THE SUN REVIEW. (No. XLVIJL) Letter on the. Tess wad Matto:ref- Judge FLVCITEit'S Priuted Charge.-71!". 66. We have selected for notice.a Pamphlet, which lately appeaied in. Dubli n, upon-the ptibticatioi(Of J kildo'e. lETCUER'S Charge. We coulees, that, when we first saw the-Charge -attributed .to that Learned Judge, we were:strongly inclined to doubt its authenticity ; and, even at this moment, our respect for the Bench -in general, - nud for Mr. Justice FLETCHER in particular, renderrm‘ a little sceptical upon the subject. Wheth?r,. however,. the Charge be authentic or so t, s till t he posit ions` and assertions which it. contains require. an ain 7 saver; and, we think, a most satisfactory one is given in the pamphlet now before es : it is ano nymous, but the Author is evidently a Scholar and a Gentleman ; he argues with great temper ance and knowledge of the ,subject, and never once loses sight Of theyespect due to the sußposect Author of the work,on which he is n nenting. "Ibitollowing specimens . afford a fair example of his style and Manner : • " A preliminary inquiry, which solicits our at tenion, is whether aft the, topics, which Judge I`'letc`:er has iutrodneed, snit the character and legitimate objects ,otaCharge. , It appears to me that the Ooantels,.ot to.proceed officially from the Bench, are those only .which concern the admi— nistration of law, and ,justice ; and that from so grave a quarter no .topics . should be heard, to whiCh non eras lacing will. apply. Whatever we May assusne to be the merit of an opinion, the propriety of declaring it from •the Judgment Seat miss; be deter Mined, by the duties which are there to be performed. If to these it be quite foreign, the Horatian censure should . preclude it. The Judge may happen to be eloquent ; et, ortasse ea -Opossum scit simulare: but however eminent his -ta kat for roughly sketching.a mournful wreath, to grace the . obsequies of a Constitution, which it' invites to be defunct,* such funereal decorations will, on '0 e Bench, be quite misplaced. From a Vigh Priest of Opposition, in St. Stephen's Cha'. pet, it may he questioner! whether sepulchral rites of this kind would be endured. But at least the Temple of Justice is no fit Theatre for their cele bration ; the ermined Magistrate no prOper func tional" to preside at their performance. ow shall we best determine the topics pro per for a Charge ? By defining the legitimate fonctions of thoselo whom it is addreised., In the wie ill question, for example, whatever tend ed to assist those to alioni ,t erred, col lectivciy ;Ls" Jurors, or indi‘;duully as. M agistrates, to discharge the importaut duties which either character imposed, was regularly and -cor rectly introduced into that discourse," " ‘Vilich of his duties is a Grand Juror. assisted to discharge by being informed that rents are grown- exorbitantly, high ? is he therefore to throw out Bills of Indictment against-those, Who Nvith a strong and law, ( ess hand,, would preclude all competition, —and terrjfying every rival bidder into silence, establish a eetuprtably cheap maxi mum for farms? The astertonvf Judge Fletcher, that lands bear too high a price ; .. may be, and fear is, in sense degree well founde and through my information on, the. subject does not qualify me to be decis've, 114 11 ne.ver stigmatiz.`! as false hood, what I conjecture to be truth. L t ut will the opinion of .a Judge operate to lower the 'retel of land ? Is it, not more likely- to raise our pea sants—than to reduce .our rents ? I doubt' astisuoui of proeLioning a, grevance, which we cannot. cure : of proclaiming it to an irritated and deluded population —too long and successfully tampered with by the ,agents of sedition; and who hour assured upon authority, that they are right in thinking themselves aggrieved —may con clude that they are proceeding under the same bight sanction, when aiming through violence And outrage at redress, they but fly from grievance, f to take refuge in destruction.—The Judge's charge yet tingling in their ears, shall a Grand Jury, full of the extravagant and grinding price of land, send to trial a starving tenant, who would have reformed" the crying evil,—and this not "in differently," but " altogether ? - 1 - Shall a petty Jury convict the patriot of a, capital offence ? The Judge smiteuce hint to undergo the heaviest pe nalties of the Law ? and, with the passage on which I am commenting, of his prelection before his eyes, decline even torecomtnend to a portion of the Royal Mercy, this redressor of what him self had called intolerable grievance IP' * " Gentlemen, two Bills have recently passed both Houses of Parliament—one of these 4cl:4omi:a of a complete Sus- Pension of lht Constitution.". —(Judge Fletc C.:harp%) t If this exist. t A.

