THE SUN REVIEW. (No. LXXI.)

Were it not for the promise we have given to notice all Works sent to is for review, We would not have hesitated to throw this worthless trum pery into the fire upon the first: perception of its •insane drift. That the Author has demonstrated, what no rational being ever doubted, that two or three senseless quacks, and a parcel of crazy idiots (so bereft of intellect, as to have reason to be proud if they could prove their 'title to the more leasonableappeilation of Rogues,) have exhibited _their ignorance and f - Cdly to,.the world, till the Pillory and the Madhouse yawned for them, is a poo r apology for his own lunatic speculations. such rhapsodies of blasphemous . nonse.

M'Culloch„ arrived yesterday, with the schooner ing, - htiNer,anAmerica n letter of marque, riehlyladen with China goods, with which she , racas on her passage from St. Bartholomew to a 'port of the United States ; a schooner called the Diver was in company, but was upset in the Chace, and 'only three of the crew were saved by the Iligh-flyer. The Barossa bad been -very successful during her late cruise, having detained three or four other 'vessels, upon suspicion of being the property of the enemy, which she had sent into one of the island 4 to lees\ and for adjudication. The British brig Stephen; Bull, of London, which sailed from St. Thomas's on the 28th nit. with dry goods, for Curaeoa, was capturM on the' Ist inst. within a league of Bonair, by the Ame rican privateer Caroline, of Baltimore, after an action of fifteen minutes. The.privateer th en too k out of the St e ph en a ll her dry goods, and the crew plundered Captain Bull and his passengers of their NvearhT apparel. The privateer afterwards gave up the wig to Captain Bull on the 3d, when she took in some ballast at a point, to .-windward of Mat sciibo, and bore away for thii island, and ar rived at Pori loyal on Monday night.

No lives Whatever were lost in the Capture of the place, except a black man, attached to the army, who was caught stealing-, and was shot. Gen. Jackson had pro ceeded for New Orleans. A requiSition had been made on the inhabitants to arm theMselves, and prepare to repel the attacks of the British, but it was disregarded', as they wished to haVe their trade renewed again. Gen. Jackson's force is said to amount to 3000 regniars and about 5000 militia,' with a trifling Lumber of Indians. ' A steam-engine is said to have been recently sent from . England for the purpose of draining the mines of Pasco, in Peru, which had for some time past been rendered wholly unproductive by inundations. The engine, it is added, was accompanied by some skilful - mineralogist s , many intelligent miners front Cornwall, by mechanics of every -description verst.d in the erection and employment of the ma chinery, and by triple sets of all the implements and utensils necessary to it.

This fleet left Cork on the 2d Tcorcniber, and, in all probability, will reach this Anchorage in the course of two or three days at .!arthest with the exception of' those vessels destined 'for the Southern Colonies, whither they are to be protected by the Crescent frigate, and would leave the main body in a certain latitude. Th 6 frigate, 'we believe, is intended to cruise Pim; that coast for its protection, EtS well as Co ititeieept the enemy's vessels on their return from an European cruise, as they have hitherto ruin along the coast of the Southern Colonies, passed the West India islands in their course for the United States.

CunacoA, DEC. 9.—By -the arrival of the schooner Dams Rosa, recently from La Guita, we learn, that accounts had been received in Carae-Cits from General Boyce, stating, that he WaS closely blockading the residue of the independent forces in Illaturin.- his intention was, .if possible, to cut oif their provisions; and reduce them by famine. The besieged had, it is said, made two unsucces fid sorties, in the latter of which they are;stated to have lost near 900 men, of which a fourth part were-French.

