FOR TEE SUN. CCNSTI Cli -.70N.--LETTER to what it would hu absurdity, madness, and ,v edness to m4ke it-4 State governed by the tail, instead of the head. No, Sir, it is a Mosatic Y awl such i► must continue, if it is to cou:tnue that admired and envied Fabric, the Bittrisn CoNsmtmos ! With these people it is easy to deal ; their pro. ceedings are too &dike, their declarations too open to he mistaken. The greatest difficulty is with the Whigs, who, when out of po,ter, ap proach so nearly to the Levellers, as 11 - artily to be distin nished tr , on them, In power, it is no le , s difficult to distinguish them trOm Tories ; for, in short, within the present generation, Tory and Ilrhig have had little othrr thAt, in the Ministry, or out. The present Whigs, in. deed, have heen s so los% not, as alnilst to bt,•e been consolidated ‘Vhigs against their will. They have been furced into cnnsktencv with them- WV'S ; and, to do them justice-, they have 11 , +t lately ventured !ipo so many ,vproaches 40 the Repnbl:clns and Leveikre, rib we have known 'he party make, at some very mernorThle prrjoiis,— But though !h-, chiefs of the Parry have not so much transgressed, (tor which tht.y receive the abuse of COBBETT, Howe, and'Co.) (heir hire!iug writers have less scruple ; and their conduct is at least connived at by he party. They are al ways ready to call the defence of the Constitu tion tyranny ; the necessary support of the Lases, cruelty and massacre : !ways prompt to under take the defence of the guii , y, and to blacken, by all kinds of calumny, the persons in power. These despicable' animals join aud promote the cry against taxes, which they know to be indis pensably necessary ; and encourage the pretence that they are laid on for the pleasure and advan tage of the Ministers, though they are convinced • in their souls, if any souls they have, that no• thing is so irksome or so difficult to a Minister as to lay on taxes ; and that the only death-blow to the hopes of any Opposition would be, for the Minister to have the opportunity of carrying on the Government from year to year without new loans. These are the faithless neutrals, who are always mareeuvring in the confines of the war; who, if they do not actually join the enemy, do all they can to obstruct the operations of their friends. They would not have one parry pre vail, but they are very happy to embarrass the other. Shame awaits them all ! Shame, diligently earned, and well deserved ! Our Constitution has now been too well explained, by Writers of uni versal celebri , y, to be misunderstood by any per sons of intelligenne; it is 'too firmly established in the minds of all, above the populace, to be overthrown, again by 'he desperate or the igno- Tant. Men the pariotic hymn of God save the Ki ng is sting by nrai:itudes, and received with seclanations, it is not merely, for the person of our venerable King, beloved as he is, enthroned as he is most justly in the hearts all his worthy subjects, it is not oily fOr him, whose life no one can imagine to be at present very valuable to himself, though highly so to us ;—it i s no t on ly for him that the prayer is offered up : it is, that we may continue to have a KING ) Defender of our Faith, Defender of our Laws, Defender of our Liberties, Dt.teuiler of our Property ! If 'a good King,. the happier certainly for us and for himself ; but if a bad one, we all know that lie Would be within the contr 4 „l of the Constitution, and therefore unable matr,olly to hurt us. Among the ekillc maino.cripts, which occasion ally defile our waits, I hAve lately seen God save the People ! If this were intended really as a prayer for the people, for their prosperity, for their happiness, here and hereaftcr, what good wan would not join in it with heart and soul ? But it is meant, I fear; to substitute God sane the People for GOD SAVE THE KING; to make the Pet , ple the King, and transfer the loyalty to them, which, is only due to him: In this sense it is ebony-able ! The prayer most wanted now is, Gud bare the People from their flatterers and eor ruptet s; from their own errors, and their own had passi.ps ! God save 'hem from these things, and rlirt i they still unite, to a man, in the truly British Courus of GOD SAVE THE KIN() ! SCMIERS. ' Yes, 11.1 r. Editor, it is against REPtIBITCANS anti LaTELLETB that we must stand upon our guard. 1 too, iiice Sir FaAscts, could call upon the 'Country - Gentlemen to rouse amid exert thetn selves ; but it would be to rouse, that they may 'defend their property from spoil, and their dig ui,y Irons :legraddtion. And th,is e'dll then most certainly would answer, if the danger should be- come more pressing, such an energy am! unanimity as would soon chive tile Couspirat ors to despair. This, Sir, is the true name of those whoa► you arid others have complimented with the title of RADICAL REFoRNIEBI. Reform, with a vengeance ! They would reform the Constitu tion to what it never was, nor ever ought to he ; AMERICA'. vAptas. 1 (Fiam the &eon Paper o f the Nth of 4 upt.o.) There is hardly ai arrival in our ports that does not bring a narrative of some luckless vessel that bas been plundered, or sunk, or captured, by a set of men who style themselves Patriots, Gentlemen, doubtless, who are above any honest profession, rather above the comunin filching of ware houses and dwellings, their disdain for the latter ,rising principally out of the unprofitableness of the trade ; men of spirit, who have launched optw. the high seas to rob every Spanish vessel that has a cargo worth their pillaging, and above all, that happens to ,be defenceless. We have before us a list of the Patriot vessels fitted out in the ports of the United States, amounting to up wards of kitty, about thiee-fourths of which are said to belong to the port of Baltimore; these are all armed, and together, would make a pretty formidable 'N.lvy. But force to aid the Patriot cause it is not intended ; the object ii plunder, to cover which, the vessels taken are commonly tipl , k. . Every American is ardent for South American freedom. Our Government undnabtenly looks with a complacent eye upon each success of the Pat ins cause ; but if we are to give aid to the Spanish Independents, let us openly proclaim ourselves their .Allies, and rid us or the impu ' tar ion of bolding Spain with the !l i ght hand of peace, and plunging the _ secret knife at her vitals With the left. We do not mean to say that-this imputation is exactly just, yet the rob bery of the vessels of a Power, whose worst crime is her impotence, by vessels fitted out in the United States it a disgrace upon the na tion. The Government probably deems its office fulfilled in the laws against piracy ; but it is cer tain that these laws are too weak to repress it.— It . we speak our sentiments, we could wish that a good part of our Mediterranean squadron could not be more hononrably employed than in clear. ing the seas of those lawli-ss corsairs.

