TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. TAYLOR, the PROPRIETOR of TUE SUN NEWSPAPFR, being desirous of lessening the La hour and Solicitude attending thu Conduct of a Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources, whose Political Principles correspond with those which the Paper has always supported, and who would be inclined to co : operate in Manage ment as well as Literary Composition. He 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 experi ence may reasonably be supposed to attach some credit to his competency in the conduct of a Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these a whit and threatening tunes every Public Man should remain at his post, in order to contribute, to the utmost of his pbwer, towards the defence of our inestimable Constitution. Several In dividuals have offered to purchase the Paper; but as it was founded under the immediate sanc tion of the late Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems it his duty to consider it as a Political Legacy left by that Illustrious Statesman to los Country, to maintain and perpetuate those Principles which are most conducive to the security of the State and the happiness of the People.* Hence the Ad mirers of that enlightened Minister and true Pa triot may think that a Paper instituted by him, and for such important objects, should be offered to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher considerations than mere regard to pecuniary ad ♦antages, and animated by zeal for the general wel fare ; or at leas► to rose other whose interests may be essentially united with the interest of the Coon try. - 'l2o such Persons the Proprietor would most willingly dispose of the entire concern ; awl, however anxious he may he for repose, alter many year, of toil anti solicitude, he would readily act -as their Agent so long as his superintendance might be regoiretl. it cannot be necessary to dwell on t t e hign reputation whirl) THE JUN has so lung posses'ed, in consequence of the undeviating consistency of its Political Character, -and the uniform pi opriety of its general Conduct. To soppto t a Goverament acting on the system of Mr. PITT is the main principle by which the Paper has been doected, and only by a fira ad lierenee to that system 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 concurrence in the Measures of any Admini ,stration. 13ot while Tiril..SUN perseveres in the same direct course, it may reasonably expect the support of the present Government, on account of its Political Principles; and the reverence doe to the memory of its Illustrious Founder, since an indifference to the fate of such a Paper, oil. the part old PITT ADMINISTRATION, would be a sole 7 cisrn, as well as a' reproach, which it is not likely to incur. With not less confidence ►slay the Paper rely on the protection of the Pao- TaSTANT CHURCH, as it has so strennoosly st►p ported it that i' is supposed to be peculiarly patronized by Toa CLERGY ; among whom it certainly can boast of many. valuable Cot.= respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be well qualified, by abilities and knowledge, to in struct the 'Colinnonity at large, and, in these times, should consider that they have duties to fulfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they might very priiperly possess themselves of a Paper which would not only enable then to spi cad right principles iii 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 and the Government of the Coun try. The Proprietor may confidently expect the support of the PITT CLUBS throughout the British - Empire. considering to whom Toe SUN owes its origin, and from whom they derive their appeila - ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS of a BIRTH-DAY re of little use. and must fall ltito languor and decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse and support the Principles upon which those Associations are pi ofessedly established. THE SUN may also expect the support of the REGuLAr. SOLICITORs 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 irregular Practitioners and discreditable Intruders. Finally, THE SUN may look to the PrzorLE AT LARGE for patronage and encouragement on account of the steadiness ofits Principles, its Pobhe Spirit, and its reso lute emleavours, on all occasions, to promote the Honour and Interest of the Conntly. Such, then, is -the Opportunity which the Proprietor now offers to his Countrymen ; and as it presents A TEsT TO PUBLIC VLETuE, and to GENUINE PA TEIoTISNI, he should insult the National Cha racter it he were not to suppose that among 'the admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends of THE CON STITUTIoNt, many wise, independent, disinterested, fiLignanitnnus BRITONS will be found ready, at this awful crisis, to unite in order to become Pro prietors of a Paper which so obviously possesses peculiar and prominent claims to National Pro tection.—None but Principals need apply in Person, or by Letter, (post-paid) addressed to the PttoraiEToE at THE SUN-OFFICE, 112, Strand. N. B. This:address will be continued tiles' the opportunity which it presents has been fully sub mitted to the United Kingdom ; nor will the Proprietor hastily close with any offer, as lie can- not but conceive that, in reference to the revered Founder of the Paper, awl its established charac ter tor politicali corisisteney, the Proposal held ford► tends to ascertain the extent of Public Spirit. * The Proprietor has been desired, by a Gentleman of rank, who was in the confidence of Mr. Pm at the time, to state that THE SUN Newspaper was not instituted for the mere support of his own Administration, hut" for the PROTECTION of the KING'S GOVERNMENT." Such was the magnanimous oyalty of our great departed Statesman. Never was " the • Ki GOVERNMENT" more founidahly threatened than it is at present, and never was it more in need of loyal Adherents. Wi; hope that .'