JOll - N -- BUla AND MR. BROUGHAM. FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDITOR—I flattered myself, that the oc visional hints, which you have given my relative, the Editor of that scandalous weekly publica tion " Tai-E JOHN BULL," would have induced 'him to act with more forbearance and pru dence, before he ventured to " strip preten ders" to, notoriety, as he styles them, and be .Jore-te began again " to rake up old stories," or " unnecessarily to wound personal feelings ;" but 'it appears, that he is entirely devoid of all the 'higher feelings of our common nature d , and so long as he can gratify the vindictiveness of his temper, and secure to himself the means of personal gra ,tification by the SALE of ins paper, he will dole out, by wholesale, weekly, the grossest per monalities without regard to sex, station, or character. It may not, therefore, be without its use to Teminti this periodical libeller, that the Press has dealt most tenderly with him : not from any personal regard . to himself, but to other branches of his family, and especially from respect to the memory of that most excellent man, his late father, who was neglected and 'abandoned for -many years before his death ; and who, dying in , extreme poverty, has left a widow entirely desti tute, and.in the utmost distress ! In addition to -this total want regard and affection in the Editor of John 'll all, other improper conduct, in the course of his public and private career, can, when requisite, be pointed out ; but, as I wish on this occasion to give . him only " a gentle set down," 1 shall confine - my-, self to one solitary instance of his misconduct whilst abroad ! lint then, If it is true, it is a most profligate instance of the absence of all moral rectitude and - feeling. It is very currently re ported, that whilst he held an official situation in 'an Eastern Dependency, he became (not only from that circumstance, but also from family con nexion) ax INMATE of the establishment of one of His Superiors ; and, whilst he was participating in the liberal and generous hospitality of his friend and relation, it is said, that he offered, on a' particular occasion, whilst ut one of the country residences of Ills Superior, and during his ab sence, a most gross and daring insult to his wife, which, with becoming spirit, she instantly re pelled with-indignation and disgust. " In all the train or"Vlee there's not a Monster " More foul, more ugly than 124:GRATITUDE.

Yet he died, poor a neglected ! If JOHN BULL will not confine hi self to the defenCe of the Establishment Church an d State, and to the protection of our .Colonists Irvin fanaticism and hypocrisy, and to other great national questions, but will indulge himself in weekly libellous attacks on private characters in all conditions of life, he must ex pert to be retorted upon, and to have a few truths thrown out which will not be very palat able or convenient to himself and his relations. With respect to the origin and antiquity of Mr.llr,Nity BIIQUGHAM'S Ninny, I have only that knowledge which the public possess, and which may be found , in various topographical works re lating to the Northern Counties : but it is a mat ter of perfect indifference to mankind whore .a •man of intellect, integrity, and talents is born, Whether in a garret in Edinburgh, or at Brougham- Hall, or. in Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury. dl however, find in Mr. 111:NNANT'S Tour, that the Manor of 13itoUGITAM. has been held, with slight interruption, by the family of that n ame, since • the 22d of Henry the ~>d ;—and it also appears by Mr.J.irsoN's Magna Britannia, volume Cum berland, that 66 the ancient family of BIIOUGHAM ". of Brougham,-in Westmoreland, were lung cc possessed of property in this county, and for " some generationS Oil Brougham, winch had 4' been sold to the litunS, was re.pUrAOSed family), Scales Hall, in the parish or was their lima residences 111:Ntly " Baouoiissi, Esq.M.P., Ilasister at Law, is the 6 present , representative of this family." p.lx-x. Su p that by these authorities, it is evident that Mr. HENRY Baounumit's family have possessed m 66 fitent domains" for many centuries, in the counties of Westmoreland andCuaLberland, and that Mr. IlitounnAm; although he is not de scended from a long line of NOIILE gncestors, has .succeeded to the patrimony of his forefathers, who we re distinguished fur their intellectual ...worth and independence ; and it is no small com pliment to observe on the authority of Bow.. sitstrgra, , that Mr. Baotinatmei Grandfather and ather