" GENERAL DIGEOW TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE STEIt or WAR. " The fortress of Tarifa was taken by storm on the 19th, at live o'clock in the afternoon, by the French and Spanish troops. The rebels, who retreated into the island, were at-, tacked the next morning at day-break by the landing of French troops, of the 34th regiment of the line.

( From the Journal des Wargo, Friday.) MADRID, Auer 16.--The most alarmingipportg are still in circulation as to the aflitirs of Andalusia; the Government, • in feet, does not act so as to calm the public mind. In stead of publishing Extraordinary Gatettes, making known the truth, it obstinately preserves silence; and this silence, in the • opinion of many persons, says more than is generally thought. A Vlelent tire broke out to-day in a church of Madrid, and in a ' short time made an alarming program. The 28th regiment arrived orethe spot, arid took immediately the necessary measures; ' het the engines were badly managed, as well as in a bad state, aid it was impeesilde to extinguish the fire; the church, there fare, was completely consumed, and the fire has communicated to some neighbouring houses. There is no knowing how this tire will be extinguisted ; the military officers and the General ▪ in Chief have repaired to the spot; the whole of the French ' troops are under arms; the artillery have harnessed their horses, ' and the guns are all at the Prado. These precautions fortu netele lieve been usitlesa, and we have not heard that any dis order hes occurred. (Prone the Constltutionnel. ) l'ineuret nt Ito /4AX A, JULY 9..—(The following letter is an terior to the recapture of loan, already announced ; but it con. tains details of the greatest interest, not vet known, of the first . sfiii:4—During the last four days we have seen several Ipsa • riot vessels enter our harbour. Those which arrived last have brought circumstantial details of what has passed in the island • since the landing of the Turks, and they agree perfectly with the information received by the Government,. On the night of the 2d-3,1, the Captain Pacha landed about 20,000 men towards • the north pert of the island ; they marched in three columns, and were not long in tea ch i ng the town, which is situated to the south. However Pest was the inequality of force, the (creeks, though cowardly betrayed by their fellow Christians, were not dime - imaged ; at the first word every Ipsarint was at his post, mind all resolved, if they could not repulse the enemy, to sell their lives as dearly as possible. The combat coalmen. ced at atveral points of the city, and lasted all the 3d. The Turk* were several times repulsed, and always returned to the dirge with fresh troope. Several women of the island took parrin the combat, and perished with a courage superior to their sex. No advantage was gained by either party during the tiny, and night put a stop to the carnage. • On the morning of the 4th, the combat was renewed with day-light. The Turks, re. foforced.by the crews of their large ships Just landed, advanced to the attack with redoubled fury. Several Greeks, seeing themselves so closely pressed, put their wives and children to death, to seve them from slavery, and then rushing on the foe, perished with arms in their hands. After making themselves masters of the town, the Turks directed their exertions against the chief battery, called Tabu, he well-directed fire of which had committed terrible ravages in their ranks. The battery was defended by the regiment of the seven hundred 1 , ma c e/woes, the bravest part of the garrison, commanded by Captain Meats. This new combat was still more terrible ; three times the 'Turks made themselvtre masters of part of the Taiga, and were three times repulsed. More than once cut to pieces by the fire of the battery, they took to flight, and endea. 'toured to gain the coast to reeambark, but the Captain Pacha teased the Turkish ships to fire on them, which obliged them to keep their position. Towards the close of the day the Greeks, aurrounded on all aides, and worn out with fatigue, get tire to the mines which had been iwe viously prepared, the Labia blew into the air, and buried in its ruins, with its re maining defenders, all the Turks who were ar ound it. The explosion was felt by vessel* six or seven !calques distant from the Island. The number of M i selmen killed by the explosion nod in the fight i s said to amount to 1500, and their whole loss ip the two days is estimated at 7000 men. Time Greeks lost the el tee most remarkable men of Ipsara Nicolas Jannaris, and mieuroyinnis. The r e ma i n d er o f the forty of Peleocaetron and the ' lp took refuge in St. John, 'flanked eariots by a rock which gtreerns the town. The number o f combatants in these two forts is 2,500 men, and they are 411, siell supplied w ith ammunition and provision.

