TO THE PUBLIC. As THB SUN IlaS now maintained its neatly course for upwards of a quarter of a Century, and ltas ueiformly supported those principles on which it was orOnally founded, under the immediate auspices of that illustrious Statesman, WILLIAM VITT, the Proprietor is exempted from the nt cessi,y of offering .(riy profession of his principles. They are founded upon the system established by that wise and virtuous Minister, and have been so ac rennously adopted and supported by the pre sent Administration, that thy glorious result has been the security of the British Empire, and the deliverance of 'Europe.—As long as THe so,, belongs to the present Proprietor, it will be animated by the same piinciples,, and, firmly !dy ing oil the sagacity of the pt esent Administra tion, he will. give them his zcalotes support in all measures that are intended fur. the Wriest and honour of the Country. Thev have eficeted an honourable Pe.ice, which has procured the tran quillity of Europe ; and they are nowendeavour ingwith equal zeal to relieve the people from the prebsure of those difficulties•which a long , and expensive War unavoidably produced. We hearti ly wish them success, and shall be proud: and happy in being in any resisect instrumental to the attainment of so desirable an object.—To re turn to our own determined condm.t. We shall resokte ly support the ORTHODOX. CHURCH, and resist to (lie numb-4 the claims of POPERY to any r-irt icipat ion of Political Power, convinced that in the free exercise of their religious faith, they posess all the power that can be extended to diem with , security to the Protest ant Establishment. We shall open our columns to the discussion of those mea sures which may tend to secure THE LAW to its re gular Pt actitionerS, and to exclude all discreditable Intruders from a Profession on which the interest and happiness of the People essentially depend.— THE SUN has, therefore, a right to expect the sup- port and encouragement (-Attie GoVERNMENT, THE Law, and of every PITT CLUB flit oughont the United Kingdom, for of he: wise, the tcr will have no just pretensions to the title which they assume, as the Paper may, in effect, consider the Illustri ous IVILLIAM PITT as its YOUNDER. At 10 An- VERTIZEItS in general, the interests at COMMERCE are so interwoven with the prosperity of the trail ing world, that however prosperous THE SUN may become, we shall make it a printipal rule is the conduct of the Paper to DISPLAV all AD. XERTISEMENTS, to use the technical term, that they may appear to the best advantage, and there by the more effectually attract the attention of the Public, and promote the interest of the Ad vertiser. We have found that the Extracts, from PROVIN CIAL JOURNALS have been so gratifying to Town Readers, and those from the JOURNALS of the Me- Taorocts so acceptable to our Country Friends, that we shall make those departments permanent fea tures in our Paper, conceiving, that in giving a collective view of the general feelings, senti ments, and opinions of the respectiie Journals, which may be reasonably supposed to express those of their Readers and Supporters, we may really he-deemed " The Abstract and brief Chro nicle of the Times." We now heartily congratulate the Country on the opening a New Year, which, we sincerely hope, will equally abound in domestic blessings, anti all the strength and glory of National Cita. rilcrer.—Before we conclude, we may fairly ven ture to boast of the number and the value of our Correspondents, who, in point. of knowledge and ability, are, perhaps, hardly to be rivalled in any other Journal. LONDON JOURNAL& FROM THE MORNING PAPERS` OF THIS DAT. [Morning Chronicle.] Many of the Papers will still have it that Lord Cochrane is arrived at Venezuela. Nothing can he more ridiculous. Though the name of the Officer who has arrived in that quarter begins with a C, be is not Lord Cochran.; however, it is expected he will give the Spaniards as much to do in Venez►►ela as his Lordship soon will on the coasts of Peru. [The Times.] PARIS. Dec. 28 --Nothing certain is yet known of the composition of ti►e new Ministry. All that we know is, that it will not remain as it is at, pre sent. Since M. de Cazcs has found that the Duke of Richelieu has not succeeded in forming a Ministry, he has made. efforts, seconded by friends, to retain his influence. The fear of hay ing an Ultra-Royalist Ministry increases the nnnt• ber of his supporters, both in the Chamber of De• puties and among the public. Every thing favours the supposition that be will finally carry the day, and that M. Laint, and perhaps likewise the Duke of Richelieu, will be forced to retire, al t norigh M. "de Cazes appears desirous of showing the latter great ettentinti. Late events have given great distress of mind to the Duke of Riche lieu, awl cotriributeil:to increase the sotlaen ill ness with which be has been seized. The eit10237 pronnenceo try , lllT .