enjoyed the confidence and possessed .the. support of that most distinguished, liberal, and patriotic. Statesman, the late Duke of PORTLAND. •If these remarks are inserted in your Paper, I shall most probably send .you in a few days some observations on JOHN BULL'S attack on Mr. LUSUINUTON, ' Master of the Grown Office, and Chairman of the Colonial 'Audit Board. To this latter I3oard it is well known that the Editor of John Bull bears no affection : it was, however, to be expected that he would in his Editorial capacity have recollected, " that the lip of truth shall- be established for ever, but that a lying tongue is " only for a moment," before he ventured to insinuate to the • world that the fines for libels for which he had paid were withheld either by the Master of the Crown Office or the Senior Clerks in it ; when he must of his own know ledge have been aware, that fines and money paid into Court are alwayS paid over, and that the same is entered in a book kept at the office for public inspection. P British Col Fe-house, sepAty6,liliiP2o4.TTEß, the Younger. SIR THOMAS MAITLAND. .• (From the John Hullof yesterday.) ccThe following we copy from a MattaGazette, of June the 2d ; it has been published already in the London Papers,, but we were not aware that it was attributed to Lord Belo-sr—we have received 170Siiire itfibrnianini that it was actually the production of his Lordship, and when his poli tical connexion with the Greeks and his strenuous adVocacy of their cause are considered, such a tribute to the merits and vir tues of Sir TitoSIAS MAITLAND cannot fail to be highly satis factory to his surviving friends and admireri:— " It had been suited in the Frankfort Gazette, that when the news of the death of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND reached Misso longhi the town was illuminated for two days. The Teleg . ralo Grecio of the 17th of April last, published at Missolonght, in noticing this report, gives the following article, which we un derstand is from the pen of the late lamented Lord BYTtorr Not only is it false that there were public rejoicings at Missolonghi on the death of Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, the Lord High Commissioner"of his Britannic Majesty, but the idea of such a thing never entered into the head of any one. " If the Greeks suared in some things from his conduct during the first years of their glorious struggle, they are sen sible of the difficult and arduous nature of the situation he filled as the Chief British Authority in the lonian Islands, and of the necessity under which he was orregulating his proceed ings agreeable to the policy and instructions of his own Govern ment. " But the Greeks too arc ready to;confess, that no sooner did a favourable change appear in the British Cabinet in respect to them, than the conduct of Sir Thomas MAITLAND on the spot was free front all hostility to their cause; and even sup posing they bad reason to complain of Sir THOMAS Al Arr. LAND, when lie was gone, they had nothing to do but observe silence, and last of all would they have indulged in whit can only be considered as low and infamous revenge ; and if there' be any persons who suppose that the Greeks could be actuated by other sentiments than these, and at the same time give themselves out as friends of the Greek cause, all that they can say is, that they blush for such friends. " It is true that some persons were found, through ignorance or some more unworthy motive, to raise a cry against the Go vernment of the late Sir THOMAS MAITLAND. We are, how. ever, authorized by a distinguished person who visited the lonian . Islands, as strongly prepossessed as possible against that Goren:trent, to declare that the whole qf the accusations to its prejudice rested on nu for whatever—that UNDER THE AUSPICES OF SIR THOMAS MAITLAND THOSE ISLANDS WERE FAIL MORE FLOURISHING 'THAN OTHER COUN TRIES WHICH ARE SAID TO UR IN A MOST PROSPEROWS STATE, AND TnAT HIS sYsTErt OF GOVERNMENT WAS PERHAPS THE BEST THAT COULD BE IMAGINED FOR UR lONIANS." FOR THE SUN. SALMON FISHERIES. Ma. Ent-rott—ln your Paper of the 31st of August I observed an article on the abuses exer cised in the methods employed in taking Salmon. The Report delivered into the Committee of the house of _Commons, by Sir if. DAVY, on the Salmon Fisheries, is worthy the attention of the Public, particularly those who may be personally concerned in that subject. The publicity of that b e o f great servic e . Th e L aw article, t h roug h the medium of your valuable Journthe Regulations of the S co t c h with :r