TO THE PUBLIC. Mr. TAYLOR, the Peorateron of THE SUN Newsearen, being desirous of lessening the La tepur mid Solicitude attending thu Conduct of a Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources, IA hose Political Principles correspoed with those which the Paper has always supported, and who would be inclined to co-opet ate in Manage. Inert as well as Literary Comoosition. He north' 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 de nce of his Reader's, and that his long experi eece may reasonably be supposed to attach some redit to his competency in tie conduct of a Politic Journal. Ile conceives also, that in these H et tut and threatening times every Public Mau should remain at his post, in order to contribute, to the utmost of his "power, towards the defence of our inestimable Constitutiou. Several lo dividuals have offered to pnrChase the Paper; but as it was founded tinder the immediate stinc• tion of the hate Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems it his duty to consider it as a Political Legacy left by that Illustrious Statesman to his Country, to Maintain and perpetuate those Principles which are most conducive to the security of the State and the happiness of the People.* Hence tile Ad mirers of that enlightened Minister and true Pa- , trios 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 pet:tortes y ad vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel fare Of at least to any other whose interests may be essentially united with Hie inteiest of the Couti• try. To su c h Persons the Proprietor w,,tild most willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and, however anxious he may he for repose, after many years of toil and solicitude, fie would readily act as their Agent so long as his soperintendance might be regaired. It cannot be necessary to on the high reputation which Toe SUN has so long possessed, in consequeoce of (tie Jonieviatiog consisteocy of its Political Character, and the uniform propriety of its general Conduct. TO support a Government acting on the system of Air. PITT is the main principle by which the Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad herence 10 that system can it maintain its charac ter. 1r is obvious, however, that a steady attach meta - to a System which comprehends the safety of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser vile concurrence in the Measures of any Admini stratiou. But while 'fins 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 due to the memory of its Illustrio u s F oun d er , s i nce an indifference to the fate of such a Paper, on the part of d PITT ADNINISTRATIoN, Would be a sole cism, as well as a rept oach, which it is not likely to incur. With not less confidence may the Paper rely on the protection of the Pao. T, , STANT CHURCH, as it has SO streuttoasly sup ported it that it is supposed to be peculiarly pa.ronized by it-ta CLERGY ; amour WllOlll it certainly can boast of many valuable Cor respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be well cpndified, by abilities and knowledge, to iu stroct the Community at large, and, in these times, should consider that they have duties to tolfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they might very properly . possess themselves of a Paper which would not only enable them to spt ead right principles in general, but also to (I lec k th o se liceirliorti and ißipiouS doctrines - which ale 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 THE SUN owes its origin, a m! from whore they derive their appella tioti. ANNUAL CELEEttATIoNS Of a BIRTH-DAY are of little use, and must fall into languor nod decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse and support the Principles upon which those I Associations are professedly established. THE SUN may also expect the support of the REGULAR SOLICITORS throughout the Kingdom, as that arid that alone, (,as zealously eudeiteoured to inaiivain rite honour Of the Legal Ycofessinn, by exempting it front all irregnlar Practitioners ttnd iiiseretlitAble Intruders. Finally, THE SUN nniy lonk to the Ptzot'LE AT LARGE for patronage an►l eucourageuief►t on Account of the ateadiness its Public Spirit, and its reso- . - endeavonis, an all occasions, to promote the honour ami Interest ut tile Country. ZSucit, then, is the Opportunity ‘vbielt the Proprietor ti ow offers to his Countrymen; and as it presents A I .

The Proprietor has lieen de , ired, hy a Gentleman of rank, who was in the confidence of Mr. PurT at the time, to state that THE SUN Newspaper was not instituted for the mere support of Ins Own Adininistim ion, but " for the PnolEcrtoN of the Kt sc's GovrAiN.stENT."

