We observe that the Irish Orange papers arc retailing at
second- hand the stories invented by their friends on this side of the Channel as to the alleged ill-treatment of Lord Mesuounse and his colleagues by the King. Whatever may have been the case a few months ago, the Ministers have at present no cause of complaint against their Sovereign on that score. At the Cabinet Council held at the close of last week at Brighton, and at the subsequent dinner, the King's recep- tion of his Ministers was more friendly than it has been since April last. The Tory lies and misrepresentations are not quite so successful at Court as some of the understrappers of the party wish the public to believe. Wrsstass the Fourth is not quite so silly, or such an unman- nerly clown, as the " King's Friends " would, for their own dirty uses, represent him.
