FOR THE SUN. TO MY BELOVED COUSIN JOHN BULL. The ensuing election is. likely to. be the most . important in its results of any that hath- on, carved, for_ two centuries past. The people of these realms are now to determine-for themselves, whether they will return to the usurpations, the superstition, the corruptions, the tyranny of that base counterfeit .of Christianity, Popery, by the choice of . constituents who may support them, or whether they will send Reptesentatives to Par liament who wily maintain those civil and reli gious rights and privileges which they new enjoY, sead which must for ever be lost by the admission of.the claims of the Popish part of e their fellow objects., It is not 'to, the mere participation .of a few civil or military ,offices by Papists that a generous and candid man would object, if the claims should go no further, (though even that participation would be a hazardous experiment) but it is to the removal of their disabilities we object, as they would immediately place these kingdoms in precisely the same state they were, when, aftir the death of that excellent Prince, Edward VI. his sister, Queen Mary, was admitted to succeed to the throne, and whose claim to it was founded upon a dispensation frdm the Pope : being admitted, however, to reign in consequence of that dispensation; her sole object, aided by a slavish Parliament, ivas the entire overthrow e of; the Protestant faith, and the re-establishniene of Popery, with all its attendant horrors of persecu tion, which is recommended: by the Doctors and Councils of that Church, particularly the last, that of Trent, The Roman' Catholics, or-nipa tips, now openly profess they will be satisfied with nothing short of those claims ; and it is. a matter most concerning to you, my Cousin, and your family, to learn, from the of their own country; in the reign of Philip and Mary, what would lie .the effect of granting those claims, and I refer to that history for proof; namely, the appointment of Popish . Bishops and Clergy in every diocese under the Pope, as assuming to be the supreme head of the Church and Vicar of .Christ, with the deprivation of the Protestant Clergy, yea, of the Dissenting Ministers also—the prohibition of marriage to the Priesthood, divorc ing their wives and liaritardizing their children— the abolition . in favour of Papalins, only of the act of Mortmain—the maintenance of the Pope and Cardinals;theirconcubines and-bastards, (some of whom have supplanted Princes) by money sent out of these realms ; the admission of the Pope's supremacy and permanent authority, uneontrouled by any temporal power-=-the consequent renewal of all those troubles. which harassed these realms fiir Many ages front the contentions of the Popes, with the Crown, in teniporal nOlcsS . than spiritual matters—innumerable appeals to Rome, exhaust ing the patience and pockets, of the people— the appointment of Popish Generals, Admirals, and Judges, who may anuihilat6 our film-ties -L-41m resumption of the Abbies and priories, (to which Abbots and Priors are already nominated) with all their alienated lands.and tithes, for the use of Mother ChurCh—the prohibitioft of the Scrip tures-to the people (no Bible Societies) ; the war ship of / images ; prayers to Saints that were sin ners lot the pardon of sins ; indulgeneics for sins sold for ready money ; prays for the dead sold also ; intolerante towards ail dissenters—in brief, fire and faggot in every town, and county, for the conversion of us heretics.. (Protestants) — the Inquisition and its dung-coos (in active exist ence in the East Indies in 1807), by which several methods in the reign of Mary, only durlog three years and a half, no less than 800 persons- perish ed, (as proved by Lord Burleigh.) These, Cousin Bull, are a very few of the curses which' would be brought into this country, and will brand for ever . the memory of those persons wlio again introduce Popery, in any shape, cr on any pre tence eehatever ; and ou whose heads would Test the. perils of whatever commotions might arise in the defence of the Religion and laivs of a Protes tant nation, and free people. , . The History of the Reign of Philip and Mary evill confirm, by its related woes, those necessary and unavoidable results front removing the dis a-hilities Which . now restrain the Papalins; who would again, if in power, tell us in scorn, " You have the Scriptures, but we have the sword." In the hope, Mr. Bull, of your retaining a just cease of these things, I remain your loving Cousin, IRISH ELECTIONS. CRANMER. Sir H. Montgomery has declined standing again for the County of Donnegal.

