PARTY NIISREPRESENTATION.

MR. EDITOR-1f the bold highwayman, in his
aegree, is a preferable character to the nocturnal
assassin, so must -be the bold political accuser to
the anealcing sneerer, who, by inuendo or insinua-
tion, fain would backbite those whom he dare
Lot face Indeed I can only compare the latter
class to the witches of the olden time, who melted
waxen images before a slow fire, or stuck pins
into the effigies of those whom they wished to
iijure

i am led tti these considerations by two at-
tazi.s, during the past week, by the Whig Press,
ant two,V#Sikly estimable Noblemen, whose
Orne-atid..misdemeanour is that of per-
tv,ming their duty to their country, to the ex-
-4:4-:usion of men of great promise but of small per-
formance—of men with whom Party seems to be
ever y; thing—the. Country nothing !
The Whig. Gazette has found out that his Ma-
jesty's ship Carneleon has sailed for the Medi-
teranean, with DEMONT and i'vlAJocci on board,
and complains sadly that the Admiralty should
accommodate them with a King's ship, " al-
fny.,ugh a Royal yacht was refused" to somebody
e:se?

ow, Sir, that Somebody does not appear to
Fare any great predeliction for his Majesty's
ships and vessels, else why was a polacre hired,
requiring a nocturnal watchman, when a man-of-
war ready ? 'And, as for the refusal, I have
a!ready shewn, in your columns, in spite of
:forced dates, that to have obeyed the requisition
for a yacht, under any circumstances, was mo-
rrlly impossible. As for sea adventures that are
2'7.-2r:orally possible, the less that is said the bet-
ter ; but for the case in point, a short answer is
all that is necessary.
The Cameleon sloop of war being in regular
course of service for the Mediterranean, the indi-
-viduals alluded to are permitted to return home
on hoard of her, and that at a smaller expence
than- would take them over land ! Now, can
the Whig Press, or the Radical Press, find fault
with economy, particularly when it is recollected
that to send home these people by sea may be in
.some degree necessary for their personal safety,
in consequence of the misrepresentations of the
Times, Chronicle, &c. &c. &c.? . _ _

So much for the attack on Lord MELVILLF..—
Let us cow look at the slander raked up from
the Sacobinical papers of France and Germany,
to excite popular clamour against Lord STEWART,
And, if possible, to procure his recal from a
.station, where the Radical cause- has nothing
to hope for whilst he remains'. It is very true
that, on the Continent, we are supposed to be a
boring nation, and I have no doubt that, if it
really were necessary, Lord S. has sprit enough
to box the stoutest fellow among them; aye. and
and "pLeck" enough to thrash him to boot:
but is it for a moment to be credited that
Illenna-baeftney coachman would dare so to.be-
have to a British Ambayador as to calf for pugi-
listic vengeance, when even a London Radical
-won!!! scarcely venture on it .'
Yet such is the story again broached by the
Whig Press, making his Lordship knock down
&ate coachmen, and Stage coachmen, with epal
fists, just as t:-:e Poet talks of Death in his v;sits
to mankind--
" Hors puicatmoo pedc,

The.. cones a story of a bridge, the Pons ilsi-
770rUM no doubt, over which nobody was to
drive fase, but over which his Lordship is said to
lace galloped, then to have struck the sentinel,
and, finally, to have been clapped in the watch-

Really-, Sir, I atm ashamed even to•repeat such
trash, unfit even for the tap-rooms to which it is
addressed ; but still it. must be matter of high:
satisfaction to. ail the friends of the Noble Lord,
a list which irclucit)3 all friends to the country,
that higii ns political malice runs, it is now com-
pelled to stoop so lotv.!--7—Yours,

S. GlLcs's 1 arsnt-FitEE SZIFOOL.--Yestetday
bein7 Christma.y-day, the children of this prai'se-
worthy establishment were conducted by .Mr.
rINE4AN, their master, to the '{Fosses of many of
the principal subscribers for the purpose of pay-
ing their annual tribute of respect to their benevo-
lent benefactors ; we observed about 250, neatly
dressed in ne.w clothing. At two o'clock they
ail sat down to a most plentiful dinner of good
old English fare, roast beef and plum pudding,
provided for them at the School-house, 25,
George-street, St. Giles's, by the Treasurer,
THOMAS CLARK, ESQ. We ifild these schools

were established in 1813, for the purpose of
'Educating the Children of the Irish Poor, with-
• out at all interfering with the religious opinions of
•• themselves,or their parents introducing no book but
• ; spelling, copy, and ciphering hooks ex-
c..pted ; and this principle, we are glad to find,
• as, from the commencement, been most scrupu-
lJusly attended to by the Noblemen and Gentle-
mon who patronise and support it. We most
cordially wish them success, and unhesitatingly
• r,.-commend its Nrther support to the notice of
our numerous readers.

