FOR THE SUN. TO THE TWO HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN-10 your discharge of the high duties which you are so speedily to resume, the Empire expccts to find itself protect ed from the machinations of disaffected men. These have acquired a shape sufficiently danger ous to demand your interposition ; but which would be more dangerous if it were less tangible. Since the enemies of our State have stirred at all, it is well perhaps that they have gone so far. Treason is more to be dreaded in its ambush, than in its open array ;—we are the captives of the tosser, before we know our peril; we see the latter, and resistance is victory. The Constitution requires her safety at your bands. For that paramount object, all laws which you enact are constitutional. Earnestly therefore, and respectfully, I submit certain mea sures, to be by you propounded to the Sovereign, and by him, / hope, passed into laws. These may seem severe, but no peaceable man will dread their severity; they will be the confidence of the loyal, because they will be the terror of the dis affected. In exact proportion as the Radicals will exclaim against them, so will the King's faithful suhiects rejoice in their protection. Instead of positively suspending the Habeas Corpits Act, let the power of its suspension rest in any five Members of the Privy Council sum rmeaed by the REGENT, until one month after the meeting of the next Session of in cases of Treason and Sedition cult', arid upc,n in formation given before them on oath. Magistrates ut the Quarter Sessions, or at any meeting where tinee of the Quorum shall at tend, may call ou any person to give up his arms ; and whoever refuses to give theta up, or sball be found to lave kept back or subsequently obtained any antis, shall be sentenced, upon summary coo vicrion, to a ccrt,iin imprisonment. The said Magistrates should have power to search for arms in any suspected Louse or other palace, and carry the sante away. Ali arms given up, should be restored at a pro per season ; but all which are seined should be forfeited and tent into the King's stores. A Re- ward to be paid to all persons giving information. The seller of any alleged seditious or blasphe mous libel, against which a bill Las been found by a Grand Jury, or infoctnation Uled by the At torney-general, before the same shall hate been stied, ebould, upon summary conviction before a Dioghtrate, be sentenced to a certain in -Triton- Went, and ell the copies found in his possession should he forfeited. The teller of such libel, 'after a conviction bad thereon by the verdict of a ?cat 7ury, tbouid be raresporte4/. AN persons assernh,ling rage than twenty in windier, for the purpose or pretence of pe:ition ing the Regent or either House of Parliament for the alteration or enactment of laws, or for the al leged redress of grievances, should be guilty of ifigh Tre4ls-oil, uoLss such meeting shall be pre viously sanctioned by the written autbotity of at least five Magistrates of the County or City in which the said Meeting is held, and of the Quo rum : and unless, itt default of such authority, the said tneeting shelf not disperse tvithio five minutes atter any one Magistrate shall have reader caused to be read the Riot Act. No MOM witnesses eilOtetd be required in eases of treason thau iu arty other cavital charge. With these enactments, the zfety of the Coun try will be zecurerl. Without these ertactments, shoiild be very sort; to be answerable for its se cud y. You, my Lords and Gentlemen, will do your duty; unheedin;- the clamorous terror of had :nen, who read it: ctiery severe inw the preventiou of their awn Outs, and the punishment of their oitn ti'eBBl2//11. TEN.A.X. PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. [From the. Leeds Isulependint.) For the prominent part take++ by Earl FlTZ wtta-sAm, in the late County Meeting, Govern ment have dismissed him from the situation which he occupied as Lord Lieutenant of the %Vest Rid ing. lirleed, it was not likely that any cotdial co-operation could be cupected between his Lord iki3d his :Nlajesty's Ministers, when he was found An so conspicuous a station amongst the opponents of the latter ; neither could any confi deuce be reposed in bins as to the faithful dis cliarge of the important office with which he bad been entrusted ; when, regardless of the high re sponsibility attached to his situation, he could be guilty of such a dereliction of duty as to bestow the sanction of his name and authority to pro ceedings avowedly at variance with the Govern munt by which he bad been appointed, and which it was his bounden obligation to sup port. Of his Lordship it may too truly be How are the ;nighty fallen ?"—for it will he well rementberesi that, in an event ful period, when the tranquillity and safety of the country were in the utmost danger irons the contaminating influence tJ the most We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. The following are extracts : " Nuts, OCT. 30.—The King did not go out yesterday; his Majesty transacted business in his Cabinet. The King has experienced a slight in disposition, but his Majesty was better yesterday. The Duke of Orleans had an audience of his Ma jesty for half an hour yesterday. " The relations between the Spanish Cabinet and the British Court become snore and more intimate. A Courier front Madrid passed through Bordeaux cia the 26th instant, on his way to London. " According to the last accounts from Spain, the Queen was expected at Madrid the 21st inst.

