The liiminers at Charing-cross receive ti considerable icression by the arrival of thousands from Pall 'llall, who were desirous of beholdieg the cere ' "'oily of the Preclema.ion.

MS LATE MAJESTY. The following extraordinary anecdote relative to his MAJESTY'S recovery from his malady in 1788 may he relied on as authentic On the 23d of February, 1789, Mr. Pitt and Lord Melville were dining with Lord Chester field, when a letter was brought to the former, , ehieh he read, and sitting next to Lord M., gave it to him tinder the' table, and whispered, when lie bad looked at it, it would be better for them to talk it over in Lord Chesterfield's dressing room. This proved to be a letter in the King's own hand, aououncing his recovery to Mr. Pitt, in terms somewhat us follows " The King renews, with great satisfaction, his communi cation with Mr. Pitt, after the long suspension of their inter course, owing to his very tedious and painful illness. Ha is fearful that during this interval, the public interests have suffered great inconvenience and difficulty. " It is most desirable that immediate measures should be taken fur restoring the functions of his Government, and Mr. Pitt will_ consult with the Lord Chancellor to-murrow morn ing, upon the most expedient means for that purpose. And the King will receive Mr. Pitt at hew afterwards, about one o'clock." There could be no hesitation on the part of Mr. Pitt, but hiving held the necessary collie, !Trice with the Chancelkr, he waited upon the King at the appointed time, and fonnd him per fectly of sound miod, and in every respect as be. fiife his competent to all the affairs of hi 9 public station. This was the first notice in any way which Mr. Pitt received of this' most important event ; the reports of the Physicians had indeed been of late more favourable ; but Lord Melville verily be lieved there was no• a man except Dr. Willis who entertained the smallest hope of the restoration of the King's mind.' Mr. Pit! continually declared this opinion to Lord Melville, and they had both determined to rotten to the Bar, as the dissolu tion of the Ministry was then on the point of tak ing place. The letter in question Lord M. took from Mr. Pitt, saying he had a trick of losing papers, and in: nished him only with a copy, the original re maining in his Lordship's possession. The King wrote the letter at a little table of the Queen's, which stood in his apartment, without the know . ledge of any person, and having finished, rang his bell, and gave it to his valet-de-chantisre, directing it to he e•lrrt.ed immediately to Mr. Pitt. --(Morning Chronicle.) The following anecdotes respecting his late MasesTy, for the accuracy of which, hotsever, P do not feel ourselves answerable, have been gleaned by , lome of our correspondents His hAbitit44 abstinence front the customary pleasures of the' table was scarcely equalled by any wivete person in his dominions who had enough to eat. Fruit was the only luxury in which he indulged, and that Was :cultivated io the Royal gardens to high perfection, and served at table in great abundance. • The King's munificence was noble as it 'was disctiminai lug . During his illness in 1789, a committee was apvinted to examine the state of the privy purse. • When, out of an income of 60,0001_ per annum, it was found that his Ma. jesty never gave away less than 14,0001. a year in charity ! When the King went to look at Salisbury Ca thedral, the tower of which was at that time under repair, he was without attendants, and his per son, at first, not recognized. Looking over the book of subscribers, he desired to be put down lOsr 1,0001. " What name shall I write, Sir ?" said the person present. "Oh !—a gentleman of Berkshire," replied the King ; thus by a noble simpli c i t y identifying himself with his subjects. A draft was then given for the money. George 111. paid unremitting attention to the scholars of Eton School. Ile knew the most dis• tinguished boys by name, noted their reputations and characters in his memo' y, and has been known to remind an eminent Statesman of the prize which he had gained at school.—(Tithes.) COPY OF A LETTI 2 FROM THR BISHOP OF LONDON TO THE LATE KIt4G. " Nov. 1, 17E0. " Sing—Amidst the congratulations that sur round the Throne,' permit me to lay before your Majesty a heart, which, though oppressed with age anti infirmity, is DO stranger to the joys of my country. " When the melancholy news of the late King's 4emise reached us, it naturally led us to consider the loss we had sustained, and upon what our hopes of futurity depended. The first part excited grief, and put all the tender passions into motion ; hot the second brought life 'and spirit with it, and wiped away the tears from every face. " Oh ! how graciously did the providence of God provide a successor, able to bear the weight of Government in that unexpected event ! " You, Sir, are the person whom the people ardently desire; which affection of their's is hap pily returned, by your :Majesty's Oeclared concern for their prosperity, And let nothing disturb this mutual consent. Let there he but one contest between them—whether the King loves the peo ple best, or the people' him : and may it be a long, a very long, contest ; may it never be de cided, but let it remaiii doubtful ; and may the paternal affection on the one side, and the filial obedience on the other, be had in perpetual re membrance. / " This will probably be the last time .1 shall ever trouble' your Niajesty. I beg leave to ex press my warmest wishes and prayers . on your be half. illay the God of heaven and earth have you al / ways under his protection, and direct you to seek his honour and glory in all you do ; and may you reap the benefit of it, by an increase of hap piness in this world, and in the next." It is highly honourable to the persons in imme diate attendance upon his late MAJBSTY, that during the long period of his afflicting malady, no improper disclosure coneernirg his domestic habits have been made by those who had the means o f personal observation. A u affectionate veneration for a brloved Sovereign prevailed over all the temptations of idle curiosity, and no unauthorized eye has invadq the privacy of his retirement. FOR THE SUN. Mn. - EDITOR—Not having an opportunity of perusing your Journal until the present moment, I shell be obliged to shorten my communication. I therefore beg briefly to observe, that the symp• tonzata diacutica, which appeared in our ever-to be-revered SoverterGN's health about two months ago, were not only indicative of a change in the general stamina of the constitution, but also that nature was rapidly sinking beneath the pressure of years ; since it is a medical fact, attested both by opinion and experience, that when a patient betrays such symntomata about the hyemal sol stice, such patient rarely survives the vernal equi nox; yet some have fallen with the tailing leaf in the ensuing autumn, and this may account.for the Bulletin issued at the time. 12 o'Cluck, Monday Night. FOR THE SUN. A BRITON. THE REPUBLICAN.