LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1806. General MAITLAND arrived at Ceylon on . the 18th of July. THE Lord Howe Frigate has arrived at Ports mouth from the East Indies, having on boafd Nlar quis WELLESLEY and his Suite. No further intqlligence from the Continept had reachsed us when this Paper was put to Press. The tone of the chief Opposition Paper at present is so grossly personal, that it must tend to excite disgust in every reader whose mind is . not blinded by political rancour. Iti'hEt, the language of the Opposition Writers at this moment is exactly cor respendent with that which ,prevailed during the very worst period of the French Revolution. It is not enough' that these Writers impugn the measures of Government, and. exaggerste whatever may tend to depress the spirit of the Nation ; they coarsely drag forth the names of persons in office, and substitute personal scurrility for fair argument. — But this is not all, for such is the inveterate malice , of Party, that even the health of Mr. PITT is the sUb jeCt of despicable ribaldry, as well as the stimulus to political hope and venal ambition: Can it be con ceived that such a mode of Political Warfare can be acceptable to the generous charaCter of the British , People ? Or can it be imagined that A People as dis tinguished, for justice as for generosity, will ap-` prove. of the attempts to prejudge the Minister: as to what lie has :to say on the opening of the Parlia ment ? People will give him a liberal credit for what he has dope. They will 'col: with as much candour on the - result of the late unfor tunate attempts, of the Combined Powers, as they did.with hope. and confidence on the Opening of 'a Campaign 'Which promised to rescue Europe from. the overwhelming, power of France.—lf Mr. PITT shall be found to have been the chief mover of the . Continental Powers against the caring ambition of France, he will deserve the mere credit, not withstanding the unfortenate course of events 3 and the wonder will be that PoWers, threatened with total ruin by the General Disturber of Mankind ~' should have so little fores4ight as to stand in teed of 'foreign instigation. Ent it is a libel upon the understanding as well as the honour of those Powers, to suppose that they were not sufficiently alive to their danger, and resolved to take all possible means to avert it. The chief ;round of,lamentation is, that they were not sufficiently aware of the character of their adversary, whose cunning is - equal to his ferocity, and who is at al l times ready to, profit by occasion, to hesitate at no means for the accoinplishtnent of his 'ends, and "to A effect by artifice what he cannot obtain by force..sis Mr. PITT to be responsible for - the enormities of that common Disturber of the world, or for the conduct of those who might have given,effeastal aid checking his career of injustice, but who sufferedlim to cams mit those outrages which enabled him to proceed With unexpected rapidity? What then can Mr. PITT have to fear ?. He-may have much. to :regret . on ac- . , . count of the condu& of others, but he has no ground for self-reproach. He On thy;, cc tr:lrv„ full reason to expeft the approbnon of his Country for endeavouring to rescue Europe from i pending - tu spry, and to give security to every regular Govern 'tient against theunappeasablerancour of the inostAnibitious Des, pot the world ever beheld. ' We tii;•!re . fore lbok"for, ward; ivithout dismay, because we are sure that the Great Minister : who stood,firmly ;.tanst .t he conta, gion of French principles, when some of the most distinguished chargters in this Country had caught the infeCtion; and whose wisdom and fortitude saved this CountrY in the hour of : pea will be able to secure its s3fety, its in'depentl9PcP; and its honour,. There is one principle which the Opposition 'Writers and Speakers have adopted, from which _ they have never in a single instanee .deviated, and that is, to Make Mr. PITT responsible for every Mis 'fortune, even fOr those which happen; to our Allies, over , whose: operations he has no controul, 'and to allow. him. no credit for those brilliant successes Whi6hilave been obtained uißler his innuediate,dl:. reCtion. certainly, is a very convenient mode of arguing for. those who are determined always to find fault but it is.:not very likely to make any im pression Upon the Public.. We have indeed been told, that all the merit of our Naval Viaories, ex cept that which belongs.to our gallant Officers and Seamen, is to . be attributed solely to the Board of Ad miralty, and that the other branches ofAdwinistratiou are not entitled to any share of praise. We shall not, we are Sure, be Suspecaed of wishing in any. degtce. , to derogate from : the high praise which is due . , to the present / ,Admiraltys.Bbard.., for • its constant and almost unparalleled exertions. The Noble Lord at the head, and the other Members, of that Board, are entitled to, and the 'gratitude and the confidence of their Country. It is li - oweVer' :a little singular to' find the OppOSition - • • 'Writers so very anxious to confine all the praise to that branch' of Government. The illiberal, the personal at .tacks which were made by them upon the venerable First Lord" of the Admiralty, when he was appointed to that high Situation, - cannot be forgotten. It was more than insinuated that his advanced age would disqualify him for performing the arduous duties of ;his Office ; and the Public were repeatedls-. told; , and with the utmost confidence, that it was not in tended that his Lordship should continue in the Of fice—that he was merely appointed to fill up the vacancy for a tnne, &c. Such was the lan guage of those who now represent the Admiralty as the only efficient part'of the Administration But praise oT censure, when proceeding not from honest judgment, but from such obvious party,.ma lignity; can only excite - contempt er.disgust. All suitable pi cparations are rnade ,at the Admiralty for receiving the revered remains of Lord NELSON. The Body is to be deposited in what is called. the Captain's Room," which, is hung with black for the aweful occasion, and in which it is to be placed . for the night. It will be guarded by some of the Undertakers and the Officers of the House. —lt is not e4Cted to reach the Admiralty till about four o'clock. The PRINCE, we understand, will attend Lord NLLSON'S Rineral to-morrow in his state coach and six, followed-by two other carriages, in which will be the Earl of Mont A, Lord HUTCHINSON, Messrs. ERSKINE, SELIttpAN, Colonels 11/1 4 1VIAuoti, LEIGH, &c. '&C. Admiral Sir PETER PARKER, Bart. is arrived in town, to attend the Funeral, as Admiral of the Fleet: The three Gentlemen who attend Lord I,\Tt SON'S . Funeral, -as his Lordship's State Officers (TreasUrer, Comptroller, and, Steward), and who were, in fa6t, the persons most distinguished by his regard and friendship, will receive.the honour of knighthood, as has been usual on similar occasions.

