A BRITON. FOR THE SUN. Mr. EDITOR—The connection between Radical Reform and Deiim has already been plainly "i"eed by the countenance which was lately af fOrded to the 1-I,igh Priest of the one by the Ch ampion of the other. Were it doubtful, the follott.i ng tact, which I enga . ge to prove, if Ws Maje st y' s Attorney-General shall think fit, will convince any tn4ll who is not radically niad that 1)41 0yolty and Deism are twin monsters. Are they 1) " 1 also the hideons spawn of a licentious Press ?

SPAtN.—Letters and Papers from Madrid to the 13 lb, and from Cadiz to the 6111 instant, have been received, The mnst imporant fact communicated 'ff them is, that 6000 Spanish troops, which, Ivith others, surrounded the infected places, to Prevent the yellow fever from spreading into the interior, bud suddenly broke the cordon, 114 ( 1 had retired into Esti einarlura, and had ar -I;,k'ed al Santa Olalla, a small villages but finding that so large a force could not obtain accommo 'Ltlion.in so small a place, they had proceeded to Cassilis, a pretty considerable town farther op the country. The inhabitants taking alarm at the a pproach of so large a body of men, and dreading sc arcity of provisions, had armed themselves in - Or der to - prevent their entering ; but in marr to it ‘ . "irl cor n i ng toextremities,aDeputationfronl Gas.. ; remonstrated with the officers, and the troops consequence halted. The advices state, that this n+lexpected movemeint of the military arose from t he want of provisions, which they could not pro 'lre in th e ne i g hbourhood of Cadiz, and were 2 ri! e cssariiv compelled to seek supplies ekewhere, yellow fever at Cadiz and other places, had, in ,-. ▪ 111 measure, diminished. 'lle eases of fever did .ro t f eXceed 60 a day.

I,;;X TRAORDINAIIY RoBBERY.—A few days ago, b \l 'o men passing themselves as police-officers, e lringing to Worship -street, called at the "Ise of a poor respectable winow woman ne ar the City-road, and informed her they had • W arrant for her apprehension, on a charge °I.

Eorroa---In all new undertakings, and more especially in those in which there is acknow ledged to exist very considerable difficulties, it is natural that various coojeetores must arise, and diversity of opinions will be held, as to the pro bability of the success of the enterprise, from a consideration of the ability with which it has been planned, and the skill of those engaged in carry ing it into effect. Few enterprizes of its kind en gaged more of the Public attention' than Mr. MUDICS Series of Medals, to Commemorate the most Rentarkable Events of the late War; nor could it he otherwise, when it addressed itself to e very feeling that beat in proud and lofty unison with all the noble principles, and the splendid ge nerosity,,aod the heroic energy, which led to that tremendous appeal to arms, and distinguished its progress, and crowned its close. Burt to awaken the attention, and to obtain the warmest good seishes of those competent to judge of the merits of an undertaking is one thing, arid to devise the manner and to discover the means for carrying it 'onto execution, is another ; and while those whose love of their Country's honour, arid whose admi ration of tire Fine Arts, both of which were equally interested in it, highly approved and zea lously supported Mr. MU DI es 1 )1(1)0841 to strike a Series of National Medals, they could not dis guise from themselves the many difficulties which would occur in its progress, aloe could they shut their eyes to the probability that they were too numerous to be overcome, anti that the chances were more inclining to failure than to .success The very great expense of engraving die's, procur ing designs, atol fabricating the Menials, was a serious consideration ; but a yet mote difficult part of the undertaking was to procure Artists to engrave the dies, for so much has this splendid, hut difficult and laborious department of the Arts been neglected in England, that it was almost neces sary to create a School to carry his plans into ext. Collo!), and the result has shewn, that in whatever department of tire Arts patronage is afforded, Bri tish Talent will never be wanting to dispute the palm of excellency with all the World ; but to withold encouragement till Genius is driven into other countries and pursuits, and then to wonder tfOlt it cannot be found, and to calumniate native ability, when censnre is alone due to its Oven want of foresight and patriotism, is not peculiar only to our own times and our own comory ; and to have refitted such air aspersion one the Medallic retiown of Britain, is equally honourable and me ritorious in Mr. Monte. To these discourage ments was yet to be added, the little support Mr. Moore could expect until Iris Series was complet-• act, as few persons will come .forward without knowing what the plan will .produce ; and even when the commencement ,promises well, we fear the conclusion may be very different, and prefer waiting, that we may decide with certainty and safety.' In spite of tall these discooragements, and through all these diffieulties,Mr.Munta has toiled on with great and persevering success ; and no doubt, I trust can remain, that be has now only to t»ake it known that the Series, is completed to obtain the: public attention ti) his undertaking, and when that attention is obtained, their merits, both for design and execution, as specimens of - the Fine Arts, aunt as Historlcal Records of the most Remarkable Events of our most eventful Era., will ensure a liberal support.

