FOR THE SUN. MOH ARISTIDRS enters upon the analysis of uy Letter, he cannot (-wide himself to put ques •thms, or to require answers. I will, however, tell him the benefit of the exclusively-established Religion which 'I have recommended, it he does pot already see in the general toleration of all 'dissent, the mischief which I have deprecated . That benefit, had it been legitimated among us, would have been—the utter itrtpossibiliry of any deviation front the Religion or the State . ; and, consequently, of those horrible blasphemies which have lately contaminated and blasted our eats.— . If ARISTIDES thinks that this %could be " more dre d fill than the utmost effort of Radicalism ;" if be would rather suffer the abomination of in fidelity, than forego the luxury of Sectarism ; /te and I can open no arnica's,le discussion. Me slam of his argument IS this, the old bur -Olen of eirry•Sectary's sang, that all " light and linowledge" are -cetoered in some :(I'know not vihich) of the •hunrired thssenting•con4regations which have sprung up and swarmed of nom Our Church ; whilelter Establishment is so dark and so ignorant as to ".leave the parr:. an easy prey " to Radicals and - Blasphemers." If the " Brother " Ringletub3," whom ARCSTIDESIOIIOAVS With so much edification, can do nothing better against the infidel enemy than did the irreverend Brother INNYS, when be spoke with such vulgar handi craft indecency of our Great Saviour, I shall not repent my ignorance of JEREMI4WS locubra tiouN. Neither, if they are in the dialect of his Caledonian Proverb, shall I regret my in conversance with thelaugmage of that black bigot JonN KNox,•the -Cameronians,The •Covenanters, the Gospellers, et guotiis nomine gandent. It is odd, that while commenting on Brother IMNYs end 'his precious oratory, those fanatic Northerns should - have rushed upon my mind with all their nonsense. it is odd too, that Brother—or Sister AVISTIDES (for perhaps he is his own " old wo man"') could not defend him without slipping into his phraseology. • " Forced prayers hae •nae pith." Oh, .no. — Sectaries and Radicals have a 'sympathetic objec tion to'. force." These arc in religion what those are in politics. The cry "of Church and King," is perhaps not less uncomfortable to them than the cry of " HUNT for ever ;" .and why not - ?—since, as ARISTIDES informs us, it is " founded ou a " blind and ignorant enthuSiasm." ,Among the books which this Scoto-Athenian recommends to my study, 4 have read the whole of the first, and the advertisement of the last.— Of the first, the New Testament, I remember enough to shook the ee•t;gc.dert ....1.:01. I vent about to give him for presuming my ignorance of its lessons, and enough to satisfy me that their observance is found and enforced in the Establish ed Church. Of the last, I remember only, that I saw the " Anti-Catliedralist" very conspicuously placarded on the pillars of some Dissenting-house, God knows what ; and that it did in the most virulent and illegal terms oppose the erection of any New Churches. I could almost concur with ARISTIDES, in his accusation—that the Establish ment " leaves the poor an easy prey to Radicals " and Blasphemers," when I see that she possesses not the resolution to defend herself against such covert Radicals as the " Anti-Cathedralist." In my turn, I will recommend to SAWNEY APARISTIDES a book, which will make a very handsome addition to his spiritual library.—lt is entitled, " Scotch Presbyterian Eloquence ;" and he will find in it many such choice flowers as festoon the discourse of Brother INNys.—But these, he will tell me, are the genuine garlands of the Church, dipped in all the dews of devotion and all the odours of sanctity. The more I see, and the more I hear, the surer is' my conviction of what I had . long suspected—that Popery is not nearer allied to Paganism, than is .Presbyterian ism to Popery. Nov. 22. TENAX. (From the Plyniouth Telegraph of Nov. 27.) Extract of a Letter from Bermuda, dated Ireland Island, Oct. 6, received yesterday. " The season has been so sickly at St. George's that not less than 300 persons have died of the fever. The sappers and miners have lost two thirds of their men ; the 15'n Regiment 70 pri vates besides women and children. Captain C. Mercer, of the Engineers, and several others of note, have fallen victims to this dreadful malady. Some few instances of fever have also occurred at Hamilton and Somerset. We have not been allowed to send a boat to St. George's for the last six weeks ; yet I am afraid the fever has made its appearance in this inland ; one man was sent to the hospital last Friday, and died in 24 hours after, and another is just now sent ►off to the same place. Those who arrived last here front your dock-yard are all well at present, and I hope will continue so, for if the fever were to break out among them, the consequences would be dreadful. The approach of this fatal disease is attended by head-acl► and pain in the back ; short ly afterwards sickness in the stomach commences, and theu follows what is called the ' black vomit,' and few, if any, recover from it. The medical *men here have made every effort to stop its pro gress, by giving large doses of calomel, and lime slaked in milk, but without success.'' TO THE EDITOR ov TIIE SUN.

