TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, On P.V ING the C,ur;er of yeverday, a letter si by .ot ¶ )/d 4tivi.it.4 t!!e meal's to 131 A .k u. Boo: si! king ve,sels at the Mouth of that Harh-ur, witilout questioning the best inteoti,•ns of its au+. r, I beg permission (tit - o'l4h your p‘iper) to cas, lit.le accords with the Ar leo! pes, zeal us energy, and aftive spirit to ~,ite stel a t !his :noment , tts crisis by our &aye Tars, who, I will venture to assert; pant for the rn nrnen, when the Enemy dare emerge from their 11:titl,m recesses—though clouding the ocean with 'Limbers, And clad in all that Consular temerity, pomp and folly could provide to array them, the general wish of British Sailors is a speedy view of the boasted Flot;Ila ; no Blockade. but what they cmn fOrm a part of ; no danger to their Country but what they can court, or enterprize but what. they can join in the attempt. Another circumstance i,.duces me to be thus troublesome to you: I am partly a Sailor, Sir, and well do I know our Gra cious Sovereignhath not in his dominions SubjeCts_ with hearts more loyal, minds more valiant, err stils more truly noble, than genuine British Sea men ; it therefore provokes my indignation, that even an Enemy should dare to sully their fair fame. The libellous, lying, and infamous Maniteur bath audaciously presuibed to assert, that British Tars should rejoice at being subjeft to French Slaves ; what, Sir, animated by the ardour and perseverance of our Countrymen on shore, inspired by the love of that King, who pays and provides for us (who is willing to resign his own comfort to share his Sub_ jests' anxiety and toil), rewarded by the applause of a grateful Country, led to glory by our Command_ ers, to wealth and fame by our success; could it for a moment be thought we wish to eat the black bread of France, or bend under the galling yoke of C,rsican Despotism ! No ; on the contrary, recol idling all that is dear to us as men and as Britons, fully am I persuaded when that moment arrives which calls us to aetion, our Country's confidence will he rewarded by such - exertions, as under the blessings of Providence, have founded Britain's glory, will confirm our fame, and ensure the ap, plause and admiration of the wurd.

SOLEM QUIS DICERS lALSUM ALDEAT ? LONDON, JA NUARY ]9, 1804. We were happy to learn this morning, that Hi s MAJESTY had bad a very good night, and is con. siderdbly relieved from the pain in his foot. Num. bers of the Nobility and others made a call of in. quiry after His M4JE.TY this mornipg at Bucking. ham.house. TAR dispute in the Southwark Volunteer _Corps commanded byColonel TIERNEY, involves a ques. ticui. Very__ interesting to the whole Volunteer system, and-therefore is entitled to very particular attention-and consideration. Mr r , TtERNEY, - from the influence which his official situation naturally gives him, has induced Ministers to side with him, without 'their having, in our opinion, sufficiently weighed the importance of the question, or the con sequences which such a decision is likely to produce. We are far frrn wishing - tO discuss the propriety of the right of chusing o,fliceis remaining with the -privates of a particular Company, or of a whole Corps;-,-ii is perhaps unmilitary that it should_be so vested, but that' such is the case in most of the 'Vo lunteer Corps t . ,hroughoer, the Kingdom, no doubt whatever can be entertained. Whether this right is specified or not , in the original Resolutions of Vo lunteer Corps, it has alWays been considered as belonging to them, and has been ailed upon uni. formly in almost all. The Light Horse Volunteers of London and Westminster, we, believe the oldest, and certainly, one of the most respeftahle of the Volunteer Corps in the Empire, the Royal West minster Volunteers, and many others that might be enumerated, to the present hour have been in•the pradice of filling up :all vacancies fox ()deers by a ballot of the ?whole Corps. Nay, we believe that the Royal Artillery Company, at the head of which stands hiS Royal Highness the PRINCE of NVALas, and who are an incorporated body by Royal Charter, not%onlY eled their own Officers by ballot of the whole Corps, but their eledion we understand is annual, the privates thus having an opportunity of dis Missing, at t!:e end of each year, any Officer that inaY be obnoxious to them. This having been the piaaiee then, it surely was the duty of Ministers to pause, before, by giving their sariCtion and ap : probation to the - conduct of Colonel TIERNEY. (in *hicit to say no, worse of it, cot/ciliation forms rv.) very prominent feature), they altered wholly the Volunteer syscem, -We cannot suppose Cut Mr. ADDINGTON was any party to the anelion which Ministers have given upon this occ to the change which now must take place in the appointment of Y Ul6 lICCCE Otficrrs, for if we recollea right, it was the only iroment which he could adduce against Mr. PITT'S prooosition for appointing a Field Officer to each Corps of a certain complement, from the Line, that such a measure would probably give offence to the Volunteer's, as they at present were officered, and which he considered as an excellent