TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. TAYLOR, the PROPRIETOR of THE SUN NEWSPAPER, being desirous of lessening the Lia• beur and Solicitude attending the Conduct of a Deily Print, is willing to part with a portion ot it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources, whose Politicel Principles correspoed with those which the Paper has always supported, and who 'would be, inclined to. ce•operete in Manage meet as well as Literary Composition. Ile would. rather at once dispose of the whole concern, if he did not venture to conceive that the steadiness of his Political Character has excited the confi dence of his Readers, and that his long expel-j -et:et. may reasonably be supposed to attach Some - credit to his competency in the conduct ot Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these a whit and threatening times every Public Man should terrain at his pest, in order to contiihete, to the utmost Of h is power, towards the defence of our inestimable Constitution. Several In dividuals have otf-ted to purchase the Paper; . but as it was founded under the immediate sane. lion of the Lite Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems it his dirty to consider it as a Poleical Legacy left by that Illustrious Statesman to his Comory, to 'le.:entail% and perpetuate those Principles which ate tuns( conducive to the sectoity of the State and the happiness of the People. * fleece the Ad mirers of that enlightened Nlittistee and true Pa triot may think that a Pittner instituted by him, and for such important objects, should be ()fret - eel to some public spirited Body, actuated by hip4iter considerations than mere legerd to pecuniary ad vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel fare ; or at least to Hey other whose interests may be essentially United with the interest of the Coun tiy. sued Pet tons the Ptoprietor would most willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and, however anxious he may he fur repose, at - ter maey ) . curs of toil a n d solicitude, he would' readily act as their Agent so 101)!Z as his s seperintendanee jnie ht be required. It cantor ' he necessary to dtvell of, the high reputation which THE SUN las so long possessed, in consequence of the nedeviating consktency of its Political Chargeter, end the tenter:it propriety of its eenerel Couduct. To support a .Government acting on the system Of \lr PitT is the main principle by which the Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad herence to that sys;em can it maintain its charac ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach ment to a System which comprehends the safety of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser vile coecurrence in the Measures of any Admini stration. But while THE SUN perseveres in the same direct course, it may reasonably expect the support. of the present Government, on account of irs Political Principles, and the reverence dire to the memory of its Illustrious Foniedet, sieve an indifference to the tete such a Paper, on the part of a PITT ADMINISTRATION, Wool , l be a sole as well as e reproach, which it is no likely to ineur. With net less confidence may the Paper rely on the protection of the Pito - TeST ANT CHURCH, as it has so strenturesly sap ported it alit iris supposed to be peculiarly patronized - by Joe CLaRGY ; among whom it certaielye can boast of many valuable Cor re,pondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be well qualified, by ebilities and knowledge, to in sr, net the Community at large, and, in these times, should consider that they have duties to fulfil as Citizens as well its Pastors, they reieht very properly possess themselves of a Paper which would not only - enable them - to Ent ead rieht principles is general, but also to check those licentious and impious doctrines which ate daringly inculcated with malignant assiduity, and - are manifestly intended to destroy the Relieinn and the Government of the Conn try. Toe Proprietor may confidently expect tine support of the PITT CLUES throughout the British Empire, considering to whom THE SUN owes its origin, and from whom they derive their appella l•n. ANNUAL CRLEBRATIOXS of a BIRTH-DAY re of little use, and must fail into languor and decay, 'Hess effective means ,are taken to diffuse and support the Principles upon which those Association, are professedly established. 'lnc SUN may alio expect the support of the REGULAR SotaClTeas throughout the Kingdom, as that Paper, and that alone, has zealously - endeavoured to maintain the honour of the Legal Profession, by exempting it from all irregelar Practitioners and discreditable intruders. Finally, THE SUN may look to the PEOPLE AT LARGE for patronage and enenuragement on account of the steadiness of its Principles, its Public Spirit, and its reso bite endeavours, cm all occasions, to promote the Honour and interest of the' Country. Such, then, is the Opportunity which the Proprietor now offers to his Ceentrymen ; and as it presents A P , T TO PUBLIC VIRTUE, and to GENUINE PA.

