IN Both Houses of Parliament good deal Of time

Ministers by Lords and Commons by all sides OF the
House. Lord Lansdo rne having s~eetened the lip

we will eay nothing 10 disturb the general unanniiy

of its management nov turns rouni abuses the
"ribald press for what it has done expresses his

and speaks as if it were the greatest CRIME 10 tue
world 10 DO wbst he has himself done IN helping
to buyst the bubble of our late War Admnistra-

in the face Of every letter that arrives stl maintains
that there ia British army of nesr 80 600 fighting

of the pew spapers likely to create Dependency IN
our own soldiers and confidence IN the foe; and,
moreover that their accounts are grossly eIagSer-
