FOR THE', SUN. TO MISS BULL. LETTER 11. MY DZAR MiSS.. , -.4 am happy to find thatyour good sense has kept you away from the York Meeting. Indeed there were Whigs enough there without you ; and, though it was no place for girls, yet thOse concerned seem to have made old women's work of it, voting as truths of high political no velty what every body has assented to far the last five centuries, but erring most egregiously as to-.the premises to which these truths were applied, and actually assuming as facts the very points respecting which inquiry was demanded. 'ou, my dear Miss BULL, in your, no doubt frequent, culinary superintendence of the viands for honest JOHN'S refectory, may sometimes have heard applied the homely proverb of " after meat mustard."—You may even have beard it whis pered, that " God sends meat, but somebody else sends cooks." You yourself may have often said, that " the proof of the pudding is in the eating of it,"—nay, that " half a loaf is better than no bread," and I leave it to your sagacity to say, how far these great truths, like the York Resolu tions, relate to that grand measure of retro-anti cipation which voted an Address to call Parlia ment, after Parliament bad been called—to the motley group of Whigs, Moderates, and Radicals, all differing in essentials, yet professing to unite in Reform—to the probable, even to the passing results of modern Meetings,—and to the ruin which these Reformers are bringing on themselves, whilst striving to utado and plunder the Country. These are very simple considerations, Miss BULL, and very plainly put, so as to be equally iutelligible to you anti to your dairy maid ; but, these examined, I recommend no further political investigations into subjects on which you can have no absolute personal concern, as you have no votes at present, and have no hopes held out to you even under Universal Sufrage! 01 the free dom of your Countrymen, however, you do now fully partake ; but in seekiug for more you may lose what you now possess. The men of England are fully competent of themselves to preserve and maintain every attribute of real Liberty. If women are called forward to assist in ob taining more titan that, they will only help to forge their own chains. In Despotism women arc the slaves of man—itt anarchy they are his vic tims. Chose between the two; but, without a pun, you will chose that which is between the ttvo, the wholesome regulated liberty of British social order. Then quit the Forum, my dear Miss, (or the Fire-side,where you are sure to please JOHNN whether it be itt the chearful parlour, or the humbler kitchen where you may draw up a Bill of Fare mod' better than a Bill of Rights, engage in broils and stews much more agreeable than those of political contention, see geese plucked by hand as bare as by pertny subscriptions and volun tory contributions., and cook your Yorkshire gans 71tWi !Mot its being hung I In tine, AlislßuLL, look itito your soup-kettle, and leirn this important trutb, that, in soups and in polities, whetwver they come to boil, the sciir4 will al ,vay. be uppermost:* This, my dear. Miss, is the adrice of one who loves )7:lu—my (wore silence you may consider as approval—hut it you err, beware ! I shall be at you again, and purify you by transferring all your spots to 'ln& SUN.

EDITOR—The Memoirs of Madame D'E PINAY, though by no means to be re,connuended to young readers, contain some corions matters . for thole whose morals are fixed. Such pet sons will contemplate the (Picture of French domestic manners, as existing at that period, With Cllitoixed disgust, or mingled only with astottishutetit. But the acuteness of the fair Auto-biographer will occasionally please the reader ; and iu no instance, perhaps, does it appear more remarkable than in the following passage, addressed to her ec centric Corresponticut, J. J. itousss.sts : " .1c trouve que sZtre code de a la suite de rotre quetelle avec Diderot, tie tessemble Mit! au reglement que ne manque pas de faire 14 Nation Aiiglaise, loPsgoe (pelvic crisc /Hi fait op perceroir &Int ses loin ua vice qui boulererse lora tacit, et ample! on tie petit rentedier pour le pre tent, Buse d'avoir e e prevu."—T. ii, p.

I trust that our Lvgisimorm, when assembled, will justify her remark, that we never fail to remedy such defects when thus dis covered. The assemitling of unlimited multitudes, under legal pretences, yet with the most illegal intentions, has now been near producing its very worst effects. A temporary law was passed for the prevention of such mischief, but it was sufF,Ted to expire. Fur the pe.ce Am! security of the country, it ought new to he made permanent; and the well-atrect cd part of the na:iou, the real friends of the Con. stil Wiwi, hope acid expect that no violent opposi tion trill be in dde in PS dinment to such a mea. sioe. of , owe even of the most eminent Irailera on both sides hare felt, and in some de gree expressed the necessity. I 'INT. FOR THE SUN. PAINE'S At:E OF REASON. MR. EDlTOR—thving in eat ly life been in fluenced to assent totha dreadful impiety of this pernicious and detestable work, and having, through the mercy of Con, been led to see toy error, and also to feel a direct contrary opinion, I cannot but be exceedingly grieved to find that so great a number of copies are srill i u circulation. The great mischitt is, that many persons (per haps all) who believe the contents of this book, have never perused,the Scriptures for themselves, which was Div own case, till atter I had read PonTEus's " Evidences of Christikroiiy ;" and, its one of the objects of the Age of Reason is to strike at the foundation, by denying the Jlosaic account of the Creation. and by asserting the improbability of maintaining a regular chain itt evidence, I beg permission to semi you a state ment of that important chain as it stands record ed in the Bible ; and I do think that every im - partial person will perceive that a more lucid and uninterrupted connection of testimony cannot be found itr any historical work in the world.-- This fact being established beyond the power of contradiction, all the subsequent events recorded in the Holy Scriptures demand our implicit con fidence, and none but the most daring Infidels will attempt to contradict them.

