Mr Times, which is said to be under ministerial
inspeaion, is filled with perpetual inveaives against
France. Two of its four pages are every day em-
ployed in giving currency to the grossest calumnies.
All that imagination can depia, that is low, vile,
and base, is by that miserable Paper attributed to
the French Government. What is its end ? Who
pays it ? What does it wish to effect ?
A French Journal, Edited by some miserable
Emigrants, the remnant of the most impure, a vile
refuse, without Country, without Honour, sullied
with Crimes which it, is not in the power Of ;any
Amnesty to wash away, outdoes even the Times.
Eleven Bishops, presided over by the atrocious
Bishop of ARRAS, Rebels to their Country and to the
Church, have assembled in London. They print
L:ljels against the Bishops and the French Clergy;
they injure the Government and the Pope, who have
re-established the Peace of the gospel amongst 4.0
Millions of Christians.
The Isle of jersey is full of Brigands, condemned
to death by the Tribunals for crimes committed sub-
sequent to the?cace ; for Assassinations, Robberies,
and the praaices Of an Incendiary.
The Treaty of Amiens stipulates, that persons
accused of crimes, of Murder, for instance, shall be
respeaively delivered up. The Assassins who are
at jersey' are, 'on the contrary, received. They
depart from thence unmolested, in fishing-boats,
disembark on our Coasts, assassinate the richest Pro-
prietors, and burn the stacks of corn and the barns.

GtoRCEs wears 'Openly at London • his Red
Ribband, as a recompense for the infernal Machine
which destroyed a part of Paris, and killed thirty
women and children, or peaceable Citizens, This
special proteetion authorizes a belief, that if he had
succeeded he would have been honoured 'lshii the

Let us make sorne iefleCtions on this strange con:.
dud of our Neighbours.
When two great Nations make Peace, is it for the
purpose of reciprocally exciting troubles, or to en-
, gage and pay for crimes ? Is it for the purpose of
giving money and prote6tion to all men who wish to
trouble the State ? And as to. the Liberty of the
Press, is a Country to be at liberty to speak of a
Nation, friendly, and newly reconciled, in a manner
which they durst not speak of a Government against
whom they were prosecuting a deadiy War ?
Is not one Nation responsible to another Nation
for all the aas and all the conduCl of its Citizens ?
Do not .Aets of Parliament even prohibit Allied
Governments, or their Ambassadors, to be insulted ?
It is said that RICHELIEU; under Louis XIII.
assi.ired the Revolution in England, and contributed
to bring CHARLES the First to the Scaffold„ M.
de CHOISEUL; and after him, the M..-isiers of
Louis XVI. doubtless excited the .I%urreaiun in
America. The late English Ministry have had their
revenge : they excited the Massacres of September,
and influenced their movements, by means of which
Louis XVI, perished on the scaffold, and by means
of which our principal Manufaduring Cities, such
as Lyons, were destroyed.

Is it still wished that this series of movements
and influence, which has been produtive of such
calamitous consequences to ,both States, for so
many ages, should be prolonged ? Would it
not be more reasonable; and more•conformable to
the results of experience, to mike use of the reci-
procal influence of proper commercial relations, as
the means of proteaing Commerce, of preventing
the fabrication of faise money, and opposing a re-
fuge to criminals ?

Besides.? 'what result can the English Govern_
ment exile 1, from fomenting the troubles of the

Church from receiving anti vomiting back upon

our Territory the Brigands of the Cotes.du-Nord and
Morbihav, covered with the blood of the best and

richest Proprietors of those unfortunate Depart'.

meats, from spreading by every means, instead of
severely repressing, all the calumnies ciredated by

English Writers, or by the French Press at London.
Do they not know that the French Government is

now more solidly established than the English Go-
vernment ? And do they think that reciprocity will
be difficult for the French Government ?

What would be the effect of such an exchange of
njuries, of the influence of insurreaional Com-

mit tees, of the proteetion and encouragement grant-

ed to AssaSsins ? V/hat would be gained to Civi_
lization, to the Commerce and the happiness of both

Nations ?

Either the English Government authorizes and
tolerates those Public and Private Crimes, in which
case it cannot be said tat such conduct is con..

sistent with British Generosity, Civilization, and
Honour ; or it cannot prevent them, in which

€ase it does nor deserve the name of a Government ;
above al, if it does not, possess the means of re-
pressing assassination and calumny, and pro;eksil4

Letters from
Cadiz state, that a Convoy of Nea.
politan Vessels had brought into that Port a part of
the French Troops which were in the Kingdom of
Naples. Some say that they are destined for an
Expedition in the Mediterranean ; others, that they
are to be sent to the West Indies.

