TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. TAYLOR, the PROPRIETOR of THE SUN NEWSPAPER, being desirous of lessening the La- boor anti Solicitude attending the Conduct of a Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources, whose Political Principles correspond with those Avhith the Paper has always supported, and who would be' inclined to co-operate in Manage ment as well as Literary Composition. He would rather at once dispose of the whole concern, if he did not venture to conceive that the steadiness of his Political Character has excited the coufi deuce of his Readers, and that his long experi ence may reasonably be supposed to attach srime credit to his competency in the conduct of a Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these a , vtul and threatening times every Public Man should remain at his post, in order to contribute, to the utmost of his power, towards the tlefence of our inestimable Constitution. Several In dividuals have offered to purchase the Paper; but as it was founded under 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 Statesnian to his COuntry, to maintain and perpetuate those Principles which are most conducive to the security of the State and the happiness of the People.* Hence the Ad mirers of that enlightened Minister and true Pa triot may think that a Paper instituted by him, and for such important objects, should be offend to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher considerations than mere regard to pecuniary ad- • vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel fare ; er at least to any other whose interests may be essentially united with the interest of the Coma. try. To such Persons the Proprietor would most willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and, however anxious he way he for repose,.after many ) •ears of toil and solicitude - , he wouill readily act as their Agent so long as his superintendance ' miuht be required. It cannot he necessary to dwell on the high reputation which THE SoN has so long possessed, in consequence' of the undeviating consistency of its Political Character, rind the uniform propriety of its general Conduct. To support a Government acting on the system of Mr. PITT is the main principle by which the Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad herence to that system can it maintain its charac titer. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach ment to a System which comprehends the safety of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser vile concurreace in the Measures of any Admini stration. But while THE SUN perseveres in the same direct course, it may reasonably expect the support of the present Government, on account of its Political Principles, and -the reverence due to the memory of its Illustrious Founder, since an indifference to the fate of such a Paper, on the part of a PITT ADMINISTRATION, would be a sole cism, as well as a reps oath, which it is not likely to incur. With not less confidence may the Paper rely on the protection of the Pito- TeSTANT CHURCH, as it has so strenuously sup ported it that it is supposed to be peculiarly pawnizecl by THE CLERGY ; among 'whom it certainly can boast of many valuable Cor respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be well qualified, by abilities and knowledge, to in struct the Community at large, and, in these times, should consider that they have duties to tultil as Citizens as welt as Pastors, they might . very properly possess themselves of a Paper which would not only enable them to sweat) right principles ice general, but also to check those licentious and impious doctrines which ate daringly inculcated with malignant assiduity, and are manifestly int en.:led to d e stroy the Religion and the Government of the Coun try. The Proprietor may confidently expect the support of the Purl- CLUBS thion , y,hoot the British Empire, considering to whom THE SUN owes its origin, and from whom they derive their appella tion. ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS of a BIRTH-DAY tire of little use, and must fall into languor and decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse and support the Principles upon which those Associations are ptofessedly established. THE SUN may alto 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 Proleision, by exempting' it from all irregular Practitioners and discreditable Intruders. Finally, THE SUN may look'to the PEOPLE AT LARGE for patronage and encouragement on account of the steadiness of its Piinciples, its Public Spirit, and its reso lute endeavours, on all occasions, to promote the Honour and Interest of the Country. Such, then, is the Opportunity which the Proprietor now offers to his Countrymen ; and as, it presents A TEsT TO PUBLIC VIRTUE, and to GENUINE PA TRIOTISM, he should insult the National Cha racter it he were not to suppose that among the admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends 01 THE. CON STtTUTI!)N, many wise, independent, disinterested, snagnanimins BRITONS will he found ready, at this .iwtul crisis, to unite in order to become Pro prietors of a Paper which so obviously possesses peculiar and prominent claims to National Pro• section.—None but Principals need apply in Person, or by Letter, (post-paid) addressed to the PROFRIETnE at THE SUN-OFFICE, 112, Strand. - N.B. This Address will be Conlinued til! the oppnrtnnit y Which it, presents has been fully sub mi,ted to the United Kingdom ; nor will the Proprietor hastily close with ally offer, las lie can hot conceive that, in reference to the revefed F.mnder of the Paper, and its established charac rt i for -political consistency, the Proposal held forth tends to ascertain the extent of Public I,irit. * The Proprietor has been desired, by a Gentleman of rank, who was in the confidenee of Mr. PITT at the time, to state that Tin: SIIN Newspaper was not instituted for the mere support of his own Administration, hut " for the PROTECTION ut the .:•:ING'S GoVERNMENT."

