PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, FEB. 4.—Mr. Orator HUNT'S letter to the Duke of YORtt l4as - reached us here. He may (1 0 well enough to bawl about English abuses, because the most ignorant can always estimate the truth and value of his arguments, but this Cobler will go beyond his last ; he pretends to tell the Duke of Yottic that it is a fact well known to his Royal Highness, that the daring insults of the Military repeatedly offered to the peaceable Citi zens of Paris, at the public Theatres, were the principal immediate cause that produced the French Revolution. To use arguments to such an ignorant blockhead would be useless ; it is sof& dela to say that the assertion is totally false, and the tert» splendide mendax is t he only one we know of that exactly applies to its Author, letter is, however, curious enough. We thought ally Priest might have married Mr. HUNT, and a peaceable Citizen . , for there is not the least degree of consanguinity between them. The conclusion of his letter might lead us to hope a•reformation in this Reformer, if we were not previously sure that amendment in him is impossible. He pre rends to fear a similar Revolution to that of France ; he fears it who, as far as his humble powers extend, does his utmost to produce it ; • he who has always regarded the French Revolution (! s the most glorious event since the would negan. If Mr. HUNT would avoid such disagreeable scenes in toture, we would recommend him not to get into it wrong box, the one shilling gallery is best adapted to his murmurs. and sentiments, there he would be at home, and would not have to fear the interrupt ton, or annoyance of Gentlemen. Repot speaks of another change of Ministers' as. very probable. The conduct and plans of the Minister of Finance excite great discontent-, the - rise in the Funds being regarded like gleams of sunshine before a thunder storm. - The It is currently stated that his Nlajesty has- re fused to sanction several Projets of Laws sub mitted to him by the Ministers ) , who are. we hear, divided into two parties. This is the old system, these elements of discord are, we should think, not difficult to be reconciled, if each party will concede a little, without which another change appears to ns inevitable. M. MARCELLIK, one of the Authors of The Conservateur, has been mortally wounded in a duel; we understand that he died this morning ;- report says, lie sought it, and was the aggressor through out, but it is easy to blame the dead, who cannot answer the charges ; it is done, we apprehend, on. the principles that les absens one toujours tort. (PROM A PRIVATt LETTER.) CHAMBER. OF DEPUTIES, FEL B. Of 18 . ions addressed to the Chamber, the subjects of which were discussed this sitting, not one of them was in any degree interesting. After they were disposed of, M. ROY made a Report from the Commission charged to examine the projet of law relative to the sale of saltpetre and gunpowder. He presented numerous amend ments to the prciet, especially in the regulations respecting the privileges to be given to proprie tows of saltpetre establishments. The observa tions by which the Commission justified those amendments were in unison with sound constitu tional principles. M. Gaintat afterwards read the Report of the Commission of the fixation of the financial year. lie condoned by the adoption of the projet which establishes the financial era in the'commencement of the. month of July, and was zealous in avert ing the reproach of unconstitutionality which had been thrown upon that projet by the extremesides of the Chamber. The zeal entertained by the Ultras in favour of the Charter is so ardent, that tour of that party 'had registered their names to speak against the projet. Amongst those who have to-day 'inscribed to support it are, MM. Royer Colon'', Savoir Rollin, and Dnvergier D'Hauranne. The two former are Doctrinists. On Sunday died, at the Culiege, in this town, universally beloved and esteemed. THOMAS PPM BRILTOSI. Esq. in the 84th year of his age. He went into the army at the age of 22, and served successively as Ensign, Lieutenant, and Captain, in the 75th—Crawfores Volunteers—the 234, or Welsh Fnuileers, and Ihr 50th Re..2inients of Foot. From the latter he retired about 1779, and served in this his native country, where his cheerful