',-"tem. the LONDON GAZETTE, jar. :,•zBoz. .uoluntytt.atreet, Jan. 2, 1802. A dispatch from the Resident of the Honourable 'east Incita Company at Amboyna, dated 6th July, !Sot, of which the following is an extraa, has bcml received by the Court of Direftors of the Ea'* India Company, and communicated to the Rig; t 1 onoura1)1, Lord Hobart, one of His Ma. idity's Ptincipal Secretaries of State. I do myself the honour to congratulate your l o prciship, in Council, on the important event of the surrender of Ternate to the British Arms, which was delivered over, by capitulation, to Co. lonel Burr on the zzst ultimo. The Dutch Governor made a most resolute re sistance, having defended the place with uncommon firmness for fifty-two days, though, I am sorry to add, at the expence of the poor inhabitants, who perished, by famine; from ten to twenty a day, from our strong blockade by sea and land. During this excellent disposition of cur Military and Marine Forces, the latter under the command of that 'gallant Officer captain 1-lages, the annual supplies for the Enemy were intercepted' through his vigilance, which certainly contributed, in a high degree, to the ultimate success of the einciprise. The value of the captured prOperty taken by the squadron amounts to a lack and fifty, thousand dol . jars. The difficulties the Honourable Company's forces by sea and land _bad to encounter on this ardttous service, and the spirit and intrepidity which they manifested during a siege of nearly two months, do them infinite credit, and have seldom or ever been exceeded in this part of the globe - . The ac counts we have received of the strength of Fort Orange, and its numerous detached Batteries, proved exceedingly erroneous, in so much that Colonel Burr declares the place to be extremely strong by nature, and most excellently improved by art, with a powerful Garrison, and so well provided with arms and ammunition, as to throw difficulties in the way of our force s . which were as distressing as unex peeled ; they, however, persevered and kept their ground . with so _much bravery and resolution as to compel the Enemv,to surrender their different strong holds, one after die other, until the principal Fort and Town were so completely blockatkd both by sea and land, and so reduced by famine,,as to make them sue for conditions, which, I understand, are very satisflElory. • I am happy to inform your Lordship, in Coun_ cil, that, trduous as this service was, and much as our Forces were exposed to the repeated attacks of the Er.einy, the li*s of killed and wounded of the Troops does nut amount to above nine or ten ; that of the Marine does not exceed twelve Seamen.

THE SUN. SOLIM QUI& DJCZAE• VALStied AtroSAT LONDON, JANUARY 4, tBO2, WE received this morning the Paris Papers of the 28th ult. which are nor more interesting than those we have received for some time past, They are chiefly filled with speculations from the German Papers, on the subjed of Indemnities. --The Chief Consul has not, it appears, yet set out on his Jour. ney for Lycl , s, though he is confidently expeeted in that City, and great preparations are making there for his reception. The damage 'Which has been sustained in the South of France, and in Italy, appears to be even greater than the former accounts led us to appre hend. The resignations of several Bishops and Archbishops of the higliast rank, have been given in. The French Funds are at 53 fr. go cents, . THE circumstances under which the New Year opens, present a variety of refie&ions, both of a retrospeelive and prospeEtiye nature, which cannot fail to prove highly interesting and gratifying to the understandings and feelings of every English.. man. Our R ea d ers w i ll perhaps not think it pertinent or obtrusive in us, at SO . peculiar a crisis, to hazard some of those with which we are most strongly impressed, arising oukof recent occurrences and events, which have marked the preceding year) as offering, at different periods, more to create Alarm, Anxiety, Comfort, rid and Confidence, than has ev er b een crowded into a similar space of time-in the annals of Great Britain.. A. War of-nearly nine years, bloody, expensive, precedent, 4ccomptnied by and exte ns i ve . without internal convulsions.whiCh threatened the existence of the Country, had'afforded, abundant opportunities for the exhibition of wisdom and vigour in , the Government, of the energy of. ParliaMent, and of stubborn fortitude ,and unconquerable spirit in the People. At home, where all depended oß,ourselves, the resolution and firrmess whiCh charafterized all our measures, and which manifested themselves in the sound part of the Community with a common sympathy, completely triumphed But e n the events of the War, than which none was pe . z h a p s e ver signalized by such striking vicissitudes, external causes unfortunately operated, which no human foresight could have 'anticipated, and n o human prudence, we believe, have prevented. At th e commencement . 