FOR 'll-1E hUN. JoH.v BULL, E3Q. ER IX. lioNrsT Jail N -11 rrit!VrS me to find that some .of your old As.ociates, fel!ows whom I hoped you bmil sent to 'the right shout, or r4ther to the urong about, bong since, again requecting the honour of your -company nn an approaching St. Monday. It may, in►ieecd, perhaps be as -well for your Stealth and pocket, f.: at you slioii!.l spend best p:►rt of :bat day in tla 7.uen air, instead of slain; iu the ale-house; hence ►valk to Frinvose.hili, or to Peckham, would tit>: refused to yoto by your best friends, cspeci.iLy it you take Mrs. BULL and the little ones along with you ; but to Soak hall the morning in Coni:littee rottros oses Vapid porter, or soul and body ;:estroying esod thence to proceed to an open hti:tirs;:s where even more pernicions trash is pumped off by ig norance, vanity, and pseudo-patriotism, is to brine On a consumption of soul, body, and pocket, endan gering both the natural and political cons:i!ution, and rendering it probable that your family will he presented with an midertaker's bill long be. tore you and your advisers will he alAe to pr,i du,•e a new Bill of Rights better titan what we now possess. I grant you, JOHNNY, tb it your principle of standing up for' your rights, is both honourable nod useful to you and to the country at large ; but surely it is first proper to ascertain what these tights'are, and to guard against being led astray by those who flitter yon with imaginary ones, in older to deprive you of those you already enjoy: uay, if we attempt to enforce rights, or claims to which we have no right, we shall most !rim bably be led to the commission of actual wrong ! For wii;it mutt bec•ii,tie of your t-g':ts, if. the Tights of otht.rs are not respected ? You expect that the Law which can no longer protect the rich inan's palace, may yet be preserved in full force for the protection of the poor ? But let us reflect, for one moment, upon the claim of Annual Parliaments and Univeisal Suf frage. Annual Parliaments, that is, Parliaments which transact political business dining the great est part of each succeeding year, you already pos.. ; kW it yet remains to be proved that these would be amended by Annual Eiection, instead of Annual-Septe n nial Summons. As for Univer sal Suffrage, the ihing, even if it were a right, would heroine useless the moment it might he grun:ect. IVliet all possess no longer possesses a specific value. IVlrat is the experienced value of water or sir, which all may possess without ex pence ? Yet both become invaluable, when re stricted in quantity. What, in fact, world be come of the British Constitution, if, instead of being placed under the specific guardianship of certain number of voters, who always contrive throw a sufficient quantity of Opposition spirit into a House, actuated by pi ide, prejudice, party, and patriotism to do so, it were to be given up to the guardianship of all—of an ALL who, in the universality Of the trust, should lose all stimulus •to action from their private feelings, and conse quently become prepared to act as the tools of the political villain, or so benumbed in public spirit as to sit with their hands in their otherwise empty pockets, and sink inactive under the ruins of a mighty empire ? But tvhat right have you, JonNNY, to Universal Suffrage and Annual Padiaments ? It is possible, and no more than possible, that you might obtain atid maintain them for a short time, by the appli cation of " physical force "—but where is the right vhich you claim ? There can be but two sorts of rights—those of nature, and in sncicty. Now what have Parliaments or votes to .do with the first ? In fact, JOHNNY, you might - weir talk of a natural right to a well done beefsteak To the steak itself you might have a natural right in a mere state of nature, if there were cattle and you could catch them ; but as to the cookery, that is an artificial arrangement, which you must exercise yourself, or go with out ; for the moment you persuade, or force any other individual to cook it for you, the state of nature ceases, and you are in society. But then, in society, rights can only exist as Eloptt d by circumstance, and sanctioned by cus tom, or settled by agreement, and maintained by effective power. To all these things, whethe • preexistent to, or cu-existent with, your entrance into, and passage through, life, you become a tacit sii!)scriber, whilst you avail yourself of the advati :4::::s of that society or share its protection. But thlt does not give you a right to overturn what ever• suits not your fancy, no more than you have a ri,r,ht to conspire against the laws of a country in to which yon enter• voluntarily. In short, JoiINNY, generation' are interlocked ; Mod therefore ail things arc so itrterknit together, Chet no ihili%itlual can wllll Propriety draw a liR• which shall ,circumsetibe hi; duties, nor extend these lines which comprize his claims, except in the specific paths which the rules of society point out, and in following which the humblest born may rise to the highest situations in the empire, shott of Royalty itself. It follows, therefore, that it is against the well being of society, (or any man, or for nny specific class of men, to start up and say—" Here we art—these are our right,"—claiming; such as have never yet been possessed either by them or their predeces,:ois. As for the rights now claimed, it such rights had been in vogue and in practice, six hundred, or even one hundred years ago, then :he " !lyre we are" of o-day would have been very different f rom what it really is, nay the very people, who now exclaim Agninst our present st -lie, would not have been in existence ! I'opula- Fi1 , 15 could not possibly have arisen to such an height in the course of the last t o century as i[ has done, under such a train of events as would follow Annual Pitliaments and Universal Soffr,ige, 'Chen where would your grumbling family have been i Why, my honest friend, not one in ten of thou.sands assembled in Peter's-field, or at liutisl•.!t Moor, would ever have seen the light of day, or known the blessings of that existence chick toey now depreciate !• 13 , 1 t I shall nut trespass tti,on your reasoning kteulties any further at present, JoHNNy. On an early occasion you shall hear again from Your's, FOR THE SUN. TO IGNO IGNOTL'S. Fitt--Von have done my Wife and myself the favour of writing several letters to us, all lull of excellent 'ense, and special good advice. For my own part, Sir, I think every word of them nut only true, hut seasonable : and MARY thinks the same, so tar as she etends to judge ; which is not very tar, as she minds little beyond her church awl her house. 10 all your letters, Sir, there is but one thing wrong ; rind that is---etlzeir address. ‘Ve are some tadt hurt that you should suppose us capable of turning to.lI the folly and wickedness of the Re foriuet s, as we have always been noted for fear ing God, honotning the and doing as we \vould be done by. But. to ascribe to us the noise And the nonsense, and the rioting of such a par cel of idle men and meddling women !—really, Mr. IGNOTUS, %VC (10 not deserve it from you. The troth is, Sir, there is a bastard cou,io of who goes about the conntry assuming my name, and d.tceiring simple folks upon my credit. llis mother was a foreign hostitute, who died lately of the flench Disease ; and lie has taken up With a profligate Trull, One BST RADICAL, of not u bit better character, and who will assuredly come to no better rod. This fellow's real name is JOHN ASS he is much troubled with a disorder, now go i lig sad ground in England, and which an hundred years ago teas called the hochle • grackles : —a let rible disorder, Sir ! two stomachs to eat, and neuer a one to wolk. Not that i should care, it only the knave himself were ill of it ; but unfor tunately it is contagions, and communicated by the breath. So he goes up and down, infecting nil who are heedless enough to come within his reac h. li e i s also ignorant and obstinate, as well AS MalleioOS :—he refuses instinction, rejects per suasion, Hod resins kinduess.—ln short, Sir, he will train nothing hut gracelessne•s, follow no thing but mischief, and yicld to nothing but hard blows. 'There is only one piece of %yolk which he likes,----anti that, he will readily do all day long. In the true spirit of his family, he will yoke himself to a cart or gig, and (haw a se. &lions tniscreant up and clown the town, yelling and braying till his throat is sore.-13ut, tell him to go to honest labour, or to church ; and he will stiffen his back and yet k out his heels at you, like an ass as he is. And an impudent little animal, one of his pro geny, you have written to as toy daughter !—Sir, would have you to know, MISS ANNES FLODDER Ass has no title to our name. I utterly disclaim her, and so does my wife. No, Sir, we have a nitmerous wnom we are bleeding up in another guess manner. You will see their per sons in the Yeonraory Corps, and their names in the Loyal Associ 'lions ; the legitimate !children of Mr. and Mri. liuLL. But, when you find a lazy, ignorant, stubborn' knave, bent upon all mis chief, and set against all good ; blaspheming Hea ven, or hurraing Ilvsiven's blasphemers ; carrying seditious haoners ; following seditious brawlers; advise him agtlinst hts bad courses as 10I) as you please ; but do not take him for one of our family. Know him for what be is---RADICAL JACK As: ; but do not fancy him any kin to JOHN BULL. King-street, Corner of Church-lane, October 23, 1819.