at' bee eepoct n e o e n corrected by different Acts of Parliament ; but in Nngianti no correction of old abuses has taken place ; indeed, the subject has been's() long neglected, that had Parliament not taken it under consideration, those abuses were of too long standing to be easily removed by in dividual exertion. That many have been de prived of their rights rather than go to law is no uncommon case—submission soon creates a pre scriptive right, end t am persuaded that half of ' those ancient privileges were established by the powerful over the weak, although contrary both to law and common justice. For instance, a Country Gentleman, of small fortune, may be surrounded on all sides by the .property of some great Aristocratic Duke, whose minions are ever on the look-out to discover some opportunity of encroachment ; an unexercised right, which from ' ignorance or neglect has been discontinued, is immediately laid hold of, and, in a few years, by the law of prescription, the usurpation is estab lished. A narrow scrutiny into the title deeds of those who possess great estates would prove that justice had little hand in the manner of acquiring them—that abuses (with respect to the exciusitec right of fisheries) have long existed, has been proved before our Courts of Law. Your making public the able statement of Sir 11. DAVY will, Mr. Editor, call the attention of those persons who have suffered from the unlawful exercise of the abuses in question. ** * * London, Sept. 3, 1824. ** The Parliamentary Paper referred to by our Correspondent, we intended for insertion be. fore we received his letter. The subject is so important in itself, and the name of Sir I[untrii►tY DAVY attaching an interest to every production of his philanthrophic spirit and scientific mind, we feel pleasure in presenting his valuable article this day to our Readers.

( Pram the Journal des Labatt 1, Friday. ) FRANKFORT, Auo. 20.—The votes of the different Mem bers of the Federal Diet, on the propositions of Austria, relative to the limits of the representative system, to the publicity of the proceedings in the Parliaments, to the Universities, and to the Press, merit the attention of politicians. A praiseworthy de sire may be remarked to escape from a state of things that is only provisional, and several declarations that are honourable to the frank character of the Germans. The following is the manner in which the votes were given CONCLUSION OF TILE EXTRACT OF TILE «217# SITTING OF THE DIET. PRUSSIA.--I adhere entirely to the whole contents of the proposition of the President, 'illicit has just been read, because my Court cannot fail to have the greatest interest, and take the greatest care in the preservation of those principles which have been adopted in concert, particularly in all which concerns m a hashdeg in vigour the Provisional Law for the Liberty of the Press, and consequently it expects with the same confidence us the Court of Austria, to see all the states of the Confedera , tion unite for the same object. Bay au lA.—The Bavarian Legation subscribes with grati tude to }Lathe Articles of the President's proposition, which it hue just heard read, anti particularly to the 4th Article relative to the abuse of the Liberty of the Press, viz. :—" That all the Governments of the Confederation will agree as soon us possible on an uniform system of regulations for the Press and Books, to be framed according to Article 18th of the Federative Act, and in the mean time; that the measures agreed to on this subject in the all Sitting of 1819, be maintains as they have hitherto been in all the States of the Confederation, and consequently also in the dominions of Bavaria." SAXOXY.—The Minister of Saxony is ordered to declare that his Sovereign accedes to the President's proposition, and his Majesty recognises with gratitude the solicitude for the ge neral welfare of Germany, which the Court of Vienna has again proved by this act, and the King promises the most zealous co operation to attain the object of the propositions. HastovEu..—The Royal Government of Hanover adheres wholly to the principles and views of the Court of Vienna. It has made them at all times the basis of the interior adminis tration of the country, and has carried them into execution in its system of legislation. It shares the wishes of his Majesty the Emperor for the future fate of Germany, for the preserva tion of principles anti of tranquillity, and for the welfare of ge nerations to come. The 'Government, therefore, subscribes to the President's propositions in every point. WI 11.

