[THE TIMES.]
By the Kent East Endiaman, letters dated the
515th of February were received yesterday from
Canton, conveying the satisfactory intelligence
that the differences with the Chinese have been
Amicably adjusted. To add to the value of this
information, we learn also that the Chinese Go-
Yernment have abandoned the principle that the
representatives of the East India Company at
Canton are responsible for acts committed by
British ships of war, thus securing a most im-
portant point to our trade with China, and les-
sening the danger of occurrences like that for
which it has recently suffered a suspension of
more than two months, since the crews of the In-
diamen are much less likely than those of the
men of war to engage in affrays with the peaceful
subjects of the " *Celestial Empire." -We un-
derstand that the fortunate result in which the
differences have terminated, has been greatly
owing to the advantage enjoyed by the represen-
tatives of the East India Company at Canton, in
the abilities of Dr. Morrison, together with his
profound knowledge of the language, laws, and
usages of China.

[NEW TIMES.]
Whether it be parliamentary to say that any
thing uttered by a Member of Opposition is
" disgusting," we will not presume to determine;
but we can answer for it that the public at large
has viewed with the utmost disgust the impotent
attempt. to 'depreciate the character and to wound
the paternal feelings of a most amiable and re-
spected Nobleman. Lord Sidmouth has the proud
conviction of having carried into private life the
'gratitude, esteem, and veneration of every man
who has a heart to feel, or a head to compre-
hend moral and political excellence. A faithful
servant of his King and country for nearly forty
years, the memory of his important services is
cherished alike by Sovereign and People. All
know him to have been as firm and inflexible in
the discharge of public duty,as he was unaffectedly
mild and, amiable in his private deportment. In-
tegrity was his great personal characteristic, and
a zealous attachment to our free Constitution was
the undeviating rule of his political conduct. To
affect to place such a Statesman on the level of
a door-keeper," is either the mark of a'petty,
mean, and en.ious spirit, or it, indicates a degree
of conceited vanity, which the English Public
must view with sovereign contempt. We natu-
rally ask, who is the Micromegas of the Senate,
that looks flown from the height of his stupendous
intellect on a former Prime Minister of this
country ? What talent has this self-satisfied Gen.
tleman himself evinced ? What large and States-
man-like views does he entertain ? What refine-
ment and, delicacy is observable in his man-
ners ? The answer to these questions is but
too obvious ; and if 'it could ever have been
doubted, that doubt' is now entirely removed.—
We agree with an Evening Paper, that Lord
Sidmouth has great reason to expect• to en-
counter the malevolence of the weak-minded
and the factious. He possesses claims to venera-
tion which they can never hope to enjoy. He
has wrought/ benefits to his country which they
dare not aspire to parallel. Ilis disinterested-
ness and liberality, i❑ declining, on more than
one occasion, the remuneration usual on quitting
office, are virtues, which _perhaps they would
rather be excused from imitating. But the people,
the considerate and reflecting people of England,
not only cherish a grateful remembrance of Lord
Sidmouth's virtues they share the sentiments of
Lord Londonderry, in repelling the attacks on
his late colleague with utter scorn and indig-
nation.

[MORNING POST.]
t LORD SIDMOUTII —The result of Mr. Creevey's
motion on Wednesday night has naturally afforded,
great satisfaction to every liberal and loyal mind.
Notwithstanding the assertion made to the con-
trary, it is obvious that the attacks upon this
truly upright Noble Lord by the factious arise
not from any unfitness on the part of his Lord-
ship for the duties of the offices he has held, as
they unfairly and disingenuously allege, but be-
cause he filled, them too well for their purposes;
because, whilst he did fill them, he disappointed
all 'their calculations, defeated all their pro-
phecies, and made them the scorn and laughing-,
stock of the whole country; because he would not
be cajoled and. gulled by the affectation of attach-
ment to the Constitution_ exhibited by those who
were converting its forms into engines for its de-
struction; because he was not so stupid and be-
sotted as to believe that the Manchester and
other Meetings had for their aim and object the
welfare"of the Empire and the protection of our
lttws. They hate him, because he would not
stand by in apathy and silence, and suffer Buo-
naparte to ~c,trry on without interruption his ,
views of ambition and aggrandizement ; because
he roused the energies of the country to under-
take that war which finally put down the tyrant,
and carried our country to the,highest pinnacle
of greatness and glory.; they hate him, because
there was not one promise thpy made, nor one,
prediction they held out, during the whole course
of that war, that was fulfilled. These are the
causes of the deadly hate they bear him ;' and
far be it from us to deny that, on their own
grounds, they have full cause to hate him. But
every thing that makes him obnoxious to them
makes him dear to us, and gives him an everlast,
ing claim to the thanks and gratitude of his
country. Had his Lordship merited the good
will and eulogies of the factious, he: would have
been to, us as much an object of contempt and
indignation as he is now the- object or our utmost
respect and veneration.