She hod 50D men and 24 offic6rs of the sth Regiment on hand, - and 50 - Men and 21 officers belonging to the Buffs, all of whom were made prisoners of war. It was- with difficulty they escaped even with their lives ; not an officer- or , man had time to secure to hi inself any thing except the clothes on - his back. It is with pleasure we learn from the Transport Board, that a negotiation has already been concluded for the exchange of these troops, who A.\''o may again soon e4et to - see in their native country, •Ye4erday d Court of Dire&ors was held at the East India House, when- Captain C.

ANOTHER LtTTER, SAME DATE. Last evening as the Cappys,:of t 6 guns, Lieu"- tenant UstrEA,* just come in from sea, was turning up Catwater, in trying to avoid a vessel near the en trance, she missed stays and took the ground this side, Mount Batten, When the tide flo*ed, it was thought she would ,swing off, but she stock fast, arid' took in a. great deal of water. It is hoped, as every,e4- ertion is made to- . .brint :her off by her spirited Owner, the Officers and lCrew of the Co/pays,- she will be got off this or to-morrom'. s. tide, if the wea-;' then holds moderate. PORTSMOUTH., JAN. 7.—Arrived at .Shithead the Lord 1-lowe Frigate, from the East. Indies, and has brought home Marquis WELLESLEX and his Suite.

She is completely clis- 7 mantled, and many of her men drafted off already. The riggers gave attendance to-day in order to get her up opposite the Dock-yard, but the wind, usual, was too high. Curiosity has led many here to see- her ; but when she gets- to Chathatu most probably the spectators will be . More numerous, Two -Mooring Lighters were put out of the third dock yesterday, and the Ilde will be taken 41 for a thorough repair to=morrow or next day, • The Hope, DENTON, with oats, bacon, &c. sailed out of Scarborough, on Thursday week, about 10 A. M. for London, the - s.s itxl N. and consequently; as sea-faring men term it, dead upon the coast , :; and blowing at the' same time a violent gale, She had •no sooner set sail; than one of her Owners im- Mediately took his horse, and rode to Flamborotigh head, antrittst arrived in time to witness, not only the loss of hig Vegsel, but of every soul on board of her. There were 100 people assembled on the cliff, and, yet . there 'was 'no possibility of reseue,_ that part of the cliff I\hich immediately faced the suf. ferers presenting a perpendicular rock 80 yards high, and it being besides about half good, the waves ra-, •ed with violence, which after throwing the vessel on a rock,'in a moment dashed her into a thousand pieces"; .she no sooner struck than she disappeared. Two of. the people got upon the bowsprit, and strug gled against the cold, and the waves which broke over them, for a considerable time, beckoning with their hands for assistance, but in vain. Besides her crew, consisting of the Captain, tour men, and a boy, she had two passengers, Capt. Ward, and one Wilson, a Sailor. Neither ship nor any part of the cargo (worth altogether 30001.) was insured. The Que,bc Packet, BENNETT, of Hull, from-Lon don, in ballast, ~was driven ashore near Theddle thorpe, on the Lincolnshire Coast ; in the night of Sunday se'nuight. The Vessel had lost her anchors and cables and mizen mast; but received little other injury, and was expeded to be got off the ensuing spring tide. • Pressing orders have been received at Portsmouth to get'stich Frigates and smaller Vessels as are under repair, ready for sea with all possible expedition. THE OPERA. —GRASSIN I, who has been some time much indisposed, was able to return to her duty last night in the Opera of Gl' Orazzi e Curazzi; and exerted herself with admired effed. There was mach beauty and expression in her tiding, and thd airs were given with interesting pathos. The Au= dience welcomed her return with most flattering zeal. BR AII AM sung with great skill. The whole closed with the favourite Ballet of La Kite Sauvage.