[Morning Chrorade.] Aceonnts from Washing'on have been received in the City, under date of 25111 August, of a most impottant nature. The deliberations on the dis 'patches relating to the Florida affairs, and receiv ed by the Hornet, had produced in the American Cabinet, sensations of the strongest kind against Spain. and, as a preliminary measure, they had -determined to withdraw their Minister from Ma drid. T h e Hornet and another vessel of war were held in readiness to sail for Cadiz with this noti fication to Mr. Forsyth, and on board were the naval officers intended to replace those belonging to the Mediterranean squadron, who. bad been dis missed by Cornt»Odore Stuart. Of course it was not possible for the American Executive to take any decisive measure, for the present, on the question at issue between the United Stags and slain, but n Report of all the negociations, and their result, was preparing for Congress. [The Times] Extract of a letter dated Aux Cayes, July 31: " is arrived here from the Isle de Vachc, where he had been for several days at anchor. In re-entering the port, his brig, the Macgregor, got aground, and it the end of thirty six hours went down, the attempts to save her having proved tionvailing. Melancholy to relate, the t:reater part ot the sick who were on board perished. 'Of the passetgets by the three ships, the Mary Eliza, Henry, and Tariintula, the num bers ate daily diminishing by sick ness. We now consider Miegregies success impossible, its he has iirifliet men, money, or provisions.

'Flue only vessel lie has now with him is the Tarantula, Puolman, ot London, lying, in the Bay of Flamtuands, with oply 16 passengers on board," Apprehenions are entertained for the safety of the Abundance store-ship, which sailed hour Pout%mouth the 19th of Aptil, for Saint He lena, the Cape, anti 11.14tiritiw, as she had not arrived at Saint Helena when the Itedpole sloop of war, which arrived at Portsmouth on Tbnrsday, left that Island; and the miderstand she was despatched in con,equence or the non arrival of the Abundance, The Ledpole touched at Ascension the 14th of August.—(Mid.) THE COLONIES NOVA SCOTIA. [From the Ifidflax Free Piess.l REMOVAL OP THE NAVAL ESTABAsHMENT AT HALIFAX. The intelligence of a lot-lei nature, rec,ived by the packet is most extraordinary and unexpected. We had already seen with regret and astonishment our vessels excluded from the ports of a neighbouring- nation,—our r;gl.'s rclinquishrd . by the adoption of a course of policy, which permits foreigners to frequent the hathours and bays of this Colony, and to take and cure fish upon its shcres; 7 —hut we never!could have ima gined, that one of the finest foreign Yards in his Majesty's Dominions was to be abandoned, and its buildings consign ed to ruin and decay, Such, hOWever, is the fact—and it is this day our unpleasant duty ter announce to the public that the stores in the Naval Hospital are to 44 removed to Bermuda, and the otlicers and people of that Department are to he'discharged, with the exception of a clerk, a porter, and one labourer; and that the Duck Yard is t..) .be.placeJ upon the same establishment as that of Gibraltar;—which we be lieve has an officer and six labourers. We view this'measure, in common with every well wisher to the Province, with sorrow and concern ; ,ant that we think this colony does not contain resources withia itself, which if called into action by the uniaed energies of its population, would be amply sufliciena for the snpport aad prosperity of its inhabitants; but because we consider the dismissal of the people to whom these departments hare hitherto yielded sup port, and who are, generally spea/.ing, old and faithful ser vants of Government, as an act pregnant with the most seri ous consequences to themselves and their numerous families; —that it is withdrawing-a large s;urn of money from circuits r tion, at a period when the Collialeree of the country labours under the most. extreme depres-iotit—and also that it must he viewed as demonstrating the near approach of that period when this Province will be torn from the British diadem. It has long been the opiniou of well informed men, that Government, in making Bermuda a naval depdt, contemplat ed the possibility of ultimately losing these Provinces, and was therefore desirous of guaraingagainst the pernicious con sequences, which might result to the other colonies in the wes tern hemisphere in consequence of that event, by having a place S whose insular situation, together with its natural and artifi cial defences, would at all times offer a retreat for the British fleets. But it could scarcely have been contemplated that in the midst of peace and security, the naval arsenal at Halifax on a reduced scale, would be destroyed, and its stores removed to a place diflicult of approach, liable to the fevers and tem pests of a West. India climate, and where the expence of victualling the persons employed by Government, amounts to treble the sum which would he required in this Province.