Fon TH , E SUN. AIR. EDITOR-1n of a WWI ex rresse! Sly you, in your Journal of this day, that your former Correspoodeo , i on the Catholic Ques tion will again stand forth at the approaching when the subject is intended tr , he again agitured--it is toy present intention, through the medium of your truly patriotic J °tuna% , to address to Series of Letters to my fielhitY•stibieers, on a Question so highly iwerrstillg to us all. You, fir, know both-my motives and my principles, it mould, therefore, be ass undue iorrosion on your columns to repeat them Isere ; I shall, there fore, only add, that these Letters mill not be for warded for insertion instil the occasion may call -for them. In the mean time, 1 beg to subscribe myself with great respect, Sir, your obedient humble Servant, Jan. 5, 1820. A BRITON. . Unavoidable proles:do:la] engagements I).)ve prevented my conlin.ling my pre-ent Series, pet I hope to resort), the pet) in a few clays. P. S root THE ‘•TIN. PAUPER I . - MR. Entl - nit-4 shall leave it to some riblr per) to give doe praiie to H. R. the PRINCR RE• G NT, for his patriotic benevolence, in his appio• piloting Dartmoor to the reii. t of existing Pan peri‘m. I not, par icularly at this moment, to appear as A fia!terer. , I may he allowed, however, to offrr a hint for the !note beneficial adoration of !loyal generosity to its int ell Get purpose, !►y reminding probable ipeculators, that however apparently ungettial that Moor may be, in regard to tie usual modes of cultivation, there are other modes that may be adopted in the first instance, with f,ir hopes cot success. Though, in its present state, the Moor ?Illy be unfavourable for the cultivation of Wheat, Bar. ley, Rye, or Oa. s, still, it is not so for Duck liqzeat, whether it is merely sown to be eatefl as preen food, and ploughed in as 11),Mtlt e, or allowed to ripen and harvested like any other grain for the feeding of oxen, swine, and poultry. Whoever ►akes a ride towards Uxbridge in the summer may see large fivlds of it cultivated for various purposes ; indeed, I undtrstand that it is pound and used in the Metropolis fur several species of bread, especially crumpets. Beer has been brewed from it ; and on some parts of the Ostutineut, its seeds are dressed in various ways for human food. 1 fiml too, from botanical writers, which is, in- fir e(i my reason for now recommending ir, that land, which is scarcely fit for any other species of cultivation, will produce absindant harvests of ir, and at au expellee much kos than the cultivation of any other species of grain ; and it is evremely probable that a crop of Buck Wheat may be found a good preparati►•e for the cultivation of Hemp and Flax, so judiciously begun there by Sir T. TY W YTT. One hint, I shall offer, Mr. Editor, on the subject of Emigration. The overflow of Adven turers to take advantage of the Government offers of Colonization in Africi, spews clearly that a spirit of enterpri2e, as well as of necessity would yet operate powerfully, if any other feasible scheme of Emigration were to be presented to public noti( e. In this view of the subject then, I venture to propose an immediate Colonization of New ZEALAND ; by free settlers, on it. North Eistern Coast, either on the banks of the river Thames, or at Mercury 13 iy; between 36. and 37. South Latitude. The description given by COOK, in HAWKS• WORTII'S Collection, of this district, presents greater facilities to the Settler, and also greater security front the Natives, than the Cape at pre sent affords is in its Eastern farms. 1 shall not occupy your columns with extracts, however, for reference is eAsy. The present venerable Presi dent of the Royal Soeiety, has himself visited the spot ; and could, no doubt, afford considerable information to Government on the subject. Should our manufactures improve, the same op port•rnity of obtaining Free Settlers may not again n tie r. IGNOTCTS. PenesTaraNtsm.—Yesterday morning Richard Stanton, a young man, %elm, it may he remem bered, a short time ago, attempted to run 21 miles in three hours, in which he /Ailed by five I inutes of the given time, again attempted a si milar task, according to agreement, on the same spot of ground in the Regent'4 Park, having re covered front a slight strain which he received in the prior attempt ; 50 guineas was the stake.