The Sun. — London, England, 1819-10-12 00:00:00

TO THV PUBLIC. Ala. TAYLoa has been honoured with so many totnmunications, expressing the satisfaction of the respective Writers on the continuance of his INTERSST u THE SUN, that he may fairly consi der them et fits expiession of the general opinion. lish them would, however, subject him to the'ch„rge•of vanity; and to suppress the men tion of them altogether, would riot only deprive his Journal of a powerful testimony, but himself of-a welcome reward. Mr. TAYLOR 1189 been long and (actively before the Public. After the service of so many years, be feels himself not unwarranted, while acknow ledging its favour, in claiming it as his desert.— llitt be should have testified very little gratitude, if, in withdrawing from that unwearied exertion of menus] and indeed corporeal labour, where unto so large a portion of his life has been de voted, he had not taken care to transfer it to a Gentleman, • whose principles, and zeal, and fidelity, hare already been conspicuous in the GIKAT CAUSS oW 0t.1,i1 CHURCH AND STATE.—To tech a twin alone,'hirwoold have consigned the future guidance of As SUN', with either satisfac tion to himself, or justice to the Public. Of the rapid and secure prosperity of the Jour nal, which Mr. Tavt.ox is still bound to by IN TEREST, as well as habit and attachment, he has no' doubt, knowing, as he does, its future Conduc tor. Nevertheless, he cannot refuse himself the pride—or the vanity, as some may call it—of thinking how much of that prosperity will arise, not only from a continued adherence to the prin ciples of Mr. Prue, the Illustrious Founder of this Journal, but to the character which lie has esta blished for its Loyal and Patriotic consistency. TO TIIE MULTITUDE. Before it shall be too late, I warn you of the consequences to which your Leaders are hurrying you. They depend upon your Radical ignorance, for assisting them to Radical Reform. And with this object, they would debase and brutalize your minds ; knowing well, that while you retain one spark of honesty, or religion, or intellect, you are unfit for their purposes :—Nay, rather opposite thereto. I am not going, at this time, to instruct you in the fearful ends of the French Reformers. They tvlio set that dangerous stone rolling, soon felt its recoil upon their own heads. It the English Reformers can move that stone, 1 hope—ail(' indeed know—that it will bring in its motion the same crush. I care not for their safety :—and 1 should rejoice in their fall. The HUNTS, and the TsumevrooDs, the PEARSONS and the \VATSONS, the WatriimANs and the BVIDSTTS, may clo s e their. sileculations—for aught I care—as did the 13.0DEs11 R RES and the NI A RATS , the DANTONS. and the HRBERTS, the BRISSOTS and the Oa- LEANSES. Better talents than they possess, and perhaps honester minds, could 'not escape the French scaffold ; on which the blood of the de stroyer was mingled with that of his victims. lint my anxiety is for you—you, who arc to be their instruments—you, who must be rendered Godless as well as Kingless, before you‘will over turn for them the Throne and the Altar. For this purpose, .having taught you to regard all In s(itutions as oppressions, to hate the Sovereign, to deride the Priesthood, to neglect the Church, to abandon the Slats, their next step is to urge you—as they hr re done at Manchester—to make a bonfire of your Bibles !—Oh, my friends—well are these false villains aware, that having once pre vailed on you to leap the gulpk, all beyond is a straight and level road.—They induce you to teach blasphemy to your infants, because it no t only familiarizes those unconscious innocents, but Ourselves, to the disregard of every religious re straint. And, take that away, neither loyalty, sior boneity, nor self-interest, will retain any power over your minds. It was among the main objects of the French Rebellion, to destroy England. The arch Tyrant, BUONAPARTE, who gathered for himself alone the whole profit of that bloody enterprize, declar ed, that if tie could get possession of England, whether he could conquer her or not, he would Lave made her unfit for any human being to live in.—And will Englishmen `do the dirty work of the French Revolutionists, after they have lost their lives in the attempt I Nu.--I am sure you will not. You will leave your deluders to hazard their own bodies—about which they arc careful enough—and their own souls—about which I wish they were half as care ful :—in a contest, which sooner or later can have only the same result; the destruction of its instigato)s, either by the halter of the Law, or by the axe of Revolution. Upon tide subject 1 shall enlarge :—your Leaders niust be exposed. . i'F.RTINAX. FOR THE SUN. M. EDITOR-4 mug still he 'allowed to keep clear of metaphors, especially where , opposite sciences are mingled in a union whereof they are naturally incapable. I cannot argue upon any common properties in mathematical points and chymical spirits, angles and faeces, concoctions ar•.d circles. 1 really thought, Sir, that I had come pretty closely to tire object of my disquisition. In the bingtlage of your Correspondent, since we must " speel by the card," I t bonght the people had something better than the " feces," when I al• lowed their right to a third pact of the " con coeliOn." Whether or not the social contract of other States originally formed a Democracy, or an Oli garchy, or a Monarchy, or which of these sprang ma of the other, is beyond our present question. Neither are we bound to discuss " surmised contracts ;" which I am too apt to consider as part of the lunar records. Our business is with the English Constitution alone, and I RIO sure that l'aaeosm will, on a very little reflection, abandon the dangerous ground of ,first principles. We twist act upon what we are, not what we hare been, nor what the Reformers want us to be. PRO.. POSITI, who is himself a Gentleman, and compli. mews me with the same character, will not de sire the interposition Of a Rodicoi. Such inter position I shall never notice bot in one way. Unintendingly, however, he throws over his system an air of radicalism, by travelling upwArds to human conventions, civil societies, social con tracts, and presumed agreements ; and he will permit me to observe something very like a fal lacy in his paralleling the one Constitution of Britain, to the three Constitutions of three other States ; each of which severally possessed ill its origin one of the three characters which Britain has united. Yes, we now possess such a Constitution as l'aorosyrt describes, and I am pet fectly satisfied with its possession, without troubling myselt a.►out its origin,. " Consolidated, they are supreme tor Legislation." 1 thank PROPOSITI for this emphatic sentence, the conciseness whereof emulakes its clearness. He has in six words embodied and established my, argument. Consolidated, they are supreme, se parated they are powerless. 1 mu glad of his able support, and willingly march under the standard of such a Leader. " Consolidated, they arc supreme, (or legisla tion." I must not emulate the excursive fancy of your Correspondent ; or I could almost venture to blend his mathematicals and chymicals with a commercial metaphor, and call the British Con stitution the Three Consols. For legislation."—And is not this the apex of supremacy )—ls not the power o. directing what is to be done, superior to the power' of doing it ?=—Does not the very, term " Executive" imply the fulfilment of a power - emanating elsewhere ? My 'argument would, indeed, be worse t lien idle, if it presumed to place the snpremary of legisla tion in any one of the Three Estates, orapy where but in their triple concurrence. Without that concurrence nothing Can he Law ; with that concurrence, will PitOPO , ITI say what can NOT be Law? For the sake of the King'w executive function, which is necessary to vitalize the enacttnents of the Legislative Body, allegiance is due to him.— But allegiance it ?rot 'due to hint as one of the three parts of tliat Body,' more than to the other two; the allegiance ‘vbicb is due, and, indeed, essential to the concurrent supremacy of the ihrce, is given to HIM ; not only becamie as a single person he alone can personally reserve it, but be cause he alone 'is charged with the execution of that Law which he bad legislatively concurred in making. In a word, executively, the King is singly su preme, quoad such' execution ; and he has many prerogatives for the'salety and the dignity of such execution. Legislatively, he is concurrently su preme'; and nothing more—for be "cati 'do no thing of himself. And if he is not, surely - the, lords are not singly supreme ? Nor •the •CoM mons ?—Certainly not:—Tire Supremacy rests in the whole ; and the Executive Power is botind to . execute their will. Is this Toryism ?—No. For it attributes not any supremacy to the King.—ls it \Vliiggism No. For it attributes as little to the People.— Is it not Constitutionalism ?--For it attributes all supremacy to the Constitution. But, for the Hie of me, Sir, I cannot understand the supremacy which your Correspondent attri butes to the King—as a substantial supremacy I mean—nor the allegiance which be acknowledges to the King, as the Executive Functionary 01 the Constitution ; while he withholds it from the Constitution, whereof the King is only a third part.—lndeed, Sir, such an assertion must have " proved itself," if it has been proved at all. And if, as Pnorostrt insists, the three powers of the State reside—one in the People themselves, " with whom it originated ;" another in the COD slitUlloll, which was " marked out " l,•g"t/te Peo ple; and the third is that "form of Government" which is the " effect of that Constitution."-1 should be glad to know which of these three parts is not radically, and operatively, and consecutive ly, popular. For it seems to me, in all its three parts, to be nothing else but—the people—the people—and the people :—while allegiance is the singular and " paramount " pretogative of their executive officer. And all this time, the Church too is a part of the State, emanating also, I pre sume, from the people. And this tri-popular thing, to which I scarcely know bow to give a name, is not the Parliament, nor of course any part of the Parliament,—hut an invisible exist ence, which the Parliament (including its " para mount " King) must obey, and cannot alter. lu such a view, Sir, it must have been contemporary with the " social contract," from which your Correspondent informs us that the Parliament ori ginated ; and can include nothing that was enact ed by the Parliament. Such Parliamentary no velties as the Act of Settlement, the hill of Rights, and Magna Charta, are of too modern date for this extra-parliamentary power, this , THE SUN.

