LONDON, MARC!! 23, 1802.

THIS morning a Dutch Mail arrived. We have
extraaed the following Articles :

HAGUE, MARCH i6.--,Admiral Ds WINTER,
it is reported, will sail in the beginning of the next
month with his Fleet to the Mediterranean.

Yesterday the New National ChamLer of Ac-
counts was installed.

-
Next week the Departmental Commission is to
meet, in order to adjust some.difßculties that have
occurred in settling the Department of Holland,
owing to the Council of State having been occupied
with the consideration of Dutch Brabant, and thus
not having had leisure to attend in proper time to
that Department. It is hoped, however, that these'
difficulties will soon be removed, and that the De-
partments will be speedily settled according to the
New Constitution.

It is said that our Colonial Troops are to receive

an increase of goon men.

Citizen DEDEM de GELDER, the Bata v ian Am-
bassador to the KING of ETRURIA, arrived at
Parma, accompanied by Colonel VILLERS, on the
Bth of February.

MILAN, MARCH I.—The President Mg zl,
who had announced an intention of immediately
reforming every branch of the Administration, has
in his first step found an unforeseen obstacle
in the limits of his power. He has thought it his
duty to render an account to his Flllow-Citiziens,
and to reveal to them more clearly than he has
hitberto clone,, the relations of himsftlf and the
the Republic with the First Consul of France, For
this purpose, MELZS bas written to the Consti-
tuted Authorities, through the medium of the an-
cient Cisalpine Minister of the Interior and of
Justice, and has at the same time published a cir-
cular Letter dated the 22d of February, which is
thus concluded :
" The Vice-President wishing to satisfy, as fat
as relates to himself, the impatience of the Public
to see the organization of the new system put in a
state of glivity, charges me to make known, that
the delay does not proceed merely from the indis-
pensable necessity of requiring 4 precise know-
ledge of the aLaual state of affairs, in order to
ground upon it with confidence ulterior operations,
but principally from this circumstance, "that we have
not received the appointment of our Ministers, which
our President, BONApARTE, reserves to himself."
It is easy to comprehend, that without Ministers
it is impossible to organize a Ministry; and that
without an Administration, it is impossible to give
aaivity to an Administrative System. The proofs
which our President has given of his zeal for the
prosperity and success of the new order of things
which he has established, leaves no room to doubt,
that in spite of the distance of place, and other cir-
cumstances which have contributed to the delay,
the appointments may be shortly expelled.
(Signed) PANCALDI.'•

AT length, after repeated annunciations, the for-
midable attack on Mr. ADDINGTON'S Admini-
stration, so long threatened by a Morning Paper,
has made its appearance. Fabius Cuaaatordescends
from the hills ; and relying on a preparation of at
least six weeks, meditates nothing less than the
total overthrow of the notorious Enemy of his Coun-
try. The movement itself is a genuine indication
of Public Spirit ; and the means employed to en-
sure its success, well become the Assailant v.ho
has had recourse to them. A wise General will
always be disposed to pl.►ce the greatest relit:ince or.

bituated ; and slander, venoin--, misrepre—sentatiol;;
and lies, are no less familiar to that P3per 1114
its Myrmidons, than the bow to a Parthia.n,
broad-sword to an Highlander, or the tomallawl`:

to an Indian.
Don't let our Readers imagine, that we are dis-
posed to intrude on their patience, or to insult their
understandings, by a laboured and critical examina-
tion of this jumble of Con tradiftion, Inconsistency,
Spleen, and Falsehood, which bears conclusive marks 1
of its emanation from the pen of some Mortified'
Malicious, and Disappointed Partizan, who, per'
haps, had vainly imagined, that had the Union, so
much talked of, between the present Government, , ‘
and some Opponents of the last, been carried into
effea, he might have been thought worthy of a re-
commendation to some inferior Office. The Arti-
cle is throughout an Attack, not on the general
(
Measures of the Government, to which the Coun-
try would have anticipated us in finding an An'
swer, but on the personal qualifications of the
et Mi-
nister. On this topic, we reluantly take tip tile .
gauntlet, as they can of course be properly esti'
mated by the large circle of friends by whom he is
surrounded, as well as by a Parliament from which'
he has experienced almost an unanimous Support'
and by a Public, which has abundantly derived the
happy consequences of them,
With respett to his measures, it seems, ti4t
they have been at once unconstitutional, but i'''
o.tfessii.ve ; violent, but unobjetlionable ; insult"
but ?arrive; injurious, but harmless. In his eotro
position as a man, we find Vanity, Specionsoes6'
Inability, Presumption, Lust of Power, Deceit, Ob"
sequlousness, Selfishness and Immorality, Ft°lll
what model the writer of the Paragraph in question
drew this portrait, representing the happy tui°se
of so many amiable ingredients, no one can, perhs

so properly explain as himself. It is nothing lesp
AP'
than a Libel on the Monarch who chose Mr,
DiNoToN for his Minister, on the Legislattlt° .
which has supported him, and on the Public wiliCti
has given him its confidence.
The Charges against him, as a Minister' ore C 011•

and the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus A6t ;,.
to the Bill of Indemnity; to the Constitution °I
the Secret Committee ; and to his desertion of Mrs
ABBOTT, on the question for continuing Mad/31
Law. The whole concludes with the triuneant
exultation at the defeat which he sustained in the
R°B'memorable conflia with the celebrated Mr.
SON. We are far from suspe6ling Mr, Rolls° It

Considerations of private interest ? How it could by
means prove it, we must leave it to this sagacious
Journalist to explain. Were we to talk to him
k. about a sense of duty to the King, and devotion to
the interests .of the Country, we are well aware
that he would be wholly at a loss to understand us.
But we have done with him. The Public will,
we hope, pardon this Tribute which we have felt
it our duty to pay to private Virtue and public
Merit. In proportion as circumstances may ren-
der both the cne and the other more conspicuous,
and as the Country may be profiting from both,
will they be exposed to the venom and scurrility
of those, who, like the Writer of the Paragraph on
which we .have been commenting, are incapable of
estimating, and, perhaps, interested in depreciating,
worth in a man, and talents in a Statesman.—lt is
RI" Our province to set up as Panegyrists.—But we
hope never to be found backward in endeavouring
to expose misrepresentation, falsehood, and in re-
probating calumny—especially when we feel that

Con )unity,