part of their constitution, 'wholly by i tersc;ns cf Heir frzun ‘chusiv. We cannot but regret that the question should have arisen at the present moment in such a way, and should have been so decided without due con sideration. So satisfied are we however of the loyalty, zeal and ardour of the whole mass of Vo lunteers in the cause of their Country against the common Enemy who now threatens us with itnme. diate Invasion, that we are certain no change in their original constitution, nor any discouragement which Government may impolitically and unadvisedly .chew, will have any effea in damping that patriotic spirit which first led them to associate themselves in arms, and upon the continuance of which asso ciation the 'safety of the Country at the present moment so essentially depends. Yesterday Has MAJESTY gave an audience to Mr. ADDING roN for a considerable time. Yesterday a Court of. Direecors was held at the East India House, when Capt. CHARLES JoNEs took leave previous to departing for Bombay. The Court adjourned at six o'clock till Wednes_ day next. The Sr. Margaret's and St. John's Westminster Volunteer Corps, yesterday marched Iron their parade, Westminster. Hall, to Clapham Comm n, where they had a grand Field-day in honour of HER MAJESTY'S Birth-day. The Earl of DARTMOUTH, Colonel of the Loyal Birmingham Volunteers, has ordered a picquet, - of I Captain, 2 Subalterns, 3 Serjeants, t Corporal, z Drummers, and so Privates, to parade every Mon_ day morning, and to consider themselves on duty for the week. They must not leave the town, but always be ready to parade at a quarter of an hour's notice, in case they should be caiied on by their Offi. cer or the Magistrates of the town. A Field-Officer for the week is also to be appointed. Major-General STUART, who so gallantly led on the foreign Brigade to the support of the 42d Regi. ment in Egypt, on the memorable 2ist of March, has arrived at Brabourn Lees,, and taken the sum mand of a Brigade, under General Moottr. The troops who are so fortunate as to be under the corn. mand of these distinguished heroes are inspired with a ;eal and confidence, that, we trust, will add fresh glory to their names, should the Enemy dare to visit any part of the Kentish Coast. Brigadier-General MANNINGHAM has arrived at Dover, and takes charge of the Brigade, lately under general G4gEix, who sets off for the West Indies. Eastware Bay, near Dover, which has hitherto been considered as accessible to an invading foe, owing to its flat shore, and totally unfortified state, besides being advantageously situated for drawing u p an army after a landing had been efrefted, is now put into such a good state of deferce, as to have no. thing to fear from the attempt of the enemy. From Cape Point, for the space of more than a quarter of a ipile, a moat has been dug, about fifteen feet deep, and at the extremity of the point two guns, 18- pounders, are mounted, and a number of soldiers, a re now employed in making the necessary prepaiations for mounting several more. The Cliff, as far a s Folkstone, has been cut away in every place where it was possible to ascend, it. General MopRE ha s been, indefatigable in his exertions to forward its completion. The - Earl of MOIRA has ordered, that in future the allowance granted •by His MAJESTY, for the billeting of Soldiers, being nine.pence per week, or ope penny per day for shorter periods, for each. Nop-coompissioned Officer apa shall in fu. ture be paid by the Billet-masters of towns. The billet to be presented to them as evidence of the time fog which the lodging money is due. `The remainder of the '3Olll lt,egitnent landed . in Dublin yesterday s'ennight . By a letter from Malaga, dated the 4th of D e _ cember, it appears, that at the beginning of the p month the deaths were from So to ro a day. Th e Yellow or American Fever had been nearly, if n ot entirely, subdued some time before ; but the reigning disorder was occasioned by the arrival o f a French ipfeeted vessel about the latter end o f November. We can, however, assert with confi dence, that when the last advices came away, the fever had entirely subsided ; and for the Satisfaaion of the British Merchants concerned in the Malaga Trade, a certificate to that died has been sent to this Country from the Board of Health of that place. The small ships'of 559 tons, built according to A 6 of Parliament, for the purpose of proceeding to and from India, with goods belanging to individuals, are getting ready with all dispatch. Last year thirteen ships of this description sailed to. India, prinCipally new ones. - . . The total amount of the Revenue ceded by His Highness the PE 'SHWA to the lion. the East-India Company, in perpetuity, amounts to the sum of 775,0001. The Territory is very-contiguous to our own Possessions, and is very valuable in point .of situation. • • The . new Fish:market, which for sorne.time rst his been building at Billingsgate, is dearly finishet', and . affords a commodious kituation for the dal e; who attend there. To-morrow, the Admiralty Sessions will he hell at Justice Hall, in. the Oid aiiley, before Sir Wi t ,: LIAM , Bar t. for: the•trial of Pa, C:q3 c um. Int( - ( .

