but some of my friends assured me that nothing
could be more marked than the difference between

they observed, have had few opportunities of keying

which at once convince) you that it proceeds from
un insigiiitirant person—a decided, nervous tone,
which cons deep into the ear. His pronunciation
is wretched— a mixture of provincial English, with
undignified Scotch, altogether snappish and of-
fensive ; and which would be quite sufficient to
reciter the elocution of a more ordinary man utterly
disgusting; but the flow of Isis eloquence is so
overpowerfully rapid, so unweariedly energetic, so
entirely unlike every other man's mode of speaking,
that tire pronunciation of the particular words is
quite hot to one's view in the midst of that conti-
nual effort which is required, in order to make the
understanding, even the ear of the listener, keep
pace with the glowing velocity of the declamation.

pastoral the greater will he you: admiration.
It is impossible to conceive the r xistence of a more
fertile, teeming iutellrct. The flood of las illustra-
tion seems to be at all times rioting up to the seiv
brim—yet he commands and restrains it with eq al
strength and skill ; or, if it does escape him fur a
moment, it spreads such a richness all around, iloit
it is impossible to find fault with its 'stigma-
-wince: Surely never was such a luxuriant • sepia

to him as a barrister; for it excited universal
utteotion to him whenever he made soy appearance

CALCUTTA, NOVESIISEX 10.

Our intelligence from the interior of ludia
speaks favourably of the general trunquillity of the
country, and the satisfaction of the people at liv-
ing under a Government whose ain► us well as
whose interest it fortunately ir to preserve to them
the ble►sings of abundance, security, and peace.
There are found here and there, however, refractory
brigand-, wl►o draw around themselves a set of des-
perate adventurers, and seek, in resistance to esta-
blished authorities, and in plunder of the peace-
able and industrious part of the population, that
gain which neither their virtues nor their talents
would procure fur them in a regular and well-or-
dered community. _ .

The Beitool Valley and the whole of the Nag-
pore country have been principally the scene of
these late revolts, and we have given the details of
the operations against the revolters there, as they
have occurred front tune to time. Tie most stub.
burn and courageous of the enemies with whom our
troops have had to contend, were Arabs and
Gounds, and among the slain the first hart, been
always the most numerous, as being constantly
found in the hottest of the light.
Lieutenant Cruikshank particularly distin-
guished himself in these contests, and Lieutenant
Lane, of the 7iii cavalry, has been mu closely en-
gaged as to have had two horses shut under hint
within the last two months, besides being wounded
himself. By their small detachment, a march of
forty miles was made, and two battles fought with-
in the space of ‘26 hour., and the troops bore all
with firmness and cheerfulness, though the roads
over whirl► they marched were unusually bad, and
they tasted no food till the close of their gallant
labours. These roads in the territory. of Nagpore
are vu bad, that it is said only six camelv survived
out of 36 that were employed for a veil limited
periorl near the bank of Nurbudila.

Major Bowen, of the Madras army, has also
distinguished Himself in several gallant actions
with these Guam's and Arabs, and particulaily io
an affair against Boordace, where the rising of the
strewn in some nullalis having cut A. Ilk expected
reinforcements, he bravely dashed on with only 100
infantry, and drove live times that number out of
the town before him, 300 of whom were afterwards
cut up by the cavalry.
Major Wilson has also earned his portion of mi-
litary reputation, by the taking of Pawnee, another
'troop; post, seated oil the banks of a liver, about
twelity4ive mules to the S.E. of Nagporr. The
details of this gallant storm are such as reflect the
highest credit on the courage and skill of those en-
gaged. The Mogul Loose, who are attached to
Major Wilson's party, believed also with great
bravery, and evinced what the conduct of Indian
troops has always so conspicnously slrewil, that
good leaders and brave chieftains are almost all
that are Welding to make di•ciphued soldiets awl
coinageous men.

THE BRITT S H PRES S .

LONDON,
SATURDAY. APRIL 10, 1819.

Calcutta Papers have arrived from winch we in-
sert some extracts. In them it will be seen. that
several parts of the interior of India are still dis-
turbed by the active hostility of parties of free-
booters, sufficiently large to give employment to
some of our regiments. But after the miracles of
valour emulously displayed during the late cunt-
paigits by the British and native troops, in dis-
persing armies of tried courage and surprising mag-
nitude, it would be impossible to look upon these
annoy reninan's of the enemy's forces ea caloilitted
eithei by their 'Ambers or the character of their
commanders to excite any serious apprehensions of
immediate danger. Indeed, these partial manifes-
tations of inquietude and hostility must be expect-
ed at the close of an intestine war, and particularly
of one like that just terminated, unparalleled for
extent and activity. But the sound of arms in ally
part of India ought to be at all times an object of
alarm in tide country. We are fond of flattering
ourselves that the establishment of British law, and
the extension of British authority its Hindustan, are
synoilimous siith the triumph of justice and pros-
perity. But without here entering into a ditquisi-
Lion on national prejodices, and ascertaining bow
fir the abrogation of a system of laws familiar to a
people's minds, soil suited to their religion, leibits,
and manners, especially if effected by the looser of
the sword, may be regarded by the conquered na.
lion as an act of t 3 runny, and induce them to ab.
her uny other code prescribed iii the place of it, we
may at least conclude that the li itish laws have nut
as yet b.en sufficietitly long e,tablisliid in India to
create a profound veneraliou fur them in the minds
of the iodises. in NO, the change caused by the

