LONDON, SEP:FL - 71111ER zz,'lBol. THI SUN. SOLEM IaUIS . DICIRIt TALSVM AUDZAT ? •Ws had yesterday the satisfa6lion to present our Readers, EXC LUS iv ELY, with the Paris Papers to the gth inst. They brought us letters from Ratisbon of the 3d inst. but they are of little importance. They continue to assert that the EMPEROR and Prussia still maintain the best understanding, which we may surely be allowed to doubt, since the Ele6tion of Munster. It is calculated that of 97 votes, of which the College of Princes consists, sz are in the hands of the Prussian Minister, a number no doubt very considerable, but nevertheless far from ensur- ing a majority. A Letter from Stutgard of the 9th says, that the ARCHDUKE CHARLES , had on the . ist inst. ar rived in that city., We should be almost tempted to believe that this was an error of the Press, and that it was one of his brothers who was going to take a tour in Italy. It seems that if PRINCE CHARLES had been about to leave Vienna, and to proceed to Suabia, the letters from the Capital would have informed us of it. Such a journey in the present circumstances could not fail to have been remarked, and would indeed have been de- serving of it. The Moniteur of the 18th contains the speech pronounced at the Helvetic Diet by Citizen RUT TINIAN, who presided, provisionally, on the day of its opening, a speech which in the midst of its Re volutionary pathos, contains some truths that will probably not be too highly approved at Paris. c' For three years," said he, " we . have walked as it were on coals of fire." IN this anxious moment of suspense and uncer tainty., when rumours of every and of the most op posite description arc in daily circulation, which it would be neither creditable to ourselves to Adopt, nor satisfactory to our Readers to present them with, we hope that the Public will require no apology from us, for justifying, by a few Oh bervations, the course which we have thought it pur dury to take, and the language that we have held during the progress of the present Negotiation. On this subjea we feel ourselves firm on the most deliberate retrospea of them. If to have steered a middle course between the two extremes into which some appear to have fallen, but between which we think there cam be no com parison; he an error, it is one to which we are very ready to plead guilty. Themaxim media tuthsinitis, has been sot/air/7;es thought wise and prudent, whe ther applied to the Moralist or to the Politician. In fluenced by no spirit of Party, unbotight by Govern ment, which would despise any such means of sup.. port, and unseduced by Jacobinism, we have hazarded opinions which at least had the merit of being founded on the most mature refie6tion. To be firm but temperate; to consult our judgment rather than our feelings ; to avoid the asperity and lofty tone into which some of our cotemporaries have been inca3tiously betrayed on the one hand, and the de praved pusillanimity, combined with the foulest rzt;avery, which have been deliberately adopted by others, has appeared to us, under- the present crisis, not meaning to arrogate too much to ourselves, to have beep truly " Wisdom's part." To the Pub lic we appeal, a Tribunal which we never can fear to face. TO the preceding Administration we ever gave our most zealous support, persuaded as we were, and at any time able to prove, that it was not only with deep reluaance, but under the pressure of in evitable necessity, that they engaged in the present War, and that they considered a vigorous pro secution of it as affording the only hope of its happy termination, till opportunities might Present thems,elves of affording the chance of a sglid Peace. This will ever be to us matter of consolation and - of pride. Of those opportunities every possible advantage was oaken, consistent with the object Which they had .in view. Why have we expussed our confidence in,. His WIAJEs_ present Ministers ? In the first instance, be cause they were men of tried public talents, and of proved personal integrity ; because, though they disclaimed a slavish and obsequious devotion to the opinions of those Who had preceded there, they manfully avowed - a determination_of afting on those great constiturional.orineiples which had saved the contry from ruin. rfhey'desired only to be tried by their condu4 'aria by their measures.' Why do we plaCe bur confidence in Them now ? Because they abundantly up , to every ,profession • y4lip4 th e y made p- 7 -15e0litfsei' . were we to judge of froM events, comp,ete success 'appears to have. ft:: r • 4.- . . fT.,. l pagpf ail pen pwasures what tiwy executed with vigour ;—because, resolutely fo lowing up some great clajeas aimed at by theirpre_ . decessors, and steadily pursuing others judiciously: adopted by themselves, : they have enforcedri*peft abroad, and ensured security at home. ViTe:arc not setting up as their panegyrists; let an observing and discerning People judge for themselves. Thus acing, how could' such a Government fail to be the objet of unceasing slander and calumny to such a Paper as the Morning Chronicle ? What one individual, high in the public estimation (and thank God many there are), what one measure calculated to afford us security at home or suc cess abroad, has it .ever ceased to vilify ? To whom, but to the Enemies of Great Britain, has it ever manifested any partiality ? When has it ever refrained, or when will it ever refrain from holding out encouragement to her foes, and discouragement to her supporters ? Had we leisure to draw up an ahstraa of all the mischievous do&rines, the un blushing falsehoods, the undisguised Jacobinism, the calumnies, the lies, and the knavish consistency of that Paper for the last nine years, or even for the last two months, we should present a piEture to the Public and to Posterity, which the former would look at with indignation, and the latter would con template with astonishment, as having been tole rated at a time when Englishmen had any public feelings, and Laws had any energy. We have said, that towards those who hold the ex treme opinions we entertain very different sentiments . Undoubtedly there may be, and are those who think that we ought not to negotiate at all, or if we do, that no concession whatever, on our part, 'ought to be made. On such opinions we have never com mented, because however we totally dissent from them, we cannot help respeaing the motive and the feelings to which they are to be traced. From such men we only expert equal candour. The terms on which the Negotiation has hitherto been concluded are as yet, and highly to the credit of Administra tion, a profound secret. If we have ever made uie of the word sacrifices, which might be made towards the attainment of so desirable an objet we are well persuaded that the. Public could never suspea us of meaning any that were not only not derogatory to our honour, but such as were positively calculated to secure tile permanence of that blessing, when once attained. We look forward to Peace with hope, or to the other alternative with confidence ; the more so, as we are not without sufficient pledges that a Government which has never yet been elated by Prosperity, will, under increasing difficulties, never fail in those decisive exertions which a spirited laccoluc a great and flourishing Empire. Br the Ship Martin, which has arrived at Fal mouth in eight days from St. Sebastian, we receive an account of a quarrel having taken place in the Province of Valentin, between the French and Spa nish Troops, in which the former are said to have had eighty men killed. if this intelligence he car; rea, its Consequences may be ultimately of great importance.
