The Dutch and French Papers have a contrary tendeder.

It is said, that he is to have an inter-' v ie w with the Emperor ALEXANDLEI, at AVeitnar. Marshal LANNES, it seems, is to have the com mand in chief of the army in gpain. We yesterday inserted a translation of the armis tice signed by Sir ARTHUR WEL Ll:art:Y r on the last.—lt was published in French in _The Extraordinary puttee, on Friday night, and, as we stated yesterday, was accidentally omitted in our paper of Saturday-, The Gn;ette not having reacLe I us until a very late hour. This el:nibs:au is made the suliject of a leading article in The 31orniv, Chronicle of yesterday, in which it is directly and positively cha'rged us has Mg Leen made on purpose " from tenderness to Sir ARTHUR WRELESLET," accompanied with a hint of our duty to our Sub seribers. The charge of The Morning Chronicle is falss, and for evidence of its palpable falsehood, we 'night refer to the uniform character and you duct of Tee Barrisit Pity.ss, and particularly to its conduct with regard to Sir ARTHUR AYELLES LET—upon whom we feur that, instead of tieing gu Ity cf 'partiality towards that gallant Officer, our reader! may think we have pressed ton hard;whilc, up to Friday last, Tile Morning C'hroniele condescended to copy all the fulsome pads in his praise that ap peared in the Ministerial Prints, to the disgrace of a free tad independent press. The cause of this incon sisteuey in The Morning Chronicle, and the desertion of Sir ARTHUR WELI.ESLEY, we caunot divine. Sir Animus Wbi.J.Est.er, abstractedly, is perhaps a fa vourite. The Wv.l.csi.b.vs are recently arrived from lu.lia Arc we then to suppose, that Sir NEW D 4 LIT:ME has obtained a weightier influence in The M e nsisig Chronicle, and that Sir ititroult is to be bac:Merit to is preponderating power ? Rut to come to the hint of our duty to our seibscribers : During tive last Session of Parliament, The Morn ing Chronicle presented nothing but so uniform mica of ounvvions, of the most important nature.—. In its Parliamentary reports, the speeches of all the leading Members of Parliament were either luiire preiftWordei.surbied, we totally oweitted. upon the Orders of Council, and other great points of public interest, while they were faithfully reported in Tr.e Byrom PRESS. These omissions were base. be cause they were wilful ;—t reachefoipk. Ift•CRUSt uuez pected ;—and they were most ungrateful, because to the party injured by those oinissious, the Proprie tor of The Chronicle owes all of health and worldly means diet he possesses. nit these uniform, base anti ungrateful instances of neglect of duty to its subscribers we never attacked. We felt not the little passions and malignant interests of a selfish rival, and left The Chronicle to the fate which public justice would inflict, without any call from us. Upon the Catholic Question, and two or three others of national importance, The Morn ing C'hroniele was also, or affected to be, our friend and supporter, Red with such a mass of barefaced venality and prostitution before us, as the avowedly Ministerial Prints present, untouched aid no swanlidl it was not to be etcpected that we should fall foul of an ally, though ever so lukewarm, hollow, and uncertain. The public iiiilignatiort the anthora of the late disgraceful Convention, fir from bring diminished by time, seems to gain force. The interval that bas elapsed, since Friday last, only confirms anal strengthens the sentiments originally entertained on the subject. That Sir ARTRPR WELLEsLET is implicated in * the condemnation affixed to Sir Hew DALRYMPLL's conduct, is, after all, of little nioinent. But it is a matter of the first import ance to know whether. as is now strongly sus pcct.d, the Administration have been in possession of the intelligence fur a fortnight, veer since the first dispatch of the suil August ? If, knowing, or baring reason to believe, that such a Convention was signed; they did not, without a moment's loss of time, send out orders to disown it, they are themselves partakers in the culpability of Sir FIRM DALRYMPLE. %Ye presume, that Ministers will be eager and anxious to justify themselves from such an imputation. Should they not, it is impossible to doubt, that, whenever Parliament meets, it oill become an object of inquiry, or of accusation.— The more we consider this ignominious act in all its bearings, as affecting our allies, our enemies, and our own honour, military as well as national, the more dots it call for our reprobation.-w. It is the peculiar character of this transaction to Present, in wbatcrer light it is viewed, nothing but disaster and dkgrace. 