A Gottenburgh Mail arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the 15th of March. They state, upon the authority of rumours from various quar ters. that the French army is retreating, and that its head-quarters ►ere expefted to be shortly retnov. ed to Berlin. These rumours are unauthenticated, and merely evince the popular feeling upon the Continent. The general belief of the defeat of the French must power fully contribute to produce that result. We have repeatedly stated that Viscount Mac kto be replaced on the Privy Council List. This intention is now avowed by the Miniszelial Prints. The Duke of RICHMOND, the new Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland, is the same person who fought a duel with His Royal Highness the Duke of' You, and is a General in the army, in which he is a favourite. Besides his military quali fications, which may be desirable in a Gover nor of that country, his Grace has other qualities that may recommend him to the Irish people. lie is a pleasant and convivial companion. The present Marquis of TOWNSMEN!) used to boast that it cost him 60,0001. when Lord Lieutenant of Ire land, to drink dawn the Aristocracy of that country. The Duke of RICHMOND has as strong a head as the Marquis; and as the re sident Aristocracy is thinned' a little by the Union, he will be able to accomplish that task, with less expense of his purse, or his constitution. His Grace has also the advantage of a local know ledge of the country ; having, when General Le nox, served there with his regiment. On that .)cc.asinn he was accompanied by the Duchess, than whom, there is Ina a more amiable woman. His Grace's charisaer, as a Politician and States man, is all that remelt.% to be ascertained.— Sir Aaanue Wacaascee certainly succeeds Mr. liLmos., as Secretary in Ireland ; and Baron SOT TON is to be the new Lord Chancellor, in the room of Mr. CLOROX POMiONBY ; bat Mr. Fusexa has not yet decided upon takirg the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer for that pert if the United King dom. Indeed, it was not to be expe.led that such a wary.expelienced plactinau, would jump at the offer, however grateful to his feelings. He can plead the uncertainty of Alze, and the many sliffiemlties and expenses attending it. Besides " the world for getting, and by the world forgot," he meant to have devoted the rest of his hie to agricultural pursuits. rise improvements upon his estates, now carrying in under his own rye, which would greatly increase their value, must cease uron his entering into office. All these probable losses and inc. Iveniences should be foreseen, and provided fur in a hand.ome manner. If this modern Ci sic inn...sus is to be br 'tight from the plough to save the State, be crog .t not to suffer by his patriotism ! ! ! Two of the daily Prints have already rate•'', and gone over to the candle-ends and cheese-par:ngs.— A man who loves the treason, may hate ti:e traitor. They have been accordingly receive], As deserters generally are—with jealousy and suspidon. The Courier. of last night, the favourite slave in the Ministerial Seraglio, charges one of these whim. sical Prints with saying, •• Thus, in the last war between France act' Austria, the Emperor A essisrosa was styled •a drunken driveller.""— This passage, quoted by The Courier, is from The Morning Herold, one of the two rats which we have alluded to as baying just insinuated themselves into the Ministerial Pantry. We assert this with po sitiveness and precision i because we well remember that we telt it our duty, at the time, to mark this vire libel of that Phsrasaical Print with our warm an I honest indignation. But the illiberality and jealousy of Tee Courier is not the less reprehensible on that account. We see in its condusl the same sordid, and selfish policy, that has uniformly anuated its leading Conduan ; a man, one day the foul-mouthed calumniator of the late Mr. Pit T, and the next his most I olsonic and disgusting parasite. We see in its comlu.ll that jealousy and selfishness that will not bear a brother near the Throne; de tilrmined, if it can, to secure a monopoly of all the crumbs and crusts of the Ministerial table. If he meant honestly and fairly to the party which he professes to espouse, he would court assistance ; he wont] not, when the poor Parses Treffrher, of The Morning Ktrnhl, cried out peer.. vi, and professed the new faith, have thus floated him with gibes and jeers on the very nest day after that en which the Parson had allured the heretical doCtrinei of the late Minis try, and publicly read his recantation It is very nue, Par,.,. Truthber may ir,o back from th.e Duke of Bent ORD to Joey Fusrsa; the /veer of Bray is a charaCter that fburishes in every age ; but it was dont-eight Jacobin wantonness and mischief, to repro toll him with the story of •' The Drunken Dativvi ler," at the very moment when he was humle!y ten dering his assistance. Bat while we pity the poor thraid thus unmercifully insulted and eh estised, we cannot avoid making a few observations upon the party intAing the punishment. tie surely ought not to have any heavy political crimes, with which to reproach himself ; no terAiversetions nor turnings, to lessen him in public estimation.— The very name of The Couriee, which associates it self with the French Revolution, as regularly as the name of Ma RAT or ROBE,PIIRRE, shews that The Carrier Was the last print in England that ought to dare to ding the first stone. Te The herald, thus cruelly upbraided, if it has any spirit, we leave the business of reminding it of its old falsehoode. We shall, for the present, content ourselves nith a brief notice of two or three in its number of yesterday._ Alluding to the system of economy pradised by the late Ministers, it observes—" Mr. Paw tv•i.," the Ex-Ministers say, "has begun well—he has de clined to accept one office, till it was rendered nso:e worthy of his acceptance by attaching to it the salary of another."