FOR THE SUN. MR, EDITOR . , —When you have so candidly in 'sL'rted in vour Journal the argument of Mr. GOLD -3411TH, which you combat, that acute and inge nious Writer ‘vill not feel displeased at a prolonged ° .PPosition to his opinions-:Land these, Mr. Edi tor, supply an ad&id pro&f, that the " Anti %Mean " title "of his Paper either was ill adopt ", or is ill continued. Perhaps both ; since he thereby formerly identifie - ti France with the Cor 3ican, and now enters :lion the distinctive advo- Ncy of France. 1 freely concur with him, Sir, in his observa tions on the Royalized RevolutiOnibis of that ver latile Country ; but 1 go much farther in lament g that her Councils should ever be directed by any other than pure and consistent Royalists.— , Whether King Louts's Ministers have been iu high or in humble offices under the Usurper, I care not :—it is misfortune enough that all the leavings of the Revolution were not hanged or transported. The argument too, that the Allies—a great part of them at least—are not entitled to compensa tion against France, because they had at one time , o r another fought on !ier Elite, would be conclu sive, but for one unlucky circumstance—that the demerit which France occasioned twist not be tarried to the benefit of France, or to her intim nity.—Justice demanded that France should b:! Punished. The punishment, unhappily, was mi tigated ; and now the mitigation is either to be leiliced or resisted Find me out, Sir, some mode of punishing the 6- (levant Allies -of France, without rewarding Prance by their punishment, and I will gladly Concur in the device. But I have no motion of avenging God and Man upon the lesser criminal, while the greater criminal goes nnwhipped : and I cannot help thinking that the simultaneous blow, ‘vhin-eby France was beaten down under our foot, is some atOn'etnt:P.t for the previous submis sion to her wickedness. If riat, Sir, how can the same month that advises the pardon 'of France urge,any retribution upon the Allies ? How shall the formal change of dynasty, the engrafting of revolutionary principles upon a counter-revolu tionary Throne, emoire pardon to France, while tlie expulsion of Irer usurped dynasty; and the re establishment of her legitimate rule, can plead no service on the part of the Conquerors ? " German Rapacity l"—Is this term applied to the -German sufferers tinder NAPoLitoN and his gang of Robbers ?—Hid Prussia overwhelmed France, had Russia rc-acted Moscow in Paris, who could have blamed their vengeance they have suileren France to remain, in ever su little revolutionary, that they did not re establish every thing as it was before the first rebel movement of 1789, and Punish ALL its surviving agents, who shall not blame theta.?—Saxony is unpunished:—Bavaria ele vates as a Prince a Revolutionary Cousin of the Corican's Sweden has a revolution ary Heir, while her legitimate GusTavus is a wanderer, unrecognized by counter-revolution ary Conquerors : —France is impunished : ler counter-revolutionary Royalists are deprived of their lands : her - revolutionary adventurers are invested with estates and titles; and those titles are foreign :—trophies of victories won by revo lutionary aggression :—we unname bridges, but leave plunderers hi full reputation. Why not " treat France as BUONAPARTE treat ed Foreign States?''—We never can accomplish a full retaliation ; but, indeed, Sir, the justice is pot very intelligible, of leaving France with any means of raising head again, merely because not France but the Allied Conquerors replaced her lawful Master, and transported the Chief of her Gang. A REAL ANTLGALLICAN. ".* We are sorry to differ in any respect with our valuable Correspondent, whose favours we always receive with plea sure, but we cannot agree with him in thinking that Saxony was unpunished. She had been compelled to enter into en 'gagetnents with a povvertul Usurper, and she her her engage 'meats tathe last. She was then deprived by the Allies, who were to redress wrongs and to restore legitimate right, of -a part df her dominions. Her case, it, our opinion, was hard 'Mid cruel, particularly as all the Allies, except 13ritain, had in turn succumbed to the Usurper. The assignment of Nor way to Sweden is another act which History will brand with infamy. So will she the consent of the Allies to the usurpa tion of Sweden, and for nut endeavouring to restore GusTavus - , to the Throne, the only , Monarch, except that of Great •Bii lain, who to the last held Out against the Corsican Munster. Asto Bavaria, and the elevation of EUGENE, nothing but indignation and contempt should fall . on such conduct.--(Ea.) FRIDAY, IkEc. 5 —No. 4,349, drawn on Friday Last, a Prize of 20.000/.