'Whether considered in its Present or its remote consequences, in relation to trance and England, directly or indirectly, affect = their respective allies, we find, in every pert, oasething to irritate our feiliw,•v. tre wound our' l pride, and impair our interests. flow pond atid gtutif)ing a distinction is it to the Cfin,icao En)- parer. while his cian beaten arnie is restored to him, to extend his protection to the shattered and tem pest-heaten fleet of his Nluseovite ! Such au act mast, we doubt not, cement more than eve: the political ties that already connect the Cabinets of Petersburgh and of St. Cloud. The obligation of ALEgasePia to his worthy Imperial ally is indeed by no means slight, and- can hardly be overrated. Nine *hips of the line, and oue frigate, the whole of which only entered the Tagus, in order to avoid the perils of navigating the Bay of Biscay, and *hid?' could not have ventured to pass up the Bri tish Channel, on aesiouak of the certainty of twin captured, se are" to be held in deposit by His MASZ,ITY,- till six mouths after a definitive Treaty of Peace with Resole, and to be theta restored. - - Who would not, oa perusing such an agrrentem, conceive that we acre the allies, instead of the ene mies of the CZAR Could we have done hisn u greater scrice, than thus to retain, and, final!), to restore to him a fleet, of which it was impossitals: for him otherwise to regain the po*weition ? To . Russia they were for aver lost already. In order to render the heneat complete, it only rent:Aim:if " to *cud the Russian officera and seamen of the fleet immediately to Russia, without conditions." This stipulation is annexed. With reason a ill 130.• NAPARTI; assert, that it is intentionally done hy the treacherous ally of GUSTAYUM ADOLPIII3A, in order to punish that Prime fur his treatment of our Ge neral, Sir JOHN Mount:. lis truth it tics some re semblance to such in, intention. It is not one of the least mliontages to be de rived from the late action in the lialtte, that it map prevent afly such IttalaVOU.siiiile impression upon the mind of (z....tVarAlrOS ADOLPHUS. When lie looks to the brilliant result of the action of Port Baltic, he will not despise British its,i,tance. The noble and generons spirit that breaths in the letters of Sir SAMUEL Ileosi Islay serve to preserve his esteem. That spirit; we rejoice to find, is kindred t o his own. Its his letter, •in which lie so hand.oinely de clines to accept the Russian colour...Ole s.ays, w The distinguiihed gallantry displayed by Rear- AdmitalifooD, and the olii,:cra and men under his onb-rs, tits MAjitstY considers at the most un questionable prilof of the . cloile connexion which unites the two nations." Captain DAtr.VMPLE left town, on Saturday night, with dir t ,: tches for Sir Hew DALILYMPLE. We pity him—fie carries the reproaches of a 0 hole nation to his tither. Diairttelier from Sir SAMUEL Hoop, and Rl.° from Cord Cuta.mtvouu, were yerterury receited at the ,tikiiiralty. Captain HALSTeIs was catieeted to 'return yester day with dispatcher for Sir *. Comm. The Expedition under Sir DAvto BAIRD sailed from Cork Sunday se'nnight. It, first isnot of destination is undostood to lie Falmouth.

Extract of a lettor from the camp near Lisbon, the day of the Capitulation :--" it is impossible for yin, to eoneeiye the poignant sensations felt by every British individual tu the army,on knowing the terms ; the murmur was universal and loud, and nothing but tile characteristic subord i nation of British soldiers prevented a in—; it sent a dag ger to every heart. If ever it were lawful for infe riors to arrest superior officers, here it would hare been praise -worthy, and have prevented that heart piercing deg radation to which this Capitulation has reduced us. We do desire that the Capitula tion they be broken, slid that JutroT, and his army, and that the Russian fleet, may be reinstated exactly as they, were, mil that a common Corporal may be giveu us as a commander—the rest leave to the army. The insolence or the French is insufferable. they say--. You dam Inglis, you no victory—we beat you—you snlunit to our term—we dictate all —we take alt—you pay de expense to send us to France—s.wa go light de Spaniard—de Russians fight you and de Swede—we be master de vurlde.' 1 leave you, from this short specimen, to suppose our Immiliatioo." A most atrocious act of barbarity was practised sear Swindon, Wilts, on Friday last.—Same re cruits, on the march from Ireland to the Isle of Wight, attacked the post-boy going from Swindon to slarlborough, without the least provocation. They commenced by heating his horse with their sticks, and then fell on the boy. One held his horse, while others attacked the boy about the head, shoulders, and loins, and did not desist until they Mid knocked him off his horse, and left him almost lifeless. Some persons passing some time after, found him in that state, and took him back to Swindon. One of the Magistrates immediately went to Marlborough, and had the men exantiued ; when the Serjeant, who accompanied the recruits, stated, that the men had been guilty of similar violence at several places; and it is reported, that, in the neighbourhood of Worcester, they had w tually killed a tradesman, who was travelling I, that and had threatened to serve him, the ca nt, in the same way. The poor post.boy i s so i I, that little hopes are entertained of his reco very. The men are all now in custody, and we trust that si4nal vengeance will be taken on such barbarous miscreants.
