~, _~__. FOR TIIK SUN. Mu. Emma—Allow we to express the pleasure fed at finding you intend to continue a Pro. prietor of THE SUN ; as lam convinced it will be con , itteire to the respectability of your valuable Journal, and beneficial to the Constitution. My reasons for this conviction I shall at present wave, lest I should be supposed to flatter, more espe cially so, as I again offer you my free and conti nued communications as a Correspondent, who Nvtites neither for praise nor profit, but from mo tives already stated in a communication signed Biti,VITAS. And am, with every sincere wish for - - the increasing circulation of your Journal, Oct. 8. A BRITON. ** We have beep indebted to this Corres pondent for several judicious articles, and re thank him for his good wishes. FOR THE SUN. MR. was highly gratified by the an nouncement in THE SUN of Tuesday that your interest in it still continues. It has ably and suc cessfully contended against the enemies of the Altar and the Throne, during the most perilous period of our history; and I should regret any circumstance which might cause the Paper to he deprived of your valuable assistance. These are times when the hearty co-operation of all good men is required to stem the' torrent of Sedition ; we cannot afford to lose one individual from the gallant host who are combatting in defence of our most venerable establishments. So many and so various are the modes of attack, that the utmost vigilance is requisite to defeat them ; and the ola• ligat ions of the whole Country are due to the 'sound part of the Public Press, which is so nse folly employed in detecting the falsehoods of the seditious and blasphemous Oracles of the day. I trust that the public spirit, for which Eng lishmen were once so famous, wilt not continue to sleep ; but that all loyal subjects will shake off the torpor in which they have too long indulged ; and evince their determination to support the Constitution against all its enemies, Leeds, Oct. 1, Isl 9. HOMO. FOR THE SUN. lgR. EDlTOR—Without wishing to cast the least shadow of blame on the conduct or princi ples of those on whose decision, in various trials, have depended the characters, the property, and even lives of individuals arraigned and tried un der various charges, I beg leave to submit, w those to whom it may belong, officially to scut tinize into the fitness of individuals to be either Witnesses or Jurymen, the absolute necessity (which the present laxity of morals has suggest ed) of asking this important question of such persons as are about to take an Oath .—Do you from your heart believe that the Bible is the Word of GOD, by which you yourself expect to be tried at the Judgment Day ? If the -answer be -in the affirmative, the Oath must be administered, and Got) is a witness whether the answer be true or false. If in the negative, which as the lunumer able publicaaions of CARLTLB and others seem fully to give reason to expect, the Oath should be refused, and the person rejected ; for it is not right that persons whom no sanction can bind to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, should he allowed to hear witness or decide upon cases--perhaps of life or death. Believing, as we do, in a future, state, whatever may be our creed, we would not wish to hurry an immortal soul hastily and unjustly before the High Tribunal of an unerring Judge, which might be.spared, if truth were elicited, and a true Ver dict given, until space ,for repentance afforded had been embraced, and mercy shewn by Him who pardoneth iniquity, transgression, and sin, and will by no means clear. the guilty and impe nitent from eternal punishment. I profess not to be Lawyer enough to decide whether suclt.a ques tine can be put as the Law now stank, but I ant Christian enough to wish that it may; and I think that there is sufficient impudence in the defamers of the Bible to declare in answer to it, for the sake of consistency, that they do not believe it ; and of course the Public will then Eliot how to appreciate their evidence, if it were taken or their decision, if they were allowed to decide on any legal or criminal case. It is not sufficient for tilt safety of society, that the Laws be good and effective, if they who are necessary appendages to the execution of the Laws he not conscientious persons, who would not think k a mere trifle to. swear falsely on a Book which they consider to he sacred. That there are Atheists, Deists, and Soeiniaus among the British population, no man eyed attempt to deny, for they openly profess their blasphemous end heretical tenets ; such :lieu's names may creep into the Lists of Wit nesses or Jurors ; but I hope and trust that not (-veil Atheists, Deists, and Socinians will ever be permitted to be arraigned, tried, and condemned Iv , their Evidence or on their Verdict. I feel on this occasion more than I can express, for I would not look, or he thought to look back, but prepare to, ,that is to come, and I trust that the voice Of Cie feeblest watchman UNDER TUB SUN will nut ty lifted up in vain . . • VIGIL. IVe received last night and this morning, the Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday last.— The following are Extracts : " PARIS, OCT. s.—The King yesterday visited the Duchess de Berry, whose health, at well as that of Ithdemoiselle, continues in the most satis- factory state. "The Countess or Gotldand (Queen of Sweden) has quitted Frankfurt to proceed to the waters of Pyrmont. " The vintages have commenc , :d in several of the Departments, and there is every prospect of an abundant produce and of excellent quality. " OCT, 6.—Yesterday the King gave a private audience to the Duke de Fenian Nunez, the Spa nish Ambassador, who notified to his Majesty the marriage of his Sovereign the King of Spain with the Princess Maria Josephine Amelia, niece of the King of Saxony. The English, Russian, and Neapolitan Ambassadors afterwards paid their respects to his Majesty.