—Thi, form the Gazeivio Le Gazelle! And what did Lord GRINVILLE do? lie would not accept of office till it was rendered more worthy his acceptance. by attaching to it the salary of Auditor of the Escirriquer, though he had, bos;Jes, a private fortune of not less than 20,000! a year !" Now we do profess to be guid ed in our observations by a spirit of truth and can dour, perfeCtly free from all undue influence, and by that profession we with to be judged by the public. Let us not then be snipe:tea of party feeling, because we have mole than once found it our duty to proteft Lord GERNVILLt against the malice and falsehood of his enemies.—Let us only have credit, so far as we are able to make out his defence by faCts, without sophistry or misrepresentation. This charge of a voracity for places, equal to that professed by Mr. Neely* c, has been frequently made by the present Ministers, and it is full time to give it an answer. It pleased His MAJesTY, on the death of Mr. PITT, to com mand Lord Garrevtxxs to form a New Adminis tration ; placing, at the same time, his Lordship at the head of it, as First Lord of the Treasury. But his Lor..llhip was then, and had been fur a long time before, Auditor of the Exchequer ; and this being considered incompatible with his new ap pointment, an Aa was passed, making the two offices compatible in one and the seine person ; which, in fad, was nothing more then an As to remove a• disqualification, under which his Lordship laboured, and enable him ro cbey His Maassie's commands. Now what was the case of Mr. Paacevax ? He is entitled to the reversion cf Registrar to the Admiralty, he is Clerk of the Irons, and Surveyor of the Meltings in the Mint, arid he is offered the place of Chancellor of the Etchequer ; and yet this place, to which, in his wildest dreams of ambiti in, he could not have hoped, twelve months ago, that Fortune, in her most whimsical mood, would over. exalt' him, he re fuses to accept, unless accompanied by the Duchy of Lancaster ; and that not during pleasure, as it has been hitherto held, but fattened and distended into a place for life, to gratify his craving appetite. This is the plain state of the two cases ; which, in stead of affording a parall-I, present a contrast. Lord GRENVILLE', by coming into office, obtained one place ; Mr. PERCEVAL has obtained two. Lord Gearivitoos has gone out of office precisely as he Cann into it. Mr. Neese-et sought to vssess himself of a snug sinecure, to remain to him for life, after he should be di=possessed of office. No two cases can be more distinA and different. To call upon Lord GRENVILLE to give up the office of Auditor of the Exchequer, to qualify himself to obey His MAIInTY'S commands, by placing himself at the head of the Treasury, would be to put his Lordship in a worse situation than any other of His M cowry's subje!ts, upon whom His MAJESTY could confer that 11 , 41011 r. We shall only notice, at present, one more source of misrepresentation and falsehood. Alluding to the explanations of V:scount I iowicx and Lord CR1,41,11.1E. in Parliament, T&. Courier of yes terday charges as a crime, that these Noblemen ad mitted Ireland to be the past of the Empire where ins asion was most praflicable." And this, the wri ter contends, is holding out encouragement to the Catholics to persist in their claims, and making them wish for the success of I3orearme re, as ren dering concessions to the Catholics more necessary. The argument of Lotels Gereelcle and Howiec was this. The greater the successes cf Ban APA RT C, the greater should be our military force; and our measure is desirable, ►ecause it will in crease that force, by encouraging the Catholics of Ireland to enlist more largely and Feely into the army ;—in other words—we recommend this :pea sure, not from love or affeCtion, not from a sense of justice to the Catholics, but for the sake of our tom. mon safety. It is well worthy indeed of Courier to impute this motive as a crime in whom it would represent as unduly a'tach.d partial to the interests of the Catholics. I s well worthy of The rvirier to insinuate, this was giving a hint of disloyalty to Irish, and invasion to the enemy. Ti! I; would Lever have known, had not Lords G. vitae and Lead Howtctt told them, that, by ing into the army, they increase it ; nor worth E NAP ARTS, poor fool! have erer thought the ir, Ilion of Ireland pranicable, had net Lord GU vit.LE betrayed the important secret. Three s, . during the late war, did France attempt Op ier sion of Deland. lti 1711;, the invadioz fl lay, for several days, at anchor in g A French force afterwards etitally landod t . K lala, and penetrated a considerable way j o t, country ; and a third force had reached the r. of Donegal, when Sir JOHN B. WARR E N f, Innately came up with it.—Do not the Lis'. • whose memory all these events are fresh, know e t invasion is praßicable, and that their country is t!' most vulnerable part of the United Kingdom It is folly to suppose, that, by shutting our eyes, to shall avoid danger; and that if we do not look at ourselves, no one will see us. Yet, such is the con!, which the calumniator of the late Ministry carol prescribe, in order that he may have some') with which to reproac:i them. The county of Fermanagh has addre sse d ' Representatives in Parliament, depvecatin g t h agitation of the Catholic claims, and eatreat;ng that all possible opposition may be given to theni.—fhe late Ministers having completely • given up the question, in obedience to His M. Jss - rr, the Address of the C-unty of fem. magi), had they remained i s office, would btu been just as unnecessary as it is at present. As some of our contemporaries, however, attempt n infer, from the =due of this particular eru-A-, that the sense of the country in general is *pia,: the Catholic claims, for the purpose of geardi7 against misrepresentation, we think it necessary to state, that the Clunty of Fermanagh it one of t:t in which the Orange spirit prevails in an espc.i.l degree.