FdIITITER PARriCr:LARS. The Galiray Mail-Coach was robbed at half past tvt - ^ive o'clock on Friday night, at Cioncurry the Ititiil4'ivard %vas shot dead, and the' passengers robbed • the gang consisted of 12 or 14 armed men, who carried of f all the bags. , It .is considered that Collier and- his party were the plunderers, and that they retreated back to their old haiints. The fair of • Ballinasioe being so soon; may be the occasipn of their visit to the Mail-Coaches supposed to be carryingdown oney. The following letter, from a s Gentleman who was pasenger in the Coach, .deuils the particu lars of tlri-3. atrocious act I have the painful information to communi cate to you 'that the Down and Galway. was at tacked last night near: the Turnpike-gate at Cap ,pagh Hill, by a gang of eight or tern men, who fired from behind .a wall,- and shot the Guarzl (Geoghegan) and wounded' a passenger who sat beside the coachman (Birmingham) ; they then robbed all the passengers, and took away the mail bags. Birmingham is much hurt, having been beat with a blunderbuss about the head 3 but I understand the -outside . passenger, who was wounded by a shot intended ,for Birmingham, is not materially injured. It was the intention of the gang to have waited for the up mail, which usually met about three miles behind Cappagh, but one Of the passengers having, escaped while the gang were plundering the others, pushed for ward and made the up coach return back to this place, *here it will remain until .day-light.- 7 - Th-y kept the down coach a considerable time, anti then allowed it, with all the pas&engers, to proceed, inchuling the Gentleman who sat on the box,' and had been wounded in the head. " The Gentleman who was wounded means to go no farther than Kinnegad, where he will get his wounds dressed. , This . Gentleman, who was. wounded, is Sir John Homan. 7 1 believe he as taken up at Maynooth or Leixtip. The robbers had shift the turnpike-gate at Cappag,h, and placed some logs of wood to prevent its being forced; they broke open, the trunks, &c. One Gen tleman, I understand, lost .300/. ; his name is . 34 r. Sanith'; his friends live at Dorset-street. I wrote off to Mr. Wainright, Tuam, or in his absence to the Officer commanding the troops, stati»g the transaction. I hope some steps may be taken to stop the ruffians in their way to their old hanutt in the county of Meath, as them is no doubt of their being Collier'S gang, the name of Collier having been called out several: times by them. Pray lose no time in 'communicating the contents. of this to Mr:Ferguson at the Post Of fice ; you had better also give some account of the transaction in the different Newspapers. " YOUr's truly., " RICHARD BOURNE, " 4G, Dawson-street.:' In addition to what is stated in the above letter, we have heard that a Lady who was passenger in the coach was robbed .of her watch and trunk ; her trunk was taken away without opening it.— The robbers reftinded a thirty shilling -note to a Prkst, whom, with the other pazsengcrs, they had deprived of every thing. During the time of their attack, they asked something concerning " the bloody Derry guard whom they had shot," which identifies them with, the gang who so lately committed a similar robbery on the road betwixt Dublin and Newry. The following is an Extract of a Letter from a gallant young Midshipman, late belonging to the Guerriere " HALIFAX, SEPT. 14, 1812.-4 am sorry to inform you,,which I. am forced to do with pain, that the Guerriere is no more a ship..On the 27th of last month, it being a temendons gale, we fell in with the constitution, American frigate : we prepared for action, and a hard fought action it was. The first broadside we got. went between wind and water. WC had 'soon 12 feet water. in, the bold ; our main - and wizen masts went next. • When in the act of raking the , Constitution, our foremast went, and left kis a complete hulk, with. a heavy sea. We then had six : feet of water on the lower deck, all our guns were under water; it was no use to resist any. longer—but, thank Gon, English colours were flying - on the stump of our wizen mast,. and we under water. We then struck to save the prisoners and the wounded.— We had 4 flO wounded and 15 )(Hied ; every man almost was slightly, wounded ; every Officer was wounded, one killed. I should not acquaint you with this, but I am afraid 'that when the news. reaches England I may be ranked in the dead list. The Guerricre was blown up, and I have not a • stitch but what I stand upright in, as Any 'chest was blown up in her." Licut.