E this - morning received Paris journals of the Bth and 9th instant, which do not contain much that is interesting: The Moniteur cif the Bth has a long article upon the freedom with which the tnamaaions in France are discussed in the Public Papers of this Country. JealoUs as we ever shall be of the preservation of this invaluable privilege of Britons, we certainly cannot approVe of all the vio lence of language, which has •been lavished in this Country upon some recent .proceedings inTrance; and we should admit that the complaints triade by the Writer of the article in the Moniteier were in_ -founded, had he not chosen some measure '-we; to intermix his observations with charges equally atrocious and false. Echoing the sentiments an'ti assertion,s of the Jacobins of this Country, be asserts, that our . late Ministers were ,instrumental in,producing, by an influence which they exercised in France, the Massacres of September, and the Misfortunes , that sm+ertook Lyons, and sortie others of their principal Towns. Such a charge, it is our peculiar duty ,to repel. wiLIL all the dignation which it deserves . ; and we- cannot at the same time Liti express our surprize, that it should have appeared in the place whereit did, in some Measure sanaioned, the Government of France. W e perfeCtly agree with the Writer in the Moni tear that the language of concilia"tion is most becoming to both Nations, and it has been our study to use it upon every occasion on which we Kaye found it necessary to make mention o f the French Government. The blessings of Peace can _Oily be preserved by a mutual spirit - of conciliation and sincerity, That spirit, we are concerned to observe, does not regulate the con, duet of the ,Writer in the Ilioniteur—He brings charges • not only against the former, but the prelent, G,vernment of this Country, which we are certain neither of them deserve. The Government of t Oreat Britdin, we are sati , ficd, would at all times repr , ..bate assassination and out rage ; and we cannot for a moment believe, that the circumstances stated respeailig jersey . , and the Emigrants here, can the smailf!st foundation in fol. The Observations in the amiteur, set out upon a principle totally groundless, viz, that the Paper al. haled to is under Ministerial and conse quentiy, that Ministers approve .of every thing that that Paper cl►uses to advance. Nothing can be more absurd-,--Under this presumption, Ministers must approve all the Libels which that Paper has thought proper to heap upon their Predecessors, and which it still almost daily,vents against the greatest Man that this or any ocher Country or Age has ever produced—the transcendent powers of whose mind , are only to be equalled by the unparalleled disin ter:Aciness and refined honour of his conduct. Tests morning a liambuqh Mai/ arrived ; the Luelligence by which ;611 be found under the pro per Head. The CHANCELLnR of the EXCHEQUER and his Famq have been for some time at Eastbourne. Mr. and Mrs. G. H. ROSE are going on a Tour to the Continent. They propose being absent about three months. II;s MA J ESTY has been pleased to appoint the Earl 0; DoNot: GHMORP, the Right Hon.

The Judges, tcgether With the High Sheriff of S.Affolk, and his ...Aidplain, dined with IVhrquis Cot:SWALLis, at.Culford, on Sunday, and the same ev--ing set off lor Thaford, on their route for Nor.. with. A Duel was fought lately at Elsineur, between two Swedish Officers, Count WRANQEL, and Count BECKFRYS, in which the former was mortally wounded, and immediately conveyed to the Military Hospital at Elsineur. Ills adversary returned to S;Neden. It is asserted that 'PASSIVAN OGLOU was for merly a Prussian Officer; and was Cashiered for having embezzled Money destined to pay the Troops, in consequenceof which he took refuge amongst the Turks, and emb►aced their Religion. His daughter is, it is said, at present at Stettin, and the wire of M. de ScHuTz, a Privy Councillor ; it is also said, that she LIR iy received a letter from him, accom. 6D',";O Crowns, with ;in i ta- tion to j.•ii-; It is added, that PAIMANT has • lA' , Hien to tilc• K tre of I ) tT.tsS;A i • requesting a Pass- Ørt :or his • .Pill</S, Atm. 9. Mr Times, which is said to be under ministerial inspeaion, is filled with perpetual inveaives against France. Two of its four pages are every day em ployed in giving currency to the grossest calumnies. All that imagination can depia, that is low, vile, and base, is by that miserable Paper attributed to the French Government. What is its end ? Who pays it ? What does it wish to effect ? A French Journal, Edited by some miserable Emigrants, the remnant of the most impure, a vile refuse, without Country, without Honour, sullied with Crimes which it, is not in the power Of ; any Amnesty to wash away, outdoes even the Times. Eleven Bishops, presided over by the atrocious Bishop of ARRAS, Rebels to their Country and to the Church, have assembled in London. They print L:ljels against the Bishops and the French Clergy ; they injure the Government and the Pope, who have re-established the Peace of the gospel amongst 4.0 Millions of Christians. The Isle of jersey is full of Brigands, condemned to death by the Tribunals for crimes committed sub sequent to the?cace ; for Assassinations, Robberies, and the praaices Of an Incendiary. The Treaty of Amiens stipulates, that persons accused of crimes, of Murder, for instance, shall be respeaively delivered up. The Assassins who are at jersey' are, 'on the contrary, received. They