The account of the Birth, Death, Resurrection, and Ascen sion of Christ, are as clear as the meridian FOR THE SUN. Mr. EniTorr.—There can be bid one opinion as to the Coroner's Court being open to tire Public, either as Spectator or Spy, at your very liberal Correspondent FLINT will have it, It is enacted by Stat. de Officio Coronatoris 4 Ed. I. St. 1. that the Coroner and Jury (sum moned upon the Inquest), are to inquire into the manner of killing, and all the circumstances th►t occasioned the parties' death, the identity of the deceased's person, and also to view the wounds to ascertain by what weapons they were inflicted. It becomes his duty in his official capacity to take care that the King have right done hin►, not by stifling evidence, hilt by the evimination (.f - every person, and inquiry into every circumstance connect ed with, or that ?nay in any manner tend to spew how the party came by his death. Hs is to make proclamation in open Court, calling upon every person who can, to give evidence how A. B. came by his death ; and, as his decision is final, he ouzht to hear counsel and evidence on both sides and that also in open Court. it my view of the duty of Coroner be correct, pray, let me ask your Correspondent Flint, what he aims at, when he indiscriminately vents his scurrility and abuse alike on the Coroner for "4 bandying civilities with a Reformer's Attorney," as on Ale. Harmer for what he considers " inter ferit►g with tie business of the Coroner's Court, and intruding on the Coroner's Jurisdiction." " I lung to see such fellows properly checked" —Now for Flint's consistency—after asking, in surprise, whether " the right to admit the Public includes the privilege of interfering with the Co roner's Court, or of intruding on the Coroner's Jurisdiction"—the surprise lie feigns on asking that question subsides, when he finds Mr. Ash worth endeavouring to teach the Coroner his duty; in doing which of conrse be interferes, but Flint solaces himself with an answer of his own. " I am pleased to gild that the Oldham Coroner has at least found an instructor in his duty," but 1 would ask, if " it is not an Attorney's business to direct and controul the Gotta in which he practices ;" whether it is the business of Mr. Ashworth or any other Barrister to do so ; although I do not ven ture an asset tion, that either Mr. Harmer or Mr. Ashworth. has attempted to direct or controul the Coroner'■ Court at Oldham. If Flint is inclined to substitute argument for that petulant unfeeling asperity, and scurrilous invective he has poured forth in his former pro ductions, and will clothe his arguments with tem per and moderation, he shall not find me shrink from exposing his fallacies, or giving every credit •here it is due: but should lie adhere to hit for mer tt►nde of attack on the principles of respecta ble men, it must sink into that merited contempt, which it cannot fail to excite in the breast of every honourable and liberal member of the community. Should you deem this worthy of insertion, you will oblige, Your bumble servant, STEEL. We received this morning, the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday last. The Monileur of Satur day contains a Royal Ordonnance, directing the Chambers to assemble on the lath of November next. The following are Extracts : " PARIS , Ocr. 16.—• The King took bit ac customed airing yesterday, and on the preceding day. The Marquess de Riviere, French Ambassa dor.to Constantinople, took leave of his Majesty at a private audience.

" A fire broke out at 8 o'clock on Thursday evening in the warehouses of the Messagrries Royales, which burnt for a long time with great fury, and caused an immense loss. Several per sons were seriously wounded by the fall of a wall. " It is said, that the Princess of \Vales has arrived at Lyons, accompanied by nine persons. " The Duke de Richelim is according to The Journal de Leige, to proceed to Warsaw to visit the Emperor of Russia. " The Princess of Wales (the Countess OLIO arrived at Lyons in the night of the 11 th instant, with a suite of nine persous. On the 13th her Royal Highness attended a theatrical representa tion. Her Royal Highness was expected at Paris last night, she travels incognito. " It is said, that apprehensions of the Yellow Fever prevail even at Madrid, the contagion having spread to several towns in Andalusia ; all the gates of the capital were shut except two, and no person was allowed to enter coming from Andalusia or the South of Spain.

