MISCELLANEOUS.

Sir Jour; MALCOLLThe insinuations of Sir
JOHN MALCOLM'S friends, that Mr. CANNING
" i 1 at the bottom of the negative, without any
reason assigned, put by the Board of Controul,
" on the appointment of that most able and ac-
" complished Officer and Statesman, Sir JOHN
ic Mls
ALCOLM, to the Government of Madras,"—
(Morning Chronicle,)---are as injurious to that
hliviall's character as they are devoid of truth ;
and we cannot, but regret that Sir J. MAr.coot
ihoold lend himself, and give his sanction, to
calumnies of this nature, or allow such violent
attacks to be made on His MAJESTIC.B Govern-
ment, as appeared in the same Morning Paper,
on Saturday last in an article entitled, 64 East
" India Patronage—Sir J. itlALcor.m." In this
article, Sir JOHN'S friends not only modestly
live, TO HIM ALONE, all the credit for the con.
duct and brilliant termination of the late Malt-
nubs war, and the settlement of Central India,
but likewise most indecently insinuate, that it is
probable, Sir J. MALCOLM'S friend and com-
panion, His Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON,
4,4 had assented to the ignoble sacrifice of the
" honour and interest of his friend, and of his
" C'untry) to a mean spirit of official jobbing."
'We cannot for a moment suppose that Sir Joiirt
AlAt.cotaa was in any manner privy to this attack
as the
on the Duke of WELLINGTON ; and we hope that,
writer of the article in question intends to
home his observations on East India Patronage,
he will make the amende honourable, and apo-
Nise to the distinguished individual, who has
beef_i so wantonly and unnecessarily brought for-
W“Eq on this occasion.
