THE SUN.

SOLENT QUIS DIdEITE I ALSUM 4UDEAT ?

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1806.

General MAITLAND arrived at Ceylon on.the 18th
of July.

THE Lord Howe Frigate has arrived at Ports-
mouth from the East Indies, having on boafd Nlar-
quis WELLESLEY and his Suite.

No further intqlligence from the Continept had
reachsed us when this Paper was put to Press.

The tone of the chief Opposition Paper at present
is so grossly personal, that it must tend to excite
disgust in every reader whose mind is .not blinded
by political rancour. Iti'hEt, the language of the
Opposition Writers at this moment is exactly cor-
respendent with that which
,prevailed during the
very worst period of the French Revolution. It is
not enough' that these Writers impugn the measures
of Government, and. exaggerste whatever may tend
to depress the spirit of the Nation ; they coarsely
drag forth the names of persons in office, and
substitute personal scurrility for fair argument.—
But this is not all, for such is the inveterate malice,
of Party, that even the health of Mr. PITT is the sUb-
jeCt of despicable ribaldry, as well as the stimulus to
political hope and venal ambition: Can it be con-
ceived that such a mode of Political Warfare can be
acceptable to the generous charaCter of the British,
People ? Or can it be imagined that A People as dis-
tinguished, for justice as for generosity, will ap-`
prove. of the attempts to prejudge the Minister: as
to what lie has :to say on the opening of the Parlia-
ment ? People will give him a liberal
credit for what he has dope. They will 'col: with
as much candour on the- result of the late unfor-
tunate attempts, of the Combined Powers, as they
did.with hope. and confidence on the Opening of 'a
Campaign 'Which promised to rescue Europe from.
the overwhelming, power of France.—lf Mr. PITT
shall be found to have been the chief mover of the.
Continental Powers against the caring ambition of
France, he will deserve the mere credit, not-
withstanding the unfortenate course of events 3
and the wonder will be that PoWers, threatened
with total ruin by the General Disturber of
Mankind ~' should have so little fores4ight as to
stand in teed of 'foreign instigation. Ent it is a
libel upon the understanding as well as the honour
of those Powers, to suppose that they were not
sufficiently alive to their danger, and resolved to
take all possible means to avert it. The chief ;round
of,lamentation is, that they were not sufficiently
aware of the character of their adversary, whose
cunning is- equal to his ferocity, and who is at all
times ready to, profit by occasion, to hesitate at no
means for the accoinplishtnent of his 'ends, and "to
A
effect by artifice what he cannot obtain by force..sis
Mr. PITT to be responsible for-the enormities of that
common Disturber of the world, or for the conduct of
those who might have given,effeastal aid checking
his career of injustice, but who sufferedlim to cams
mit those outrages which enabled him to proceed
With unexpected rapidity? What then can Mr. PITT

have to fear ?. He-may have much. to :regret. on ac-

. , .
count of the condu& of others, but he has no ground
for self-reproach. He On thy;, cc tr:lrv„ full

reason to expeft the approbnon of his Country for

endeavouring to rescue Europe from i pending- tu spry,
and to give security to every regular Govern 'tient against
theunappeasablerancour of the inostAnibitious Des,
pot the world ever beheld. ' We tii;•!re. fore lbok"for,
ward; ivithout dismay, because we are sure that the
Great Minister :who stood,firmly ;.tanst .t he conta,
gion of French principles, when some of the most
distinguished chargters in this Country had caught
the infeCtion; and whose wisdom and fortitude saved
this CountrY in the hour of :pea will be able to
secure its s3fety, its in'depentl9PcP; and its honour,.

There is one principle which the Opposition
'Writers and Speakers have adopted, from which
_
they have never in a single instanee .deviated, and
that is, to Make Mr. PITT responsible for every Mis
'fortune, even fOr those which happen; to our Allies,
over, whose: operations he has no controul, 'and to
allow. him. no credit for those brilliant successes
Whi6hilave been obtained uißler his innuediate,dl:.
reCtion. certainly, is a very convenient mode
of arguing for. those who are determined always to
find fault but it is.:not very likely to make any im-
pression Upon the Public.. We have indeed been
told, that all the merit of our Naval Viaories, ex-
cept that which belongs.to our gallant Officers and
Seamen, is to.be attributed solely to the Board of Ad-
miralty, and that the other branches ofAdwinistratiou