disposition and convivial manners, made his com pany greatly sought after. When going first to join his regiment at Gibraltar in 1758,heing aboard the Prince George, of 90 guns, Admiral Bro derick, whilst in the Bay of Biscay the ship took fire. Mien its destruction was found inevit able, the barge was ordered to be manned, into which the Admiral entered with about 40 more ; bot finding it would overset, stripped and commit ted himself to the waves, and after toiling an hour, was taken tip by a merchantman's boat. The long boat also was got ready, into which Mr. P. with about forty•five others, ventured; but site went down, and all that were on board perished, except Mr. P. and onelor two others. Mr. P. hid the presence of mind to swim wide of the throng, and observing the Alderney sloop of war het ween two and three miles distant, he en deavoured to make for that ship. When nearly exhausted, he arrived close to her ; some of the crew threw out a noosed rope, which Mr. P. in his hurry to get it under his arms, or the sailors in their haste to draw him up, got round his neck, and, pulling hint up in that situation, he was nearly strangled when brought on deck 'Dins, in the short space of about an hour. this Gentleman escaped being burnt, shot, drowned, and strangled. Of 745 of the ship's complement, (including 30 passengers going to Gibraltar) 260 only were saved. About tt - years ago Mr. Pem berton's eyesight began to tail him, and total blitulnes ensued. This afflicting visitation he bore with title Christian forti,ode, and maintain ed his equanimity and cheerfulness to the latest period of t is life.--(Shrew fury Chron. Feb, 12.) POETRY. PETER PINDAR'S ANNITITT,- AN IMITATION. , By JOHN TAYILoR, Esq. " I sought for FORTUNE'S smiles,.said PETER PI NDA R, When wanting fire, and scarcely worth a cinder, In Europe, Africa, and Western Ind; My Muse accompany'd me all the way, And willing brought forth many a pleasant lay, But, alt ! DaLe Fortune I could never find. " At length one morning 'twits my fate to go To a fani'd shop in Paternoster-row— I saw the Goddess eye a Book with glee, Vent . ring to peep at what the Dame was reading, No proof, I most acknowled;e, of good-breeding, I found with rapture she was reading ME. " Still more to prop my vanity and pride, I saw she could not lay the 13001 i aside; ' Feasting deligh►ed on each page, nu doubt, She read and laugh'd, and laugl►'d and read, again, %Funning, amidst, at my prolific vein, Nor clued the Volume 'till she saw it out. " Turning ter giggling visage then around, The modest Bard she in a corner found, For I was always denied a bashful Wight; Ah ! hall, thought I, l'is here in lucky time, She'll tell Inc TRADE I'm sportive and sublime!, And bid thrill buy at once my Copy right. " So it, fell out—TOE TRADE with transport glow, And strait the WALEEIti, RoeINsONS and Co.— Agreed to make the purchase firm and clear; Theygave, for what the Bard so sweetly sings In praise of NliNtsrEas, and QuEENcand KtNos, Two hundred , —aye—and fifty pounds a•year. " But this provision first they wisely made, For none can doubt the prudence of THE TRADE, Viz. that all future offspring of my Muse Should' not be left to me to guide their fate, And•rear by parent pars , to_ Nlanls-estate„. But left'to them to cherish or, refuse:. " 'Twas granted, for I knew my tuneful brat's, Like Kittens.trnated,to-maternalTats, Foster'd by'Booksellers would best succeed s Besides, I li,nesrmy Muse, a thriving Dame, Would fan with fondness my poetic flame, And; when rpleald, Parnassian bantlingrbreed. " PORTO NE then told them they had wisely done, Such treasures to secure of wit and fun, With praise I'm much too dielicate to mention : O'er-loy s ct they gave, tic!) boon !, and Fame shall noise it, IttyWorks, to charm the Goddess in her closet,. And thus'l tell the story of my Pintion.". *** The latebr. WoLcoir, a few dhys before his death, re lated. to the Author of the foregoing lines the origin of his' connexion with. the Boolistliers, in. the following Planner :-- "I wasvoor, and hunted in rain fur Fortune, in Europe, Africa,. and' the West Indies, but at last found her at a shop in Pa ternoster-row, laughing over soy works, and advising the Bookselleri to buy the c.ipy-right ;". and this whimsical state ment has since suggested the present Imitation.

