TO THE I'UiILIC. Mr. 'FAVtOR, 'the I'ItoPRIETOIt of 'THE SUN NEWSPAPIAR, being desirous of lessening the La bour and Sulicitirde attending the Conduct of a Daily Print, is Willing to part with a portion of it so any Gentlemen of,Talents end Resousces, Wiwise Political P l ieeiples Correspoed with those -which the Paper has . always supported, and who . would be inclined to co•opetate in Manage ment as well as Literary Composition. Ile would rather at once dispose of the whole concern, if be slid not venture to conceive that the steadiness of his Political Character has excited the confi dence of his Headers, and that li long experi enee may reasonably be supposed to attach sonic credit to his competency in the cdnduct of a Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these awful and threatening times every Public Man should remain at Isis post, in order to Contribute, to the utmost of his prover, towards the defence of our inestimable Constitution. Several le dividuals have offered to purchase the Paper; lint as it was 'Oolitic': ender the immediate sanc• tion of the late Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems his dirty to consider it as a Political Legacy left by that Illustrious Statesman to his Country, to maintain and perpetuate those Ps ineipli s which ate most conducive to the sectisity of the State and the happiness of the People. Llence the Ad mirers of that enlightened Minister and tree Pa triot may think that a Paper instituted by hint, and for such important objects, should be offered to some public sidrittd Body, act is tied by higher considerations than mete regard to pecuniary Van; ages, and animated by zeal for the general wel fare ; or at least to any other whose interests may be essentially united with the interest of the Conn. y. T,, suet, Persons the Ploptieior Would ino4 dispose of the entire concern ; and, however anxious he ni Ay he for repose, at ter Laney years of toil and solicitude, he would readily act as their Agent so long as his superintendence might be required. It cannot be necessary to dwell on the high reputation which Tue. SUN has so long possessed, in consegeence of the undeviating consistency of its Political Character, and the uniform propriety of its General Conduct. To support a Government acting on the system of Mr. PITT i. the main principle by which die Paper bas been directed, dud only, by a firm ad herence to that system can it maintain its Charac ter. It is obvious,however, that a steady attach ment to a System which comprehends tee safety of the Constitution, by no nieans,implies a ser vile concurrence in the Measures of any Adwinia stratiou. But while Tile Sus perseveres in the same direct course, it n o sy reasonably expect the sopport of the present Government on account of its Political Principles, and the reverence clue to the memory of its Illustrious Founder , since an indifference - to the fate of such a Paper. on the part of a ?ITT ADMINISTRATION, would be a sole cism. as well as a reproach, which it it not likely to incur. With not less confidence may tare Paper rely on the Protection of the Pao- TSSTAIe7 CHURCH. as it has so strenuously stip• ported it that it is supposed to be peculiarly patronized by THE CLERGY ; among whom it certainly can boast of many valuable Cos respondents. Indeed, as TUB CLERGY must he well qualifie', by abilities and knowledge, to in• struct the Community at large, arid,' in these times, •should consider that they have duties to fulfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they might very pr- perly possess themselves of a Paper which would not only enable them to spread right principles in general, but also to check those licentious and impious doctrines which are daringly inculcated with malignant assiduity, and are manifestly intended to destroy the Religion anti the GOVertlntent of the Coun try. The Proprietor may confidently expect the Support of the PITT CLUBs throughout the British Empire, considering to whom THE SUN owes its origin, and from whom they derive their appella tion. ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS of a BIRTH-DAY are of little use, and must fall into languor anti decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse and support. the Pt inciples upon which those Associations ate professedly established., THE Sox may also ixpect the Support of the REGULAR SOLICITORS throughout the Kingdom, as that Paper, and that atone, has zealously endeavoured to maintain the honour of the Legal Profession, by exempting it 'from all irregular Practitioneis alnd discreditable Intruders. Finally, THE Z.'iUN may look to the Peorse AT eetttla for Patronage tied Encouragement oct account of the steadiness of its Principles; its Pehl:c Spirit, and its reso lute Lodeavours, oo all occasions, to promote the Iclonour and Interest of . the Country. Suds, then, is , the 01)1)00'10r y which the Proprietor note offers to his Countrymen ; and as it presents A TasT TO PUBLIC Vt RTUB,• and to CittNUINE PA- Ttuterisst,, he should insult the National Cha racter if lie were Out to suppose that among the admirers of .Mr. PITT, and Friends of THIS CON STITUTION, Many wise, independent, disinterested, magnanimous BarroNs will be found ready, at this awful crisis, to 'suite in purchasing and up holding a Paper which so obviously , possesses pe culiar and promioent Claims to National Pro tection.—None but Principals tired apply in Person, or by Letter, (post-paid) addressed to the PROPRIEToit'at Tnit SON-OFFICE, 112, Strand. The following " Warning to Publicans" was given to each of them the last Licensing Day at Du►iley :—" The , Magistrates . acting for the parish of Dudley, understanding that at some of the Public-houses in the said parish, seditious Papers are taken in, for the purpose of poisoning the t minds of the ignorant and unwary, are deter mined, if such Papers be not discontinued in future, that the licences shall be suspended. Pub licans will tro well to remember, that according to an Act of Parliament, passed in the 57th year of the reign of his present Majesty, this may he done at any time, where information, upon owl'', bas been received, of any seditious or blasphe mous paper or publication being taken in, to be read either privately or• publicly, in such houses. Every publican, therefore, is in error who sup poses, that having obtained a license, he is secure till its yearly expiratiou.". 