TXURSE)AY, JANUARY 18, 1814.

An answer has been received by,pince STAR-.
RE )IB ERG, , to thp arspatches sent over by MAYNTz,
the Messenger. Those who persisted in their as-
.
tertian, that a negotiation had commenced, now
assure us, with equal positiveness, that it is entirely
put ,an end to by this answer. When the rumour
of a negoti?tion.was first circulated, we contradiaed,
it upon the best information. We stated Oaf', there
was no foundation for the report of a pacific
,over-
ture from France, and added, that we believed that
the report originated in some,general expressions of

a'wish for the restoration' of peace, which were
said to be contained in one of the dispatches from
the Austrian Government. With respea to the

traordinary times, and who seemed to feel a kind 0„..,1*
horrbr in following any precedents, except those;
"which. bad been set by the • Revolutionary Go,
ments of France. We should have beard_ the
same d6.Strines over again, if teport had made the
Marquis WELLESLBY adviie his Majesty not to an-
swer the Letter from himself, and the Marquis would
have been exposed to quite n much abuse by the
Party, as Lord GRENVILLE' was on the occasion of
BooNArAßTE's,celebrate'd Letter in 1800.

We have reason to believe that the attack made
• .
Upon the Island of Bourbon was not made with
any view. to the permanent retention of :the
ISland, and that it was abandoned as soon as the
ship;, stores,- &c: had been secured. The possession
of I lie bland of Bourbon, without the Mauritius, would
be useless., becatise it possessds no harbour, and in
the pre,,ent unfortunate postnre of affairs in India,
a suai,,ient 'n;.!n-ili.er of .troops. could not perhaps
be ,:arLd le,r ;In atiack upon the latter. We
speak, however, only from coujeeture, because.
no official information has. yet been received upon
the subject.

question of a _negotiation, in the present situation
of affairs, we are surprised how it could enter into
the contemplation of any rational man. Great Bri-
tain could not negociate but in conjOnetion' with her
Allies, Spain and Portugal, and we cannot suppose
. thpt4iCONAPARTE would easily abandon his :plans
upon these Countries, particularly the fortner.•
is also reported, that BuoNApARTE has Written a
Letter to the King, and ha's requested that his Ma-,
jesty would deign to return an answer from himself,
and that Ministers . have advised his Majesty to
comply with his request: To this report Wodo not
attach the slightest credit, and indeed 'should have
hardly thought it worth notice, if it had not been for

the phrposo of making a few' observations upon the
manner in which th;s subjea talcen up in a Morn=
, ing, Paper devoted to opp,sition. It is obvionl that the

The Margrtis WEr.LESLBY has been attacked in a
Hording Paper of this day, on account of some re-
gulations respecting Newspapers which that Noble-
.m 4n thought proper to adopt while he held the ar-
duous.and important situation of Governor-General
in India ; and hence the writer infers, that his Lord-
ship is likely to be adverse to the 'f'ree4otu of the
Press in this country. But is there any such analogy
in the two ,:.nations as will warrant such deduc-
tions ? The situation of our settlements to India is
very different from that of this country, and nay
demand very diffeirent measures of domestic t;egulA-
tion.

Paper alluded to attaches no sort of credit to this
ttjrg.; tnit still an opportunity of attacking- the Mar:,
Luis WELLESLiY could not be emitted; -adeerdingly
he is gravely Censured' tor giving such unconstitu-
tional advice, and a hope is ex,pressed, " that no
Minister- of the Kuw ill' presume to set I hose' rule's,
so wisely estahlisbed.by (MI-forefathers, aside," This
Lingo4ge is certai;dy not such as we'should have ex-
peAed from such a quarter, and could only have
proeeede.d from .a determination to attack Ministers

It is well known that DUANE, one of the
most seditious scribblers now in America, was in
India, where he was the t.,ditor. of • public, print;
and where he endeavourol to taint the. principles of
our countrymen. It was found necessary *ci-ordet
that man to leave our Settlements, and 'he carried
his Jacobinical principles to America, Where he was
sure of.a good market for them. There cane, be little
doubt that DUANE left many persons in India
Who were not unfriendly tjo his doctrines, for,
otherwise, .he Would hardly have ventured to
to give them birth in that quarter, What then
would have been thought of the Marquis WELLES-
LE
if in the high and important situation which'
he held in India, he had suffered these, doCtrines to
be cirenlated„, and th9se controversies to take place
in public Newspapers,
.which might have endangered

political dissensions among out: countrymen, but
which might hare'extencle.d -their influence among
the Native POWers, and gradually have seasoned their
minds with principl4 calculated to undermine our
authority. Wes the r..nouyinous Writer pretend
to knew enough of the state of afEnrs in
India, 'at the time that the Marquis WELLESLEY
deemed it proper to ique the regulations in question,
to justify his. observations?—:No, for he contents
himself with a reference to the doctrines, usages, and:
legal authorities of this country,: which, for ought
be knows, are wholly inapplicable to the statenf our
Eastern possesSions. The politica4
,copclnet,' of the
Marquis WELLESLEY here, as well as 'abroad, should
detertnine ht charatiter with his countrywten, and
the anonymous writer will not be able to produce
one sentiment ever uttered by his Lerdship, iq hii
legislative capacity at home, which will place him
in any other light then that of one heartily attached to .
the true principles of, the Constitution. 'lle stood
atlively for Ward when that •ConstitutiOn was en-
dangered, or thought to be so, by the prevalence of
French principles, soon after. thedreadful event of
the. French Revolution, which not only ensnared.
Vulgar minds, but seduced seine, persona, who, by
their talents and education, Might be conceived to
have been sufficien* fortified against the infettion.
The Marquis then, in the 1-I;inse of Commons, with
great eloquence, resisted the insidious deetrines of
France, and upheld those of the British Constitu-
.
tion; but he said' nothing that. could be in the least
'degree construed into an hostility to the, essential,
rights of Englishmen, and all the lust freedom of
the ENlist) Piesi. To revert then to tneasures which
policy might imperiously require in India, and to
endeavoUr to bring o:liirn it .on his political re.pwa.
lion in this country, indicates either personal en-
mity, or such a narrow-minded view of,things, as
tends 'to disgrace the writer, not ths- distinguished
Charaaer a,ainsi whom his feeble shafts have been
directed on this vceasion.

upon every ground, wi:hout any regard to justice or
consistency,- We certainly do not wish:to see the.