As to what concerns the 4th Art. relative to the renewal of the law of 1819 on the Press, it is the only one on which the Minister of Wirtemberg is provided with special instruction, and is autho. rived to declare hk That he accedes to the project of a General Meeting to maintain the provisional law of 1819 on the Press, till a definitive law can be made.' ' llaDEN.—The Legation is ordered to make the following declaration :--The Grand Duke has receioed from his subjects too many, proofs of their love and unalterable fidelity ; he has been too often convinced of their devotedness to his Go. vernment, and of the love of justice which characterises them, not to hasten, before all things, to render to his people a testimony, than the expression of which nothing can be more satisfactory to his heart. For the same reason, his Royal Highness must manifest his firm conviction, that the attempts of perturbators of the public peace, the plans 'of foreign demagogues, tending to overthrow the present state of things, will hare no effect whatever on the mass of his sub. jects; even although some of them, led astray by chimercial theories, depart from the road which has for once and all been traced for them by honour and duty. Ilia" Royal Highness nevertheless, acknowledges that the existence of such attempts, the proofs which have been produced do not permit him, union. tunately, to doubt the existence of an evil, a remedy for which cannot be too speedily found. The history of modern times has fully confirmed the truth, that by overturning the existing state of things, new evils are added, to those which already exist ; that contentment and happiness cannot exist as long as every man must every- day tremble for what he holds most dear and most sacred. His Royal Highness, therefore, thinks it his duty to adopt all the means which may serve to banish all the uneasiness which threatens incessantly private trap. quality, and takes from Governments that permanent secs. rity, the shelter of which alone places them in a condition to devote themselves with zeal and solicitude to promote the hap. piness of their subjects. In the propoeition mae by heat Pre. sident, the Grand Duke sees a new proof of the enligened care which the Emperor of Austria takes of the general wel. fare of the Germanic Confederation. As to what concerns its contents, his Royal Highness, faithful to the fundamental principles of the Confederation, has always had it at heart, to watch over the maintenance of the Monarchical principle in his dominions. He has rejected all the demands of the estates of the Grand Duchy not in harmony with this principle, and has strewn in this respect a firmness which does not permit a doubt that he will, in future, watch over the preservation of this principle. . The Grand Duke has regulated his conduct on the conviction that the Confederation can only be strength. ened by its different members never losing sight, in their (io vernment operations, of the system of the Confederation. Hi e Royal Highness, therefore, is ready to agree with the wishes of die Court of Austria, and to meet on the basis of a regula. tion, such as is atipulated by the final act of Vienna, with the other members of the confederation, whine sisuation is the same as his Royal Highness always acknowledges, as an ad. vantage of the Federal Legislation, that it is superior to the legislation of the individual States, whenever the latter cannot be brought into harmony with the resolutions of the Confede ration, and that by an executive regulation, provision has been made to complete those resolutions which arc within the corn. antence of the Confederation. The different defects of the 'Universities, and other places of public instruction; have not escaped the attention of the Grand Duke, and he has on all occasions endeavoured to remedy them us much as lay in his power. It cannot, nevertheless, be denied, that all isolated exertions are unavailing. The Universities are a benefit be- longing to all Germany, anti thus general measures are neces sary and urgent. His Royal Highness therefore readily gives his assent that the Committee of the Diet which formerly ex isted be re-appointed, and he adopts, as a point of course, that the provisional regulation agreed to by the Diet on Sept. 20, 1019, regarding the Universities, be maintained. The Go vernment of the Grand Duke has made it a point, from the beginning, to check - as much as possible the abuses of the Press in the Grand Duchy. He has been guided by the con viction, that union and tranquillity connot be preserved in the Confederation, it' each of its members be exposed to attacks the most audacious, from other States, without being able to oppose it_ by prompt and energetic measures ; that the literiiure of German y ought