The Egyptian squadron, after two unsuccessful attacks on Candia, directed its course to that island. The two first attacks were repulsed, but on the third the Turks succeeded in landing, and made themselves masters of the town. A Greek squadron, however, with rein• tbreements for Candle, appearing in the neighbourhood, landed a part of its troops and acted in concert with the inha bitants, who had taken refuge in the mountains. The Egyp tians, attacked both by sea and land, were cut to pieces after a short resistance, and not a single one escaped. A boat dispatched from Caso by the Navarque has brought this news. CONSTANTINOPLE JuLY 25.—The enigma of the Captain Dacha's return to Alitylene is explained by letters from Smyrna. The - united Greek squadron appeared off Ipsara un. expectedly, have taken sixty gun-boats and a brig, and have massacred every Turk on the island. A great number, it is said, have perished ; but on this point the reports do not agree, After this event, the Captain Pacha returned to Mitylene. and sent some frigates to Ipsara, which arrived too late, as the Greeks, it is said, had evacuated the island, which does not, however, appear probable. Court', JULY 81.—(Extract of a Private Letter.) --The Journal de Mistolongo ives the following news : The Greek fleet which left-Hy dra on the fish soon reached the waters of Ipsara. An engagement there took place between it and the Captain Paella's fleet. The combat was obstinate ; but the Greeks, by means of their fire.ships, succeeded in setting fire to 3 Turkish frigates, viz. those commanded byr the Capondan Pacha (Vice Admiral), tliePatrona.Bey ( Sub. Admiral), and the lleala Bey (Rear-Admiral), which were blown up. The Captain Pacha succeeded in saving his own ship, but she was much dama g ed. Several other Turkish vessels were either taken or burnt, the remainder of the Turkish fleet took refuge in AI itylene. After this decisive victory the Greeks landed at •Ipsa.a, where more than 2000 Ipsariots still retained possession of two forts. They favoured the landing of their countrymen, and five or six thou. sand Turks who were in the island, terrified by the defeat of their fleet, took to flight, were pursued, and all cut to pieces. (From the .Etoile, dated Settarday.l The news of the retaking of Ipsara and Casco is confirmed from all quarters; the Augsburg Gazette, of the 22d, contains four circumstantial letters on the subject ; one from Odessa of 3d August, has news from Constantinople of 28th July, fully confirming the return of the Ipsariots nub the Hydrints arid Spezziots ; they took BO armed vessels, and put BAB Turks to the sword. The destruction of the Egyptians at Casio is equally certain. English vessels have brought to Malta the news of the triumph of the Christians. (From the Courier Francais.) PARIS, Atm. 27.-111. Ouvrard, the great contractor for the army of Spain, has had his furniture seized by Al. Seguin, who has obtained a sentence against him for three million francs.— Judgment by default having taken place, his furniture is or dered to be sold at his house. He has appealed against this sentence, in order that his famituremay be sold in public ; and his reason is, that his being miserable furniture will sell more advantageously in the Place du Chatelet than at his residence. The tribunal, however, has confirmed its first sentence.

