TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. TAYLOR. tie PROPRIETOR Of THE SUN NE W,PAPE R , being desirous of lessening the La bour and Solicitude attending the Conduct of a Daily Piny, is swilling to part with a portion of it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources, whose Political Principles correspond with those which the Paper has always supported, and who would be inclined to ce•operate in Manage ment as well as Literary Composition. He would rather so once dispose of the whole concern, if lie did not venture to conceive that the steadiness of his Political Character has excited the confi dence of hip Headers, and that his long experi ence may reasonably be supposed to attach some credit to his competency in the conduct of a Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these awful and threatening times every Public Man should remain at his post, in order to contribute, to the utmost of his power, towards the defence 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 Statesman to his Country, to maintain and perpetuate those Principles which ore most conducive to the security of the State. and the happiness of the People.* Hence the Ad mirers of that enlightened Minister and trite Pa triot may think that a Paper instituted by him, and for such important objects, should be offered 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 may other whose interests may be essentially united with the interest of the Coon ti y. To such "Persons the Proprietor would most willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and, however anxious lie may he for repose, after many years of toil and solicitude, he would readily act as their Agent so loni as his superintendance might be required. It cannot he necessary to dwell on the high reputation which TIIR SUN has so long possessed, in consequence of the undeviating consistency of its Political Character, and 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 ter. 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 yile concurrence 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 prestnt Government, on account of its Polit ical 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 reproach, which it is not likely to incur. With not less confidence may the raper rely on the protection of the Pao- TLSIANT CHURCH, as it has so strenuously sup ported it that it is supposed to he peculiarly pa ionized by THE CLERGY ; among whom it certainly can boast of many valuable Cor respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must he well qualified, by obilities and knowledge, to in struct the Community at large, and, in these times, should consider that they have duties to fnifil as Citizen• as well as Pastors, they might very properly possess themselves of a Paper which would not only enable them to spit d right principles in general, but also to cheek those licentious and impious doctrines which ate daringly inculcated with malignant assiduity, and are manifestly intended to destroy the Religion and the Government of the Coun try. The Proprietor may confidently expect the support of the I'tTT CLUBS throughout the British Emnire, considering 10 whom Tile SUN owes its origin, and from whom they derive their appella iATl. ANNUAL. CELEBRATIONS of a BIRTH-DAY re of little use, and must fall into languor and decay, unless effective means are taken in diffuse And support the Principlms upon which those Associations are professedly established. THE SUN tnay also expect the support of the REGULAR ISOLICITORs throughout the Kingdom, as that Paper, and that alone, has zealously endeavoured to maitvain the honour of the Legal Profession, by exempting it ft ow all irregular Practitioners pod discreditable Intruders. Finally, TUE SUN may look to the PsorLa AT LARGE for patronage pod encouragement on account of the steadiness sif its Plineiples, its Public Spirit, and its reso lute endeavours, on all occasions, to promote the Ilonoor 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 TEIOTISNI, lie should insult the National Cha racter if he were not to suppose that among the admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends of Ton CON STITUTI,,N, many wiQe, independent, disinterested, maglia,,imons BRITONS will be found ready, at this A whit crisis, to unite in order to become Pro prietors of a Paper which so obviously possesses peculiar and pron►inent claims to National Pro. irc! iott.—None but Principals need apply in Person, or by Letter, (post-paid) addressed to the Paorutcroa at THE SUN-OFFICE, 112,S:rand. N. B. This Address will be continued til! the opportunity which it presents has been fully sub mitted to the United Kingdom; nor will the Ploprietor hastily close with any offer, as he can rim hut conceive that, in reference to the revered Founder of the fatter, and its established charac ter for political consistency, the Proposal held forth tends to ascertain the extent t.t . Public 1 The Proprietor has been desired, by a Gentleman of rank, who was in the confidence of Mr. PITT at the time, to state that Tin.: SnNi Newspaper was not instituted for the mere support of his own Administration, but " for the PaoTecrtoX of the KtNo's GovE.RNmENT." Such was the magnanimous ova!ty of our great departed Statesman. Nerer was " the KlNa's CiovEnNmENT" snore formidably threatened than it is at present, a , id never was it more in need of loyal Adherents. We hope that Mikisters are fully impressed with this truth, otherwise the Throne and the Altar will at last be buried ua • der the rubbish •f Atheistical Anarchy FOR THE SU'J. " This is the day, t speak it with great sorrow, " That we were all t' hare been blown up to-morrow." Michaelsna3 Ere. Ma. EDlTOR—Passing alongSouthwark 7 bridge, a few evenings since, I observed several' parties waiting, as I ascertained, to see a boat-race; of which ,1 wns most pompously informed by an honest Cockney, ‘vho assured me that this is the season for " !towering Matches," and truly, Sir, 1 think lie was pretty right, as we ROW have little else but Roaring Matches from your four-footed neighbours, who assert and exercise their natural right of Roaring in Exeter 'Change, Eastward IIo! to the bipeds who claim the civil right of Roaring to-morrow, in