The parliamentary recess would cIo,s

tanned, that the wings will not have as Ion,
pleasant, time in Office. as they desire :.
exisencies of the country demand. Dpr;,,

combinations have been formed as will gre,,I,

The Courier of the same date teyep,,,

If the King listens to the counsels Of Ohs,

other States, expressly that their ncghbon q,
have the wisdom to profit by it.
1t is not the interest OF a King Of Enc land,
of any Monarch. that his people should sufa
nor can il be for his happiness that they shea
assail him with circumstances or murmurs. Il
people of England have right to what they 4
to redress Of grievances. and to protectD
against the abuse of power. The King hr
right to their allegiance in the same degree
which he affords them protection; and itHr
doctrine Of our constitution, that he Can c4
no more.