LETTF....II. cutttiuttal repetitiott cveu of" the most paipAble fAlsel i o,,d t , from the most contrmprible mouths, will in lime make sumo. iml,ression ; and though, 1 trust, th e g oo d sense o' this Cumitry tvili never submit to be governed by the pc►p„iace, vet that the minds of such a body st►oold be Weaned and alienated from the admirable Constitution, which seeks not to oppress, but to cherish and protect them, would be a most portentous evil. Nothing, however, can more directly tend to produce that effect, than the circulation of Republican doctrines uncoutraieted 3 and the assertion, everlastingly repeated, that Our Country, if it is not, ought to be governed by the will of the multitude. Hence it becomes necessary, in every possible way, to recall to memory, that oor Government always has been a Mosaucnv, and would cease to be that system, which wise men of all countries admire,- if it lost that permanent character. tint opinions of a Repnblican tendency are not confined to the multitude, to whom they must of necessity be must seducing.; but are held, in fact, by all those, of whatever class, who consider • suffrage as a general right, and all political ques tions as ultimately determinable by the casting tsp of an universal poll. Suffrage, Sir, if not so defined,' has always been practically considered, in our Constitution, as an office; an office which may b e conferred on those, who have it not, by those who have forfeited it, if exercised impro perly. in this view, which certainly is the true one, according to invariable practice, no man has a right to 'complain that he has not a vote, any more than he has that he is not appointed a.con stable. Offices are conferred on those who seem likely to employ them for the public good, and withheld or taken away from those who would mis-employ them. The gradual change of circumstances, in a long period of time, has raised - some places into con sequence, which were originally of small, or no political weight ; and reduced to insignificance, others that had been more conspicuous. But there is no principle in our Constitution which makes it imperative on the Sovereign, or any other per son, or body, to deprive the latter of their office, or to confer it on the former. Hence the appa rent irregularity has continued, which some think so intolerable, aed many otherwise well-informed persons consider as not to be defended. I have said, that for peace and unanimity's sake, I could wilh to see it altered. But not -on Republican principles. Heaven forbid ! I would rather see it defended, as it is, at almost any hazard. It is very evident, Sir, that all those of whatever name, who have regarded the Re- volution of 1688, as founded on RepubliCan prin. ciples, or Democratic claims, have totally mis- represented it, and insulted the constitutional dignity of the Monarchy. This is the consequence which the first great SOMERS (whose name .1 have borrowed, not throng), arrognnce, but ra,tner a 3 a ptotectioo), and the wise wen who acted with ;lin Brost studiously endeavoured to preveut. They did 411 that political wisdom could effect, to pre vent it ; but they have not on that a c count escaped tni,urpresentation. the object, therefore, of these Letters will be fully gained, if they should succeed, in any de gree, in circulating awl re-establishing the nu- portant truth, that by Monarchical principles our Colotitittion i4lbsists, and by those which are De mocratical must quickly be destroyed. lVith regard to the of Commons, if it were composed of Angels, it could not positively avert those public calamities which Providence induces for our trial or our chastisement ; and even a Parliament of Angt.ls, when such ca.laini ties occurred, tsould be considered by our cicala- gognes, and soon believed by the populace, co be Gillet) Angels. A Parliament of men will always, 1 fear, contain too many individuals who grie randy want Reform ; but that cannot be the kof any political expedient , it must be he- gun by the individuals themselves, and completed as Ileaven shall direct.

" MADRID, Sm.'''. 7.—The Government in of ficially announcing to-day the existence of the yellow fever in the Isle of Leon, expresses apprehensions of its extending to the ad . jo. cent quarters. The Sanitary Cordon commences at San Lucar de Barrameda and passing by Las Cabrezas, Lebrija, Bornos, Arcos, and Medina Sidonia, terminates at Conil. The greatest pre cautions have been taken at Cadiz, Seville, in Estremadura, and also at Cordova, and in the kiitgdom of Jaen.

