;FOR THE SUN. ro MRS. •JUHN HULL. LETTER IV. *DEAR MRS. BULL—Though .aotssator is some 'times a little out, of sorts, yet if you can once -chew him the way .to contentment, I have no doubt that in time be will learn. to-be happy. I sot a ware that it most sometimes hurt his feelings to see others 'enjoying all the comforts•and plea sures of iife,'as they are called, withont any or much apparent exertion, whilst he is forced to toil late and early to procure even its necessaries. But this, instead of paralyzing his industry or checking his economy, ought only to excite him to greater activity and to more chearful self-de pia! 5 tor, who are those whose wealth he en- vies, or how has that wealth been acqUired The great majority he will fio:i have become rich solely limn their• Own prudence and fict ivit-y, giving etn p►loyment every day,. OS tilty became richer and richer, to n greater number of didr leihW-cititens, and of course promoting their welfare whilst ap parently only seeking after their own. Now, if these men had not ti us got rich, some o'her individuals must have done so, or else thou- sands of those who have hitherto suppotted them selves and families by tn.►uual industry, must have been left to idleness anti want ; indeed, many of the thousands now alive would never have 1110 existence, for it cvt►p only by the accumulating wealth of the countj•y that our population has been encouraged to double itself neatly within the last hundred years. As for the wealth that has been inherited front Ancestors, recollect that the same laws which secured its descent, at the same time secured the accumulating property O 1 industrious individuals, who were thus induced to labour beyond what was absolutely necessary for their own enjoyment, or the immediate support of their families, be cause they saw every day before their eyes con vincing proofs that the surplus savings of their in dustry would descend securely to theirchildren. Sucl was their wish ; and such, I presume, is yours. But if y - ou and JOHNNY sanction -mea sures which will unsettle the present distribution of property, what security will you then hare ,that your children will enjoy that which you ate now able to leave them, much less that extra pro perty which it is possible, and scarcely so, that you and JOHNNY might collect in the scramble of • revolutionary division ? But, my dear Mrs. BULL, we have seen tha't an equal distribution of property, capable of-divi sion, would be certain ruin to the great mass of the Nation, even to the paupers, because it would break the dams that collected the current stream, until it could be employed in turning the wheels of the complicated machine of society ; and, as to unequal distribution, by a new division, what would that be but to give to the idle, the worth less, the interested envious demagogues, that which others had ►lcgnired by industry and eco nomy ? Now, what share could you and yours ex pect in such a scramble ? Look round in your own neighbourhood, and ask yourself the question,— True, there may be one or two elegant mansion houses, three or four comfortable villas, five or six good farm-houses, and some manufactories; but reflect bow many candidates there would be for each of these ; and even if your good man - were to succeed its placing you to-day in a com fortable farm-house, in a manufacturer's villa, or in a Nobleman's mansion, what means of security would you have for the permanence of your pus ' , session ? Remember that before you find JOHNNY' Ould act thus with impunity, all Law, and all se curity of property must be at an end ! Then how are you to possess to-morrow that which you have taken possession of to-day ? To appea! to the Laws will be useless ; for Law will be already set aside, the Judges reduced by obloquy to in significance ; and, as for Juries, why they would naturally have an eye to the properly themselves Let us suppose that you were to oust the Duke of DEVONSHIRR front Woohurn Abbey, or Lord SCF• TON from Croxteth Hall, or Colonel COOKE from Wheatley, or that you or some other old woman were to be appointed Mayor of York or Nor wich, or that JoutiblY and you were to get hold of Alderman %VALTHMAN'S shop, or the Chronicle, Yews Office, or the Times printing-office, or Sir FRANKEY'3 scat in Derbyshire ; or suppose poor BIRD, the cobler, were to make good his claim to Brougham Hall, formerly Bird's nest, and gain that by force which poverty prevents him from pursuing•, what security would there be for hold ing any of those good things for four-and-twenty .hours ? • But perhaps you think these things might be `divided and enjoyed in partnership, like the Isle worth,Mill, so neatly divided in favour of the po pular B i aronet at B►entford ! Ah, my dear Mrs. BULL, that was an, iinfortunate experiment, as some of the unhappy ;deluded Patriots can tell, vao were sent 'by a Jury of thtir fellow-citizens to represeut their native - land in the stesarts of New South Wales ; and you cats have little rt a son to hope that the new system of division would etimately be more successful. I. is true, that by the plans now proposed, the Rich tvould be forced to part with much; but would the Poor gain that much which the, others lost Suppose all the manufacturers, the extensive far mers, the opulent merchants, the men of fortune, reduced to your present level, where would you loot; for employment for JpIINNY or the children? Of•.what avail would it„he for you to possess the hundredth part of a cotton-mill, even if so much were to come to your share Who would give you credit for the cotton to work it !_Nay, if you were to get tupply of cotton, still you must la bour,or, starve ! for even it the land too were di vided, you renst-either till the one, or manufac ture in the other, according as Messrs. HUNT, JOHNSON, HARRISON, WATSON, &C. &C. anti the rest of the Directory, .or Consuls, or Emperors, or what not, might choose to direct ! .Weed, my clear Mrs. BuLt., you would soon find yourself in a dikmma, which not even those industrious Solicitors, AICS;IS. HARMER or 1 3 ,EAR' SON, would be able to extricate you from; not even though Alderman Wool) were Lord Mayor, and Alderman \VAITHMAN Treasurer of the Coon try! What then is left for you, but to enjoy quietly what little you now possess, to persuade JOHNNY to preserve peace anti tranquillity, lest even the employinent be has at present fur his industry should slip through his fingers, when property shall be rendered so insecure by'popular Meetings, that no one will risk the putting it into activity. It will serve yon little, then, to manu facture flags, or wear red ribbands, and JOHNNY himself may toss his white hat at Guildhall for a week of forenoons, without being able to bring you home a leg of mutton for Sunday's dinner ! But your own good sense must point out to you more clearly than I have done, the inevitable consequences of any attempt at change. You only require a hint to give to your reflect ions that pecu liar bias which must lead to truth. On you the happiness of nay of the World, depends. You will then, in spite of revolutionary folly,' train up your little ones in contented industry, and you will make JOHNNY feel his home to he more comfortable than the crowded Meeting, the Crown and Anchor squeeze, or the dermocratic pot-Douse,—And so, good night, Mrs. BULL..

