TO THE EDITOR 01i11-HE SUN.

MR. EDITORS

It was not my intention to notice the silly rhapsody
that appeared in your Paper some time ago., signed
Justpn Wsmist, in answer to a Letter which I
sent to you on the subjed of the theatrical wonder
who has obtained the distinetion of the INFANT
RO,CIUS. But as the same vanity which prompted
this Joan; WEsTuN to subscribe his name to his
Letter may indtice him to consider that Letter as
unanswerable, 1 beg leave to trouble you once more
on the suhirtt.
His observatiOn, that it was a bold assumption in
me to say that the intended introduction of the Boy
on the London hoards, " in the opinion of all who
knew any thing about afting, can bode no good for
the Stage," because it would be impossible for me
to collect the opinions of all, is a pititul cavil upun
words.

He tells us that thousands upon thousands have
flocked from different places to see the youthful
prodigy, but it may be said that an equal number
flock to the annual wonders of Bartholomew Fair.

The Gentleman then displays his learning about 1
Antediluvians, rotundity of the Earth,circumtaviga.
:in of the Globe, Bc. &c.
But it would be tiresome indeed to follow him
in detail, and I shall content myself with proving,
from his own words, that the miraculous Boy is no
wonder; for in answer to my observation, that it
would be time enough. to bring him on the London
Stage whati he is qualified by years and experience
for such a situation, Mr. Josupst Wsssote says,
" So, then, when heteases to be a 'wonder he may
be allowed to appear." Is' not this, Mr. Editor,
an admission that the Boy is oft) wonderful in play.
ing so noel/ because he is so ycvng, and that if he ,
Were older his shine, would be nothing more than
what might be expected at his time ut But.
he afterwards mehtions Giseiticx, whom lie calls
the Buyss prototype, and yet confidently declares
that the Boy is superior us, this traotype, affirming,
id" in att/nitrOphe which savours ut Moorfietit, that
Silmistssag never had so just, so clear, so die.
gait, a Cumito.ntator." Nothing can be more absurd
arty inconsisten, than this panegyrical rant, for if
the Boy's attlog would not be surprising it lie were
(441", then there most have been a thousand Cont.
Ortl44tors a, clear, as elegant as himself.
Ml. ArsoroN steins inclined to suppose that I am
veteran ~t the London boards,. afraid of only
Sliirtsteringr hereatter, in comparison with his
"bright Star of the Evening." According to this
Isarrow.minded conception, it may be inferred that,.
in, his opinion, n,:budy can be solicitous for any
Hass of men without being one of the number. 1
know nothing of this same Mr. W error, and do not
think him, judging from his Letter; worth); ofin.
spiry or c;onjeCture, else I might suppose that he is
tome disapritited Stroller, who never had merit
enough to make his way to the Metropolis, or some
scribbling Iletager.oa upon theatrical people, in otder
to derive a reflected consequence tram oceasi.,ll4
'connexions with persons of genius, being unable to
'distinguish himself by any talents of his own. And
now, Sir, I have done with Mr. joskpli WESTON.
As to the !New' Roscius, much as he has
Ittcaccied attention, his genius is yet to pass through
the most severe ordeal of criticism, the judgment of
a London audience. That he possesses no ordinary
powers I am readily disposed to • believe ; and it
Wanld indicate an obstinate prejudiced mind to con.
teive, that his fame has no foundation but in par.
though partiality may naturally lie suipo%ed

But is would be worse than obstinacy and prejudice,
an stiffer admiration of juvenile talent to annihilate
all regard for the established merits of those who

advantages to pause before they determine to bring

(Cantinuecl fi.om.ieaterdasit Sun.)

HENRY WELLESLEY TO MARQUIS WELLESLEY,

HIS BROTHER.
-Loam, Jay 28, zBO3.

