He conceives also, that in these tertul and threatening times evt , ry Piddle Mao should remain a! his post, in order to contribute, to the utmost of his power, towards tiJ. deit:oce of our inestimabe Constitution. , Several In• dividnals have ()Gunl to p.o.chase the Palter; but as it was founded tiod:ci the immediate sanc tion of the late Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems it his duty to consider it as a Political Legacy left by that Illustrious Statecip,io to his Comory, to inatitaiti and perpetuate t!irse inciples which ate most conducive to the seewity of the State tool the happiness of the Peisole.* Hence the Ad mirers of that enlightened Minister anti f r,,e ti int May rt ink that a Paper itsti:lited by him, and for inch important objeets, should be oliered to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher considerations than mere re ; .-tard to pecuniary ad vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel fare ;Thr at least to any other whose intereits may be essentiallvooired with the intetelt of the Coun• try. To such Persons the Proprietor would most willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and, however anxious he may he for repose, atter utruy year:: of toil and solicitude, be would readily act as their Agent so long as bis soperintendance might be reqnired. It cannot be necesary to dwell on the high reputation which Litt SUN has so long possessed, in consequence of the unueviating consistency of its Political Character, and the uniform propriety of its geeeral CoAluct. To +rapport a Government acting on the system of Mr. PITT is the main principle by which the p., v er has been directed, and only by a firm ad herence ro that system can it. maintain its charac ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady att4cll - to a System whiCh coniprebends the safety ot the Constitution, by no means triplies a ser vile concurrence in the Measures ot any Admini stration. But: while fa t: SUN perseveres in the same direct course, it tat relsonablY expect the support of the pre•eut Government, Oil account of its Politi,al Princi;.les, and the reverence due to the memory of its Illustrious Founder, Isnce an . diaerence f. the tate.

ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS Of a BIRTH-DAY are of little use, and must fall into Liuguor and decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse and support the Principles upon which those Associations are professedly established. THE SUN may also expect the support of the REGULAR SOLICITORS throughout the Kingdom, as that Paper, and that alone, has zealously endeavoured to maintain the honour of the Legal Profession, by exempting it from all irregular Practitioners end discreditable Intruders. Finally, Toe SUN may look to the PEOPLE AT LARGE for patronage and encouragement on account of the steadiness of its Plineiples, its Public Spirit, and its reso lute eudeavoins, on all occasions, to p7oinote the Honour and Interest of the Country. Such, then, is the Opportunity which the Proprietor now offers to his Countrymen; arid as it presents A Tar TO PUBLIC VIRTUE; and to GENUINE PA- TRloTtsm, lie should insult the National Clia racte t if he were not to suppose that among the admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends CI Tun CON- smuTtom, many wise, independent, disinterested, magnanimous BRITONS will be found ready, at this awful crisis, to unite in order to become Pro prietors of a Paper which so o!..vionsly pGssesses peculiar and prominent claims' to National Pro t ectiw,,—No ue hot Principols need apply in .

Such was the magnanimous loyalty of our great departed Statesman. Never was " the I , .l.Ncr's GOVERNMENT" more formidably threatened than it is at present, ald never was it more in need of loyal Adherents.

But you must remember, that if tl►e points on which that in fluence 'is founded, should once be neglected, the power' itself will cease ; nay ; that the very abuse of the power will be the cause 'of its own destruc- 4 im).

