sIR,

PAINTERS complain that there are some persons
whO possess so little distir.st expression of counte-
rnioce, as to render it extremely difficult for them to
represent a striking likeness. Future Historians
will experience all this difficulty when they have to
delineate your Charafter. Speciousness and plausi-
bility, which no-man possesses in so high a degree
a; yourself, are narks which conceal real charaaer—
these -are used with some dexterity jo make every
ilian who has any intercourse with you satisfied
-with
.you, and I understand a little flattery is also
generally introduced to make him satisfied with
himself. Indeed it is necessary that you should
call every thing in aid to sustain your high preten-
sions, but those qualities which supported you as
speaker of the House of Commons, will not support
you as Minister of the Country. You filled the
Chair respectably,—if I were to say you filled it
with ability, I must look for the improved Rules
and Regulations which you suggested for the con-
ducl of the business of the House of Commons—l
must look f: r new and improved Parliamentary Law,
or fur striking decision upon that which is already
established.; but for these things I should loose in
vain. If I lock for general attention to individuals,
for conciliatory manners and for compromising satis-
fitaorily all the difficulties that occurred, I see dis-
tinaly the foundation of that reputation which you
there acquired, and I will venture to assert that you
tviii never fill any office with so much credit to
yourself, or advantage to the Country, as that of
which I am speaking. I say advantage to the
Country—because every body will admit that you
preserved the order of the House with strianess at
a time, when, to serve Jacobin purposes, a disposi-
tion prevailed, in some quarters, to lay aside all
forms—in so doing you rendered useful service.
As a Statesman, Sir, you never can be eminent—
the habit of your mind is always to resort to Com-
pr.l47;te instead of decision, and you never appear to
venture to form an opinion, until you have collected
that of the Public, and from that opinion you never
dare to differ. I have frequented the Gallery of the
House of Conarions for the last ten years, and you
seem to me, in public speaking, always to have so
much the fear of committing yourself before your
cyes, and accompaey your opinion therefore with so
many qualifications, that it is very difficult to dis-
cover with precision wha( you *really think upon
any subjea, Even upon the Catholic question, upon
which you published a Speech a few years ago,
there is room to doubt, from the manner in which
you have expressed yourself, what were precisely
your sentiments upon this subjea. As soon as
you have uttered a loose.and indefinite sentence, I
hotr one of the Reporters in the Gallery ask,
" What did (ha: mean ?" An explanation is given
bY 3 bye-stander, but the explanation is scarcely
uttered before the next sentence you pronounce de-
stroys the explitoation, and throws the whole into
inextricable doubt' and perplexity ; and these Re-
vortets all agree that your Speeches are more diffi-
cult to.decail than those of arty other Soealeer in the
House.

Those who see you from the Gallery of the House
of Commons will allow you to be an rfalde, if not
an able. Minister!, Yuu have a smile ready fur the
most intimate, a nod for those less familiar, and a
612,, for all. Now, Sir, lam nut averse to digni-
fied and becoming attentions, or conciliating man-
ners; a Minister -should be free in his intercourse,
attl as easy of access as his avocations will alloVsi—
if he go beyond this line (and, believe me, you pass
iv very far) his civility becomes disguiting obsequi-
ousness, and his attentions, abject and degrading
servility, Canvass, if you please, the Members of
Parliament, but do not canvass- them by shaking
their hands and smiling in their faces, but by the
avowal o!:. sentiments which call forth their respel
and admiration, and by the proposition and adop-

tion'of measures which are calcufged to benefit the
Country.
I'mnst suppose (however difticult it is to entertain
such an idea) that you consider yourself fully qua.
lifted for the high station you or certainly you
could not reconcile it to your conscience to remain
there at such a moment as the present, and expose
to hazird the best interests of die Nation. If this

be your opinion, you furnish indeed a strong proof

of the vanity of Human Nature, and of the diffiCulty
of attaining that knowledge which is recommended.
44 our best stody, " the knowledge of one's-self."
I am, Sir,

Yotir obedient Servant,
CRUO.

SOLEM QUI3 33.IERE FALiUM AUDEAT

LONDON, JANUARY 21,.1804.

Tuts morning one Hamburgh Mail, that of the
:lte of tile 6th inst. arrived. Th: following arc
its principal contents:

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 28.--,On the i ith the
Turkish Flotilla returned to this Harbour, except-
ing the Admiral's Ship, which arrived five days
later.

