' You are going to confer with a man whom I Vhw well at Petersburgh , and who is , and always has been one of the most warm and dangerous enemies of France ; it is necessary then that you should know hiin well . I inform you that 130 psrson has more knowledge of men and things ; that no one knows better how to conceal a secret , and to guess or draw out the secrets of others . ' The remainder of the letter contains reflections on his Lordship's character ,
which we decline inserting . In consequence of the above loiter , and of some oilier articles , which appeared in the Redacleur , Lord Malmesbury , it is said ,, wrote to the Minister for Foreign Affairs to complain of the insults bestowed upon him daily in the Redacleur , and to demand whether they were to be considered as official , because they are inserted in a journal published al the expence of Government . It is added , that the Minister received orders to reply tc- lhe Ambassador in the frankest manner , and to assure him that the Government had no hand in those insults ; in this case , it is
probable that they will not permit the same tone to be continued 111 their journal . EVACUATION OF CORSICA . Gibraltar , Oct . 28 . A Frigate has just arrived from the fleet of Admiral Sir . John Jervis , which brings an account of the Evacuation of Corsica by the English .