GENOA, SEPT. 3.—The Spanish Consul here had demanded die arrest, of three English Cap tains and the stoppage of their vessels, on the ground of their having, on the Coast of Valencia, attacked tlarce vessels of the Spanish ,Royal Ma rine which had run aground. The intervention of the English Consul has for the present arranged the affair. " On the other hand, in another affair, a Spa nn') frigate fired upon an English vessel, and killed some English passengers. This vessel came in here and made its report to the English Mini ster, who in consequence expedited his Secretary to London. " BERLIN, SFPT. S.—lt has already been stated that the King has finally sanctioned the bases of the new Constitution as arranged by the Prince de flardenberg. His Majesty has also appointed a Commission, consisting of the Ministers, William de Humboldt and Schuck mann, and the Privy Coun cillors, Ancillon, Lichhorn, and S av i gn y, to give to these bases the necessary developments, and to arrange a detailed Constitutional Projet." It has been our sincere pride to give full ere. ►lit to the Magistrates and Yeomanry Cavalry at belancllester, on the necessity of the measures which they adopted for the restoration of public tranquillity, and we cannot doubt that every li beral and jud►cious Person throughout tt►e United Kingdom entertained the same opinion. At all events, no honest mind would prejudge the ques tion, and condemn without trial, as all the Oppo sition Pipers have done. But we have received such information from the most authentic sources respecting. the real principles, objects, and cha racter of the miscreants who assembled on the 16th ult. at Manchester, as fully justifies all the measures to which the Authorities, Civil and Military, were obliged to resort on that memorable as well as larneutable Occasion. We shall detail A tew particulas, uiwu wlticL; 531,:runly assure the Public that they may implicitly fell' in order to slew the disposition, spirit, designh mid expectations of the Reformers, who, Irons . various quarters, assenit4led at Manchester."' In the first place, it %ve she full hope of th e Rabble in general that their ttunsbers would bs so much increased 'as they proceeded to their head -quarters, Manchester, as to enable then wholly to overpower any Civil and Alilitaif For ce that could be brought to oppose ,then!. —' This vast accession of power was so COnti. deafly expected by them, that for many - digs before the Meeting specie had vanished, and . was impossible to get a bank-note changed. 'Those who were in debt refused piyment, and their language was, that " the 1 Gth would settle every thing." The men were armed with bled' geons, and hooked sticks, so strong that I blow would have fractured the skull, and have pulled a horseman off.—They had be" sides short pikes concealed, of a most destroc . tive nature. Not less than seven hundred 44 4 been regularly trained to the military exercise, ill which they were very expert. They were called to this training every morning, as punctually as it they had been in the regular service. Whet' ever they saw a portlyman, they Insultingly ad dressed him in the following terms : " Your belly LI worth a pike." To the women with decent gowns/ who observed them from curiosity, theyssid, "Aye , we worked for that gown, but you shall work for its." To a Gentleman and Lady who were riding in a gig, they bawled " Come out, you have rid' den long enough ;it is our turn now." In their progress some of them stopped at SLATTUCO lon, between Middleton and Rochdale, and dc' voured the breakfast prepared for stage pas' sengers, refusing to pay, and seizing what• ever they could lay hands on. The shooting at Bluctr, the Constable, was described 0. " a glorious deed," and it was signified that an the great men of the Country should share tld . same fate. Wherever they saw a better hat than their own it was taken, and the old one con , ' temptuously cast at the person robbed. Tne 16th they uniformly considered as what they stiled " the settling day," which was to overthrow di°. Government of the Country, and give lluarr and his gang full command. As a proof that all setts! . , of Religion was ext i ngu i s h e d , t h ey b urnt all their Bibles, and, with a kind of wanton superstition, they were.slowly burnt, as was said, to. prolong their torture. Can it be doubted that such execrable miscreants would have served all persons of opposits principles in the same manner Was Reforo to be expected from such desperate wretches, ol; from their Leaders, who must have beeii fullf apprized of all the horrible views of their 4e' luded followers. We can vouch for the truth of all that we have now stated, nor can a ny parts of it be considered as trilling or indifferent, as they all co-operate in skewing the de termined diabolical spirit by which the whole of the immense mass !vas actuated. Those who returned horn the Meeting of the 16th, being disappointed in finding that " the setthol: day" passed off without the expected eonse" ptences, vented bitter curses on their own cowardice, and on that of the mob in general , for not having wholly destroyed the Military, the Magistrates, and all who opposed their designs.- The Magistrates were fully apprized o f the desperate views of these miscreants, and, by firm , and timely vigour, prevented the destruction or themselves and all opulent and respectable Inhabitants of Manchester and the neighbour hood. Manchester was to be given up to plun der and carnage. All this, as we have said, is founded on truth ; and if The Morning Chro nicle and The Times had any regard to truth, candour, and justice, they would re voke their calumnies against that Government which had due information of the full magnitude of the digger, and guarded against it with al much humanity and forbearance as possible, consistently with the safety of the State. For this reason the PRiNcm REGENT justly thanked those who had been instrumental, on the spot, i.c► Averting the formidable evils that impended, and for this reason his Royal Highness so properly rebuked those men who disgrace the situation to which their fellow-citizens have raised them, by prejudging those who have performed the most meritorious services, at the utmost hazard t° themselves, and who, besides this shameless pre" indication, insulted the Throne, by obtrusiv e Counsel and presumptuous censure. {From Me Halifax Papers of the iSd dugust.] MONTHEA.L, JULY 31.—There arrived at (Jo e.