are not entitled to any share of praise. We shall not,
we are Sure, be Suspecaed of wishing in any. degtce.
,
to derogate from : the high praise which is due.,
to the present /,Admiraltys.Bbard.., for • its constant
and almost unparalleled exertions. The Noble
Lord at the head, and the other Members, of
that Board, are entitled to, and the
'gratitude and the confidence of their Country. It is
li-oweVer' :a little singular to' find the OppOSition
- • •
'Writers so very anxious to confine all the praise to that
branch' of Government. The illiberal, the personal at-
.tacks which were made by them upon the venerable
First Lord" of the Admiralty, when he was appointed
to that high Situation, - cannot be forgotten. It was
more than insinuated that his advanced age would
disqualify him for performing the arduous duties of
;his Office ; and the Public were repeatedls-. told;
,
and with the utmost confidence, that it was not in-
tended that his Lordship should continue in the Of-
fice—that he was merely appointed to fill up the
vacancy for a tnne, &c. Such was the lan-
guage of those who now represent the Admiralty
as the only efficient part'of the Administration
But praise oT censure, when proceeding not from
honest judgment, but from such obvious party,.ma-
lignity; can only excite -contempt er.disgust.

All suitable pi cparations are rnade

trance, she missed stays and took the ground this side,
Mount Batten, When the tide flo*ed, it was thought
she would ,swing off, but she stock fast, arid' took

:CHATHAM, J. s.—the Pitl977 is warped at
length into Gillingham Reach : several attempts ha y°
been made before to -effect this, but the wind con-
thiUed sO-rOtigh and contrary that they hue, till
now, proved unsuccessful. She is completely clis-7
mantled, and many of her men drafted off already.
The riggers gave attendance to-day in order to get
her up opposite the Dock-yard, but the wind,
usual, was too high. Curiosity has led many here
to see- her ; but when she gets- to Chathatu most
probably the spectators will be .More numerous,
Two -Mooring Lighters were put out of the third
dock yesterday, and the Ilde will be taken 41 for a
thorough repair to=morrow or next day, •

The Hope, DENTON, with oats, bacon, &c. sailed
out of Scarborough, on Thursday week, about 10
A. M. for London, the -s.s itxl N. and consequently;
as sea-faring men term it, dead upon the coast,:;
and blowing at the' same time a violent gale, She
had •no sooner set sail; than one of her Owners im-
Mediately took his horse, and rode to Flamborotigh
head, antrittst arrived in time to witness, not only
the loss of hig Vegsel, but of every soul on board of
her. There were 100 people assembled on the cliff,
and, yet . there 'was 'no possibility of reseue,_ that
part of the cliff I\hich immediately faced the suf.
ferers presenting a perpendicular rock 80 yards high,
and it being besides about half good, the waves ra-,
•ed with violence, which after throwing the vessel
on a rock,'in a moment dashed her into a thousand
pieces"; .she no sooner struck than she disappeared.
Two of. the people got upon the bowsprit, and strug-
gled against the cold, and the waves which broke
over them, for a considerable time, beckoning with
their hands for assistance, but in vain. Besides her
crew, consisting of the Captain, tour men, and a
boy, she had two passengers, Capt. Ward, and one
Wilson, a Sailor. Neither ship nor any part of
the cargo (worth altogether 30001.) was insured.
The Que,bc Packet, BENNETT, of Hull, from-Lon-
don, in ballast, ~was driven ashore near Theddle-
thorpe, on the Lincolnshire Coast; in the night of
Sunday se'nuight. The Vessel had lost her anchors
and cables and mizen mast; but received little other
injury, and was expeded to be got off the ensuing
spring tide. •
Pressing orders have been received at Portsmouth
to get'stich Frigates and smaller Vessels as are under
repair, ready for sea with all possible expedition.

THE OPERA. —GRASSIN I, who has been some
time much indisposed, was able to return to her
duty last night in the Opera of Gl' Orazzi e Curazzi;
and exerted herself with admired effed. There was
mach beauty and expression in her tiding, and thd
airs were given with interesting pathos. The Au=
dience welcomed her return with most flattering
zeal. BR AII AM sung with great skill. The whole
closed with the favourite Ballet of La Kite
Sauvage.
