THE TIMES and MORNING CHRONICLE

(Front Mc Times of yesterday)

Some days ago we inserted art article froth one
Of the French Papers, relative to ,the conduct of
the English troops at Marseilles. The French
writer spoke in warns terms of the regular beha-
viour., cleanliness, and good nature of our court-
trvn►en, and particularly mentioned their desire to
make then►seive3 useful, and their affectionate
treatment of lirtle children. The writer also gave
an account of an English military punishment in
such a manner, as s►resved that he had been shock-
etl by it. We published the extract with a few
' prefatory lines, stating, that the eulogy therein
contained, of the character• of a British soldier,
would be read with pride and pleasure by all Eng-
lishmen ; and hoping, that those chiefly concern
ed would• not overlook the hint in►pliedly convey-
ed in the French account of the military flogging.
In all this we suppose that there was nothing ob-
jectionabfe ; nor could we be accused of uttering►
any sentiments unworthy of Englishmen, unless
our langnage was grossly'perverted and mis-stat-
ed. Such a mis-statement has, however•, appear-.
ed from the pen of the Editor of a Morning Paper:
He gives the French article, but leaves out the
passage relative to the good conduct of our troops :
-he retains t:,e passage about the military flog-
ging, but omits the remarks which we made up-.
on it. Having thus garbled the French para-
graph, and the observations by us prefixed to it,
he wishes to make it appear, tbat we called the
account of the flogging an eulogy on the clia-
racter of the Eng'ish soldier. Now, we believe,
it to be utterly useless to address ourselves to the
author of such a representation ; neither his taste,
nor his moral sensibility can be alive to any just
reproof : but we ask our readers whether, a man
who should in private intercourse make such a
mis-statement about another, and with delibera-
tion, (for it could not possibly be accidental),
would not be thought to have deprived himself, by
such a paltry artifice, of the privileges of courtesy.
-and social equality ?"

An order has been issued in the Canary Islands,
'enjoining that all mails, from whatsover quarter
they may arrive, are to be carried to the Gover-
nor's house, and examined before delivery to the
public. It is supposed that this measure origi-
nated in the circumstance of the late General
YORUBA being a native of the Canaries.
We are sorry EC, state, that Lord GARr;NEIt is
seriously indisposed.
The expences at Beaudesert, during the— visit
of the ParricE REGENT, are said to have amount-
ed to 1,600/. per diem.

'And in his Cellar itopp'd hit)) down.
• Throttle) all our land We could not bOast
A Knight more gay, More prompt than he,
-To rise and fill a bumper loatt,,
-And pass it round with Hate

None better knew the feast to sway,
Or keep Mirth's boat in better trim
Fur Nature had hot little clay
Like that of which she moulded hinr.
The mintiest guest that graced his board,
Was there the freest of the free,
Hie homper`toast, when Pitet pour'd,
Anil pass'd it round With thiee time: three:

Ile kept at true good humour's mark,
The social fintv of pleasure's tide;
Ile never Made a brow look dark,
Nor caus'd a tear but when he died.
No sorrow round his trhalb should dwell,
More pleased his gay old Ghost would be,
For funeral song, and passing bell,
TO hear no sound but 'three 7'ime,t three.