This Meet. ing, justified rteitiler on the ground of collective strength, nor of individual consrquence, in its attempt to identify with the tenor of its own Resolatiouns, the general opinion of the In habitants of Norwich, has proceeded to the unwarrantable length of prejudging and condemning the Prince Regent's Ministers, and the Magistrates of Manchester. With the temper of a proceeding so harsh and ill-timed, we disavow the remote s t feeling of congeniality; in the spiril of a decision so premature and injnvious, we disclaim. all pas• ticlvation. Yielding to none in the disposition to value, or in the de. terrnivation to guard the Chartered Rights of the People to meet and to petition : opposed to no ra.tionul plan of public benefit and advantage, we are at the same time decidedly opitrion tit neither refoparation of abuses nor remedy of 'grievances can be obtained,. nor the temporary distresses. which press alike 'yin!. this Empire and the World at large, can be removed by means of tumultuous assemblages, brought together by artful, and factious ,appeals to prejudice and passion, and excited to the extreme of discontent and irritation by the inthumnatory harangues of Delegates and Nlissionaties, who, under the delusive pretexts of Radical Reform, inculcate disrespect to the Constituted Powers of the State, and disseminate doctrines that tend to overthrow the salutary distinctions of civilized life, to undermine and I..‘e. stray the sacred influences of Religion, and to subvert the Established Government of the Nation. As friends of humanity, as lovers of peace, we sincerely de- plorc the unfortunate occurrences of the 16th of August; yet it is to our minds a source of most consolatory reflection to know, that the Tribunals of the Land have already taken cognizance of the circumstances of that occasion. Impress- ed, therefore, with a well-founded confidence in the upright: Administration of the Lam, we feel equally assured of their adequacy to maintain right,and to redress wrong, for a people persevering in due obedience to them, and honestly appreciat- ins. those social and moral blessings of which they are the safe- guard. Nor can we view the efforts which, in this City and elsewhere, hare been made, in the absence of every thing like complete and authentic infoirnation, to affix guilt of the blackest dye on the Local Authorities of a large and port- loos District, and 01.} those who hare acted under their direc- tion, .at a moment when the case involving their character and conduct may be considered to be in a course of Trial, in any other tight than as an improper and dangerous experi- ment ou popular feeling; as an indecorous infringement on the rights and functions of Juries ; and as directly hostile to. the principles of real English Liberty, and to the cause of impartial Justice.

MANCHESTER, SRPT. 20, 1819 r The vile spirit which at present possesses the lower claSses in this town defies both the restraints of Law and Religion. A constable is not regarded by them. In fact, the regular assistants of the Police, whose persons are of course well known, are frequently assaulted by the mob; and the two last Sundays have been particularly disturbed. Two men were held to bail for occasioning a tumult in the Old Church-yard last Sunday week, so as to suspend Divine service. The aim:it-yard was then filled with the white hatted Reformers. Yesterday alio;her -serious disturbance occurred at the same place. In fact, the number of white hats with green rihatuis or black crape encourages them to commit excesses. And on Sundays they are most particularly numerous, and the wearers, for what reason I know not, assemble very much in the neighbourhood of the Churches. The Riot, for so it may be called, which occurred in the Old Church-yard yesterday, was a disgrace to a religions country. In the afternoon, during ° the performance of Di vine service a man, named Robt. Jones, came into the Church yard, quite drunk, and made a great noise. Platt, Booth, Prinnott, and Batty, four of the Police Constables, were standing at the Church door ; Platt chilly desired the man to leave the Church-yard, and not make a disturbance there at such a time. The man refused, and seas so noisy and abusive, that at length it became neces sary to take him into custody. Batty seized him, and alone took bins out of th¢ church-yard, into an adjoining street. As Batty was note unsupported, inure than 10 , 1 persons got about him with white hats on and endeavoured to rescue the pri soner, they hit Batty many blows. Batty, however; keptsfast ' hold, and as he had not got far from the Church-yard, dragged his prisoner back and shouted to the other constables for as sistance. In the interval before they came up, Batty was knocked down and severely kicked by Jones, the man in custody. Whets the other constables came up, the church yard was nearly - .full Of Reformers. There were several bun drettt present with white hats. The noise was so great as to . aisturb the service. The Churdbwardens came out, and stor v As wei'e flung at theta :and motstabtes. They even tually succeeded in lodging Jones in the New Bailey, and two other mctr, named Peter Whitefield ar.d Robert Williams, who had assaulted the constables. The facts were proved to day before M. Norris, who held them all three to bail to an swer for the assualt at the Sessions. Two men were brought pup before Mr. Norris, who had been apprehended at the Theatre on Saturday night. It was prov ed that many things had been flung that night from the gal lery, aimed at persons in the 4w:es, by which several of the chandeliers were broken. The individuals in custody had been very active in creating a noise and tumult, but as it could not be proved they had actually flung any thing, they were discharged upon promising nut to offend again. .The Reformers are imitating the example set them by Hunt, of preferring charges against persons employed in the execution of the laws. Four attended to-day praying for war rants to issue against different Constables for assaulting them on Sunday night. The Constables complained against being in Court, all the charges were heard. It appeared there were many disorderly persons and great confusion in Deansgate about la o'clock, and that the complainants had been struck by some one. But in three of the cases the persons com plaining could not say who had struck them, though they had previously applied for warrants against particular Constables; and in the fourth case three or four persons swore directly contradictory to the complainant. The cases were dis missed. THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed Last Night. TITEATRE ROYAL, CovENT-GARDEN.---The Maid of the NIII Lord Aimworth, Mr. Philipps; Patty, Miss M. Tree. After which, Cozening.

