"Naval mutineers, seated and standing at a long table, glare ferociously at Admiral Buckner, who stands (left) calmly, hat in hand, in profile to the right at the foot of the table. The man at the head of the table, seated in a chair which is higher than the others, holds a blunderbuss and wears a hat. He must be Richard Parker, but does not resemble him. At his elbow and on the extreme right stands Thelwall filling a glass from a 'Grog' can; he says "Tell him we intend to be Masters, I'll read him a Lecture"; from his pocket hangs a paper: 'Thellwals Lecture' (see British Museum Satires No. 8685). One man only is seated on the president's left and on the near side of the table. He places a fist on a long paper headed 'Resolutions'. Under the table in the foreground, lifting up the tablecloth, five secret instigators are (left to right): Lauderdale, holding a paper: 'Letter from Sheerness to Ld L------le'; Horne Tooke, Stanhope, Grey, Fox, the most prominent, saying, "Aye, Aye, we are at the bottom of it", and Sheridan. All have satisfied smiles. Four ruffians are seated at the farther side of the table, others stand behind them; one aims a pistol over the admiral's head, one man smokes, another chews tobacco, taking a quid from his box. Weapons lie on the table. On the wall behind them are a print of Britannia head downwards, and two torn ballads: 'True Blue an old Song' and 'Hearts of Oak are our Ships Jolly Tars are our men We alway are Ready', the last word scored through. On the right the slanting window of the captain's cabin is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

"The representatives of four Powers are grouped along the nearer side of a long table covered with a heavy fringed cloth. On the left a Hollander sits on a high three-legged stool, smoking, and looking up at a Spanish don who sits on the table holding a guitar. On his stool is a map of the 'Cape of Go[od] Hope]'. From his bulky breeches pocket project (left) a pipe and tobacco-box, (right) a rolled 'Map of Ceylon'. The three bars which connect the legs of the stool are inscribed respectively: 'Spain', 'France', 'Holland'. Behind him are two small casks. He says: "You may as well let John Bull enjoy his Dream and go on with your Duett and I'll fill another pipe - ca Ira". He wears a bonnet-rouge. Spain answers: "A ha I see this is a Jostling Match between them by St Jago I'll at Malbroke again." France stands in back view, holding a violin and flourishing his bow: he looks to the left, singing,"Monsr de Malbroke est mort - Eh Vel, Vat now Objections encore - est meme est enterrée" Propped up on the table is his music-book with the words 'Malbrook s'en . . .' . [For the vogue of the song, both before the Revolution and under Napoleon, see de Vinck, i. 384-8.] Lord Malmesbury sits (right) in profile to the right in an arm-chair, asleep. He dreams: 'Lord Mac | [Malmesbury was accompanied by Lord Granville Leveson Gower (who returned to England, arriving 15 Aug.), Lord Morpeth, and Lord Pembroke. One of them is presumably 'Lord Mac'.] has got back | And all his trouble's ended | But I fear | I shall stay here, | Till all the Wine's expended'. He wears a ribbon and star. Two empty wine-bottles lie on the ground beside him. On the table is a decanter of 'Malms[ey]', while France has one of 'Cham-pa[gne]'. On the wall hangs a plan of a fort inscribed 'Lisle'. The words of Spain relate to two men who jostle each other in a doorway (left): an Englishman holds many bundles of papers under his left arm which have become entangled with a still larger bundle under the right arm of a Frenchman. Both bundles are docketed 'Objections ...'. The sturdy Englishman in riding-dress wears at his button-hole the greyhound of a King's Messenger. The lanky Frenchman, who wears a bonnet-rouge over hair in curling-papers, says: "O by Gar Jack Anglois you vil squeze my gob out vid your great bundle of Objections." The other answers: "Why you French foutre I think your own bundle is most likely to do it You have a rare lot of them, make way d'ye hear."--British Museum online catalogue