LONDON, THURSD,II', FEB R uzi la' 16, 1825. We have bad communications with{ seve- ral of the Gentlemen who .were present at the - - Meetings held at Lord LIVERPOOL'S House, and arc thereby enabled to state positively to the Public, that the amount of new Taxes to be pro posed to Parliament will be FIVE MILLIONS. It was of course not specified on what this amount was to be raised ; but, as we understand, the Premier, in answer to a question as to the natiere of. the relief which the Farmer would ex- perienceby the cessation of the Property Tax, replied, that the diminution of the public bur- thens would be Nine Millions, consequently, Abe Property Tax having produced fourteen, the ba lance of Fjce Millions, as we have said, will be supplied by new Taxes. We shalt, to-rnorrow lay before the Public the chief argutnents in support of the measure which Mr. ItoistNsoN 13 to offer to the House of GJutmons on the subjtct of the Corn Laws. This vital .cptestiou must be temperately discatsed, aud we deprecate inflammatory statements which ne tlicr tend to promote tlit (Aids of policy or jus tice. We understand that it is the intention of Go vermnent to give great encouragement to persons who are desirous of proceeding from the United Kingdom fOr the purpose °Nettling in the Canadas. It is affirmed, On authority which wecannot permit ourseNeS to doubt that a free passage and ptovisions during the voyage, at GoVernment expenCe, will be provided for such Settlers, and that.. they will not only he put in possession of Grants'of Land, proportioned in ektent to the means Which they may possess of cultivating them., but that they will' be • allowed rations and other indul genties ,for the time Which may be required"to enable theM to bring their land into cultivation. The encouragement held out by Government on this occasion is so liberal, that we have no' doubt, the, opportunity. _will . be. eagerly ethbraced by numbers ,of industrious, fatuilis from Ireland, and mere ,cspecially, from Scotland, many of the present settlers in Canada being natives ofNortlr )3ritkrin, who must. have made khown to their friends at home the , advantages they have derived from aremoval to the Canadian Provinces upon terms' much less favourable than any at present offered. SEPARATION OF AMERICAN" UNION. We arc enabled this day to lay before the Public the plan proposed to be adopted by the New:Eng-. land States at Hartford. TheyprOpose to make the Convention of 1768 the basis of their proceedings, and to frame a new Government,-to be submitted' to the Legislature of the several StateS for their approbation and adoption. The new Constitution to go.into operation as in the former case, as soon as two, three, or more.of the States named shall have •adoPted it. The form of Government to be as it now is, so modified in its minor provisions as to withhold the right of suffrage from all but free native white citizens. To forbid the creation and admission into the Vnion of the New States with out the consent' 'of all the States. Two-thirds of both branches of Congress to be necessary to de clare war. The term of Presidential service to be lengthened, but the same person not to ,be re eligible, The imposition of unlimited restric tions upon commerce to be abolished. The slave representation to be abolished, &c. " On or before the 4th July (says the Ameri can Editor) if JAMES MADISON is not out of Office, a new 'form of Government will be in operation in the Eastern Section of the Union. Instantly after the contest, in many of the States will be, whether to adhere to the Old or jdin the new Go verntnent. Like every thing else-foretold years ago, and which is verified every day, this warn ing will be also ridiculed as visionary. Be it so. But Mr. ilholsoN cannot complete his term of service, if the war continues. It is impossible, and if he knew human nature he would see it." Jamaica Papers to the Ist ult. reached us this morning, from which we have'extraeted a number of paragraphs, interesting to our Naval and Com mercial Readers and to the Public in general. The only, notice of any political importance is, that the Expedition under Admiral COCKBURN would, it was understood, proceed in the first 'instance to Amelia Ishnd, for the purpose of taking possession of it, and that a detachment of troops was to be conveyed thither from New Providence in the Rota frigate. There are a number of reports respecting the failure of the 'old attack on Mobille, in which the Hermes was lost : this matter is, we imagine, the foundation for all the rumours lately afloat about the defeat of the . Great Expedition under Sir A. COCHRANE. It appears, that after burning the Herthes, Captain PERCY and his ship's company went on board the Sophie, and returned to Pen sacola. General JACKSON'S force is not represented as half sa numerous or efficient as we have recently bad it described 3-8000 men, instead of ;7,000, are mentioned as its full amount. Further troops sailed from Jamaica on the 27th December, for the Mississipi. ThIS morning CoIoneITORRENS waited upon his Royal Highness thePluNcE REGENT for his Royal Highness's deterMinatiOn upon the Sentence of the Court Martial upon Lieut.;-Gen. MURIIAY. We shall lay before our 'Readers in a Second Edi tion the Opinion cf the Court, and the Sentence.
