FOR THE SUN: HR. EDITOR—As no Englishman who wishes 10 1' the welfare of his Country can reflect with in hfierence oo the spirit of the present times, and events which are daily passing before e Yest many of them pregnant with mischief, I wish t ° offer a few passing thoughts, which may cm tuPy a place in your highly respectable Paper, Mould they appear to you worthy of inser- lion . I am one of those Englishmen who feel sincerely anxiou s for the preservation of all those Rights, Intl Liberties, and Privileges, which Englishmen have long enjoyed, and which, I trust, will con tinue to be enjoyed, not only by the present ge beration, but by generations yet unhorn.—lm- PAessed with a hope like this, can I view with in difference the mischievous machinations of wicked Ind designing men, whose measures seem to me Well calculated to destroy the Rights, and Liberties, Sn d Privileges of Englishmen, and to substitute in their roost all the indescribable evils which follow t the train of unbridled licentiousness.—l am one those Englishmen who consider all the Public Meetings which have been assembled in different / 4411 s of the Kingdom, for the purpose of passing 1 C enStlre upon the Magistrates of Manchester, as Pregatant with mischief, because the highest rank "ti the greatest respectability of station have be en prostituted at these Meetings, to the encou ragement of those mischievous disturbers of the 1 , 13111 )11c peace, who, under the specious ma s k o f Re form, are actively contriving the machinery li ch, if its movements are not frustrated, will effe ct a Revolution. Havin g formed this opinion of the Meetings *hie!) have laken the liberty of pronouncing a de 741ed judgment on a case of the greatest national Im portan ce , upon very insufficient evidence, I 7 44 41 Rot witness the proceedings at a late Meet the County of Norfolk, without feelings of 11 1:' concern—So truly anxious do I feel for the Z'elfare of the Country at large, and so particu- II Y am I interested in the welfare of the County °F Norfolk. Being well acquainted with the characters of a "'ite portion of the Requisitionists for the Nor lOIk Alevin., I feel persuaded that there is not ttl e Radical Reformer amongst them. But let E tnt 64 k, how i s it th a t su ch m en as th ose at th e of the Requisition, who are doubtless men 131 s ense, of reflection, and penetration, how is it t h a t /Inch men c an b e so bli n d t o th e machine p"s of the Radical Reformers, as to lend them h 4ll h 'lPin g hand, which they certainly have done, i 'l• direetty encouraging their tumultuous Meet :43) when passing Resolutions of premature cen thlite ° l l the proceedings at Manchester, proceed which, however they may he lamented, are in )t es3 tlrte of investigation, and will, in dne time, ett with condemnation or acquittal before a `44Petent Tribunal. „ f t ''artitot but observ e , i n lo o ki ng over t h e li st in Nrortolk Requisitionists for a County Meet tl4) t hat a l a r ge p ro p ort i on o f t h em are e i t h er 'e enants or the obsegious Adherents of a few tlsPicuotts Leaders.

LONDON JoURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (Morning Post,) THE PRINCRSS OF WALES, erC.—Colonel St. Leger, her Chamberlain, has received a letter, dated Lyons, from her Rnv.►l Highness, desiring the necessary preparations to be made for her re ception in Kensington Palace. She names the eat ly part of December as the probable period of her arrival, Air. Hem y 12;oughtini, the Princess's legal adviser, is said to have also received a com munication from the same quarter; and that Gentleman, it is added. has already set off for Lyons,' oia Paris.—Report says that Colonel St. Leger has written to t he Pr; scess of %Vales, ten dering the resignation of his official situation, on the plea of ill health. [Morning Chronicle.] Advices from Madrid by last post distinctly stare that a new arrangement had taken place ‘vitl4 regard to the departure of the American Mi- nister. Captain Reade, of the United States sloop Hornet, and who had just arrived at the Spanish capital, left Madrid on the 12th ult. as it is supposed, with the Official Report of the state of the Florida business up to that time. Not withstanding every hope of accommodation with the Spanish Court, respecting the differences pending between the latter and the ‘Vashington Cabinet had ceased, Mr. Forsyth was to remain at his station until the r:-ceipt of fresh orders sub sequent to the Mecring of Congress, to whom the whole wasto be submitted the moment the Hornet should arrive out. [The Ttmes.) Our Paris letter repeats the confidence enter tained by its author, that the present Ministry will undergo some change. The list of new Mi nisters which Wils suggested in a former letter, has not hitherto been confirmed by any public autho rity. The belief is, nevertheless, not confined to a few, Ow a certain number of Peers and Com moners will immediately become Members of the Administration. A Gentleman who arrived in town from Glas gow, and who was present at the Meeting on Monday last, says, the confusion at the falling of the platform ou which the orators stood was very great, and the shrieks of such numbers of people were dreadful ; they all endeavoured to get to one spot ; many were thrown down and severely hurt. Mr. M`TABH, of Calton, had three ribs broken by being thrown down and trampled upon. OLD BAILEY...