Tiir inconsistencies into which the Qppositicn
Writers have been led, by their anxiety to find fault
with the appointment:of Mr. Gopas HENRY Rosin,
are truly curious. *heti then' 'atta'cki uppn his
i•aerp erience are retorted 'by all;usion to the mission
of, gr. 'IIiNRY WILLIAMS- WYNNIO DiTitida, they
answer,. that Mr, lAtratbr was, 9ppiillit6tll'Llj, Lord
HAWKtossurty 9but wishing, notwithstanding this
cireurnstance, to, 'defend that appointment, because
he is the Nephew Lord GRENvir.,4Ei and pen-
41010dr.by him,. they insist, that as he had, been
previously a Clerk and Precis-Writer in the Foreign
I,..jilice; he had had a.regular diplomatic education,
and ne.objeaiOn could

will not allow that Mr, Rose'shaving. been employed

important Negotiations at the Hagu9,,and afterwards

"As to the object-of the voyage of Louis XVIII..
to England, respekting
_which the Editor of the
Morning' Post pretends 'to be infortned, we state as
a fad, that he is wholly ignorant of it, and that.very
few individuals are privy tot it. Mention. has been
made of a letter from an illustrieus traveller to the
H.Kihg of England, and of:.the answer of his British
Majesty. Admitting these letters to exist,, it is not
to be.preiumed that they, have been communicated
'to any journalist.
`` The following is 'what has reached. us in the
most authentic, shapeupon this suh)eet :—Etiving iu
more' fortunate times made.a rendezvous, this Prince,,
that he might pot be accused of breaking an engage-
ment, sailed' from a ,Russian port to Stralsund, a
toWn'at'that time in a state Of siege. Overtaken by
a tempest, against which.be struggled: for a whole.

WaS forced into Cariserona, where the King of
Sweden bad just disembarked, almost dying. The
interview of the two Sovereigns, and their subse-
quent cenferences, gave 'rise to , the step taken by
Louis XVIII. It is not less obvious that since the
arrival of his. Majesty, and the two Princes, his
Nephews, England is in pessessien. of every thing
which presents a hope of a sincere and honourable
connection with France, accompanied with a pledge
of the trantoillitY of the world.

Louis XVIII. has experienced, and those which he,
has still to fear, the lines of Horace may be well
applied to him. . '
