TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, .A great deal too much appears to me to have been said in your Paper, and in several others re. speCling a Pamphlet* which is considered as a sort of Ministerial Manifesto, and which has been re presented as written, or , at least as circulated, at the desire of Mr. ADDIV;TON. Now, Sir, you may depend . npon it that Mr. ADDINGTON has not Concerned himself at all in this matter, and, from particular circumstances, knowing a good deal' about this Pamphlet, I wish to set you right upon the subjeff. . • The Pamphlet was written by Mr. B --Y, and certainly it is not improbable. that Mr. B--it may have stated in conversation some of the Materials on Which parts or it ate founded. If any other of Mr. ADIUNCTOti's Friends furnished any of the fads, or supposed faEts, it could not have been done with the . intention .that they should be made the use- of which. we have, witnessed. Mr. the Author is known to have been for several .years past a,Newspaper Writer, and is the petson who wrote the very 'strong attacks upon Mr. PITT, in the Newspaper called The Times, for some time after Mr. PITT quitted Office. Report says that some persons conneaed with that Newspaper having re. monstrated with Mr. xespeaing the dailyabuse he so lavishly heaped, upon a pisson in. whose corn enendltion had formerly written {SO Much, ; replied that he had tic) much pleasure:in abusing P. for hiving,disappointe;d,bitn,in some obj i eft in the course of , hits Administr,atiOn, that if he, was not permitted to continue that sort of attack, he would rot wrire at all. _ Mr. B— at one time doubted wheiher he should be ahle to and any well.kßovin 11 - c)o,kseller to pub. lish hif Cursory, Relnar:lf.

The Bombardment of Calais began again early . this morning, and continued till two this afternoon, very heavy but it being very hazy on the French Coast, nothing could be discerned, nor has any in. telligence been yet received from thence. The above the Public may depend upon being the latest and most authentic accounts received from the Coast respeting the operations of our Squadrons. We will riot, like some of our Cotemporaries, fa. bricate accounts of the Enemy's force in their Ports, or of the achievements of our own Ships and Vessels of War, for the pupose of operating upotrthf fears or credulity of a British Public. It is our aim to furnish the earliest and most authentic in. fotrnation, of passing events; those in which the internal peace and the political existence of our ' Country are concerned, are surely too serious to admit of a wanton display of ingenuity, or the ~ovcrcharged colouring of falsehood. , !This tnorning a Mail arrived from Dublb:, with Papers of the 26th, but they are barren of in telligence.

Those built in Holland are stranger and more sea-worthy. In the latter, the men would lie completely protened against musketry by the height of tae sides,,; but they are very ill adapted to the stnalleit..grapple. There are a great number indeed on theistocks, but very fe,w ready for sea. in 'the opinioniolMajor MACKENZIE, the French cannot now hazard,an,sttack upon England, .Letters received by the bit- Mails from the Con. tinent continue to state the' immense pieparations for the Invasion of this Country. We have no doubt of-an. immense Army - being ready, but the question is hOW are they to be' transported hither? Fifteen or twenty thothaod maybe crammed into boats, but these are - but a small propnrtion, and certainly inadequate to attain :my object. • A s no partieulari are'generally known, respeft_ ing the injury 'sustained at Grimy;lle, by tit l e attack .of Sir J.

The French Govecnment made -very'great pure chases of hemp, sail-cloth, tar, timber, and other naval stores in Russia in the early part of.the year ; and, having little 'credit, they were under the ne cessity of paying ready money for them.,....yet, to this hour, they have not been able to get the stares home to France. The seas are so aaively watched by Lord KEITH, that a single vessel cannot escape his cruizers.