— On starting, he went with great speed, and con 'tinned so to do for the first seven miles (occa sionally lessening his pace), which he performed in one hour and 50 seconds; the second he per fumed in one hour and two minutes ; and ;he 11st seven miles in one CHI r j and lost by tsvo miontes and 50 seconds : his failure was attri buted to a heavy fall, in consequence of slipping in the last hour. GENERAL D'EVEREUX:S EXPEDITION, Mr. ROBERT MACNALLi v - soli of Counsellor MAcNaLLY, a cornet CO Gen D'Evr,ttEo%'s regi ment of Lancers, commanded by Colonel AYL MER, and kvieo sailed from Liverpool in July lasi, on hoard the William, Capt. Peaasos, returned to . his family on Tuesday last, . from Liverpool. This young gentleman, with several other offi cers of the same regiment, arrived at the island tit Margaritta (on the South American coast) in August last, under the command of a Major L'Estrange. They found some armed skips under the command of Admiral ion tiding in the har bour, and three or four privateers. General Eng lish, with a few troops, the fragments of his force, which were defeated at Cumana, was on the kland ; and a number of %voun:led officers were periiti,ng 0t severe wounds, lying on the gr,und. Th e f t . %s ere 2 teti.s awf2 torts. L'Esirange entered into a conspiracy with Brno) and Eng . lid', and was cleared a Colonel. The officers Of the Lancers were called upon to English. They refused w ith proper spit it. Thes presented ► Memorial to Brion to have libeity to tit part, in miler to proceed op the Oionoko, alit! it pos sible, to .brio Bolivar. They w ere refuted, and asked what brought them to Margainta—they were infotmed, that their commissions. %vele nut rived from Bolivar, and iii it they must give up their arms and all military equipments:— Au armed schooner cam , alongsnte the %Vit. Ilan), military fotce hoarded the vessel, and th e office's were stripped of t heir property ot every kind. L'Estranee sold to a pit aiical vessel in the harbour, two months provisions from on board the Capt. Pierson kupi-on boat(' as neatly of the young Gentlemen as he could possibly provide for ; amongst those was Cornet MacNaily, who sailed with Pierson for St. Andrews, stripped to a shirt and pair of trowsers, but the benevolent Captain procured him a jacket, and he and the other Gentlemen walked their passage to St. Andrews, in Nottli America. Several of t'iose unfor tunate youths have returned to Ireland in different ships—NacNally lemainerd with Cap tgin Pierson at St. Andrews till fie took in a cargo of pine, and then worked his way with a gentle man named Delany, to Liverpool ; Gen - . D'Eve reux. being there he went on hoard the vessel, brought MacNally to his hotel, cloathed and paid his passage from America to Liver pool, and from thence to and sheaved him every at I cot ion. This young gem kincin is in good health aud high spit its, now enjoying the comforts of a domestic life with his lather, mother, brothers, sisters, and friends, and we understand has kept an accurate Journal of all in cidents that occurred on his voyages, in which it appears, that the conduct of Brion, English, and L'Estrange deserves the severest reprobation for their deception, cruelty, and treachery to the great cause of the oppressed people of South America. Mr. Gibbon's, of Great George's street, another jimeuile and unfortunate adventurer in the cause of liberty, has also arrived from Halifax, Nova Scotia. He went out to Margaritta with Colonel Aylmer ; was at the funeral of English, who died of a two days' fever. His accounts coincide with those given by Messrs. M‘Nally sod Delany. Ile says, that Col. Aylmer was preparing to have L'Estrange tried by Court Martial on a capital charge ; of course, it this mat) be. convicted, two of tt.e triumvirate will be disposed of according to their merits. Messrs. Jones, brothers, who went out to Mar 14,irirta, are stunned, alter experiencing the must severe sufferings. Col. ll..rtey has returned to London, and Co lonels Aylmer and Mead are hourly expected home. —((Dublin Journal, Jan. 3 y THE NEW SETTLEM ENT OE SINCAPORE. MADRAS, Auo. 24.