THE SUN. SULEM 21/IS DICIRA /ALSV.:+I itUDEAT ? LONDON, 0 CTO BE R 6, iSoz. ON the great and happy event which -has so un cxpeaedly burst upon the Country, and, which has called forth, so universally, its admiration and gra titude towards those who have been the instruments of Providence in bringing it about, we -shall not perhaps think it necessary to offer many observa tions till the Ratification of the Preliminaries shall arrive. We shall neither descend to comment on the effrontery of one journalist, who has dared to ondemn the secrecy with which the Negotiation has been carried on, nor animadvert on the consistent inconsistency of another, the most 'unprincipled that ever insulted the feelings and understandings of a too-tolerant Public, which, on Friday, asserts, that Peace ought to be mare on any terms—on Saturday, applauds those who had made it:=--and, on Mondizy, reptobates the Terms on which* had been conclud ed. Had it pioved -less honourable for the Country, • and- less creditable to Ministers, it might perhaPs have continued to experience the . applause of the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. ,But even in this moment of general exulta. tion, when our attention has naturally -been so much ecgrossed by the cheering and consolatory cause of it for the last three or four days, .we , feel' ourselves almoit, bound to apologize to our • . Readers for nor having adequately expressed our -sentiments on an event, which is so closely con tikicd with it, and which has ,so essentially con , tributed to it ;we Tear?, the {t eal; success of our arms 'in Asjpt. Happy for this Country, that while Wisdom and Talents have ruled our Conn . _ ells at home, Zeal, Skill and Valour have dire red our military operations abroad, and that the splendid -co-operation of both has placed-Great Britain in a situation, which though all, or almost all, might wish, we believe that few were so ' sanguine as to look. forward.to— Qdod Divam'promittere . N.crao— huderet.u- • • In the ,original conception of • that stupendous enteri'rize, we discover a vigour of mind, and an • extent of politic - al sagacity, to Wilich the world will ever bear testimony, but to our estimation of which we are absolutely at a loss for words to do justice.: .The objea.of it was not merely to avert danger from our East India possessions, to afford -ge nerous assistance to a faithful" Ally, but to remove an obstacle whiCh - must have remained an insuperable one to all chance of a Negotiation for Peace. All these conSiderations, wisely enter tained and vigorously ailed. upon by the late Ad_ ministration, .have been wisely and vigorously prosecuted by the present. If the Country - owes, asit does, 'infinite obligations to the War Minister, who planned, the Prime Minister who adopted, and the Commander in Chief Who so ably carried it into ,effea, and who has, so abundantly earned the confi dence of the Country ; no less is due to those who have so strenuously followed up the blow, and have completely attained the great ob. t jOl, which had been with. so much decision and Zvi>du ra planned by their Predecessors. But of the Army which had to carry this vast criterpriic into efija, what shall we say ' What , trials 'had they- not to' undzigo ? What diffieul ties Of every descriprior, had they not to surmount ? :What dangers ii . ad they not to encounter ? Cooped up as they hem in Tr,:nsparts for many months, unac,:w.toir,,,,l 10 the ign4tantof the Coasts .before z.Uv landed, - and rti-Iccivainted with all the Posts and local advantages anti disadvantages of the Country after the :Us-embarkation was effeaed, they had to face.art Enemy, at least, o:le-third'their supe 'Tic:- in nUmber, cothpoFid of the finest 'Troops in the French service, inured lo the Clirnate, every where strongly entrenched, .abundantly supplied' with pro visions, and who' had ten for three years in com plete and undisputed