(From the Boston Paper of the 291 h Sept.) HEALTH OF THB TOATNI.—It gives us much pleasure to be able to lay before our Readers the following official document : " Health Office, Sept. 97. " The Board of Health of the TOWN of Boston have now the pleasure to publish, that the Town of Boston is at this time wholly free from any contagious or malignant disease ; and the Secre tary of this Board is directed to cause the same to be published in the Newspapers. " JAMES ROBINSON, Sec." There does not appear to be any abatement of the fever at Baltimore ; during the 48 hours, end ing Friday last, 21 new cases had been reported. In New York, at the last dates, only one new case had occurred. We do not believe the report now going round, that the nesident has ordered the United States troops at Nanchiloches to march to the Sabine to prevent auxiliaries and supplies going to the Independents of Texas, because it is the custom and kw of this land for the Civil Authority first to interfere to prevent violations of the laws ; and we have not heard that the Civil Power has been resisted, or refused to act once on any occa sion requiring the interference of the Military Authority. Private letters, received in town this morning from New York, of the 27th September, state, that the fever was raging there with such violence, that it caused nearly hale the inhabitants to leave the City.—Letters also from New Orleans and Philadelphia mention the same account as above. The Morning Chronicle has a long leading ar ticle, furnished by his friend Dr. O'MEARA, re specting Mr. STOKOE, the Naval Surgeon, who, like the former Worthy, found that innocent and unoffending Sufferer, NAPOLEON BUONAPARYE, labouring under an incipient hepatitis of three years standing. This long " Narrative" finishes by an observation, that it " requires no com ment,"—none but one, certainly, and that a very short one—it is false front the beginning to the end. There never we; a more contemptible degrada tion of the Public Press than what appears in The Morning Chronicle of this day, and we shall copy the article referred to, that we may the more completely hold up that Paper to the scorn and in dignation of the People at large. After stating, with callous impudence and falsehood, that " it was part of Mr. PITT'S system to degrade the ancient Nobility," The Morning Chronicle at tempts to degrade the Nobility of a later date in the following article . PRESENT CABINET. Earl of HAnnowar, —Ancestor, a Draper in the Cloisters, Smithfield, created a Peer in 1700. Earl of LivearooL—His father the first Peer created in 1786. Lord ELDON—Created a Peer in 179 D; his father a fitter at Newcastle. Viscount CASTLEACAGU—His father the first Peer created ili 178:). Duke of WELLINGTON'...-liiS father the first Peer created iu 174 G. Mr. CANNING (has no Peer)—ilis father a Tradesman. Lord St/amount—Created a. Peer iu ISW 3 fat her a Doctor at Reading. Lord NicLrtr.tE—liis fattier the first Peer created in 1802. Duke of DEnientlD—Created a Peer in 1358. Earl of FrrzwlLLlAlki—Do. do. 1620, the e2d in pa ternal descent Goa/ Sir Wm. Fitzgudirick, who was cousin to King Edward the Confessor.' To the rapid rise of families by the exertion of superior talents and honest service, no one objects—on the contrary, it is the glory of our 6 yvtrin; but it surely should be the duty of men in rank and high situation to preserve the Jeipect which is due to a ncient Nubility. The mean qualifying note at the end of this 'nvitlioutt and most despicable attempt to lessen the character of Persons who owe their elevation to the services of their immerliate Pro genitors, or to their own merits, is, no doubt, in tended as some palliation. It is observable that in this venomou ecord, no fault is imputed to any of the Persons, nor is there any notice of the causes of their elevation. All that has been said against Lord i - lattaowav is, that his ancestor was a Draper, of Lord ELDON , that his father was a Fit ter, of Mr. CANNING, that his father was a Trader. Strange 'charges from a Radical Print which is constantly advocating measures tending- to elevate the Rabbi!. The chief imputation against the other noble Per• sons is, that their respective f a th ers were the firtt • Peers in the family. No notice of that personal tit' tachment to his MAJIISTY, that profound knowle4 of business, and long publi c servi ce s ‘vhich rai se the late Lord Li vEnPoor, into well-meri(ed dt 4 tinction. No notice of those einineot ti.ileor, 864 deep legal knowledge, which raised Lord ELO OtJ: through all the proper gradations to the highest pr. ° . felsional honour. Nut even a word in favour the Duke of WELLINGTori, who obtained his title as the Deliverer of Europe. Tile great 684 ; 4 against ,14-,rd SIDMoUTII is, that his father wig a Doctor, the Member of a Profession of the 11 0°31 importance to mankind, and who was the lad : mate friend of the gre a t Earl of Cua-zaAkt. L ord SIDMOUTII himself haying b een universolli allowed to have been one of the most eininc° Members of the House of Commons who ' id. graced the Speaker's Chair, a Nobleman tinguished fur private virtue and indefatiga ble zeal in the discharge of public duty. The 011 Persons in this most despicable attempt to ` l4 ' . grade distinguished characters, exempted if ° the reproach of having had ancestors who sr ° !: by honest industry, and, most probably, person' worth, are the Duke of BEDFORD and Earl WILLIAM. As we do not wish to follow 411°. odious example of The Morning Chronicle, ' cc shall only refer to Mr. BURKS'S Inenlbrab ig Letter to the late Duke of BEDFORD, for tris