PETERSBURGII, AUGUST 11.—To-morrrow the Court comes to the capital, to stay a fortnight. On the 20th his Majesty the Emperor will set out upon his tour to the in terior of the Empire. His Majesty will be back by the 3d of November. Colonel Von Essen, his Majesty's Aid-de-Camp, set out yesterday for Berlin, where he is to remain in quality of Mi litary Resident, to which office he was appointed in the spring, but could not proceed to his destination on account of ill health. The 'Conseettateur Impartial of this day contains the follow. ing letter from Constaninople of 22d July (N.S.), without quot ing any authority for it : ' The Capitan 'Nebo has taken blare, And reduced it to a heap of rubbish ; 110 vessels, among which were 28 ships of war, 10 chiefs of the Ipitariots, and 600 other persons taken prisoners; above 100 cannon, 33 standards; 500 heads and 2,000 ears, were the trophies of this victory. The llfuhardar of the Capitan Bacha brought the first news to Constantinople. The Carman Pacha has returned to Alitylene, to land his wounded, and to repair four frigates, which cannot keep the sea. At the same time lie has sent a summons to the Isle of Santos. With respect to his future operations, he is to con. cert with the Egyptian Commander-in-Chief, Ibrahim Pacha. " The attack of Hydra is reserved for the Egyption Ad miral, Ismael Gibraltar. The Turks have plundered two vil lages at Illitylene, and massacred all the inhabitants. 'rite Greek Matriarch at Constantinople was deposed on the 29th ult. and is succeeded by the Archbishop of Xeres. The lifiratscA, or poll.tax, is raised from 10 to 24 piastres. Ilitut.trt, Ana. 21.—The Grand Duke Nicholas and his consort landed at Wamernander on the 19th. FRANKTORT, AUG. 18.—M. Marchand, who was get at liberty at Cassel on the 6th, had been six months and 18 days in solitary confinement which for the most part was very rigorous. Nothing has transpired respecting the reason of his arrest. It is said he will reside henceforward at Cassel, his native city, and entirely renounce politics. The German Diet will shortly,, have to discuss the laws to be adapted throughout all the States of the Confederation relative to the liberty of the press ; for the regulations restricting that liberty adopted by the Diet 20th (Sept. 1819, were to be in force fbr only five years. The Norwegian Diet being closed, the Crown P r i nce a nd Princess are gone to pass some time on an estate belonging to the Crown, a short distance from Christiania. Their Royal High.

PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 9. 8 . e present our readers with the following copious extract from a letter which vie have received from , our Correspondent (a naval offfcer), stationed in that interesting part of the world, Chili and Peru .1— " Aquilca (Coast of Peru), oth April, 1824. 44 The English Consuls (which we hear are near our coast) will arrive at a'very . awkward period ; at a period when the au thority of the Spanish despot, Ferdinand, has been declared and officially published throughoiit Peru ; when the important fortresses of Callao are in possession of the Spanish troops, and the city of Lima occupied by a considerable force. Tins revo lution in the affairs of the Peruvian Empire has occurred sud denly, and certainly very unexpectedly; and a revolution of popular feeling, too, has as suddenly and unexpectedly taken place. From my first acquaintance with these people, I always thought that Viva la Paula ! Viva la Republica!' expres sions uttered by them with so much apparent enthusiasm, would have no other effect than they have had—that of mere empty sounds : that if the independence of Peru were ever esta blished, Bolivar would be obliged to accomplish italmost single handed. His excellency was so soon well aware of this fact, tbat lie told them he placed so confidence either in their cpiarage ' or in their promises of attachment and support ; but still he did hope that his influence and exertions would rouse them from their stupid supineness ; instead of which they have been traitors to him and to their own righteous cause.