The Sun. — London, England, 1805-09-26 00:00:00

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, As the Daily Prints have signified that Mr. MT..- LEY has c.htained a Licence for the EreEtion of a New Theatre in the vicinity , of Drury-lane, and as . be has began his preparations for that purpose, I beg leave, through the medium of your . Paper, to draw public attention to the subjeet. The . recent calamity which happened to the Ciacus must 8-cibly remind us of the fire by .which Mr. AST VEY'S former theatrical Property was consumed, as y ell as of the destruaion ofth,e C)rkiln-Hovsr; and the PANnizioN by the :same dreadful means. It is, therefore, with . f , ;reat that the . Public will hear of the poasibility of having another New Theatre in the. hart of the Metropolis, particularly as that The,:tre is not intended for the regular pur poses of the Drrana, but chiefly for 'Spiaode. This is may a very luterestirig and important platter if the lives and property of the inhabitants of London are. worthy the attention ofGoverinuent. But, Sir, Mr, .A.STLZY has already One Theatreadjoining the Capi tal, and, if I mu rightly, informed,. he has also a concern in the Royalty Theatre. Upon what foundation then can he clairn or solicit the privilege Of having 'a third Theatre in the Capital of the Kingdoin ?. With the same reason he might expeft to be permitted to open a Theatre in . eyery Parish of . the Metropolis. It may be said that Mr. ASTi:EY has resigned his Ann.,hithL;atre to .his Stan. but if' • he has dime so, it was generally understood that be had himselfacquired a fortune by. his Public Amuse ments, and that he therefore generously, btamisely, gave his Son an opportunity of rising to equal opu lence,by equal industry and prudence, in •the profes sion for which he had been purposely educated: If Mr. ASTLEY is to pro': for .all his relations by hrocuring each of them in turn 8 New Theure,. and a should happen to be of Scottish, Welsh, or Irish extraaion, he maysOlicitsiach a privilege for cem..;in of a hunared removes, or for his' Grandmother, if tin venerable is not *eased fro:i all the scenes of earthly vat I am far from being an enemy to Mr; but I am a friend to 'the Public, and eatmoi. I hem threatened by a new danger without con. og it to be mv duty to give a timely alarm. .t! well be aske.f, whai are the Patentees of the V., Theatre,: about th:lt they' _ _ should behold with siLi a unconcern th;: , progress of a . Building which tre4p:lws upon their own con fines, and may by materially injurionS to their in'. terests ? I know it has been said, they alledgethat it will be time cnOngh for them to interfere when ASTLEYII3S opened his 'Theatre. But this is .a delusive and a dangerous policy, for after Mr. Asa.- Lox' has; at a considerable ,expence, raised a new edifice, the public :feelings may plead in his cause, and people may think that he ought to have, been apprized of his danger .before he was suffered to in-. volve himself in gloat eNpenee, Such, we know, was the conduit of the Winter Managers When the BQYALTY THKATRE was erected. And what was the consequence They called in the aid of law, in deed, and by the lfbrce of their Patents were, able to suppress the intended entertainmenti, - though they took place at such a distance from the regular 'Theatres that. the Manngors much,les: : ; to appre- bend than from .a that, if it ii permitted to proceed, will he raised npOn the very threshold 4 of their own. But thottgh'.they thus : , iuppressod a place of entertainment, which, in tio.! end, might have been highly detrimental to hew, a..; it . might have been the nurstly of tilents ttperior to any employed by thetniii:ll - e;i, tho I:qt.'s - Ouch con cern for Mr. l'Apiy,rt and the persons whom' he had induced to embark then! prv i *rty in :in undertaking 'that bad no foundation in law or i!utherity. It is therefore incumbent on Cie Wint , r Managers tint to slumber in i supineneis uprAr a mmurc that may not only be injariotn; to ti.; , :.111 as a rival for public fi your, but.which, upy proflucu.,,eiviits of more s...erlerg conse•pierice to tlitir tilan a mere coulpQt tition. I trust, Nr. Editor, that yOu will itninediately lice insertion to this Letter, a it hears a strong relation to the public welfare, •rind may tend to arrest the rogress. of an tinderlaking • which would not be wlnted by the Public even if we were in a state of preform(' and had swish a redundanee of wealth that we could not tell bow to earploy it except. in the invention of diversified annum:a:nu. If the new building should proceed, I shall take the liberty of resuming the subject as an act at public; duty. PUBLICUS. MAILS.