VIENNA, JULY 24.—1 t is asserted, that the
interview at Memel has not been so satisfadory to
the KING of PRUSSIA as appearances might have in-
duced one to believe. The Plan of Indemnities which
that Prince presented to the EMPEROR of RUSSIA,
was not agreed to by the latter, who cannot ;ee with
indifference, Prussia obtain a compensation which
more than doubles her loss, and he insists on a mo-
dification of the Plan. It is said, on the other side,
that England opposes so considerable an increase of
power on the part of Prussia, which would place the
other States in the North of Germany in his power.
It is only after the continued refusal of the EM-
PEROR of RUSSIA to subscribe to the arrangement
of the 4th of June, that France has adopted that
line of conduet which ought to have been pursued a
long tithe. since ; that is, to charge the Deputation
of the Empire already appointed, with the Defi-
nitive arrangement of the Indemnities.
PETERSBURGH, JULY 13.—According to a new
arrangement which has taken place between the
KING of PRUSSIA and the EMPEROR of RUSSIA,
the latter is to furnish annually to the 'Pretender the
sum of 75,c00 roubles.

THE ARTS.---NORTHCOTE has been painting a
Portrait of Mr. ABBOT, sitting in the Chair, as
Speaker of the House of Commons. The Likeness
is exact, and,the- work is a fine spirited Portrait.--
The Artist has represented-his subjel as if listening
with attention to a Debate. There was some dit.
ficulty in giving such an expression, in a single Figure,
without hazarding the appearance ofaffedation, but
the Painter has surmounted it very sucessfully....
This Pidure is to be placed in the University of
Oxford, among the Portraits of these who have
been'Sdircated i°r that Institution, and who have
dktinguished theinselves in the world, by talents,
learning, and public services.
The same 'Artist has just finished a fine Portrait
of Dr. FoRD, the Uncle of that adive and julicious
Magistrate, Sir RICHARD Fo.RD.--The Head is
admirably coloured, and the PiCture is a fine Por-
trait of venerable Age.
NORTHCOTE has also produced an excellent For.
trait ,of RALPH LEICESTER, Esq. of Cheshire, a
near relation of Sir Jou& LEICESTER, so well
known for' his taste and patronage of the Arts.
Another work which is receiving the finishing
touches from this Artist, is a PortrAt of Dr. Jr/4-
whoe name is deservedly held in very high
repute in the medical world, for a discovery oflhe
utny)st imp,rtance to mankind. This Portrait, in
fidelity of resemblance, and general spirit, is worthy
of the Artist and .his Subject.

The new plan which a number of Artists are tin.
derstood to he preparing, is nor, we find, intended
as a Rivalship to the Royal Academy, but merely
a depot for works which the Artists concerned in it
wish to dispose of. Still, we conceive, that the
Royal Academicians themselves cannot, consistent.
ly, engage in this plan, though it may be proper
enough for Artists who have not obtained a tooting
in the Academy.
An Artist belonging to the Scenic Department of
Covent-Garden Theatre, lately went to Kent, for
the purpose of taking Views of distinguished parts
of that County', in:ended for a Dramatic Spe&icle,
which is to be brought forward early in the ensuing
Season. He- was tempted to extend his Views by
a trip to France, where being observed in the
exercis of his Pencil, he was taken into cus-
tody;.:. and corrimi!tcd to prison. He soon, how,.
ever, .convinced ",the French Government, that he
did not intend to copy the Fortifications of ART, but
the. Beauties of NATURE, and was therefore this-
charged ; but had no inclination to resume his 14-
hours, being perfealy satisfied in an opportunity of
taking himself off !

Mr. M4tNwARIN9 has been commended by a
Resolution at the meeting of his Friends, for not
conde'xending to answer the infamous Calumnies

that have been circulated against him during the
whole of the contest for Middlesex.—ln this seiLi."
went all mankind must agree, and honour him for a
forbearance that very few would have had temper
enough to pradice. More venomous and more
outrageous Falsehoods were certainly never issued
against any man ; but they can relied only on their
Authors. Sir FRANC ;S BURDETT may exult on
his temporary triumph, but there is no liberal and
gentlemanly charader in the Empire that does not
look on the conduit of his Abettors and Supporters
with indignation and horror.

Mr. Fox will be unable to find even a Vestige of
the Glorious Monument of Human Wisdom, ti first
Constitution of France, which he affe4ed toadinire
so much.

The Clerkship of the Pells in Ireland was given
to Mr. Fox while he was under age, and one of his
first aas, when lie came of age, was to Sell it.
Mr. CATO R has long been distinguished by the
title of the Lord of Beckingharit, but the decision of
two late trials will probably abate his dliposition to
Lord it at that place. It is hardly to be believed, that
though, in the Rrs t of those trials, in which Mr.
CATok was the Defendant, and was 'fined by the
Court, the bells.of the town were rung in token of
triumph.
It was remarked, by some Parisian Wit, that

THE HAMBURGH MAIL.

VIENNA, JULY 24.

WE are again greatly alarmed for the life of the
ARCHDUKE CHARLES. In tne night between the
21st and zed instant, His Royal Highness had an-
other severe attack of his disorder; and the accounts
of his health to-day are still very distressing. Last
night was a very unquiet one, and there was scarcely
any intermission to the epileptic firs. The Physi-
cians are continually with the Archduke.

same to our Court.
