thing, the Old Times,•
They have no positive information. They put on an
air of mystery ; an air of profundity ; as this paper
here pretends to know, that if the ministers had
known what a feeling existed in favour of the Spa.'
niards, they would have been bolder in their remon-:
strauces against the invasion of Spain. Here is de-
lusien again; for the conclusion to which this points
is this ; that, now that the ministers do know that
this feeling prevailS, they will do something or other
fir the Spaniaods: This is all false. The minister'
knew very well, tbat all tke stock jobbers were against
the invasion of Spain. They knew; of course, what
feeling they would deserve. They also knew that from
an inherent love et freedom and justice, the great body
of she people would be indignant et the, invasion of
Spain ; and that it would revive in their bosoms their
old hatred of the •French. All this the ministers
knew very well ; and they knew, too, that, though old
Sheridan was dead, there were not wanting clap-trap
orators, willing to sacrifice all pretensions to consist-
ency and common sense, for the sake of three clear
days of bullocking newspaper praise. All • this the
ministers knew; but what were they to do, when they
knew at the sanfe time, that the landlords were losing
their rents and the farmers their capital, and' that the
fate of Acrsost would be their's if they did not set to
work to reduce taxes, the moment that the Parliament
met; knowinif also, that here was a set of bullying
newspapers to doom to execration every man that dared
propose to do any thing short of paying the interest
of the Debt in gold!—Thus we have given another
specimen of the productions of this bait and mis-
chievous press. We quit the subject at present ; but
not :without full assurance that we shall find it our
duty frequently to return to it.

help relating one anecdote: Sir Godfrey, in the course
of his canvass, basing called on a little shop-
keeper, a native of the aister-country, the latter fX•

enderstaad that he is by no means singelar in his determi-
nation. A meeting of the Baronet's friends was held on
'Charade), evening, et the Swan Inn, when it was determin-
ed to support him. The Hon. Bart. assured the Meeting !:e t •
had reeeited so many promises, that he was determined to •
go to the po'l, but complateed of the intrlgt n. and si creel,
of the Right Hon. Member and his friends, *Melt priest med.?

of the electors appear at present uninterested in the contest',
it being carried on by two Whig Candidates," •
