\Vllaz- could be- expected in France but the active
Itirtision of the same principles, and the probable
Prosezution of the same measures ? Is there any
tili!isla Senator who would be hardy enough, if
the CoBBETTS,:ithe CARTwRIGEITS, the WooLERS
the GALE JONeSES, &c. &c., should find it expe-
'lient to abandon their Country, to rise and solicit
permission for them to return, for the purpose of
littering inflammatory harangues .in Spa-fields or
'glace-yard ?--Anil yet these English Worthies,
whatever may be • their principles, or however
dangerous their tendency, are '' all honourable
n'eu," in comparison with the Gallic Traitors,
itehdi, and wholesale dealers in anarchy and
bloodshetL

As it is our wish not only to support the ge-
neral interests and honour of the Empire, but to
advocate the cause of. any meritorious individuals,
who may have suffered consequence of measures
dish policy may have rendered necessary, we
submit the case of Mr. WILKINSON to our Readers
thll day, not doubting, however, that be will re-
"ye from the East India Company every coal-
rensation that may be dictated by justice and li-
terality. The case is simple and obvious. The
'Government abroad had at a certain period abo-
lished the monopoly of saltpetre, by a legal en-
lettlent. Suck a' formal Legislative measure
blight be supposed to be grounded on sound
AOlielr, and it seemed impossible to conceive, that
"t 1" Onvernnient had formally abolished, it would
laddenty have re-established. Mr. WILKINSON,
therefore, entered into contracts for an adequate
IhIPPly of the article in question ; and the sudden
"amption of the monopoly not only put an end
ea
all his hopes, but entailed upon him severe
em-
barrassments. All therefore that he lost, and
Illght reasonably have expected to gain, has been
1111. quired by the Government. To leave him then
Wit-out a just satisfaction for his disappoint- ,
dents, incurred under the idea that what Govern-
-4244 had solemnly annihilated, it would not
ti
1411Ptly re-enact, would be to damp the spirit of
*riterprixe, and to discourage talents that
'fight be powerfully exerted for the general ad-
'tlfiltage. But the magnanimous spirit which the
b
"India Company have always sliewn in reward-
ing the services of distinguished Naval, Military,
44d Civil Characters, excites the fullest confidence
1: the consistency of such just and generous con-
et. It therefore cannot be doubted that the
ildirectors, with the full concurrence of the Pro-
prietors at large, will manifest the same liberal
Sta Per, and, we might fairly add, the same regard
the principles of justice, equity, and the en-
e°uragement •of public spirit on the present occa-
s"), and that Mr. &TON'S plain, temperate, and
Judicious statement, will make a due impression
r'n those who are to decide upon the question.