-General IiARCLAY, Commander-in-Chiet of the Royal Marine Forces, on Tuesday inspeet 'ed the Chatham Division. The brigade of Royal 'Marine Artillery Went through their evolutions with astonishing rapidity and correctpess. Their mortar practice was also highly to the satisfaction of the Lieutenant-General, who passed many,en . comiums on the discipline - and good order of the whole Division. The third battalion of Royal Marines are now organizing•at Portsmouth ; it is. supposed they are • intended for America. The first battalion, under Major Wu-Limas, are iu the ' neighbourhood of Bilboa, 'and the second, under 'Major MaLcoLal, have passed the Gut of Gibral - 'tar. From the facility of recruiting the' Royal 'Marines, and the preference given to their • szr- Nice, it is probable a considerable force v. ill be drawn from them, if it becomes necessary to send troops to America. Two thousand effective men would be instantly produced by relieving the lla dims embarked in prison, store, and hospital -ships, With the .Militia of the United Kingdom. The Royal Marines and Marine Artillery, at this !no . ment, form nearly one-fourth of the whole - army. The Officers of the Chatham Division 'gave their Commander-inXhief a grand dinner on Wednes day. 'the i'olic•Viug, article, we presume, very Aceeri:able to our agricultural Readers. RE APING MACHINE. A trial I;a3 recently been made of a reaping.tna 7 aline on Cie farm of Snieaton, near_Dalkeitli; invented by Mr. Smirk, of the Deanstotm, worksi; near_Donnn-,!, Perthsbire. The trial was made under circumstances of great disadvantaie. The gro was an irregular Held; on a hanging 'bank, with short ridges highly, ga thered up. On • groutal of considerable acclivity the mach,ne WU require two horses, and.Dlr. Smith, i. constructing his next machine should certainly attend eo this circumstance. As the ire- seat machine had only the power of one horse ap* plied, it would gadded the spectators, anti given the machine a fairer trial, if tue ground had been near.-,-. level, and they felt a considerable dez• gree of disappointment that the trial was so short, because it was evident that the work was better dune at the conclusion than at the beginning, the horse having become better acquainted with the ground, and consequently moved more steadily. When moving on those parts of the field which. were nearly level, the work of cutting was done Most perfectly. The laying of the corn, though remarkably well for a first essay, will still admit of improvement. The public are much .indebted to the patriotism. of the Gentlemen of the Dalkeith Farming Club, for inciting mechanical genius by the offer of this liberal premium, which will go far to prevent .any. reproach from being brought against the - preseut acueration, that they should reap the profit of so important an agricultural implement without re warding the ingenuity of the Gentleman who dis covered it ; and, while we wish not by any means to 'discourage the exertions of other mechanical Gentlemen, who may have• turned their attention to the contracting of a reaping machine.

On Wednesday last, before a very numerous as semblage of Magistrates at the Quarter Sessione, at' Xingston, -the. license for . these Gardens was !moved for by Mr. Nolan, the Counsel, which was unanimously approved ; , ,ncl granted by the Bench. On this being passed, the Duke of Norfolk, who was on the )Dench, rose - and said, that there were same- circumstances, as be understood, which Made the motion of :that day very peculiar ; that front some cause or other not avowed, or even -)snoW n, the Magistrates of the Borough had refus ed ttie proprietor of thoSe Gardens the victuallers' license, • which had always been- granted, 'and which would disable himefrona affording to the ptib. lic their usual refreshment ; that be had-, he was almost sorry to say, known sthece Gardens for 50 years, from the ,time at their original proprietor, Jonathan Tyers, to the present moment ; that sums, he believed not far short .of 70,0001. had been expended on theni ; -that be had ever seen them conducted in : the most 'decorous manner; ,that they had been . .the means of bringing. forward men of greatest genins in the naiut,s of Handel, Hayman, Roubiliae, and Hogarth, , and had ever been the boast-of our own country and the wonder •of foreigners. On this account be could not re frain from submitting to .the Chairman this nio.. tion = " That the Magistrates assciuhled at this Quarter: Sessions, do express their regret,' that 'the victuallers' license had been refused by the Ma 4-gistrates of the Borough." .This motion was seconded by Sir Thomas 'Tut= ton, Bart. On this Mr. Sumner rose, and said, that though he heartily joined- in all the encinnimus that had been bestowed