Necromancer

.—Mr Pitt, who, by means of charms and spells, and his opiate wand, conjures up the House of Commons and the Privy Council to his opinions. For many years, by the force of his incantations, he kept Liberty bound up in a little bottoe, containing a solution of gold in the sudorous acid, extracted from the brows of the laboring poor. This bottle was kept in the Treasury; and Mr. Windham, going there one day, very thirsty, hastily opened the bottle for a draugh of this precious aqua-vitæ. The goddess immediately escaped and fled to France, on the 14th of July, 1789, where she has taken up a perennial abode, and never means to revisit these inhospitable shores.
