v i ew s quite distinct from the public good. Com.. pronised it could not be, without following infinitely more to be dreaded that's 'Easy evil to be apprehended from a steady opposition to anneal demands, if Government possess the means of malting it. 6 6 Thanks to the loyalty of his Majosty's of those of the Honourable Company, who are adhering to their duty, and to the discriminating se.nsc of the Native Officers, the apprehension of an y great ultimate danger to the State seems to be r obsiding. The desperate experiment of forcing Govern:Bent, of substituting in effect an aristocra cy (the worst of all Governments), in place of the' WIC miler which . it is our happiness to live, will, there is now reason to hope, he def. ated without the difficulty that might have been expected. In the mean time, Gentlemen, it b..•romos us at such a moment to retognize, in the . acts of the peer, the discharge of extreme and painful duty. It should be remembered, th it the 11:itish Este. blishments in India represent the authority of the state at home, in which their conductors are seve rally reeponsible. It is some time since, they could no longer, slim propriety, be considered in tho limited view of mere chartered Goxernments. They have stood now for several years on the laudation of a celebrated Act of Parliament de. ION! their powers and relation, with reference to which latter they may be regarded as national Go. vermacists, us much as any other within the Etn- V ire , to ahi els the King directly appoints. Against such .', authority it is, that many of the Con 's thlicers may be considered as at this mu. loot i t , ar ms; many more in a sleet of desertion from their duty, having inrapacitated themselves Nei performing it by declining to abide by the tenor of their Commissions. In such a state of things, Gentlemen, is it for the Government to. surrender? Distress might compel it, it must be extreme, however, indeed, to justify a thought of the kind. if it hare the means of protecting the public authority, it is its duty to assert them for that purpose to the utmost. 16 Gentlemen, the sentiments which upon this occasion L wish to convey, occur in a paper I have Isfely had occasion to see, so stated, that while I a.!01. , my charge by their insertion, I think I c4ll - more effectually serve the gauss to which they than by °flexing then to you 'Li I find them expressed. _ - • " I should Pineerelx hope (says the Writer of it) that 11 there is III) biter, hi/Never deluded by his passions, who, " 13 procure redress for his grievances, will delitteratelyius " lily au tact of resistauce itgailat th e legal and established aullimity of Government.

On the first appearance of disaffectlOn in the • Coast Army, special 'massagers were dispatched by thelndian Government tip all the Native Courts, in order to explain the circumstances which gave rise to it, dissipate any apprehensions which might be entertained of its effects, and wetch the dispo. sitions of the Native rowers in convegel". l thereof.

THE arrival of Majoe Mau l on Saturday, from India, with intelligence of the rtiluctiun of the Insurgents, has, fur the present, dispelled the gloom in Leadonhall.street. An (Meer of the name of MACKINTOSII ) who appears to have been active in the insurrection, wait wounded in the short cuutlict, and s . subscqueutly made prisoner. The nature and origin of this resistance against the Constituted Authorities aro perhaps nut yet fully developed—and we wait with much anxiety nut only for the next public, but private edifices' front India on this interesting sulk)ect. It may, however, be assumed that the resfAting Nativo'regiments have been subt i tled. Of•the Europeau t regiment, which was reported to have resisted, there scums to be no clear account. The William bad also dispatches on board from Lord CALEDUN, Admiral BERTIx, and Mr. l'utiocx, all of which, on the appearance of a French privateer in the chops of the Channel, titrestened, by her manoeuvres, to lay-the William on hoard, were immediately cut away and thrown overboard. Denim PAPERS to the 12th last. have been re. ceived.

" - A letter alto appears in these Papers from NA. POLION to Count Ducats, who retires from his ►ituation of Minister of the Administration of War, 'for the purpose of devoting himself each!. aively to the duties of his more important office of Surveyor-General of Artillery and Engineers. NAPOLEON tells him, that " the experience of fifty years makes his assistance necessary in completing the works which he has commenced 6 4 on his fruntisrs, •and which he intends to en.