—The Proclamation by Torre-Tagle, the president of the Republic, exhibits a specimen of treacherous villainy never surpassed. " I mentioned in a former letter, that Berindoaga, the Mi ulster of War, had left Lima for the head-quarters of the Royalist Army, on a special inisaion f r o m th e P er uvian Govern ment. The object of this special mission is now pretty clearly ascertained, for the arch traitor, Torre.Tagle, evidently alluded to it in his infamous prochtmation, wherein be asserts that he took advantage of the occasion to accomplish an union with the Spaniards. Ile denies having any thing to do with the surren. der of the Forts. of Callao; but a ma n sunk so deep in trea cherous duplicity, deserves eh) credit. " By the last accounts, Bolivar was at, or in the neighbour. hood of' Truxillo. What line of conduct his Excellency will pursue, 1 cannot risk a conjecture on the present conjuncture; whether he will leave the dastardly Peruvians to their fate, or continue to struggle ter their independence, will be determined shortly. La Scrim, the Vice-Roy, is at Cuzco. In a Bando published the bth of March, he says, ' that he shall preserve the territory as an integral part of the monarchy.' The recent events in Spain have bad a great effect on this partof the world. Constitutionalists and Republicans are become decided Roy alists. I am induced to believe that even La Serna, a few weeks since, would not have recognised the monarchical authority in Peru as the ruprenfe authority ; but he now begins to talk about his laird the King, anti to regret that his Sovereign's command* .are so tardy in reaching him. A short time since he wouTel not have given a single real as a sou/shot to the remains of his Most Catholic Majesty; but he has lately heard of the occurrences in Europe, although he has received no official accounts. Should the old commercial regtt hvions be re-established in consequence of this reverse in the Republic of Peru, Great Britain must be a great sufferer in her trade. The printed cotton manufactures of Manchester will be deprived of a good market, and will particularly feel the unfortunate change of affairs. And should our natural ene mies, the French, succeed in establishing a preponderating in fluence in the country, nothing will be left untried to prevent Great Britain from participating in the benefit that may be de rived from any new commercial laws that Spain might think proper to Adopt. But, notwithstanding these desponding events, things are not so bad as to exclude hope. Colombia anti Chili are still fhe ; and Bolivar, perhaps, may be moving towards Lima, with the ten thousand Colombian troops, ordered to be held in readiness for the service of Peru, as intimated in m former letter. One vessel of war can effectually blockade Cal.y lao, so as to prevent any supplies from being obtained by sea; and if his Excellency can collect sufficient force to contend with the Royalists, and invest the place by land, Callao cannot hold out any length of time. people to be favourably disposed towards him , and keeping out of sight the This, however, is supposing the p ro b a bility of the arrival shortly of the Spanish expedition said to have sailed from Europe. e any thing is to be done, it must be 'done immediately. The present season must not be allowed to pass away l • a few weeks will decide the fate of Peru. If' there be :toy fueling in the empire favourable to the cause of liberty, it must he kept alive. Bad as the Pe ruvians are as a nation, yet there are many virtuous and en. lightened individuals amongst them, who will not allow the spirit of freedom to be totally subdued ; and if there is but one spark of independence remaining lit' the country, it will, at some period, burst forth with inereaged strength, the direful effects of which will be tenfold on the oppressors. Thelly is at Callao, and great confiderice is placed in the judennent, t c ! r e i r t a l o c i a l l a j i u u n ol ett p ut ro . pera il y e o i f s t g h e e nuti llr il i y tit a h l ability, and diecretion of 'Captain %rein, in protecting the great prudence, and of no ordinary degree of merit. The mer chants are already apprelicmsive that they may soon receive allowed to orders from the Spanish Governtnent teirtuit the conntry, with their property; but a letter:Teceived at Arequipa from Lima, dated the 6th of March, mtmtionit that 'British property is properly respected Iy' the' axistieg Govero ment.

