All this one million, three hundred and fifty thousand, two hundred and sixty-three dollars and twenty-four cents, for a royal pageant, for the household of two poor weak creatures, George and Charlotte Guelph. Their children have other and separate establishments.

*The perfons fo marked, have no falaries affigned them in the books; but most of them must have allowances of candle ends and cheese parings"-prefents or pay, in one shape or another.

And does the king have his salaries besides, no wonder, that millions of the people are paupers. Such is the wickedness of British royalty, only as the private family concerns of the British king, besides all his public officers, other families, and their waiters; from these devils, Washington revolted, to rid ourselves direct and indirect from their taxation; because he was a friend to mankind; because he had charity for the elaves, which he beheld surround him on every side,

robbed of every thing dear, to pine in cottages, for the want of that, which the palace party robbed from them, by their wicked foreign commerce of aristocracy, which they call government.

For all this horde of officers and waiters, of John Bull and Lot Guelph, we to the government of the U. States, dont pay a cent; the whole salary, perquisites and dues, of the president of the United States, is only $25,000, which is less than the fiftieth part of what is paid only to the privy officers and servants, of the British King and Queen.

Why allow your Columbian paradise, to roll back into the gulph, from which you were by your beloved parents drawn? look back into the British gloom behind you, behold what a spectacle of human wretches; near one fifth part of the people of that rotten British nation, are paupers; yes, one fifth of the British pecple, sustain their lives by exactions on their hard hearted powerful robbing ministry, and the benevolent republican influence to keep them alive; were it not for the whigs of Britain, who are always at work against the oppression of their royal tory nobility's wickedness, being always at war with every appearing republic of the world, because they tend to manumit to freedom their slaves. Whenever tories are in the power and control of their parliament, to war with republics they go, and these tory devils form that iniquitous English aristocracy, which has reduced her nation into a state of misery and paupery. Read what is exHibited in the following table, founded on British authority:

This was the number of British paupers then, be ing about one eighth part of the people in England and

Wales only, in consequence of their commercial prosperity, they have been rapidly degenerating to paupers, ever since they became mistress of the seas, completed in 1803; and the following table, exhibiting the poor rates of England and Wales, show how slow, their number of paupers have formerly increased, before Britain became able to sway the sceptre of the waves, for the aggrandizement of devils, and crushing of inno

The census of 1811 gives the whole population of England and Wales at 10,747,280, including the army and navy containing 640,500 persons; the poor's rates for the present year is somewhere from seven to eight millions sterling, which is about thirty four millions of dollars, to be annually expended out of John Bull's strong box, which they collect from all parts of the world, wherever they can rob and keep those from starving, which British oppression had first so cruelly robbed, by their rebellion to God; besides this expence, the interest of the national debt, and an endless swarm of soldiers, and their many nobles and life guards, and expence of their crazy aristocracy of officers, and clergymen, without end in numbers, all to be maintained by a robbed world, and can her Island if it was all gold, pay her endless debt?

And now, since the downfal of the continental navy of Europe, into the British group, which was about eleven years ago; the number of British paupers, have so rapidly increased, that near a fifth part of her popu lation, are paupers and beggars; and which has so fast increased, with the increase of British commercial robbery, that the town of Nottingham, which had in 1805, only every seventh person a pauper, in their late petition to the Prince Regent for peace, says that nearly one third of the population, of the largest parish in that
