The e, since the charge has appeared in this country, which the French goverment has made. against them, have been inspected by Lord Castlereagh. Five of them are beyond all dispute genuine, and these so far establish a cae - reainst Murat, that, had Count Rlacas been ba . .e enoeell (-) attempt such an imposition, he could have had no motive for forging the other three. But in the Fiend) -Papers a letter is given from Lord Wellington, in which he expresses himself satisfied that Murat was ac tually cotrintlei to ho,tilities with• France under Buona ipa rte. This letter, and well it must be known to the French Government, referred to documents totally dis tinct from those which Lord Castlereagh lately submitted to Parliament. In thus pressing into the support of fraud tie letter of that gallant chieftain, their meaurie , s and in famy must disgust every honourable mind : and what ad ilitional indignation must not be felt when it is known, that en those documents, we mean those descri!;ed in the French papers to be forgeries, the Duke of Wellington has written to his Government, that the undoubted proofs which they contained of Murat's treachery had totally changed his opinion. That having submitted these to the Allied Sovereigns, they, satisficd of his duplicity, had been unanimously of opinion that an attack on his power was necessary - to their own security. This wretched attempt to make the world believe that Murat was not treated by Buonaparte in the way de seribed in the letter produced by Lord Castlereagh, must be seen through 1) y every one. It cannot be supposed that ":_oust Maras would unnecessarily have ventured on so elaborate a forgery as that which he is represented succeisfully to have accomplished in the French Papers. Enough was proved for his purpose by those papers which came into his possession, of which the authenticity cannot be goestioned. Yet is this barefaced falsehood put forth in the face of Europe by that Government which our reform res here would fain have us to believe, meets with the uni versal approbation of the French people, and is in every respect infinitely preferable to that of Louis XVIIIth. Some idea of the truth and honour which distinguish it may he formed from a perusal of the facts which we have here briefly narrated ; and we doubt not each succeeding tveek will furnish fre. , ,,li proofs of the same predominating spirit.