The cpast twin Buenos Ayres to Pernambuco; Rio, and Bahia, swarmed with privateers, who paid little or no respect to any flog. Several American citizens. at Pernam buco had received the greatest insulti, and have been designated by degrading epithets from those pirates.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, which were due this morning, have not arriverl. The Letter from our Correspondent at Paris, inserted this clay, though not of a later date than information since received, appears to develope the mystery of the sudden overthrow of the French Ministry, viz. differences among themselves, aid ed and fomented, no doubt, by their ambitious rivals, who were panting for power, and, of course, practised every insidious artifice in order to accomplish their purpose. But it is in vain to reason or speculate at present on affairs, which, as our Correspondent stares, are so fleeting, so va riable, and uncertain, that what seems to be stable one day, is totally overturned the day atter. We must, therefore, icier to the Letter of our Correspondent, who being on the spot, possessing opportunities for authentic information, and dis posed to give 1t with fidelity, deserves •ttpe confi dence of our:Readers . , much more than an' thing which the French Journals may be pfrmitted to communicate.. The ships Buckinghamshire and Earl of Bal carras sailed from Bombay the 21st June, and arrived at Prince of Wales's Island the 13th July; they were to proceed on their voyage to China via Malacca on the 18th of July.

PARIS, Dec. 28.--The profoundest Politician, the person best acquainted with the secrets of the Ministry, nay the Ministera themselves, could not have predicted last Monday what would be the events of the week. The Ministers have come to an open rupture ; after smothering their differ ence of sentiment so long, mutual accusations seent to have been the result. Were It possible to credit the floating reports, or extract from their mass any connected detail of the facts, I would willingly give it ; but even LA PLACE, with his theory of probabilities, and his maxima and minima, would here be at a loss, and own, for once, his science at fault. Remour states, that the Duke tie RICHELIEU returned from Aix la-Chapelle imbued with different sentiments - of the system previously maintained by the Ministry, and that a Great Northern Power insisted on and that this was resisted .by M. de Gazes, who was accused of having inserted in the English Papers libels against the Duke de Ricu eLIauJ, which was.. denied by M. de C. ; and this, say they, was the cause - of a quarrel between them, and that M. Mots, The Miaisttr of Marine, in stantly took adviintage of it, and wished to send off M. de CAZES to Siberia, bag and baggage, in ihree days. This is too ridiculous to he true... The Minister of Marine is always chosen for 'his in significance, as a Mall whom it is wished . to do something for, but in whom nothing important can be Confided ; and M. de Cazes, if true, must have laughed heartily at the Frog who would be an Ox. The Duke de Rico ELIEU was. then said to be labouring with the Alibi MosiTzscanote to form a Ministry without M. tie CAZE3. TALLIIY-: RAND also, we learn, received proposals, but he would not come in Without several of his friends, and the Matter terminated by all the Ministers sending in their, resignation ; some because they were resolved to go out—others that they might be 1.-chosen. Of the former class is, we believe, M. de CAZES. lie is of opinion that France cannot be saved from a Revolution, except by the system he adopted, and he is resolved to sink or swim with his. system; and being more attached to it than to the rank of Minister, he resigns the office rather than abandon his principles. This is at least the conduct of an honest man--Whe thee his ideas are right or wrong time will skew. His burthen as Minister was a painful one, for he was incessantly attacked by all parties ; but he kept the even. tenor of his way, disdaining to answer any. It has always been supposed that his Majesty entertains a warm - personal attachment for M. de CAZES, and wishes to.retain him, but that he declines every offer, even of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which, report says, the Duke de RICHELIEU would willingly cede to him, to prove his esteem and his disbelief of the rumours;invented by crafty knaves to make them quarrel, but he is resolved to retire. The King has not yet accepted the resignation of any of them, as the Session has commenced. Several laws are on the eve of expiring ; there is no money in the Treasury; the Budget is not prepared ; no ac counts are made up ; in fact all is in as chaotic a state as it is possible, and it is necessary to have something cleared and in regular order, before they go out ;' they have consequently agreed to go on a little while, as they arc to prepare tor their successors. I say such is the agreement of to day, but I do not answer for a, new arrangement not taking place before this letter gets half way . to Calais, for the political weathercock veers,. in 24 hours, to every point of the compass. His Majesty is very unwell on account of these intrigues—be is tormented on all hands—all - in sist on his banishing M. de CAZES. It is like the , Sheep agreeing to banish the Dogs that pro tected them froth the Wolves. One thing in all this imbroglio, therefore, is certain, via - . that whoever stays its M. de CAZES pea out. The mail from Rio de Janeiro brings letters from thence to the Ist November, and (ron► Buenos Ayres, to the sth October. The, latter are silent as to disturbances which the reports through North America had taught us to believe had broken out tl►ere ; it was, however, thought by some persons, that the Congress would name another Supreme Director in lieu of Mr. PO EY A REDOM. A letter from Rio de Janeiro contains the fol lowing, respecting the state offiffairs in the Banda Oriental Monte Video has very little inter course with the country ; it is true that our troops have obtained very considerable advan tages over the country people, wbo, without be ing properly armed and disciplined, wire opposed to them by ARTIGAS ; but it cannot be denied, that we have not followed up these advantages, anti therefore they have been useless ; the conse quence is, that our troops possess the territory only on which they stand. If, however, as we are told, more active,operatinns are to he carried on in the approaching spring, there is no doubt that the province can be reduced to a state of tranquillity within three or four months." The health of Lord GRENVILLR has lately been in a precar'ous state. We are happy to fiud, upon inquiry, that he is recovering. Mil' NEWS.