His Ma-. j(!sty transacted business with the Marquess Des. suites, and afterwards took an airing to Mal maison. " The King reviews the National Guards on Friday next, on the Boulevards. . . " The Duchess de Berry dined yesterday with the King and Royal Family. " The report of the, death of the Emperor Alexander is untounded. The jonrney in Bel gium Of a Courier Extraordinary, of the Russian Cabinet, and the recent death of the Russian Mi. ulster of the Interior, gave rise to tl►ir rumour, which bas been by some of the Journals too easily credited. " It is understood that the fortifications of illayenee sod Coblentz are to be augmented ; a plan is spoken of, formed by the Doke of Wel lington, for establishing new points ut defence on the Rhine. " A Dutch division arrived at Toulon on the 27th ult., consisting of the William 1., of 74 inns, and the frigates La Rhin and I►iana.

" The departure of the Expedition from Cadiz is fixed for the 15th September. " Jr is reported that the Alexander, of 74 guns (purchased from Russia), which sailed the Ist of May, has returned to Cadiz, having sus tained so much damage after crossing the line that she - could not Continue the voyzge. " TVEIN,AUG 28.—Three commercial houses Here, those of Henry Bohmcda, Parracca and Vasco, and Raimondo Vigritello, s have stopped payment. The house of Guiseppa, Vinatier and' Co. had previously failed. RASTADT, SEPT. 1 the letters from the interior of Germany speak of the importance of the armaments which ate actively going forward in the Austrian Monatchy ; 80 000 recruits have been distributed amongst the different corps, and a second levy is ttlked of. The battalions of the Landwehr are all armed and ready to juin ti•e Regiments of the Line. Four thousand horses have been purchased in Holstein, to remount the heavy cavalry. The officers, who, on account of their age or - irfirmities, are no longer fit for active service, have obtained their retreat, and. .been placed in the reserve. Gallicia ap pears to he a particular objezt of attention on the part of theilu‘trian Government. The Prince de Reuss, who in 1813 c•.:nmantled in chief the Austrian Army, has been'a!rdoiuted Military Governor of that Ernstin,....:, with 'very Cx tensive powers." As the Meeting of the Common Council _yes terday was held in consequence of a Requisition from those who were resolved to condemn the conduct of the Yeomanry Cavalry and the Ma gistrates of Manchester, as well as the Govern ment of the Country, it is no wonder that most of the Speakers should have adopted all the argumeots which have appeared over and over again in the Oplrosition Prints. It is riot, therefore, a matter of surprize that the LORD MAYOR should fee) great 'reluctance in calling a Meeting which was intended to decide upon proceedings that are to undergo the examination of Legal Courts. His Lordship simply expressed this sentiment, a senti. ment that must be entertained by every rill loud and unprejudiced man in the Country ; but he was auimadverted upon with great bitterness by Mr. WAITHMAN, for having uttered so just . and so, candid an expression of his .feelings. WAITH• mAri,condetnned the LORD MAYOR for thus having spokeu like a man of reflection, anti front a nsense of justice, of having attempted to bias the judg merit of the Court. It was absurd to suppose that. his Lordship could have had such en in:ention, or that be Could have hoped that any. thing lie could say would alter the minds of those who came with a disposition to rejvct all I:asoniug that should not correspond with their Om:: pre conceived opinions and determinations. iVe have given a full account of the proceedings, and we can most solemnly aver, that having read them seitls -the utmost attention, we conceive that the arguments, as well as the justice and liberality, were wholly on the aide of those who are the real Iriends to the Country, its Laws, and its Constitution, and that little besidei mon-place declamation issued from_the opposite. Party. IVhdt can be thought of those . who, without waiting for' judicial inquiry, affirni,.th,at, " a wound has been inflicted nut the Coustitol L ion" by thci,e who haVe actually preserved it. from: a lawless mob, and without scruple eau accuse the: most respectable people of Manchester of - Meeting that mob wi•h Avowed hOsti,liky, and distiersing' them by violence and bloodshed, when it ,is well . known that the mob assailed them with fury,: and „.. threw at them all the offensire matters that they could gather, brick-hats, stones, arc. IVas such a Meeting for peaceable and 'lawful purposes, when it is well-known that one of their purposes was to elect a Member of Parliament for; a place that cannot be represented but by a legisiative ettictment The Opposition Speakers at the Common Hall yesterday accused the Yeomanry Cavalry of the most " horrid atrUcities," and indeed applied to them and the Magistrates every epithet that could stigmatize their charaiters.— The very Resolution* which Mr. WAJTHMAN hionght cui and dry to the 11.1;, fully mantic:l6l a dispositi on to prejudge the Question. nut a refer our Readers to the Report of the Meeti n g' and cannot harbour a doubt . that they will el' demit the adopti on o f such &solution's, whi the' wh o le o f. t h e unkorthnate transactions t 'Manchester are investigated before th c proper Legal Tritunals, and will be determined by, we trust, impartial Juiles of our Country' meti. • • CORN-EXCHANGE.