The following are extracts : " PARIS, SEPT. 20.—The King yesterday re ceived the Ministers, Marshals, General Officers, Public Functionaries, &c.

" The Doke of Bedford has arrived here." Extract of a Letter front Havannah, July 29. " Considerable agitation was experienced here a few days since, owing to accounts being received from St. Jago de Cuba that serious disturbances had taken place amongst tl,e Negroes; who de manded their freedom, and the restoration of a certain track of land. It is said some troops are about to embark for that plaCe. In fact, we can . not obtain any correct information ; but that some disturbances have taken place in that quarter I aye no doubt. 13nsiness is almost at a stand wit(' s; the prices of Colonial produce abroad, will not warrant shipments ; in fact, there is no mode of remiltance without incurring a considerable The general commercial distress has, in a gt eat degree, (lest' oyed all confidence in exchange; and what few undoubted bills there are in mar ket are held at a premium of 5 at . 6 per cent.— 039.

Six . hundred and eighty foreigners, it is said, have died of the fever at Liairannah between the first of bray and middle of June. Front a Philadelphia Paper, of the 10th, re ceived this morning :—" We know that unplea sant reports have been circulated in our own City, and gone abroad, of a malignant fever having made its appearance in Philadelphia ; the fact ill otherwise, and such reports are entirely void of truth. The City and vicinity, there is every reason to believe, were never healthier than at present.' Jamaica Papers to the 18th July arrived this day. The following are extracts t " KINGSTON, JULY U.—Captain HUDSON, of the brig Hero, in which vessel APGREGOR lan away from Porto-Bello after its re-capture by the Spaniards, arrived in this city last week. It ap• pears, from information given by him, that, after swimming off from the shore, our renowned Ge• neral was picked up by a canoe, and conveyed on board the Hero. Capt. Hudson had actually be" gun to warp the brig in shore to assist the corps who still held out, and her guns could with ease have been brought to bear on the town and bat teries ; but APGregor was not disposed to run any more risks, and notwithstanding all the entreaties of the Commodore, and all the incite . ments held out to him, nothing availed. His alarm was too great—he could not be prevailed upon to assist the troops on shore, and as the fort, which yet held out, shortly after capitulated, the Her° sailed off. The Commodore inquired if it were his will and pleasure that he should convey biro to this island, hut our Chieftain declined the v isit, and preferred going to St. Andreas,. where he era rived two days after. He now bestowed reward§ on several of his Officers, and, in order to wiped the disgrace which had befallen himself, be con' ferred the dignity of High Admiral. on his Coal' modore. " On the 12th following, as was stated last week, they left St. Andreas, and proceeded for Port-au-Prince. On the voyage some differences arose between the General and his High Admiral , . and, taking a dislike to the name of the vessel, bs re-christened her, substituting El APGregor. for the Hero,' both being very justly stated I. be synonymous terms. " Shortly after the arrival of El M'Gregor •t Port-au-Prince, the Admiral still continuing is disgrace, unfortunately fell sick, and was accord" ingly conveyed on shore. The General, it scans , now promoted to the command of the El IVl‘Gregor a person, who formerly belonged to his Majestff service, and bad bad the misfortune to be twice broke for malpractices. " Captain Hudson, now shorn of all his b 0 nours, preferred a complaint to President Boyer , and demanded restitution of the brig. The l a tter accordingly ordered a guard of soldiers to go 0° board of her : but, as the troops preceded the owner of the vessel, they reached her first.'" Nl'Gregor, it seems, had the address to persuad e the commanding officer of the guard that th e troops were sent on board for his protection, soar as the fallen Admiral approached, be was warned off. The President, declining to interfere MI further betweeu two British subjects, ordered the Hero to quit the port within 48 hours' which she accordingly (lid for Aux-Cayes, leavia Captain Hudson behind. " In addition to the foregoing, a communicte tion from a very respectable quarter reached till° city, via St. Jago de Cuba, from Aux-Cayes, data the 4th inst. which says,' Sir Gregor IlPGree is just arrived here from Port-au-Prince in th e brig El M'Grcgor ; two vessels from Ireland, BO one ship from London, hate arrived, with abod t 330 men, .to join him ; but his expulsion frog Porto -Bello has damped the patriotic ardour of 61 great number of them, and I am of opinion Oat only such as are in desperate circumstances wig join him in any new adventure —at all events, li t ' tle is to be apprehended from him in his preserl C circumstances."'
