THE GREAT LORD.

The following letter, circula, ed in bordeaux.
and transmitted to us by an attentive corresp ON.
dent, indicates that the Royaisss 'thems elves be-
gin to be tired OF the Hero whom they have so
long and so Oft en- sxtolled to the very sky. The
energetic measures which have followed the Vic.
tories OF Lord Wellington, and especially the
heavy contributions levied unfortunately on
the trends and on the opponents of the Bou r.
bons, have probably produced this change of
opinion. The .fsrvid enthusiasm of men who
praised, and in some measure, adored the Gene
raj to whom the prostration of their country is.
chiefly attributable, could not last long But to
the letter in question.-We translate it ter6afin
"My Lord, ,-.-- ~.
4" You can not be ignorant of the sincerity and
| humility with which We have for some wears
past, professed ourselves the warm admirers of
your Lordship's high qualities and heroic vir.
tues We have eulogized, in the loudest notes,
those qualities and those virtues our praises
still vlbrate onlthe ears of nations. After the
example of our glorious Monarch, the worthy
descendant and heir of Louis TX, Henry Nv, and
| Louis XIV, we have named you the Deliverer of
France, the restorer of the Lilies, &c &c-in
short, we have sung your praise on every key
inprose and in verse.
Such devotedness on our part. My Lord, deser.
we'd, IL not your gratitude, at least, your ndul.
gence We have largely paid the amount of
your services IN admiration and in panegyrics-
which, in the eyes of such Hero as you are, Nv
Lord, ought to appear more valuable than all
the gold and silver, which YOU, as the chief Re-
representative and agent of the Allied Powers, con.
tnue to exact from ns as well as from the Friends
lot the Usuiiper We might with great justice
My Lord, expatiate on the impoic of your mea.
sures IN this respect-But, as we now appear be-
fore you in the modest character of Petitioners
we content ourselves with supplicating your
Lordship, not to tax at once both the candor and
the purses of Frenchmen-We have pad YOU
abundantly in the way of compliment Let, there