According to this Dcclaration, the, States of the German. Empire might be induced to imagine that the arulaments and aas of violence of the Frelh Emperor in Italy have glven .Austria cause for a ,conter-aiming; that. Frnce, not Au stria, wishes the restoration of a General Poce .) •- to was the obieUt tbe in tended Invasion of England, which Austria ndw etvs deavonra to interrupt, te , prevent the 'attainthent this objeiSt. : • With this Declaration is connected the threat of an attack on the German Empire if Austria does not immediately disarm at the order of the French Emperor. " Called upon by slid! a Declaration made to the. German Diet, his Ntajesty finds it incumbent upon him to lay before his Co-estates of the Empire such documents as may shew the true causes and views . which have compelled him to arm. They will I then perceive that Austria offered its mediation , fur the restoration of Peace and tranquillity, which France refused ;.---that France wishes not . Peace, for that situation is not Peace, but more de struEtive than War, in which a single Power, for midable by its greatness, alone remains armed, and is prevented by no opposition from occupying with its Troops, oppressing and subjugating one hide pendent peaceable State after another. "TO put an end to this state of things is the object. of the arming of th . Atistrian and Russian Imperial, Courts, and that the limner, from the menacing Armaments of the French in Italy, has the most pressing uiotives to be cari#l for its own safety, must be evident to all "NyhOfliiive ii id experience in the atEtiri"of the world ; itt4 for further proof, it is only necessary to. rottr t 9 the extraas • from the Mmiteur of .the 12th of May and lath .of June:of the present year.

" The French Infantry frotn:Hanover has been escorted , through Hesse, unarintd. Three Regi ments of Cavalry having however refused to give up their arrns, were attacked and very sevc.rly treated by the Hessians." Tors important intelligence which we yesterday laid before our Readers, of the Austrians having .crossed the Inn and entered theEletiorate of ;Bava ria, may be considered as the commencement a hostilities. Upon the issue of this contest rests the independence .and happiness of .Europe. France must either be reduced Within such limits as will prevent her from wantonly violating the rights c)f other States, or Europe mist consent to receive the yoke' of the Tyrant of : Prance :—there is to, other alternative :—:the contest mnst.:be decisive. But when we' consider the immense force ef the Coalesced Powers—when we Consider the cause for whiehthey are 'fighting, and the - princiPleS,.by !which they are actuated, we Cannot for a moment enter, tain a doubt that the result will i;0 favourable to the freedem, and riappi'ne4s . of mankind. Wlrile,r how. ever, we thus express our satisfaCtion at the auspi cions aspect of affairs on the Continent, it would be unjust to withhold our tribute of applause from that Minister; to whose great andcomprehensive mind, and to whose unrein4ted exertions., we are in a high degree indebted for the astonishing change whiCh has taken 'place in the situation of Europe within the hist twelve months. ,We ask any iinpartial man to con pare:the state of Europe and of this Country at. the. time Mr.. P41.--T came into -office . with their present state ? ,But . a year ago every State in Europe (with the exception of Great - Beitainy, either ;awed by the pOwer, or deceived by the profession's of 80-NAPA:ITE, seemed to view with silent apathy the aggressions and .encroachments of that 'Ty rant, and to submit, almost 'without 'murmur-. to his insults. Even the Most sanguine searcely entertained a hope of thepossibility of rous illg Europe to assert : its . independence.. Such was. die state of the Continent when Mr. PITT returned to Administration. It cannot be necessary to re mind our Readers what was the condition of this Count,v,. 'and what was the state of public feel ing at the piiriod to which we' The throat of Invasion which BONAPAATE had insolently made had undoubtedly raised the indignation of the People of England, and had produced those great. exertions which are so honourable to their public spirit. But we had no prospect beyond that of de-.. „ p femieg the Enemy if he should venture to make the attempt to invade us- ,, ,,we had no means ref assailing France on the Continent;---we were itl lila carrying on merely a War of Defence, of which it was im possible to calculate the tern ination. the situation of our Navy Ns%is at that tiny! is now, we believe, pretty generally known, and the few that entertain any doubts epon the subject will find them completely .removed when the :discussion of Mr. J1.M1117'3 Motion COWS oil ill the rouse of Com . 1-,-„ons, With respea to' the Army; We are sure we shall ivit lit^ ciOradiaed when we say, that it was In a very defeCtive suite. Such was the 44tiatipri of Europe, and of- ti l ls Country, when Mr. PITT came into - Otiicc. In, describing what the situation is, we prefer using the lanzuigo of his Enemies : " There appears in every quarter of the Continent to bo a well Organized combination, a perkit under , standing, and an emulative spirit of a%vity. The history of the world never .exhibited so grand a dis play of military preparation. Europe is at length aroused from one ex c tremity to the other, and if we can cherish rationally the hope that no, little merce nary leidousies will intervene to stql?Aptp, and diveq the great Powers tom the objea which has created the Confederacy, it cannot fail oftestoring the equi librium and order which the insatiable avarice of &NAPA EPI P.S • destroyed." Such is the language. of these who, but a few months confidently told, us tint lc there Was'no hope of Contiattatal co-operation while ,the present AdminiStration remained in: Office." " The Con tinental' Powers could not place : the slight , st confi dence in such an inetficientAditiiaistraticm," When such a change haii taken place in the language of those who were most hostile to Mr, PITT, surely those who have always looked with admiration on his talents, and placed the most implicit confidence in his wisdom and integrity, must feel no - common, share of prlde.