upon Vauxhall Gardens, whose re gularity he had often witnessed, having pa , scd many pleasant hours there when young, and still continued to partake of occasionally, yct he could not join in the present a motion, as he hoped the Borough Magistrates had refused the license from conscientions motives, and not in - 1m pique, which he should decidedly reprobate ; and he thought the present motion would introduce a dangerous precedentior the Sessions, to censure the conduct of other Magistrates in their own district. I‘r. Trotter supported the same line, of argu ment, confessing that the precedent of one set of Magistrates _ censuring another was his only objection, as every one must aceeste to the pro priety of Vauxhall Gardens, as a national amuse ment. Mr. Kennard smith, in a very animated speez..h, supported the Duke of Norfolk's motion, lament ing, that when -the Emperor of France was plan ! . Ding for his subjects every speries of public amuse ment, we should be driving our people from every inaoQent resort, the effect of which would be, to send them to Methodist Meeting-houses, or Poli tical Clubs. Ile had every reason to believe, that the Proprietor had attended in person respecting his license as usual, and after waiting three boars without being admitted or heard, was informed his license had been refused without any cause .as signed. Mr. Alcock wished some middle andrnilcler mode. could he adopted, by any of the Borough MagistrateS condescending to give a reason for their conduct, by which a friendly application for a mandamus could be made to the Court of King's Bench, who might order the victuallers' license to be granted. Mr. Florence Young said, however he might regret, from the general .sentiments in favour of Vauxhall Gardens, that the refusal of the *wai lers' licenSe bad taken place, yet he did not think himself authorised to commit the Magistrates, by saying. they had acted. wrong. On the question being put from the Chairman on the Duke's motion, it was 11 egati 1 by 18 to 13, on the ground that it - was improper for one Set of Magistrates to censure the acts of another. A Gentleman from the Sister Kingdom called in Yesterday at a Lottery Office in Cornhill, and de sired the Clerk to shew him some TWINS. " Sir,", replied the Clerk, " my Master has three chil dren, but:none of them are Twins."—" I want none of your Master's children," rejoins the Hi bernian, " but it is the children of Dame Fortune .am looking after; therefore hand me over two Tickets of one Number, that I may gain ,40,000 on Tuesday the 20th." • A ship, to carry 74 guns, is to be built at Bom bay, to be called the . Wellesley. Wortsitte-sTßEET,Yesterday a young man, of an interesting appearance, about 22 years of age, whose name is Alikersam, late a .collecting clerk in the employment of MesSrs . Hales add Co. Brewers, in Red Cross - -street, was- brought. up for examination before the sitting MagiStrate,Mr. GrryoßD, charged with leaving the service of his employers, in the month of. September last,; and .not accounting for various sums of money which he had'received for them in fruit, amoucting - in all to 7(10/. The prisoner, it appears, had fied to a distant part 'of the country, taking refuge in Cumberland,. where he was apprehended, a:id sent to town in custody. , lie arrived in the course of last week. At this examination a partner in the house of Hales and Co. attended with the books, from which he stated the deficiency of various sums of money entrusted to the prisoner, and of *hid' he was charged with having defrauded them. Of the items only two were entered into for the present, via. the sums of 151. and 25/. A Mr. Wortan, of Fenchurch-street, stated; that he had dealt With the house of Messrs. H. and Co. and being in debted to them; the prisoner waited on him On the 28th of Angust last ; that . he then paid hiin the sum of 251. on account of his employers, and for which payment he now produced a receipt in the prisoner's hand-writing, and signed with his name. This was written and signed in his own presence. Another witness having similar con cerns*With*the house of Hales and Co. depoied respecting the 151. nearly, to the same effect. — The prisoner being asked if he had any thing to say in his defence, signified that he had not, and blirst into tears. The Matter is postponed for further examination. • tkONDON Prihted' by THOMAS WOOD; a No. SS; Maidin-lane, Covent-garden; and Published by WILLIAM ARMIGER SCRIPPS, South Multon-street,Grosvenor-s q ua.re, At the Swx OFFICE, No. 1 1 2 , Strand. wlier9 Adverti44nientr, (17.de-is 'tor the Paper, Letters for the Editor, &C. rpust.paid), must be addressed, BULTHS.
