By accounts from Bombay, to the end of
August, it appears that his Excellency, Gover-
nor Et.rntmsToNE, had been obliged, in order to

perty by the Pirates in the Arabian Gulph, to
dispatch a squatlrOn— for the purpose. The fol-

-A more serious disturbance has arisen, which
the exertions of • the Most Noble the Governor-
'General, and the Governor of Bombay, to settle
amicably, have •failed to accomplish. Some time
its the Month of June last, a Vakeel (or .Ambas-
dor), from the Sindians, a nation situated on
the Indua, was, proceeding to treat with the Go-
vernnient of Bombay, on some point, and whohad
a body of armed men with him ; they were taken
to be= marauders, so common in that part of our
territories (as a body of men called Cossacs and
uSts had just plundered in' the district), and a
scuffle- took place, in which the Vakeel. was um-
-fortunately killed: It was entirely a mistake, as
he had 'sent no account of his advance. The
llOnourable Mr. Elphinstene lost no time in ex-
plaining the matter, and the Sindiaos appeared
'to be satisfied ; but with the ; treachery that is
their - cliaracteristic., they invaded Kutch, plun-
dered a village, _and wrote a most impudent dis-
patch to the -Government of Bombay. In con-
sequence of this, a force of 4,000 troops was as=
senthled in Kutch, under the command of the
1-16nourable Colonel Lincoln Stanhope. Mr.
phinstone, then sent an agent to the Vakeels of
the: Emirs of the Sindians, in the hope of an mi-
..
cable termination, and stated to them the force
with' which he was resolved to prevent their further
; but they thought lightly-of our pre-
parations,- defied our power, and called in the aid
'of 'their neighbouring 'allies, and they stopped
all commercial intercourse with the British Go-
verrunent. • The affair now assumed a serious com-
plexion. - The SindianS can muster a force
of between thirty and forty 'thousand .men,
Chiefly - horse, and they threaten us with an
invasion by the Baloohies, whose country
lies to the West of the Indus, and Who are a ter-
ror to their neighbours. Lord lfastings ii most
anxious to preserve peace. The whole or-the
British. territory under his command' had. assum-
ed the most tranquil and flourishing appearance.
Tbe sense of security which the natives enjoy
bad' every where given a spur to industry, and
cliltiVition was making rapid strides. The Com-
ptiny's paper was at a premium, and every thing
prornised a continuance of prosperity and happi-
ness before unknown in the Peninsula. Mr.
Elphinstone cordially concurred with :the Go-
viutriOr.-General in the desire of conciliating all
ianks of the new countries of which we had
gained possession, and it was gratifying. to see the
l'indarees 'and retired soldiers eatpioying them-
selves in cultivating the fields. But it became int-
pdSaible tamelyto submit to thiswanton aggression,
and accordingly an iirmyof 14,000 men is forthwith
to he vserribled, and by the " month of October is,
ea;pected to be in kutelf..: -The. Commander in
Chief is to be-Sir Charles Colville; G. C. B. and
; the second in command Major-General Lionel.
Smith, two • most • gallant Officers, who' possess
the entire confidence of the' Bombay army. Such
are the particulars which we derived yesterday
from different letters received by .oe.ntlernen
frotn:Bombay,. It is not easy to f(iretel fhe eon-
sequences of such a war. -

in order either to sustain them in their disgrace;

or to aver that 4114 no one can Constitutionally

;so degree tainted •by their proceedings. For
our own parts, we know not which class of Ad-,
dresses is .most disgraceful to
.7.qinisters—that
which bravely reprobates, or that which darkly,
strives to .excuse them. But, leaving them out
of.l.he question, we may ask the motives .And
-cause of those Addresses .which-simply express,
at this time, that which it is-every one's duty to
1.4:0 at all times—loyalty to the King ? Are those
‘4l'se counsels and_prudent measures by which his
Majesty. has been reduced to a situation in Which,
it becomes necessary, even for those of his
.sub-
pets who :live by- his-Government, to Ohl) se-
cretly, and thrust out obscurely, declarations of,
attachment to his person ? When the sophist of-
fered.his declamationin favour of the. Military,
talents of Haunihal, tile question was natural.
—Why, :who ever disputed them ? And in the
same manner may we. now. inquire,_ nay we
hope that_ lviajesty. him Self will inquire,
by what series of events, by. what line of policy,
it has ,beCome necessary for any portion of his pea-
ple, even the most suhservient, to tender to him
declamations of loyalty. Surely a system of
government which- had rendered• such. declama,
tions needless would have been a more strong
dication of 'public satisfaction. In the mean
time, if a good administration can gain no strength,
or has no right to claitn confidence from addresses
of that nature of which we have been speaking,
a had one may, as it often has done, prolong its
existence.by the misconduct of its opponents.
Yesterday there was a meeting at Hackney,
where Mr. Wooler appeared. To us it is most as-
tonishing, after the deeided conviction which such
men must feel of the disservice done by their
very names to the cause of liberty and truth,
that they will still obtrude upon public meet-
!.ings. Nay, indeed, the fact is lieymid all con-
- tradiction. ." The children of darkness are in
-their generation said to. be wiser, than the chil-
dren of light." -Ministers, who are unable-to do
good to the state, know_full well what will hurt
themselves : and why, we ask, did they refuse
.to purchase the support• or silence of Cobbett,
by remitting his -sentence of 'imprisonment, but
.that they knew he would be more useful to them
as an ,enemv than
_as an apparent friend or as a
neuter? Most. useful., indeed , ,he .bas' since been
to them ; for never has he since risen, by any
occasional paper or publication, out of that com-
parative obscurity into which we tirst_sunk him,
but his appearance has immediately and substan-
tially told to their advantage; If,
.such men va-
lued. liberty at all, they would forego-precarious
gains and the indulgence of silly-vanity, to the
solid advantage of their country. Most strongly
do we deprecate their appearance at public meet
ings. -They. on the one side, and -Alinisters. on
the other, are really running a race against the
honour, happiness, and liberties of the country.;