The purpose was to propose an institution, instructive and enter taining, in order to give examples ot -elocu tion, by recitation of original and other com posiiious of a moral and interesting nature, to order to train the rising generation into a vie t lions contse of action, and to excite a taste for literary amusemenis The Lady detailed her plan, which seemed to be judiciously formed, and de livered it with such energy and appropriate ex pre;,.juu, as justly excited universal and reiterated applause. We heartily wish success to her enter prize. BIiIGHTON, OCT. 26.—The PRINCE REGENT, about halt au hour alter noon to-day, was on horseback, accompanied by the Right Hon. Sir B. Bloomfrefil, and inhaling the salutary breeze on the Western Downs. It teas soon known that his Royal Highness was in public, and the car riages of Nobility, pursuing a similar route, were presently in motion, while tonish equestrians of both sexes increased in number, and sought the field. The scene altogether was as brilliant as and every symptom of attachment and respect that could be manifested in the fleet ing rencontres„ 't as shown to his Roy,' High ness, who answered them with an affability and a dignity peculiarly his own. lu truth tee never re collect to have seen the Regent in better appa rent health and spirits.

AIR. C. KENIBLE. ' Dire inserted a paragraph yesterday, taken from The Morniug Herald, referring to the difference which at present exists between 'Air. C. KEMHLtt and the Manager of Cove►►t-Garden Theatre, but we made no comment. In consequence of that paragraph, the following Letter appears in the same Paper this day, with a Postsctipt by the alitorj TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. hive read in your Paper of this morning a paragraph relating to the recent retirement of Mr. CHARLES KeMBLa from the boards of which he has so long been one of the chief ornaments. That paragraph, notwithstanding its artfully quiet construction, was evidently drawn up by those who have sent it to you, for the pur pose.of prejudicing the public mind against the Gentleman in question. I therefore call upon your impartiality as an Editor; and your feelings as a man, to request the Public will suspend . their judgment until they know all the 6reum - - stances which have induced Mr. C. Karant.a to adopt such a line of conduct, the only one left to an honourable and independent.miud. It cannot and will not be long before the town will have an opportunity of _judging for itself. 1 could say much, but I forbear, lest 1 should appear to fol low the plan 1 complain ot, and be led into an attempt to induce others to.prejudge the question. I am professedly an admirer of Mr. Kr.mnt.a's lalents, nay, .of his very name, and, lam proud to add, his personal . friend ; 'hot the utmost I can possibly wish is that plain facts may he stared. 1 am, Sir, your's, Oct. 27, 1819. AMICUS. [We deny the assertion of .4micus that the pa. ragraph to which he alludes was drawn up with a view to prejudice the public mind against Mr. C. KemaLE ; nor has it any such tendency. We lieve that, under the circumstances, Mr. C. KEMBLR is not the individu a l against whom that censure should be awarded,' which sooner or later must tall somewhere.—Editor of the Herald.] AIISTILACT of the' WILL of the Lute W. SNIITII, The Will of the late WILLIAM SMITH, E•4l. of theart le celebrity, was, as we before stated, prcv. ed in the l'retogw ire Court on the I4+ll inst., by , Taddy, Esq. one of his executors : the • personal estate being sworn under IS,OOOI. power of granting probate being reserved on the future' appleation of the relict, as the other pArly con stitnted for that purpose. lie has left his house and apptirtenances at limy St. Edmunds, with all other lauds, tenements, at,d lieteditaments, to his wife absolutely ; also the imerest of 8,0001. in the Navy 5 per cents for life ; the interest of 4,0001. to the 3 per cent.