FLINT. FOR 'TIE SUN. MR EDITOR—Your Correspondent TEWAX has certainly made some very good observations in his Letters, and in many of his sentiments I heartily concur ; but he has very imprudently touched the drk, by holding up to ridicule the word Bethel, which he ignorantly supposes the Seamen do not understand. I must therefore inform him, that the Seaman often knows more of the ,Bible than some tenacious Landsmen do, and as all seafaring men receive most of their orders by Signals and Emblems, the plan adopted for collecting a strong muster on board vessels in the Thames or at Sea, by a Flag with the word Bethel on it, a signal ex plained beforehand, is truly consistent with Scrip ture and Sea-practice. With respect to the sneers cast upon the persons who on such occasions ad dress the men, for using too great a familiarity with the Bible, and even with Christ himself, I would say, first, that a garbled statement of any man's speech or sermon, is as likely to distort the Whole, as a garbled extract from the Bible or Common Prayer Book, and equally wide of the truth, and of course reprehensible. But making allowance for the sake of argument, that such language has been used as is unbecoming; I would secondly ask, whose fault is it that such persons as TENAX condemn, have never been an ticipated in their well meant labours, or excelled in their zeal and earnestness for the good of poor seamen, by men of learning regularly instructed and appointed by the Church for the work of the Ministry ? TENAX is a Churchman, and so am I, but TENAX has forced me to remind him, " that the work he complains of being badly per formed, was and has been hitherto shamefully ne glected, and left undone, by those whom TENAX `would consider as the most fit for the duty." Granted that they are so, they are not ready, not authorised, not commanded, shall I say, not allowed to do it ; and is the work to stand still because the fittest men cannot set about it ? Are souls to perish in the Deluge of Iniquity for want of an Ark or Float ing Chapel, because only unlearned men are to be found to man it and take the helm ? Our Saviour's work must not stand still, sailors and fishermen, if they can read the Bible, and if they feel its Divine contents powerfully working in their hearts, are instruments in an Almighty hand efficient for the purpose of instructing seamen and fisher• men in their best knowledge. TENAX is out of his element when he gets afloat. —Let hint stick to his last, let him level his blows on the dull heads of deluded Radicals, and shake the Whigs for their rshee, but let hiM not unintentionally shoot his arrows at the Clergy of the Establishment, by finding fault with those who zealously do their work for them, though in a homely and a seaman like style.-1 am sure if the Church would provide the means of instructing and moralizing these men who assemble in the Ark, the present preachers would willingly be their Clerks, and be content to lead the singing. PERTINAL HIS MAJIISTY.—Tbe state , of our venerable and truly beloved Sovereign must be highly interest ing to his loyal People, and therefore we have thought it our duty to endeavour vo obtain the best information on the subject. We uiideratand that he declined las food on Wednesday, but re turned tO it on the following day; and though he has somewhat fallen away, yet we learn that there is no foundation for the report of those alarming symptoms of an event that, whenever it may happen, will excite the regret of all who admire 'exemplary conduct in a , condition of life inevitably exposed to the snares of flattery, and the temptations of luxurious indulgence. We received yesterday and this morning the Paris rapers of Thursday and Friday last. The KING held a Council on Wednesday, at which the new Ministers, with the others, attended. She Constitutionael ha • s a report that there will be another change of Ministry, the present Ministers being unable to command a maiority in the Chamber of Deputies. It appears, however, that the funds had in some degree recovered. The intelligence from Stockholm mentions, that on the formal demand of Lord STRANGtrottb, anti on the security tendered by his Lordship, the KING had ordered the restitution of great part of the merchandize seized us contraband in Norway, but the owners are cited before the tribunals, in order that the 'question may be judicially decided. The Moniteur of Friday contains a Royal Oi. donnance restoring Lieutenant-General the Count de GROUCHY to all the rights, titles, rank, and honours, which he enjoyed previous to the 19th March, 1815; The following are further extracts from the Papers of Friday : " PARIS, Nov. 26 —The King took an airing yesterday. flu Majesty is r et fectly recovered from his indisposition. The King gave a private audience to the Count Barbe Marbois. In the evening his Majesty transacted business with the Count Decazes. " It is said, that the Duke de Broglie and the Count Mol6 have both refused the Etubasty to London. " M. de Rothschild, chief of the celebrated Banking•house, has received from the King of Denmark, the insignia of the Order of Danebrog. This favour has, it is said, been conferred upon him as a reward for his services, in negociating a loan for the Court of Copenhagen. " The last Number of La Bibliotheque Lfistorique has been seized, by order of the Procure'''. du Roi. " In digging at Rome, a wall has been dis covered, bearing the following inscription in red letters, and in bas relief : In His. Prxdiis. Insula. Sertoriatia. Bulo. Asse. Aur. Cyriacei is. Filiao. Mex. Cyriacula. N. VI. Tabernas. N. XI. Et. Itepossone. Subiscalire. " This inscription torments all the antiquaries of Rome, none of them being able to explAin the last two words. FIVE PER CENTS.

Those Rival Radicals, The Morning Chronicle , anti The (Old) Times, proceed in the career of graceful emulation, to depress the hopes of tli° People, and to condemn, by anticipation, those measures which all good and wise men must ad' trait to be necessary for the protection of Govern.. meat, and the very existence of the Coustitn' tion. The Morning Chronicle has, for a wonder , suspended this day its attacks upon The Courier, in which it so often indulges itself much to the manifestation of its own taste, anti the delight and edification of its Readers. But The (Old) Times , with the same correct taste and laudable zeal, fullf" serves the purpose. It has been asserted with shrewdness that no man thinks much of anothef whom he despises, and therefore The Courier bas a right to infer that it is an object of respect, if not fear, to both of the Radical Journals in ques tion, but particularly the latter. The Chronicl e this day, however it may attempt to disguise its feelings, seems to be really afraid that the Bank will be in readiness for Bullion Payments on 0 16 first la f next month, that we shall not, as it says " be again -exposed to those ruinous fluctuation s in the value of Paper-currency," the complaints of wbich have been chiefly issued and excited by itself. And its radical impatience cannot wa it ' even a day for those measures which the safety of the State may imperiously require, being sore, 0 04 whatever they may be will only tend to restrain the excesses of a seditious Press.