.holsters are fully impressed with this truth, otherwise the Throne and the Altar will at last be buried un- Aer the rubbish of Atheistical Anarchy FOR THE " THE TIMES" and his present Patron—HUNT. MR. EDITOR—To expose the insididus designs of a certain time-serving wretch who has taken so active a part in condemning the Manchester Magiorates, I extract from that Journal the language it gave to the world respecting the me morable Meeting at Spa-fields, on the 2d Dec. 1816. Let his readers compare what he says now with what he said then, and I can readily anticipate the contemptuous disgust with which they evil henceforward turn from him. Let the;ii also compare the Spa-fields Meeting, where, be it retnembered, th4e were only 10,000 persons collected, with the Manchester Meeting, where there were seven times that number—let them compare it I say—and apply it to the Manchester alf,iirs, and I need not hesitate to guess, if they be impartial men, what judgment they will pronounce. Times, Dec. 2, 1816.—" The precautions that have been taken are very proper; for there is no doubt, but that Hunt's vanity and wicked mess will prompt him to excite a riot if he can ; and he will be mightily disappointed, if he does not occasion the committing at least half a dozen of his adherents to Newgate. It would certainly he tar more equitable that he should himself be sent to the House of Cdrrection : and there is far more reason for treating him so, than many of the vagrants who are occasionally taken up at boxing matches, or other disorderly meetings.— If a poor ballad-singer, in the midst of his warbling, is laid hold of by a Peace officer, why should not Mr. Hunt's less melodious strains be cut short by the same authority ? He calls toge ther leis hearers by an infidunnatory hand-bdl, the true English of which is, last time you attacked the bakers' shops, now you must attack the Gentle men? houses. Are the 'Magistrates to look on patiently at this insult to law, order, and public peace ?" Times, Dec. 3, 1816.—" The offence evidently assumed the character of insurrection against the Laws and Government of the Country—wild and desperate as such a scheme must have been, yet a scheme the violets certainly bad. They marched under their own banners ;, they paraded through the streets; their forces were divided into se parate hands, setting the - Chief Magistrate of Ihe City, with all his Officers, at defiance. if what Hunt did yesterday was lawful, why he may do the same to-morrow and every day. He may disturb the peace of the City, put a stop to all trade and business, alarm every family for the lives of all that are dear to them, and keep the Metropolis in a state of terror, to which the days of Robespierre alone are comparable. Happily we possess a firm and vigilant Chief Magistrate.— We are hound to add our tribute of commenda tion to the activity displayed in the Home De partment." Times, Dec. 4, 1816.—" That there was a plot—that there was a combination of criminal views—that there was an ulterior object iii calling these Spa-fields Meetings, •it would now be only folly or insincerity to Etretend to doubt. As to the foreseeing what was to happen--have we forgotten Mi. Hunt's advice on the first day, to petition then, and if that failed, to resort to physical force. A question of great moment is, who caused the seditious flags to be wrought, and furnished the inflammatory inscriptions on them These flags, but too well adapted to he purposes of insurrection, were prepared beforehand, and unfurled at the fit moment, immediately attet an harangue, of which they seem to be the text. What seems most pro bable is, that the \‘ principal delinquents' meant to tread the verge of treason—that they ar ranged a plan which might divide the pat from the danger, keeping the former for themselves, and allotting the latter to their adherents ; this is generally the object of those who take the lead in treason. Au Evening Paper talks of the Home Departtnent baying made arrangements for re pressive measures. Now we have always thought prevention better than remedy. We have no idea that it is necessary to wait until a person is assas sinated before measures are taken to disperse a seditious assembly." Times, Dec. 5, 1816.--•-" If the rioters•had 83• sembled in four or five large handi night-fall, and marching under their assumed - banners, in different directions, had made their 'attack simul taneously in separate quartets of the town, shrouded in darkness, or rendered more terrific and more dangerous by their blazing torches, the repressive measures would probably have come too late to preserve the Metropolis from scenes of bloodshed, plundtr, and conflagration, which intaginationirernh;es even to contemplate as pos sible. And what is the apology for. not having resorted to preventive measures ? • Why, forsooth, that the people nui.a not he prevented from exer cising their right of rati:ioning !, assuredly they must nor. It is a- most sacred right ; and the more sacred it is, the more necessary is it for the true friends of our Coostitution to guard against its abuse, by traitots, whose object is not, peti tion, but riot and revolution. But are we to be duped, deluded, and laughed at by a set of in cendiaries, with the mere word Petition ? Is a plot of robbery and murder to be sugared over with this false and frivolous pretence; and are we wilfully to shut our eyes to the deception It is a poor argument to say that the Home Secretary dared not interfere to prevent the meeting, with- out incurring the calumny of the Journals. We only regret that he did not see his duty exactly in the same light which we do." Tinter, Dec. 6, 1316.—" On Hunt's legal guilt some cloud still rests ; but of his moral crimina lity, no person can entertain much doubt.