-TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We should be happy in obliging our Comsponileitt, ACsam-
lry
jubire, by inserting his intelligent and well written
i.etter, but as it is by no means likely that Any new measures
will be adopted in consequence a( the suggestions pro-
posed by the person to Whom it is 3J:tressed, we conceive
that it will bl better to lei maters Proceed in their old
' proper course, rather than tit :rb it by unscasonable dis-
cussions. .

THE SUN.'

SOL/S4 QUIS DICIRL PALSUM AVDSAZ

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY; JUNE 22, 1808•

. A Mail from Gottenburgh arrived last night, but
its contents are extremely uninteresting. Coloud
MURRAY had arrived with. Dispatche., from Eng-
land, previous to the sailing of the Packet, and Sir
Jou Mootta, it is said, immediately set out for
Stockholm, to consult with his Swedish Majesty.

SOME of the Papers ,in opposition to Government
have 'endeavoured, from the eficumstance of the
Report of the Finance Committee not haring been
laid before the House of Commons, to throw out ia•
sinuations of a dark and mystprious nature, though,
at the same time, they confess they are uoae"
quainted with the causes which have hitherto del3led
the presenting of the 'Report. This mode of pro-
ceeding, on the parrof the Opposition Writers, ii twt
candii, but it is in perfea union with their gene'
ral pritCtice: Against whom the in-iunaf;,es 111
Papers alindcd to arc direEted, wedoi;ot i.now ;
we know that the Committee is computer/of Imffil
resphilable Ntembers from both sides of the House'
and that the Chairmen is a Gentleman, descree,ilY
possessed of the confidenc.lof all parties. There, Call
therefore be no doubt that such a Committee will
faithfully and honourably dis:tharge its dotie,;• jIJC
subjeas submitted to the consideration of the Cum'
mittee Were of a most extensive and complicate,'
nature, and in the investigation of such subjeJs it
is by no means surprising that differences of opiniQo
should arise; but these 'differences of opinion bY
ito
means justify such illiberal insinuations as those to
which we have alluded.