possession of the'Country. " Think they cried,' rlauglat remains !" This seems to have been 'their motto, and they have steadiiy and gloriously acted up . to it. ' They have executed more than their Country could have expeEted from' them ; and all that military spirit, discipline, and an ardent zeal in their Country's Cause could have .:ttchieved. Great Britain is grateb4, and their, fame is immortal. We will boldly pronounce the 'result, as well as the detail, of the Egyptian Campaign, as the most splendid, in the great Outline, 'and in all its parts, that has ever graced the Military Annals of this, or any other Country, This Lit sulijeet as highly animating to our feelings, in ,ursison,• we are sure, with those of the Country at large. The . consequences of this Atchievement will lOng be felt ; but possibly not so long as the Glory of it. will be recognized.. The latter will . be eternal! 'We close this subjeft with protesting, that' no circum. - stance attending the. termination of this War will afford us more heart-feltrapture, than the considera tion that an end is.thus put to the toils of that illus. trious Band of Heroes, whose efforts have so deci. sively contributed to it ; whose example can' never cease to operate on every British bosom, and who, on their return to their Native Land, will be received by their Friends, and be hailed by their Country, as amongst the best Assert9rs of its Cause, and its most gallant Defenders and Protec. tors. WE this morning received Faril Paler: to the 3d inst. Like th3se which 'lave' lately . preceded them, they contain little that is entitled to notice. In the interim between War , ard Peace, which the ignorance of the result of the ilegotiation produces at Paris, the -Moniteur, and the other Papers following its example, fill their columns with the Asts of Go vernment, whicharewholly of local interest. By an Official Note of the isth of August (says the Moniteur), , the Sublime Porte informed Baron B SC H , the Cha rsi-iles-Afailes of the KING of DENMARK, that. he had consented to 'all, the French. : Prisoners being. sent to Fiance, with the 'excep tion of the French Legation, which is to re main% in Turkey .during the continuance of the: Turkish Legation ..in France. By a subsequent decision, Citizen RUFFIN, the Plenipoterg - iary of the RePublic, and pitizens Kr E riga and DANTAN, attached to the. Legation, . have been removed to Pera, where.they enjoy their liberty. A Guard of Honour has been appointed4or them,. in the house which they inhabit.' The former mansion, known by the name of the'French Palace, is now occupied by Lord ELGIN. It had at first been deteimined that the French Prisoners should be sent back in classes of fay, in succession. ' The Porte has since desisted fran that rigorous measure, and the Prisoners are to ;ail as soon as Ships are prepared for them. A Slip, at the date of the last letters, zsth August, vas to set out immediately, and to carry i r s'for Mareilles. Citizen RUFFIN, being sufficiently authorized for that purpose, had formed a Committee to asist in this work. SEML IN, SEPT. s.—,Thd. Imperial Corsul at Belgrade writes; •thathe is still guarded by. 6 or 7 Janissaries. The Council which they have, estab lished,. having deliberated on the propositirn made by the Paella, of abandoning'all his property if they would release him, has been definitively. :ejcaed. 'Flit number of Janissaries' continues to intrease at Belgrade, as well as the number of l'AssuAN 0G- Loy's Troops, who is himself on his_marclt to take possession of that Fortress. Revolt is spreading in Bosnia and Romefia. The Commander of N izza having Intel! taken a walk, out of that City, was much suipriaed,to'lin'cl the gates shut against him at his return, and. to'be told that he must not enter. He was, however, per, mitted; upon giving up his property, todeliart, glad to be rid of the danger even at that price, HAGUE, SEPT.

