FOR THE SUN. PARTY NIISREPRESENTATION. MR. EDITOR-1f the bold highwayman, in his ae g ree, is a preferable character to the nocturnal assassin, so must -be the bold political accuser to the anealcing sneerer, who, by inuendo or insinua tion, fain would backbite those whom he dare Lot face Indeed I can only compare the latter class to the witches of the olden time, who melted waxen images before a slow fire, or stuck pins into the effigies of those whom they wished to iijure i am led tti these considerations by two at tazi.s, during the past week, by the Whig Press, ant two , V # Sikly estimable Noblemen, whose Orne - atid..misdemeanour is that of per tv,ming their duty to their country, to the ex -4:4-:usion of men of great promise but of small per formance—of men with whom Party seems to be ever y; thing—the. Country nothing ! The Whig. Gazette has found out that his Ma jesty's ship Carneleon has sailed for the Medi teranean, with DEMONT and i'vlAJocci on board, and complains sadly that the Admiralty should accommodate them with a King's ship, " al fny.,ugh a Royal yacht was refused" to somebody e:se? ow, Sir, that Somebody does not appear to Fare any great predeliction for his Majesty's ships and vessels, else why was a polacre hired, requiring a nocturnal watchman, when a man-of war ready ? 'And, as for the refusal, I have a!ready shewn, in your columns, in spite of :forced dates, that to have obeyed the requisition for a yacht, under any circumstances, was mo rrlly impossible. As for sea adventures that are 2'7.-2r:orally possible, the less that is said the bet ter ; but for the case in point, a short answer is all that is necessary. The Cameleon sloop of war being in regular course of service for the Mediterranean, the indi -viduals alluded to are permitted to return home on hoard of her, and that at a smaller expence than- would take them over land ! Now, can the Whig Press, or the Radical Press, find fault with economy, particularly when it is recollected that to send home these people by sea may be in .some degree necessary for their personal safety, in consequence of the misrepresentations of the Times, Chronicle, &c. &c. &c.? . _ _ So much for the attack on Lord MELVILLF..— Let us cow look at the slander raked up from the Sacobinical papers of France and Germany, to excite popular clamour against Lord STEWART, And, if possible, to procure his recal from a .station, where the Radical cause- has nothing to hope for whilst he remains'. It is very true that, on the Continent, we are supposed to be a boring nation, and I have no doubt that, if it really were necessary, Lord S. has sprit enough to box the stoutest fellow among them; aye. and and "pLeck" enough to thrash him to boot: but is it for a moment to be credited that Illenna - baeftney coachman would dare so to.be have to a British Ambayador as to calf for pugi listic vengeance, when even a London Radical - won!!! scarcely venture on it .'

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. GF.RMAN PAPERS AND DUTCH MAIL. FRANKFURT, DEC. our diplomatic circles a chief:subject of conversation is tin mate alliance which is now forming between France and Great Britain ; and it is hoped that this great alliance between these two great Powers, which have been hitherto enemies and rivals, will exercise the happiest influence for the maintenance of peace, and to prevent ambi tious.projects. For if we may believe the re ports of all kinds which havebeen for some tune in circulation, the political horizOn i not free from clouds ; but the wise policy and energy of . some' Cabinets will find means to avert the evils with which we seem to be threatened: • Dec. t is asserted that the-late events at the Escurial, - and the energy with which the Con stitutional Authorities of Spain have addressed their remonstrances to King Ferdinand, have caused the Emperor of Russia to change his views of the Constitution of the Cortes, which is adopt ed by the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. This Monarch now considers it as entirely incompa tible with the Monarchical system, and it is said that the object of the second and last message sent to Naples, is to demand that modifications of the highest importance shall be made in it. It is generally believed that the , Neapolitans will not have laws imposed upon them by foreigners ; and, that if they must - yield, they will' yield only to force, after having made honourable efforts to assert their independence. " M I LAN, DEC. 10.