from the experience of his past condua, nothing
but what is insidious and fraudulent can be expeaed
ruin the French Usurper ; but when we first stated
the arrival of this Flag of Truce, we observed,
that it was not only the policy of the Mock-Empe-
ror to appear disposed for Peace, but his interest
also; fur having raised himself to the summit of all
the power which it was likely that he should be able
to attain, it is now his business to consolidate
and secure that power. We are no'more advocates
for Peace, in the present situation of affairs, than
any of our Competitors, and desire it no more than
they do, till the French Tyrant shall have made
those sacrifices which alone Can render Peace perma.
nent, and which can hardly, be expeaed from so
proud and arrogant a charaaer. Therefore, thank.
ing certain Writers for the praise of good intentions
which they are so kind as to attribute to us, we du
not see how we have been less wise than themselves,
in relating the faa of the arrival of the Flag of Truce,
and inferring, since it could nut refer merely to
the Exchange of Prisoners, that it came with an
appearance of pacific dispositions on the part of the
Usurper, and, perhaps, with a design of throwing on
the British Government any odium that might re.
sult from a reluEtancc to give efficacy to such subtle
pretensions. After all, if the new Emperor should
be disposed to sit quietly down with the vast ho.
Hours he has acquired, and having assumed the rank
of a Sovereign, should wish to maintain the true
charaaer of one, he will find no Quixotic extrava-
gance on the part of the British Administration, but
a sincere desire to give repose to the world when.
ever it can be obtained consistently with the security
and honour of the country.

The /lb/win: Chronicle attempts to reduce the
ground of War between this Country and Spain to
the " Pecuniary Supplies" only ; because,
.atter
the detention of the Frigates, His Catholic
jesty requested the Mediation of Russiai which
is 41 a proof" (says the Editor) " that Spain
nourished no hostile mind against as." What! If
Spain arm against us, and, at the same time, tell.
us that she meana no harm, are we to acquiesce in
such an explanation, and believe her words rather
than her ads

We have again to notice the presumptuous into.
'cue, or malignant falsehood, of the Morning
Chronicle (it really must be one or the other), in
saying that the 44 Story of the Preparations in the
Swinish Ports is notoriously fahr." Tha,F.,tlitor of
that Paper has a right to his opinion in common
with any other man ; but to assert that a statement

The accounts from Jamaica reach down to the
ISth of November ; we have inserted extratts from
the Gazettes published in that Island.
The Cointnander of the Squadron on that station
was apprised by dispatches, transmitted to him from
England, and received at the latter end of OEtober,
of the probability of hostilities with Spain. The
vessel which carried them out sailed from Plymouth
on the 22d of September, and it is not unlikely but
orders for the detention of Spanish ships. might
have been sent out by her, although we have no
information that they have been atled upon.
Governor NUGSNT issued, in Of.tober, a Procla.
maim', prohibiting the introduCtion of Aliens into
the Island. It states, ,At that many persons of a
dangerous description to the security and tranquil.
lily of the Island, had arrived therein; and that
there was reason to apprehend that many more may
arrive." We see no occasion for any alarm in that
proceeding : it is one of the usual precautions that
was adopted in the course of the last war, and
which may be more necessary at present, on ac.
Count of the numbers of desperate French charac.
ters who were expelled from St. Domingo by the
Blacks, and who are dispersed throughout allthe
neutral Islands in the Antilles.
" Extraordinary (says The Morning Chronicle)
as the intimation respetting the Garter being of.
feted to Mr. ADDINGTON, and not to Mr. PITT,
may be, we AVER that the fait is certain." We
neither know nor care any thing about the fad.—
Mr. PITT might have had any ribband he pleased,
any time these twenty years.
Does the Morning Chronicler mean to extend his
averment to the concluding words of his paragraph ?
" that one of the motives of the alteration of the
Statutes of the Garter was for the purpose of admit.
ting him (Mr. A.) into that illustrious Brother.
hood ?" We rather think net.
The Office of Receiver General for SCOTLAND,
lately filled by Mr. lintatr.Ton, of Pencaithland,
11hS of course increased in value with the Revenues
of that Country, and is now one of the most pro.
fitable places of the kind. In ENGLAND, all the
larger Counties are divided, and have two or more
Receivers General : we have, heard it suggested,
that a similar arrangement was likely to be made in
resist& to the Scotch Receivership. This idea must
have given rise to the paragraph in The Morning
Chronicle, stating, that " certain Offices arc to be
split."
It is hardly necessary: to add, that the above.
mentioned employment disqualifies its possessor, or
possessors, from holding a Seat in the House of om.
muns,—Try again, Morning Chronicle !
The Earl of CAILI.IhL haildisplayed his usual annual
consideration to the poor on his Lordship's estates,
in the neighbourhood of Castle. Howard, by having
distributed amongst them a quantity of coals and
money, warm clothing &c. during the Christmas

season..
The Duke and notches, of Normusts a kLAND
