Sidmouth, who had replied that he saw no occasion for the interference of the department over which he presided; and therefore, Mr. Pearson and his friends made their bow, and retired.

Mr. Pearson replied, that, as he believed the accused would quit the country, it was that night, and that night only, that the services of his lordship would be of any use; and that, therefore, he would call again if such were Mr. Clive's pleasure; but he could not leave the neighbourhood without receiving a decisive answer.

Late last evening Mr. Minshull announced to Mr. Pearson, at Bow-street, that, finding the tale of Adderfield to be true, and that he had been made the dupe of the designs of others, he (Mr. Minshull), had shown compassion to him, and had only fined him 5l. and sentenced him to hard labour in the house of corréction for three months.

It will be recollected that Adderfield could not read, and was, therefore, ignorant of the contents of the hand-bill which he was the mere instrument of circulating: meanwhile the author of the bill has been suffered to escape without remark.

Mr. Pearson left with Mr. Clive two of the seditious hand-bills, and was appointed to call again at half-past four o'clock, at which time that gentleman and his friends returned, and Mr. Clive, addressing them, said, that Lord Sidmouth did not see any thing in the hand-bills to justify his interference. It should be renembered that the two bills left were the one which we have before copied, and another, containing, among other seditious and inflammatory expressions, the following, alluding to the execution at Derby: Strike all possible brevity, and withnot at all, or strike home; think out any preface, to correct the of our personal insupportable falsehoods contained in your servitude; and always remem- Bow-street account of Monday ber that the alternative is li- last, regarding myself. berty, or a glorious grave." 1st.

When it pleased the will of my Royal Consort to dismiss me from his Royal abode, he was not able to fix the slightest imputation of moral blame on my conduct; and could only excuse his own by alleging that his inclinations were not under his controul. In this state of total and unprovoked desertion by him who had recently sworn eternal fidelity only to myself, I had no solace left but in the company of my only child; and it is well known that that solace was gradually diminished, till it was entirely taken away.

The former ordeals through which I passed, without the smallest imputation of criminality, though they were not conducted with candour, were less characterised by malignity than the present. The present is marked by an intensity of malevolence, of which, happily for the honour of our species, only one example is furnished in the history of mankind.
