The nw cabinet are the very identical pet sons t whom Burke alh'ded in 'he following poig oant and vigorous satirical sTatcment of facts in hi " Regicide.

Littleness in object and in means, to them appears soundness and S' briety, They think there is not hing worth pursuit, but fhat which they can handle ; which they can measure with, a two foot rule; which they can tell upon ien.fi gers." It is our firm i pinion, that if George the Third wtre to sehd a Carte -blanche to Napoleon, leaving to him atid Talleyrand to select an administration answerable to their views; 'hose arch fiends of cunning anu wicK.ear.tss could not pitch upon any more likely to be instrumental to their advantage-.Indted it is pro bable that, withlhe eictptibn of the Duke of Portland, they would chuse these very. men. In a word, it js a sad and sorrowful business. If-ask ed what Me t.unk will be the conse quence, we w 11 answer that we very much fear the powers of Europe will withdraw ibaytonftdence which they so nnSimiterlly reused in the other men. We fear that freshis contents wilharc in Ireland, ah perhaps some in England.
