- "Above, Mrs. Clarke stands on a round dais, under a canopy, receiving her clients. These are headed by six military officers; the foremost makes a sweeping bow, cocked hat in hand. Next is a fat parson holding a money-bag inscribed 800; behind is an obese doctor, with three other elderly men. She says to them: Ye Captains and ye Colonels-ye parsons wanting place, Advice I'll give ye gratis and think upon your case, If there is possibility, for you I'll raise the dust, But then you must excuse me-if I serve myself the first. Below, Mrs. Clarke, much décolletée, looks from an open ground-floor window of a London house, to see a fashionably dressed man, Taylor, walking towards her holding a sealed packet. He looks over his shoulder at a yokel with a cudgel, who asks: I say Measter Shoe-maker where be you going in such a woundy hurry? Taylor answers: Dont speak to me fellow you should never pry into State affairs. Mrs. Clarke says: Open the door John here comes the Ambassador Now for the dear delightful Answer. Behind the yokel, evidently John Bull, is his dog. On the right is a house with a door-plate inscribed Mrs Weston."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The King's head, framed in wig and whiskers, appears above a huge green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) which he is holding up in both hands to shake out the contents, five ragamuffins, who fall out head first. Bag and King are supported by the bent backs of Castlereagh (left) and Sidmouth (right), the King's toe resting on a shoulder of each. The bag is inscribed in large letters: 'Respectable Witnesses for the [a large crown is depicted] against the Q--n.' It is labelled: 'To Dr Circular [see British Museum Satires No. 13282], Ld Triangle [see British Museum Satires No. 14135] & C° London.' The King says: "My hopes and prospects, depend, upon the very doubtful, veracity, of these Six Italians!" Castlereagh: "Friend Sid--we must make Barons of these six Italian Allies to make their evidence, appear stronger!" Sidmouth: "Ah! My worthy Colleague, and your Lordship knows, we must dress them up, at the Public expence, for at present, I never see, such Ragged Rascals!" On the ground by Castlereagh are a scourge, and a document: 'Bill of Pains and Penalties' [see British Museum Satires No. 13825]; other papers: 'Secret Service Money £10.000 for each Witness' and 'Queen's Petition to the Lords'. In the background (left) are the masts and sails of a ship. Below the design: 'Dover, Friday, July 7, 1820. This Morning Six of the Italian Allies arrived. The good people of this town flocked to see them. They were escorted by an Austrian Agent, and a Milan Attorney. Such a set of ragged Rascals never were seen before. Such Wretches as go about with dancing dogs and monkeys, white mice, tame snakes, and land-turtles. The Magistrates got a guard of Constables to protect them, for fear the people should fling them into the sea. They were kept guarded till two coaches were brought to put them into. They were then driven off amidst the hisses, cries, and yells, of the men, women, and chrildren [sic], of this humane, loyal, and public-spirited Town. They seemed frightened out of their wits at this honest expression of the feelings of the People. Who is to Pay for bringing over, feeding, cloathing, and Rewarding these Wretches!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

- "A leech with the head and barrister's wig of Leach is coiled round an upright cylindrical document to which is tied with red tape a second bill; these are respectively 'Bill of Pains . . .' [see British Museum Satires No. 13825] and 'Divorce'. Propped against the former are two green bags (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), both closed with a large red seal on which is a 'G.R.' monogram. These are inscribed 'Fill'd with Filth and Lies!!!' and 'Lies . . . [L]ies'. With them are other large documents: 'List of Witness[es] against Q . . . N'; 'Expen[ces] & Bribes at Milan'; 'Protoc[ol]' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13764). The small shambling Wilberforce is being pushed towards the leech by Castlereagh (left), who is a pendant to the more stalwart and bulky Duke of York (right). The Duke wears uniform, holds his unsheathed sword, and has a pyramid of cannon-balls crooked in his left arm. A paper, 'Bp Osnabu[rgh]', is thrust through his sash. He says fiercely: "Rascals! Villains!! Traitors!!! I have set the Claret running in One Place, and if any of you attempt, to deprive