"_ . T . he Powers of Germany are not yet agreed respec!ing the fortresses of the Confederation. Austria insists upon being the pi incipal place d'arines. Bavaria Ivishes to have for ilied Rasta& and Donnueschingin, in order to cover Swabia, and stop an enemy in the dtfilcs of the Black Forest. 'flit other votes are in Nvoor of both Ulla and Rastadt, but the difficulty is to find funds. MAtinFmu, OcT. 16.—The Commissioner of Baden to the Central Tribunal of Mayence, has joined tire Austrian Commis,ioner there, but none of the others have yet art ived. 6 4MADRID, OCT. 13.—The intelligence from Andalusia continues alarming ; the epidetny is still making progress at Cadiz. The Ist instant, the deaths were 89 ; the 2d, 91 ; the 3d, 79 ; the 4th, 82. The number of sick on the Ist was 9,230.

" FRANKFORT, OCT. 17.—The existence of the Central Commission at Mayence becomes every day more problematical; according to the repints in general circulation, it will nut be placed in a state of activity. It is believed also that the measures ordered respecting the Press will not be executed with much rigour, at least in some States, It is sup posed the Censorship will not be severe in Wur temberg or Bavaria, or even in Prussia. • " lIAMBURGI4, OCT. 12.—Sonie digturhances have again taken place at Konigsberg, directed against the Jews ; the windows of several houses were hinken," The report that Mr. CANNING has had an inter view with the Princess of WALas, is said to be without foundation ; and we believe there is a' little authority for the rumour of her imeatied re turn to this Country. W e h ave received Quebrc Gazettes to the lf,;h of September, from which it appears that Mr. Justice MONK, as Senior Member of the Execii • live Council, had assumed the Civil Government Of the Province ; and that, on the 14th of that -month, tLte. lius:QurkiWc ;rm.: It - Qtnrc4 4 . the next Member of the Council in rotation, bad did, 'l t the age "f sixty, having held that situation for many years.—For further news from this Col"P it. , e refer to our Extracts in another column.

The Speakers, among whom were Mr. llrtouon A:4 and Mr. CuRIVEN, touched of course upon o ' e Manches er Transactions, and of course, I' l " c the other Meetings of the same descriptio n, condemned the Magistrates and YsomAN l ' l Cavalry of that place, not wai:ing for lega l inquiry, hut seeing the whole case by inttrit )o4 ' Resolutions to the s:‘rne effect were pot an j carried.
