i From the ndon Evening Post. To the PRINTER. I R. 1 what an unhappy condition is this country ana its innaoitants reduced 1 n.ven tne privilege of complainings a privilege allowed to (laves, is denied us, and we have nothing left hut the melancholy recollection of what we have loft. Whence arifes this fatal and difgraceful alteration To what unhappy caufe can we attribute fo extraordinary a change in the fentiments of Englifhmen There was period when the Britifh legiflature would have enquired into the expenditure of the public money, and not, with the profulion of a fpendthrift, have difpofed of a property they had no right to but the right of guard ianfhip'.

I believe, Sir, even in your memory, the repfefentative part of the nation would have had virtue and refolution enough to demand of the different offices, an authentic account of their application of the money Voted to them by Parliament. Tjiefe demands are out of ufe it feerns at prefent, and the legiflative body content themfelves with an implicit concurrence to the claims of the Mini iter, however extravagant and unneceflary. They, confide altogether in his aflurances and it is fufficient for them if the proftitute fcribblers, in the fervice of admi hiftration proclaim to the world the wonderful cecono my of this reign, with the Mimfters refolution to pre fsrve tranquility, and reduce the national debt. In whatever fociety either accident or delign introduces me, I hear of little elfe but the piety of his Majefty, and the integrity of his Minifter and, that the uncommon virtues of thefe extraordinary perfonages mould receive every pof fible advantage, I fometimes hear the one oppofed to the Jibertinifm (as it is called) of Mr Wilkes, and' the other to his tranfadtiohs with a Jew ufurer. Thus, by compa rifon, are thofe wretched fycophants obliged to fpeak of the good qualities of their Sovereign to be even known, they require to be contraftecl and how humiliating muft jl oe IO lviajeuy vas lviajcicy cauaiuc ui iu uiui whom I could mention, affects a gr in general but examine his conduct Sir, that it hasTseeh one continued attempt to refine and explain away the life and ftrength of our conftitution, in favour of the little, prefent, momentary turns, which he is retained to ferve and fuch" are the men who creep into the firft offices of the State.