which enables troops to encounter au ellenly, is
capable of being created, and is found, from the
excellence of their discipline, to exist in u high
degree ill the native troops employed in the Coin-
puity's service; but this quality 110 where shone
with snore !minima lustre than in several corps of

ing danger, niuy be spread to any talent among
the great body of the people, and, united with the
desperation of poverty, and the ideas of national
injury, must, if not speedily checked, become
highly dangerous to our Indian empi.e. The
vigorous policy hitherto displayed by the Marquis of

which be deprived the hostile Princes of the ordi-
nary means of future hostilities, induces a ready
coiltitiri:ce in his future measures. Tire predattny

DRUM' ELS, APRIL 3.

All the Jowl's!' have spoken of the conspiracy
which was to break out at Brussels in the month of
November, lust yes,: foreign Journals even gave
details on the subject, whirl► were generally un-
known here. A 111. Lewis Bovh..E, a Frenchman,
now ■ vinegar distiller at Brussels, has addresse.l a
memorial to the Members of the flight Court of
Justice of South Bralmist, to prove that lie had no
share 'in the plot. This memorial, of seven pages
4►o. throw. some li►;ht iiitots what hos hitherto been
obscure iii this plot ; but, however, it reveals only
some imperfect detail..

It is to be hoped that the public tbscustion of
this bcfore the Court of A-sizes %till fully
clear up a plot which was as dating as it was ill
conceit/ed. Awaiting the moment, which appeirs
not to he distant, we quote some paysages of the
Alettiorial of ..l.

After a ',loot exordium, expressing his astonish-
ment at king implicated in a plot which he dis-
covered to the Nlagistrates the moment lie was in-
formed of its existence, he proceeds:—" Oil the
3,1 of N:ivember, about right to the morning, one
Adolphe Poutllot übas Lateroise, formerly a French
officer, came to my house, and told me that a
plot was in agitation to seize 'the Emperor of
Russia in his journey, to force his 111rjesty to
sign an Address to the French, to :Teal Na-
poleon, to proclaim the son of Napoleon Empe-
ror, and the Archduchess Maria Louisa Regent,
awl to kill his Majesty the Emperor A lexalider
if he refused to accede to this demand. Asto-
nished, terrified," this recital adds, "he urged M.
Pouillot to disclose these circumstances to the
Police." :11. Buchoz then gives an account of his
deposirion., day by day, till the lOtii November.
‘Ve see that on the 4th M. Poutllot gave to
u Magistrate u detailed account of all that lie had
discovered, and produced the original (in the hand-
writing of a M. Piget) of a proclamation, which his
Majesty the Emperor of Russia was to ha com-
pelled to sign. On the 7th the conspirators were to
purchase at Brussels arms, for the sum of 1,500
francs; that on the 8:1,, at 11 o'clock at night,
Pouillut informed hint " that Piget had set out at
nine o'clitc k for Bossut, there to receive the oath of
200 smulNlers, who 'etpected him there, and whom
he was to bring hack to the environs of Brussels;
that all these men were armed and mounted, and
that part of them had belonged to the red lancers
of the ttlil Guard. I immediately hastened,"
says M. litichoz. " to commuoicate these details to
the magistrates."

The 51inisterial Prints do not relish our com-
ments upon their loyal exertions to mislead the
public by delusive and coloured accounts of our
financial prosperity. They are all " ;;lumps," who
will not view it through their false medium, and
whose cold hearts are not warmed by the bright
sunshine of their br:lliant fancy. We yesterday
mated, in the figures of the financial tables laid
before the [louse of Continuos, that, notwithstanding
a deficiency in the produce of the Consolidated Fund
tot the hist quarter, there is au excess in the total
produce of the public revenue for the whole
year, abuse that of the receding. This, how.
ever, a i!l not satisfy our friends of the Treasury.
It is u " glu miry" siew of our situation that con-
fines itself to fact,. Where these are deficient, a
truly htyal mail will always supply the defect
from fancy. Ile should say in the spirit and lan-
guage of The (*wirier, if we 11.111 now " that pro.
ductive tax," the income Itlll, how much greater
would be the produce of the Jerome fur the last year;
and again, lithe charge on the produce of the Con-
solidated Fund last year was nut greater than that of
the preceding year, only think how snuck richer we
shoul.l be ! This is solid and substantial reasoning
with a vengeance.—" Oh !" says little Skirmish,
in the farce, " if I could hold the pen as I hold the
bottle, what a rattling, roaring, mood hand I should
write."

