He is the Duc de Bouillon who, while in England, called himself Mr. Godfrey and showed interest in Foxite politics

"Hibernia (left) seated under a tree receives advances from four men representing France, Spain, Holland, and Portugal. She holds a spear, and a shield on which is the Irish harp. At her side is a large roll inscribed "Irish Linnen" and a corded bale or packing case. The tree is inscribed "Shelaley" [An obsolete form of shillelagh, the term for a cudgel deriving from "a wood of that name [in County Wicklow] famous for its oaks". Grose, 'Dict. Vulg. Tongue', 1785, cited O.E.D.] and a branch over Hibernia's head is encircled with a wreath inscribed "Shamroke". She says, "I was once the Wife of John Bull, but now Ive a License to trade for myself, my Ports are free for all Mankind to enter". Lord North looks from behind the trunk of the tree, saying, "Had it not been for the Disturbance in America you should never have had a free trade I'm as far North as any of you". France approaches, hat in hand, his right. hand outstretched, saying "I have no vear de Shirt since Fielding take de Holland vich Mynheer sent me, I'm forced to make shift vith de Ruffle, if you vill let me into your Port for to get a bit of Linnen, I vill give you de French P--x, vich is all I shall have left ven de var is over". (It was a common gibe among the English populace that Frenchmen wore ruffles without shirts.) Spain, wearing a feathered hat, cloak, and slashed doublet, says "Let me enter your Port I'll give you plenty of Spanish Gold for your Linnen, tho' if Rodney comes to see me often I shall have none left". Holland, wearing a high-crowned hat and smoking a pipe, says "I want apiece of Linnen to send to America, she wants a new Shift but can't come for it least she should catch cold, if you'll let me enter your Port I'll give you a Dutch Herring and a glass of Hollands after it to keep it from rising in your Stomach". Portugal, dressed like Spain, except that his doublet is not slashed, says "I keep a Vineyard in Portugall, if you'll let me into your Port, I'll supply you with Wine at a cheap rate for your Linnen, if you'll drink none from France or Spain.""--British Museum online catalogue

Charles Fox hangs by the neck from a large balloon with the image of the East India House on it. He has a fox's tail inscribed, "The man of the people." Below on the left stands a female figure of Justice with the face of George III. Under his feet are sheets of paper inscribed, "Coalition" and "East India Bill." In the right hand he holds a scale with half royal crown on one side and "America' on the other. Lifting the cloth that covered his eyes, the King blows the balloon away. Opposite the King, Lord North kneels on the ground, a "Letter of dismission" next to him. He begs George to keep him in office

"Lord North (left), with a sack over his shoulder inscribed "Budget", drags by a chain a large lion. The lion's right fore-paw, inscribed "America", has been cut off, and his leg is bleeding. With the lion walk America, France, and Spain. America, a Red Indian with a head-dress and kilt of feathers, holds out a tomahawk in his left hand; in his other hand is the staff supporting the cap of liberty; he says, "This Limb belongs to me in Spite of Fate". France holds out a sword in his left hand, his right is on the lion's head; he says, "Either by Policy or Force I must Obtain some limb or Other". Spain, standing by France, says "I am afraid I shall lose all my Dollers & get Nothing". Behind the lion (r.) three men advance with a flag inscribed "Associations", two of them with drawn swords; they point towards North; one says, "Let our Associations Stop that lump of Iniquity from Ruining our Country"; the next says, "One limb is lost Already by his Infernal tricks". The third says, "Give us an Account how you Spend our money". North is saying, "D------n these Associations they will put a Stop to my Proceedings at last." He is walking over documents inscribed "York; Middlesex; Petitions, and Protestant Petition" (the monster petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act to which Lord George Gordon was then collecting signatures). In the foreground a large thistle is growing, emblematic of the evil influence of Scotland; near it appears part of some striped material, perhaps the American flag, but with many more than thirteen stripes."--British Museum online catalogue

William Pitt, dressed in a tunic tied with "Cestus of virtue" and a helmet inscribed, "Wisdom," and decorated with feathers and laurel wreath, stands between two lion-like beasts with the faces of Lord North and Charles Fox. North rears up as Pitt pulls on his tongue with forceps. On the opposite side, Fox lies on the ground bleeding from his mouth while Pitt holds a heart inscribed, "Indostan," above his body. A crown labeled, "Asia," fallen from Fox's head, lies at Pitt's feet. The title refers to freedom of the City given Pitt by the Grocers' Guild

Lying on his stomach, a giant Lord North appraises the ship Britannia which is heeling over by the shore, as he encourages the members of his cabinet to pillage it. Diminutive figures of Fox, Portland, possibly Stormont, and Burke, stand on his back holding large sacks of loot. To the right on the ground stands "Sir" Jeffery Dunstan, the popular "Mayor of Garratt," and used wig seller, saying, "Old Whigs and Sham Whigs."

Two ladders placed against a tall brick wall signed, "Treasury," reach an open window at the top. In it stands a man, perhaps the Duke of Portland, with a yoke on his shoulders and bunches of grapes hanging from each end. At the top of the ladders are, from left, Fox and North, both reaching for the grapes while at the same time emptying their bowels. Their excrement falls into the mouths of those climbing immediately after them; on Fox's ladder it is Sheridan. This process is repeated down to the last climbers. Each ladder is supported by a group of men gaping toward its top with their mouths open in expectation of the spoils