CATHOLIC BOARD. A 111etting tif, the Catholic Board, pursuant to adjournment, Rook place on the 4th inst. in Dub lin, OWEN O'CONtifi j Lsq. in the Chair. The subject was The Rhemish Pible, and the Chairman strongly condemned the Notes to that work, al !edging that they were contr try to the rloctrines of the Roman Catholic Church, though Dr. Titoy, the Titular Arch-Bishop of Dublin, gave his sanc tion to the publication. The Chairman vehemently censured The British Critic, for its comments on the aforesaid Bible. Our Readers will recollect, that we took the whole of the excellent Critique on that hible from Tho British Critic, and our Paper was particulatly coveted on that day. Af ter some debate, the motion of Mr. O'CONNFLL eras put and carried in the following words : " That a Committee be appointed to draw up an Address on the occasion of the late publication of the Rhemish Testa ment, with a view to 'have the same submitted to an Aggre gate Meeting," and the followihg Gentlemen were named as the Committee :—The Chair►aan, Mr. O'CONNELI„ Mr. Sc Ll', Mr. O'KELLY, Mr. MAUON, and Mr. ENEAS M'DoNNEI.L. The Board adi maned to Tuesday next, when the motion relative to the Rev Mr. HAYES IS tw come under conNideration. Air.ol;oamANT was called to the Chair, and the Thanks of the Meetinv, were unanimously given to OWEN o . CoNoa, Esq. their Chairman. SWEDEN. STOCKHOLNI. Nov. 20. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.] We received yesterday, by way of . Harnburgh, the melancholy intelligence of the death of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte of Wales. The King and Piinet , Royal were both of them very deeply affected with the calamity which has fallen, not only on the Royal Family of England, but' on the whole British nation, who bad at tached the dearest hopes to the existence of that young Princess. Lord Strangford not hsving received the news direct from London, Baron Rehansen undertook, on the proposal of , the Minister for Foreign At fairs, Count Engestrom, to announce'to his Ex• eellency this event, in order to spare hint the afiliciing surprise of reading the news in a Ga zette, without being prepared for it. Lord Stran ford was extremely grateful for this attention. Yesterday, in the evening, the King and the Prince Royal sent each their respective Chamber lains to wait ‘ npon Lord Strangford, to express riteir compliments of condolence, and to testify their deep sympathy in the melancholy loss which the Prince Regent and . the whole of the English nation have suffered. PRIOR PARE... 77 A most ridiculous paragraph, stating that - Mrs. TnosaAs had lately addressed the QUEEN in 0 ton familiar (and, if true, it must have been considerecl an impertinent) manner, has appeared in several papers ; hut we possess the means of knowing that not a word had passed (*rom Mrs. TIViNAS to her MAJESTY, on her (hiving through Prior Park.

