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.

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.

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.
