The Tsar (right) stands with eagerly outstretched hands facing four of the English Cabinet (left) who obsequiously proffer money-bags inscribed 'Russian Loan'. A bear's muzzle projects from his own sour-looking profile. Grey kneels in front of his colleagues on a document: 'Treaty of 1815'. He says: 'Your Imperial Majesty has trampled upon Poland, Your Imperial Majesty has mock'd at our influences, Your Imperial Majesty has laugh'd at our threats, Your Imperial Majesty has spat upon us; and for all this we consent to pay your Imperial Majesty's Debts!!!' The others are (left to right) Brougham in wig and gown with one money-bag, Althorp and Russell, each with two bags and more servile than Brougham. On the right, across a narrow channel, stands a fat Dutch burgher (Holland) in bulky breeches smoking a long pipe, and saying, 'I shan't pay myne share John Bull is von dam fool von very dam fool'.  February 1832?
