This, is however in unison with the whole . tone of iheSe deg-ep,erate and Worthless men. • A:really brai , e and noble Foe treats the vanquished With kint"iness, and laments over the. valiant enemy who falls be fare him in battle. Lie is the Iltiman•Lion, but these scoundrels are the Llyenna's of the desert, who howl with horrid pleasure over the dead carcases of those they have destroyed. One, of this class of de testable Beings gloats on the ileaths of PARKER and Ross. and unfeelingly. cracks his jokes on Sir PETER PARKER'S " last frolic." Our Cotn►nander on Like Cha►nplain was Cap tain. FISHER. French Papers to the 17th convey no news of importance. Their contents will be found in a preceding column• . _ The inventive faculties of some of our Contem poraries seem to have been exerted to the utmost on the subject of Mr: CANNING'S Embassy to Lisbon, his political relations with Liverpool, and, in fine, with all his motions, private and public. We are not .surprized that the co-opera dim of a Statesman of such distinguished abilities with an Administration already too strong for them, should excite all the jealousy of the Opposition, and prompt the overflowing of much of their superabundant gall. We do not, however, sit clown to correct their dis positions, but their facts ; which latter are as unfounded as the former are unalniable. There is no truth in the report that Mr. CANNING is about to decline 'the Representation of LiverpooL His ardent admirers and staunch friends in that Town may, therefore, rely on the continued services of one of the ablest' men of the present age. Of, course, the elevation of Sir W. SCOTT to the Peerage (of which we know nothing) could not induce the Right Honourable Gentlem..n to offer himself for Oxford or for any other place. Sure we are he could not connect himself with any Constituents more zealously attached to him, or greater admirers of his transcendant talents, than those with whom he is already so honoura bly connected. On the subject of the Prince Regent of POTATU GAL, we repeat, and challenge contradiction, that his Royal Highness has signified his 'determina tion to return to Lisbon, and t,iat it is at his own request that a British' Squadron hassaileti for Rio 'Janeiro to escort him to Europe. It is there fore probable that M. CANN/NG will immedi ately assume the character of Ambassador to the PRINCE REGENT.. , , Upon the ground of this appointineut, and the allo►cances attached to it, the ilfdrui4Chroniele, with its accustomed malignity, has uttered a tirade, which, though partly true in fact, is. false it► ap- plication, and inalicions in insinuation. We have taken pains to ascertain the real state of this case, and from the best inform:loOn in our power, pledge ourselves to the accuracy of the following : There are two rates of Ambassadorial .allow ances ; the highest at 11,000/. ; the lower at 80001. Paris and Petersburgh are of the former, the'Peniusular Embassies of the latter class But the Exlraordinaries, as they are called, of ;he Mis sions to Spain and Portugal; that is, the Drafts of the Ministers at Madrid and Lisbon for extra ex pences beyond their ordinary allowance, have been for the last four years enormous ; say 18,0001. or 20,000/. n-year. This has unavoidably happened, from the nature of their duties, and Parliament and the Government at home have sanctioned the necessary expenditure. We believe: - however, that, from the altered circumstances of Europe, these expences are now in a course of reduction. From this statement, then, it will appear that Mr. CANNING, in obtaining the specification of the extraordinaries, has not, as insinuated by the Chronicle, called for a larger sum than is usually allowed . to persons in the .high situation he has undertaken to fill ; but that, on the contrary, it is in fact a limitation and restriction, instead of an( augmentation. So much for the perversion of truth for the de- fawatory put poses of Party. But we have not space to dwell on this matter. • Considering the independent and elevated growl(' on which Mr. CANNING stands in the , political world, we are sure we. need nut add one argument to sheer, that in this instance, as in all others, he has adopt" ed a course strictly consonant to the best interests of the country, and his own honour. Siandmg as he does in regard to polities, it , was wise to limit the expeffliitur,: of his Embassy, rather tan to proceed to a much larger extent Os has been (hoe to this hour), in netiog upon his own judgment : and the sum fixed! upon .Ippears to be so moderate; as it once to retoticile it with . :vas priuti4t hilt), and the lowest justiC, , the part of tne tiovernment. can hArilly cleeetiti to such contemptible ; hut the may say, that the tinie is gone pail for the Cbroitiele to induce a belief that ;Any pecuniary benefit wilt result to the Anlbastit doi Front ttelt tail aiTangeMerft. 000f"' • il cs 560 tii e stria, tb . of c i by (". sc" d ' p rop ifittito P •,,11 141C11g r. 11 °3l ; e vroli 11 15tr p , t); CID . 10' 4 1:e (11C 01' e6 l' rel )l. ,et rishe : 0 to P 4 , ft° pU r r be o.,p re ' boa* tt lie sa a Y s IDI t° A O , - AD vie ;lOW of iirg° 1)Y O s ' ree bit ° have bt li eti f n " A ' Ic e ii AttO rg . t .