A Caricature, entitled le Passe Temps National was seized at Paris on Tuesday, and 'a prosecution ordered. The object of the •Caricature is not ex plained. A dealer in Barometers was also arrest ed at a Cabaret, in, the Place de l'Odeon, where he was exhibiting a small statue of BUONAPARTE, and using. expressions contrary to good order, which, it is added, excited a considerable tumult.

The troops hay ing again put them down, it is asserted, that the next day the sailors in the port reinforced the populace, and alter holding some parleys with the soldiers, the latter refused to act against the people. It is added, char the KING had, in con sequence, quitted his capital to proceed to a strong fortress at some leagues distance, and that new troops had been ordered to. march upon CeTentagen." There have been disturbances &. a similar character at Elsineur. Ai' article from Madrid, dated the 16th ultimo, says. the Expedition at• Cadiz is to be reduced to 10,000 men,. The Count CALLEJA is reported to have solicited to be relieved from the command of it, on account of' his age and infirmities. The Count d'AntsnAt. is stated to have been then at Madrid, but from the tone and manner in which he is spoken of, it may be inferred that _he was in disgrace. The Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE, who had been on a visit for some weeks to the Land grave of HESSE, set out the 224.1 ult. for Hanover. The following are extracts from the Journals of Friday:— " PARIS, OCT.

Four days after entering the prairies they lost rite horse which carried their tent, and some provisions ; they continued their march eight days, the thermometer being above 80 degrees, sometimes in want of water, and hiving most of the time only such provisions as they could shoot they were compelled, at length, to make for the river, ant: join the boat.

