part fhould be wanting TO promote the good
understanding which ought ever to fubfitt be-

The funds declined fill further yeiterday,
and omnium left off at l-2, and the three per
cents. at 81 5-s.-This morning they opened
little better-the former being at 6 Ii, and
the latter at so l-s.-It is idle to pretend that
70 great and rapid a fall has been occaiioned
by any other caufe than the unfavorabe AFFECT

that M. Taeyrand delayed fleeing Lord Lau-
derdale for three or four days after he arrived
at Paris, upon the pretence of being occupied

it is not Admiral Cochrane upon whom harfh
reflections fhould be caa-a brave, active, and
gallant officer, the whole of his conduct affords
us iufficient guarantee that not the lighteft
blame is imputabe to him. If the letter from
ST. Thomas be true, we are fure that he will
juitify himfelf for declining an engagement I'M
der the difparity of force of his own fquadron
to that of the enemy. But why was his force
inferior Why were the hearts of our gallant
flilors to be luffered to- be amoft broken, by
being forced to decline an engagement with the
enemy The harih reflections fhould not be
caft upon Admiral Cochrane, but upon the
administration. Why did they delay 70 long
fendng feet to the Wet Indies Sir John
Warren did not leave Spithead till the 4th Of
June. Six weeks are no long paiiage for a

Wet-Indies till the 18th July. For any thing
the administration knew, Admiral Cocbrane,
inftead ofhayng four ihips of the line, might
have been left with only two; for one of his
fhips, the Veteran, had been fent out, not to
reinforce him but the convoy-the convoy