The men are regularly paid the full amount of their wages ; but the officers have come to the determination of rebelving half-pay only, allowing the other moiety to remain in arrears, to be applied to the exigeticies of the Government. tir cumstances attending the re -occupation of Lima anti Callao, by the Spanish troops, are briefly stated in letters from Owe ray to La Serna (which 1 have this moment got a sighs of dated from Iluancayo, the 10ffi and 14th Marc I arc . The tolow ing is the subst a n ce :—" General division of the _Monet left this velley with a army, and General Rodil, with another divi sion, left Ica, to form a junction at Lorin, which was effected on the 27th J anuary, and at day-light on the morning of the 20th, Don Domaso Mayno, with a portion of these troops, ar rived at Whoa, where they were received with the greatest enthusiasm ; but It appears that the fortresses were not given up till the 6th February. General ltocochea, with seve ral other persons of distinction attached to the Republican cause, escaped from Lima in the night of the 20th, and mo ved towards Truxillo, to join Bolivar."—lt was the River Plate Regiment, No. 11, that delivered up the forts to the enemy, signalizin g their treachery with three salutes.—The magazines were found replete with every kind of stores and provisions ; and seven vessels of war, lying in the roads, also fell into the hands of the Royalists. Torre-Tagle, Allege, and Berindoaga, have been principal instruments in thus destroying the hopes of the Republic. The extent of Torre.Tagle's apostacy, metal and political, it is difficult to d escr ib e . Camerae says to the viceroy, " To.morrow I will send your Excellency an exact account of the forces of Bolivar, which 'l'orre-Taglo and Berin doaga have freely offered to afibrd me. They have given me the assistance of their active co-operation, in subduing those who have not yet acknowledged the existing authority; and for the accomplishment of this object, they have dispatched from Lima the necessary communications; and published a prods mtion, several copies of which 1 have the honour t o t ransm i t to' your Excellency.—fluarochiri, Yauyos, Venac, and other parts, minified a strong desire to embrace the protection of the Spanish Monarchy, and, indeed, the same desire is extending all over the North. " The old, stale, dog-trick of printing and circulating papers to delude the minds of the ignorant, has not been neglected. I have read one of these documents, called a Soliloquy, which, for absurdity and impiety, never was equalled. The poor, stupid dolt, Fernando el Septimo, is there represented far above the King of Kings. But all ;his will not avail. El tri urnib de la Liberid M Desengano del Hombre, El Derecho del Hombre, are Looks that have been extensively published in Peru, and, we liog i the with good effect. Besides, there appears to b e a tm a Cic ousy in e Head-quarter: here. !et Serna, Canterac, and nate eve, in retaining Peru to this protracted pc- Hod, create the astonishment of every one possessed of a know ledge of the difficulties they have to contend with ; but, their success has been greatly owing to a more concili atory mode of conduct towards the inhabitants, than the feeble, inert, and, in many cases, oppressive Government of the Patriots; so that every one, for immediate convenience and in terest, is become what is here termed a Gods, or Goth, or Spa. niard. The cause, however, of liberty, being the cause of all mankind, remains the same, and must engage the best feelings of humanity . It is not because they are Peritvians we whili them free; tis because they constitute a portion of mankind, deprived of the natural right of being independent of foreign controul. " Admiral Guise is blockading Callao. He has lately taken or destroyed the vessels of war which the Royalists took posses. slon of at the fall of that place. By letters received at Arc. quips, front Lima, it appears that British property has been respected. The house of Cochran, Robertson, and Co. has con. erected to supply the fortress of Callao with twelve month's pro visions. " The Fly will leave Callao on the Tartar's arrival : Mersey will be stationed in the intermediate ports, occasionally visiting the two principal places, Callao and and Valparaiso. The Aurora may return to Callao front San Blas, by the latter end of June,; but it is thought that it will be some time in July. She then proceeds to Rio and England. These are the only vessels of war on this sid e of Cape Horn." FOR THE SUN. FREE PR ESS (No. VII.) SHORT FACTS, AND HONEST OPINIONS.