--The Austrian troops have not made any movement for some time which in dicates that military operations are at hand ; only a great part of these troops has been concentrated in the environs of Mantus, and disposed so that it would be able to march in 2=l hours. It has been observed that these troops do not receive their orders from Milan, but directly from Vienna. All the Generals belonging to this army were as sembled some days ago at the head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief, General Baron Fri mont, at Treviso. BERLIN, DEC. s.—We find that the conferences at Troppau will finish about the middle of this mouth, which .is confirmed by the circumstance that. Prince Hardenberg is to leave that place on the'lith for Vienna. ENNA. DEC. IL—As the Emperor will re main at Troppau till the return of.the answer of the King of Naples to the proposals made to him, it is affirmed that'he has been invited to defer the further developement of the Constitutional System established in his dominions till he has heard the opinion of the Allied Sovereigns. Here we.are in general persuaded that the proposed Congress will not take place this winter, and there are reasons to suppose that it will be con certed next spring. It is thought that Florence will be proposed as the place of meeting. 'lt is also thought certain that. the Emperor of Russia will set out soon to return to St. Petersburgh, where he intends to be present at the fetes usually celebrated on New Year's Day.. BATAVIA, Ar:o. lg.—Accounts from Banda of the 22d of 'duly, say that the old crater of the volcano Goenong Api, does not burn so fOriously at prosent, but that the new crater still i ,continues to rage without ceasing. The six spitle planta tions at Louthorr had suffered severely from the ashes discharged from the volcano, and the crop of spices will be :very small, as the fruit opens before it is ripe, and falls from the trees, and many young trees are bpoken short in the middle. In Neira the prospect was not much better, and the whole island had a desolate and melan choly appearance. The planters on whom this misfortune falls are 'thus again disappointed in their expectations, and after the very unproduc tive crop of last year this distressing event will af fect them to such a degree, that they will not be able to pay for the rice and clothing for the slaves in the plantations. The Chinese and 'citizens, many of whom had gardens at the foot of Goefiong Api, where fruit and vegetables prospered, were mostly obliged to leave there, and many had not preserved any thing, not even the ground, which was converted into a heap of rubbish. The last newspapers of Bengal, to the 15th 'June, contain little of importance. The cholera inoi-bus rages dreadfully at Bombay, so that out of 100 sick died. At Delhi and its neigh bourhood also this plagne was not diminished. At ,Calcutta the "number of deaths in the first week of June was 60, Which shows a diminu tion of the sickness in comparison with the pre ceding weeks. .The connEand of the infantry and cavalry un der the orders of the Major-General Commandant of the troops has lately been given to Major-Ge neral Von Gun.—On the 9th another division of eight . gun=boats nand armed vessels sailed for Banca. His Majesty's ship-the Tiomp lies in -the ffitavian roads, and theTendraght corvette, and the Schildpad schooner lie in the road of Sourabaya. • BRUSSELS, DEC. 21.—Her Royal Highness the Princess Marianne, who has been seriously disposed for some days, is now recovering. ITAMBIIRGH MAIL ST. PETERSEURGH, DEC. I.—The cold is still very considerable here. Snow is just now begin ning to fall more frequently. The navigation, however, is still open, and up to the 11th No vember 1,070 ships arrived at Cronstadt. Ac cording.to letters from Jassy, Prince Sumo, the Hospodar, had put an end to the abuses practised by the monopolists, the bakers and butchers, at the expense of the poor, by a very efficacious remedy, which is usual in Turkey, that is, he had some of these bakers and butchers nailed by the ears to the pillory in the market-place, and let them remain there some hours. The bread was immediately of a larger size, the flour un adulterated, the meat fresh, and all cheaper. STOCKHOLM, DEC. B.—lt seems certain, that some complaints have been made to the Supreme Tribunal of the measures taken by the Governor respecting the intended Debating Society. ' The King has addresse I a rescript to Baron Edecranz (the Governor), in which his Majesty, after no ticing-the statement sent him by the Governor of his proceedings, says— We have taken all this into our gracious consideration, and as we find in examining the Statutes intended for the Society, that the Society forms a corporation, which in re• spect to the tendency and the object is not admitted by the laws and the constitution, we do, on account of the abuses and irregularities which - might probably arise, even contrary to the intention of the founders, graciously approi . e of th - e measui es you have taken. It is your duty, observing what the laws and constitution preset Ow to provide that such cor porations as the abov e -mentioned be nut formed. We recom— mend you to the divine protuction. " Stockhohn, November 30, 1820. CHARLES JOHN. C. W. EHRENBORGH. TROPpAu, DEC. B.