FOR THE SUN. Ma. poi T 011—Yort, who know my deep af fectionate veneration for THE KING, will not per mit me to be accused of one unkind or indecorous feeling in the discussion which I now offer to the public eye. Neither will any precipitate interpo sition be imputed to me, when the great age of our honoured Sovereign is considered :—the more especially, as after that event, which is at all times possible, and at this time something more than possible, shall have °coined, there will be no op patunity for the discussion. My suggestion is—that Britain shall be re erected AN Emmte, and that her Sovereign shall resume the Imperial style and dignity- R,:-erected, 1 say—and resume—because I pro• pose not any novelty. Oqr most early Sovereigns were Emperors. EDGAn, who reigned in the tenth centuty, thus desetibed himselt :—" An- gloruni busileus oniniunique regum insularunt " Ocraniqur Britanniom ciietimjacentis, crinclarum " que nationunt quce infra earn includuntur, 1M " I'ERATOR et dontimus." ETHELRED also styled himself " Anglorum Induperator." WILLIAM the Conqueror dated his Charter to the Monastery of SHAFTE , BURY, " A. D, 10S9, secundo anno • mei i»iperii." The Parliament of 11EN v VIII. de clared that " this Realm of England is an Ens " Aire, and so bads beets accepted in the world, " - governed by one Supreme Head and King, having the dignity and royal estate of the lin " perial Crown of the same." So also did the Parliament of ELIZABETH.—(Vide 24, 11. S. c. 12—'25, 11. 8. c. 21.-1 Eliz. c. 1.-1 Jac. 1. c. 1 ) It were needless to multiply proofs of the ancient Imperial style of England. All our elder Historians and Lawyers concur in the fact. No design, therefore, will be ascribed to me, of creat ing a novel title or unaccustomed rank fur the Country or for the Sovereign. I am perfectly aware—and I wish it indeed to be ol,erved—that the Imperial Title is not essen tially above the Regal. As it can give to the Sovereign no additional rank, so it will confer on him no additional power. Neither fear, there fore, nor outcry, need be raised against it abroad or at home. It is pettedly constitutional, and will affect neither Charters nor Settlements. A sort of custom, however, has attached to it an emi nence, which has become somewhat snore than nominal ; and I wish to see Great Britain, not only in fact but in name, placed in her ancient and rightful equality with every other Empire. Whoso looks at the power of Britain, her in fluence, her glory, her splendour, and her cha racter, will allow that she is at least as well en ti:lea NOW to the Imperial style as she was a thousand years ago. On this question there needs 110 enlargement. Let Britain then be called, as she is, en Em pire. And, having regard to the ancient title which her ancient Emperor, EDGAR, bore—OM• NIUM INSULARUM REGUM IMPERATOR—Iet her Sovereign resume that illustrious Distinction, and declare himself, by the concurrent authority of the Constitution— 4, EMPEROR OF THE ISLES." I shill be glad to discuss this question farther TEN. X. DIALOGUE BETwEIEN A COUNTRY ELECTOR AND A RADICAL REFORMER FROM LON DON. RUSTIc—So I hear you Londoners are going to Reform yourselves, it is high time; I have al ways heard a bad account of London Folks. LoNDoNEß—Reforrn ourselves ! No, no, we are not such tools as that ; we wean to Reform our superiors in the Suite. RUSTIC—Reform your superiors ! what, that is turning the world upside down. LoNDONER—You are devilish dull ; we tnean by Reforming our superiors, to pillage them of all their property, so that they cannot go on in their old was. You understand ? RusTic —Very we,ll, this is a Radical Reform 'Weed, with a LONDONER—To be sure it is, and, I hope, with many witnesses too. itusrtc—Wpy, you would pillage those Cemmen that are..so fond of ►►s at Elections, and give us so much money, ►Thy there will be end of all that. LotsnoNca-L-What care I ? I am no Voter, and if there is a general pillage I must be better for it some how, and I have nothing to lose. RUSTIC—But 1 have, I keeps a good shop in the country, and with now and then an Election in our Town, 1 contrives to live very touch like a Gentleman. LONDONIM—What do you talk of Gentlemen and Property, we mean to level all ranks, and take all the property to ourselves. Rumc—The Devil you do !—What a strange thing a Londoner is—(Aside.)—Zounds, the fel low must be an Highwayman by Trade, and a Butcher by profession ; for no man will be le velled or plundered without a good fight for his country and himself, against such devilish roguery and nonsense. ,[The LONDONER sneaks off to his.uight-cellar during this soliloquy of the RUSTIC, who pur sues with three cheers, and " God save the King"! ! LONDON JuIIINALS. FROM THE MORNING ['AKERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronicle.] We yesterday received letters from Cadiz to the 2d inst., which mention that the San Antonio had at rived there on the 31st Oct. in 113 days, from Callao, which place she left on 10th Jnly. Her cargo consists of cocoa, cotton, cascarilla, and 240,620 dollars in specie. The following is a translation of a mercantile letter-brought by her, of course written by a Royalist : " LIMA, JULY 7.