executed with vigour ;—because, resolutely fo

decessors, and steadily pursuing others judiciously:
adopted by themselves,: they have enforcedri*peft

not setting up as their panegyrists; let an observing
and discerning People judge for themselves.

Thus acing, how could' such a Government fail
to be the objet of unceasing slander and calumny
to such a Paper as the Morning Chronicle ? What
one individual, high in the public estimation (and
thank God many there are), what one measure
calculated to afford us security at home or suc-
cess abroad, has it .ever ceased to vilify ? To
whom, but to the Enemies of Great Britain, has it
ever manifested any partiality ? When has it ever
refrained, or when will it ever refrain from holding
out encouragement to her foes, and discouragement
to her supporters ? Had we leisure to draw up an
ahstraa of all the mischievous do&rines, the un-
blushing falsehoods, the undisguised Jacobinism,
the calumnies, the lies, and the knavish consistency
of that Paper for the last nine years, or even for the
last two months, we should present a piEture to the
Public and to Posterity, which the former would
look at with indignation, and the latter would con-
template with astonishment, as having been tole-
rated at a time when Englishmen had any public
feelings, and Laws had any energy.
We have said, that towards those who hold the ex-
treme opinions we entertain very different sentiments.
Undoubtedly there may be, and are those who think
that we ought not to negotiate at all, or if we do,
that no concession whatever, on our part, 'ought to
be made. On such opinions we have never com-
mented, because however we totally dissent from
them, we cannot help respeaing the motive and the
feelings to which they are to be traced. From such
men we only expert equal candour. The terms on
which the Negotiation has hitherto been concluded
are as yet, and highly to the credit of Administra-
tion, a profound secret. If we have ever made uie of
the word sacrifices, which might be made towards the
attainment of so desirable an objet we are well
persuaded that the. Public could never suspea us of
meaning any that were not only not derogatory to
our honour, but such as were positively calculated
to secure tile permanence of that blessing, when
once attained. We look forward to Peace with
hope, or to the other alternative with confidence ;
the more so, as we are not without sufficient pledges
that a Government which has never yet been elated
by Prosperity, will, under increasing difficulties,
never fail in those decisive exertions which a spirited
laccoluc a great
and flourishing Empire.

Br the Ship Martin, which has arrived at Fal-
mouth in eight days from St. Sebastian, we receive
an account of a quarrel having taken place in the
Province of Valentin, between the French and Spa-
nish Troops, in which the former are said to have
had eighty men killed. if this intelligence he car;
rea, its Consequences may be ultimately of great
importance.
