FOR THE SUN. THE ILEPI:I3I.ICAN.—No. IV. Ma. Entrott—After p.ll, an English Republi can is a kind of Monster. The propensity is not natural to us.' We lOV'e Kingly Government.— We hare been attach4l to the Cfown, even when the wearer of it has:been, in many points un- , worthy. We look to it as our security, as the visible pledge of Laws, which we have long tried andlltetefore loved. KING and COUNTRY arr, in the mind of a true Briton. inseparably joined. — He lives—He is ready to die for them. To fight for the one, without the other, would seem a mutilated service; together, they inspire an ardour which is irresistible, and has al,vays led to glory. The only time when the whole Country was ac turily mkol for joy, was at the rettnn of legal Monarchy, after the chaos of a Republic, and tote undefined sway and despotism of a Protector. Our KING is 01IE true PROTECTOR. Ile protects the Laws, WII:CII in turn protect both us and him. Such a Protector we understand ; a self-consti tuted Gaardian, or one set °vet us by Military force, we suspect, we fear, we abhor. If such are the genuine feelings of Britons, • which assuredly they are, we have little obligation to those persons, of whatever celebrity, who for any purpose, avowed-or concealed, have been di• ligent to •nstil Republican ideas into the minds of the pnpulace ; into minds but too much prepared lay natural infirmity, anal ignorance of the truth, to receive the infection. The doctrines thus in culcated have been stated, by a Writer of first ate authority and information, to he these-- That the Sovereignty constantly and un alienably resides in the People ; that the People may lawfully depose Kings, not only for misenn duct, but wi;hout any misconduct at all ; that they may set up any new fashion of Government for themselves, or continue without any Govern ment, at theirpleasnre ; that the People ate es sentially their own Ruler, and their will themea sure of their condtict ; the the tenure of Magis- tracy is not a proper subject of contract, because Magistrates have duties, but no rights ; anti that if a contract de facto is made with them in one age, allowing that it hinds at all, it only binds those who are immediately concerned in it, but does not pass to posterity ."---He adds, " These doctrines concerning the People (a term which they ere far from accurately defining, but by which, from many cit cumstances, it is plain enough they mean iheir own faction, if they should grow by eatly arming, by tr..ai.:hery, or violence, into the ptevailin4 force) tend, in my opinion, to the utter subversion, trot only of all Government, in all modes, and to all stable securities to rational free (l9,n, but to all the rules and principles of mora li4y itself." Burke's Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs• What they meant by the People was proved suf ficiently in Mr. Fox's meetings in Palace-yard, and the consequences of these Meetings, the late assemblages in Spa-fields, at Manchester, anti else where. But whatever power may be ascribed, le gally or illegally, to the People of England, it is not only absurd but most pernicious to give that title exclusively to the most ill-informed, worst judging, and most easily seduced portion of the country's population. Yet, from such alone did the above-named Statesman, with all his talents, obtain his once favourite title of the Man of the People ! Such are the obligations which the country al ways owes to Whigs sighing for power, and irri tated by disappointment. We may thank them for filling the minds of the populace with Repub lican notions, detaching them not only from their loyalty, but from their regard for the Constitu tion. and preparing the way for the most de structive sp.fcies of confusion. IMPORTANT INFORMATION.-From calculation by the College of Physicians, no less than 40,00 C die annually in Great Britain of Consumption, and at least 10,000 in London. The late William Turnbull, Esq. a very ingenious Surgeon, ascer tained that every 20hlt person was ruptured.— These complaints are truly alarming to every in •dividiial who uses the least exertion. It is also incredible the number that suffer trom a certain Disease, by being ►mproperly treated. It was those circumstances 'minced Dr. COOPER to select eminent Physicians and Surgeo'ns, of at least 30 yea: s' experience, to form a Medical Board ; and since the establishment upwards of 30,000 Pa tients have been cured without confinement — many of them after hospitals had failed. Messrs. COOPER and Co. are consulted at ' Woodstock-street, Oxford-street ; and at Char lotte House, Great Charlotte-street, opposite the Rev. Rowland Hill's, daily, from eight till eight. Mechanics have advice gratis every evening, from six till eight ; and on Sunday mornings until 12 o'clock. *,* RUPTURES of 30 years standing radically cured without confinement. *4.* There are private doors at each house, and private rooms for Females. N. 13. The Afflicted would do well to read Nssrs. COOPER and Co's Lectures on two pre vailing Diseases, published at oue shilling, by Mr. Harvey, 22, Blackfriars-road. They will also prove useful to young Practitioners. RENCH P.lr IRS. CHAMBER OF PEERS, FEB. 16. The Order of ihe Day was read for the dis cussion of the Projet respecting the Journals. Instead, however, of opening the discussion ins-, mediatrly, the Chamber decided to refer it to a Special Committee of five. The Committee was immediately appointed, consisting of the Viscount De Montmorency, the Marquess De Pastore!, the Duke de La Ruche foncauld, the Count De Boissy d'Anglas, avid the Count Darts. The Chamber separated without any fixed ad journment. It will be convoked as so►►n as the Report of the above Committee is ready to be esented. PROJET OF LAW RELATIVE TO THE JOURNALS. Lours, &c.