— Besides all this, the Dock Yard at Bermuda is by no means • complete, and theapproach to it is rendered extremely difficult, • and Cecil dangerous, owing to the intricacy of the navigation ; and notwithstanding; the immense sums which hare been ex pended, a vessel cannot be hove down without much risk. and must be righted should a fresh breeze spring tip from any point in the compass from north-east round to south-west. However, as such has heel, the line of conduct adopted by His Majesty's Ministers, and as it is out duty to submit to their aecisions, it behoves its to look within ourselves, and to ascertain what resources this Province poiseSses,—and with manliness and alacrity to seize upon its advantages. Among these the most cosvpiettous are presented be a water cote munizationathat might be opened at a comparatively small expence betwelta Halifax harbour and the Shnhenacadie.— We have been much gratified of fare, by finding; that this multi ect bas.not only beceme a theme of conversation, hut that plans are under consideration for accomplishing an ela lea so desirable. Were this Province in the-bands of our more enterprising and patriotic neighbours, it would have larch effected long since. By cutting through is distance of about 18 miles at fart hest, and by expending a •siren not ex • ceediog 30,0au1. an immense supply of timber, staves, veal, plaster of Paris ;and lime, could he wrought with ease and ex pedition to the wharfs of Halifax ; ants vessels tiott are nose , compelled to brave the dangers of the Bay of rtilkly, and grope their way to St. John's, might procure cargoas with fa cility and ease in one or the finest harbours in America. measures purstied by Government with respect to these Co:unic , , will, we are persuaded, impel the inhabi• t:tnts of this Province to cultivate the advantages with which Nature has blessed them ; end it is - this rellectihn alone that iutp u - ts dcheerin; :ay amidst the surrownding One Ica of the sam usually voted for the road set vice by the Le i,;is'alnre, wool(' in three years accomplish the ohject to h We have allude,' ; and a prompt and manly represen taLi the;grievances which are created by a circuniscrit ,ll trade, together with a respectful application for redress, would, we feel., cotseinced, he attended with viccess.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FRObt PORT OF SPAIN, TM- NIUAD, DATED AUG. 12. " A severe shock of an earthquake yeas expe rienced here early this morning. It happened, as nearly as I can judge, about half-past two o'clock. I was unable to sleep, from the excessive beat, and therefOre distinctly perceived the whole phe nomenon. At first I heard, as it n ere, a violent wind, which was instantly succeeded by an oti dnlatory motion from EPA to West, very severe, and kisttdOut fonr or five seconds. I instantly jumped out of bed, and ran into, the vim!, not niliini f ; to experience a beC011(.1 shuck within the wait of a house. It was a remarkably clat molilight night, and nothing patticolir discrnable in the state of the atmosphere. Tb' brut! creation were greatly disturbed. " Four persons have been lardy imprisoned for snuggling Slaves from the French Islands. 00' of than a respectable person holding a goal aims" 'tion n the Registry of Slaves Office, and which consequently gave him great facilities for pursuing thislitiquitous traffic; another, the Captain of a vesse, bas contrived to make his escape frog Jail.' We recently manifested our earnest hopes that the Meat body of Merchants, Bankers, Trades• men, Ind other respectable CbaraCters in the City of Lotdon, would come forward to counteract the eff,rts of those Radical Reformers who want to tyrainice over the great Capital of the World, and venivally to overthrow the fabric of the State. It is %%1;1i much pleasure v:e find, as our Readers will see by an Advertisement, in anotbet part of our Paper, that our hopes have been greti• fi d, wad . we trust that what has tints been excited by a temporary necessity will. become an esta• blithed habit, and that all the opulent And distill.. gilished Characters of our great City mil feel - it to be their duty henceforward to lake a leading and an acti►e part in its concerns, Fur want of this exertion on the part of respectable and eminent men, a set of vulgar Upstarts have risen into notice, who have neither capaci'y nor knowledge inffideut to entitle them to direct public opinion, AVI)0 are misled by vanity, and tvho, rather tl►an remain in quiet and harmless obscurity, would nut only disturb the Public Peace its London, but spread the seeds of disaffectiors and sedition all over the Einpire. Unhappily, by the assistance of the Jacobin Newspapers, the turbulent harangues of these mischievous Orators, who can only delude the most vulgar and igno• rant of the multitude, are spread over the town, anti the Speakers are exalteld into a bastard import ance, and incited to persevere. But we are glad to find that the People at large are opening tbvir eyes to the fatal consequences that may at- , tend the circulation of such Public Prints as cit . - ciliate the Radical doctrines, and now ate encon" raging those which support the cause of loyalty,and the Constitution framed by the wisdom, defended by the courage, and transmitted by the patrintisnl of, our Ancestors. Our headers saw by a Letter from a respectable Society at Nottiughani, that an Evening Paper was discarded to mike way for an additional SUN, Knit we insert another this day of the sane gra; itying description, Thaa we find that the uniform steadiness and curl' sistency of our Paper, which has this day entered the TWENTY..EIGIITH Year of its Existence, IS working its way into that universal reputation to which we can confidently say that it is fully in. titled, because it adheres to ti!e system of.
