There has not.been a more gallant naion even in
the British Navy than that ‘mltich took place between
the Windsor castle Parket and the Privateer,
the particulars of Which were given in our Paper of
Thursday Indeed it may be fairly said, that
'there is no branch of his
.Majesty's service to which
more credit, with reference to its extent, has been
ilitached, during the present war, than the packet
service in the Post Wire department.,
The Unity smack, belonging to the Port of Isar-
%yid); and which sailed thence with a. packet on the
Ist instant, we are concerned to state, was
.hilt on
a rock off the,Coast Of. Norway; in the late tempes-
tuous Weather which prevailed there. The Master
was washed ovet board previous to the accident. The
.'crew, were all made prisoners in Norway.
It is somewhat curious, that an Opposition. Print.
'has accused the present Ministers of being willing to
/tatter and truckle to BUONAYARTE, just after they
• have issued a Proclat nat.en,, in answer to his impu-H
►
dent vaunt of blockading England, the pnrpose. of
which is to prevent France and any elf her vassal
States from having any maritime intercourse with
any other country but through the, medium of:
Great Britain; a Proclamation that will' tend more
to render the, Coutinental Powers disgusted with
him than: even any of the glions which have
mediately emanated from himself; 'which, according
to the homely phrase, is saying a boll ward.
We have stated that Mr. BOND WaS induced by
the indifferent state of his health to resign the ()flied
of Jedge Advocate. This Gentleman a&ed, on
this occasion, from such honourable principles as
render him an example to all who occupy situa-
tions of pUblic importance. He d:cl not thick it
proper to retain a situation when he, found
self not in possession of health seificient for a due
execution
,of his duty. The Opposition Priam, who
•so freely consigned the Duke i3t. PORTLAND and
. Lord CASTLEREAGH to sickness and death, are more
careful of the health of Mr. BOND, and will insist
upon it that he.,retires in political disgust.
Some of the Opposition. Writers are not content
with the amusement of political discussions, but em-
ploy themselves in" scatteringpestilence anddeath."
They lately brought the Duke of PORTLAND' to the
bt:ink of the grave, though his Grace was so rash as
to dine every day with his frieeds, at the same mn-
' ineot, and disguised his complaint so well as to
;at),
pear`iii tolerably good health. Lord CA ;11.atte,ion,
too, has been rendered very infirm by. limit Will'
tears; and it is supposed that they will contrive to
spread teirible di-Senses anieng all the rest of the
present Ministry, as long as they continue in