—liis Majesty the Empe ror of Russia has issued an Ukase respecting the conduct of the regiment Semenoff. His Majesty in this Ukase, or rather order of the' day, to the army after shortly stating the circumstance, which the whole army will learn with regret, says, that the Russian army has hitherto been as much distinguished by its fidelity and discipline as for its valour ; that without obedience an army loses all its honour; that the troops know that they have every means to make known their just complaints, as there are four annual inspections, at which the law commands every one to produce any grievance of which he thinks he has to complain. The regiment Semenoff was formed by Peter the Great, accompanied him in all his campaigns, and has of late years maintain ed its glory, especially at Culm. The individuals who have so misconducted themselves are there fore unworthy to wear the uniform of this regi ment. His Majesty is, therefore,under the painful necessity of disbanding it. The subalterns and privates will be' distributed among the regiments of the line ; the most guilty Will be tried by a Court-martial,and rigorously punished. The Staff, and superior Officers, who have not partaken of the crime, and endeavoured, in vain, to restore order, proved that they did not understand how to treat the soldiers, and to make thetnselires obeyed ; they are therefore to be placed in the regiments of the line, but, in consideration of their conduct, to retain the privileges of officers of the guards. Colonel Schwartz will be tried by a Court-martial, because he did not under stand by his conduct how to keep the regiment in obedience. Orders will be immediately issued to fill up the Semenofr Regiment of the Guards from the ranks of the army, which contain brave men enough worthy to wear the uniform of this dis tinguished,Regiment. COPENHAGEN, DEC, 16.—A Commission, con sisting of three Members of the Aulic Tribunal, is named to try Dr. Dampe, and his accomplice the smith, who are to be proceeded against by the Attorney-General.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT? LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 18.'0. It appears that there is a strong Party in Swe den, attached to the late Royal Family of that Kingdom, not with any idea of restoring the de posed Monarch to the Throne, but in favour of his Son, who is generally considered as one of the most amiable and accomplished Princes in Europe. It is suspected that a powerful neighbouring Potentate is fully aware of the existence of the Party alluded to, and is by no means hostile to its views. Indeed, the dis carded Royal Family of SWEDEN is connected with the Power in question by consanguinity, in addition to those feelings of jealous pride which he may be supposed to feel on the occa sion. We learn by the foreign Journals that the reigning King of SWEDEN has thought proper to suppress a Debating Society which had arisen in the Capital, and which' was deemed too free in its discussions on popular rights, and the original principles of Govern ments. According to the accounts which we have received, events' of no little importance are likely to surprize the world in that quarter, when the measures in agitation at, Troppau have been fully carried into effect. We have had no arrival of. Paris Papers this morning. Marseilles Paper (The C,aducee) announces that a wealthy Englishman, a coldhel in the British army, who resided at liieres, has lost his life in a most melancholy manner. lie was pas sionately fond of shooting, and was usually ac companied by a faithful gamekeeper, who, in firing at some game, missed his mark, and struck his unfortunate master, who had come suddenly from behind a hedge without being perceived. The Colonel died instantly. The poor game keeper returned distracted to the house of his de ceased master, accompanied by a dog, which rent the air with his howlings. Two other dogs re mained by the side of the corpse, and the 'first returned and acted as guide to the persons who went in search of the body. It was with con siderable difficulty that they could succeed in tearing away the faithful animals who surrounded their deceased master. The gamekeeper will, it is said, be tried for his life, although there are no suspicions of his being a murderer by the family . - of the Colonel. FOR THE SUN.