depart from thence unmolested, in fishing-boats, disembark on our Coasts, assassinate the richest Pro prietors, and burn the stacks of corn and the barns. , • GtoRCEs wears 'Openly at London • his Red Ribband, as a recompense for the infernal Machine which destroyed a part of Paris, and killed thirty women and children, or peaceable Citizens, This special proteetion authorizes a belief, that if he had succeeded he would have been honoured 'lshii the Order of the Garter L' • • • Let us make sorne iefleCtions on this strange con:. dud of our Neighbours. When two great Nations make Peace, is it for the purpose of reciprocally exciting troubles, or to en , gage and pay for crimes ? Is it for the purpose of giving money and prote6tion to all men who wish to trouble the State ? And as to. the Liberty of the Press, is a Country to be at liberty to speak of a Nation, friendly, and newly reconciled, in a manner which they durst not speak of a Government against whom they were prosecuting a deadiy War ? Is not one Nation responsible to another Nation for all the aas and all the conduCl of its Citizens ? Do not . Aets of Parliament even prohibit Allied Governments, or their Ambassadors, to be insulted ? It is said that RICHELIEU ; under Louis XIII. assi.ired the Revolution in England, and contributed to bring CHARLES the First to the Scaffold„ M. de CHOISEUL; and after him, the M.. - isiers of Louis XVI. doubtless excited the .I%urreaiun in America. The late English Ministry have had their revenge : they excited the Massacres of September, and influenced their movements, by means of which Louis XVI, perished on the scaffold, and by means of which our principal Manufaduring Cities, such as Lyons, were destroyed. Is it still wished that this series of movements and influence, which has been produtive of such calamitous consequences to , both States, for so many ages, should be prolonged ? Would it not be more reasonable; and more•conformable to the results of experience, to mike use of the reci procal influence of proper commercial relations, as the means of proteaing Commerce, of preventing the fabrication of faise money, and opposing a re fuge to criminals ? Besides .? 'what result can the English Govern_ ment exile 1, from fomenting the troubles of the Church from receiving anti vomiting back upon our Territory the Brigands of the Cotes.du-Nord and Morbihav, covered with the blood of the best and richest Proprietors of those unfortunate Depart'. meats, from spreading by every means, instead of severely repressing, all the calumnies ciredated by English Writers, or by the French Press at London. Do they not know that the French Government is now more solidly established than the English Go vernment ? And do they think that reciprocity will be difficult for the French Government ? What would be the effect of such an exchange of njuries, of the influence of insurreaional Com- mit tees, of the proteetion and encouragement grant- ed to AssaSsins ? V/hat would be gained to Civi_ lization, to the Commerce and the happiness of both Nations ? Either the English Government authorizes and tolerates those Public and Private Crimes, in which case it cannot be said tat such conduct is con.. sistent with British Generosity, Civilization, and Honour ; or it cannot prevent them, in which €ase it does nor deserve the name of a Government ; above al, if it does not, possess the means of re pressing assassination and calumny, and pro;eksil4 ;oc;a1 order ?---/liml/4.pr. Letters from Cadiz state, that a Convoy of Nea. politan Vessels had brought into that Port a part of the French Troops which were in the Kingdom of Naples. Some say that they are destined for an Expedition in the Mediterranean ; others, that they are to be sent to the West Indies. VIENNA, JULY 24.—1 t is asserted, that the interview at Memel has not been so satisfadory to the KING of PRUSSIA as appearances might have in duced one to believe. The Plan of Indemnities which that Prince presented to the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, was not agreed to by the latter, who cannot ;ee with indifference, Prussia obtain a compensation which more than doubles her loss, and he insists on a mo dification of the Plan. It is said, on the other side, that England opposes so considerable an increase of power on the part of Prussia, which would place the other States in the North of Germany in his power. It is only after the continued refusal of the EM PEROR of RUSSIA to subscribe to the arrangement of the 4th of June, that France has adopted that line of conduet which ought to have been pursued a long tithe. since ; that is, to charge the Deputation of the Empire already appointed, with the Defi nitive arrangement of the Indemnities. PETERSBURGH, JULY 13.—According to a new arrangement which has taken place between the KING of PRUSSIA and the EMPEROR of RUSSIA, the latter is to furnish annually to the 'Pretender the sum of 75,c00 roubles. THE ARTS.---NORTHCOTE has been painting a Portrait of Mr. ABBOT, sitting in the Chair, as Speaker of the House of Commons. The Likeness is exact, and,the- work is a fine spirited Portrait.-- The Artist has represented-his subjel as if listening with attention to a Debate. There was some dit. ficulty in giving such an expression, in a single Figure, without hazarding the appearance ofaffedation, but the Painter has surmounted it very sucessfully.... This Pidure is to be placed in the University of Oxford, among the Portraits of these who have been'Sdircated i°r that Institution, and who have dktinguished theinselves in the world, by talents, learning, and public services. The same 'Artist has just finished a fine Portrait of Dr. FoRD, the Uncle of that adive and julicious Magistrate, Sir RICHARD Fo.RD.