From an indirea confession, of the Jacobin Chro nicle, ,it appears that all the scurrilous attacks it makes 'Upon Ministers are merely calculated to vex and render them indignant ; that is, if we understand the meaning - of the word inaVnatior, to, excite their • contempt, as well as resentment against produClions ,that. at. this critical period, must incur the reproba tion of the whole Country. MaleivOlent spirits are gederally self-tormenters,' and in, the.ardour with which they endeavour, to throw obloquy, *upon the virtuous, defeat themselves by -fAliacy' and'rnis-re. presentation. The charge .thatc Ministers have uniformly opposed all Inquiry, falls under this de. scription, -since, on the contrary.; it is obvious to every man who has read the Daily Prints, that they have,ever courted an open discussion "of those measures which Opposition stamped as. objeCtiOn.. 'able; that they have as successfully refuted those :Objectlions _to the entire - satisfaCtion of the Emti hire at large ; have amply justified their condo.l in every instance, ,and left it to Parliament to-deter mine whether Motions fdr formal inpity should be adopted ; they • are not Ministers, therefore, who have obstruCled such investigations, for, those they could not have prevented, had not the Senate, from a conviCtion of their integrity, and a just confidence in their laudable exertion's, resisted such frivolous propositions. The French (says this Journalist) have•ever adfaied to deny the intention of rnvading this Country. :The French, we assert, have 'affected the threatening tone of invading, us from the commencement of hostilities to the present day, and, without adducing proofs too numerous fOr quotation, leave it to ourßeaders to determine . which of these positions deserve to be credited.— We shall only add, that every praise is'due to Go vernment, for carrying an assault to our Enemy's shores, rather than being content with such arrange ments as, however vigorous ' , must still layus 'open to' attack,. and leave us, at best; but in a defensive situation ; it is not 'after the example of France, that. ritons, cover . themselves 'with glory.- While we thus *stow applause .upon"men, it is for the noble measures of which. they are tbs,authors ;-- our expressions being too feeble for just panegyric, ; the tribute of personal encomium is' "only eltorted, from us when calumny and detra,aion are vented against _tile most resplendent.charaCters that have ever illuminated our political horizon. , . , The ships Lady Jane Pandas, 13eng41, and Lady purges, lately arrived, from p e n gal „ have now sent up all their packets \ e to the;East-Indiq House these contain -a 'voluminous colledian of R ecor d s i n very department, the'increaSe of. which is pxo‘ligious be yond example.. .
