! The country will submit without com mplaiI
d ing to the loss Of Lord DC Tabley or Lol
Alfred Paget, or score more of such vspi
and useless hangers on Of the Court, sent I
condole with the cousin -four Coburg Prime,
, but the country will not much longer put u
with the employment Of British fleet, Lai
for by British taxes, as a ploything, or a.
instrument Of tyranny by Coburg Prince
Before entering upon the history Of tn
Ministers and men now high in office, VIII,
owe their elevation to the German nhuenc,
prevalent in the councils Of the nation, pro
pose taking a short review Of the anteceden;.
Of the Prince-the head Of that party.
! 1t may not be quite in the recollection o.
your readers that some years back when
Parliament decided upon granting less sum
Of money to our Coburg Prince than that asked
for by the then Minister Of the day, it was
loudly proclaimed in the heart os anger and
disappointment, that he would lay his hand
upon every place falling vacant, until he had
made good the difference between the SUN
asked; and most scrupulously has the royal
word been kept on this point, commencing
from the day the f3O,OOO a year, | believe,
granted by Parliament, was paid down TO the
unseemly act Ot injustice committed against
all the veterans OF the British army in seizing
the command Of the Grenadier Regiment OF
Guards, on the death of the Duke ol Weliinp-
ton, against the express declaration of
Commission Of the House of Commons, who
stated that the command Of these regiments
was, E future, 10 be the reward Of old and
meritorlous officers. In what possible way
can the Prince come under either of these
heads! He never really commanded a cor
pora's guard in his lie, while he has robbed
British veterans OF the reward held out to
them Tor long and distinguished services
He may be seen two or three times a wear, on
warm. (but not too sunny morning, trying
10 take the command OF battalion Of 6 yards
in Hyde Park, but we believe, that of late his
attempts even to make himself understood in
giving the word OF command, have been SO
unsuccessful, that he has reIinqushed even
this arduous duty, and will, for the future, BE-
sattied with pocketing the additional fe y
hundred annually which he will receive for
being Colonel OF d egiment of three instead
ot two 6attalIons, as formerly. Is there no !
independent member Of Pdrliment to ask why |
an unfortunate hailpay lieutenant or captain
receiving four or five shiengs day, is !
nulcted out OF his wretched pittance on re-
ceivng civil appointment And yet the
parsonage in question is allowed to seize upon !
every place that falls vacant, in addition to
the 100000 year, which was certainly |
given to him as paymentiE fu!! OF all de-
mauds. ........ .....-........
| lear to intrude further on your space to-
day. 1t seems that Lord Palmerston has been
persuaded to join the Cabinet again upon his
own terms. The Times has been llrateI,
and mad to write tpo separate articles of
apology, one to Lord Palmerston, and the
other to the Emperor of the French. Lord
Palmerston knows as well as | can tell him,
that he is both hated and feared by most of
his colleagues and their German master, but
believe him tossknow equally well, that if he
does not tuke stick to them both upon all
occasions, they will trip him up again, as they
have already done twice before. am, sir,