—Our Government being compelled to keep up a respectable armed force in the neighbourhood of thin capital, has expe rienced great difficulties in providing the neces sary resources to sustain them. The Insurgent privateers still cot off all national navigation in these seas, by which means we are deprived of our maritime imports, the principal source from which fonds were usually supplied. In this state of things, the Viceroy thought of opening the port ut •El Callao for the entry of foreign vessels, tin der certain restrictions ; but the body of mer chants strongly opposed this measure, and offered to advance to the Government the money wanted for the exigencies of the State. The merchants have therefore made considerable advances ; but they now begin to hold back, and some of them have refused to pay in the monthly SIIMS allotted to them, at the same time that as our forces in crease, the expellees do the same, and our cir cumstances do not improve ; for which reason, it is generally believed that the port of Callao will, er, long, be opened to foreign trade. If so, speculations of great interest may be undertaken . in Europe, because not only the whole of .the Viceroyalty of Lima is supported from this place, but also the Provinces of Potosi, Cochabamba, La. Paz, Oruro, and the whole of that countly as far as Jujuy, which is in possession of the Royalist troops, nor do they entertain any dread of the Insurgents molesting them in their positions." [7 . /ae By the San Antonio, arrived at Cadiz (torn Lima, advices to the 1 lth of July have been re ceived from the latter place. Lord Cochrane's return to Valparaiso had raised the hopes of the merchants of Lima, whose vessels had been for near three months shut tits by his blockade in the harbour of Callao, to the great injury of their commerce. It had been published there from authority, that Lord Cochrane bad been com pelled by the bad condition of his ships to abandon his blockade, and that his crews had suffered ma terially from sickness. An expedition against Chili vas said to he in contemplation, and would be carried into effect on the arrival of the ships of war expected from Cadiz. In the mean time a small squadron of six vessels had been equipped, and sailed from Callao, to protect their commerce against the privateers in the Pacific Ocean. But little light is thrown on the expected Opening of the trade with Lima, an object of well known importance to British merchants, as the letters that mention the subject are contradictory in their stre;ements. The probability seems to be, that so long as the merchants of Lima can fur nish fends to enable the Viceroy to defray the ex pence% of his Government, it► which he can le eeive very little assistance from the mother coun try, the exclusive privileges will be continued. — They have hitherto made great sacrifices for this purpose • but should the blockade be resumed, their means must 50011 be exhausted. in that event, the port will probably be declared free to British vessels, as the only measure which can re cruit the Treasury. FEVER IN SPAIN.-The epidemic, which laid waste the province of Andalusia, is no longer formidable, and a few more posts will probably bring accounts of its complete disappearance, The letters from Cadiz, received yesterday, are dated the 2d inst. ;. they state the number of sick at 3,700, and the daily return of deaths at GI: on the 30th of October, and at 55, 45, 46, on the three succeeding days, showing a regular dimi- notion. The cases had become so much more mild than in the early stages of the malady, that of a family in Cadiz, consisting of 20 persons, who all received it, not one died.—(ltid.) [New Times] " BtamINGHAM, Sunday Afternoon.—The inha bitants of this town were this morning much sur prised by. an assemblage of several thousand per sons at the time Divine service commenced in the different Churches. I immediately went to ascer tain the cause, and learnt that those Radicals who are Members of the Union Society here were go• ing in procession to the Free Church. 