me of My succession, I will make your Bodies, a thoroughfare for York dumplings!! alias Artillery Bolouses." Castlereagh, with a scourge hanging from his pocket, says to Wilberforce: "O dear! O dear! That Bishop quite alarms me, now my dear Christian Friend, pray do persuade that great Horse Leech to muster up all his Italian Witnesses [see British Museum Satires No. 13762, &c.] immediately or that Military Bishop [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11227] will send us to Kingdom come along with out Master." Wilberforce holds a book: 'New Litany &c'; a Pet[ition] To Q--N' is under his arm; a paper, 'Slave Tra[de]' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8793) hangs from his pocket. He says: "Pray Sr--Horse Leech, endeavour to stop the Q--'s mouth by bringing the whole host of Witnesses, before the L--ds, so as to Crush Her at once, otherwise that Terrable Bishop, will send us into Abrahams bosom, sooner, than We wish.""--British Museum online catalogue

Castlereagh, on the extreme left, faces Sidmouth who stands with flexed knees holding a constable's staff, one hand on the bag. He says: "Well Gentlemen! we are pretty well in for it now--we must lie through thick and thin to do any good, and get as many as we can to do the same, or it is all up with us; what say you Doctor have you any specific for the occasion." Sidmouth: "Friend Derry I could as soon produce the Philosophers stone or Elixir of Life but if your brazen face can't bring us through it is a forlorn hope, however here is some chance in the Bag!" The head of a man crouching in the Bag looks up to say: "Yes I have some choice Tales to communicate what with Bargemen--Chambermaids--W....s and Rogues, whom I have had the honor to associate with. I shall be able to COOK up a high seasoned dish that his M.....y will relish." On the right of the Bag stands Canning, scratching his head with a puzzled expression; he says: "Curse that City Hop Merchant [Wood] he has thrown bitter into this Brewing with a vengeance! I'll try what a dash of my wit will do, or we shall be obliged to swallow it ourselves!" A pretty female head looks up at him from the Bag, to say: "I say Mr. Flashman! don't stand scratching your head in that manner but hear what I have to tell you when a woman is determined on revenge she will stick at nothing to accomplish it--turn me away indeed for a little amusement with Peter, when my husband was out I hate such scrupulous Modesty. I'll swear any thing you wish." Three faces appear at smaller slits, saying respectively: "I'll swear!"; "So will I!"; "So will I to any lie." Eldon (right) in Chancellor's wig and gown, walks off to the right, holding a rolled document: 'Rex [vers]us Regina'. He says with a meditative frown: "Well Gentlemen I shall go home and consult about it. I dont like to decide too hastily Look before you leap ought to be the Motto of my Seal" [cf.

- Abstract:
- "Justice stands on a small rocky plateau surrounded by waves. She holds up a pair of scales; on one scale (left) stands the Queen, noble and dignified, in royal robes, the crown at her feet. She far outweighs the other scale, on which is a huge green bag: 'Ev[ide]nce a[gainst] [t]he [Que]en'; Castlereagh, Sidmouth, and Canning stand round it, with a serpent as pendant to the crown. The Queen holds out a scroll headed 'Righ[t] ... of ... Queen' and an open book: 'Liturgy'. Castlereagh holds out to her a scroll headed '50,000 pr An'; he says: "Another Bag (now almost ready) Will make the Balance firm & steady, And certain other pond'rous stuff Will make the Lady light enough." Sidmouth flourishes a clyster-pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849). Canning stands behind the Bag on the extreme right; he says: "I wish to God that I was out Of this infernal mounting Scale, For plainly I percieve a rout, And that the Lady must prevail." The Queen: "Vipers Go! I can't endure you, You wrong me I assure you, Yet still I spurn the wrong, and view, With calmness all your Bag can do." Below the title : '"Do thou inspire the stroke "With prevalence divine - as thine the wrong, "Vengeance and punishment to thee belong; "The injur'd state of Innocece [sic] restore, "Crush the bold insults of aspiring pow'r, "Shine like thy radiant source, and mak the world adore.