Mr, Fistfea, who has acquitted himself so respectably in Richard and Macbeth, last night ap peared in filmlet at Prurv-Lane Theatre. Ile by no means lessened. his reputation by his per formance, but rather increased it, by skewing, the variety of his powers.. lie did not seem ambi tious of eliciti.ug novelties, but contented hiMself witit a plain and manly exhibition of the part. lie is too apt to wear . a smile which gives an ap pearance of levity to his performances, and some times, if not familiar, he seems to be too easy for the weighry matter which he is delivering. For instittlCC, •in the celebrated soliloquy " To be or not to be," there was too light a Walther in some of the passages, nor was it marked through the whole with that solemn meditation which it re quires; but his performance altogether was credit able to his talents, and not unworthy of the London boards. lie was liberally applanded.—The play teas followed by a dramatic Romance, entitled Lilliput, lon tided on • Mr. Gauniclt'S piece of the same mime. It was represented by children be tween six and twelve yea's old, with the exception of Mr. ifiGNIAN, who performed the part of Gulliver. The disproportion between the Lilli putians and Gulliver was as much as was practicable considering the powers and capacity of the little agents, and they supported their parts with eNua ordinary abilities. lie i*ce is amusing, and indeed diverting. It was very well receiver:, and will doubtless be very attractive to the holiday visitors. The house was full. It. is said that Mr. KEAN has offered himself at Covent-Garden Theatre, and that it is probable he will appear there next season. Managers, it seems, whatever may be the merit of their dramatic treasures, are never without a plot. The Beggar's Opera has- been driven with indig nation from the Stage of New York, and we heartily wish that the audience of London would do the same. It set ved its purpose at the time when it was written, viz. to lidicule the Italian Opera, and to satirize the Ministry ot Sir 1 4 ..0"E'Etur WAL POLE • That it coniain3 wit and limnour no man can deny, but it is of a lon , description, and the general 'tendency of the piece renders it a nursery for thieJes and women of the town. By the way, front motives of justice aid humanity to Actors and Actresses, it would be well it The 'ltalian Opera were to share the same fate, for it is the asylum for mischievous foreigners, who spread profligacy and republican principles, to corrupt our honest countrymen.

ANECDO I'ES 0 TEt6 LATE LAMENTED PRIN 7 CE , S CHARLOTTE. Some time ago, the Rev. Mr. Wtecox, of Lan: don, was greatly interested for a young man, then under sentence of death, alfd was induced (as the most probable means of succeeding) to solicit the Royal Mercy through the intercession of the Princess CuAaeorrE.—With this view he begged, and immediately obtained, an interview With her Royal Highness ; and his statement soon excited in her breast an interest equal ro his own. She pledged herself to•lose no time in laying the case before her Royal liather, and to do her , utmost to obtain a remission of the sentence., Mr. Wtecox felt exceedingly grateful, and,. on retiring, ob served that the only return•he.cquld mske, (a re turn which he assured her, he.should not fail to present,) was, to offer up to Heaven his poor prayers on her Royal Highness's behalf. " Mr. Wiecoie," interrupted 'she, " don't. call your prayers ' poor prayers,' for the prayer of a righ teous man availed) much !'" From this pleasing incident, (it has been well observed,) two vain ale inferences may he drawn—First, her Royal Highness's intimate acquaintance with her Bible ; and secondly, the sense, she entertained of the value and importance of Prayer ! " Her witness is in Heaven—her retort! is on high." Mrs. H. lady who had formerly -held some office in the Household, and had a share in the education of the Princess, called some time ago at Claremont, in' order to pay her respects, &c: to her Royal Highness, whom she found at a table, covered .with papers, relating - to. household ac. counts, bills, receipts, &c. She Was instantly ad• mitred, moat kindly and heartily received, and re• proached for having been so long absent.—" We were speaking of you the other day," said the Princess, " and I was 'telling. my husband how much 1 was indebted to your care." She thett spoke of her marriage, of her domestic af fairs, and described. herself as the happiest woman, and her husband' as the best of men in the kingdom ; "by the bye," said sbe, " have you ever seen Cosouao ?'' Mrs. 11. replied, that she had never yet had the honour, which she re gretted, and of as hick she 'was very desirous.— " Then you shall have it directly," said her Royal Highness,.and going into,an inner room, she re quested her Consort to come and ,receiVe her friend Mts. 1-.1. who she presentee! As the person of whom she had often spoken to him with teem and affection. His Serene Highness ex• pressed himself highly pleased with the introduc tion, and after conversing a few minutes in the most courteous and affable manner, retired, regretting that )tis occupations would not permit him to remain. "He is very busy," said the Princess, " in ,his department, as I 11/11 mine,.looking over, and pa j ing our monthly ac counts, but I have been quicker than he, and have thane. This is the first Monday in ~tfie month, and when yon corncob that day, you wilt always find us employed in the same manner, for we are deterthined to live within our income and not to get into debt." She then artoroed her pall pets, and attended her visitor round the groandos, &c. of her roidence. ~ti ^T f . ; ' 19 if a y of pelt' .1,........,, SaVI Grh.
