PART III.] MORRIS BIRKBECK, ESQ. 593 



I am fully of opinion, that my four years which 

 I gave the system at my coming away, will see 

 the end of it. There can be no more war car 

 ried on by them. I see they have had Baring, 

 of Loan-notoriety at the Holy Alliance-Con 

 gress. He has been stipulating for a supply of 

 paper-money. They should have got my con 

 sent to let the paper-money remain ; for, / can 

 destroy it whenever I please. All sorts of pro 

 jects are on foot. " Inimitable Notes ;" paying 

 in specie by weight of metal. Oh ! the wond 

 rous fools ! A sudden blow-up ; or, a blow-up 

 somewhat slow, by ruin and starvation ; one of 

 these must come; unless they speedily reduce 

 the interest of the Debt ; and even that will not 

 save the seat-dealers. 



1048. In the meanwhile let us enjoy ourselves 

 here amongst this kind and hospitable people ; 

 but, let us never forget, that England is our 

 country, and that her freedom and renown 

 ought to be as dear to us as the blood in our 

 veins. God bless you, and give you health 

 and happiness. 



WM. COBBETT.