The servants of the Emperor's Household are already arrived from ,St. Petersburgh, and the Imperial Guard does duty at the Palace. BRUSSELS, -OCT. 31.--Letters from Vienna, written by persons who may be depended upon, continue to affirm, that the fate of the countries between the . Rhine, Moselle, and reuse, is di vided ; and that these Provinces, added to Bel gium on this side of the Maese, and Holland will fora' the new state of the United Netherlands--a state whose population may amount to eight mil lions ; and which, in a few years, by its com merce, its industry, and its agriculture, may be come one of the most prosperous and powerful Monarchies. We expect, therefore, with impa tience the result of the Conzress at Vienna, and the confirmation of this intelligence. The Engiish Minister at Ghent having received on the 28th, dispatches from London, delivered, f.. 11 time 29th, a note in writing Co the .American 'option. Nothing is known of the negotiation, except that the correspondence : , between London and Ghent was never.so brisk as at this moment. LEIDO7_, Nov. l.—Yestercily at last the pleagure of seeing his Royal - A-lig!mess Prince William - Frederick, :youngest. son -, of out beloved Sove l c-eign, arrive in this city, in "Ordet; like his Illustrious Father, to honour with Iris -pre , settee our celebrated Univet,itv, founded -by his great ancestor, William 1., to reward the ialotit of the citizens of Leyden, in 1575. His Highness gave anaudienee to' the Civil and Military Autho rities, and wAs congratulated on his arrival in the name of the Univ ers ity, by the' Rector and Pro fessors in their dresses of ceremony. His [loyal Highness returned the Address of the Deputation with the greatest affability. • BaussEt.s, Nov. 2.—lt is remarked, that the Prussian troops in garrison at Liege seem to be makii% preparations that indicate their speedy de'par'ture. If these troops should leave that city they will be succeeded by Belgic troops, in gar rison at ; as for the garrison at Luxem burg, it seems, that it will remain there till the fate of that province is decided at the Congress. In expectation of the retinal of Mr. Dallas,•or at least of new insiructious, which - will follow his arrival in America, the exchange of Notes be:. , tweeu the respective Ministers still_ continueS• ou the one liatul the negotiations are less active, on the other 'Aiand . they are very far from. being broken oil'. This week the Americans give an-: other grand entertainment, at which the aiglish Mi'iisters will be present. The sailing of the' America!' frigate, the Neptune to Brest, is , uni versally cousid,ered as a commission .wholly un connected with tticnegociations. FRENCH PAPERS. • [RECEIVED THIS h 7 ► RrtAG.

Fao'rrneus OF AUSTRIA, OCT. 26.—The busi ness of Naples s is not yet arranged. A Proposi tion has been macla. to King Joachim to renotuce the sovereignty of Ilia, t kingdom on receiving a n suitable compen sa ti on . egoejation upon thi s , subject has been op e n e d b e t. weer the Ne a p o li tan , Minister the Duke o f Campo-Ch.iaro, and the nister of the Allied Powers. BRUSSELS, Nov. 1.-.-hopes are now.„ - ntertairted . . . that the Negociati ons b etween the 11r10811. and American Plenipotentiaries will be brotiglit-'.-0 a favourable issue. AUGSBURG, OCT. 31.—The following article, which appeared in•the Palermo Gazette of the 29th September, completely refutes the 'reports.which have been circulated respecting Sicily:— " It is not true that several public functiona ries, both civil and military, have been arrested•; no one bas been arbitrarily arrested. It is not true that several persons have been turned out of office; those only have been dismissed who ne- glected their duty. It was said that the Par lia- ment had been dissolved, because it had refused, on the proposition of M. Ruff° 11 Scaletta, to grant 100,000 ounces of silver to pay a part of the public debt; but that Gentleman has been for se- vcral years, a Minister Plenipotentiary at' the Court of Vienna, and has never absented himself, excepting in the montli of June last, when he was sent upon a mission to Pails and to Lou- don ; lie returned to Paris abut the-end of Au- gust, and was expected at Vienna the middle of this month." , • MAILS.

IVe have this morning French Papers to Mon lay the 7th, but their contents are of little eon secmence. By ,a Dutch Mail which arrived last night, we ave a repetition of the speculations in which pea pie, are every where so prone to indulge on t!ie subject of the deliberations at Vienna. We at tach little value to these publications, which are ,really without being founded on• information, and are only more or less worthy of notice ds they pro , ceed froin 'Writers of acuteness ai: , l capacity, or froni those of another descc' The Negociations were not broken off on the'3d, but it is idie to calculate either fa vourably or the contrary on the intercourse there carrying on,• since it is well known that no pro gress can be made to an amicable adjustment, or to an entire rupture, until the answer of the American Government is received to the Dis patches carried out by Mr. DALLAS. We have copied from a Morning Paper a private letter from Vienna, which is at least curi ous, from the positive manner in which it details particulars, as occupying the attention of ,the Congress, There is reason for believing that the Expedi tion which sailed again from Halifax, under Ad miral COCHRANE, is destined to act against Boston, and strike a blow in a part of. America where the affection for Madisonean politics is not of so firm a nature as to render the connexion between the parties indissoluble. Wu look for good news from this quarter. There was a brief discussion in the Commons last night upon the subject of the Military Force maintained by Grail Britain in Belgium.—Mr. WHITBREAD, flushed with the absence of Lord CASTLEREAGH and Mr. CANNING, and presuming to consider the mild and gentlemanly demeanour of Mr. VANSITTART to be weakness and infirmity, because it is so unlike his own vulgarity and in temperate coarseness.; Mr. WHITBREAD, we say, returned to his orations, and treated; the House with a second edition of his -galiwaufry of the preceding evening. .(4` l 14 41 tk, 'r 1 4 1 11 ' 1 , 1 4 `lt , 11
