►s ~ FOR THE SUN. THE TtEGvNT AND WO; CAIXNINIATORS. Among the miscreants who labour the radical to ersion of all Jaw, human and divine, there are Leaders of intellect sufficient to discover the readiest means of that sobversioss, and to set their agents upon its most effectual operation. CAC /ALE waa to overturn the Altar by denying the Deity ; and I-lONIS is lo destroy the Crovn by slAndeting the Sovereign. 1 am not entirely of Ciceao's opinion, that offences against Heaves) should be remitted to Heave n's displeasure, with- out man's interposition. And this for two rea sons, because the Divine Power, having once given to the world its ordinances, and e►tioined their observance, priced upon the world the duty of their enforcement by visible laws ; and because it is impossible to offend [leaven, viithout at the same time off - ending by that loosening im piety which wool'', destroy his laws in destroying their Divine origin. Justice, however, hkis in ionic degree vindicat- eel our national character, by the limitary punish ment which she has bacted on one CAULILH, encouraged by the escape of his pre deces,or in the radical vineyard, presnmcd to deny THE DirtNITY CIIIIIST ; not only to deny, but to insult it ; not only to insult, but to cover it with his infernal fill'. `rely grievously this wretch has complaiited that the other wretch was acquitted, and rewarded by a pupils SO) - scription, and set up in a flourishing shop for the vent of his nti,chief ; while Itimselt has been con victed and punished by a public sentence, and deprived of his shop and his merchandize to gether. The speculatiom of llotse and CAROLE was evidently the same; the difference lay in the success, not in the attempt ; in the consequence, not in the motive,. Caat.lLE himself has let out this acknowledgment. But my present business is not with the punished blasphemer ; I have now to notice the unpunish ed slanderer. Let me not be supposed to enter the lists of controversy with Wit.ctAza Boss. Neither my band nor my cause shall be sullied by an anta gonist, with whom contest is reprodeb, and over whom triumph were infamy. Still more averse am 1 from vindicating the character of OUR Re. GZNT against an accuser, so base, so bad, and so brutal.—Leaving Ilosig, therefore, and his " House that Jack Built," to the Attorney. G eneral--whose DUTY imperatively calls on his offi cial interposition—l shall retrace, as succinctly us possible, the conduct of the PRINCE since l►is Administration of the Sovereign Power.—lf the character of this illustrious man has been vilified, and his actions misrepresented, for the base dc sign of discrediting, in his person, the royal func tion, the poison will meet its best antidote in the fair portraiture of that character, aid the nue statement of those actions. Virtue is hateful before vicious eyes. Every good deed, every honourable feeling sharpen the resentment in proportion► to their heightening the reproach, which by their contrast is sure to fill on the vile and the dishonest. For the same reason that CAILLILE blaSphCrilel, tic slanders. DlOice and cupidity conspire to excite their spleen ; and their white-hatted leader }idiocies on his ho►►nds, while they hunt in couples. These wretches are offended—that THE REGENT should have manifested his filial piety :—that he should have paid to his venerable Father, not only personal but political obedience ; that he should have cherished, and watched, and tended the old man through the heavy visitation of bo dily and mental weakness : that he should have consulted I►is fathers principles, and respected his feelings : that his father's oath should have de scended upon his conscience : that he should have thrown around himself the new glory of a So vereign Son's duty to a Parent, aged, infirm, dis abled by the afflicting hand of [leaven. Is ex asperated their malice, that Ile should have been thus submissive, when his father was alike inca pable of praising the duty which he paid, and of blaming the disobedience which the good heart of our Prince refused and abhorred. Oh, it would have been a precious theme for these scoundrels' eulogies—had THE ItrGENT hurried his father into lone and powerless obscu rity !—had he made profit of his afflictions ! had he teartd his own absolute rule upon the broken mind of the old King ! had he flashed his own regal splendour upon his darkened sight ! had he onverted the chamber of aged weakness into ITS LIVING GRAVE !—Oh, how they would then hare fa wth,d, and crouched, and yelped before him ! Bow tkey would have licked the dust before such n unfilled Throne ! But the Regei T A—our Regent—disdaiaea the allurements I%hich were so _anxiously spread out tor his acceptance. Melt the temporary restric. tian cif I,:s atlAiotity had ps.pired, instantly Attu . ; magnanimously he cod:ruled iii their offices his father's faithful servants. Magnanimously—l say---- because these were the very Ministers who had re commended and placed that restriction upon Mat sRLF ; and because he saw in the only pledge which they offered of their fidelity to the Son, the strongest of all assurances—their fidelity to the Fattier. How different were the rejected propo sitions of his own personal friends, the confident and triumphant anticipators of place and power— there needs no recital. Unpardonable offence ! Multiplied cause of mortification ! The wisdom of our Regent, as well as his duty, were proved in the issue. The dis appoiuted expectant s beheld victory crowding upon victory, and all created by the trICAS:ITCS which they rt,isted and the 'Ministers whom they envied. Tbose of them, who could survive the disappoiututent, saw foreign rebellion put down, as th e y will nine' see domestic rebellion extiu guishrd ;—tiot ()illy without their aid, but agiinsi their desire. And, through all this vexa!ion of ungratified i“,pce dud refuted prognostics, the Regent held on his steady course; until the more decent of his enemies became ashamed of expresSing their