We learn, by a Letter
.received from Bengal, that
Ahmed Khan Kuzulbashee, and other Afghan Chiefs,
have determined to place on the Throne of Turan
the eldest son of Mahmood Shah, who is now at Ca.
bal. A guard is set over the house of Witfatlar Khan,
the late Vizier. The younger son of Mahmood Shah
is sent by his father to take posseshion of Peshaweer ;
but a son of Zeman Shah is in that province.; he has
collthed about 4000 men, anti having brought
over by promise of reward some Sirdars from Mah.
mood Shan's service, is levying a larger force.
He has put the Royal Taj on hie own head, and is
Preparing to encounter Mahmood Shah in the
field.

Nothing can more evidently prove the want of
information in a Morning Paper, to which we have
been of late induced by wanton provocation to
allude more direttly, than its perseverance in deny.
jog that any intercourse has recently taken place
between Mr. PITT and the present Minister, tend.
ing to the introdudion of the former again into
olhce.—Thib perseverance is as impolitic as it is
false, because it must plainly shew that the Paper
alluded to has no claim to that confidence of' which
it has so often boasted. Besides, as it is now well
known that such an intercourse has taken place,
though unfortunately suspended, if not wholly
at an end, to condemn it is not to pronounce cen-
sure on Mr. PITT only, which has been so much
the virulent aim of that Paper, but iS to censure
also
.the other Party for consenting to enter into
any negotiation upetn the subjett.---The rational
friends of both parties, however, do not view this
matter in the same light as a rancorous scribbler in
an abusive Print. They wish to see a man revered
by all the world, again in a situation to serve his
Country, by the exertion of his unrivalled talents.
They wish to superadd the bond of political concord
and confederation to those ties of private friendship
and esteem by'which they have been connected from
their earliest days. Such has been the laudable
desire of all wise and honest men attached to both
parties ; such has been,, for some time past, the ap.
Parent purpose of the Parties themselves:and nothing
we are persuaded could give more satisfaftion to
the People, at large than the firm public union of so
much virtue and so much ability.
ibieedarr. —TALLEYR AND PERIGORD was one
day questioned by the Ft aST CONSIA on the sub.
Jed of his large for tune, and the sources from which
he had derived it, after having been despoiled of all
his ecclesiastical revenues by the Revolution. The
wary Courtier answered with great presence of
mind 4. General, I aCtually purchased, and caused
to be purchased, an immense quantity of stocks, on
the 18th of Brumaire." (It is in the recolleetion
of every body, that the French Consols which now
'en lot 54, were worth only 6 or 7 livres at that
time). To such a flattering and ingenious answer,
the
,CossuL could not but smile ; and since that
time, 11e has no longer made any improper quest ions
'Ps his vrafty Miaistet about his private concerns. •
