THE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS.

FOR THE SUN.
Aln.Enrroa—The studied omission of ALL the
papers illustrative of the Military Administration
of tht Marquis of HASTINGS in the selection made
by the Court of Directors, in pursuance of the
vote of a General Court of the Proprietors of
India Stock, to produce ALL the papers re-
specting his conduct in the government of
India, has excited very great surprise, as they
are so essential to enable the Public to form a
Correct opinion of his general government of
that country ; but especially of his conduct
towards the Army, and the claim he subse-
quently made to share with them in the
division of the booty captured during the late
war.—lf the Court of Directors wish to shew
their favourable sense of the bravery and gal-
lantry of the Troops belonging
.to BOTH Services,
they will produce ALL those papers and cor-
resirondence, by which the people of this coun-
try will be convinced, that the greatest merit of
Lord Ilasting's Administration nlo NOT consist in
the services which he rendered the Indian Army
or in improving its condition ; but, on the con-
trary, that the claims set up by him to partici-
pate in the booty. they captured, has retarded,
even up to this moment, any division of it what-
ever, and the troop's, Contrary to all INDIAN
Puz;cklous•rs, are at this time uncertain to what
extent, and when, they shall receive any part
of it.

MADRID, JUNE 17.—A long dissertation on public opinion
has been addressed to Count Ofalia. and to M. d'Arjonit,
perintendent of Police. This paper ivtoo long and too ill written
for us to give it. The following is the substance of the ideas
developed in it:—The necessity of the Alliance of all the
Powers of Europe to reconquer South America. Reproaches
to che English, who appear to opPose it, though at the bottom
they agree with the Holy Alliance. All good Royalists are re-
presented as defenders of the 'Throne and the Altar, and as
such deserving of rewards and ?amours, and of the proceeds of
the sale of the property of tht Revolutionists. An examina-
tion of all the shades of opition, in which it is shown that
hatred to the French and thedesire to expel them from Spain
Are stronger than ever. This hatred is more open and more
violent among the military atrl the monks, whom the Army of
Occupation hinders from intlilging in greater excesses. Ap..
prehension has been excited by the probable consequences of
the measure already announced, of making all persons leave
Madrid who have not been Here six years, and. the execution
of this measure is deferred to inother time.
The prisons, which are full. in consequence of the Leva, are
surrounded the whole day Ion; by an immense number of per-
eons who are relations or frienls of those confined.
An almost impenetrable veil is cast over the affairs of Portu-
gal : all letters from that counry which mention politics are
intercepted witimUt distinction. Tne Apostolic Junta, not-
withstanding the check it haslately received, exerts itselfmore
than ever.