Step but for a moment trout the routine which the laws of society ) the custom of she country, your own sense of pro priety, tint; your own feeling of modesty have formed around you, atql what do you, become ? If you cease to act like a woman, you cease to look like one ilia() you cannot become, though you TIM y adopt something I:ke the resemblance of one,,but it is the mere family likeness of a monster. In short, a female Orang-outang would be less disgusting, because she would he less trou blesome and mischievous. She might indeed play the deuce with the side-board and currier-cup board, but all she could learn would be an ad vance in the scale of being, whilst female disar rangement must_ always lead to female degrada- lion. Besides,. my dear Mrs. BULL, what could you possibly hope to gain, either for yourself or your little ones, or for your good man, by quilting the fireside foe the forum, or the distaff for t he dag ger ? Do you not literally rule the roast at home, and even do so more than metaphorically abroad ? Are not curtain lectures more convincing than all other leetores What are the galvanic excite- meats of a dead frog, compared to your own upon a livin4 subject 1. Is it not more delightful to teach the rudiments of knowledge to your own little men at home—to polish your own Corne. lian jewels—l mean the jewels of which Cornelia boasted,--than to pr . each to a party of men-folks, who care little about what the women say ? Must you not do more r ssenthd good to your country, by watching and guarding the cortv:,,ntion of your little ones, thi??yattsmx . tirl, r t r at . o: ,:, patch, toOS t u tion ? What Habeas Corpus Dare you to wish for beyond that of a good and rational husband; who will find his happiness at home, instead of running after radicals, or being Minted and hoaxed by police officers and penny snit set iptioos Is it not your interest to support the cause of religion and revelation ? Are you not to day an angel ? But what is an angel to-morrow, if Christian Revelation is once set aside The Heathen Mythology might indeed make you a Goddess ; but a Goddess requires many essentials which you may not possess, whereas any woman may be an angel whenever site pleases. have you not always had the suffrage of the Universe ? Will you give up that for Universal Suffrage ? Will you have a soberer or a more in dustrious husband, by his frequenting Elections once a year ? the Spencean System, while it gives you four acres to cultivate, give you also strength, spirit, and taste for cultivation ? Be ' sides, if you marry, your husband's four acres may be a long way from your own, so that either you or your land must be allowed to run to grass! Nay, should your portions even be in the same parish, where are you to find other four acres a piece for each of the ten young patriots with whom Providence may bless your happy state of connu bial freedom ? It will be no reply to this to say, that the four acres of the dead may be given to the living ; for population Clearly increases, the births exceed the deaths throughout the 'hut), and therefore every year a more decided pauperism would be increasing than exists at the present moment, and with fewer means of meeting it. Indeed, Mrs. BULL, two guineas per week are an hundred a-year ; nay, even one will afford you more comfort and more flannel petticoats than ever you will be able to raise off four acres even of garden ground. To-day, it is very trne, those who have four acres, or even one of garden ground, may raise melons, and sell them well in Covent- garden Market; but who will buy melons, when the income even of the lowest mechanic shall be reduced far, below its present scale, and a ll other s reduced to it ; and when the very paupers themselves must be worse off than at present, because workhouses must cease to exist, whilst many of their occupants must he unable even to till as much grow ( ' as will form their f4,nereal freehold, that. equal share of the soil which, soonrr or Idler, comes to both Prince and Peasant ?

