TO THE WANDAU OhTli NUMMI.

" 1 gratefully accept this tribute of loyalty and af-
fe..tionate regard from the Inhatitants the Parish
of All Saints, Wandsworth, in the county of Surrey.
The love of the people is the best protection of Sove-
reigns.- A So►ereign hedged round with bayonets, is
never so free front ittspietniles as he, whose strength is
in the good-will, and whose assurance of safety is the
affectimis of bis people. The very security .that ab-
used custom or abused power renders oeceseary, be-
comes itself an object of torturing apprehension.
" Since I have been in this country, I have lived
Ire a pirate gentlewoman; I have had no guard
Wpich Royalty usually claims ; but I have not felt the
lons secure. My sleep has been as profound as if I
had been encircled by a battery of cannon, sr a long
line of drawn swords.

" No.faneen leas ever more easy of arrest to her
people than 1 have been, bnt this facility has not
vaned any diminution of their love, or their respect;
it bats rather asided to both. That age of ignorance
is *passed which made divinities of Kings; but suy ex-
perience proves that Sovereigns who are known to be
devotedly attached to the pnblit weal, may dispense
wMh au& of that eateriax ammonial which :kept
them aloof from the people, out losing their Vett.-
ration, or forfeltiag their regard."

Litt 'lathery is light enough upon tha wanes Of dig
awtol vv. st, to teach as a fine simple bat salatary.tretiss.
tar lisvited experience and confined observation art
sutficieut to nruve that evil is often one of the means of!
good, and that the seeds of tnisfort‘the often throw op
a harvest of happiness. MV life will littlish numerous
instance, of a moral retribution; tad will at the sante
I time pow. that there is more native strength in unpro-
tected innocence than in the most systeinatit falsehood .
or the best fabricated perjary.
" In the conspiracy against me in lio6, there was no
want of wellwoutrivird cirCatutstantial particulars, which
j were formed into a very plausible story ; nor dld the
tale waut the support of witnesses who had no scrams,
bosky about an oath ; but the whole fabric was no sooner
touched by the wand of truth than it dissolved into
empty air. The present conspiracy, in like manner, is
demonstrated to have been the deliberate contrivance of
falsehood and malevolence.
Where a country has been long governed for the be-
nefit of a few, it is not surprising that the people should
be clamorous fur such an extension of political rights, as
mar enable them to cited: that corrupt influence, which,
while it lasts, will more or less paralise the moral euer-
gies of those within the sphere of its agency, and finally
sap the very vitals of the tisnatitution. All political to-
ititutions. like the material fabric of man, are compo-
sed of perishalib• elements. They contain in themselves
the principle of decay, of which the agency, unless scrupti-
lously watched and carefully retarded, is never still. But,
how new linvernments ever see the necessity of early re-
formation! Hence they delay reform till it is too late ;
or too late to be beneficial. They either never intend a
reittely, or they procrastinate the application till it is ap-
plied in vain."