The preliminary ►teps to an early discussion of
the Catholic Question have already been taken in
both Houses of Parliament, under circumstances,
too, which give to that subject a more than ordi-
nary interest. It is impossible to imagine • more
delightful object of contemplation in the moral
world, than to witness the extinction of those ua-
!Hippy feuds who li uteri opted the social harmony
of a people bound by every principle of nature to
support and cherish each other, to watch the dia.
pennon of prejudices which for a long course of
time had been mistaken for policy and wisdom,
unit to see a sense of patriotism at length coon-

tenet the motives of a mein and selfish mono.
Tardy. Such was the prospect recently prrarritect to
our view by the Protestant Meetings held in Did,.
liii, and other cities and towns of Ireland, to Pet,.
tion Parliament in behalf of the Roman Catholic• ,
and although we are by no means so sanguine as t,.
imagine that the Petitions then prepared expressed
the unanimous opinion of the Protestants of Ireboat
(a supposition opposed to the very principles of hci.
man nature), yet it is impossible not to iwrceite
such an occurrence a satisfactory proof that
spirit of monopoly in that country has lost no iti.
considerable portion of its pernicious influence.
Petitions, in the mean time, have also been pre-
sented to both Houses from the Roman Catholic
Nobility and Gentry of Ireland, and also from the
same class of persons in England, from the flow.
•RDS 91111 the TALBOT', and many others, slice.-
names, like these, might almost be taken as lush!,
remembrancers of our national glory, and are e
once the reproach of their sufferings and the
ranee of their loyalty. The debate nit this sik-rt
will probably take place in the House of Com-
mons oa the 30th of this month, and in the !Lou.
of Lords on or soon after the 4th of May.
In the consideration of this question, it is irr•

and when consequently every representation inu,t

duets the testimony of persons now living, who
have daily and hourly experience of the condoct
and sentiments of their Roman Catholic country-
men, and who in the monopoly prepared fir them
I,Y the law, would find an interest in testifying to
the disadvantage or those who seek a participation
in offices and dikiiities. This testimony, too, acquires
the highest importance from the characters 'and
principles of those who give it. They are Noble-
men and Statesmen—men who have differed on
other subjects of policy, but whose equal etk-
rience leads them in the honest sesschilfter truth
to a sithilur result on this important question.
They are possessed of the largest landed pro-
perties in Ireland, and their residence in that
country, while it offers an assurance of their ac-
curate s.durces of information upon this subjec:,
furnishes the most certain proof of their own sin-
cerity in the opinions they profess. They stale
their lives and property upon the result ; and when
such men come before Parliainent, add in the face
of the empire offer their free, disinterested, and
unsuspected testimony on behulf of their Roma',
Catholic countrymen, (*fiends and relatives, thii..

nation exult in the expansion of mind which chs-
tinguislies the present age, can it be supposed that
they alone look back with feelings of respect .iiitt

centuries ?

IVhatever remarks we have made on this subj t,
with regard to Ireland, apply a fortiori to the
question as it relates to this country. In Efig!awl
the Catholics bear but a small proportion to the
great body of the people ; they are utinoticed as 4
body in the mass of our society--but what VOll/1111
does not this very circumstance Ppeuk iu thy,'

There can be no political contest where there is not
at least an approach to an equality of
What then can the Protestants fear Ii ton the
Roman Catholics in political power ? And to sup-
pose that the former could, in the present en-
lightened age, be actuated by a spirit of reli,4i
persecution, would be a libel upon our charaet.
our Government, and our Church. Iti behalf
the Protestants of England we protest against tn.•
idea of a religious persecution ; the exclusion
the Roman Catholics is grounded upon ptilitir,t
motives merely; but we fear unless the advocate+
of tine exclusion 'thew some better reasons for bor.
porting it thati the argument of their own spinhensions, they will gain but little by this change nt
their position ; for religious bigotry proves only a
weakness of judgment, which only excites pity or
contempt, while a spirit of political monopoly ar-
gues a grovelling selfishness of mind, with a con-
siderable share of dishonesty.
But why should the Roman Catholics be suh,
jetted to disabilities from which the Pisseuter•,

of England and of Rome present a much closer

an active hostility on the port of the Roman Ca-
tholics, because the sectarians of which we have
spoken are non Is more active in diminishing our
I;umbers than the spiritual votaries of the Papal