" LEIPSIC, SEPT. 25.—Some persons of the lowest class, recently began to call out Hepp (the signal for outrages against the Jews), but several of them Were arrested by the 'police, and the cry has not since been repeated. " FRANKFORT, SEPT. 29.—From the effect of the Resolutions come to at Carlsbad, and adopted by the Diet, it is expected thai the Press in Germany will be more enslaved than in 1813, though it may be doubted whether this coup d'etat will fulfil the intentions of those who con ceived it. " VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—The new military levies which continue to be made in Austria, begin to excite some sensation. They are, however, only measures of precaution. " SEPT. 25.—Since his return from Carslbad the Prince de Metternich has been continually trans acting business with the Emperor, and sending off Couriers to all the German Courts. Se veral have been dispatched to Petersburgh, and there is a report of organizing Estafettes to accelerate the correspondence with Warsaw, during the stay there of the Emperor of Russia. " To-morrow is fixed for the marriage of the ArCluluchess Caroline with the Prince of Saxony, for whom the Archduke Charles will officiate as proxy. The Archduchess is to set out on the Ist or 2d October for Dresden. " There is a report of some slight differences with Russia, but it is a rumour destitute of au thority. " MADRID, SEPT. 24.—The epidemy having reached Port Saint Mary, the communication with that town has been cut off. The Count de Calderon has set out with his Staff to establish his head•quarters at Orcos de 1a Fuentra. The vessels of the squadron have gone into the Bay of Puntales, to obtain shelter against the winds which usually prevail at this season. " The mortality at San Fernando (Isla de Leon) has been as follows : Deaths. Sick. The 12th, - 46 - 1,013 13th, - 30 - 1,108 14th, - 65 - 1,257 AT CADIZ. Deaths. 14th, - - - 34 15th, - • 31 16th, " RASTADT, SEPT. 30.--Sands is now said to be ant of danger, his fate is expected to be soon decided." A Requisition has been addressed to the High Sheriff of Yorkshire, requesting him to call, a► Meeting of the NOBILITY, GENTRY, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of the County of York, for the purpose of inquiring into the transactions at Man chester. The British Press of this day, which does not appear to be infected with the Radical pes tilence that operates so forcibly upon The Morning Chronicle, and still more violently upon The Times, rendered more susceptible of the contagion by inherent and inveterate corruption,—The British Press observing that the Yorkshire Requisition is signed by" NINE NOBLEMEN, and a hundred Com mutters, eminent in rank and wealth," asks "who WILL DARE to say that• a Meeting sanctioned by such names could harbour a thought that savoured of disloyalty ?" We answer, that we hope few Would be base enough to impute disloyalty to men so respectable, but, surely, however upright they may be, they are liable to err in judgment, and to be guilty of indiscretion, and as legal inquiries are now proceeding, and will lead to the most ample investigations of a higher k iud, the Noble and respectable Subscribers of the Yorkshire Requisition must be acknowledged to have acted precipitately in bringing such a Re quisition forward in the present state of the ques tion, The Leeds Intelligencer of Monday last, in noticing that such a Requisition was to be made, expresses itself in the following judicious man ner " That the demand will go as far as a request, and not a whit farther, we are fully convinced. The PRINCE REGENT is possessed of too much firmness to grant the Leaders of the WHIG ARISTOCRACY what be refused to the Corporation of London; his Royal Highness has already expressed his opi nion, that " to institute an extra-judicial, inquiry under such circumstances, would be manifestly inconsistent with the clearest principles of public justice ;" and it is nut likely that an opinion expressed in terms at once so temperate arid decided, will be altered by the demand of the Yorkshire Whigs." And as we entirely concur in the sentiments of that loyal and respectable Journal upon the sub ice, we shall adopt its flintier observations upon she present occasion, in answer to all the Radical Rebels, Oratorical, and Literary, throughout the Country " The -conduct of• the Mancliesteipagliates will coins before the Constitutional Tribunal of their Mitiltry, when the men, whom they have•charged with a Conspiracy to sub• rert the Laws of the Land, are tried by a Jury of their Cosa' trymen. It is not the fault of the Magistrates that this ie quiry has nut already taken place. The postponement is out of their seeking; but is the work of the men, who ass now striving to raise heaven and earth to prejadge the ques• lion ;—and, although we wish as ardently as any one to have a full and fair investigation made into the proceedings of that dab and to have due punishment awarded to which ever patty ii , found guilty - of having ,violated the laws—we must assert, that these public meetings, for the purpose of exciting popular cla mour against Gentlemen placed in a situation most arduous and important: the ex-parse statements, and inflatuniatori speeches, which are made at those Meetings, and which have the effect of perverting the public judgment, and corruptinf the public opiion—are must unwise, must injudicious, and most inconsistent with the high and honourable character of Englishmen." Tna TIMES.