Moue, were wounded in the secor..l which is rep need to hav2 been mere serious than the first, all of which the Treasury Journals admit the particulars are unknown. After such an admission, a candid mind would feel itself called upon to suspend its judgment, and to wait tot a full and satisfadory report of the case, before it pronounced its censure. Indeed we have been hitherto accuotomed to set the mo►t profligate Prints sacriiiciag something to charaiter, and professing a respell for that truth which they were daily violating. It was reserved for, the Treasury Prints of the present day, to disown all such scru ples as contemptible. They praAise no hypo crisy, nor study any disguise. lt, by the bold ness of their assertions, and their eruire cl,votion to the purposes of their party, they can recom mend themselves to their employers. they care not how much truth is violated, and the public shocked by their ullostado.l el trnsur and unmarked attacks upon the late Ministers, whose talents they envy. Whose power they fear. and whose character they daily labour en defame. Their senaures upon the Expedition against Rosetta, furnish a striking illas t 'rims of these observations. Wiser' they had only learned thefaft of the failure, and bcto•e even vague rumours announced the that has found its way into convorration upor. the su:sjeft, the Treasury Prints attlually promised vs work Otm:lvn into a passion, and to pour all the phials of their wrath :end indignation upon the late Mink:try. as the sole cause of the failure.— To those, however. who consult their own judg ment, and do not gave up their principles, thtur conscience, and their peace, to these polluted organs of faltehood, prejiidice, and purty, we submit the following observations:— In the Crat place, the fasts are quite unknown, a,d therefor- no opinion can be formed as to the 1. ease In the hthineis, and how much of it belongs to Cse Commandos s. liy, ding to the account givers by the Tie.yury Papers. the Commanders were to Litami almost tobtirely. they having, according to that account, which is the only nue published, r,s co lord Usti; Tug 21U1101 Paws, yesterday, lailei,iat: an ambush. by entering into Rosetta, totally igno rant of its formidable situation. Thirdly, we do not know that the attack on Ro setta was authorised by the instructions, or rendered necessary by circumstances. It is said, indeed, that Alexandria was short of provisions, and that General WACCNOPZ was sent to Rosetta for a sup ply ; but that is mere conjeture; and that a force of 3000 men, the whole of General FRASIR'S army, should have so sosn created a famine, is too tidi cuLess. Oh ! but then exclaim these brawlers. the expedition was wrong, e 6 indi It was perfidious, on our part, to send an army to Egri2t, for the purpose of wresting that province from a Power with whom we were at peace. Now to this charge of bad faith, we answer. that the troops went to Egypt, not by orders from this coun try ; but in consequence of conditional orders given to Sir Jour DUCIIWORTM j and that, whe ther that officer obeyed the spirit of those orders, and exercised a sound dtscretion upon them, remains yet to be ascertained. Having stated these tats, we do not hesitate to assert, thattheabuse laviihedo.s the Ex-Ministers is in defiance oftandoir, justice, and propriety. But all this virulence and clamour may be easily accounted for. The New Parliament will meet on Monday se'onight, and the same means that generated the new Ministers, are necessary to their existence. The letters by the Mails recently arrived from Malta and Gibraltar were delivered yesterday.— They state, that every thing was quiet at the former place in the beginning of May. About 30 of the mutineers of Faosean•s regiment had been exe cuted, and the greater part of the remainder bad been sent to Sicily, from whence two British regi. ments were daily ezpeSed to arrive at Malta. The Windsor Cattle had got her main-mast shift. ed, end was expededsooa to sail for Sicily. The troop in Wallin St Gibraltar were in good ;health when our pccesaks 'rut away.

The same person was a Member of the Finance Committee in the last Parliament, and attended its meetings till he was compelled to va cate his sea., by accepting a place horn the present Government. It is extraordinary, that during the whole of Mr. &resets Bootee's attendance at the Finance Committee, he never once mentioned to any of its Members, the job which be had done for Sir H. Mit ost a sr, though the disclosure of it might have saved a considerable sum annually to the public. But, indeed, Mr. S. Bovasts.'s nature will not bear the rude shock of inquiries into a friend's conduB. He allowed the Committee to pursue by themselves their investigation of Mr. ST Eitel affair.

Our Readers will recollea, that we some time ago extraaed from the French Papers, a letter from Genoa, dated May I. stating, that the Seaiforse fri- Tate had been captured by a sqltadron of ships from oulon. We are now happy to have it in our power to stare. positively, that that account is not true : letters have been received by Lord Coacatio wooo, from Capt. STSWART, who commands the soins, frigate, dated the 9th of May ; at that time Capt. ST LWA T was cruising t:ff Toulon. Among the various fabric.ations fs.r the purpose of lessening the eclat of Lord MILTON'S triumph in Yorkshire. is a report stating that a Petition is to be presented against his Lordship's return, by a number of the Freeholders of Yorkshire, un the ground that a numb-r of unqualified persons were admitted to vote for his Lordsaip. The Wilts Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, coma mar.ded by Lord Baucs, completed the ten days duty for which they had assembled at Marlhinniigh and Devizes, on Wednesday last, when the several ttorma returned to their respeitive homes.

ATADAME CATALANI'S GRIND CONCERT. This Lady's Concert, at Argylastreet Rooms, last night, was minded by all the Fashion of town.
