PAULL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-The attention of yotir numerous - Readers - is desired to the following fads, takes from,authentic letters and other documents drawn up by -Mr. PAum., and ,to the consequences‘to'betfterwaris deduced from - them. . :First, He Was a diligent !)bservdr of the political and military transa&ions or MarCilli'WEilEtwe d4ring his government of clur Possessions in the East Indies - , as, appears by thejollOwing passage of his letter to Lord,,FoLKESTONg, dated ; the ,cioth of Ofto 1806, wherein he says, that..‘.' having, during several years residence in India, been an eye-witness of many of those a&s of Lord WELLESLEY which have recently been developed -to. the nation, 'and ktying formed kresolution ,to make them the sub jei or legal investigation.—He forthiS PurpOie ob taMed "a sear inlParliament.Cobbetfe Weekly Pal. Beg. Oa. 25, 1806. Secondly. That as a, diligent observer of ' the a&s of the late G l 4verbor-General, the following - faCts ; stated in his own doeuthehts, had home to his full knowledge ,srt'earlyas the very beginning of Di: , tembar • • -•-• badacquired knoWledge, in general terms, that in the two years preceding 1802 the Durbat Charges of Marquis WELLEsLey ., (which may be called the Civil List of the GOvernor-General) had, fr:) , ;) various causes, been greatly, increa . sed, although he cal4 - !it not then -know , ' the exa& rate of that in- crease, :itch .must have ,excee4d . '/41.'per cent. es appears, by his. First .(;Itarge again 'it Marquis WEL LESLEY' untitled money, IN g), printed by order of the Cointhons: 2dly, That immediately on his xeturn to the capi- ' tal of Oude (Locknow), alter his " short absence in Europe," and considerably' before Dec. 1802, he, exercising his diligent observation, obtained certain knowledge of the cession, in perpetuity; - of one half of the- territories of the 'Nabob of that Pro vince, which was made to the Eaorindia 'Company by the treaty dated Nov. 1501 ; mentioned in his charge against the Marquis tor . his- transaaionS Oude, printed' by_ order of the House. And, in consequence of that knowledge, , he immediately formed the opinion of the justice ox injustice of the treaty; which now holds, whatever that may be. 3d, That it is highly probable that he then was fully acquainted with the Cession of the Province of Ferru4abid " in perpett9l sovereignty to the East India Company," as' stated by hint - in - the charge relating thereto, printed by order of the house, (p. 4th). And that he had, prior to Decem ber 1802, formed the same idea of the justice or in justice of the treaty which be now entertains. Thirdly, That having, by the diligent observation he declares himself to have given to the subject, formed the very opinions he now entertains of the general chara4er of the Marquis, in a letter to him, dated from LucknOw, Dec. 5, 1802, printed by or der of the House, he expresses to him his sense, that " although engaged in-the affairs of a mighty Empire, he was, however, well aware that the con cerns of an humble individual were not beneath His • Excellency's notice." He gives his testimony to " that excessive, wise, liberal, and enlightened po ,_ 'bey which marked every as of the administration of HIS Excellency, to whom no man ever complained in vain that complained with justice ;" and Mr. PA Liu. concludes his letter to him with professions of " an indelible sense of past obligation, with great considerations and of the highest respea."— Th se praises_ can be applicable only to one of the most excellent of Governors ; and at the time they were written, Mr. PAULL'S opinions, with respect to the justice or injustice of the condua of the Marquis in Oude, were the same as they have been at any time since ; and there is a probability falling little short of certainty, that the like must be true of his decisions on the merits of the measures pursued in Ferruckabad, and the economy or' pro fusion of his Durbar charges to the end of 1801. Fourthly, In his Letter to Lord FOLKESTONE on the 20th of October, printed in the Political Regi ster of that week (p. 653), speaking of the condit of Lord WELLESLEY towards the Nabob and coun try of Oude, as well as towards the other Princes