—It never was our intention to 'enter into a controversy with The Times. Ws should as soon think of fighting in the street with a Chimney-sweeper, a Scavenger, or one of a more offensive occupation, as we should be sure of re ceiving nothing but dirt and filth in the contest. Our purpose was to detect the artifice and false , hood of The Times, and in that purpose we shall: perievere, despising its scurrility, and abhorring its principles. The truth is, that the Old Times is stung to madness by the success of the Net a • Times, and the best remedy far it would be a strait-waistcoat. Yet we confess, that we arc surprized to find that any of the Log Family had brains to be turned. The ruling Log now a ffects to despise the Gentleman who has transferred his talents and his knowledge to the New Times, and most absurdly says he was discharged because ItS .‘ was perverse and impotent." Yet it is understood that, for some years, Mr. Log paid that Gentleman 15001. a year, " perverse and impotent" as lie,. was. What an incurable blockhead must Mr. Log be for giving such a large annual sum to ness and impotence. The perverseness, however/ was most probably a determined refusal to do 00 , dirty work prescribed by Mr. Log. The Times says' this day, that it is " put upon its metal ;" it h a s al' ways been upon its metal, which is the basest meilit of falsehood, scurrility, and venality. We shall soot ) give damning proof of its brazen, callous (legs' vity. In the mean time we earnestly hope that the example of the Norwich Reading Room wi ll be followed by every other Reading Room, an d every loyal Subject, throughout the Empire, to discarding a Paper, the success of which, unde r the different names which it has assumed since it s origin, is an outrage upon Common Sense, and $ stigma upon the Country, and which, having o e casionally joined and deserted all Parties, accor d ' ingly as its interest was 'affected, has been gen e ' rally detested and despised. A LOYAL FACT.—At a General Meeting of lb . ' Proprietors of the READING ROOMS St DomFRIO' held on the 6th inst. it was ordered that the ---"*" Evening Paper should be put out of the flool on account of the part which the Editor "A taken in the proceedings at Manchester, _° ° a 'fue Sut; be the substitute.—lt was also ()Mer e , that The New Times should he substituted for t. Old Times. Mr. Log has, therefore, a new okL e ", for his venom on Monday next, in the loyal 0 - rough of Dumfries. RicinamaD, SURREY.—There is a long acco4 ti a t in The Morning Chronicle this day, taken troll ea Evening Paper of last night, of a Meeting held h s t i this place on Thursday. But considering 1 principles of 'the Paper in which it first a ppeare l y e and of that which adopted it, we cannot have t o least reliance on its impartiality, and theref a iii prefer one taken from a Morning Paper of day. 111 The King of PRUSSIA has written the follow' „ Letter of Condolence to the Widow of the ve t ran BLUCHER " I received, with great sorrow, the news of the deat h 411 " gren.. your husband, Prince Blucher, of Waldstatt. I nnwill in P, renew your grief, by the mention of the.great loss whir.? .0 have sustained ; but I am unable to suppress the e xpress 14 1:0 my most cordial participation in it. The country IDt i t 4iii with us over the loss of its greatest Commander. gratefully bold him in eternal remembrance. To offe r , the consolation, the want of which I myself feel, I can o' wish that time may alleviate your sprruw, and add the ance of my unalterable regard.

LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING P...-WERS OF 'll-lIS DAY. [Mornin g Chronicle.] Letters front Madrid mention, that the Hornet had art ivertta - Cailiz, with the expected dispatches from the :American Government ; but of their contents nothing had tranttpiretl. It appears that Conntl4-ja, the present Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Expedition, had quarrelled with the Cadiz Authorities, who lay to his charge the spreading of the contagion. This and so many other• causes, it was supposed, would put an end to the sailing of the Armada, at least i❑ any great force. • [New Ti ntes ] The Committee of Five Hundred seem to be al limit as much at a loss, in their proceedings for a Radical Reform in the State, as the Committee at the Horn were in their proceedings for a Radical Retorm in the City. We yesterday no ticed a hand-bill which had been issued by the renowned Mr. Arthur Thistlewood, calling a Meetiug in' Smithfield for the 20th inst. This sage politician and his worthy associates, it seems, have changed their plan, and now pro •pose to meet on Monday the Ist of November, in Fiushury Market-place. Another hand-bill to that effect was circulated yesterday. We cannot but consider that the Shopkeepers and other Tradesmen, whose pursuits are so grievously im peded by these Meetings, ought to appeal to the Map,isiracy to take sonic measures for the preven 0011,0i so intolerable a nuisance. • [The Times j MANCHESTISR, OCT. 7.—We have heard, that about one o'clock yesterday morning the inhabi tants of Oldham were disturbed by seeing lights in the church-yard. A crowd assembled to lear❑ the cause of it, when they found the sexton pre paring to open the grave of John Lees. After he had come to the coffin, the Coroner was sent for. On his at rival, tlie sexton knocked off the top of the coffin with his spade,, and lifted it up, so that the Coroner could see the breast of the deceased. —The stench arising from this exposure was so great, tliat,the Coroner immediately ordered the coffin to be closed. The people lingered about the church-yard for a considerable time after wards; but we have not beat ! that any riot ensued. COURSE, OF EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, OCT. 8. A mstet darn Ditto, at.
