TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIX, PERMIT me to congratulate you on the good effeds already produced by your Publication of my former Letter, in which, however, there was an error either of mine or the Printer's, for respreiable should have stood respelyid. On Sunday last 1, in common with my neighbours, was delighted with the orderly demeanor of the men whose for, miscondutt had suggested my Letter. After Service, I took an opportunity to compliment the Colonel, who is a most worthy excellent man, when he produced your Paper, which he had received by the Post, and v!ry candidly expressed his sur. prize that the circumstances should never have struck him before ; and assured me, that he had great pleasure given a standing order, which he should never relax from, " that the men should be properly arranged before the Service began, be ordered to stand during all such parts of the S'er. nice as by the rubric are Xs-died to bi attended to standing or kneeling, anti by no means to leave the Church until the Commanding °Per of the day should set the example, who was direlled not to move until a reasonable time should have been allowed for the rest of the Congregation to de. part." The worthy Colonel assured me than he had no doubt that your hint would he very gene rally adopted by other Officers, to whom the matter had not occurred before. I am, Sir, Yours, A CHRISTIAN SOLDIER. Sept. 8. TO THE EDITOR. ills R, ON my arrival very lately in Town I was cre.. tlihly informed that the Secretaries of the Treasury were must actively employed in circulating a Pamphlet which had for its °hien chiefly to ca. lumniate and blacken the charatier of Mt. PITT.— Mr. ADDINGTON himself, I was told, (most gene rous& I) did nct interfere. I had no difficulty-in accounting for this condud from the influence of the new friends of the Administrati o n, w h o seem always to have had f . or their objeel to create a tool separation between Mr. PITT and Mr. ADDING- ToN, and indeed their whole political conduft has turned upon this separation. The bitterest enemies of Mr. ADDINGTON'S Administration have not laughed at it, or treated it with more contempt than two, of these new friends—One, it is well remembered, represented it in the House of Commons as an Administration (without brains ; and he continued his jokes and sneers at the Dollar (as he himself dubbed him, and as he now calls him) till within a short time of the prorogation of Parliament, when he turned short about, found him to be, instead of a quack, a most excellent State Physician, and that his Prescriptions„ instead of containing any thing at all naliStollf or detrimental, were most palatable and (wholesome for the Constitution. An - uther Se nator also had made the same disci very a short time before. •', He swallowed the Doaor's Pills, and a great many of them too, with great avidity, but for what reason it is not known, he could not be prevailed upon to take them unless they were all gilt. If I were to wish Mr. ADD INOTONisy of his new Friends, I should wish him that which I fear he will never receive, and my Congratulations would be considered as snee rs.--Up to the present period the 'opinions . of Mr. ADDINGTON, and those per sonally connected with him, have been diametrical ly opposite - to those of some of these new Friends, and can any man believe that there now exists any similarity of sentiment between 'them ? What then is the bond of Union ? The separation of Mr. Pitt and Mr. Addington. Is this an honourable ground of connection ? Is it a politic one on the part of Mr. ADDI NOToN ? Is it one from which the Na. tion is likely to derive benefit ? Whether Mr. ADD I NGToN, after having been nurtured and brought up in. the Political School of Mr. PlTT—aher hay..• ing been placed by him in the Chair of the House of Commons, and having derived all his political con sequence.from him, can readily forget these obliga. tions ?—can associate with Men whose principles he himself has always condemned ?—can bider such, Men to have an influence over' him, and can see with complacency that Influence direded to blacken the Charader of his earliest and best Friend ?—are questions of a serious nature, and which shall be ex amined hereafter. Mr. ADDI NCITON must be a man of the most un. suspicious simplicity, if he has not long diicoveted the schemes which have been planned, and the un. remitted endeavours which have been made by some of his dun personal Friend:, together with a few of the uhf Opposition, to force him to !freak with Mr. ADDIN VON has at length fallen into the snare, ,and by so doing he has lost the con. fidenee of many persons formerly attached to him. is looked upon as having been guilty, of a political Apostacy, from which it was thought his Character would have preserved him, and he has rendered it difficult for any, and impossible for most of the persons attached to the Principles of Mr. Pm to give hint any support. Whether the Men. surer of Government under the secret controul t h e new influence have hitherto been, or are likely to be directed to the benefit or advantage of the Coun. try, are points which shall form the subject of fu ture discussion, I am, Sir, Yap; obedient Servant, TO Tll4 4DITOR OF THE SUN. A. B.