At the former place the number of sick, which was on the 15th ult. 1086, continued to diminish till the 24th, when it was no more than 493 ; at Cadiz the 29th, the number of sick was 4,075, and of deaths 62.

NEW YORK, SEPT. 13.—We learn from Captain QUENRAU, ‘iho is arrived from Curraion, that the Spaniards would feign an attack on Margaretta, in order to draw Admiral Batobt from Cumana. 'the Spaniards have laid am embargo at Porto Cavallo and Lagnira.

The Religion of the Country has been so wickedly invaded by the infamous Reformers 'AO pretend to improve the Constitution of the Coun try, that every good man must view with high gratification the Meeting which has been insU tnted by Sir JAMES BLAND BURGESS, for the i4ol tection of the National Faith. We have reason to believe, that the objects of this Meeting, Will forcibly operate upon the People at large, Iv!'l have always been deemed a religious -Peoplt, and such, we trust, that we shalt al , vsis continue to be, in spite of Atheistical or Deistical Reformers of Church or Sate. cannot be doubted, that though the Heads 0 1 the Church might feel the delicacy of their si" tttation, and be reluctant to take the lead in • measure of this nature, yet that they will give to it the weight of their countenance and authority. Di this means our Holy Faith will be, no doubt/ exempted from all future attacks of blasphemers. particularly if the law be enforced, as we trust that it will be, upon all those miscreants who not only endeavour to destroy our happiness here. but to unfit us for that felicity which we shall assuredly obtain hereafter, if we manifest a de* regard for our religious duties. The York County Meeting, which has been to triumphantly hailed by the degenerate Whigs of the day as an assemblage of some of the greatest men in the Country, is said, in The Leeds Inte denser of yesterday, to have been " one of the most insignificant ever witnessed, when we con' rider that it was intended to express the fo od- , went: of the largest, most populous, and most opulent County in the Kingdom. With the ex ception of the Nobleman and Gentleman on MI Hustings, it was little more than an assembly of Radicals, scarcely exceeding, in point of respected. bility, the Meeting on Hunslet and Skircose 'Moors, and, in point of numbers, falling very far below them."—We have never had reason to question the veracity any more than the loysityol The Leeds Intelligencer, and therefore doubt not that the statement is correct. The Editor of Ths Yorkshire Gazette, a new Paper,which we have pre' vioutly noticed, and the principles of which render it worthy of public patronage, confirms this state' ment, justly observing, that " it is not the m erf name and shew of a Yorkshire Meeting, hot th. reality and substance of it, which carry weight importance in the eyes of the Country." The ful" lowing is the estimate of the number and charac' ter of the persona as given in The Yorkshire GO zette:-- " At least 2000 of them were lads under so years of agm• most of then, armed with club-sticks; the rest were nearly all of the humblest and hungriest classes, in dress and appeal ance. The Freeholders amongst them could nut amount to 500. The Meeting in the Castle-Yard, as far as we caojt l4 o from appearances, might be analysed as follows: , Total. Frceirvid ffiq t. The Radicals from the Manufac -5000 of these turing Districts ... 2. The mob of York, including Ra-} 2000 dicals 3. Farmers, &c. who had conic to attend the fortnight Fair th.) of these 404 4. Wiriness arid Children . 5. Persons nut approving the Meet ing, but who came out of cu -1000 of these s ° 4 iosity, and stood inthe back ground G. Ge , ntlrinets on the Hustings, and 500 of thew 50, in the Meeting . 14,000 of these ISO That this estimate is probable may be ideat e front the little influence which the really resingcr able part of the Meeting had over the multitod" since it was with the utmost difficulty that °. esteemed a character as Mr. WO4‘,LIST could ob' tain a hearing. NVe conceive that this fl irt ought to excite a seri ous reflection in the luinds t the higher patrons of the Meeting ; for what woo l,/ become of theinselves and their property, if 0 0° the Radicals could obtain an ascendancy in al ! Realm ? They would soon change stations, s" probably be trampled under foot for having n l4 dared to consider themselves as entitled to superi ci( rank and extensive propertn!!! of It is with much pleasure, (says the Editor ' The Dublin Evening Post), we find ourselves e a .„ ; abled to announce to the relatives and friends ° t the ofi;cers and men of the Ist rifle regiment as General D'EvEtteox's Le g i on , w h o sailed t .r° 66 Liverpool, and last from W a t e rf o rd, on hoary fi e Laforey, that most satisfactory accoun ts front vessel were yesterday received in this city. fr 0 01 The following i s an extract o f a l e tter Lieutenant STERN, dated off Barbadoes, Attb 22, by the finkHae, arrived at Cork : We have had a passage—all in good health and st i c l io t We have plenty of provisions of the best description, si th .