ran cour, and the reckless togues who had no cha racter to lose became more virulent in their's. As a Son, 1 have all eady pourtraitured his con duct to an helpless Father :—needs Oleic to repeat his tender and unceasing affec:ion to his excellent Mother ? Well, do 1 know the stale and vulgar calumny which spared rot a Queen, venerable for her virtues, even more than for her years ;—well do I know, and thoroughly do 1 contemn it ;—yLt cannot 1 forbear to pause upon her 1011111 for one sincere eulogy—that religious faith and moral purity found in Hea t not only their most powerful en forcer, hut their most strict observer; and, that she gave to England, not only their most illns trious but their most perfect example. Not all the malicious industry, that gathers in much busy gossip, and gabbles it out again, man gling the parts and exaggerating the whole, can throw sc►lullal upon the Rti OE NT. It is reduced to the hopeless necessity of catching at his best feelings and turning them into his reproach. His high sense of honour, his delicate vigilance of twor's most irmpor•tant possession, have become a crime with these slanderers, almost equal to his vindication of the Empire's glory. As little c,n they forgiv, his kind protecting condescension to all who have the happiness of living under Lis immediate service ; his general h►rmanity, his ten derness, his benevolence. They cannot with any patience contern n a Sovereign Prince standing by the death-bed -of his aged Tutor, over whom the shadow of the grave was fast extending ; and offering the last reward of his consolation ro the ears that can no longer listen and to the lips that could no longer instruct. No, while eternally repeating the common-place sophism. that a Prince is tint a Mao—they allow no merit to a Prince for a Man's best feelinl2s. Neither can the REGENT'S affectionate and kindly delicate conduct toward his Daughter, iu some, perhaps the most trying sitnations; nor his paternal sorrow ; nor his invariable kindness and sympathy towards her exemplary husband—none of these gr'aces can reconcile his slanderers to the virtue which they detest in proportion to its emi nence; and which they look up to but as Satan looked to the Sun, to proclaim bow inveterately they " hate its beams." If I have said more of these wretches than their worthlessness, their miserable absence of all va lue, can possibly deserve ; let it be recollected bow faint and how inadequate a testimony I have offered to the character of our illustrious Prioce.. Let no man accuse me of defending him against Holes l- 7 -Let no man charge me with vindicating him against so vile, so vulgar a slanderer. It is not for the Prince's sake I have spoken, but for the Empire's. I have wished to spew, by the insolent falsehoods, the shameless sedition of that acquitted , Libeller, the danger of the License of the Press, and the necessity of its immediate re striction. To punish the published slander, will he well :—to prevent the unpublished slander will be better. When that prevention shall affect the " Liberty of the Freers," let the blame fall where it ought—on the nbose7s of its License.— For my part, !do not think the privilege of print ing a libel is a whit more essential to Constitu tional freedom now, titan the privilege of speak ing one was fifty years ago: —or, that a Licenser of the Press would be more obno:tious than is a Licenser of the Stage.

" MADRID, Noy. 13 —The Count de Colame! ts, Captain-General in the Spainsh (limy, is just dead, aged 95 years and }O months ; he was the oldest General Officer in Europe, it being 84 years and six months since he was appointed a Cadet. lie served under five Kings of Spain, wiz.

As this Country never was in a more alarming state than during the prevalence of the RADICAL MEETINGS, and as the danger is by no means re moved, it may be fairly said that there never was an OPPOSIT/ON less entitled to public respect than that which is now endeavouring to perplex Go vernment, and to thwart its operations. TheOP POSITION indeed may be thought to have identiiied itself with the RADI,CALS, for its efforts tend to give spirit and confidence to the I tt ter. Indeed, the Radicals, on this ground, seem to hare no occa sion for illemberi to repr!.sent unrepresented phees, as too many of our Constitutional Representa lives, judging from their conduct, seent dig posed to render no Reform necessary in that respect. It might be almost inferred from the conduct of OPFOSITTON, that they conceive it to be in vain to attempt to stein the Rievolu tiunary torrent, and that they wisb to secure the favour of tire Radicals, when the day of E'airersfq Sufrage, and consequently Universal Partition of Properly, shall arrive. Is it possible otherwise to conceive any solid reason for the attempts that are made every day, to perpetuate the abuse which has been thrown upon the Manchester Magistrates, after the satisfactory evidence of the Papers submitted to PitlrNAment, which not only justify their conduct, but plain:y prove that it was rentlered absolutely necessary by t!.te illegal Meeting of desperate Ruffians, headed by a Wretch who flies over tits Couwry to excite 'and animate Sedition wherever -.c - goe s ? Bat the Sovereign does not escape from t h e atta clo niiguirled men, whose rank and fortune ought t° render them more guarded, on their own count, as well as for the sake of this Country,' On this ground we refer the Public to the Ad' mirabie Letter of TENAX in our Paper this ( 15 F . We doubt not that the People in genera l will peruse that Letter with pleasure, but it will, we are sure, be highly Fiß tif ''' inn to our Readers, in particular, to fi' d ' that the learned, eloquent, and loyal Wri ter of that Letter will soon have a strum: and Pern l "' TICHT interest in the prosperity of Tit , Sur; ; and we may fairly assert, that no other London Jour nal possesses any Correspondent equal to him i° Constitutional Knowledge, general Information and variety of Talents.
