To assert, then, that the Foxtres exercise a tyranni-
cal '.:lfiueoce over the public Press,because the Editor
of a particular print may hare grown too rich or too
lazy to write, or feels no necessity to discuss public
inaasures to the same extent as formerly, is a carious
instance of Csttrier logic. It furnisluts also a cu-
rious instance of Courier consistency. Nut many
days ago, The Courser asserted, that Mr. AD•IR,
now at Vienoa, was the Author of the 1101 tales
in The Morning Chronicle; meaning those articles on
which that Paper exercised the privilege „to dis-
cuss, animadvert, and censure ; to irritate, itsflanie,
and embroil." Now, if this assertion be founded
in fa&, and if, when the brains are out, it be natural
for the man to die, it is not very consistent in The
Courier, to attribute to the tyranny of the Foci-cis,
an effect which it had before traced to a natural
and adequate cause. It is with reluctance we have
introduced, so often, the name of that respeSable
Print, The Alorning Chronicle. It is able to speak
for itself ; we come forward only in the common
cause. We repeat. them that the attack of 7Ge
Cerfria, is the effusion of envy, disappointment, and
conscious iateriority. We originally announced
the commencement of the siegociation i we, have
continued to announce the Infant and deperturt of
Messengers with aspatches, as they took place;
the progress of the argociatiat, and the poiat of
difficulty respecting Sicily, which Las recently
arisen. If there are people who deny the existence
of a negoeiation, and represent the arrival and de-
parture of Messengers, as the fißions of the Stock
Exchange. it is too hard, surely, to consider their
want of faith our ignorance. If some men are
blind. or shut their eyes, it is too much for them
to assert that others do not see, and that all the
world is involved in darkness.
