LONDON, NOVEMBER 27, ISol.

DISPATCHES lvere received late on Wednesday
evening at Lard Hawkesbury's Office from Mar-
quis CORNALLIG at Paris. By these it appears
that every thing is going on there in the most satis-
faaory manner. The British Plenipotentiary, with
his Suite, is to be at Amiens to-morrow.

SOME- of the Editors of the Newspapers who
were heretofore the loudest in Mr. PITT'S praise,
have, as we might have exile led from the charac-
ters of their ConduaorS, turned their backs upon
him now that he is out of Office, and are as viru-
lent in abuse, as they were formerly fulsome in
panegyric. Those among them who approved of
the War, and also approve of the Peace, find it dif-
ficult to invent a decent vehicle for their scurrility.
They appear, by their Writings, as if they thought
the must acceptable service they can render the
present Minister is, the most violent and malicious
censure of his Predecessor. If any circumstance,
however, should (leprive Mr. ADDINGTON Of his
Office, with it he would lose the adulation of these
Men—but adulation would not be discontinued—
it would folloW to the Treasury, whoever might be
appointed to its head.
Those who approved of the War, and who dis-
approve of any Peace which could he made with
Bois-AFAR-1-E, accuse every'Man of Inconsistency,
who having been an Advocate for the. War,. is a
friend to the Peace which has been concluded. It-
is a. most strange and perverse ;notion of Consist-
ency
to suppose, that those who have, under cer-
tain circumstances, been Advocates for War, must,
to be consistent, under', circumstances totally dif-
ferent, be still eager for the prosecution of it—
Yet to this extent do some of these persons appear
to push -their extravagant opinions--'But Mr. PITT
attictzlarly, in supporting the Peace, is accused
of the grossest inconsistency, and the Speech which
he delivered in the House Of Commons, on the 3d
of February, rBOO, stating his reasons for not then
treating with the 1:1-11 .EF CONSUL, is referred to as
the most decisive proof of the Inconsistency with
which he- is charged. From that Speech we have
seen many Extraas, and to the whole of that Speech
we appeal, as the best Answer to all the Comments
which have been made upon Mr. PITT'S condua.—
If 'he had then thought that it would have been
contrary to the Interests of this Country to have
made Peace with BONAPARTE, even under any cir-
cumstances, would it have precluded him, as an
honest Man, from changing that opinion if he saw
grounds for it ? But did he then think, that
sender no circumstances, we ,ought to treat with
BONAPARTE ? Nay, did he not see the possibility of
our Interest and. our Policy leading us to make Peace
with him ? And did he not refer, as it were, almost
to 'the very circumstances-under which it has since
been concluded ?
," What then," says Mr. PiTT,
in the Speech alluded to, " is the inference I draw
" from all that I have now stated ? Is it, that 'we
" will in no case treat with BONAPARTE ?' I say
" no such thing But I say, as has been said in the
" Answer returned to the French Note, that 'we
" ought to wait for Exprience, and the/ Evidence of
" Fa/?s, before we are convinced that such a Treaty
" is admissible. The'erreumstances I have mention-
" ed would well justify us if we should-be slow in
." being convinced ; but on a question of Peace and
" War, every thing depends upon degree, and upon
" comparison. If, on the one hand, there should
" be an appearance that the Policy of France is at
" length guided by different maxims from -those
" which have hitherto prevailed; if we should.
-" hereafter see signs of stability in the Govern-
" ment which are not now to be traced ; if the
" progress of the Allied Army, should not call forth
" such a spirit in France as to make it probable
" 'that the Aft of the Country destroy
the ,System now prevailing ; if the danger, the
" difficulty, the risk of continuing the Contest
should increase, while the hope of complete niti.
" mate success should be diminished ; all these in

" their due place are considerations which, with
myself, arid (1 can answer for it)' with every one
" of my Colleagues, will have their just weight.
t at present these considerations all .operate
" one way ; at present there is nothing flom which
" we can presage .so favourable a change :of dispo-
" sition in the French Councils. There. is the
" greatest reason to rely on powerful co-operation
" from our Allies ; there are the strongest marks
" of a disposition, in the Interior of France, to
" aaive resistance against this new Tyranny ;- and
" there is every ground to believe, on reviewing
" our situation and that of the Enemy, that if we
" are ultimately disappointed of that complete suc-
" cess which we are at preSent entitled to hope,
" the continuance of the Contest, instead of making
" our situation comparatively worse, will have made
" it comparatively better."

Such were the sentiments of Mr. PITT, on the
3d of February, 1800, and this Extraa is a part pf
that Speech, which has been partially quoted, as a
proof of his glaring Inconsistency in approving the
Peace with BONAPARTE.—Whether there be really
Inconsistency in such conduCt, we have only to ask
ourselves these question 6 :—Do we not noiw see 4715
of stability in the Government of France, which
were not then to be traced ?—Has the progress of
the Allied Army called forth a spirit of resistance to
the System which, then prevailed P—Had not the
danger, the difficulty, and the risk of continuing the
Contest increased, and the hope of complete. ultimate
Success been diminished ?—And, lastly, if stye were
disappointed of complete ultimate success, have pure
not, by the'continuance of the Contest, instead of ren-
dering our situation comparati,vely worse, rendered it
comparative& better, by the recovery of Egypt ?

But can Mr. PITT, it -is asked, be really an Ad-
vocate for Peace .vith BozikiAßTE ? Mr. PITT,
who has charaaerised him as the . Child and
Champion of jaeohirtism=who, it is-said, has so
often vilified him—who, ip thiS very speech,
described him as guilty of the most atrocious aas !
—Mr. PITT, we believe, has not so loosely learnt.
the principles of Morality as to think that success
constitutes Virtue, or failure, Guilt. Although
. .
when at Peace, he may not think it decent to make
any reflection upon the conduCt of BONAPARTE, We
do not see why he should have changed any one
'opinion he ever held upon that subjcd, nor do we
believe that the most partial friend the Chief Con-
sul has in the world, would he ready to justify
every step by which he attained his present.power.
Jff
But we do not ree the security of Peace upon
the character or isposiiion of BONAPARTE, though
we hope we may rest that security in some degree
on his interest in maintaining it. We rely for that
security, to what we trust will not fail us 'while
the affairs of the Nation are in the hands of the
present Ministers—to our own vigilance and pre..
caution.

Many of those who reproach Mr. Pirr with
having used harsh terms towards BONAPARTE, while
we were at War with him, certainly at that, time
spoke of him with the highest respell and venera-
,:ion, an.l never more, than when his successes ap.
reared to affea the interests of their own Country.
They have not spoken quite so respeAlfully of him
since he has made Peace with us ; if any circum-
,
stance should again involve us in War, he may
again become their idol—Whether - the conduit of
Mr. PITT in this resped, or of those to whom we
allude, is the most natural, and most congenial with
British feeling, we leave it to every candid man to.
determine. All we shall say upon the subjea is,
that we hope and trust it will ever be in the heart.
and charaaer of an Englishman, to reflea, if he see
cause, upon his Enemy, as an Enemy—not to praise
and flatter him 'while an Enemy, and caluMniate
him when a Friend. .

The journal de Paris asserts," That Count VON
'MUNSTER was going to Petersburgh, as Minister of
the KING of ENGLAND, in his quality of ELECTOR
of HANov ER. The objet of his Mission is to ask

one of the GRAND DUTCHESSES, Sister of the Em-
FEROR Of RUSSIA ; and as tins Prince, is to reside in,
and govern the Electorate of Hanover, it was thought
proper that this Mission should be entrusted to a
Hanoverian Nobleman."
