Welingtoa. whilst all will acknow-
ledge the justice Of the Following extract
from the London Examiner, rs applied to
the present prime minister of England we
put it TO the common sense of every body

of the Examiner, do not come home d.

The insuperablc objection to the Duke
js to be conveyed in FIVE words-He IS an
sgnorant Soldier. Were we to give him
credit for the best disposition, for which
we see no grounds, we should consider
those terms as containing sufficient dis
. qualification. Either government is a
farce and an imposition, or the Duke and
his messmates are grossly unftfor it. The
Duke has neither the Knowledge neces-
sary to his station, nor the sense Of what il
requisite, which would lead him to supply
his own deficiencies by availlng himself Of
tbe services of better informed men. Be.
ing ignorant himself, he is making the pre-.
posterous attempt to show that ignorance
is as capable as knowle1ge.-Ilence his
choice ofcolleagues--his lIardngcs, Muir
rays, Goulburns, and all that Fry When
Valebreque, the husband Of Calalni, was
asked how he proposed to form an Opera
Company, he answered, Ma femme, ct
quatre Oh cling poupces-poila tout &C quill
faut." The Duke, if he spoke ingenious.
", must have used the same terms in in.
forming his Majesty of his plan for form
ing an ADMINISTRATION" Moi, ct quatre ou
cling pouquees-vola toni ce quill faut."
Two of the ministers, Messrs. Courtenay
and Fitzgerald, have in the house made
proclamation Of their ignorance, and pro.
missed to apply themselves to their studies
during tho summer recess. They had much
better refrain from such doubtful pursuits