9f the last y ear , G reat Britain found herself not only abandoned by every Ally, not only with a majority of those Allies in hostility against her, but a fresh and formidable Confederacy, con. sisting of, Four great European ?ewers, formed with the avowed objea of destroying her IVlaritirne , Rights, and. thus of aiming a vital blew at our only means of future SOurity and Independence. Under this tremendous combination of accumu lated difficulties, a change in the'Administration took place. Little else seemed-wanting to com „ plete our ruia—the stoutest heart s were appalled ; but a firm, virtuous, and discerning Monarch, found corresponding qualities in a brave, loyal, and a discriminating Peqle. All were ready to support him in a just cause ; and he had the good fortune to find some whose talents qualified them for, and whose courage disposed the* to accept, responsible situations. Unfettered by any considerations of per sonal risque—undismayed bY the difficulties and dangers which they had to facetin all directions, they resolutely embarked,' relying on the favour of , an indulgent and gracious King, and on the candour, the good sense, and the spirit of the People,. What has been the result ?—Where are the storms which lowered upon us from every point of the compass I Nine months 4go we had an Enemy in almost every Power of Europe.—W e have not one Enemy left. To that hostile and angry spirit which frowned Lyon us from every quarter, dispo_ sitions the most friendly have happily succeeded. How, has this wonderful change been drought about I—Not by any sacrifice of our Honour, or by anrcompromise of our Security, which we defy the Cavillers at the Peace to prove, but by the steady operation of united firmness and moderation, of moderation, not the child of Fear, but the indi / cation of a conciliatory spirit, without which, un der certain circumstances, Courage is little better than Folly in a private man, and P , vseverance little better than Obstinacy in a public one. One , word on the proceedings of the present ' Session of Parliarnent.—Such Unanimity, aftet the accomplishment of so great an event, we believe to be unprecedented. Nor has this been confined to the mere discussion of the Preliminaries, but has manifested itself on every single question that has come under discussion during the course of it.—Nor need it be wondered at.—A complete and perfea knowledge of the subjed under consideration, has marked the language and conduet of the Minister on every individual occasion whether on the East India question, or the opening' of the Distilleries, or' in his measure "respeding the Exdhequer Bills.— This great financial measure, on which we believe but one opinion prevails, has established his repu tation in that difficult branch of public business, in , which his great predecessor was so eminently ells tinguished.—Nor can we too warmly congratulate him and the Public on the brilliant talents anti con genial turn of mind which have marked the public condua of his excellent coadjutor Lord HAwx.ESBU RY. In looking fonVard then, what have we not to hope ?—While the War continued, the Country has happily already had abundant proofs of the prompt. ness, the energy and decision of the present Mi nisters. —Should the possible recurrence of it pe t- set4 itself to the most apprehensive and anxious mind, in the most distant prospedtive, to that mind no uneasiness can, ,on th4t score, possibly. occur.- 7 Should a Definitive Treaty, of which we have no doubt, shortly crown the labours of the Cabinet, the confidence and applause of a grateful People, and a comparative state of repose from incessant toil and anxiety, will be their seward, 4. , Quatis spelunca subli4 commN Columba, Cui domus ct d*cs latebroso in purnice iricli t Fertur in arva volans, plausumq. exterrita Dennis pat tetlo ingentern ; mox aere 19.sa quiet() Radit iter liqttidum, Welts nequ'e cc n Movet alas."

No opposition to this measure is expe6ed ; but •we apprehend that rough spirit of the, HUngarians will not be so-easil conciliated into a tame acquiescence With the wishes of the Cabinet of Austria, although the proposal, be 'in itself unexceptionable. Prejudices' and habits which have for half a century taken deep root in their minds, must require time alone to re_ ,move ; and as this People liave ever been remarked Cor their stubborn attachment. to Iheieloaal customs, hoWever abiurd; it is not 'to be expeEted that they will hastily relinquish' therii . Without 'obtaining such equivalents as have for several years past been the objeft of their ambition, 'and often of their insur , reaional Movements. ' • 'We learn, by an article froth_ Petersturgh, that the Emperor ALEXANDER has abolished the pra6tice of putting criminals to the rack, in order to extort confession from them. This Wise Edia was originally suggested to.the Empress EL i'Z ABETII by the celebrated BECaARIA, who, in a strain of satire'that has never been surpassed, fully developed the folly and inefficacy of this mode of investigating the fa'd. 'it 'is • never too late to perform a wise aft; and, we think, the Sovereign of Russia has nobly commenced his Administratio n , by adopting coun sels which , 44s . predecessors had improvidently reject ed, and by making an offering at the shrine of Justice and humanity, which not only gives earnest ofa reign of Moderation, but ensures the uninterrupted . progress of civilization in those frozen regions, which have hitherto been contemplated merely as the nurseries of Warriors, and, the Destroyers of Mankind, Before we quit this subjed, we feel it our duty to'obServe, with pride, and in honour of our Country, that Great Britain wag the first in the civilized world which set the generous example of abolishi ng a pradice, alik e o di ous to humanity, and hostile to the genuine spirit of impartial law.
