FOlt THE SUN. The same excuse which we have made for the RepoblicaniAn of two great and good men, MIL TON and Sir WILLIAM JONES, will apply also to many others, who, in the enthusiasm of their studies, omitted to distinguish the ab surdity of ancient politics, from the sublime pro ductions of ancient genius. A more temperate and considerate view of the Governments of Athens anti Rome has at length convinced all unpvejudieed minds, that nothing could less de serve the imitation of other nations, than the systems of those people. At once turbulent and oppressive, they neither promoted the happiness of tech or poor. Always agitated by.factious de magogth 3, the lower orders were perpetually misled into the grossest injustice and ingratitude. The oppressed pat t of these States, was io fact, the rich, whom no length of services tool(' protect from poplar injustice, spoliation, and even con demnation. The very name of free, was com pletely misapplied Sc, States, in which one-half or more of the population, was in ac:ud and severe slavery. The whole classes, which we acknowledge under the name of servants, and.the majori!y of artisans, were liable to be 'soltf like cattle, and gild their very lives at the disposal of their tyrant Masters. Nor, though the.acensa• tion include a large part of the American States, can we allow those People to be reti Friends to Liberty, who encourage and maintain domestic Slaver-. Friends to their own Liberty, they may be, hut at the same time no less so to their own Tyranny. But there is a large class of Persons, not at all sedoced by Classital or arty other Li erature, whom we may fairly hold excused for having Republican feelings, or being seduced into Re publican principle , . I mean the populace. Ig norntt of the many proofs which History pre sents, that the abuse of Liberty leads directly to t!esyoti-m ; and stimulated on the other but by the passions continuo to our nature, they have . little protection against the artifices of those'who would urge them to throw off nestraitit. Potter, influence, exaltation, how desirable, to every human being ! How delightful to the poor man, to he :old, that he ought to be rich ! To have all his ditties swallowed up in his imaginary rights ; to have the first men of his time for his flatterers and sycophants ! Nothing but the soundest philo. soppy, or the still more pure and excellent precepts of religion could enable him to tesist such tempts tions ; and of these the former is above iris reach, and the latter studiously kept out of hts sight by his corruptors. If, then, the poor man becomes a Republican, the fault may not be in his heart or in his temper, hut in the frailty of his nature, which is worked upon by the worst of men, for the most detestable of purposes. Forgiving the deceived, as far as any candour can demand, :he accusation recoils with tenfold force tyros the base and guilty deceivers. It fall s with its otmost weight upon the party who have called themselves Whigs; who, to force their own way to !tower, have been employed for thirty years past in circulating Republican doctrines among the people, in vilifying every Administra. don, in which they did not bear a part; and in holding up our ancient, venerable, and happy in stitutions, to contempt and hatred. They have overshot their mark, and have themselves become i n v o k e d in the hatred, which they laboured to excite against their envied rivals. While they sought to administer the Government, they have run the hazard of having no Government left to administer. The Republican weapons have been wrested from their hands by coarse and desperate men, to be wielded, if they could prevail, for the common destruction) of iVbigsas well as Tories. In this most perilous state, they still seem blind to their error; and with a lust of power which is not regulated even by common sense, continoe to throw fresh sparks among the combustible mate rials, by which themselves would probably be the first to be blown into the air. Some noble and most honourable exceptions there are, of men who, recognizing the true prin ciples of our Constitution, have given their p.wer.- ful aid to its snpport and durability ; but it is most lamentable to think how many have done other wise ; and have not feared to flatter and cm:mi rage the Republican spirit, thoug h its triumph would have sealed their doom.

