The Hanoverian ministers always deserved to be hanged for rascals; but now, if they get the power in their hands, as, sooner or later, they must, since there is neither rising in England nor assistance from France, they will deserve the gallows as fools if they leave a single clan in the Highlands in a situation to be again troublesome to government.
The Employment of Hanoverian Regiments at Gibraltar and Minorca. End of the War. Colonial Policy of the Present Reign. Complaints of the Undue Influence of the Crown. Motions for Parliamentary Reform. Mr. Burke's Bill for Economical Reform. Mr. Dunning's Resolution on the Influence of the Crown. Rights of the Lords on Money-bills. The Gordon Riots.
So successful was this performance, so popular did the prince make himself, and so warmly was he received, that the Hanoverian Government took upon itself to be seriously offended, ordered the Venetian ambassador Businiello to leave London, and conveyed to the Republic of Genoa its grave disapproval of the Republic's conduct. The zealous energy of Mr.
For from Greely Square to Eighth Street, from the cork room of Koster & Bial's to the purlieus of old Clinton Place, all the "off color" men and women of New York's "fly" circles knew and feared the steady eyes gleaming through the cerulean lenses. "He's a deep one, the Professor," grunted the Hanoverian barkeeper. "Vat a lot 'e knows!"
He made advances to me and we became friends, and the reader will see in due time what a fatal acquaintance he was. One day as I was walking with Goudar in Hyde Park he left me to speak to two ladies who seemed pretty. He was not long absent, and said, when he rejoined me, "A Hanoverian lady, a widow and the mother of five daughters, came to England two months ago with her whole family.
From Brussels I went straight to the Hague, and got out at the "Prince of Orange." On my asking the host who sat down at his table, he told me his company consisted of general officers of the Hanoverian army, same English ladies, and a Prince Piccolomini and his wife; and this made me make up my mind to join this illustrious assemblage.
Very naturally I began to wonder at all things, some for being so like and some for being so unlike the things in England Dutch women with large umbrella hats shooting out half a yard before them, with a prodigal plumpness of petticoat behind the women of Hamburg with caps plaited on the caul with silver, or gold, or both, bordered round with stiffened lace, which stood out before their eyes, but not lower, so that the eyes sparkled through it the Hanoverian with the fore part of the head bare, then a stiff lace standing up like a wall perpendicular on the cap, and the cap behind tailed with an enormous quantity of ribbon which lies or tosses on the back: "Their visnomies seem'd like a goodly banner Spread in defiance of all enemies."
He could not know the panic in which Hanoverian London was cast; he could not know that desperate thoughts of joining the Stuart cause were crossing the craven mind of the Duke of Newcastle; he could not know that the frightened bourgeoisie were making a maddened rush upon the Bank of England; he could not know that the King of England had stored all his most precious possessions on board of yachts that waited for him at the Tower stairs, ready at a moment's notice to carry him off again into the decent obscurity of the electorship of Hanover.
Lisa, however, had since then retained a tragic something which Aunt Betty treated as sickness and invested with the most solicitous care. The tutor, a stately Hanoverian, and Bob, the youngest of the family, had also appeared on the scene. "How do you feel, Lady Princess?" asked the professor. Lisa smiled faintly. "I thank you, a little weary." "We need rest," opined Aunt Betty.
Yet on calumnies so futile as those which we have mentioned did Barere ground a motion at which all Christendom stood aghast. He proposed a decree that no quarter should be given to any English or Hanoverian soldier. His abuse of England is merely laughable. England has managed to deal with enemies of a very different sort from either himself or his hero.
