From the London Independent Whig
TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE
DUKE OF YORK.
Sir,
If, on your retreat from office, you
at once so regular and so precipitate
—so rapid and so undeviating.
Other candidates for fashionable
tune have exercised their faculties
ipon parts of the system ; your roy-
tl bigness may have a few superiors
it the gaming table, or the Four-in-
Haml Club, the race-course or the
stew—hut for the range of uni
versal science, you are without a
competitor !—You surpass them a<
in* as the rapidity of instinct out'
strips the tardiness of instruction...
St for each and till, from the penini
u a love-letter to the capitulation ol
m army, you are unequalled, unhid
tated, inimitable.
I can easily conceive that patriot
sm like yours would feel somewhat
estless in retirement ; a conscious-
less of superior abilities naturally ur-
jesto their exertion. It is reported
chat you condescend still to direct,
the arrangements of the commander
in chief’s office ; and, as if it were
vour determination to dazzle us
with a blaze of mingled virtues, add
a splendid self-denial to a princely
patriotism, contenting yourself with
the pay and patronage of the com
mand, add leaving to another the un
divided honour ol the responsibility.
Bul it is absurd to estimate vou b
die conceptions ot common men
You have, probably, some secret in
stinct, some dark and prophetic con
sciousness that you have ilot yet ii-.
nished the end of \ our being, and
paid vour dehtto your country. Som

leave you in that privacy which is e-
qually suited to the moderation oi
your talents and your virtues.
Your roy T al highness will be con
vinced that I am not to be easily im
pressed by common opinion, when 1
will admit that your existence has
not been altogether useless to the
ountry. To establish any valuable
truth, one example is better than a
thousand lectures ;—we have a natu
ral suspicion of theory, and we might
have lingered through ages of scep
ticism before we could have found so
strong an example as that supplied
by your royal highness ; that no de
gradation can- disqualify a man for
die service of his country—that the
most vulgar vice can give a lesson
vour assistance is necessary to the
iast hour of her renown : and that!
no other hand can so effectually shor
ten the pain oi her final struggle.
Report has even gone as i.ir as to
my, that the appointment of Lord 1
Chatham to the command of the ex-
pedidon is nothing more than an in
genious contrivance for your royal
nigiiness’s immediate and public re
sumption of authority.' As a friend
to the feelings ol an injured patriot,
I would not advise you to trust too
much to this intriguing expedient.
You still have to feel the prejudice
to which merit like yours must al
ways be expo>ed ! You have alreadv
escaped its violence ; a second plunge
might not he equally fortunate. Tile
and Irani;,1
uast not he
be victim.
Stay sir, if you would not have evc-
y parent in the land raising curies
m your head. Stay in your i\.tire
lent ; it is fittest for you. You may
■ here best Cxhibit and indulge all
.hose qualities which Matures like
vour’s feel as the first privileges of
ink and opulence. You Ml ay he a
’iberitts at C.iprea, ora Dvnhiart
t his villa, and alternately enjoy the
pure festivities of the one, and the
philosophic solitude of the other.
Beware of intruding yourself in
Command ; the last army of the em-
>ifl* must not he again trusted with
ou before an enemy. I dread to look
in on the consequence. You have
made me feel more than I thought
so many years hail lelt to me ! \ ou
have roused an old man from the
jojxlers of the grave! I have not
meddled with public affairs for ma
ny years. I thought that, in turn
ing the public eye on the Graltona
and Mansfields of my day, I had
done mv measure ol service to thy
country hut I can serve her yet. I
have been the best friend ofyeur roy
al highness’s family, anil am person-
lly yours, when I warn you against
su ing to take any shqrc of the pub
lic authority. You can he safe on-
while von are obscure !...Ihe ti-
ger in his cage, may lie suffered to
ive an"object cf fearless abhorrence
and escape curiosity : hut once let
loose, it becomes the duty ot every
man to arm himself against the vio*
nee of the royal savage.
If vou are liot this moment the
virtual commander in chief, why is
the influence of your resentments so
fatallj" predominant ? Why is vout*
nmity a simple ground of exclusion ?
Must we trace the serpent in eve
ry dark and sinuoiVi winding of
his retreat, by the infection of his
trail ?
Why, when such a man as Chat
ham is employed, is such a irtart as
Ferguson thrown out oi service ? It
is because he took the single resolu
tion of doing his duty with equal he
roism in the senate and in the field ?
-—Or is it that you think it hut lair
to acquaint us with th principles on
which a higher rank may .empower
you to act, and take this opportuni
ty of ii caring dvitnomaM cn be per*
mitted to serve his country till he
has turned train r to his conscience,
and that the duties of the army arc
contrary and hostile to the rights oi
the people •
It may he for your interest to
meditate on those charges. I have
still some hopes of your amendment.
[ will confess that on this point, the
general opinion is opposite to mine.
Your friends attrihu e your past con
duct to a persevering lolly...ydili' c
of morality, and meanest thirst of tide of public opinion still runs stron
power a triumph to the Constitution.
I know that, to your delicacy of
feeling, nothing is likely to be more
unexpected, or perhaps, more pain
ful, than a public charge of the car
dinal virtues. The double accusa
tion of piety and patriotism is, it
must be owned, rather oppressive for
the blushing humanity of a man who
has hitherto succeeded in concealing
his virtues from the suspicion of e-
ven his most intimate friends. But,
Sir, if I am not mistaken, you were
bom for a public example !—Other
men may rest assured of the grati
tude and deserve reward from the
justice, of the country—“ Sepultum

I dare not decline, to draw your bu
ried merits pp to light, and demand
igamst you. Your robes of office
may h ive hitherto kept you on the
surface, but they have been too much
drenched not to have lost their buoy
ancy. They would he too heavy for
yourleehleness. You would he swept
iway at once by an, irresistible tor
rent and your country would not
have to lament the obscure waste of
life whose last moments should
have been given to her interests,
neinies to ail obstinate \ ice...Both
agree that all your errors were the
work of nature, it is absurd to hope
for their reformation ;...thnt, as you
nislie'l into crime without reflection,