MY DEAR MORNINGTON,
I have ju,t learned from Lady WELLESLEY that
an Overland Dispatch will be sent off on the 28:11,
and I hope this Letter will reach you in time to
enable you to make preparations for quitting India
in January next. I shall now communicate to you,
as well as possible, every thing that has taken
place, in regard to India, since my arrival, and
then you will be enabled to judge what degree of
support you have to expect from the present Mini.
stets, anti whether the Board of Controul has not
been actually transferred from the Council to the
Court of Diretiors. ' I arrived in London in June,
and immediately waited on Lord CASTLEREAGH,
who received me with the greatest politeness. He
spoke of you in the most favourable terms. He ap.
roved of all your measures ; but at the same time,
it is perfeelly evident, that he cannot obtain what
the Court of DireCtors has resolved not to grant.—
He spoke a greatdeal of the College, and appeared
to be fully convinced of the importance as well as
the necessity of the institution. He believed he
should be able, he said, to make the Court of Di.
rectors consent to its contingence according to your
plans with some modifications, which you would
not thick of much consequence. He told me, that
the Direetors had written to him on this and other
subjeas several very interesting Letters, and that
nothing could be more disagreeable than the situa.
tion in which he was placed. I told Lord CASTLE.
REACH, that on this occasion the Court of Direc.
tors had decidedly broken their word, for one of
the principal conditions on which you was to remain
still a year in India was, that they should not.at
all interfere. in. your nominations ; that they had
displaced a man who had passed through all the in.
fetior ranks in the service of the Company.
I then told him, that your health was very good,
and that there, was no sacrifice you was not ready
to make for the public service ; but that I thought
it impossible you could remain in India beyord Ja.
nuary next, unless you were strongly solicited on
that subject by. His Majesty's Ministers, and by the
Court at DireCtors ; that in regard to His Majesty's
Ministers, I thought they were of opinion that
your stay in India was a thing very desirable under
many points of view ; and that in regard to the Court
of Directors, they ought to know whether they
wished for it or not.
He made me no reply to the first point. In re-
gard to the second, he was very explicit, for he
told me, that the Court 'of Directors had been so
incensed on account of the opinions which you had
manifested in some of your Dispatches
(which
proves
that they have not the least idea of the true inter..
eats of India, and that in this respal they are ob.
stinate fouls), that he was persuaded, tile), would
rather wish to see you resign, though it was impos.
sible for them not to acknowledge that your stay in
India might be very useful to the public intele.r.
In another conversation I had with Lord CASTLE.
REAOH, lie spoke a great deal of the Mahratta
got iations; and I succeeded in convincing tom of the
justness of your measures at Pontiati, and of the
great advantages that must result from them if we
should establish our influence in that Court. He
again asked me, if you had come to a
.fixed deter.
minstion in regard to the period, of your return to
England ? I repeated what I had said to him on
another occasion ; to which he [mote at/reply. He
spoke to rte of the nomination of BARLOW, and
asked me if I .thought you would approve of it ? I
told him Let s. u had the best opinion of naitoow ;
—hut th.; t you thought no Servant of the Company
ought to succeed to the General Government.—l
told him also, that the new nomination was useless,
as BARI. )W had been previously destined to succeed
you provieinnally ; and that it was better to wait
for your return, before any person was presented for
this new nomination. In my opinion, there is a
certain secret intrigue in regard to the nomination
of Baotoowoand it is as follows When the Mini.
sters proposed Lord Wm. BENTLNCK for Madras,
the Court of Direftors made the most formal ob.
*lions to that nomination; but they ware at length
obliged to yield, consoling themselves with the
itica that one of their own servants would tie ap.
pointed Governor. General.
I saw ADDINGTON at a dinner given by Lord
CASTLEREAGH. He spoke to me of you in the
most pompous and most affeCtionate terms. He
spoke to me also of the nomination of BARLOW, as
a measure that ought to he very agreeable to you.
The result of my conversations with Lord CASTLE.
REACH have convinced me that Ministers feel the
importance of your contitioanee in India,and that they
are very desirous you should remain there ; but that
they are not sufficiently strong to contest that point
with the Court of Directors, who are equally de.
termined to force you to return. I think they might
make new and successful attempts to induce the
Court of DireCturs to solicit the prolongation of
your stay ; but, after having seen them recently
violate the engagement they entered into, !am to
interfere in any of your nominations, it would
neither be prudent nor dignified to take any step
which might give reason to mope& that you wished
to remain in India, or thatillty other motive but a
full persuation that it, is only for the public good,
could induce you to remain an hour longer than the
period you had fixed for yout return.--I received
from the President a civil, but a very cool recep.
He spoke to me of ameliorations in cow.
tierce, but did nut say a word of my personal aer.
vices. He seemed disposed to find sonic fault in
every thing that we did at Poonah, and we separated,
after a conversation of ten minutes, with his telling
me that he had so much bosiness, that lie had not
had time to read the Dispatches (though they had
been five days at the India Hulse); hut he hoped to
have frequent opportunities of talking with me on
the affairs of India. I have not seen him since
(though I remained a fortnight at London to have
an opportunity); and the Court had not even the
civility to ask me to one of the dinners which are
given every Wednesday. I have since beets obliged
to return to Chester House, on account of toy health,
which is still very bad.