not to alienate the Germans from one another, and thus ferment germs of dissolution in the Confederation. On these considerations, and seeing that it is impossible to pass a definitive law before the 20th of September, his Royal Highness votes for the preservation of the provisional law on the Press of September 20, 1819. Finally, the results now presented of the last inquiry by the central commission furnish so many proofs of the continua tion in Germany of secret societies dangerous to the State, that his Royal Highness can but vote for the continuance of the inquiry, which, at all events, is a restraint to the evil disposed, and may hereafter be employed to extirpate the roots of the evil. THE ELECTORATE or HEssE.--Commanded by his Royal Highness to accede immediately to the proposition of the Pre sident, the Minister of the Elector of Hesse, in announcing this adherence, finds himself, by the development already giv . Cn to the reasons on which the propositions are founded, free from any necessity to enter into fresh details in this respect. Nothing is left for him but to unite in the same sentiments as the mem- bent who, in voting with him, have acknowledged with end. tude a new proof, in these propositions, of the cure of the Em. peror for the welfare of the Germanic Confederation, in order that these sentiments of gratitude may be expressed in the most solemn manner in the resolutions to be taken by the •Diet on this subject. GRAND DUCHY or llEssE.—His Royal Highness the Grand Duke acknowledges with gratitude, in the propositions now made by the President, a fresh proof of the benevolent so licitude which the Emperor of Austria has always displayed for the preservation of peace and order in the Germanic Confedera tion. His Royal Highness can see only with satisfaction this important object brought again under deliberation, at a time when the existence of associations, having for their object to overthrow the Confederation, and the Governments which compose it, cannot be doubted. They 'have not, indeed, reached a sufficient degree of maturity, to inspire serious alarms as to the interior security of the Confederation ; but they do not the less deserve the attention of all the German Governments in order to oppose to such attempts proper and energetic mea sures, while, if these measures are not taken, the boldness of the authors and accomplices in such schemes would increase every day, their number would rapidly augment, and. at length public tranquillity would be exposed to serious danger. Accord ing to every thing which has come to the knowledge of his Royal. Highness on these revolutionary intrigues lately disco vered, he has the consolation of presuming, even • though the reproach of having taken part in them will apply to some of his subjects, their number has been very inconsiderable. Never theless, entertaining the conviction, that measures taken in common by all the German Governments, and executed in one uniform manner in all the States of the Confederation, can all n alo alone d ol w u i t t i l o t n s s u cc n e e e s e s s , st h ir e y r t e o a d p i u l co nsents t t s o to ol all concur cri nl in i a y t an w Societies of this nature. The proposition of the President, re presented in a complete manner, anti discussed with a perspi cuity which leaves nothing to be wished, every thing which in this respect can be a subject of deliberation. The first point there mentioned is closely connected with the present state of the greater part of the Governments, with the tranquillity and prosperity of the people. The interest of the people requires that the Monarchical principle he firmly upheld as well as the interest of Princes, and on it depends the pre. nervation of the Confederation. In his quality of Member of the Confederation, and as a Sovereign, his Royal Ilighnessi considers it one of his most sacred duties to concur in every thing which in this respect shall be considered useful, on the part of the Confederation, according to the principles of its legislation ; a nd as th esei are sufficient justification of the president's propktion concerning the Constitution of States, the close relation of which, with the Monarchical prin ciple, cannot be unknown ; and as the proposition also only contains regulations already agreed to in the Final Act of the Ministerial conferences at Vienna, the execution of which be longs indubitably to the Di e t, hi s Royal Highness adheres entirely to it, and in this respect will not refuse what may be expected of hint. As to what concerns the defects of the Uni versities and other establishments for public instruction, .the Resolution of the Diet taken on September 20, 1819, in execu- i tion of which the Magistrates of the Grand Duchy have sits pplayed a great deal of zeal, has