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735, &c., is transformed into a hillock covered with grass and foliage, but keeping the contour of a sack; it is inscribed in large letters: 'Commons Green Bag'. On the left it is watched by a group of Ministers, on the right by the Queen and her supporters. The foremost of the latter is Brougham, in wig and gown, who points a rod inscribed 'Queens Attorney General' towards the bag; a mouse crouches in a little hollow at its base. Under his arm is a large document inscribed 'Resolution ..... [Ma]jesty'. The Queen, her hands extended towards him, turns to a second barrister who stands in back-view, saying, "I should make a brave Queen to be frightened at a Mouse." The barrister, Denman, the Queen's Solicitor-General, answers: "A good Conscience is a Wall of Brass, your Majesty will not shrink at a Royal Tiger." On the extreme right, Wood, in an alderman's gown, is speaking to a lady, evidently Lady Ann Hamilton. On the extreme left is a curtain from behind which the King, his head and most of his person being hidden, speaks to Lord Eldon (who like his colleagues is gaping at the bag-mountain): "Why Bags! what's all this!" Eldon, in wig and gown, holding a large document and the Purse of the Great Seal, answers: "The Cat's out of the Bag Sire thats all." Canning exclaims: "Pro-di-gi-ous! as my Friend Domine Sampson [in Scott's 'Guy Mannering', 1815] says!" Castlereagh, very scared, says to Sidmouth: "Doctor could you not prevented [sic] this untimely Birth!" Sidmouth stoops forward, squirting a clyster-pipe at the mouse; in his right hand, like a doctor's gold-headed cane, is a constable's staff. He exclaims: "A Delivery without Nurse or Doctor by Heaven." From his pocket hangs a paper: 'Foreign Circular' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13282]. After the title: 'When mountains cry out, people may well be excused the apprehension of some prodigious Birth, this was the case the Public were all at their wits end, to consider what would be the Issue, and instead of the dreadfull Monster that they expected, out comes at last a contemptible Mouse--The Moral.

- "Ministers and others dance in a ring round a Green Bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) resting on a horizontal beam which is supported on a post. Round post and bag cling poisonous plants labelled 'Devils Bit', 'Enchanters Nightshade', 'Scorpion Grass', and 'Henbane'. The wide-mouthed bag is filled with Italian witnesses, clamouring with eager hands stretched towards Leach, the Vice-Chancellor, who stands in the centre of the bag, towering above them. In each hand he holds out a sheaf of bills or notes inscribed 'Promise'; he says: "Gentlemen a [sic] we are now about brining [sic] this business to a close, allow me to address a few words to you; as its not at all improbable that you may be d . . . d roughly handled by my Countrymen, be sure and be firm, stick one and all of you to your depositions--don't be brow beaten and thrown of your guard your priest will give you absolution, and here are some promises that will enable you to return home and buy Principalities.!!!" The witnesses answer: "Me want l'Argent"; "de Monte ... "; "Sacre Bleu de Monie"; "Monie M ..."; "Me no Sware widout Monie"; "No promise, de Monie"; "Si, Si, Diavilo de monies." The King stands behind the post, concealed from the waist up by the bag; his words float up towards Leach: "Why Deputy Bags [i.e. deputy to Eldon] could you not have picked out a more respectable set of Scoundrels." Facing the King, and in back view, are Sidmouth and Castlereagh, holding hands and capering delightedly. The former says: "Derry we want music, can't you whiste [sic] Lillibulero?" Castlereagh answers: "Faith Doctor I sing small, and can't whistle at all; you had [sic] give us a tune on your pipe" [the clyster-pipe hanging from Sidmouth's pocket, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849]. The Attorney-General, Gifford, holds Sidmouth's left hand; he looks up at Leach, saying, "He is exalted sure enough! well! I hope to be in time! else wherfore breathe I in a Christian Land!" Canning, on the extreme left, holding the hands of Gifford and (?) Lord Harrowby, exclaims: "Egad I hope they won't cut his throat before he gets rid of them! what an exit for Vice!--" In his pocket is a paper: 'Canning jests'. Between Harrowby and the (concealed) King stands Wellington, less caricatured than the others; he says: "Why he has skimed the Very Scum of the Country Sire!" Holding Castlereagh's right hand is Lord Eldon, in Chancellor's wig and gown; he looks up at Leach, saying, "There you are Vice! up to your knees in iniquity!