FOR THE SUN. 111 it. EDlTOR—Rardli as I find occasioc to con- Irovert your °pillions, it is still more rarely justi fiable that I should occupy ymtr coltunne with the - controversy. You will, however, permit me to -observe, that, up . on your own argument, Saxe'!`' has -e vinced heavy demerits- , —sufficiently hea , y t --Atti4e<k4sititled - her to any, the - least She stuck to the 'Corsican even " to the last." The other Continental Powers, great as was their mi. ginal sin of adherence or submission to that creant, -redeemed it by turning against him, and vert Irrowing his tyranny.' The loss of a part of iter political existence was only - part punishment ; and while she retains one foot of territory, her case is therefore neither " hard nor cruel." You know, Sir, that Saxony "kept her engagements 'to the last." Denmark stands next in,degree to this pertina cious ally of Napoleon. And had Norway been transferred from her to any other Power than the revolutionary throne of Sweden, I should not -re gret the transfer. Its " infamy . " rests, not in the a quo, but in the ad quoit: With the example of PELTIER before my eyes, I do not like trusting myself to speak of Stveden whose revolutionary heir would be as jealous, per ' baps, of any glance at his history, as was his Consular .Comrade, Citizen Buonaparre. else, Sir, I could say much of the honourable, the le gitimately honourable, GusTArus, who is kept out of his throne for the same acts which kept the other Sovereigns upon theirs. The less said on this subject, Sir, the better. But while such encouragement and reward are Leld out to revolution and revolutionists, why talk of Bavaria and her Napoleonite connexions ? and why, indeed, of France ? who is to be spared, it seems, and n►oppetted, and cockerel, and dan dled, because she has not yet shaken off that legi timate rule which she was obligkd to receive. No, Sir.—Let as be consistent in our principles of legitimacy ; and steadily denounce all its oppo- rents, be their station who e it may. And while upon this subject, let tne obser►e, Sir, on the impud-ent--not apology—not even vindication—but applause, of the detestable revo- Nlionists of France. Such miscreants as Las Jxsas, Regnault, and the other tools of the 'Usurper, are pitied and praised ; and the tardy, unequal justice, whicl► only banishes :hem front society, and hunts them beyond the danger of their contamination, is cried'out against as cruel ty. They are described as virtuous, and noble, and devoted ; and their rebel Leader as an Eny,)e- ror truly ! What else, Sir, are they to be called ? Is not the revolutionary Press, in France, in the Nether- lands, and in England, satisfied that these scoun drels are snlTered to live ? If they have escaped the gallows, are they to disgrace our company ? A REAL ANTI-GALLICAN. While we profess our eatire concurrence in all that our valuable - ljorrespondent has said, or could say, in repro bation of other Continental Powers, we must again profess our sincere regret at the fate of Saxony. The King was obliged to hold out " to the last," in support of the Usurper of France, otherwise it is probable that the French Army, tin der the direction of its barbarous and inexorable Leader,would hare - spread desolation and horror over his dominions, and that the cottage would have been as Much exposed to his un sparing vengeance as the palace. Compassion for his subjects, therefore, who had suffered so much under Corsican protec• tion, obliged him tO exempt them from Corsican persecution. FOR THE SUN. ;NTR. EDITOR,—An Address having appeared in your Paper favourable to the legitimate Prac ticer's of the Law, accept in) mite to so laudable an end. Principiis obsta.—To oppose the beginning of an evil is to stop its progress, and defeat its ef fect ; but the - evil should exist before we attack, or attempt to baffle it. The question is, whether a set of men, who, under a certificate, practice as Conveyancers, is to be objected against because they are not Barris ters or Attornies ; nor ever in a course of pro baiion to he either ? The science of Law is open to every one, and each may have an equal share of knowledge therein, from, aft equal share'of cul tivation ; but is it to be expected that those will sow who cannot reap ; or, that' those who have never sowed shall be permitted to reap ? It would infringe on the well informed, and affect their profits. -Many young men who have been pupils. to eminent preceptors, have practised under the Bar for some time, either as Law or Equity Draftsmen, and Conveyancers, and, have been called to it only to enable them to sign proceed ings, and class as persons actually in the Profes sion, as before they were preparing for 4.- 1 hese are regularly bred. It is against those who have not been bred to it at all, that die com plaint lies ; those who have been tradesmen, arti ficers, broken merchants, accouctants, annuity brokers, money lenders, &c. who ore incapable of drawing a sufficient assurance. Shall such cha racters intrude themselves into 14. learned Profes sion who have no learning, and share its business and profits too ? is a question proper to be solved by the Legislature, and shall be further consider ed lay AN OLD BARRISTER 'PR Etit II PAPERS.