had such good effects in the dominions of his Royal Highness, that he can only desire its continuance, and at the same time, considers the Com mittee of the Diet mentioned in the proposition quite proper, and conformable to the object proposed. As to what concerns the Press, his Royal Highness's maxims of government before the Resolution of September 29, 1819, are well known, but the more he then felt the necessity of several restrictions on the Liberty of the Press, the less he should now be disposed to do them away under the present circumstances, because, in this res pect, the state of things has not undergone any essential change to render the measures then taken now super fl uous ; for, even with the existing restrictions, the propensity towards abusing the freedom of the Press, has been visible on several o c c asions, a nd the public mind is not yet sufficiently recovered from its ag itation, so as to leave nothing more to fear from the unlimited fteedom of the press. F uture experience will p eri d e cide at what od the present restrictions may be removed, or in what manner they may be modified. The utility of the Central c o mmission of Inquiry at Mayence has been incon testably proved. Such an authority can alone furnish the means for obtaining a coup d'ceil of all the conspiracies di rected against the Governments of the Confederation, of the intimate relations between these Governments, and of the means employed to preserve them. The same motives which dictated five years ago the establishment of this Commission still exist, and its provisional continuance can create no diffi. culty. The Minister is commanded to have the present decla ration inserted in the protocol, and to agree in all points to the presidial propositions. DENMARK, FOR HOLSTEIN AND LAUENHITRO.--The King recognises with gratitude, in the propositions of the hn. penal Court of Austria just communicated, an additional proof of the constant solicitude and Indefatigable zeal of the Empe. ror in securing order and repose among the German States, the dignity of their Governments, and the welfare of their people. His Majesty cannot manifest his sentiments in a more positive manner than by acceding entirely to all the propositions which have been made. NETHERLANDS, FOR THE DUCHY OF LUXEMBERG.-- Continually sensible of the sacred obligation imposed on him by the King, his Master, always to communicate, and to vote in the bosom of this august assembly in the true federative spi rit, as it reigns in his instructions, the Minister of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg would fear to make himself responsible to his master, if he did not eagerly join, particularly on the present occasion, the unanimous expression of gratitude to wards the Imperial Court of Austria, which watches with at. tention truly great, and a foreseeing solicitude over the general good of the Confederation ; and if lie did not declare himself formally and perfectly in accord, as he now 'does, in the name of his Majesty, with the new and signal proof which has just been given of this case, and if he did not agree to all the points of the proposition. GRAND DUCHIES OF SAXONY.—The Minister of the Grand Ducal and Ducal Houses of Saxony, finds the propositions of the President, concerning the Constitutions of States, only re new the laws already existing, and he therefore believes himself authorised to accede to them. He is, however, commanded, in the name of Saxe Weimar, to make the following decla. ration, agreeably to the Federative Act, to the 57th article of the Final Act of May 15, 1820 (Bth June) :=—ln the sense and spirit of the Constitution given to the Duchy, the Grand Duke will never permit, -that in the manner of applying the fundamental law of May 5, 1016, either in its separate articles or in the whole of its contents, or on the part of the estate or the authorities of Government, any other point of view should be adopted than the following prin ciple :—All the sovereign authority remains united in the Supreme Head of the State, and the Sovereign cannot be restrained by a constitution of estates to co-operate with them but in the exercise of some rights already deter. mined. But the more the limits which result from this principle for the attributes of the estates have been faithfully the estates of the Grand Duchy, and exactly observed by . , the less it has been hitherto necessary tratti?s t. limits more precisely. As to what concerns the . p ubli cat io n only the protocol: of the Assembly of the Estates, ic h thethe y pub. licity acknowledged by the Constitution, there exists a regula. constitutionally tion, which, having been en acted, agrees, on th e one hand, with the relations of the Grand Duchy, and, on th e ot h e r, cannot give any reason for uneasiness.