--Tbe Sessions were on Saturday brought to a conclusion, when the following pr 1- soners received judgment of Death:—John Booth, the Clerk at the General Post-Office, fur secret. ing letters containing Bank-notes ; Anne Smith, for privately stealing in a shop ; Emma Davis, for robbing on the highway ; Ann Pearson, for stealing in a dwelling-house ; John Church, for housebreaking ; John Markham, for a crime not to lye minted ; James Stubbs, for forging Batik of England notes ; Thomas M‘Dermot, for a si milar offence; T. Wildish, for a forgery on the Dover Batik ; and John Martin, for housebreak ing. A great number were sentenced to transport ation ; and the Sessions were then adjournvd to Monday, Dcc. 2. FOR THB SUN: MR. EDITOR—Mr. WATSON has not thought proper to notice the statement which I made in your Paper, of his proffer of selling hi; silence. If he thinks, by shirking the charge, to prevent its publicity, he is grievously mis:aken. In common cases, such forbearance would be a sufficient con fession but I have no points of honour to settle with a Radical : toy object is, not to make Mr. WArson acknowledge my assertion, but to ex pose him to the multitude as a needy speculator, who calculated on making his own market of their credulous folly. As often as he puts himself forward, se often will I reiterate this charge; until the Radicals themselves have extinguished him. When they next meet him, I hope they will put him to the question; in the mean time, any of those persons may learn my name at your Office. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, Nor. 6. TRyt THEATRE.—As the dramatic talents of the day do not produce any striking novelties, the Managers very properly revive those pieces which afforded amusement to our ancestors ; and on this principle the old Comedy of Love makes a Man, or The Fep's Fortune, was brought forward on Sa turday last at Covent Garden Theatre. The part of Carlos was assumed by Mr. C. KEMBLE, who with great judgment and effect displayed the stn. (lions gravity of the Scholdr in the earlier scenes, and the animation of the Lover in the others. The part is not very Conspicuous in itself, and depends in a great degree on the talents of the performer, which en this occasion were exerted with such, success as most have satisfied the author, if be could have attended the representation. JuNes was not less successful in .C/odio, which he sup ported with that indefatigable gaiety which marks all his performances. FAnitax was admirably hu morous in Don Lcwis, but lie certainly gave it too much loaded with years for the spirit and activity which the part requires: Angelina, El vira, and Louisa, were assigned to Miss FooTts, Miss BRUNTON, and Mrs. FAUCIT, and the me rits of their respective performances proved the propriety of the allotment. We conceive that the Morning Critics have been too severe in their treatment of the play itself. CoLLEv CIBBER was a sound judge of theatrical effect, and was well acquainted with human life : he was unjustly treated by the contemporat y wits, but if they had directed their attacks against the freedom of his lite, instead of attempting to brand him with dul ness, they would less have deserved censure them selvos, tur,he was really a man possessed of con siderable talents, as well as of knowledge and experience. He wrote to the taste of the times in which he lived ; and if he lived now in the vi gour of his powers, there are few that could pre sume to contend with him, as he doubtless would have adapted his productions to the taste of the present day, if he were not indeed rather likely to improve it. The reconciliation between Mr. 1 - 1. Timms and Mr. C. KENIBLE, brought about by the kind inter mediation of the Marquess of WoEcusTett, has not beon quite correctly stated. We understand I hat llr , thEEts considered some words of Mr. KENIBLR, spoken it) the Green-room, the uiAlit before the open rupture, though not ahldresse:l to him, as intended for his ear, The substance of the words was—that the profession of an Actor was become a had one, and he lamented that he belonged to it—or words to that effect. This Mr. HARRIS interpreted as meaning that the profes• shut was rendered disagreeable or bad, owing to his management ; and, wider this impression, be was irikatcd .n the warm language which ended in the outrage of which the public has heard, but which, upon reflection, he lamewed. In a con versation , T it?) Lord WORCRSTER he expressed his anxiety For a reconciliation, and wished his Lord ship to hr a mediator between them. To this the Noble Lord wilts some reluctance consented, and he,;prevailed on Mr. K FOIBLE to leave the matter also to him. Accordingly the parties met' in Mr. FA WCHT'S WOW at the Theatre (not in the Green room), and 'bete Mr. HARRIS made Mr. KEN:BLit a warns and full apology, after which Mr. KEN - BLE declared that the words spoken by him, rela tive to the profession, were not intended by him as an insult, either to Mr. HARRIS or his brother actors. The latter did not' consider it as such, 811 C as Mr. HARRIS had so interpreted them, lie was sorry that he had used theirs. Thus the mat ter was settled, and the kind conduct of Lord WORCESTER on the occasion lots been highly praised by all.—(Morning Chronicle.) Saturday his Royal Highness the PRINCE RE GENT, accompanied by Sir BENJAMIN BLOOM FIEI.D, arrived at Carlton-house, at Ore o'clock, hum the Marquess of HERTFORD'S seat, at Slid 4tirtr, in Suffolk. Yesterday his Royal Highness Prince Lao poLD, acconipalied by Colontl AIMP.NI3:IOIOE dl)ii Dr. STocKmatt, left town for Claremont. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duke of YORK and Prince LEoPnLD visited the PRINCE REGONT at Catlion•hunse. Coati-ExcnANort, Nov. B.—The supply of Wheat was rather large this morning from Essex and Kent, but there were no arrivals from the Suffolk coast, owing to adverse winds. SMITHFIELD MARKET, Nor. B.—The Market was abundautly supplied this morning with all kind of good Cattle, iu consequence of the full ness of the Market, the prices were lower thin our last quotation.