—Un- fortunately for him, the commencement of his speech at the first Meeting, shows that he did not come thither by accident, or in ignorance of the l►ersons who convened and managed the assembly; but they sent for him ; they had influence enough with, him to bring him 100 miles hum the coon• try ; they bud preparettevery thing for his recep- tiun—the tri coloured flag, the cop of liberty, tfi THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS OICEKE FAISIIM AUDEAT ? LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, t 8.12. We received yesterday and this morning the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. The KING on Widnesday presided at a Council of Ministers. The report that the Council of State bad re fused to register the Bulls issued by the POPE, under the recent Convention with the Court of Rome, for putting in possession of their Sees the Prelates nominated by the KING, is erroneous : it appears by the Journals of Thursday, that after some discussion, the Bulls had been formally re gistered by the Council of State. The new Queen of SPAIN set out from Lyons on the 18th instant, to proceed on her journey to the Spanish frontier. From Strasburg, the 17th inst. it is stated, that a great number of Jewish families had arrived within a few days preceding at Haguenau and at %Veissemburg, with the intention of seeking safety and protection in France. From Frankfort it is mentioned, that the re sults of the deliberations at Carlsbad were about to be submitted to the Germanic Diet, and to be published. It is now said, with regard to the Press, that all previous Censorship is to be abo lished ; but that a General Tribunal is to be esta blished at Mayence, for the purpose of exercising jurisdiction over all the public Journals of the States of the Confederation. The Emperor of RUSSIA is expected to arrive at Warsaw to-morrow, to remain there till the 15th October, and then to return to Petersburgh. A paragraph somewhat mysteriously worded in a Frankfort letter, dated the 17th instant, says, " there arrives here but little news from Stye tku, and the communications appear' for some time to have become more difficult." Another article, still more mysterious, is given from • German Jourrial, as an extract of a letter from Po' ten, the sth instant, as follows I t is assert' ed, that a great Northern Sovereign is expected at Warsaw about the middle of this month, and the epoch is designated as that of the regeneration of a kingdom whose fate still inspires the deepest in. serest. There are expected at Warsaw, at the same time, several other personages of the highest rank." It is reported, on the authority of a traveller recently arrived from Martinique, that the Presi. dent BOYER, of Hayti, had manifested a desire to enter into a Treaty of Commerce with France. The following are extracts from the Journals of Friday:— " PARIS, SEPT. 24.—The King again visited yesterday the Duchess de Berry.

I We should deem ourselves wanting in pstrlefie spirit if we did not rejoice in having received the letter from Nottingham, which our Readers will find in TUB SUN of this day; not merely on ac' count of its complimentary language towards out 'Paper, but because it shews that a body of Gentle' men exist in that town who are animated by soya principles of loyalty and a zealous attach" meta to our unrivalled Constitution. We boll° that their sentiments will animate their towns' men in general, and that they will follo l / the admirable example of the City of Nora wick, and come forward with a DECLARATIO O equally expressive of a firm devotion to that system of Government, which has long render' ed us the freest and happiest on the face O the Globe which we doubt not will effectually triumph over the rebellious miscreants who novt assail it, and descend in undiminished purity to the last generation of our Countrymen. ARRIVAL OP THE REGENT.—Last night the PRINCE REGeNT, accompanied by General Sit BENJAMIN BLOOMFIRLIT, arrived at Carlton-house from Brighton, where his Royal Highness landed on Saturday evening. \Ve greatly fear that the veteran and glorious Hero, Prince BLUCHER, has ere this paid the lag debt of nature. The Foreign Journals represent his state as hopeless, and private letters announce the actual termination of his earthly career. is said to have died at his estate near Brealaw; but as the account is not official, we shall waif the next arrival before we offer any observation ° Ern an event so interesting to every admirer of in' vincible heroism, genuine honour, and incortur tible integrity.—(Moraing Paper.)

Was he their tool ?—(the tan dem-driving, bunter-keeping Country !Squire, the tool of these starving Mechanics !) Or was he their accomplice, their counsellor, their guide ? Alas ! poor wretches, they have been guided, or rather goaded, to their ruin, by the infamous, in flammatory, diabolical language of this man. If their first thoughts were blameless, he perverted them ; if guilty, he confirmed, and strengthened, and heartened them up in guilt.—Their blood be upon his head ! 'What was the great aim of his harangues ?

Times, Dec. 7,1816.—1 t is only when the different pints of tbis notable system do not go well together, and the physical force party set up for leaders themselves, that the explosion takes place prematurely, and opens our eyes, without involving us in total ruin." Now, Sir, all this is from the pure uncorrupted Times :—but it requires no comment—and I will not trespass further on your columns, than to add, that I am one who has to work for his liveli hOod, and a Reformist, though one whose life shall be hazarded, if required, to put down the diabo lical villainy, which is now but too rapidly gair.- ing ground for the eventual overthrow of our Con stitution. J. *** The Public ought to feel much indebted to the Author of the foregoing Letter for thus de tecting and exposing the gross and shameless in consistency of The Times, the success of which is disgraceful to them in point of taste as well as good sense and loyalty, as that Paper is really as dull as it is despicable. We do not see how it can justify itself under so glaring a detection ; but as its impudence and insolence are upon a par, it will probably make the hopeless attempt. THEATRICAL REGISTER.