It is understood that Marshal Gouvion St. Cyr,-not, having been able to obtain in the Coun cil (;1 Ministers the placing the Veterans in active service, has given in his resignation.—(f uzetic de France.) " it is entirely unfounded, that the Erneror of Russia has 740,000 men under arms, or that 160,000 are to be levied. The effective force of the Russian army is 400,000 men, and the new levy is to produce 60,000, Ocr. 9.—Yesterday the Cardinal de Perigord took possession of the Archbishopric of Pal ►s. 1-lis Eminence WAS installed by the Chapter with a grand 'ceremony. The reliques of Sr. Denis were afterwards conveyed in procession, the Archbishop following them to the Chapel of tI,• Archbishopric in the Cathedral.

Our ship of the line, Capri, has 8 160 sailed to display our flag off the African Coast." ' (Fume 71e National Letelligencer of Sept. 1.) The Military Expedition fron► the Lakes to the. Mississippi, consisting of the sth regiment of 10- fantry, under Colonel LEAVBNWORTEI, arrived at Prairie du Chien about the first of July, by (hi way of the Fox and Oii;cen►er rivers. A de' tachrr►ent has ,also asetrided the Mississippi, Irool St. Louis, with provisions, clothing, and amm ni(ion. Our Correspondent states, that Col. I will have it in his power to establish the post at the Falls of St. Anthony this season. We also learn , that the Missow i Expedition, under Col. ATICO;' sort, was in advance of St. Charles, and, nottvith' standing the delay occasioned by some defects i 3 the steam-boa . ts, there was no doubt the (roof , ' would arrive 600 miles in• advance of St. Loui e this season, well supplied with provisions, cloth' ink, and ammunition. The character - of Colonel ATKINSON warrant' the belief that the•a;rangetnents of Gore-some° will be cart ied into hull effect without collision with our Citizens or the Indians. It is said an Indian War is brewing hetwees the Cherokees and Usages ; that hostilities have actually commenced, and tie former are the or gressors. The, Whites, or either of the 1 1 € 4 Tribes will profit• by this.