YESTERDAY being the Anniversary on which the Festival in honour of the Birth of our most gracious and truly amiable QUEEN, who completed her 59th year on the 19th of May last, the same was observed with the usual splendour and magnificence. The morning, as is customary, was ushered in with merry peals from the different steeples, flags were flying from the same places, and the standards of the United Kingdoms from thti ,Tower, and other public buildings; and the most lively and general expressions of loyalty and attachment were jnanifest ed by all ranks of people to HER. MAJESTY. At one o'clock, the 6a guns on the Tower Wharf ,were discharged - , and 59 in St. James's Park, being as many as HER MA; EsTY is years old. Soon- after nine o'clock the ROYAL FAMILY breakfasted in the room adjoining the Japan Room, and while they. were. at breakfast, a Concert was performed in the Japan Room, by HER. MALESTY'S Band.. A German Hymn, Sing and" Rejoice, from the.Oratario of Gidran ; the Hallelujah Chorus, and several other favourite pieces, were performed. The DUKES Of YORK, KENT, and CAMBRIDGE breakfasted with THEIR MAJESTIES. The DUKE Of CAMBRIDGE had his arm in a sling, which he unfortunately injured while hunting, but it appear ed much better. Hrs MAJESTY soon after breakfast, not finding himself sutficienily recovered from his rheumatism, signified his intention of not attending HEli MA. JEsTY's Drawing-room, because while lie was there he must be upon his legs four or five hours, which he felt himself unable to do. During the morning, the DUKE. of CLAR E NCR,. the PEI NC Ess CHAR LoTTE of WALES, attended by Lady ELGIN, die DUKE of GLuUCE•TER, and a number of persons of distiktion, paid their respe&s to HER MAJESTY. Numbers of the Nobility, 4e. left their names, as enquiring after His MAJESTY'S health, which, we are happy to say, was never bet ter, with the exception of a slight attack of the rheumatism. About a quarter before one o'clock, HER MA- J ESTY, anti the f.ur elder Pt INC ESSES, left the OUEEN's House for St. James's Palace, where, in a short time after their arrival, the Attcuntstior of CANTERBURY was introduced to the Royal private apartments, and delivered an oration of congratula tion to HES, MAJESTY, on the happy return of the day. _ . This being the first Drawing Room this year, pursuant to the Charter of King CHARLES the lid. touVing a School at Christ's Hospital, for educat ing forty Boys for the Sea Service, the Scholars ap peared, with their Master, Mr. ,GWYNNE. at their head, in the Anti-Chamber, holding in their hands books and drawings, the progress each had made in N.utical Mathematics. On the entrance .of HER MAJESTY and PRINCESSES into the Anti,Chamber, leading to the Drawing Room, Sir J. W. ANDER SON, the P res id ent , an d JAMES P ALMER , E sq . t h e Treasurer, p resente d the +o boys, none of them ex. ceeding 17 years of age. HER MAJESTY and Pit IN. c EssEs were pleased to examine several of their drawings ant books, and were graciously pleased to express their Royal approbation of the progress they had made. Tilt' President held in his hand a list of the youths, their ages, &c. It likewise contained a list of those who have gone out of the school du ring the last seven years, and what professions they had been put to ; it was most elegantly printed and wrapped in gold paper ; but the charter requiring it to be delivered to His MAJESTY, it was not pre sented. The Rod AL FAMILY then • proceeded to the Drawing,foom, _and t h e entrance o f fint NIA)EsTY being announced: by the Marquis of SALIsBu" - ', the LORD C4A.MPERLAIN, by having his wand of Office to Sir WILLIIVA PARSONS, 'the ' Master of His Majesty's Band, wri‘a_was amending-ia an adjoin , ing Room behind the Throne with a selea Band, when the performance of the Ode immediately began (see our . -Paper of yesterda;) ; at the express desire (A . His MAJE S TY, the Music • from the Works of HANDEL, was adapted to it by Sir WILLIAM PAR SONS. It commenced with the Overture to Rinaldo, which was very pleasing. ,An - Air 'followed, by Master SMITH, one of the young Gentlemen of His Majesty's Chapel Royal, Mr, WELSH gave a most charming Air, ilinadigio, very correttly, and was highly''coinplimented by Sir W. PARSONS. Mr. W. KNYVETT had . a.very pleasing Air . from Rinaldo, which exaaly suited his alto voice, which he . executed in his 'best manner, The Ode concluded with a Chorus from the same Opera.. We highly commend the taste of Sir W. Paasoris, in selecting the iisic,' principally from the Opera of Rinaldo, as it, like the new Music of that great Master, HANDEL, has not been published, and the only Manuscript was in the possessiOn of the late Dr. ARNOLD, who presented the score to Sir W. PAR_ SONS, a short time previous .to his death.