I have spoken of things truly as they exist, and being fully aware of my feeble power in the art of persuading persons into my opinions, or changing the sentiments they have already adopted, as neither nature nor education has given me the power ascribed by Eupolis, when speaking of Pericles— " On his lips persuasion hung, And powerful reason rui'd his tongue ; Thus he alone could boast the art To charm at once and sting the heart." Lacking " honeyed accents," we have only to depend on plain straight-forward reasoning, ant i matter of fact detail. For the purpose, however, of putting the Subject of the Free Press in India in a clear light before the British Public, we will introduce two or three official opinions and records. In our subsequent letters, we will review the question in a gene. ral way, and look at it tom the first time the point was mooted down to the present day, and as we pass on, will take a glance at the sentiments of sevsral public men, who have advocated the cause, in and out of the House of Commons. The first do cument we extract is of recent date, and its brevity is another recommendation. I leave it to the sensible and impartial public of England, whether, considering the nature of our dominion in the East, the character of the heterogeneous, fiery and fanatical millions over whom we rule, and bearing constantly in mind that they sayer possessed a max CONsTITUTION, or any chartered rights; I say, considering these paramount reasons, will it be said that there is any thing harsh or unjustifiable in the ordinances contained In the subjoined record : _ " Fort William, April 5, 1823. " The Governor-General in Council, with reference to the " bye-law passed on the 14th ult., and registered in the Su " creme Court on the 4th inst., deems it proper to notify to the " Proprietors and Editors of Newspapers and other Periodical " Works, as specified in the aforesaid bye.law, that the publi " cation in any such paper or periodical work, of matter corn. " ing under any of the following heads, will subject them to be " deprived of the licence under which such paper or periodical " work may be conducted:— " 1. Defamatory or contumelious reflectionsagainst the King " or any of the Members of the Royal Family. " 2. Observations or statements touching the character, con " stitution, measures, or orders of the Court of Directors, or " other Public Authorities in England connected with the Go " vernment of India ; or the character, constitution, measures, " or orders of the Indian Governments; impugning the mo. tives and designs of such Authorities or Governments, or in " any way intending to bring them into hatred or contempt, to " excite resistance to their orders, or to weaken their authority. " 3. Observations or statements of the above description, rale " five to allied or friendly native powers, their Ministers, or " Representatives. " 4. Defamatory or contumelious remarks or offimsive insi. " nuations levelled against the Governor-General, the Gover. " norm or Commanders-in-Chief, the Meinbere of Council, or " the Judges of his Majesty's Courts at any of the Presiden. " cies, or the Bishop of Calcutta ; and publications of any " description tending to expose them to hatred, obloquy, or " contempt; also libellous or abusive reflections and insinua " tions against the public officers of Government. " 5. Discussions having a tendency to create alarm or sus " picion among the native population, of any intended official " interference with their religious opinions and observances, " and irritating and insulting remarks on their peculiar usages " and modes of thinking on religious subjects. " 6. The republication from English or other papers of " passages coming under the foregoing heads. " 7. Defamatory publications tending to disturb the peace, " harmony, and good order of society. " 8. Anonymous appeals to the public relative to grievances " of a professional or official nature, alleged to have been sus. " tained by public officers in the service of his Majesty or the " lion. Company." The generous feeling of the British is soon ex cited, when a case of private wrong is inflicted on an indivi ittud by the Government, or by persons in power : h is a natural feeling in the nation, and 1 hope never to see it cease, or that the day may arrive when they view with apathy any vindictive or unjust measures of their rulers. It was glorious see with what alacrity and zeal the public took up the case of Cornet Battier, and the more shameful treatment experi enced by Mr. O'Callaghan. This proud feeling of resisting, injuring, and succouring the weak and oppressed, did the Press and the Public the highest credit. Other nations may talk of 'their chivalrous actions, their love of justice, and their zeal in the c uset o f liberty, but it is the Briton who understands and NV hen India is concerned, unfortunately from i gnoran ce of the country and people, great misapprehension Is enter t a ined : knowing nothing of facts, and only seeing decep. dye and falsified statements, they are easily mi s l e d. E ver on the vive, when the right of the subj ec t is su pposed to be compromised, their zeal and enthusiasm often outruns that calm investigation of