There was yesterday. a Meeting at Hackney
to consider of the propriety of petitioning for a
Parliamentary Reform. It will be remembered
-that Mr.. Sheriff. Waithman and his Colleague,
some time since, refused to call this- Meeting ;
but the Duke of Portland, as Lord Lieutenant
of the County, on a Requisition being made
to him, thought it right to comply. On this oc-
casion, Mx. Waithman did not condescend to at-
tend, even as a freeholder, but Wooler, Mills,
and Cartwright were- there as usual. Mr. Peter
Moore was in the Chair, and it rta:,t have been a
treat to him, as well as to his friends, ;LNl*.,srs.
Byng and Whitbread, to hear the sarcasms with
which the. 'Whigs were treated 'by Weuler and
the rest of their Radical allies. This is amusing
enough. The:Whigs have long been tryieg to
curry favour with the mob, by pretending to be
friendly to Reform, in the confident belief
that the Reform called for by the latter would
never be obtained. The abuse heaped on Minis-
ters- by the Thistlewood -or House-breaking Pa-
triots was very agreeable to the high-minded
Whigs, who fancied their game was being very
nicely played for them by,these their dirty tools.
The-Radicals; however, have ,used the -Whigs
for their own purposes, and seem now disposed to-
tun! them off. Lord G rey was accused of de-
luding the people with respect to the measure
of Parliamentary Reform, and the Whigs were
quarrelled with, "not for theie'prineipies, but for
having no principle at all."—This was roundly
stated—the old Whig, Mr. P. Moore, in the
Chair. lie, Of 'cousse, approved' of these senti-
ments, or doubtless he would have left the
room; Mr. Byng was trimming, 'as usual,
between his coescience and his timidity. The
former inclined him to- express disgust, the latter
counselled him to hold Ills tongue. Thus'pulled
'different ways, he could hardly wriggle himself
suthciently into favour to get a model ete share of
applause. IL told the crowd that Annual: Par-
liaments and Universal Suffrage were universally
objected to, and he J'eininded them, that a motion
in their favour on a division had only the two
tellers hi its favour. From this some of his au-
ditory were led to infer that he (l r. Byng) had
no objection to such a project of Reform, if it
could but be carried. Why did he not .hohestly
tdl them that lie had opposed it? Had he given a
vote in its favour;the tellers would not have been
left alone !

doctrine of honouring the King !' Let cis testify

Third, by our gratitude to that Son,. who- so
long supported his Throne, 'and so' worthily
wears his Crown. The delay which took place
in bringinm. forward the Declaration of the Mer-

a'dverse party that the spirit of genuine loy-

but they ItOW perceive their mistake;' that
spirit has been roused into fresh activity by the
clamour raised against it ; signature's to the De-
claration are coming in apace, and We have no
doubt but that the dinner on the .9th will be
one of the most .splendid, most numerous, and
most animated that has long been witnessed in
the City of London. Unless a irian.lxiore staunch

The advices from Madrid- are to the sth inst.
They state that all was tranquil" there, and that
the suppression of -the unlicensed-Political Clubs
had been approVed of by all the respectable part
of the community. A. copy of the Constitution
had been placed in the vault of the great gate of

tifying, and there appeared to be-but-one feeling

of constitutional principles, and • declaring their
determination, if necessary, to die at the post of

The result of the great Derby Meeting was so
important in. its nature and consequences, and
dealt so severe a blow against the system of mis-
representation and calumny in which the Minis-
ters
.and their partisans have endeavoured to in-
dulge, that no otro can be surprised at the efforts
made by them to throw discredit. upon the consti-
tution of. the meeting. To this meeting all the re-
tainers oftheTreasury had beertiopking anycion•A y

seemed-to announce a Ministerial Address, and,
propoKtionate, of course, were. their dismay and
anguish -at the triumph obtained by the truly

immediately provided with topics for censure, the
writers of-the Treasury Journals, with their_ cus-
tomary contempt of facts, set about what
might . be called fishing, for the means of ca-
lumniating the character 'of the assembly, while
