Princess of Wales, had been guilty of a
IL must have occurred 10
that portion of the meeting whO are still
Eng iiShmen, wh0 met at las Bs,taunic
Majesty's Consuis office, IN Broad street
Oi New orb, where lJe address of COLI
dolence was passed, that the young Priu-
cess made her escape from her Fathers
Palace, to- avoid ms Che Prince Regenrs)
treatment, andihose under him, 10 her;
She was compelled TO eniure not only the
company ofa dlsasr, cable old woman who
MAS an enemy o! her mothers, bat her Ill
usag,. also-shc that bad never been cut
alone, and never walked the streets of
London bv herself, wisely sought her
safety by flying to The protection of an
injured and innocent mother: this she
did by gong into the streets and hiring
"a hackney coach 10 take her Ia Black
heath, where her ,affecioDaie mother re-
sided.
Taking as we ought the above ciS-
cumsiances into our consideration we
highly disapprove of voting him an lad
dress of confidence" on lie death of
good and amiable daughter, that he
the Regent had SO cruelty treated while
alive.
Because we cannot on the present oc-
casion avoid making some observations
OH what the aduaiory, fawning, and ss-
cophantic address of interested men, a.
mongst whom are those wbol,ad disown-
ed tlieir country, and taken false oath
of allegiance 10 The American Govern
ment, say of the " star OF Brunswick
which llas!lishted ii eng land) 10 its present
| p,eem'nence III Glory" III!
Because we cannot see The glory OF be-
| ing plunged in debt upwards OF ihou-
sand millions of pounds, taking from
the people ioriy-tive millions sterling
yearly TO pay IFS interest-Me cannot see
that IL is GLORY when four millions of ohr
countrymen are paupers, accustomed by
unjust, unnecessary, and bloody wars,
entered into by the Boroaghn.ongerS ihro'
| the medium of The king, and not by the
| people, who have TO deiray the expence
| 10 force upon brave nation a family
| they authoritative cannot see that ii is
| GLORY, TO have been the cause of restor-
ing the Beloved Ferdinand" and with
him iae inquisition. which Napoleon had
| destroyed-we cannot see that ii is GLo-
RY, 10 keep a nagnanimous and con-
| Guered foe, close prisoner at ST. Hele-
ma, in time of profound peace, for no O.
| ther reason, than, that we have The pow
er TO do tive cannot see that it is GLO-
RY, for The people of England 10 be taxed
| TO support an army OF merceDaries, To
| keep on the throne of his blood stained
ancestors, Louis the eighteenth.
| Because we cannot see that it is GLo-
| RY which compels so many of our coun-
| trymen to leave their relations, their
| friends, and all that are dealto them, 10
leave what is sacred 10 every BritoD, his
| country--to seek in the cities and wilds
| of America that protection, liberty, and
comfort, which is not 10 be enjoyed in
our own country. We cannot see that it
Is GLORY for such men as liverpool,
Sidmouth, Castlereagh, Canning, and O.
theirs, 10 employ spies and informers in
| all parts OF the countTy-to spduce tie
| innocent and then bctray them, as has
been done aud acknowledged BY minis
tiers themselves, in order that they might
| hold their usurped and unmeriied places,
pensions, and sinecures, at lie expense
OF an industrious, though starving peO-
pie. We cannot see that II is GLORY iii
those ministers rewardlng their spies with
offices as cousuls al foreign courts, AS they
lately have the miscreant Reynolds, well
| known as the notorious informer i'm Ire
land. And lastly, we cannot see the GLORY
OF that system under the I" Star of Bruins
wick" which causes men, and English
men, TO be put up by auction, on a Satur-
day evening, the same as the black slaves
in the southern states Of this country and
the West Indies.
We not only object to the above uea-
sures, Stated by the addressers of con
dolcnce TO be The glory of Great BritaiH)
but we assert that different system
ought 10 he adopted; system of econo-
my similar TO tile one used in this happy
country, where from recent experience
our minds are impressed with the fullest
conviction of the compatibility of strict
economy with the amplest means of matt
onaL glory, and of the perfect consistency
OF plain and well-regulated system of
government, with pure administration of
justice, Which in the great simplicity of our
understandings, We take 10 be The Honest
and successful application of the power
and resources of nation 10 lis own real
Interests.
Mr.. Clark in reply to an observation
made by one of the " sons Of corruption"
who recognised him as the president of
the spa Fields meeting: said, that II was
not because we had crossed the Atlantic,
that The attachment To country vas di
minished; no what, he would ask, would
be said by our couniTymen in Great Bril-
tam and Ireland. when they came 10 read
an address, in which sentiments were e&-
pressed, as emanaliDg from persons, who,
| when III their own country, were known
10 hold opinions directly opposite 2.
would We wish our counTymcn To sup
pose that because VIC enjoyed perfect
freedom, thai we were less anxious about
The welfare of that country in Which all
that are dear TO us residc2 MOI Would
we have it be said that Britous were d.
iraid 10 speak tn, ir sentiments here, in this
favored land, when they had done il bold-