'FOR TnE SUN.. VIE CONSTITUTION. LETTER VII. Mr. EntToit—Yon will have perceived from some of my former Letters, that I am far from being persuaded that any Reform whatever is re quired itt the House of Commons. The only reason why, when the times •should permit, I would advocate any change, arises from the powerful and widely extended delusion, drawn from false theory, concerning the present system of return. The short note, which you inserted on the 7th, signed a steady and UNDAUNTED RE FORMER, moves with remarkable force how wide ly that delusion extends, even among the real ttiends of the Constitution. That writer at once commends a Letter, signed A PITTITE, and re- probates what he calls at Sari o n Parliameut meaning, I presume, a Parliament returned in part, (though in fact, in a very small proportion) by Boroughs as inefficien!, in point of n umbers, as Old Sarum.' If such men are deluded by this no tion, how can «e wonder that persons less firm in principle, or ivithout any fixed principle at all, are led away, and driven inio Madness by the coo!, mplation of it. It is to prevent this aka, which I know not otherwiie howt to ob viate, that I would advise any kind of altcra- lion. For, in very truth, I do not believe, that, by any possible system of election or return, better Legislative Bodies could ever be formed than have sat successively in the House of Commons, from the time of the Revolution. That every individual, in any assembly what eves, should be equally fit for the office of a Le gislator, or equally zealous to perform it,' is ut terly impossible. But when property, talent, education, experience, are collectively employed to do the business of the State, in numbers very con siderable, and in weight no less efficient, it is not the 'change of fifty or more individuals that could materially alter the Constitution of the whole. But if such. a change were to be made, as would infuse the spirit of democracy into that assembly, or render it subservient to t'be mistakes or ca prices of the people, farewell the Monarchy; ftire well the British Constitution ; farewell the Liberty and Glory of the Nation ! But no hot-headed Politician, nor any half informed cool-headed one, can possibly be made to comprehend this truth. Therefore an alteration ratty he requisite, merely to save appearances; for as to any real good which could be done, in other respects, by such a change as your Steady 14former reqiires, 1 deny it, without hesitation or reserve. - Poliiical theories are very specious and itnpos ing ; but, like theories in philosophy, are very often erroneous. And as one judicious experi ment may overthrow the whole system of a phi losopher, much more ought the practical expe rience of a century to be accepted. as decisive against the systems of speculating Politicians. But what political system ever had so much of sound experience in its favour es our glorious Constitution ? No tbeory,:therefore, ought to be permitted to•cause a radical alteration in it. If you look to the proceedings of America, where the system is made as democratic as it could be, end where the people vainly boast of 'a' . Itherty tit►:sh preferable, in their opinion, to that of England, and you will see the same common- place argmnents employed against wars, taxes, and every measure which the Government finds necessary, as have been so often exhausted by our pretended Patriots,. Be assured that no pos sible change would satisfy or! silence such de claimers. To ., satisfy them is impossible ; and if they cannot be silenced by constitutional means, the single method that remains is to let them rave unheeded, providing, at the same time, for the safety of the whole, by such measures as the present laws afford, or a slight amendment of them may authorize.

Another is also making up, to take possession of St. Antoine, tin der the command of General Long." At length the wretched farce of Ilutvr's return to that Capital which he has so long been per mitted ro disturb, passed off yesterday, without those mischievous consequences which might reasonably be expected how the assemblage of an ithintnse Rabble, compr;zing, no doubt, all the Thieves and Ruffians which the Metropolis could supply. The latter hordes, who may be considered as harmless, when compared with the Radical Reformers, of course exercised their vocation with all possible assiduity and expertness, and, with little danger of detection, among - those who aim not at mere petty larceny guilt, but at a universal spoliation of property, and the destruction of all , Government, but that of a mere Mob Despotism, which, in case they could succeed, they would in disputably est a bli s h to t h e tota l ru i n of the British Empire. The gang, who bad resources sufficient to enable them to enjoy a Tavern Dinner, de" frayed, no doubt, out of the Penny Subscription extorted front their deluded followers, with rite io consistency that marks all the combinations of bad men, could nut suppress their jealousy of each other, themselves. WATSON, it and quarelled amo n g seems, slid not aspire to the Chair himself, but. wanted to shew his influence ovtr the Radical Rabble present, by placing GALE JoNEs in that hon.ursble post, bat was overborne by the Flutvv. rtes, who, after having attended HuNT's pro cession, naturally wished to see him enjoy the chief glories of the day.

As HUNT, however, is known to be ! lot without. a white feather, as %veil as a white hat, they did not proceed beyond a verbal contest.
