TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, I am a young Member of the learnctl profession of the Law, and as I think it right t 6 folhw my Leader, I very seldom read anj of those " pes tiferous" pub!ica tions called Daily Papers ; but hcar ing that you had been unmercifully severe with us Gentlemen of the Long - Rob rewefting-: th-e- im portant event which lately happened at Guildford, I went into a Cotf4e-house, and having prayed g e r of the Papers, I illas absolutely astonished ,at the audacity of your attacks. You do not-seem to be aware that it is libellous to make any tian ridiculous, and a fortiori,. a Barrister, but' you will find this laid down as Law in . several cases which I cannot at present reeolleCt, but which I will send to you-when I have unpacked my saddle bags and taken out my Library. One of the wicked purposes.which you evidently have in view, is to mislead the vublic mind, and to make people confound two PrOfeSS;67,'S, viz. Barristers and Innkeepers, by calling- us both Gentlemen of the Rix. But I am sure the Public will Dever suffer themselves to• be imposed upon by such a gross attempt.; difference between the Iwo professions-are too many and too obvious. In the first place , we get totthe Bar by- eating, while they in .general make their . way by tirinAing. This you.must allow is a !cliff tistipaipn irk our favour. Then, Sir, look at the distinguishing marks of the two Professions, curs is a flack gowa, theirs a b z<e apron—With us the Silk Gowns are always befire tile Bar, with them a_Silk Gown is often seen 6,4;id don't even deal in The same commodities ; we dispose -of our tangs, and they sell their sp;r;rs. • 'e ; . but it is -unnecessary to go on-, it is as absurd to confotind„The two Profeslions as-it would'be to mistake Mr. R for .41L2w;jCzee. -Now, Sir, to come to the . cause in hand, the Gen tleman of the Bar-(as you call him) at. Guildfords states, in the first count' of his declaration, that there was /I , R7k Turt;z ; to this I demur as a'Sbom ' Plea. There was indeed a Calf's head near one end of the table, but nobody liked it. The next allegation that there was a Ham,:but to this there is a 'replication, that all the meat was cut 0a . ..-Upon this part of the case:l have not been able to pick :..4ouLthe_truth, soinustieave ii.as a hone of .ciowten fion between the. parties. lam not quite certain that be makes any allegation . about .(because I , have not yet got an office copy of his declaration) but if he has, we are ready to join:issue With ,itim - upon that-point—There is one part of our complaint to which I candidly confess I think much weight is not due, viz. that we were obliged to send for Pickled Salmon •to make up our dinner, for to say . the truth, I thought it. a very pleasing change to - men who had fed so long upon Gudgeons.. - • Without entering more at length into this subje6t, I contend that we are the best judges in ibis case, beca'use . we have all been bred up in 117 ii I was - five years in nne, aid must must therefore be allowed to know something of the matter. It is true that even at that Ixn, we sometimes had short ecmmons, but as I was then obliged to keep terms, I made no dis_ turbauce about it. Well, Sir, we have All left this man's house, and I don't-think he will, without proper concession, he able to obtain a rvenire de But what can yoo think of a . man, who iii such an im- portant case - as this,' has not retained on Barrister ? But now that we have left one Inn, We are puzzled where to find another ;- there are various opinions and .parties among us, but for my part-my ooje:t if possible, to get tp Ser leant' s have now explained this business vetY clearly, and shall therefore 'conclude, I will not sign . rny , name, but you must perceive that I am not An Advocate for long Bills and Short ConimOns.

Powers, on the subjeCt of the Indemnities, seem every dOy to increase. The French Minister at - Rgisbori• , has presented to he Imperial and Russian Ministers 4 very strong add important D:claration, 'on the part of his Gkrvernment : it states, that if within two ,months from the t7tla August; the Convention of the 4th of June is not ratified by the Diet, the Princes of the Empire arc au/bar:zed to take possession of the Indemniiies which hie been allotted to them. The Convention is not to be discussed Article by Article, but is either to be adopted or rejeCted hi %Ora. The diSpute between Austria and Bavaria, respeaing the Bishop/it- of Passau, stiil-continues: , each party is augmenting his forces, but the business will probably be settled by negotiation.

CAMP BELL, Colonel NEIL,. Consul General at Lisbon ; Count DE TRUCHESS, a German Nobleman, &c. We are glad to find that the cause of General LASNE s' abrupt departure fro:n the Court of Lisbon was of a personal nature, and unconnected with any National object. It was the antient custom inFrance, and it remains the same in many other Countries, or . the Government to farm certain duties :o In -the case of Foreign Midsters i it is well known; there is a general exceptbn to their paying the customary duties of the Ountry, on a certain proportion of articles of Dress aid Furniture, which they may chuse to bring wih them. I n such cases, 'it is usual, where the dutes are farmed, for the Government to make good he amount of them to the Lessees, but in every inMilce the p:ack ages .a re under the co, — niAkn.cf 31 7 tt.