BEYDGES 360 '2,344 \VooD - - 178 1,647 THORP -17 G 1,632 EARL GROSVRICOR..--•An Evening Paper having asserted that this Nobleman had subscribed a hun dred pounds to 1-losz, his Lordship has thought proper to address the Editor, declaring that " he did not subscribe to Hone." W e are glad to have an opportunity of doing justice to this Noblethan on the present occasion, and sincerely wish that we could congratulate the county on his return to those political principles by which he so honour ably distinguished himself on his entrance. iuto public life. .Ins - talents, attainments, and vir tues would render hint as estimable in - the eves of the Nation as he is in the circle of his private connexions. The Address from the Merchants, Bankers;and Traders, Ste. must give pleasure to all svell-diTos ed people. It slims that a really Constitutional and Loyal Party are rising in the City of London, to oppose the prOgress of those turbulent Refor mers who want to overawe the Authorities of our great Commercial Capital, and to obtain such an influence over the Livery as to engross all power to themselves. Ant) who are these men,? The New Times of this day has traced the history, as well as described the characters of these brawl ing Upstarts and mischievous Declaimers, who, we hope, 'will be put down by the really respecta ble inhabitants of the City. All those really re spectable characters, who from their opttleflce end connexions, may reasonably presume to take a lead in public affairs, particularly those which relate to the City, have remained too long supine, and hence the noisy and chievous Reformers have been suffered to gain ground, and have had their vanity inflated by the praise of such Papers as The Morning Chronicle and The Times. As to the former of those Papers something better might be expected from it, be cause it once supported constitutional doctrines upon the avowed principles of old English Wh'iggism, but it is now to be numbered among the Radi cal Journals, and a great part of the diScontents 'of the lower orders may be ascribed to its mischiev. ous incitements. The. Chronicle to day nibbles at the Address of the Merchants, &c., and affects to agree to some parts of it; but it does so merely for the sake of appearances, that it may cover its re newed abuse of the Manchester Magistrates and Yeomanry, who, notwithstanding the obtrusive efforts of Mr. HARMER, will, we doubt not, come through the ordeal of inquiry with honour.-- Never can it be believed that the Yeomanry tram - acted as HUNT and some of the Newspaper Re• porters stated, and those who can give credit to the cruelties imputed to the former . MUSl be con• scions that their own hearts are capable of such atrocities. The Times, knowing that Ths New 'Pities is rapidly gettiug a-mead of i;, which we are assured is the tact, is obliged to act with great caution, least it should precipitate its downfall. Adverting to thei Address us question, The Tithes this day says, " The set of Gentlemen who stile thvmselvcs Merchants, Bankers, &c. of London." We mar ask that unprincipled and infamous Paper, it the persons in question do not come under that description, or if it conceives that its fa vourites the WooLEas, the WaTsows, the GALS. JoNEses, and all the rest of the Reforming Ruffians, who are daily endeavouring to corrupt the minds ,of the People, .are the ouly_Getitlemeis which the City of London can supply ? See• jug' that ne New Times, as we have 'said, is " pushing, it front its stool," The Tinos is afraid to attack the Merchants, Bankers, &c., on the ground of, their Address, shifts from the sub jeer, and accuses them of having before m :de an attempt on'the credulity of Parliament" for the purpose 'of effecting a " perpetual Paper Cur' rency." This is a shallow artifice to avoid cow.. menting upon the Address, be - cause it is sup" ported by ail loyal men ; but it will sheor the cloven foot of Faction, though it at' tempts to shift the subject. Persevere, rdir• NEW TIMES, in detecting the tricks of the OH Times, for which you are well qualified, having taken away all the spirit knowl6dge, •attd, loyalty, b 1 which it was animated, while you directed it, and it will he as much disposed as it whs during the worst period of Logg;3ll2.

But the question is hos't not met ely as to Persons.