THE DUKE OF CLAIIENCE. DovEE, Nov. 7 —oo Ft may his 1:•Iyal ness the Doke of CeaateNoe was ote, • :e0 th e Freedom of Do,er. Ills Hovel Iligtoo.ss, ac companied by the Duchess and a ioreign L dv, at rived at the Guildhall about four, and %reie re ceived at their carriage by tilt: too janior .rats, and conducted to the Magistrroes' li nch. oa the right hand of the Mayor, when the Recorder, Wu. KaNatoK, Esq. haviug I(ltiressed his Royal II 1,. ness, and asked it it was his pleasure to receive the Freedom, the Town Clerk proceeded to all. !Dinkier :he customary Oaths, the whole Cor poration being assembled in their gowns anti standing, whilst their Royal Highnesses remained with them. After the ceremony his Royal High ness was pleased to express his acknowledgements to the Corporation in the most handsome terms. Their Royal Higlonessesyemained in the hall con versing in the most a freebie and courteous manner for more than half an hour, and on returning to the carriage a considerable otimber of the in habitants had assembled, who gave them three times three spontaneous end most hearty cheers. His Royal Highness afterwards partook of a most hospi..ahlo and sompttrous tottertainment provided by the MAYOR, at the Ship inn, at which were as sembled the Recorder and near:y the whole of the Corporation, with the Clergymen and prin cipal persons of the town ; Fotto, of the Royal Engineers ; Adaiiral liazEr.Y, Hi other Naval arid Military Characters. The antler eas served in Il'atotrr's best style, tool consisted of every thing that was good 'lhe Recorder, with his accustomed liberality, had furnished from BIRCH'S, in Cornhill, an ample supply of turtle, which was most excellent. After the healths of our venerable Monarch, the . PRINCE REGENT, and the Royal Family, the health of the Duke of CLAXENCE was proposed by the Mayor, THOMAS MANTELL, Esq. and drank with great enthusiasm, accompanied with three times three ntost hearty cheers. The Doke returned thanks in warn) and animated terms, and, at some length, expressing his great satisfaction at being received with so much Kindness and hospitality, at the first place he had resided in after his return from the Continent, thew a forcible picture of the state of this coun try, with respect to comforts, education, and other advantages, contrasted with foreign countries, and ended with expressing his strong wishes for the prosperity of Dover. His Royal Highness's Address, of which this conveys a very faint idea, was given in that natural and unstudied manner, as to impress on the company that it proceeded from the heart. The MAYOR returned thanks in appro priate terms, and proposed the Health of the Duchess of CLARENCE, which was drank with great fervour. The memory of Mr. PITT was thank with much teeliug, as there were few places where personally he was so well known all at Dover. Many loyal and constitutional roasts (01- lowed. Mr. SuIPDEN, the Town Clerk, as De ploy Chairman, after a short eologium on the Learned Judge, and alluding to a late trial, and the eminent qualities displayed by him on that occasion, which, lie observed, while they com manded the admiration of all good men, had oot raised the slightest breath of dissatisfaction or ca• lumny even from the bad part of thecommunity,--• proposed the Health of a Man of Kent, " the Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT," which was drank with great applause. The Royal Doke continued to enliven the circle about hi n) by his courteous and cheerful conversation, until ten o'clock. At intervels the company were etrertained t y some excellent songs, medleys, and glees ; and it was not possible for a day to have passed with greater harmony and festivity. The Royal Visitors leave ,Dover Castle to-morrow, and it is no flattery to add, that they will carry with them the regrets of the inhabitants. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK arrived in town, et two o'cluck, from ‘Vindsor. As Commercial Dktress is acknowledged to be the cause why the populat :Nleetines are so mt merously attended, and that the want of Employ ment and not Politics is the real cause of discon tent, the European Markets being nearly shut against our Manufactures, we would recant. mend to the consideration of the Great Manutac. turers the probable means of finding out new channels for our Manufactures, and the securing, extending, and protecting of our Commerce, re commended in a late Pamphlet on the Practical Abolition niche Slave Trade and extension of Bri tish Commerce, as it tends more effectually than the sword to tranquillize the Country, and once more to give to honest industry a comfortable independence.