—(No. T.) A Paper entitled'TH It REPUBLICAN, Will not he expected to appear in THE SUN ; nor wonld the Editor' have expected to receive it from the pen which he will at once recognize. Yet so it is ; nor will the cause be long mysterious. I write not, undoubtedly, to eulogize the character of a RePußmcati, but to display it ; not to recom mend, but to expose his principles. If any of your Readers should consider even the name to he a blot to your Paper, they may reckon it only as one of the spots in the Sun. So little am I afraid of the name, that I rejoiced when first I saw a hostile Paper announced under that title. It tvas speaking out, it was throwing off the mask, instead of continuing to fight older false colours. You know, Mr. Editor, that lung ago I was earnestly employed to convince you and your Readers that a Republic was the real object of those who pretended only to seek Reform. I demonstrated that Universal Suffrage was actual Republicanism ; and Annual Parliaments only a step from it. But when this was at length fairly and openly avowed, all that labour was at an end; and the choice might deliberately be made between the real Constitution of the Country, and that which it never had, but for eleven years of misery and tyranny, in the seventeenth century ; that is, between the best and freest Government that ever existed, and the very Worst that human perverse neasFverdevised. It you put us to such a cioice, the tiuest•iun-. is easily decided . ; but if you Wind our eyes, by pretenditag to reform or restore our excellent \ Constitution, we may fail into the snare before we perceive the datiOr. - Such service has been done; even by the hos tile REPUBLICAN. Mine, however, is of a diffe rent kind. .1 propose to give the natural and ci vil history of the animal, and then, if any people think it right to encourage the breed, let them do it at their peril. First, then, " What is a Republican ?" That is, what is the temper of mind which leads a man to assume that character. ~-. • the foundations of the character ttre pride, sel fislwess, and obstivacy. The Republican cannot bear to acknowledge a superior. Though igno rant, he wishes to direct ; if wise, be supposes all wisdom to centre in himself. The supremacy even of God is not much to his taste ; for which rea son, he is inclined to be, and often is, an ATHErsr. Such was PAINE, such is his rotten bone-bearer, &c. &c. &c. The Republican has a total disregard for tha feelings of others, for which reason his, public measures are harsh, and his private con duct tyrannical. That he is obstinate is a neces sary consequence of his pride and selfishness ; for as he thinks no one wise enough to controul. him, so does be feel that no wish of another ought to supersede his own. Upon his own views and de sit es he has made up his mind, and every thing else is unworthy of his regard. The first REPUB LICAN was the Devil. But it ended in his plaiting himself the Despot of Hell. Do I say tha i tsock is of necessity the character rr• of ever y Rep 4. By no means. But I say and affirm, t?' 4:* :A I re the dispositions which lead to the .at sort of Government ; and particularly those which tend to change other forms of polity into that of a REPUBLIC. Much more is to be said upon this matter. But of that hereafter. The children of Mr. FINIGAN'S School, in George-s•reet, St. Giles's, were yesterday plenti fully regaled, in honour of the Accession of King GEORGE Trig FOURTH to the Thfone, with a (ho ner of roast beef, bread, podding, potatoes, &c. at the sole expellee -of Airs. COUTTS. After an impressive address' from the Master, the whole of the little innocents drank with three times three, out of tankards of porter, the following toast : " God blest King GEORGE THE FOURTH, and grant him a long, htapp►y, and prosperous reign; and we pray Cod will make us grow up to be .10P11 and f . l.4tifirl subjects to him."

You tia`ve seen in most of the French Ne,-vs papers-the proper manner in which the 'Ai ?liver' nary of the wird e r of Louis XVI. %vas observed it Paris and at St. Denys. At the latter place it supposed that all the Royal Family would be preset) except the King, whose infirm health prevented hi tiodergoing the necessary tatigne. In tact they 3) were there, with, I believe onlyame exception.— You may judge what was z . ny surprise, when, o. walking up the Rue de la Paix, between twelve and One o'clock, whorl) should I meet but tib, Duke of- °dram, who not only did not go to S: Denys, hut thus publicly told the world that paid no attention to this day of disgrace to hi • country, and sorrow to his family; by shell,' ing himself in the most frequented part of Paris, while all the Royal Family were corn: memorating in prayers this melancholy event:- IVhat could be the ground of this conduct ?4,1 Was be afraid of offending the memory of father, who, unfortunately for him, bore sOr: remarkable a part in the trafisactions of those times, or was it a little revengeful return fur what he conceived a slight paid to him at the christen. ing of the Duchess de Bet ry's child ? In which, however, his conduct was more like a 'pettish schoolboy than a man of sense. lie surely eau not thi n k th a t such conduct will gain him the good opinion of one of his coontryinen, at least of one worth having.