--The Head is admirably coloured, and the PiCture is a fine Por trait of venerable Age. NORTHCOTE has also produced an excellent For. trait ,of RALPH LEICESTER, Esq. of Cheshire, a near relation of Sir Jou& LEICESTER, so well known for' his taste and patronage of the Arts. Another work which is receiving the finishing touches from this Artist, is a PortrAt of Dr. Jr/4- whoe name is deservedly held in very high repute in the medical world, for a discovery oflhe utny)st imp,rtance to mankind. This Portrait, in fidelity of resemblance, and general spirit, is worthy of the Artist and .his Subject. The new plan which a number of Artists are tin. derstood to he preparing, is nor, we find, intended as a Rivalship to the Royal Academy, but merely a depot for works which the Artists concerned in it wish to dispose of. Still, we conceive, that the Royal Academicians themselves cannot, consistent. ly, engage in this plan, though it may be proper enough for Artists who have not obtained a tooting in the Academy. An Artist belonging to the Scenic Department of Covent-Garden Theatre, lately went to Kent, for the purpose of taking Views of distinguished parts of that County', in:ended for a Dramatic Spe&icle, which is to be brought forward early in the ensuing Season. He- was tempted to extend his Views by a trip to France, where being observed in the exercis of his Pencil, he was taken into cus tody;.:. and corrimi!tcd to prison. He soon, how,. ever, .convinced " , the French Government, that he did not intend to copy the Fortifications of ART, but the. Beauties of NATURE, and was therefore this charged ; but had no inclination to resume his 14- hours, being perfealy satisfied in an opportunity of taking himself off ! Mr. M4tNwARIN9 has been commended by a Resolution at the meeting of his Friends, for not conde'xending to answer the infamous Calumnies that have been circulated against him during the whole of the contest for Middlesex.—ln this seiLi." went all mankind must agree, and honour him for a forbearance that very few would have had temper enough to pradice. More venomous and more outrageous Falsehoods were certainly never issued against any man ; but they can relied only on their Authors. Sir FRANC ;S BURDETT may exult on his temporary triumph, but there is no liberal and gentlemanly charader in the Empire that does not look on the conduit of his Abettors and Supporters with indignation and horror. _ _ Mr. Fox will be unable to find even a Vestige of the Glorious Monument of Human Wisdom, ti first Constitution of France, which he affe4ed toadinire so much. The Clerkship of the Pells in Ireland was given to Mr. Fox while he was under age, and one of his first aas, when lie came of age, was to Sell it. Mr. CATO R has long been distinguished by the title of the Lord of Beckingharit, but the decision of two late trials will probably abate his dliposition to Lord it at that place. It is hardly to be believed, that though, in the Rrs t of those trials, in which Mr. CATok was the Defendant, and was 'fined by the Court, the bells . of the town were rung in token of triumph. It was remarked, by some Parisian Wit, that taking the commencement of each of the names of the three Ministers, who have direded the Police in France, since the sth of Qdober last, namely, Corhon de Lap/went; Sotia, and .I , 'opchl, they would stood thus, Cachou, (a Hogg) ; .3;26 (a Fool) ; and Fore, (a Niacin - 1m ), This discovery has given much offence to M. Foucly, who is encleavoutins to discpvet the Auliora THE HAMBURGH MAIL. VIENNA, JULY 24. WE are again greatly alarmed for the life of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES. In tne night between the 21st and zed instant, His Royal Highness had an other severe attack of his disorder; and the accounts of his health to-day are still very distressing. Last night was a very unquiet one, and there was scarcely any intermission to the epileptic firs. The Physi cians are continually with the Archduke. The Prussian Envoy, Count KEL LER, has sent a Courier from Berlin, with the official account niche Treaty of Cession and Indcmilficati'm concluded at Paris between Prussia and France on the 23d of May, and ratified on the zd of July, to notify the same to our Court. / The Diet at Presburg proceeds so slowly in the business which is the objeft of its discussions, that it is expeded to continue sitting till November. A Company is forming here, to carry on a trade in Hungarian wines with London. A capital of Soo,ooo florins has been already subscribed. The ARCHDUKE FERDINAND has set out on a journey to Bohemia, and has arrived at Prague. It is said that an Army of Observation will be assem bled on the frontiers of Bohemia. The price of corn in Italy is daily falling ; the harvest there being very abundant. The Governor of the Tyrol, Count BISSINGEN, is arrived here, and is appointed Governor of Ve- nice. The ,QIStEN of NAPLES Sets out from this City, on her return to Naples, on the 28th inst. The new Hospodar of Wallachia had, when the last Accounts were received, already reached t he Frontier Town of Fockzav, well known for 66, Congress held there by the Turks and Russians nd on the 13th of July was to make his entry inct Bucharest, after the retreat of the Troops of PASI.• WAN OGLOV.