On the baggage belonging to" General lASNES being landed at Lisbon, the Officers insisted en' the usual search, which being refused, a dispute arose, but they persisted in the exercise of their rig-ht.— General LASNES, presuming on .the power of his Court, wrote a very rude letter to M. de PINTO, the Portugaese Minister, peremptorily insisting on the dismissal of those Officers, or he should leave Lisbon.

' The following are the particulars of the mode of proceeding at Paris against the •English Journals. At ten in 'thernorning all the Officers of the Police spread themselves through the coffee-hotises, and the re:id ing-rooms of the Palais Royal ; 'they instantly, and vvithout sheaving any order, ' , seized and carried off all the daily, weekly, and month.ff pubfleations they coald find,.r.m4 bore therir 2d - the-loot of the great staircase of the Tribunate„where they were burned in the - midst of a circle.formtd by the Invalids; of whom the guard of that Body is tomposed.

DE HIT G E L , principal Commissary of the Empire, has solemnly exchanged his full powers with those bf the Deputation of the Empire; and • some hours after, M. D'Aut txt notified to all the Sub-Delegates of the States, that he expetied the transmission of their full Powers, and that the Deputation would be con. stituted by the majority of Sub-Delegates legitimat `, ed. In consequence of this invitation, the Count de GOERTZ and the Baron de RESH B ERG have commu nicated to M. D'ALBINI their full powers, the for mer as Sub-Delegate of Brandenburg, and the latter as Sub. Delegate of e ßavaria. The other Sub-Dele gates are not yet legitimated. Yesterday Citizen LAFORET presented to the Baron D'AL s Ist, with the Convention of the 4th of June, a Declaration of his Government, of great importance. The same Declaration was shortly after transmitted to him, together with another Copy of the Convention, by the Minister Ple nipotentiary of Russia. It is asserted that this Declaration• States, that if in two months from the 17th of August, the Convention shall not be ap proved and ratified by the Diet, all the Princes and States of the Empire shall be authorized of full right to take possession of the Countries , and distriels allotted to them, M. D'AL BI N 1 will transmit these Declarations of the French and Rus sian Governments to the Deputation, as soon as it is constituted. Then the Convention, which gives a new form to the Germanic Empire, wilt be printed, and officially published. The Deputation will discuss it en 77,47i5e, ‘without re garding particular articles, and announce at once, whether it will. aiLipt the whole. That\Assembly will be occupied by the discussion of varia2as im portant topics which are not rettilt. , PV by the Convention, such as the dispositiOn'rCrelati ve to the Austrian rossessions in Swabia, of which the Con vention takes no notice ; debts, and several other important objets. It will follow, in these delibe rations, the conduet pursued by the Deputation of the Empire at the Congress at Rastadr. The Magistrates of Ratisbon have received a positive assurance, that that City will be Main, rained in its Independence. The Bishopric of Ra_ tisbon is decidedly ceded to the ELECTOR of MAY ENG E, as well as all the Abbeys and Corporations situated in its Distrift. It will result, that more than half the Buildings and Houses in Ratisbon will belong to the Arch-Chancellor of the Empire. It is regarded as a decided point, that M. de DAHLBERG will be maintained in the dignity which he occupies, and that the Prince Vic rbx. ANTH 9 Ny,of, Austria, will be appointed his Coad jutor. ~ , ' The Imperial Cities who do not lose their Inde.: pendence, solicit with much earnestness the main.. tenance of the third College of the Diet ; and there is reason to believe that their request will be corn. plied with. VIENNA ) AUG. Is. - -The difficulties that had arisen with the Diet of Hungary, are happily ad justed.

Ambassador at Ye, tersburgh, has received orders from his Court, to demand that the Indemnities of the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY should be rendered more considerable than they are by the Convention of the 4th of June. The same demand has been made at Paris and Berlin. MUNICH, Auc. zz.—General DERO z, the Corn- Mandant of the Bavarian Troops upon the Inn, has formally protested against the occupation of ,Passau, by the Austrians, and has communicated his pro test to General FRANK and the Bishop.

HARBURGH, Aug. 20.—The proceedings re° speding the Prince of SALM KYRBOURG are finish• ed, and sent to Vienna, in order that His LArE. RX,AL MAJESTY may pronounce the sentence.-- , The Prince confessed his guilt, and demandeS that the arrest under which he had been placed since Oflober last, should serve for his punishment. TO Burgomaster GELLER replied--«' I am astonisheA yon can consider.the arrest as a punishment. since they have given you 3o ecus (6 Louis of France) per week, I wonder you did not request to- - 10 'tinder arrest for life.