Friday and Saturday .. G 3 f. 90 c. The recruitment of the French Army, just at this period when RevolutiOnary.characters have obtained a predominant influence in the French Cabinet, is a circumstance that seems to have excited alarm on the Continent. It is in two respects entilled to particular notice, as it shews that Revolutionary feelings and. views are preva lent in the French Co-insels, and it seems fully to contradict the rumour that the Allied Army was about to wi(hdraw. For what . purpose but that of mischief can the French Army be augmented at this time. It has .been well observed that it does seem to be the intention of the French Government to rid the army of all Re volutionary Spirits, and to augment its moral as well as physical force, by enlisting such men as are loyal and attached to the person of the Mo narch. No—it is not likely that such tnen would be selected by the present French Ministers. They would most probably rather select the re volutionary Banditti who are practised in the am of overwhelming the legitimate Governments, and enriching themselves with the spoils of other Na tions. The fact is, whatever this new recruit ment of the French Army may he stiled, it is. in reality a Conscription, founded upon the same principles as the Conscription of the exiled Usurper, and therefore the Allied Powers must be besotted indeed if they could have thought of removing their Armies from France before the limited pe riod, or even then, unless the country is free from the controul of Jacobin Ministers, and the King in Such an unfettered state as will enable him ro chose his Counsellors from men of real loyalty and honour, not the corrupted re mains of a banditti of Regicides and Myrmi. (lions of a Usurper, who, instead of being per mitted to wear titles and bold a rank among an ancient and revered Nobility, ought to be driven from the country, if not brought to the infliction of national justice. In our observations yesterday upon the mis conception of The Times, respecting a supposed improvement of rhe,principles of the Catholic nen gion introduced by the Reformation, we did not think it necessary to notice the reflections which the Roman Catholics bad thrown upon the me ntory of King WILLIAM in their Address, which gave occasion to the remarks of The nines. History has recorded the Character of that King, and this Country enjoys the blessings resulting from 's reign ; but with all our reve rence and gratitude for that august Monarch, we cannot agree with The Times when it says, scend to a Mt•Cil less Personage,'' mentioning Mr. YITT. If the Writer means a much less Per sonage in point of rank, the observation is hull ctously ; but if be means in intellectual power, we wholly dissent from the des cription. King WILLLAN saved this Country by restoring it to itself; but Mr. PITT saved " to de. this Country, and, by tire soundness of 11' :; licy, and his fir mness i n support i ng it, he lcl . the deliverance of a ll Europe. It may questioned, if, with all his military talents , I°l- : WIL=LtAk, placed in th e exac t c i rcum stanc e 9 ►; which the immortal PITT was able to give an ample of legislative wisdom and ministerialP uritY' without a parallel, Wonld have been able to see r., , with equal success the same important, essen us e. and vital interests of thi s Count ry an d o f a ll Eurtr.l' LOSS OF THE MARTIN SLOOP OF .WAR.

Mr. LEACH 'is positively stated in a Hornig; Paper to have been appointed Vice-Chancellor' None can doubt the high qualifications of thi s Gentleman for any office of legal importance. The report that Sir WILLIAM GRANT IS HIVO' t to resign the Mastership of the Rolls has been Te" vived, but there is reason to doukt whether is iy well-founded. Sir WILLIAM PLUMER is metitioir t.d as the successor, in case the event should, rcailf take place. Mr. Serkiant BEST IS mentioned as' likely to 1) 6 appointed Chief Jostle() of Chester. - If Mr. LEACH is really appointed Vice-Chancel' lor, he is expected to boll his Office of that!' eellor of the Duchy of Cornwall. On Thursday evening summonses were issue for the assembling of a Cabinet Council yesterd4 at 2 o'clock, which was attended by all the Cult►' net Ministers who are in London.

Some magnificent articles, in Royal Sevenorre' ain, are just arrived from Vienna, as presents he QUEEN arid the PEINCE REGENT. THE THEATRE.-The revived entertainment of Lilliput was represented again last night at Drury-Lane Theatre, with such increased success, as, perhaps, will obviate the necessity lot al. allUnal Gambols of ale motley Hero of the Wooden Sword. The new Tragedy fottbcoming at Covent' Garden, of which report speaks highly, is the composition of a very juvenile Author. The ar pearance of it has been delayed by the illness of Mr. C.
