LORI) YARMOUTIL

This Nobleman, who was lately charged by a French paper
with a breach of his parole of honour, has published a satis-
factory vindication of himself, which, however, has proved
unnecessary, as the same paper, in its next publication, ac-
knowledged its error, and made a proper apology. We shall
therefore quote, out of his Lordship's Letter. only those
passages which refer to other subjects. 'We did not expect.
we must own, to find in the letter of an English Nobleman,
what had never yet, to our knowledge, been attempted by
any one in this country—a.justification of the conduct of
BUONA P ART F., in making English travellers on the Conti.-
, cent prisoners of war ; yet, according to his Lordship, this
measure, so universally reprobated, was one of fair, though
cruel, retaliation. In his own words—" I have always
avowed, both at Verdun and at home, my opinion, that the
detention of the English in 1803, however cruel, by its
being a measure never resorted to on former occasions, was
justified by the seizure of French property and French sub-
jects in British ports, before our Ambassador had ceased to
exercise the functions of his high office at Paris."
His Lordship also attributes the severity of the confine-
ment under which our countrymen labour in France, to a
cause hitherto little noticed amongst us:—" For. several
months I and many others were permitted to reside wherever
we pleased, till the cruel disregard of some English Gentle-'
men to the comforts of their fellow prisoners, occasioned our
being confined in fortresses on their effecting their escape."
His Lordship then concludes by producing the instructions
he received from Mr. Fox in 1806, during the negociations
with France, " in order to refute the charge once advnnced
and now revived, that he had, contrary to his instruction,
produced his Majesty's full powers at a time when no choice
remained but to do so or to break off the negociation." A 9
these instructions, however, entirely relate to the question
of giving up Sicily to the French, we do not see what bear-
ing they can have on the charge made and revived against.
Lord YARMOUTH.

The French Paper, which has accused Lord YA RMOUT
of breaking his parole, made the following amende honor-
able in its next number:—
II) our lust publication we accused Lord Y 4 ftstOPTit of Laving
violated his parole of le:nour. In that we have been guilty of a gross
error. Lord YARMOUTH, after having quitted France upon his pa-
role, and returned with Lord LAUDFItDALE, whmis we have sten in
Paris, obtained his release in order to return to London: We ha,ten,
to repair an involuntary injury, and to pettOrtn an act of justice due
to Lord YARMOUTH. God forbid that we should ever employ the
weapon of falsehood even when we hate to eminend against the
most bitter enemies of France !"—Grneite de France.

On Tuesday, the Board of Trade signified its readiness
to grant licenses, which arc to- continue in force during
eight months, to permit American vessels laden with provi-
sions, to proceed from the United States either to Cadiz or
Lisbon. One of the two lorts, mhst be named in the -li.