Ai:other titotiq...which inriutet int to wish for
your return, is the situation of the different Parties
in Engitrul. I suppose you have received a letter
on this suhjeet tram Lord GRENVILLE ; hut I will
tali you every thing I know, and who'', hatt in part
from an intimate friend of PITT.

It 111,[e4tS that ANDINGTON proposed some weeks
ago to Puri to join the Ministry, on certain condi-
tions. Pitt, on this overture of ADOINGTON, he. •
gam a Negotiation with him ; explained the condi-
tions on which he wished to form pact of the Mi.
nistry ; declared that he would not insist on the
introduelion of any person. to whom the KtNc
might have some ohjeCtion; hot that he would in-
sist ohthe whole affair being kept secret until it was
totally arranged ; and th.:t, at the same time, he
would reserve to himself the power of withdrawing
from the Negotiation, should it be conceived that
his services could not he useful to the public good.
On these conditions he gave the outlines of his
Plan to ADDI NCI ON ; mentioned several persons
wham he wished to propose, ageing whom was Lord
GR ENVI to declare, LE ; still, however, continuing
that he would not introduce any person in opposi.
tion to the KING, but that hi would reserve to
himself the Power of retiring. A.butiscrox pro.
posed this Plan to his Colleagues, who rejated
and the Negotiation was broken off.
At present all ADDINGTON'S friends dechtee that
Putt refused to join the Ministry, because he wish.
ed they would allow him to introduce Git EN V 1 I. L
&c. NTT, as you must have seen, has since op.
posed ADDINGTON in the Huse of Common", and
they are no longer on speaking terms. Lord Gitts-
v ILLS (who is the organ of CANNING) told me that
PITT has such a contempt for ADDINGTON, that he
would not at present set with him on any conditions
whatever; at the.same time PITT daily opposes in
the House of Commons the Defence Bill, as a Coun.
seller would do land by the means which he employs,
he has rendered it fit for answering the proposed
end, which it
.never otherwise would have done.
On one occasion he divided the 'Mime, and, to the
astonishment of every body, the division was fifty
Members. I nevertheless think, as many others do,
that it is impOsale things should long remain on
their present. footing, aid I believe that PITT Wiol