OF DEPUTIES, The Order of the D4y for to-morrow (Thurs. aay) is the examination of the projet for renew ing, for one year, the law of the 12th February. 1317, respecting individual liberty, authorizing the arrest of pet suns by warrants signed by three Ministers, witbout !laving recourse to the ordina- ry tribon'ttis. The il';tnns4 ot the motives ot this projet has been dist►ibuted to•day to the Deputies at their esidences. PARTS, FEB. 17.—1 t is at a moment when the most profound and well-grounded affliction has seized upon $ll hearts, and pre-occupies every mind—it is in the midst of this general g: ief, which absorbs other sentiments, and concentrates on a single object the meditations, of all—it is at such an epoch that the Ministry have chosen to present to the Chambers two laws of exception ; and a third, which subjects to the hand of power our whole electoral system. These laws, which ought to be maturely discussed, and tranquilly decided upon, are Mixed with the mourning of the country, and seem destined to form part of the funeral procession of a Prince, whose deplorable death excites the regret of every one, as if our liberties were to ()ascend with him to the tomb. One circumstance . alone affords us any hope, natneiy, that a Minister (M. Pasqnier) has de clared that these laws, these extraordinary mea sures, have been proposed to the King, that their adoption can only be attributed to the Councils of the Ministry ; and thus, if the religion of the Monarch, acted upon by the first emotions of his paternal grief, has been tsken by surprise, it will necessarily be enlightened by a more correct know ledge of facts, and by titt+ discussions in the Cham bers. The whole of Ibis scaffolding of laws of excep tion rests upon a single idea, and that idea an er roneous one, an insult to reason. M. Pasquier has told us from the Tribune The crime which we have to deplore is the result of those pernicious ideas with which the minds of the peo ple are infected, and to which they fancy them selves justified in giving them the title of opi nions.' We wou:(1 say, in our turn, to M, Pas- „trier, The crime of which you 3peak was con ceived in the brain of a fanatic, at a period when opinions chained down by a despotic censorship had, as you know, no vent for their transmission. For five years the execrable Louvel contemplated a horrible catastrophe, which was the object of his constant meditations, and that ate more truly to give way to them, be estranged himself from social communications, and lived alone, if we may so say, with the idea of his crime. For five years no one could write without the permission of a Censorship—and what a Censorship ! The Press has been free for less than a year. The fanati cism of Louvel is not, therefore, the product of that constitutional liberty—of that right granted to all Frenchmen of expressing their opinions, without having to answer for them to art arbitrary authority, but only to the law. You know these things as well as we, M. Pasquier, and it is on an error in fact, or an absurd rdation, or the forget• fulness of a sacred right, or calumny, that you found the despotism of your extraordiaary mea sures. Such manoeuvres may be pardoned as an effect of party spirit but they cannot be pardoned A Statesmen.' The Municipal Burly, and the different Courts ester day presented Addresses of Condolence to be King. The Duchess de Berri was yesterday better. Preparations have been made with great ce letity at the Louvre, for the lying in state of the remains of the Diika de Berri, which will take pl.ce this day. The embalming of the body ►vas finished yesterday evening. The Theatres will, it is believed, not. be open ed till Tuesday next. The assassin Louvel is closely and most iigo rously confined at the Conciergerie. 11 is understood that all the Prefects who were at Patis'on leave, received orders yesterday morn ing to proceed immediately to their respective departments, Nothing positive was known at Madrid from Cadiz, later than the 2Sth.. The Government nevertheless must have received some of a later date, but both at Madri►l and Paris the most pro found silence is obse►ved respecting the contents of these advices.—(Co - ratitutionnel ) FIVR PER CENT°. Tneiday Wednesday 72 f. SO c. 72 f. 3 c. FLANDERS MAIL. A Flanders Mail arrived in Town at F 4 late hour lasi night. The accounts by this convey ance give s:rong rept esentation3 of the high de gree of interest which the. inturtection in Spain excites throughout the Continent. " HaussELs, Van I 6.—The events in the South of Spain excite general attention here, as well as in the test of Europe. It appears Certain that the F t rich Government has given orders To assemble an Army of Observation, which will ex tend along the Pyrenees flom the Mediterranean to the Ocean. It is' asserted, that 'the Powers who signed the lily Alliance take a lively inte rest in the tranquillity of Spain, since if it were disturbed by the revolutionary spirit, very fatal consequences to the rest of Europe might be the result. ‘4 The Arrival of Couriers at Calais is very fre quent, some going to London, others corning from London, on their way to Paris and Madrid." " FRANKFORT, FEB. 11 —We learn front Vien• na that M. Cevallos, the Spanish Minister, has received from his Government several extraordi nary couriers, with dispatches of the highest im portance, which are supposed to be relative to the revolution in Andalusia. He has communi cated the contents of them to Prince Metternich, and has had conferences on three successive days seith that Minister and many foreign Ambassa dors." The Mail also contains the following articles " BRUSSELS, FEB. 1G —An event has lately taken place at Louvain, which has made some noise. The following is the case :—Mr. Trappes, who is settled at Louvain, was arrested theme on the 12th. A decree was communicated to him which orders him to he expeller' from the kingdom. On the lith he set out for Gieet. Mr,,Ttappes is an Englishman, and bad fixed his abode in this Country. His name has been of late frequently mentioned in the Papers, and it is he who gat ely opened a - subscription at Louvain for one of the Editors of The Observer, who has heel] condemned to pay a fine hy the tribunal of that city. As we have no knowledge of the reasons of this severe measure, we shall refrain from any reflections on the sub ject. " BERLIN, FEB. 10.—Our Official Gazette has to-day a violent sortie against an Opposition London Journal, for an article inserted in alt.i.t Paper on the 16th November, in which the States of the Confederation are violently attacked. Some persons suspected of being concerned in drawing up this. article are arrested. The Special Commission_ to tshich the affair is re ferred, will make its report to the .Ministetial Commission, and this to the King. It is believed that the latter will propose to pardon the p er sons accused, but to publish the proceedings.—The well-known Mr. Justus Groner cried lately t \Visbaden. T EATRICA E ISTE R.