1 watched them there—they occupied nearly the whole body of the Free Church, and a great part of the galle ries. The greater portion of the congregation attending this Church consists of the lower classes, and it has long been a subject of real gratification to witness the numbers who attend, and their exempkry conduct. But the impinlent and daring intrusion of these revolutionary mis creants utterly prevented the usual attendance of the prisons I have mentioned. The leader and chief of this Society, a man of the Demerit Ragg, is at this moment in lVarwick Gaol, for publishing the blasphemous and seditious productions of Catlile, who is held up by this very Society as a martyr to the cause of Reform. What, there• fore, is to be understood by these pet sons at , tending religious worship ? What but that, un der tire mask of possessing Christian princi pies, they may still further delude their wretch ed followers, and endeavour to convince tilos° who may doubt that their professions are se rious, and their motives pure ? Such an oc currence as that which has taken place must surely excite alarm ; for if the houses of - 01 Ir God are to be thus polluted, if those persons who have been long in the habit of worshipping spin the Sabbath are to be shot out from their Churches by men who scoff at religion, and blas pheme.every thing which has been held sacred, then indeed our religion and our laws will be in imminent danger of total destruction. As a loyal subject, and a firm supporter of the Constitution of our Country, 1 have deemed it proper to send you this statement, considering that no pains ought to be spared to expose the views of the Ra dical Reformers.—P. S. It is rumoured that the whole of the Society, consisting of 2000 persons and upwards, will attend next Sunday.'7 THEATRICAL REGISTER. Performed Last :Vigil t.

This day the PRINCE RacENT went in State, in the accustomed form, to the House of Lords. His. Royal Highness being seated on the Throne, the Usher of the Black Rod was sent to command the attendance of the House of Commons. The SPEAKER and a great number of Members of the House of Commons shortly afterwards came to the Bar, when his Royal Highness delivered a Speech, of which the following is the substance : His Royal Highness begin 3 %l it') expressing he general concern at the continuance of lli3 ;MAJESTY'S lamented Indisposition. Regrets the necessity of calling Parliament to- gether so early,which measure has been occasioned sby the Seditious Practices in the Manufacturing Di- tricts having continued with encreased activity since the Prorogation ; they have led to Pro- ceedings incompatible with the National Pros perity and the Industrious Habits of the Cont. munity; and a Spirit is now manifested contrary to the Constitution, aiming at the Change. of the Political Institutions, hitherto the Pride and Security of the Country, and of the subversion of the Rights of Property, and of Order in Society. Directions have been given for laying before Parliament the necessary Information on Ibis sub- ject ; and the PRINCE REGENT presses on its immediate AttentiGn the Consideration of Measures for suppressing a System, which, if not checked, must bring Confusion and Ruin on the Kingdom. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, Estimates will be laid before them. The Ne cessity of protecting the Lives end Properties of His Majesty's Subjects has rendered it necessary to make an Addition to the Military Force. Bo Arrangements have been affected in the manner least likely to be burthensome to the Country. Though the Revenue has underg , we some fluctuation, it is satisfactory to be iutorit,eil, tba it is again in a state of Progressive Improvement; some Depression exists in some Branches of our Manufactuies, and the PRINCII REGENT deeply laments the distress consequently felt by those who are dependent on them. This Depression is princi- Dally to be ascribed to the embarrassed situation of other Countries, 'anti His Royal Highness hopes that it will be only of a temporary nature. My Lords and Gentlemen, The strongest assurances of friendly dispwition arc received from Foreign Powers. His Royal Highness anxiously wishes that advantage may be taken of the Continuance of Peace, to a►}vance our Internal Prosperity.— But the Success of this Object must essential- ly depend on the Preservation of Internal Tranquillity. The Prince has the mast confident Reliance on the general Loyalty of the People ; but the utmost Vigilance anti Exertion will be required to check the l'rogress of Treason and Impiety, and to impress upon nil Classes of !iis Majesty's Subjects, that it is to the Cultiva ion of Religious Principle, and to Subordination o Lawful Awhority, that we must look for the Continuance of Divine Favour,which !lab iiitk° been so signally experienced by this Kingdonli We have the pleasure to assure our Beide"' that Ilis ROYAL HIGHNESS was received Loyal Cheerings by the People in gen eral ' and looked remarkably well in health.--- There was a less proportion of Military Attend" ants, we believe, than has been usual on " ell occasions, a proof that his Royal Highn e ' l 'dies as well upon the attachment of a Lo l a' People, as upon his own c o nscious integrity and regard for the welfare of the Empire.