origin of bis Grace's family wealth and hottou' s; and as to Earl FITZWILLIAM, we shall dismiss b ig ! Lordship with the following passages from dic satirical Poet : 4 , Some stand for fame on their forefathers feet, By heraldry/ proed vaiiant or discreet"— " If virtues at their noble hands you crave, " You hill them raise their fath ers f rom th e grave '" " Titles arc marks of honest tun, and wise, " The Fool or Kmtve who wears a title hes"-- " They who on glorious Ancestors enlarge, „ " Produce their debt, instead of their ctscharge• A more despicable Meeting than that which t°fl . place yesterday in Fin s b ur y M ar k et Pl ace , Del l " insulted the Government of a Country ; but tir i l picahle as it was, and must appear in the eye all rational and well-disposed People, such Me t ' ings should not be suffered to disturb the Pu bll.l Peace. To the credit of all the decent inhilbi# tants of the neighbourhood, they united in trea o4 the miserable Radicals and their infamous Lettd es with the contempt and ridicule which they desc ry ' ed. Many of the tradesmen in most of the avenue s leading to the scene of action, were obliged f° shut up their shops, and consequently their mew l for supporting themselves and their families vfc ld suspended. Should this perpetual disturbance public peace and obstruction of honest indost i l be tolerated ? Should such a fellow as Ttsts-ro' WOOD, who attempted to escape from the Purs uit of law, and was taken on board of a vessel on the eveof departing for America—should such a wretc h ' ed fanatic, or rather trader in Radicalism, as Si r t' l ' sox, who, while in the Tower, offered to sell hip' self to Government if it would enable him t ° set up a Shop, or to transport himself and his wily to the same country in order to join his s ° °l wlso,if he:had been taken int o custo dy h ere , sfO ul4 most probably have been hanged—should o' 4l fellows be permitted to collect an immense mu lti ' . tilde when they please, in order to seduce 6EO I I inflammatory h a r a n gues , an d b e su ff ere d to proce ed in this mischievous course, till the lower tir elli of the People, thro ug h ou t th e C ountry , are f il'e f or rebellion, and m a y b r in g on its all the horrors o f a Gallic Revolution ? Nu—if the Law is not c 3 ciliated to meet the evil at present, let the fieg i ; lature, in its wisdom, enact new me a s u res for I security of the Constitution, which even its orP °' nents allow to be the best system that human sags, city ever devised for the freedom of a People 3 the protection of a State. As to the wretched rP ct ie ar WATSON, we repeat, and s h a ll oft en re peat, "' lll he obtrudes him se lf u p on p u bli c not i ce , do t ijs offered to abandon politics for ever if GO l . erfv. went would buy his silence. We have itieltsilat able authority for this fact, which we are pa; misted to disclose ; and after thi s d am ning p f°' of his mean, sordid, unpri nc ipl e d oar to sea o 0 i patriotism, it requires the utmo s t ex t e nt of rad i x. impudence for such a man to sites his ho t , front again in public, and p re t en d t o public l' irfw. and a disinterested zeal for the welfare °I tb4 People ! er Advises from Madeira to the 23d of SeP eel- d b ec state, that the Squadron re cen tly fitted oat onre the command of Sir 'foamAs LlAttpy arrived 014 on the Nth September, in eight days tr" l ", il i l e mouth.

And why does he now desert the latter to strengthen the helots of its bitterest opponents and revilers. That the dismissal of Earl Fitz william will be considered by many as a strong measure we entertain no doubt ; but by all who rightly appreciate the value of those institutions, which have so long distinguished this country be yond all others, and who regard with meri:ed ab horrence the insidious efforts now exerted to overthrow them, this event will he viewed as one of the most imperious necessity. For it can not be denied, that the eff:ct of his Lordship's giving countenance to the Meeting, the Reso lutions of which eonveyud a strong censure against the Government tinder which he held hit office, most inevitably have been to en courage a perseverance iu those very proceed ings, which his official station should have led him to suppress by every means int his power. in fact, (tinier all the circumstances of the case, Mi nisters could not have acted otherwise ; and more over, all those members of the opposition, who have recorded their disapprobation of meetings like the one which his Lordship patronized, have thus virtually pronounced their coincidence with his Majesty's Mitlissters in the course which they have taken. The subject may, perhaps, be illus trated by the tollowiug comparison: Suppose any of those that censure this measure to be engaged in extensive mercantile concerns, requiring a mill tiplicity of workmen in various branches of ma nufacture, what course would the principals pur sue, if their superintendent, possessing their con fidence, and ittvested with extensive authority, should betray the interests ot his employers by taking part with the men, when they chose to neglect their word;, or to strike for an advance of wages, instead of remonstrating with them; and exerting his authority and influence to bring them back to their duty ? The principals would surely think themselves frillyjustified in discharging him, and especially so, it he was known to have fo mented the discontent ot the men by reflections upon his masters; who would he looked upon by all their neighbours as chargeable with the grossest tolly, if they still retanied him in their service after such conduct.
