TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Mn. EniToa,—May we now presume that the tyranny
of individuils has ceased? Will it not soon be acknow-
ledged, where the " collective wisdom " resides ? How little
an unadvised person, or one not freely advised, is com-
petent to appear in presence of a nation, may be collected
from the Duke's late career, and many passages in Sir
ltobert's life. We are compelled to the same conclusion
by the letters of Polignec and of Ellenbornugh, so omi-
nously dragged to light—lettete demonstrating the r.siei.
mum of intellect, the qualm purvo replier munches. The
letter of De. Potter, patriot as be is, suggests similar re.
flexions; and, though too late to prevent an American
war or a Catholic Ques►ion, a lesson has been read to the
world against submitting to the uninodified prejudices of
a single family, as in France and Portugal. Let Int hope
that in future, the English nation may pay their Monarch
the attentions due to a reveled and benevolent lather,
without compromising-a right to jtuige of their interests
and administer their alLirs.—l have the honour, lee.