'l'he People -are privileged to petition ;,:and, of course, to assemble for petitioning :—but they have not any .privilege to deliberate, or to assem ble for deliberating. The People already form in Parliament the third branch of the ConstitutiOn ; wherein atone their deliberative powers exist. Their assemblage out of Parliament, though never so peaceably, though with neither ensigns, nor weapons, nor any other warlike array, for the purpose of deliberating on State affairs, passing resolutions, and advising enactments—such assemblage, I say, makes the People a fourth estate, breaks the Triad of the Constitution, and gives to them two estates in four, instead of one estate in three. The meetings, then, at Alanchester and else-, where—except where held under some especial eurpoi ate privilege—have been, and • will be, un constitutional—and therefore illegal. And, though convened for the ostensible or even the real purpose of petitioning, they assume .this illegality, at the ninment when they transgress the mere act tf petitioning, and diverge into any other act whatsoever. This illegality, which violates the Constitution, must he checked :—more than checked—it must be iitevented niußt be imuishttl. But its punishment must not wait for the or dinary forms of ordinary cases.--A single boor may suffiLle the previous organization of a drilled and xveaponed mob to destroy the C.wstnwion, as fully, as to throw ope❑ an toclosureor to pull down a brothel. In these minor outrages, we concede the hour's mischief after reading the Riot Act because tnese may be none easily remedied than co'dd the subversion of the Law, But the forrohl---or, if you so chose to tel 111 it, the Con- stitutinital—hour mnlt not accommodate the tie- stroyers of the Constirotion. lt tills: not. It ()ugh\ uot. Constitutionally it cannot. The Supreme Power of a State is that, beyond which there are neither the means nor the right • of Huthority, The C'onsti:ution is the Supreme Power of Great • Britain. Every Supreme Power possesses in itself the --uns of its own preservgiinfl,. , tjonstitution _ itself those means. Again.—Not any act done by the Constitution can be unconstitotional. The King is the only Branch of the Consti tution which can do any act affecting the Therefore, not any act done by the Kng for the preservation of the Constitution can be un constitutional. The act of his Magistrates, under his Commis sion, is the act of hitnself. .What authority shall resist it, or eveu question it ? Not any one of the other two Estates in Parliament ; and, assuredly, neither of them out of Parliament. The King might possibly adopt unconstitu tional .means for th►e safety of his Throne ; the Lords, for the safety of their privileges ; the Commons, for the safety of their rights. I put only the possibility of such cases. Because, as the other two Estates are o: en for redress or protection to the one requirinz it, not any one Estare is privileged to redress or protect itself ; other than by the general courke of the LAW, concerning its own internal functions. But, the act of the only Executive Power of the three Estates for the preservation, not of it self, or of any one, but of the whole, cannot be uncon3l itut lonal. It is the act of the Constitution, 0 feel that] . am arguing in a circle. But it is a circle which my opponents will not easily overleap.) The executive branch of the Constitution is bound to its defence, and charged with its. re sponsibilil. No act, therefore, which it sloes for the preservation of the Constitution, can ha on constitntional. Were the King to endeavour a preponderance of the Monarchy, I know not whist tnean3 of de fence the other two E9IRICS of Parliamm, which ore not Executive, could employ for the solety of the Constitution ; but I am sure that pone which they did employ could be unconstitir tionol. Were the Lords to endeavour a preponderance of the Aristrocrocy ; or the Commons —0.1, out of Parliament, is the present case—to endeavour preponderance of the Democracy; the Executive Branch of the Constitution would be obliged t(i its defence. And, being responsible for such delence, he cannot forego is exercise. 'And, being hontul to such defence, be cannot be questioned for its enforcement. I speak of extrtme positions—happily, of rare occurrence, but through the agency of trcasonab:e !nen sometimes Occurring. Such as are those of Manchester and of other places ; wherein for bearance has encouraged the mischief, which it si - 111)1aq encounter would have summarilt,po anguished. Nic s Ido tidt love th e bamiuyiokof 'Nies between the Bend! and Dock ; . thetoleration of saucy" in!ruders ;or the indulgence of clap-trap speeches. One audacious fellow's impunity figs up an bun. aired others, . - Until an heavier severity becomes indispensible at 'last, than would have sufficed at first. Nothing was ever yet gained by tempo.. rizimg; and in every question between the Re formers and the Magistrates, so it will be found. It is one of the best merits of our present Lord Mayor, and one of the most useful, that he never temporizes. He meets the mischief and the mis chief maker ; and he puts them both down. I think I have now shewn that the Constitu• lion possesses in itself :be means of its own pre.. servation. But, if we admit the pretensions of HUNT and his fellows, it possesses nothing except the means of its own destruction. The inference is too absurd to be true; but, if true, is such d Constittithmoorth our contest? We should be left to chuse between Anarchy. and Despotism. For my single part, I should pre ter the latter, as being somewhat more compen. (lions, much mare gentlemanly, and much less mischievous: TENAX. ' TI - lEATRICAL REGISTER.