Letters from Alexandria bring advice, that on
the 24:11 of Oluber two Capidgi Bashis couriers
arrived there from Constantinople, who immedi-
ately repaired to the Turkish Governor, ALI
P4sHA, io the Fortress of Alexandria. Jt is be-
:if;ved that they brought Imperial full! powers and

ratifications with respeft to the Negotiation/
commenced by the Agents sent by the Beys
to the Divan. After the arrival of thete Com-
znissioners, the Turkish Commandant endeavoured
to prevail on the Beys to withdraw from the city
of Alexandria, and wait in the vicinity the result
of the Negotiations. But to this they refused to
consent, and demanded that the conferences should
be held within the city.
The arrears of pay due to the Turkish Troops,
had nearly been the occasion of some sanguinary
scenes, of which ALI PASHA himself would have
been the vi aim, had not same European houses
advanced the money for the Soldiers. All commu-
nication between Rosetta and Cairo was interrupted,
and the want of money, and relaxation of discip-
line, rendered Egypt a scene of devastation and
confusion,

Thew English Minister, Mr. DRummoND, took
his departure hence on the 17th inst. in a small
Galley, in which he will cross the Black Sea.
The French Ambassador has frequent conferences
with the. Turkish Ministers.

Tile English have taken and carried into Malta a
Russian Ship, the cargo of which they supposed to
be French ; hut it appears that it was nor.
Coßrtr, OCT. 3o.—A Turkish Fleet of ten
Ships of the Line, three Frigates, and some smaller
vessels, has anchored in the Harbour of Modore and
Comte.

The Officers of an English Frigate which lies
in our Road, have 'frequent conferences with the
English Minister here. Though we are not ex.
ally informed of the subjed of these conferences,
it is believed that they relate to the provisioning
of seven Ships of the Line of Admiral NELSON'S
Fleet, which are to join the Turkish Fleet. Time
will furnish an elucidation of the plans which are
now forming.
BRUNN, DEC. 22.—According to accounts from
the interior Countries of Turkey, the plague has
made its appearance at several places.
MALAGA, Dec. Io.—The distemper here is now
so much diminished, that instead of So or 90, rot
more than 6o persons die daily.
FRANKFORT, Dsc. 3o.—The report that Gene-
ral DEsoLLEs, with i z,soo Troops, had began his
march on the tsth of December from the Terri.
tort' of Osnaburg for Holland, is exaggerated, at
least with re:Tea to the number of the Troops.

VIENNA, DEC. 24.—This day several Couriers
arrived here from Paris, with Dispatches for the
French Ambassador, Citizen CH AMPAGNY, who,
it was remarked, immediately after had several long
conferences with Count Con ENIZEL, the Imperial
Minister for Foreign Affairs.

We understand that advices have been received in
Town from St. Petersburgh, which positively state
that Russia is arming with considerable vigour, not,
however, for the purpose of interfering in the War
between this Country and France, but to proteft her
Ally Denmark, threatened with an Attack from
the marauding Forces of the Corsican Usurper.
Under whatever pretence Russia arms, we cannot
but consider the circumstance as highly favourable
to the interests of this Country.

ADVICES are said to have been lately received
from Madrid, of a very interesting, nature. Letters
of good authority state, that Armaments are tnaking,
in all the Ports of Spain, for the purpose of co.operat-
with France against this Country, and an open
rupture is expeEted to take place at 110 very
distant period. These Letters further state, that
Overtures of Peace have been made to BoNA-
PARTE from the British Government, through the
medium of the &panish Government, and the Spanish
Ambassador at Paris, which, it is added, the First
Consul received with great insolence and contempt.
We hope, for the honour of our Country, that this
information is incorrect or untrue, but we under-
stand that private accounts from Spain very posi-
tively state it.

Yesterday the KING felt little or no pain, and
found himself altogether much better.
At two o'clock His MAJESTY held a Privy
Council, which was attended by' the Dukes of PORT-
LAND and ROXBURGH, Lords HOBART and WAL-
SINGHAM, Mr. ADDINGTON, Sir EVAN NEPEAN,
and Mr. FAULKNER.

It was yesterday very currently reported, that
His Royal Highness the lijuKE of YORK was about
to resign his high Office as Commander in Chief,
and to be succeeded by the Marquis CorzNwAws.
There was a strong rumour yesterday, that Mr.
PITT would be speedily recalled to his former high
Official situation. We shall he happy in stating
that there is something more than rumour in this.
Letters of the date of the 4th of December have
been received
from
Lord NELSON'S Fleet: It was
then off Toulon. The Noble Admiral had main-
tained the Blockade of that Port during a course of
the most tempestuous weather ever known in the
Mediterranean, by which his Ships had been some_
what strained, but otherwise his Fleet was in gpod
health and condition.

This nrning Dublin Mails of the /6th and 47th
arrived. They state perfeer tranquillity to have been,
restored to the County of Wicklowi since the SUP.
lender of D,-..,,yer and his gang,