A meeting of the Counties of Tiaddington is to
take place on the 27th inst. andxf Dumfries on'
Juvrary, for the purposed taking into consi-
deration the propriety of an Address to his MA-
JESTY on the present state of the Country, ex-
pressive of their loyal attachment to the Throne,
arid of their determination to support our glo-
rious Constitution.agninst all attempts to its sub-

life-boat, towards the building of which the
Ciyn[nit,t:ll. at Lloyd's have subscribed 50 ponols,
it shortly to be stationed near the mouth of the

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

GF.RMAN PAPERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

FRANKFURT, DEC. our diplomatic
circles a chief:subject of conversation is tin
mate alliance which is now forming between
France and Great Britain ; and it is hoped that
this great alliance between these two great
Powers, which have been hitherto enemies and
rivals, will exercise the happiest influence for
the maintenance of peace, and to prevent ambi-
tious.projects. For if we may believe the re-
ports of all kinds which havebeen for some tune
in circulation, the political horizOn i not free
from clouds ; but the wise policy and energy of.
some' Cabinets will find means to avert the evils
with which we seem to be threatened: •
Dec. t is asserted that the-late events at
the Escurial,- and the energy with which the Con-
stitutional Authorities of Spain have addressed
their remonstrances to King Ferdinand, have
caused the Emperor of Russia to change his views
of the Constitution of the Cortes, which is adopt-
ed by the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. This
Monarch now considers it as entirely incompa-
tible with the Monarchical system, and it is said
that the object of the second and last message
sent to Naples, is to demand that modifications
of the highest importance shall be made in it. It
is generally believed that the , Neapolitans will
not have laws imposed upon them by foreigners ;
and, that if they must-yield, they will' yield only
to force, after having made honourable efforts to
assert their independence."
MILAN, DEC. 10.--The Austrian troops have
not made any movement for some time which in-
dicates that military operations are at hand ; only
a great part of these troops has been concentrated
in the environs of Mantus, and disposed so that it
would be able to march in 2=l hours. It has been
observed that these troops do not receive their
orders from Milan, but directly from Vienna.
All the Generals belonging to this army were as-
sembled some days ago at the head-quarters of
the Commander-in-Chief, General Baron Fri-
mont, at Treviso.
BERLIN, DEC. s.—We find that the conferences
at Troppau will finish about the middle of this
mouth, which
.is confirmed by the circumstance
that. Prince Hardenberg is to leave that place on
the'lith for Vienna.

ENNA. DEC. IL—As the Emperor will re-
main at Troppau till the return of.the answer of
the King of Naples to the proposals made to him,
it is affirmed that'he has been invited to defer
the further developement of the Constitutional
System established in his dominions till he has
heard the opinion of the Allied Sovereigns. Here
we.are in general persuaded that the proposed
Congress will not take place this winter, and
there are reasons to suppose that it will be con-
certed next spring. It is thought that Florence
will be proposed as the place of meeting. 'lt is
also thought certain that. the Emperor of Russia
will set out soon to return to St. Petersburgh,
where he intends to be present at the fetes usually
celebrated on New Year's Day..
BATAVIA, Ar:o. lg.—Accounts from Banda
of the 22d of 'duly, say that the old crater of the
volcano Goenong Api, does not burn so fOriously
at prosent, but that the new crater still i,continues
to rage without ceasing. The six spitle planta-
tions at Louthorr had suffered severely from the
ashes discharged from the volcano, and the crop
of spices will be :very small, as the fruit opens
before it is ripe, and falls from the trees, and
many young trees are bpoken short in the
middle.

In Neira the prospect was not much better,
and the whole island had a desolate and melan-
choly appearance. The planters on whom this
misfortune falls are 'thus again disappointed in
their expectations, and after the very unproduc-
tive crop of last year this distressing event will af-
fect them to such a degree, that they will not be
able to pay for the rice and clothing for the slaves
in the plantations.
The Chinese and 'citizens, many of whom had
gardens at the foot of Goefiong Api, where fruit
and vegetables prospered, were mostly obliged
to leave there, and many had not preserved any
thing, not even the ground, which was converted
into a heap of rubbish.
The last newspapers of Bengal, to the 15th
'June, contain little of importance. The cholera
inoi-bus rages dreadfully at Bombay, so that out
of 100 sick died. At Delhi and its neigh-
bourhood also this plagne was not diminished.
At ,Calcutta the "number of deaths in the first
week of June was 60, Which shows a diminu-
tion of the sickness in comparison with the pre-
ceding weeks.
.The connEand of the infantry and cavalry un-
der the orders of the Major-General Commandant
of the troops has lately been given to Major-Ge-
neral Von Gun.—On the 9th another division
of eight .gun=boats nand armed vessels sailed for
Banca. His Majesty's ship-the Tiomp lies in
-the ffitavian roads, and theTendraght corvette,
and the Schildpad schooner lie in the road of
Sourabaya.
• BRUSSELS, DEC. 21.—Her Royal Highness the
Princess Marianne, who has been seriously
disposed for some days, is now recovering.