I have read with much satisfaction, the Reso lutions io feivour of Sir WILLtAm CUUTIS, and of his re-election to the high trust which he so ho nourably and so usefully fulfilled. I regret, how ever, that they have gone no further ; and that more extensive measures have not been taken for the rescue of the Metropolis. On these topics I shall shnrtly enlarge : being entirely persuaded, that London ought to be re presented in the ImperiAl Legislature by her most OPULENT, EXPERIENCED, and INTELLIGENT MER CHANTS. • The LORD MAYOR and Sir WILLIAM CURTIS are peculiarly ; and to Mr. SON HO sort of objection can be made. Surely one other can be found Ito maintain the honour of our City ; and to restore her to her former cre dit. I pnt Mr. THORPE, as every body else does, wholly out of the question;—but while there is no sort of danger from him, we may certainly find in London more respectable Citizei,s than a Mea surer of Mull Muslins, and a Pounder of Brewer's Drugs. TENA X. FOIL THE SUN. THE ORIGIN AND IMPROVEMENT OF GOVERNMENT. (No. II.) MR. EntTott---The revolution in States, and changes of Govt.; nments, were the effects of na tural causes within, but on the increase of men, various external causes produced Republics and absolute Monarchy. In the Republican form there are inherent defects. It is of an elastic na ture, and, while compressed, its resistance is great, as the result of virtue. If small, it wants the powers of defence, and it large, it wants inherent tranquillity. It may exist in miniature, as among Arcadian shepherds, but the subjects are below their size, and ever in danger of foreign inva sion. ' They are quiet.and careless. A large Re public, like Carthage, in its decline is a mere hydra, or a monster whose tail is its head, and is a victim to itself. A large aristocracy is tull of jea lousy, and has at times a sullen tranquillity, but is liable w be destroyed by some overwhelming spirit, or shaken into a •femocracy, which ends iu tyranny. Uucompounded Republics, if large enotiOt io defend themselves, have a tendency progression, and make them foes to the rest of the world. To preserve their own peace they corrupt the minds and mariners of the subjects. Holland is sonic exception, which is rather a great trading company, governed by Directors, and headed by a Chairman. t is equally absurd now to suppose a Republic void of merit, as it was during the 'league of Charles the Second with the King of France, to destroy Holland with religion, and liberty in Eng land ; yet to call - a man a Republican, was thought a compliment, meaning a person who consulted the welfare of all ranks in the Nation, who detested the claim of a pretender to the Throne, who was a lover of the Revolution, and the succession in the House of Hanover. But things are changed, and whosoever doubts the prOpriety of, or opposes public measures, is a Re publican leveller ; forgetting or not knowing that the western hemisphere owes the art of commerce, navigation, and mechanics to the Republics of Pbeilicia; the alt of war to Sparta ; the - art of elegance to Athens ; and time art of victory to the Romans ; though they each contained some root ed evil, and were imperfect. The Swiss or Hel vetic cantons, as a compoundeld Republic, is the most perfect of all, and though they are in general Papists, it evinces that their absurd religion may co-operate, and mix with liberty as in Scotland, where the Presbyterean mode of worship does with a limited Monarchy. Few others have end ed so happily. Most of them became subjects to an absolute Monarch. A tyrant of a vital State may know something of his people, and whom to trust ; but a tyrant of a large one, only knows a minor part of those he governs through fear, by men whom he bates. Au absolute Monarchy is mitigated despotism, of which a slavish submission to the Monarch is the soul. Charles the Ninth of France, haying set an example of assassination, his two imme diate successors were murdered, and all the vir tues of Henry the Fourth were required to restore peace to the nation, which for fifty years atter . was continually in arms. Let Princes who wish to be absolute, or to govern by a Constitution like the lit itish, pause and .rcfleo, that within (lie last sixty-five years, an Emperor and three Kings were wounded by assassins. _ _ Some there are who contend that the British Constitution is not to their liking, because is is too free, and because they do not receive still dent respect as gentlemen from the sturdy pea sant, or jocular mechanic. It is incumbeot on these haughty beings to prove that they deserve respect, by having shown any to law or rergion, wisd om or common sense. Until when, let:hem continue as ignorant of the British Covet iment, as they ore of their duty to God and man. It hits been said, that no Country but BHan !tas a Consiitution, expressly combining law-, di recting who shaii govern, and how; and prier the sancti , ,n of a settled mode of redress apinst those iviio act contrary to their spi-rit. Tl)evord Conscitwioti is of amide meaning, and sh,.l be explained in the next Number. CIO. FOR THE SUN.
