Lord Lieutenant, to consider of the best means of
assisting His Majesty's regulailiforces, • in case any
Enemy should land on our Coast, was most respeCt:.
ably attended. General 1-IoLsE and Gen. WHYTE
Were both present. The most effectual methods.of
driving the live stock,:should the Enemy carry his
threats into execution, were discussed, and resolved
oa ; but. the removal of the dead stock, we under-
stand, was deemed impraaicable, and the idea. in
'consequence abandoned.

Colonel VANstrTART has appointed Reading as

From an indirea confession, of the Jacobin Chro-
nicle, ,it appears that all the scurrilous attacks it
makes 'Upon Ministers are merely calculated to vex
and render them indignant ; that is, if we understand
the meaning-of the word inaVnatior, to, excite their
• contempt, as well as resentment against produClions
,that. at. this critical period, must incur the reproba-
tion of the whole Country. MaleivOlent spirits are
gederally self-tormenters,' and in, the.ardour with
which they endeavour, to throw obloquy, *upon the
virtuous, defeat themselves by -fAliacy' and'rnis-re.
presentation. The charge .thatc Ministers have
uniformly opposed all Inquiry, falls under this de.
scription, -since, on the contrary.; it is obvious to
every man who has read the Daily Prints, that
they have,ever courted an open discussion "of those
measures which Opposition stamped as. objeCtiOn..
'able; that they have as successfully refuted those
:Objectlions
_to the entire -satisfaCtion of the Emti
hire at large ; have amply justified their condo.l in
every instance,
,and left it to Parliament to-deter-
mine whether Motions fdr formal inpity should
be adopted ; they • are not Ministers, therefore,
who have obstruCled such investigations, for,
those they could not have prevented, had not the
Senate, from a conviCtion of their integrity, and a
just confidence in their laudable exertion's, resisted
such frivolous propositions. The French (says this
Journalist) have•ever adfaied to deny the intention
of rnvading this Country. :The French, we assert,
have 'affected the threatening tone of invading, us
from the commencement of hostilities to the present
day, and, without adducing proofs too numerous
fOr quotation, leave it to ourßeaders to determine.
which of these positions deserve to be credited.—
We shall only add, that every praise is'due to Go-
vernment, for carrying an assault to our Enemy's
shores, rather than being content with such arrange-
ments as, however vigorous', must still layus 'open
to' attack,. and leave us, at best; but in a defensive
situation ; it is not 'after the example of France,
that. ritons, cover
.themselves 'with glory.- While
we thus *stow applause .upon"men, it is for the
noble measures of which. they are tbs,authors
;--
our expressions being too feeble for just panegyric,
;the tribute of personal encomium is' "only eltorted,
from us when calumny and detra,aion are vented
against
_tile most resplendent.charaCters that have
ever illuminated our political horizon. ,