' 'The Count DE Sassy, In a speech addressed to 0 Legislativo Body, affords a further proof of 6. great encouragement held out in Franco to the tton manufacture—for, in proposing to give the inhabitants of France permission to purchase pro hibited goods, captured by privateers, all articles if cotton and linen are to be expressly excepted. HAD Lord CASTLERBSGIT, OT his officious Friends, thankfully acquiesced in the explanation of Mr. WAIIIIMAK ) the discueslon that, has been provoked by the " Circular" would Inver have taken place. It was not to be expected that Mr. CORBETT would tamely see a stetemeut impeached, which be bad made epos no less authority than that of a Committee el the Masse of Commons. We have new the pleasure of prepilidtig our Reader, with a refutation by Mr. COURIETT I WIIich must (if *sr such could exist) dissipate all doubt ' oa this subject. Of the correctness of tLe statements made by Mr. COERISTT I We are convinced there is but one opinion ; fee it must be obvious to every reader , of The Political Register ; that, in every political statement, reference is given to aulhenlicat. ed documents. The remark, with which we prefaced the " Circular," appear to have bean misconceived by Mr. Comm; as admit ting his statement to hare been " iin t rue .l9 This misconception we lament ; for not only was it uot.our intention to admit from any one even 'suck en insinuation, but we have no hesitation in' avowing outi Opinion, that Mr. COBISETT is hug. paltle of giving to the Public any statement whic h is even doubtfat. Besides, we had before us the very documents from which the material parts of that statement were takeu, and therefore could not doubt the fact. Ma.

If any thing had teen *Jutting to &Milne° the public of the infamy of the proceedings that hai been resorted to in order to injure the character of] Colonel Wardle, the proofs are now, fortunately, ' in our hands, and given to us by those very mis creants who have evidently sad notoriously been employed by the Public is obbers. la one of their wockly hireling prints they have lately inserted the following letter from Colonel Wardle to Mr . Glenie " M_y dear Sir, ' Eighto'clock. Saturday atoning. " Wilt you. after seeing Mr. Wright the Upholoerer.

"GM. Li...WARDLE." Now this letter, in itself, is conclusive as to the fact, that Colonel•Wardle had not made himself .responsible for the pugment of Mrs. Clarke's furniture; for it is nut within the range of passi bility that he could have written surit aTetter ; if he had, for what does Ins ask ? Why that Mr. Glcnie would prevail upon Mr. Wright to give Mrs. Clarke an extension of credit fur a month, that her mind might be rendered perfectly easy ! !! —That Colonel ‘Vardle was right in his coujcc. ture, thit Mr. Glonie and himself would hare coin. mitted themselves as well as Mrs. Clarke, if they had become parties in procuring her a loan upon the credit of her book, through the medium of the bookseller, was fully confirmed J,y the opinion of an cranium& Counsel, who had the perusal of the work. But now to the proof, the damning proof, of the infamous means resoled to, to injure Col. ‘Vardle!! You have before you his letter to Mr. Glenie, in plain and Irsibto character, you also shall have before you an extract from Mr. Francis Wright's Appeal to the Public, given in Ike Na tional Register on the 43d of July, 1809, In which he offers to you what he terms the purport of this very letter, which was, as he states, shown to him by Mr. Glenie on the day on which it was written, Saturday, Dec. 17th, 1808. • " Ear/tam—Some days elapsed before I heard from the " Colmnel ; at length a air. Glenie called upon me with a " letter he had received from Col. Wardle, 14 hich later he " gauß me to read, the purport of it expressed very WOW " terms of friendship to Mr. Glenie, desiring Mr. G. to " call on me and set NY mind at ease, suit* the fullest do; " suranca that I might depend on haviag the bill fur bIXII.

'' Let Mr. Francis Wright, this approved Cliadt, for whom the Attorney-General "should ever ea. tertain the highest respect," soy where, in this letter, he discovered'the warm terms of friend. ship to Mr. Glenie, the aoxiety to set his (Mr. Wright's, not Mrs. Clarke's) mind at ease, the fullest assurances of a bill for 5001. ur the men. p4ioss.a. the kizzesasgadusi Is it then by means vile as these, and by engines more vile than even these means themselves, that ' s THE PUBLIC RoneEns" hoped to love destroyed a man, at whose very name they tremble?