—A letter from an Officer on board one of the Hon. Company's et uizers in the Eastern Seas, says —n onr way op we called at the new Settlement of Sincapore ; we found them doing %yell, and have no doubt of its being a flourishing place before long. The harbour or road is sate, easy of access at all times, and cow !wands the passage through the Straits close to St. John's Island. Tt.e landing is good, plenty of fresh water, and a fine plain to build on. When I first visited it with Sir S. Ravrt.cs, there were not above 30 Malay houses; others are rising in all parts just now ; and the Malays from various States came to express their satisfaction at again seeing the English amongst them. Batteries were built, and the best arrangements made to give our Java friend; a warm re( option, should they feel inclined to visit them, which the Malaya confidently ex pected, but without doubt of the issue, having the greatest reliance on Major PARQVDAR, whom they know by no other name than the Rajah of Malacca, to this day. IVe were falling much in 'he opinion of the Malays, until the new Settle ment was made ; whereas, now there is nothing like the English iu their estimation. The natives of Sincapoora say, that the mate is very salubrious ; that there is no sickness peculiar to the island ; and that they do not know what sickness is ; but they say, indeed, that even in this healthy and beautiful sp o t, peop l e d o sometimes die when they-got olel PENANG, Jusie 18.—The Indiana, Cornwallis, Mary Anne, and Alarchioneas of Wellesley, are now at Sincapore, where every person was en gaged in landing and mounting th e h eav y o i:d. nance, sent from Penang, for its garrison, consist ing of three 24-pounders and twelve 18.ponnders, Kith abundance of ammunition and warlike stores. After this duty had been performed, the ships named were expected to return to Penang with the remlinder of the Ist Battalion at the 20th, Chet had been at Bencoolen.

We received yestertlay afternoon and thi• morning three days Paris Papers, to Monday last inclusive ; they are rernaikildy barren of inteili -gence. There bad been no meeting of either of the Chambers,. nor is there any notice or their intended Course" of proceediug. Friday anti outlay were chiefly occupied at Palk congra (tit:l6ollS OW the new year. Deputations from the IWO Chambers, and from different public bodies, as well as the Corps Diplomatique, paid their respects to the KING and the Royal. Family. The only circumstance amidst this detail of compliments worthy of particular notice, is the short anti pithy answer given by the KING to the congratulation of the Chamber of Deputies. His MAJusTv said—" We are at peace with. all 'Eu rope, but we ,leave an enemy to combat, namely, 'Anarchy; our situation, however, is unaccom panied by danger whilst I can rely upon you as yol may rely upon me." The Deputation of the Cham ber of Peers,and more peculiarly Marshal DavousT, the Prince D'EcKmuut,, met with a distinguished reception from MoNstEun, in consevence of tech manner of disposing of a Petition (as we have already stated), complaining of the unronstitn. tionality of banishing regicides. The Marshal, who pointed out the mode of extiognishing such Petitions in future, received the must flattering. compliments from MoNstsort. Ihe Duchess of OaLwaNa was on Saturday night delivered of a Prince, who takes the title of Duke of PENTEIIEVRE.' The Conslitutionnel s aces` every day the signa ture or transmission to the Chamber of Deputies of new Petitions, ft Um different quartets, against any alteration in the Election Law. The Journal de Gand is quoted in The illoniteur, for the purpose of announcing that Gen. VAN DAMME, one of the exiles allowed to return, left Ghent on the 29th nit. to proretil to Paris. An article. from Berlin intimates an intended marriage between the hereditary Grand Doke of MECKLENBURG SCHWERIN and the Plineess ALEXANDRINE Of PIOSSitI. The fortifications of Cbarlerol have been much by inundation, damaged A Munich article states, that the Report of th e Committee of Congress at Vienna on the 131 ar ticle of the Federal Act respecting Representative Governments, had been made, and it was he lived that it recognized Constitutions already ex isting, the new interpretations given to the ar ticle being only applicable to States not vet pro vided with Constitutions. The natnre of these new interpretations is not explained, and opinions are said to be much divided u pon the question, whether the Feudal Constitutions Still existing are to be considered as Representative Constitu tions ? Several Bankers from the principal Cries of Germany were assembled at Vienna, anti'there was a report o f a l oan .

