SOLES QUIS DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,

'.VZDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 180.

Last night Paris Papers, to the 25th ihst. artived,
but they still leave us in the dark respefting the
terms of the Treaty ; we find, however, that the
French are making preparations for evacuating Vl-
enna • and Lower Austria. There is a considerable
degree of confusion in these Papers respeating
the time BUONAPARTE was to leave Schoenbrutin,
and the route he intended to take. Ti ere is
one passage in an article from Vienna, which
appears to us rather strange, and in -some degree to
countenance the report' which has been circulated
espeeling BUONAPARTE'S illness. The article to
which we allude states, that the number of Parades
have been limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays, and
adds, that on the 12th BUONAPARTE gave an audi-
ence to his Marshals, and had a tong conversation
then. It seems strange that the mere circum-
stance of his talking to his General Officers should
be deemed worthy of such particular notice.

The recent changes which have taken place in
the Administration have bad a very unfortunate
etTea upon the temper of the Oppositidn Writers,
and the anger of these Gentlemen is increased be
the difficulty they find in discovering any plausible
ground of attack. Personal abuse, however, is al-
ways easy, and numbers of persons will perpetually
be found, to whose tastes and understanding coarse
per,onality is better suited than candid investigation
and sound argument. The plain 146-t is', that every
Administration, and every individual composing it,
must expea the daily abuse of the Opposition
Writers, until their own triends are invested with
the Government of the
,Country. Every Admini-
stration must be weak and imbecile that is not.
composed of their own friends. When Mr. PITT
was called to the Government in 1804, the same
charges, in the very same words, were preferred
against the Administration which he then formed.
When Lord BARHAM was appointed First Lord of
the Admiralty, it was boldly asserted that he was
incompetent, from his age, for the duties of his
situation, and yet his Naval Administration was the
most glorious this Cuuntri ever saw. •In the short
space of four months we obtained three great naval
viatot ies, and nearly annihilated the navy of France.
But the great crime of some of the present Mini-
sters is, that they are too young ; and the very same
persons who thought that Lord HENRY PETTY was
old enough to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, are
quite convinced that Lord PALNIERSTON is too.young
to be Secretary at War ! Such is the consistency of
the opponents of Government, and such the diffi-
culty they find in obtaining materials for censure.

The Peace, however, between Austria and France
has afforded something like a new ground of decla-
mation : we are told that all our exertions have
been unavailing, and we are asked whether Austria
and Spain are not in the same situation that they
would have been it not a man had left England ?
We are ready to admit that the Expedition to Wal-
cheren did not succeed to the extent that was
hoped; but it by no means follows that it produced
no effel upon the affairs of the Continent ; we think
it did produce a material effea. We know that at
the commencement of the War between Austria
and France, BuoN APA HIT threatened toannibilate the
Austrian Empire. The Moniteur denounced destruc-
tion to the'', ince' sof the House of Lorraine ; the brave
and loyal people of Hungary were told by BUONA-
PARTE. in a Proclamation, that he would give them
a free Constitution, that they were to have a King of
their own choosing, &c. A peace has been made, and
the,e threats have not been carried into execution ;
and can it be fairly argued that the exertions of Eng-
land have had no effeel in disappointing the plans of
BUONAPARTO Can it be contended that 40,000
British troops in Walcheren and Beveland, even
though they did not accomplish the ultimate object
of the expedition, did not cripple the exertions and
distract the force of the enemy ? But it is in vain to
argue with those who will make any assertion,
hcwever unfounded, or maintain any proposition,
however absurd, merely to gratify pany hostility.

Mr. CECIL JENKINSO!,I succeeds Mr. COOKE, as
Under Sz•cl-etary of State in the Colonial Department,
and Col. BuNBURY is peaed to be Private Secre-
tary to Lord LIVERPOOL.
It has been stated, but without the slightest
foutidatzu in fa&, that Mr. ROSE is to be Chancel-
of the Exchequer.

Yesterday the Earls
.uf LIVERPOOL and HARROW-
By, and Mr. HAMILTON, transated business with
Lord NILTLG.RAvE, at the• Admiralty. •
We are concerned to hear that two considerable
;louses in the corn trade have stopped payment. •