COnKOIS • . . • THE SUN. 1101.114 QUIZ DICSIS PaLiUllll ♦VDL*Y ? LONDON, SEPTEMBER to, 0103. A report was circulated yesterday, that Sir SYD• Net Stu t Tl 4 had made good a landing at Cherbourg with the Troops under the command of Major Gen. MOORE, and had succeeded in destroying the Gun. boats, &c. but that two of the Regiments had been cut off. We do not believe that the Brigade under General Moo It E haireven yet embarked, at least we have received no intimation of the kind from our intelligent Correspondent at Deal, or any other of the Ports. It is confidently said, that Lord Kt vrit , will command the Nival Department of the Expe. dition ; if so, we may be assured that the Land Force will consist of more than one Brigade. A Gottetthrgh Mail arrived this morning. It brings no Intelligence of importance. We this morning received LetterA and Papers from Dill& of the 6th inst. Felix Rourke, one of the Leaders of ,the Insurreftion, was on shat day tried and convieted. Redmond, who had shot him. self on the preceding day, was still alive. IF all those who urge the Ministers to measures which it is obvious to every person but themselves they ,ought to take, are to be considered as their Enemies, we are certainly amongst that number, but we will venture to assert that if they had at. tended to our suggestions, their credit in the Coun. try would not have been at so low an ebb as it evidently is. We warned them . to take steps, at an early period, with respect to ilanower.. We pressed them to declare War against Holland tome weeks before it was dune. We have repeatedly told them that they mu be at War with Spain sooner or' later, and the sooner the better for the Country. We know well what has passed' upon 'this occasion, and on the part of Spain the objed has been only to gain time, and secure her Trade. The Spanish Minister has talked of Neutrality, and he has urged as a reason for forbearance, slut the moment War was declared against Spain, Portugal would fall. But who is there, except the Mini. titers, who think that forbearance can be effectual ? A vigorous Administration would have sent Troops to the defence of ..eartusa/ at the beginning of the War, and began hostilities against Spain, unless the , Convention of 1796 between that Power and France had been formally annulled, and effectual security obtained for the preservation of stria Neutrality. But the Cabinet has decided upon War with Spain one day, and Peace the next, and they have remained in this state of timid indecision till they have enabled the Merchants of Spain to bring home to their Ports their valuable trade--till the Register Ships are arrived in safety, and per. haps till it is too late to give effectual assistance to Portugal. We see in this, as indeed we do in many other of the transactions of the Government, much more to pity than to condemn. We hope a fair chance will be given to the Country success. fully to extricate itself from its difficulties. The best chance would be that which would he afforded by the formation of A STRONG ADMINISTRATION' The state of Ireland still continues to excite the interest of every person attached to the welfare of the Empire, and whenever Parliament meets, it is expeded that the whole stilled will undergo a stein investigation. There is now no doubt any where that the Government was tale): by surprizt.—Ac. counts had been received from all quarters of the intended Insurrettion, but so totally void of sus. picion upon this point were the persons entrusted with the management of Public Affairs, that all in. formation upon the subjeet was looked upon as pro. ceeding either from the credulous or disaffeded. It happens upon this as upon most occasions in which blame so evidently attaches somewhere, that each Person who is implicated is endeavouring to shift it from himself. The LORD LI RtITINANT, Lord PE LH t 4, General lox, and Mr. MAR SD EN. are all in their turns the subjels of reproach, and are said in a great degree to criminate each other, General Fox is the first person to be sacrificed, and is to be sue. (=led by Lord CAthemt.T. It happenl4 strangely enough, that he is the only person whom, upon the occasion, Mr. ADDINCTON defended, for, upon its being insinuated in the House of Commons, that there was possibly some remissness on the part of the Commander in Chief, Mr. ADDINCTON imme. diately assured the House that every thi* possible was done in that quarter, for the Guard was\tioxlleri. We have a high reaped for General Fox, and we cannot admit, because he is displaced, that any blame attaches upon him. If, however, upon in. vestigation, he should appear to have been negli. gent, we are sure that that is not the only quarter on which such an imputation may be fixed. On Thursday afternoon his Royal Highness the DUKE of YORK arrived at Windsor from London, and dined with THRIR MAJESTIES. In the even. ing the Royal Family walked on the Terrace, where they were very numerously attended, and af. terwards THEIR MAJESTIRS gave a grand Enter. tainment in the new Music.room in the Castle on the occasion of their.

The entertain. ment was High Life Below Stairs. The performance was for the Benefit of Mrs. GLov ER ; the sight of Royalty is so very novel in the North, that it is needless to add the House overflowed in every part, and the attradion produced Mrs. GLOVER lOW* more than the ordinary receipts of the House. A crowd assemble s f rom morn i ng till night round the: Hotel where his Royal Highness resides. The PRINCE has taken a house, about a mile out of Liverpool, on the Ormskirk.road,, belonging to Mr. SPARL ISO, which is furnishing with all pos. sible expedition.

On Friday next, the two Regiments of Life - Guards and the Oxford Blues are to he reviewed to. gether before Hts MAJESTY, on Wimbledon Corn. mon. In order to be pedal in their manoeuvres; and to accustom themselves to each other, these three Regiments have been pradising together at different times on that . place, for a f ortnig h t past, under the insPeaion of Lord CATHCART. Yesterday morning the Lotto MAYOR, accom. panied by Earl MAR R I NGTON, reviewed the Far . ringkion Ward Within Volunteer Association, in Moorhen's, and expressed his highest satisfadion at so large a body of men handling their arms with so much alacrity, and remaining so steady after every motion.