Brokers of the first respectability were buying at the latter pipe ; these it is presumed ate real purchasers. The p► evading opinion is that a very great rise will take place soon after the dividends are paid.

Upon the Authority of Letters from eminent houses in St. Peteisburgh, which were received by the la it Mail, we may venture to contradict the statenien't of a new TatitT, which appeared The Times of "Tuesday . Aceurding to tl►ose letters, there i 5 nothing decided yet on the ..übject, atui it is very doubtful whether the Russian Tariff, as it stands, will undergo any alteration at all. The report that Government is to have the ac cession of the GRENVILL6 Party, originated in an OrpCiit ion l'aper,_ and, front what we learn, does not obtain much credit in the Paneled! circles, or seem to be 'sanctioned in any channel of authentic intelligence. The truth is. that Lord GaeNvir,Le, to the honour of the Noble Lord, who is wises and more experienced than any of the peTsons Wirt, whom he Inns hitherto acted, saw the dm, gers which threatened the Country, and patrioti cally came forward' it) support the (4vernment at, ►gym nwitil crisis, and, %hen the peril became mole alarming from the blindness and pertinacity of an. Opposition who, to turfs themselves into power, were inclined to indulge their ambition and rapacity, even at the hazard of loin to the State. Lord GRENVILLE, with purer motives and more enlightened vie‘ts, therefore came forward, rtntl if he thd nut mean wholly to renounce itical connexions, yet be felt that ditty to his Country compelled him to ddre4. from them on. subjects of vital importance Io the Empire. his, e believe, on grounds that are satisfactory to us, was the real cause of hi s .1,01.(10,ip,s late wise, argumentative, aud impressive Speech, Speech that was ill the highest degree ho. !towable to the hear! and heart of the Nvble Lord, surd which we have been repeatedly advised to re-pubti h. twat) to do so•tu.morrow, as it is full of such important truths and sound tea• soniug, as ought to be diffused throughout the Country. It is, however, proper to add, that sve understand, it is likely to come forward under• the immediite correction of the Noble Lou d' - Selt, brit it is, in the tnear► time, tight to sprea►t' useful tt uths, solid arguments, and alarming facts, among a People, too many of %Omni have deluded by the insidious arts (It Itinerant Orators, and a Seditious and Blasphemous Press. It is understood, that in the Bill which Mr. LYTTLIToN, has announced in Parliament for the purpose of prohibiting ell persons . from. Acting as CONVEYANCIIRS, Unless they Lave heels regality educated f.r the legal profession, there is to be an L30(1)114)1) fAvour of LAND STEwAstni t as to the preparing of Leases. On this subject it has justly been observed, that " Leases, effected under powers of leasing, either fur. lives or years, require inn e prefessional skill and :Accuracy than can be expected of any Laud-steward in the Lingdom," and that, " if the Landlords, instead of the Tenants, were t:f abide the consequences of the blunders of the Land-a g e n ts, the above remark might have become less necessary; hut that nice questions may arke feom the ececution of the powers of leasing, and which nng - tit end to the great pre.;tti dice of the tenauts." Th ere i s so mh o) truth and good sense in these remari, that we trust Mr. LYTTLETON will at.. tend to then), as Land Srewarda may he quite as ignorant in legal matters as those who connect %till, their ordinary callings the profession of Cer tificated Conveyancers. This subject is peculiarly entitled to our attention, as 'FUR SUN was the Paper which first brought it in o notice, and submitted it to the attention of the Legi,lature, and woo, the medium of much judicious discussion, on goestion so highly incnc►rtt4t it? matters of pro' perry, awl rcPpectic►~,► tl►r t iiyl►rs of inlet to ict:. 51ANCIIII5TER, JAN. 4 —We hare received frOrli the Borottglireeee 4tltl Consttable4, t tn Ad ve r t ise , ment for insertion, calling a l'oblie Meetiog, « to consider the best metrns titfortlinv, relief to the , neee.sitotts poor in 11:e present inclement season: Thic ie rts it should be.