a most uncivil manner, in presence of the two great blockheads of the Cor poration, Gog and Magog to wit—two Gentlemen who had long looked down upon the Citizens in Common Hall assembled, until the Alderman, who by his name is made of the same flesh and blood with themselves, thought proper to bring them down to the level of other blockheads, whe- ther in fur, sarsnet, or grogram. Sir, I fear for the fate of these Civic Veterans, for if they escape being elected Lords Mayor, or Sheriffs, or Members of Parliament, still may they suffer that which time and weather have as yet been linable to inflict upon them. HAMLET'S advice, " not to roar so as to split the ears of the Ground Hugs," will, I fear, not be attended to on the aweful morrow ; and they now are Groundlingo, and should their ears be split either by HUNT'S or ‘VAITHAIAN'S Oratory, by the Bull or the Bully, why, Sir, their heads may be split too, for they are not so hard as other blocks which will be exposed to the same operation.— Then, Sir, if they are not only to be split, but to be bored also during the two hours and a half of the " Wordy Haldermates" Oration, they will he as full of holes as a Reformer's White Hat or a Sintiggler's . Conscience ! Alas, Sir, whilst I am penning these lines, and expressing those fears, the speeches are perhaps preparing which are to du , the job. Perhaps the patriotic haberdasher is now measuring out by wholesale the stuff which he means to offer on the altar of liberty, and retail inch by inch to his gaping audito►s, who, in the privacy of their allies, courts, and cul-de-sacs, are doubtless prac tising a roar which shall last until—until dinner's on the table, when all ideas of rights and wrongs shall be neutralized by Turtle and Madeira ! Those of the Corporate Body who have already talked loudly on the subject, say their voices shall be heard all over the Empire ; but surely, Mr. Editor, they ought to he taught to roar so as not to disturb those who prefer quiet and tranquillity. Bottom says, "I'll roar ynu like any nightingale— I warrant ye, I'll roar so sweet that the Duke will say, Let him roar again, let him roar again !" —and tr u ly, as the civic linen-draper is evidently the Bottom of to-morrow's roar, it he cannot imi tate the nightingale, I trust he will not go beyond the whistle of a Whitechapel hird•catcher, so that the Duke, if he were in town, or the patriotic Major, or the aldermanic Miner, may cry, " Let him roar again !" As the roar will be over when this Epistle makes s appearance to an admiring world, it will be needless to recommend the stopping of cars with cotton ; but as part of the roar is to be about the Manchester affair, I shall close with a short illus tration of that business, in reply to all that has been sung and said, in churches and out of them, respecting it. If a stout, hale, sturdy beggar implores my charity with an humble accent and his hat in his band, his requisition and his mode of petitioning may be said to be agreeable to the st,rictest rules and practice of mendicity. But if, whilst he holds his bat in one band (that hat a white bat), he holds a pistol or a dagger in the other, even though he does not present it at me, and if at the same time he has a paper stuck upon his breast in the modern style, will) the inscription, '' Your money or your life," why then, Mr. Editor, I humbly surmise, that instead of a beggar, he must be taken for a highwayman, and that I have a right to give him into charge of the Civil Power, nay to shoot him, if I am armed, and have no other immediate and ready mode of opposing his de signs upon my purse, and threats against my life This, Sir, with (hie tibmission to the Lew of The Tinses and Chronicle, I consider as sound Law, aye, as " Crowner's Qaest Law ; "—Hnd so, if people will go to the meeting, as the meeting does not go to them, we need not a grave-digger to prove that it is willy nifty felo de se. I !co►st, however, Sir, that we shall speedily be able to give Christian burial to all our political squabbles ; but it is a grave subject, Mi. Editor, and tbetetore I close it.—Yours, IGNOTUS.

We received this morning the Paris Papers o Sunday last. The following are extracts " PARIS, SEPT. 26.—The King took his usual siring yesterday.

" The Chancellor of France has obtained per mission from the King to quit Paris until the opening of the next Session. " The King received yesterday all the Manu facturers, to whom the Central Jury had awarded Muldle. The jury were presented to his Ma jesty by the Minister of the Interior. The Pre sident, the Duke de la Rochefoucauld, delivered a Speech, to which the King returned the following answer :—' I am sensible of the sentiments which you express to me in the name of all the Manu facturers of my kingdom. I receive with so much more pleasure the expression of these sentiments, because they are testified by a Jury comprised of the most enlightened and distinguished individuals. I am certain that with such men we shall have a good trial. From my earliest infancy I was jealous of the prosperity enjoyed by the industry of some of the neighbouring nations ; it was reserved for my old age, to see French industry elevated to the highest degree of glory, and not to yield in any respect in the importance of its improvements and discoveries. It was reserved to me, to have nothing further in this respect to desire. Tell my faithful Manufacturers, that they may alvrays rely upon me, as I can always rely upon them.' The Manufacturers, divided into thirty-six classes, were presented individually to his Majesty by the Minister of the Interior, and received from the bands of his Majesty the medals awarded to theta respectively by the Jury. During this distribu tion, which lasted near two hours, the King con versed very graciously with several of the Manu facturers. Upwards of three hundred medals were distributed. " The French frigate la Galatee, arrived at Toulon the 15th instant, left Algiers the 12th"; she accompanied le Colosse French ship, and the English di% ision, which remained three days at Algiers, and set out the 13th for Tunis. The re sult of the conferences with the Dey is not known. The plague continued its ravages at Algiers. FIVE PER CENTS. Saturday 7l f. toe.