BRIDE, arrived here on Tuesday e‘Airek, from Davis's Straits, with three fish, 140 butts of blubber, being the only vessel at the whale fishery which had not previously arrived. Con,iderable, apprehensions had been entertained for her safety. It appears that Capt. 111 ACKBRIDE, on the 23:1 of August, was as far N. as 77. SO, close in with the land; the weather was perfectly clear, and from the mast head the land was visible all round as far as the eye could reach. lie was then drivels by a gale of wind us far southward as Lancaster Sound. Capt. M. and the surgeon landed near Sir GaouGe Hora's monument, and proceeded 10 or 12 milts into the country, where they found se vend fox•traps left there by the natives. At that time the weather was quite clear, and Capt. M. had an extensive view of the Sound, but without findirig tiny traces of the Discovery ships. On the following day, the 29th August, the weather became thick, and Capt. M. thought it prudent to make the best of his way to port. The Larkins. of Leith, sailed from the Straits, in company with, the Filen:6lop, and arrived on Friday. IHE LATE STORM. The hurricane of Friday morning last drove se. veral vessels from their anchors, which had'brought np for the night in the channels leading to the Thames. Tie storm was so violent that the ves sels rolled with their yard-arms in contact wisli the wares, and any attempt to afford assistance was impracticable; fortunately it was of short duration, or its effects M those narrow seas would bare been most destructive. One of the galleys employed on the preventive service, in which was a midshipman and six men, was upset, off Margate, in the night of Saturday last, and all on board are supposed to have perish ed, as tlic boat drove under .tiargate Sun day eveniog, overturned with her sail set.—(Cun lerbury Paper ) Ihnisilay night and the greater part of Friday last, we exp-rieHcel it severe storm of wind from the nurihsvaid, accomnAnied with hail and rain, which tee are atraiti has doe con•iderable damage amongst tine shipping tna coast. On Friday morning, at eleven o'clock. the Mary, Storey, from Ulverston, foundered about three miles N.N.L. of the Float in 4 Light three men and a woman were saved by the Pilot Boat, No. 11, but the Captain was drowned. A sloop (name unknown) tonndered at the same time, and the crew. lost.—(Liverpoel Acker tiser.) ECULVEB.--:rhe damage, which we lately no ticed as having been done by the high tides, at this ancieot station, is more p oticularly prominent On the western side,where the stone pavemeht has, in many intervals along the whole extent, been displaced, and has sunk into large Gold in the sand; the waves having pressed with much vio lence against the low mound of earth, in front of svhich this work of defence has been con striieted to check the inroad of the sea into the vatium and marshes beneath. No material in jury has been sustaincd on that part of the work mulcr the clitl immediately in front of the church ; but to the eastward, at the toot of the eminence on which this edifice and its surrounding ruins . "' stand, a tearful inroad has been attempted by the waves, and portions of the clay batik have been washed away. he devastating tory of the sea was also directed against that part of the cliff, on which tests the east wall of the ancient CASI11(11, and the clayey soil having been removed from be neath, by the action of the waves, the wall, over hanging, several feet front the cliff, with its pio. file and tonlid..!ion in the most perfect form, is exposed to anew, and front which the mode and twine of its construction, may be more readily conceived, than has, perhaps, hitherto been Con icctured. Considerable portions of the ground. on the edge of the cliffs, iilong the coast in that vicinity have also given neav, front the high titles having penetrated into their bases; ant', should I t h e ! :piiog tides of the approaching winter be at. tended with strong Northedy wiiids, it is feared clinch land will be lust on that part of the coast.