circumstances ; and that unbiased judg ment is lost sight of, by the aid of which alone they can arrive at any fair conclusion. An idea exists even among well-informed men, that the acts of the Government abroad solely originate with the Governor-General--whereas he is only a party in the acts Of the State. The Supreme Council at Calcutta (as well as the subordinate Councils at Madras and Bombay) consists of the Governor-General, generally a Nobleman of high rank and character, and always appointed by hi s M a j esty 1 m Ministers, free from any influence of' the East India Company. The other Members are the Commander-in-Chief, appointed under similar circumst a n ce s to t h e Governor-General ; and from being a servant of the Crown, and in every way independent of the Company, one would suppose him to possess honest and un prejudiced sentiments, and from being strangers to the country, he tree from local partialities or feelings. in every way they are unrestrained by any ideas of dependence or expectation of favour from the East India Company. The remainder of the Council is formed by a selection from the old and tried civil Servants of the Establishment; and in die selection the Direc tors at home, for their own interest, take especial care to select able and talented men, not only that their great experience and knowledge are of the first moment to the welfare of the State, but that the Directors may have men in the Council, on whom they can depend in the hour of danger and trouble; and it must be evident how necessary their influence and aid must be, whew the other two Members are strangers to every thing connected with and concernieour vast Empire in Asia. It may be asserted th a t these two Members being servants of the Company arc their dependants, this Ido deny. No public officers, perhaps, of any Government can be more Independent than the Member of the Supreme Council. In the first place, he has risen to the highest post he can attain ; f r o m t hi s l ie cannot be removed till the expiration of his five years of Coun cil. In a recent Board of Council the two civil servants were personally unknown to twenty.two of the Directors out of the twenty-four, of which number that body consists, so that it is but honest to conclude that no favouritism or sycophancy had an influence in the then nomination ; in short, as both of them had not quitted India for upwards of thirty years ; it must be clear that their personal influence could not have much weight in Leadenliall-street. These two very Gentlemen were the per. sons that the eloquent Mr. BROUGHAM described in Parliament as being two of the most eminent men in India, yet these re. spectable men were both hostile to a Free Press. It would be rather unkind to suppose that they did not possess integrity and judgtnent, knowledge of that which was right, and a detes tation of that which was wrong.' It is certainly extremely weak and unchristianlike to assert that four individuals of high pub. lie character, greet private worth, and always possessing the esteem and confidence of their fellow-men, should be set down by a few insulated (and comparatively speaking unknown) in. dividuals as idiots, tyrants, or sycophants, simply because they have the misfortune to differ with men, who on every public question, right or wrong, are sure to be found in opposition. o. O N L I need not instance the sentiments of two or throe individual s of' experience, judgment, and integrity . lire have a h ost o f public men whose opinions can be nothing else than con v i nc i ng, The lion..

Sit CHARLES FORBES himself, formerly a free merchant in Ind:a, and while there, for upwards of thirty years, living under tut restrictions to which all Europeans are subject, is averse to s Free Press. " India was not (he thought) at present in a " situation to admit a Free Press." This is the public opinion of an eminent individual, known at home by the designs:ion of the " liberal-minded Indian," and abroad as the Prince of Merchants. Lord HASTINGS, unhappily (for himself ) With a noble and generous mind that did him the highest honoan tried the experiment, and was obliged to abandon the scheme. Ile found it would wit answer. The 'great Sir the_ Jobs havdeclared, theta Five Press in India ivould'he " worse than the most odious despotism." Mr. JENKINS, st Najpore, possesses similar sentiments ; he is a man inf erior to none that I have spoken of, in character, experience, and know. ledge. Sir THOMAS Muxno has his objections on record lie. will certainly allow to a man, who has raised himself from being an Ensign in. the Army to the Government of Madnet, Or° ' little weight in our discussion, and would alm ost be dis posed, were it not for giving offence to the advocates of the measure, to put his judgment and information in competition with any three of our opponents. Mr. RANDLE JACKSON haS so ably expressed his opposition to a Free Press, that nothing who his remains fur me to say, further, than that n o man never been out of England, possesses better information, .01 takes a clearer view of India topics than Mr. J. True it is We , that as he is employed by the Directors, as their legal adviser ; his opinions are partial.