The piece was evidently wtitten for the purpose of making LISTON the primum He sustained his part with his usual humour, and, by the.assistance of ABBOTT, BLANCHAND., Mrs. DAVENPoRT, and Miss BEAUMONT, the farce passed muster very well, and is likely to, pro long its success. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDlToR,—'Though I have no wish to in terfere in disputes, except it be for the pleasure of effecting a•compromise,•l must beg leave to ob serve (through the medium of your very valuable Paper), that " JUsTUs .. has not treated " the worthy Clerk of the Peace at Peterborough" with the candour which is due. The letter of the former Gentleman of Saturday last was, I think, highly injudicious, and calculated to pro duce a very unfair, and et-en mischievous impres sion. It was also inaccurate in a legal view.— Had the writer consulted any professional friend, it would never, I-may venture to assert, have seen the, light of " THE SUN." Did he consider the inference arising from his statement and rea sonings ? That justice is no where mercifully ministered but in the City of London, and in the Comity of Middlesex I—Did he intend to include the twelve Judges, the Chief Justices of Chester, and of the Gieat Sessions in Wales, in this sweep ing clause ? For, let me ask, where is the crimi nal convicted before any one of those venerable Personages, whose case is reported to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent in Council ? May not then the relatives of every unhappy culprit left for execution at any Assize Town in the king dom complain of severity and injustice with as much reason as the Gypsies of Peterborough could have done, had they`been left to their just and merited punishment ? The voice of the penitent criminal, we know, always speaki in accents sufficiently audible to reach the Royal ear ; and when mercy can be reasonably and consistently extended, it is never withheld. But the Judges of Assize are in full possession of the exercise of this sublime prero gative; and they are most ready, as the event of every Circuit shows, to avail themselves of it. Why then should they be thus calumniated ? and why should the City of London and the County of Middlesex be 'marked out as privileged places, where crimes may be perpetrated with comport*. Jive impunity ? The inhabitants of those place! :are not much obliged to " losTus" for this dis covery. Let me further observe, Sir, that this Gentleman's strictutes are inaccurate and irrele vant in a legal view. He has overlooked the very words of the Commission of Peace, which cut powers County Magistrates (and Magistrates by Charter are frequently by the provisions of their Charter.invested with the same authority) " to hear and determine all and all manner of felonies, poiSonings, &c.;"' and the Clergy ate by no means excepted as improper or incompetent per. sons to preside at such inquiries. He also in forms us, that though the Reverent! Chairman at Peterborough did not shrink from the determina tion of so important a case, " his Diocesan would have retired from the judgment seat, were a case of blood brought betore it." But in order to retire from it, his Lordship, it is obvious, must first have seated himself upon it,—and where is the instance, will " JUSTUS point out," of a Bishop presiding in a Climinal Court ? The fact seen►s to be, that " JUSTUS" may have read the reports of State Trials, and learned from them, that in a case in which the life of the ar. raigned person is in question, Bishopsdo not vote. But he should have considered, that in such a case the House of Peers collectively are the Jury, and that the Lord Chancellor or Lord Keeper atone discharges the functions of the Judge. " JUSTUS'. farther •remarks, that " a Clergyman ought not to sit upon trials of life and death." I agree with him—and where will he fishd the instance ? The Jury alone determine the awful point, and often, we find, in direct opposition to the summing up Of the Judge. Hoping then, Mr. Editor, that the dispute bet ween the worthy Gentlemen in question will now subsidy, I remain your bumble servant, AMICUS. Feb. 10, 1819. MUSIC —The Musical World enjoyed a high treat on-Wednesday last, at the commencement of the Subscription Concerts at the London Tavern. By the excellent and judicious arrangements of the Committee, the whole performance went otr with the greatest eclat, and we have seldom wit nessed a more brilliant audience, or one who seemed more highly gratified. Among the plin. cipal attractions we cannot omit to notice tha Grand Fantasia of BEHTHOVEN, for the piano forte, with accompaniments for the whole orches tra and a full chorus, in which Miss Putercer made her first appearance in London, and was received with the most unqualified approbation. This young I.stly is a daughter of a celebrated musician in Bath, land we believe a pupil of Cf..e. BUNT!. Her performance on Wednesday even ing did more titan answer the high expectations that were tor►r►erl, and we feel little hesitation in pronouncing her the finest female piano forte player in this country. The wild, though sub lin►e, extravagance of Ber,movEN's Fhwasim, could have been subdued only by the precision and brilliancy of her execution, and the soft rays of . beauty which occasionally seemed to burst forth like tl►e moon front amid the cloud.--could only have beets felt and rendered etrectke by the peculiar taste anti expression with which they were introduced. Upon the whole, we cannot entertain a doubt, that when the natural and not unpleasing timidity which was of course apparent on her first entree into public life shall gradually subside, hiss PnILPoT will stand unrivalled in her profession.—Moat's arcornpaniu►cnt to Sweet Bird was calculated not less to delight than to astonish. This favourite pupil of VIoTTi is ad. ted on all hands to be quite unequalled for taste, expression, and brilliancy of execution, and is cer tainly one of the first leaders in the country. Miss .7)TEPHENS, BeGKEZ, AMBrtoGETTI, and BRAHANI a were among the list of vocal pertormets, front the specimen of last Wednesday, the An►e tetrrs of Music are certainly led to expect a set irst 1 uf the richest entertainments,
