We this day resume our recount of the late mi litary operations in India, extracted from the Ban tu), payers to the 16th April, winch ue received, last week, LicLusitramr. We have received Ilaniburgh papers to the 7th ins`. A report was current in that city, nu the Isrli last, that peace had brew signed between France and Amalie on the 2ith. A similar report prevailed at Ileli4olund on the loth; but it is pre st•ned to have been 'immature, as the courereuces did not commence at Altenburg until the 17th. A draught of 300 ram of the 3d R4,iment of Guards, commanded hi Colonel Sir W.

An order from the Admiralty reached Ports mouth en Pridav, for the whole of the copper bottomed transports, assembled et Spitheml, to proceed to Lisbon, with the Ajste man of war, which takes convoy to the Mediterranean. As troops also are ander onlers for Portugal, the re. port that these transports are going out with a view to the immediate evaeution of that country by our army, appear* to be without foundation.

The partial change of MLuid ry, with a view to appease the public 41,14;104'10o excited by 'Merit events, is geuvr.illy uuderatouti tv have bees the subject of delibeintion. Among the meditated chum's, r e port now includes Lord hlutmanve, and his !W. cretery the Bon. WiLLIISLRY Pot.e. The latter, auhka Sr Ev•st NEIMAN, or Mr. M altSahlt. is a atm% party man, m 4 it is therefore summated Inuit be chaaged alone with his principal to the office. Mr. Pout appears to expect this fate, as the u a . provernents making in his house, at the Athoir a lt 3 , for his private convenience, hare beer within them. few days suspesded. They are, as might be pre. iiumeti from his connection, in a style of ori sistd i magnificence, and will probably cost the country not less than 10 or 11,0001.—That a partial change of Ministry will take place imusedwtely is utaA contain, but its precise extent is not yet kaossa. Some characters of notoriety in the political. world, having been much iii the habit of pottin g the lake, and present, Administrations, upon a level. it may slot be a useless speculation to inquire into thu truth of the parallel. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Mr. WARDLE. and Mr. Cosatvv, have mad, it the chief object of their harangues. and writin g ., to withdraw the public coptidence from each of the two great parties now its Parliament. They h ave repeatedly assured the people, that, ss no advastage is to be expected from a change of Ministry." As we lippen, however. to be of the uoniberof those who look forwanl to a change wish hope, we beg leave to submit the grounds spots which we, and many people of sober patriotism, conceive that such hopes are not ill-fouuded. Both parties have been in power, both parties have et forded specimen of their mode of governing; so that the question of preference may be decided by an appeal to facts; and it is astonishing how any person, arguing upon facts so notorious as the acts of an Admiuistration, and so canitrasted as those of the two Administra tions, now placed in competition, should come to a ilifik rent conclosion.—But it is often the ore, ;bit reason itself becomes tasted into the corps of par•y. and resists the approach of every convictioti. but such as wears the uniform tf the detachment. To say as those gentlemen, and their followers gay. that two parties which have been perpetually at variance, that two parties whose pnaciples, proles. sloes, and conduct. have been always wpposiw, should still an far balance the good and evil of their actions, as to be precisely similar in their results to the community, is an assertion to which the epi thet, editor& not improperly applies. But it is not to the at,snrdity of the assertion that we cement our objections; people have a right to be as abst.ril as they please, if they hurt nobody by it; hut when the absurdity is of a noxious and malismint nature, when it net only makes fools of those who adopt, bat victims of those who come within its reach; when it. is nut only disgraceful to the indi vidual, bat injurious to society at. large, the right of the individual is at an end, ant/ the duty de. volves upon every member of the State to oppose and resist, to this utmost, this combination of iii. becility and mischief. Now the absurdity of say ing, that there is no choice between two parties who panne a better and a worse set of principles. is certainly of this ilmcription.—Persuede the people once that all public men are alike, and they will be as well sati.fied with the worst, as with the big; they will look upon the Duke of PORTLE%D. and Mr. PERCIVAL. as favourably as upon Earl Gantt and Lord Caenvatte ;they will sink into a mean resignation, or rather listlessness, under any kind of rulers; they will sub.nit to the narrow, the sels tish. anal the incompetent ; instead of selecting the nigh-minded, the geueruus, and the able : and all this because they have been taught the bad lesson of suspecting every person, and refusing to pay that respect to their species to which it is iiititled. But that we may see there is so:se distinction between those parties which the levellers, and the i r followers, would confound. let us look. in the first Aire, to the circumstances of the resignation of foriuer and or the tippoiatint.nt of the present men to office. This is the point in which they most iiiiinediately and directly class ; it af fords us an opportunity of comparing, not their sentiments, but their tended, arm the same co- onion; it presents us with a proposition refuted by the one, and adapted by the other; so that if we can only come to an opinion upon the proposition itself, we can no longer hesitate as to the compare tire desert* of those who hare respectively em braced and sogrned it. The proposition is well l i nown; it required that Hie MAJWATT . II Ministers should sign an instrument, pledging themselves against recommending the measure of Catholic Emencipation, under any circumstances. This proposition the then Ministry rejected, they saw how incompatible sech a pledge was with the • dignity which a British Ministry should possess, and how inconsistent it was with reason, that they • • should bind themselves not to advise a measure, the adoption of which not only might, but was likely to he the condition of England's indepeo rknce.—Upon this they resigned. If we approve of AM, resigaeficia, wider such circumstances, it is impossible, by any logic, or subtilty. or so phisty, to approve of the conduct of those who accepted office upon such terms ; so that • the applanse which follows them, in this hi- moue, ii is opisht of distinction*, mid qualifications, a erasure open their wscoesssor Does this constitute uo difference ? Cno we say, that it dors not signify which party is its power. ..:ern do ii•pcto logo. de2 .jbitP, lair tryse e But I w!ivh r;:pi +try bate!ol blitti.ts with wio j ped;tbn trealllltrt sttr,Ce.