--" Next him and on the extreme right is Wilberforce, with lank hair and drawn-down mouth. He cries: "The Lord have mercy upon him and help him safe down again! what a cut throat Crew." Facing the Chancellor, and holding the King's left hand, is the Archbishop of Canterbury, fat and grinning (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13276); he says: "Our pious brother there Will by-force ejaculate something holy!" Between them is a partly concealed head."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A large quasi-cylindrical Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735, stands at an angle with the ground like a mortar (and suggesting the Regent's Bomb, see British Museum Satires No. 12799), aimed at the Queen (left), who stands with right arm raised, left hand on breast, demonstrating innocence. Castlereagh touches it with a firebrand inscribed Lies, as if putting a match to a touch-hole; flames and papers shoot from the bag, but strike against the large shield, inscribed "Truth" and "Inocence," held by a woman in classical draperies, who is air-borne above the Queen, and raises the flaming sword Justice. She says fiercely: "Back to your Native Hell." She and the Queen are irradiated by a sun in the upper left corner. The flames are inscribed "Adultry" and "Charges"; the papers are "Evidence of the Baron Ompteda Lies &c" [see British Museum Satires No. 13745]; "Adultry with a servant" [Bergami]; "Charges." The blasts of flame strike on the shield and ricochet back against Castlereagh and his supporters, and downwards upon writhing serpents and a skull which have come out of the bag. These boomerang-flames are "Charges Repeld" and "Charges"; they terminate in great clouds of "Smoke." Behind Castlereagh (the only one who stands his ground, though alarmed) are Sidmouth holding his nose, (?) Sir John Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740), and two others, poorly characterized; these four are escaping to the right."--British Museum catalogue and A satire on Viscount Castlereagh as a leader in the prosecution of Queen Caroline

The latter shrieks: "Theodore!! my Daughter too! ah! what have I done!!! Oh speak." The ghost, garbling Hamlet's words (III. iv, ll. 40-5; 92-4): "Such an Act good Mother, as blurs the / "Grace and Blush of Modesty, calls Virtue Hippocrite / "makes marriage vows as false as Dicers Oaths--Oh / "such a deed! to live in the rank sweat of an / ensemen'd bed stived [sic] in Corruption." Majocchi says: "Non mi Ricardo" [sic]. Beside the Queen, and on the extreme right, are Brougham and Denman, her counsel; they hold documents inscribed 'Defence of the Queen' and 'Queens Defence'.

- Abstract:
- "John Bull (left), wearing a star centred by a heart: 'Queens Order of Knighthood', furiously kicks Italian witnesses from a quay into the sea, where (right) a boat waits to take them to a packet-boat. His bull-dog is about to bite, and he raises a massive bludgeon, kicking a lean grenadier with an empty sleeve, to whose back is tied a large green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) inscribed 'Infernal Lies from Como' [cf. No. 13857]. On this capers a demon, holding a noose above the Italian's head, and in the left hand a little gibbet from which hangs a tiny effigy of the Grenadier with his bundle. The Italian holds a stiletto and wears a high cap with dangling bell on which are skull and cross-bones. J. B. shouts: "This is Freedom's own Land, 'tis the land of the Queen, Where no hired traducers shall ever be seen, Be off each vile Eunuch--be off high and low or I'll knock you to H--ll with an Englishmans blow!!" The Italian looks back to say: "If thus you pay Italian Spies I'll bring no more Infernal Lies" Another Italian wearing braided livery is knee-deep in the sea, he looks back angrily at John, holding dagger and pistol. A terrified foreigner, ragged but fashionable, leaps towards the water, exclaiming: "Diable!! Jean Anglaise [sic]." A woman with a bunch of keys, in full flight, pours the contents of a 'Pot de Chambre' over a grotesque lawyer (Leach), who is racing down steps to the water with a green bag of 'Lies from Milan'. She says: "Dis Pot contains mine Evidence--do taste it Signor Horse Leach, you vill find very strong proof of Guilt." Leach, looking over his shoulder, says: "This Business smells strong We have kept it too long" A sturdy sailor standing in a boat at the foot of the steps fends him off with a boat-hook, saying: "Shew me a clean bill of health signed Caroline or by G d you sha'nt come on board here."."--British Museum online catalogue