of Hindostan,Mr.PAULL says, that his" acts of aggres sion have far surpassed4hose of that Enemy against whose violations of public laW we are endea vouring, and justly endeavouring, to excite the indignation and hostility of the world ;" and dint 4‘ these aggressions have rendered the British name " hatefuriii lTndia :" hereby charging ..him with a tyranny more vile than'that.of NAPOLEON. And it 4 his charges•.against him for hii tranmelions in Oude and Firruckabad;-.the cenchiSions of both run in the same terms. In each Mr. PAULL accuses him of " having been wholly unmindful of his solemn en gagemaats-of-..duty-to the. East India C_n_rnpany, to his Sovereign, and to his Country ; daringly con-_ temning the Parliament, the King, and the Laws, and dishonouring the British nation and name."— (jharges, pages 1,3, and b.)* That in a time of ex treme distress; his Durbar charges " exceeded, by .ipo,oool. ayear, -the Most profuse expenditure of any of his predecessors ;" (Part. Deb. Cobbett's Paul Speech, march •17, 1806) and that he was guilty "of applying large sums of public money to his Own use, for his own convenience, his own °.show, and splendour," Sudh •Charges'aii-i applicable to'no one but a faith- -, less and execrable tytant; Ofthe foundations - of • h t is fatting Stieh a judgment, Mr. PAux.r; evidently produceS the Treaty with the Nabob of Oude as. the strongest ; and if he ever did a&ually form it, it must have been before December 1802, and.al - roost inirnedttely upon his - return to that country. The diligent observer , of the measures of ,the Mit tjuisWELL - sum, whet is doubtless 'a rnan of gal , ability., -could: not:have _remained long in the 4ountry without .a.firrn, and unalterable decision on the justice or injustice of a recent Treaty, whereby.

Lo' D'o MON DAY, NOVEMBER 10 ,1806:- Tilts morning a Gotienkurgh arrwcili brings no intelligence; respeaiiig the opeirationk of • , . . , the Armies. I .Ve find, however, a, repetition of re ports, to which we alluded on SatUrday, of the ttea cheiy of some of the Officers it 7 the- Prussian.. ger-. vice. We regret very much that at such an interest- . ing crisis as the present we should be unable -to obtain any authentic intelligence from the Continent. The accounts which we have lately received are in general so confused and unconneeted,- that it is f ficult' to form any opinion upon them. In. one im portant faa, however, they all agree, viz, that the French were advancing with the utmost rapidity towards the shores of the Baltic, with ,the view of cutting off the retreat of that }mit of the Prussian Army that was endeavouring to reach the Oder. But the French have another very important obje& in view by this movement, and that is, to obtain the command of the navigation of the Elbe and the Weser, and of course to exclude British Vessels from them. We are happy, how ever, to find, that in consequence of 'the time ly precautions which have been taken, very few, if any, of our Merchantmen will fall into their hands. It is singular that we have yet re ceived no authentic account of the corps under the command of the Duke of BiltiNswtoc. OEt.s and the Duke of WEIMAR., because it must either have eifeCted its retreat, or had a battle with the French by the latter end of last month. The French, in point of time, had considerabl✓ the advantage ; and if they had a sufficiet)t force they could, olcorase, pre vent-the retreat of the Prussians. Some of the accounts state, that the Prench had determined to bombard Stettin ; and it is even said that a Corps had been aziered to take possession of Swedish Pomerania. -- That ScritirnaTE--will wrest -Pomerania from th e KING of e SwEpt4, l Vhe,shotild be ultimately suc cessful, there can he no doubt ; but under the, present cirCuttsances; 'we• da-ynat think that he would venture to detach so large a force as would be necestary for . the conquest .of Pomerania-7-r We are sorry to. find that no d'atitit4s.have been received, upon which implicit relianyi : can c be placed, of the progress of the Russian_ Aimy. It is confi dently reported, that, a Corps ofl 5 or 20,0ti0 Rus sians have reached the panks of the Oder, but of the ,approach of the main body we have no certain lit telligence.
