..targes against the duke of York, in

,.nd in accusing the press of being
the organ of that conspiracy;
that these two men were 'the
most strenuous, in the attempt
that day made, to pave the way for
laws, 'which should render the press
a mere instrument in the hands o!
men of power, as the press in Cal
cutta is ; and that these two men
ivere the loudest in the cry against
•Jvhat they called an “ attack up
on public men” and in calling for
a stand against popular encroach
ment.—■ 1 ms should now be
recollected by the insulted people ol
England;; but, they have so long
borne insult with unmoved gall, that
th/n are scarcely to be either dreaded

who complained so bitterly about tin
attempts to degrade ulf public m
who advised the king (in the last
speech from the throne,) to the peo

on, the crown barjudge at W mches-
ter at the hu t assises thought proper
in his charge to the grand jury (oi
winch the l ight honourable old Geo.
Rose was foreman,) to express his
sorrow at observing, that there was
a prevalent disposition to degrade
public men, which he attributed to
the abuse of the liberty of the press ;
yes, these are two of the gentry, who
were in ollice at that very tune, and
who at that very time,' as it now ap
pears, were brewing a quarrel, which
has terminated m an attempt to kili,
to murder each other. When the
Tinman of Plymouth was tried and
punished so severely tor an attempt
upon the virtue of Mr. Addington,
the circumstance ol the latter being
a privy counsellor was strongly, ur
ged in aggravation ol the offence
and I am fully persuaded, that,' if a
jiy one had said and published, that
a duel was about to take place be
tween these two men, an out cry would
have been raised against him ; he
■would have been represented as hav
ing committed a dreadful outrage
upon his“ majesty’s government,” in
the persons of two of his right ho
nourable privy counsellors; weahoutd
have seen all the high sounding words
of law marshalled against him ; and
very likely, have seen him prosecu
ted to his utter ruin* !k penned up in a
jail, as distant as possible from his
affairs and his friends. Yes only for
saving, tint these men would do, 01
were likely to do, what they have
now actually done ; this would have
been ray fate, or that of any other
writer of publisher. When we find,
that these two men, the one secreta
ry of state for foreign affairs, and th.
other the War secretary, have been
at daggers drawn for many months
past, are our failures and misfortunes
any longer a subject of wonder r
For several months past : that is the
fact stated. It is not in human na
ture, that they should, during that
time, have thwarted one another by
•vli possible means ; and, indeed, is
it supposed, that two men, who could
f not be restrained from shooting at
one another, would restrain them
selves from doing any thing, in their
official capacity, to annoy each other,
and to produce each other’s disgrace ?
