Colo4lel MACLEOD, M ,jor FUOELSANO And Ma-
in. Moue, were wounded in the secor..l
which is rep need to hav2 been mere serious than
the first, all of which the Treasury Journals
admit the particulars are unknown. After such
an admission, a candid mind would feel itself
called upon to suspend its judgment, and to wait
tot a full and satisfadory report of the case, before
it pronounced its censure. Indeed we have been
hitherto accuotomed to set the mo►t profligate Prints
sacriiiciag something to charaiter, and professing
a respell for that truth which they were daily
violating. It was reserved for, the Treasury
Prints of the present day, to disown all such scru-
ples as contemptible. They praAise no hypo-
crisy, nor study any disguise. lt, by the bold-
ness of their assertions, and their eruire cl,votion
to the purposes of their party, they can recom-
mend themselves to their employers. they care not
how much truth is violated, and the public shocked
by their ullostado.l el trnsur and unmarked attacks
upon the late Ministers, whose talents they envy.
Whose power they fear. and whose character they
daily labour en defame. Their senaures upon the
Expedition against Rosetta, furnish a striking illas-
t 'rims of these observations.
Wiser' they had only learned thefaft of the failure,
and bcto•e even vague rumours announced the
that has found its way into convorration upor.
the su:sjeft, the Treasury Prints attlually promised
vs work Otm:lvn into a passion, and to pour all
the phials of their wrath :end indignation upon the
late Mink:try. as the sole cause of the failure.—
To those, however. who consult their own judg-
ment, and do not gave up their principles, thtur
conscience, and their peace, to these polluted organs
of faltehood, prejiidice, and purty, we submit the
following observations:—
In the Crat place, the fasts are quite unknown,
a,d therefor- no opinion can be formed as to the
1. ease In the hthineis, and how much of it belongs
to Cse Commandos s.

liy, ding to the account givers by
the Tie.yury Papers. the Commanders were to
Litami almost tobtirely. they having, according to
that account, which is the only nue published, r,s co-
lord Usti; Tug 21U1101 Paws, yesterday, lailei,iat:

an ambush. by entering into Rosetta, totally igno-
rant of its formidable situation.

Thirdly, we do not know that the attack on Ro-
setta was authorised by the instructions, or rendered
necessary by circumstances. It is said, indeed,
that Alexandria was short of provisions, and that
General WACCNOPZ was sent to Rosetta for a sup
ply ; but that is mere conjeture; and that a force of
3000 men, the whole of General FRASIR'S army,
should have so sosn created a famine, is too tidi-
cuLess. Oh ! but then exclaim these brawlers. the
expedition was wrong, e 6 indi It was perfidious,
on our part, to send an army to Egri2t, for the
purpose of wresting that province from a Power
with whom we were at peace. Now to this
charge of bad faith, we answer. that the troops
went to Egypt, not by orders from this coun-
try ; but in consequence of conditional orders
given to Sir Jour DUCIIWORTM j and that, whe-
ther that officer obeyed the spirit of those orders,
and exercised a sound dtscretion upon them, remains
yet to be ascertained. Having stated these tats, we
do not hesitate to assert, thattheabuse laviihedo.s the
Ex-Ministers is in defiance oftandoir, justice, and
propriety. But all this virulence and clamour may
be easily accounted for. The New Parliament will
meet on Monday se'onight, and the same means that
generated the new Ministers, are necessary to their
existence.

The letters by the Mails recently arrived from
Malta and Gibraltar were delivered yesterday.—
They state, that every thing was quiet at the former
place in the beginning of May. About 30 of the
mutineers of Faosean•s regiment had been exe-
cuted, and the greater part of the remainder bad
been sent to Sicily, from whence two British regi.
ments were daily ezpeSed to arrive at Malta.
The Windsor Cattle had got her main-mast shift.
ed, end was expededsooa to sail for Sicily.
The troop in Wallin St Gibraltar were in good
;health when our pccesaks 'rut away. The MIN:11

may's house at Mionleant Hall, when the estimate
of the repairs amounted to no more than !SOL and
that even was already expanded, is the same Mr.
Seutou Bowies who ill at present one of the Lords
of the Treasury, sad of coarse entrusted with the
adminieration of the public money, of which, is that
instance, he showed himself so easeful and atten.
tive a steward. The same person was a Member of
the Finance Committee in the last Parliament, and
attended its meetings till he was compelled to va-
cate his sea., by accepting a place horn the present
Government. It is extraordinary, that during the
whole of Mr. &resets Bootee's attendance at the
Finance Committee, he never once mentioned to
any of its Members, the job which be had done
for Sir H. Mit ost a sr, though the disclosure of it
might have saved a considerable sum annually to
the public. But, indeed, Mr. S. Bovasts.'s nature
will not bear the rude shock of inquiries into a
friend's conduB. He allowed the Committee to
pursue by themselves their investigation of Mr.
ST Eitel affair.

A letter from Malta, dated April 2', says—
" The convoy from k.ngland arrived here two days
since. some of the vessels. on account of blow-
ing weather, could not get out of Gibraltar ; among
them are the f.ittle Jane, and the Henry, Itontnson. '

Our Readers will recollea, that we some time
ago extraaed from the French Papers, a letter from
Genoa, dated May I. stating, that the Seaiforse fri-
Tate had been captured by a sqltadron of ships from
oulon. We are now happy to have it in our
power to stare. positively, that that account is not
true : letters have been received by Lord Coacatio-
wooo, from Capt. STSWART, who commands the
soins, frigate, dated the 9th of May ; at that time
Capt. ST LWA T was cruising t:ff Toulon.
Among the various fabric.ations fs.r the purpose
of lessening the eclat of Lord MILTON'S triumph
in Yorkshire. is a report stating that a Petition is to
be presented against his Lordship's return, by a
number of the Freeholders of Yorkshire, un the
ground that a numb-r of unqualified persons were
admitted to vote for his Lordsaip.
The Wilts Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, coma
mar.ded by Lord Baucs, completed the ten days
duty for which they had assembled at Marlhinniigh
