ward this Secretary Of Wsr--a carpet knight Who had

Of York; fhrpatrck the War Minister having thus 10
audit tbs accounts Of FtspAtrick the Colonel by dnt
Of suoh stratsgems, the Duke Of York succeeded in
crushing Col tombstone and thus asserted his strsts
gicsl talents.
That, notwithstanding certain dullness hereditary
in tie illus'rous house Of brunswick the Duke was
a sharp fellow in his own way, is sufficiently shown
10y the fact that he figured tho chief Of George
Ills domestic cabinet" the closet and family
councils, and as the head Of the Court party called
the kings friends. 1t 10 net lees shown by the fact
that With IN annual income Of Col 900, he contrved
to squeeze out Of the Ministry a state loan Of $3.50
and, in spte Of this public credit hot to pay bis pr
vste debts. To perform such fcAt, man mus, needs
be Of nimbe spirits. As it is generally known how
upon place and greatness millions Of false eyes are
stuck, il will be early understood that the Grenvie
Administration was not ashamed to propose to his
Royal H;ghness 70 relieve him from subordinate
duties Of bis ofhce-which relief is complained in
pamphlet paid for by the Duke would have reduced
the Conn ander'in-chief u a mere cipher. Lan,.

under the name Of Lord Henry Petty That same
Administration threstt ned TO clog the illustrious
nor with military council falsely pretending
that the nation would be lost. unless the 's,rpert
"e~oe Of the Commander in chief assisted by q
/" board Of officers" Thus far was the Duke pressed
by this unworthy caba a. to demand an inquiry into
his conduct at the Horse Guards. Happily, this
intrigue of the Grenvie party was defeated by the
immediate interpoeton, or rather Command, of George
Ill, who, although notorious IDIOT had Wit snough
to understand the genius Of his son.
In the year le0s the brave and patriotic sentiments
of the royal Captain prompted him to solicit the com
mand ofthe British armies in Spain ard Portugal but
then the general dread of the masses TO behold Eng
land bereft Of such home commander at % critical
moment, burst out in most noisy indscreet and almost
indecent demonstrations. lie warned to remem.
Der his former i'll fortune abroad to keep him "in
receive for the army at home, aud "to beware Of
public e1ecratiOn." Nothing daunted, the magnani-
nous Duke had pamphlet published to prove his
hereditary claim TO DO beaten in Portugal and SPAIN
o. he had been in Flanders and Holland. Bat ala. !
The Morning Chro4oie of that period ststes that in
the present instance is notorious that ministers and
people, ms and outs, are fully agreed in opinion
Yea the talked Of appointment al the Duke seemed to
threat. England with a regular row. Thus on. may

1t is evident then, that in spite Of rae numerous eff
forts Of his envious detrscto it had been impossible
to keep the past deeds of the Duke hidden from the
! world. What satisfaction for one single man this
unanimous anxiety Of a whole people to keep him at
home. The Duke, Of course, cannot but give his gal
liant mind the extreme pain Of drilling his martial
dor, and quietly stay at the Horse Guards.
Before passing to the brightest period Of this
mental hie we must stop moment and show that ~