if Purr were ei t the head. What do you think,

M. DAVID SCOTT (" A St/I0!4T INTERETING LET.
Tk..R")TU THe MARQUIS WELLESLIIY.
Dimoinald,i3tb jul.ys 1803.
Since the 28th of March, when I left
town, I have necessarily given up all kind of Cm.-
respondence, except some private communications
with certain Mtonbers of the old Administration,
who appear always tis preserve their former attach-
ment to you, and who, by their consolatory and
ofoiglog letters, have enabled me to judge of the
spirit of- Parties in London. The following, is a
sketch of their contents, on the accuracy of which
You May rely
In the month of May there was every appearance
of Mr. PITT'S return to Administration. Mr. AD.
DINGTON was not at alt disinclined to make way for
him; but he was not pleased with Mr. PITT's in-
sisting on bringing Lord GeIINVILLE 4110 the Ad.
ministration with him. Circumstances alone must
have guided Mr. PITT in ptoposing Lord Gum-
r• loos to the KI NG. But this is certain, that he
could nut hav,e taken the Government upon himself
unless he was certain of being at liberty to make to
the KING whatever propositions he should think
proper, in order to enable him to conduil his At.
ministration in the most efficacious manner. I Le..
fieve' firmly that he would nut accept the Govern.
met-1i unless expressly called to it by the K.- IN. 0 him.
self, with whom only he would make all secondary
'arrangements.
As tor Lord Me ovi o or, he did not appear dis.
posed to return to Public Business ; but it Mr. Pt TI
had taken it in his head to fecal him, which would
certainly have happened had he resumed his place in
Administration, his Lordship would have mode no
opposition. In this case, though, from taste, he
would have preferred the India Department, yet I
imagine he would have tol.:en that which Mr. PITT
tgight have thought most prover so consign to him,
with, the view ot strengthening his Administration.
Such was the state of affairs in May. It is .I.lppotted the
Ktisc had ordetra Mr.. ADDINGroN to communi.
case to Mr. Purr his cOoseot, that he (Mr. PITT)
should iesutne his situation of Prime Minister. But
after the opposition which Mr. ADDiNGrori has
experienced doting his Administration from Lord
GRENVILLE, it is not surprising that he should tit.;
clam ogaihst his immediate return.
.In fine, it WGII!d
appear that the KING, with a view of forminta more
vigorous Admioistration, was desirous that. Mr.
PITT should be at its head, and this, I prestune,
more from policy than favour.
But, on the other hand, Mr. PITT wants all or
nothing. The princioles of thi. idea Were di closed
in the sieecli ot Lord ME LVILLI, in the House of
Peers, when, instead or condemning the conduct of
the new Administtation, he moved the Postpone.
ment of the Debate. This was agreeable to his
past conduct, since he always blamed the Peace, the
idea of which he never could endure, thoogh he op.
proved ot the general measures of Administration.
Mr. PIT r, on the contrary, declared himself in
.favour ot itte and it was not until he sr.‘!,:e
in the H lose ;Jf Co mmGas, that it was known 'he
vo,Uki liyhow the same lime of conduet as Lora:r:rL.
VILLE. It 'Would be difficult f r rue to say Low far
this has been agreeable to the Public.

MR. SAM. JOHNSON TO WM. t'ETRIE; COUNC T
LOR, AT MADRAS, tioATlin AVO.
Your Letter of the 6,h of last January, to D. S.
appears to me in argumentative 4nci satisladory de
fence of yoUr comitia in the delicate and difficult .
situation in which you were plAced since your last
return to Madras. You appear to have been.ot
nion, that if D. S. had been Chairman of the Court,
of Direttors, the Noble Marquis would not have
been solcited to continue Governor another year.--•
The fad is, and I communicate it to you in perfeet
confidence„
.that it was in consequence of a commu.
niCation by I). S. with Ministers on this. subjea,
that the Chairman was prevailed on to submit that
proposition, without at all having any suspicion
who was the person by whose means the b9stness
had been arranged. On the arrival of Lord M.
137NTINCK a new.order of things will take place,
and I then hope your situation in the Council will
be much niore agreeable than it has been during the,
Government of his predecessor. Lord Cr iV E has
given the most grievous offence to a great majority.
of the Court of.Dirtaors; by ~the Letter which he
bad declared it his intention to leave on the Table.
of the Council at—Madras, previous to his departure.
It•contains some passages which can he construed
into nothing short of dirett and premeditated insu:t.,
Whenever my opinion on this suhject was a:ked, I'
never hesitated to declate, that I thought his Lord.
sh;oshou:;i re.ealled from the service. I tinny
of instances where the Commander of a Vessel has
been thanked for Chingin the destination of his
Vessel. But, seriously ,speaking, it is a matter wor.
thy of. conside,ation, how means ate to be devised
for punishing those guilty of abusing the authority
of the Court of Directors, so often compromised' by
their Governor in India.

By the .New-Yurk Papers to the r4th ulr, which

HAMILTON having been committed in the Stwe of
New-Jersey, the Grand Jury did not feel ,itlthorised
to-take cognizance of it ; but (says the New York
