MARQUESS IVELLESLEY.

We have all along said, that the Orangemen would
beat the Marquess. Let our readers look at the fol-
lowing pretty little lesson, which is read to the noble
personage by Daniel Stuart's paper of the night be-
fore last; that is to say, the COURIER! If the
Marquess's friends talk thus of his conduct, nothing
short of his last year's eulogist, Anaeharsis Cook',
can save him from his foes. It is, to be sure, either
brother Dan, the Taylor, or Barber Mudford, that
talks thus : aye! but, they do not utter their own
words! They are merely the organs, or (as SWIFT
has it in the " Mechanical operation of the Spirit,")
the vessels, or funnels, through which OTHERS send
the sound of their voices ! Those OTHERS know
well what they mean ; and, we think, that it is pretty
clear, that they mean, that the Marquess is to come to
England again. Yet, how is this to be, and the
Grenvilles keep their places ? Or, is there about to
be a general tumbling to pieces of Ministers and of
every thing else ? We have, from time to time, ob-'
served, that we thought the Marquess's, and more es-
pecially Mr. Planket's measures ill-advised ; but, we
cannot insert the following paragraph from the Cou-
rier without expressing our abhorrence of the perfidy
of it. This is a betraying, and a sacrificing of the
Marquess. If this be not disavowed, we shall think
the parties, with whom it certainly originated, ex-
tremely base as well as malignant. But, at any rate,
if this be to be the language of the London Cou-
rier, the Marquess cannot remain in Ireland. We
copy the paragraph word for word :

" The conduct of the Marquis of Wannesasv is, of course,
.• praised by The Morning Chronicle; but it excites much
" surprise and *wariness among the best friends of Go.
" %Transmit, especially as the Opposition Papers ingnuate

" exec distinct tunes that of the Cabinet. Twice have

" tie, yet the Law Officer of the Government, with the spirit

ASTONISHING PERVERSENESS,
The Morning Chronicle of to-day repeats, fur the
thousandth time, or thereabouts, its old assertion,
that the landed interest will soon receive relief from
the pr ,sperity of other classes. This is the delusion
of the day. It is intended to wheedle the landlords
along. Because salt-petre has risen in price ; because
cotton has advanced ; because hemp has risen, and
also tobacco ; because of these things, the Chronicle
has discovered that the Mortgagee will stop fro►t
taking the Mortgagor's estate fur half what he ought
to take it for. In short, such perverseness was never
witnessed before. It appears, however, to be the last
shot in the locker of deception. WEBB HALL ;
ciao with his four and a half per cent. ; over-pro-
duction with all its nonsense, have been driven into
the shades long ago ; and now this new delusion is
conjured up. If it succeed it will only make the ca-
tastrophe the more dreadful.