At Braintree Fair in Essex, or, Friday and Satur. day last, cattle of 151. price fell zos. per head, on the news of Peace reaching that pface. There was the largest show of Hops, in pockets and bags, ever known at that mart, and large purchases were made, the former fetching from 41. J os. to 51. los. the lat. ter, from 31. ios. to 41. Jos. per cwt. •At Bridgewater Fair on Friday last,, there was the greatest show of cheese ever remembered ; of course it fell considerably, and a great deal was left on hand. • On Wednesday' last there was .a show in Castle Howard P'ark, of cattle and sheep produced op the Earl of CARLISLE'S estates, when a number of Pre mi4ms were given by his it.ordship to the breeders of the best stock, as determined by Mr. PROWDE, of Havinghain, Mr. KIRKBX, of Mowthorp, and Mr. STUBI3S, of Whitwell, who . were appointed judges pp the occasion. In proof• of the high perfeCtion to which the breed of .sheep has been carried in this country, we have to mention, that a two-shear wether, belong., ing to Mr. Moncyhill, of Waterden, in . Norfolk, on being lately killed, was found to weigh 941 b. and that the bone weighed only 4.ilb. the propor tion of meat to bone being nearly as twenty. to one Such has been the increase lately in The value of land, that I . arms within six miles of Leeds have been rented at five pounds per acre throughout the whole Wm. The news of Peace being again restored to tin , Cimntry, WAS received' kith the greatest acclama tions of joy by the Inhabitants of this place. .A' soon as, the Mail arrived with a confirmation of the pleasing intelligence, a party of the Horse Artillery' were drawn. out on the Quay, and fired a Royal Si lute ; the Poole Armed Association and Volunteers, in the course .of, the afterngot„were also drawnout, and each fired a feu-de-joje ; the Corps of..i3rownset Artillery marched to Brownsea, and' there fired fron: -the great guns a Royal Salute also. .In. the:euninA , a genera' illumination took place ; some • it devices, and quite emblematical, were displayeL;. 'to-day a dinner on the occasion is prepaiedar New Antelope, 'which will be - very fully attended ; indeed the general joy expressed by the Inhabitancy of- this. Town, far surpasses any desciiption .can be attempted . to be M. (Jiro certainly knew of the Surrender cf AleNancltja at the titne of signing the Preliminaries of Peace. We believe he communicated at t ile time this highly-pleasing intelligence. The intelligence of the signing the Prer.m . nai les of Peace has been received throughout the WI 0:e Country with the greatest' exultation.: The enly disapproving men on this great and auspicious eveti are a few -disappointed Stock:jobbers and evil minded men, On Saturday last the K:nsington Association fired a leo.cle-joye at Kensington Palace, in honour of the signing of the Preliminaries of Peace bei wee n England . and France. Opposition, who breathe their disappointm.nt through the medium of the Morning Chronicle,' Live inadvertently ascribed to Administration the nob!e“' motivesfor the-prosecuti6n of the War in whh:li we have been-so long engaged. They have at length defined the objea of hostilities on our pair-, by slip ping out a conviaion that the Ministers sought Or nothing bat PEACE. Peace, says this vehicle - of envy' and discontent, is all , we.have got, but it confesses c W t lase nothing. The anoderation, liberality, justice., aci honour of Britain, surely never shone with gteater splendour than on the present occasion. She has pro ed to the world that neither resentment, amhitiCp, nor aggrandizethent formed any part of her political conduct ; that War was einbarked -in-for the sole purpose of obtaining PeaCe, which could not other-. wise be possessed, and-for the , attainutent of which she has, with a liberal hand,. restored what she-. has the power of keeping ; and held out the olive branch at'a period when her energy and resources were fully adequate to extend her conquests ah 4 triumphs to the remotest Climes. Are Ministqs then to- be censured for hayinff proved that Peace, not Conquest—that domestic security, not accession of territory — . that general interest of Europe; not sordid self - 10 1 ' ness, were the- principles that iuggestedall measures ? . These have,, at length; been e ,,1J.?

To say that, the acquire ment of Ceylon and Trinidada does not reinimertirf us fur the expellees of the War, is speaking a bsurd.' ly :MinisterS never enga , ,...zed in the contest for the purpose of seizing out Enemie s ,' eOlonies, &C—Pcistq Liberty, and Security, fur whiell',ton great: pri cc t cannot be, paid, were the grand objects, and ou o : Conquests have guaranteed those bieSsings whic, can not be estimated by Mon ey, . - When the British Ministry, after having been I . c " luttantly involved in War, talked of requiring constant ridicule, and c>: , t d l e tr v i o t) r ' d. f .4 9rtlie f ast underwent cited the constant abuse, of Opposition,.
