exist two parties in the body politic beside your own, each apprized that you are not friendly to its cause. With the necessity staring you in the face of a speedy junction with the one or the other, you witlessly unbare the whole rancour of your hatred to either. To the Radicals you discover yourselves most inveterate; to the Loyalists, most unexpectedly mean and unge

nerous.

With respect to the latter, you commit that unpardonable crime which, though buried by time and circumstance in silence, can never be obliterated from recollection. You shew yourselves ready to sacrifice their safety to your own paltry selfishness, and to use any means, however grossly dishonourable, however comprehensively destructive, to rob them of their rights, you no longer oppose as a generous rival, but steal on as a muffled foe. Go now and join them; they may grant you that protection you must soon crave; but they will consider they are bestowing the favour on dastards, who, unable to stand alone, solicit the protection of one power to shield them from the vengeance of another. You might have made common cause, as brothers,

against a common enemy: you fooled away the opportunity, and you have need to thank God you may yet be received as supplicants. With these proofs of your insane and illiberal selfishness before our eyes, let us not behold you aspiring to seize the reins of government: in the event of your success, mere terror would compel us to snatch them from your hands. A's to the Radicals, in their prospective adjudications, they have voted you the punishment of deserters. To you they conceive the laws of war ought not to extend their benefit; they see through your coqueting, and as heartily despise as they detest you. They behold you staking a Constitution you pretend to venerate, for å seat on the Treasury Bench. Glad would they be did you stake it in their cause; but instead of that, they perceive you attempting to make a eat's-paw of themselves, to effect your own aggrandizement. Believe me, they will never suffer you to act with them or for them, unless as their tools; they have wits enough among them to outwit you;-they have done it alreadythey will do it again! What though they may salute you with a smile, it is but the reflection of your own hypocrisy. They may well smile to hail you on the same platform as themselves,.

instilling the idea into thousands that you advocate the same cause, and are prepared to go the same lengths.-When these thousands shall have been deluded into destruction-when they see you, whom they reckoned the chief strength of their party-whose presence inspired them with daring, and spurred them to desperation— when they see you going over to their enemy, though in the first panic they may fly—when they learn that rank cowardice was the cause of your desertion, will they not rally against you as the weakest point, and repay your duplicity with tenfold vengeance? Gentlemen, I accuse you of attending and countenancing revolutionary meetings; you have been among revolutionary agents, and addressed revolutionary auditories. These facts are substantiated, and your best friends can but vindicate your hearts at the expence of your heads. Yet you are the men who demand of your Prince to be placed in a situation, the responsibility of which you are at the same time (wisely enough for your purpose) proving yourselves utterly unequal to. You are committing daily errors in judgment, and crown them all by clamouring to be elevated to a station in which they would prove fatal to an Empire.

Your whole concerns seem to be in a state of derangement; your press is not under your control, but like a runaway horse, bas left its rider in the mud. You are divided among yourselves, and so you will remain till cool discretion be placed at your head, and something like integrity in your van; till you stop the mouths of advocates who ruin your cause, and, if you have truths to communicate, impart to to them the dignified sobriety by which alone they can make any impression. Gentlemen, you are a discomfited clan. I have much more to say to you, but must forbear at present, merely concluding with an exhortation, that you do not furnish the nation with fresh materials for diversion, in applying for the dismission of men to whom you are not fit to hold a candle.

JULIUS.

IN my letter of the 26th ult., after exposing the folly and wicked selfishness of your conduct in the present awful crisis, I brought against you another charge or two, which it shall be the business of this letter more explicitly to substantiate.

In the latter part of that epistle I accused you of countenancing revolutionary meetings, of intermixing with revolutionary agents, and of haranguing revolutionary auditories. These charges I repeat, these charges I will make good. From the bare facts your late conduct has put upon record, I defy the world to disprove that you have committed the grossest outrages upon common policy-whether deliberately or not I have great hopes of discovering. I see you such habitual traitors to others, that I fully expect to find you such to yourselves. The more I contemplate your conduct, the
