The .lore-eat year, wejrtay venture to
_arAert,
opens upon us with '.happier ativices than Ohl „the
last. His Majesty has been pleased to call to his
:Councils -those whose minds are happily imbued
'With a portion of the vigour, virtue, and wisdom of
that great man in whose seh'ool they were most of
them bred. Already have oUr Arms retrieved their
.wonted lustre, and the gigantic plani &our Enemy,
for our conquest and subjugation, been .baliled and..
overthrown. , The last six months have already:
given a cheering -earnest of* the future—the spirit
of the Nation is revived, and we lIQW not only con-
fidently hope to preserve our own Coutitti from the
'contamination of hrench, Invasion, but to see once
again the British canner displayed as..the rallying

.plete realiiation of Spell a hope,- 'the Nzition must
co-operate with the plans and wishes of the Go-
vernment. Never, we' are satistied,, Wais there
period when unanimity sogenerally reigned through-
out th© Country ; the Party that for so tnitny years
harassed theTneasures of the E4ecutive Government

degraded, and dispersed—their adherents are few,'
and confessedly,without hope. bLir preient Mini-.
sters,.on the contrary, have, by their measures., since
they came into pOWer, gained the applause and cep-
fidence of jheir Country; and have drawn the
eyes of Entope upon us with sensations of astOrtish-
ment and regret—astonishMent at the magnitude
and grandeur of our exploits, and regret that they'
should have 3o basely yielded to the Conqueror in
an evil metneuLof,desertion, despondency, amide-
spair.

Thus, while we are blessed, with the continued
health of our beloved MOnarch-;-w bile our 'Mini-

us, with all the. subjugated Powers Of Europe at
his command, but he will threaten in .vain--for'
Britain shall' thus conic triumphantly through the
dreadful Struggle, and survive to be the saviour, as she

and agonized world.
Of those points that more immediately relate to'

faithful and impartial Report 'of the Proceedings" Of
Parliament—the same eager communication of every
occurrence of importance, whether selating to our
own or othercountries, and derived from the highest
and most authentic sources of inforniation, shall
continue to distinguish the columns of THi SUN;
We are aware of the extended rivalry. that has of
Lite-years arisen, but we view it with complacency
conscious of4our superior means of proaxulgating:
general information, and of kr tifying pti~ill'G' cu
