TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,-1 am much surprised and deeply regret that my
countrymen, who have long been famed for their generosity
in rai►ing liberal subscriptions for the relief of their foreign
neighbours when suffering front any calamity, should delay
making collections to provide food, &c. for those mechanics
and labou►ers who are willing to work, but from the
" state of the times" cannot obtain employment.
Shall it be said the English raged subscriptions for
foreigners, while they suffered their own people to starve?
Forbid it humanity !

I cannot presume to offer a complete plan for the ar-
rangement and distribution of subscription:, which 1 trust
will be immediately raised ; hut 1 must indulge the hope
that those who have the ability, inclination, and mesas,
will perform this necessary work, this incumbent duty.
Let subscriptions be raised in every city, town, and
populous village throughout the kingdom. Let Com-
mittees be formed for the distribution of the money thus
collected, and we may hope that a large portion of the
poignant distress now existing will be relieved.
Fiorn the extreme poverty of the labouring classes
increased to a frightful extent, we cannot expect to afford
them any real benefit unless subscriptions are liberally
given by the wealthy ; and each person who in these times
is so fortunate as to possess if but a little of this world's
goods, should cheerfully contribute of that little—it is
web known the large stuns that are collected even by
penny subscriptions—all who have, ought to give at act isis
like the present._

I am aware there is a class of persons (I trust neither
numerous nor influential) who are ever ready with excuses
to preserve their superabundance for their own gratifica-
tions. I shall not envy the future reflections of this class;
but I rejoice in believing there are thousands of my country-
men who are willing to succour their fellow-creatures in
distress. I would particularly address those wealthy sons
of Britain, whose fortunes have been obtained by the
labour of the mechanic ;---Can ye behold the advance of
famine, pestilence, and death, attended with every aggrava-
tion, among the families of, those who toiled to make you
rich, and not extend your aid to mitigate the present evils,
and avert those horrors which your liberality can alone
impede? There is another class of rich Olen who are not
directly indebted to agriculture or commerce for their
luxuries, but let them remember if the hands now com-
pelled to be idle had never laboured, the taxes by which
they have been, and are supported, would nut have been
raised. To all who have mitered their property through

the industry of the world's: classes, they have eirdal
claims for assistance in these days of suffering..
Ere I conclude I must remind my countemn tat
with affluence, that they have an important duty tsp.
form : and sure I am they will have but one regret that
their means are not equal to their wishes. Ye who ire
mothers, give as ye are able to provide food and elotldelr
for the perishing offspring of your destitute conntrynso,
who have toiled to produce for you and yours"
and luxuries. Ye who are single, spates few' aostk
reil
which would only purchase useless ornaments, to relief*
your felluw.bsings from the pangs of hunger and cold.
If, Mr. Editor, you will devote s corner of your vskuible
Journal to the above, you will oblige, Sir,
Your obedienANt servant.

bleu held out to them as an object of terror ; they were

ravelti„ of 1789, was about to be formed in Paris.
This is an error or a calumny, which we have sufficiently
*sal by our moderation and religious rest ch for the
principle of non-intervention.
Gummi Richemont read a long memoir, which the
feebleness of his voice prevented our hearing. The mem-
Nits of both extremities of the Chamber repaired to the
icet of the tribune, and listened to the orator with the
Oland attention.: From what we could collect he recom-
tended the instant occupation of Belgium by France. He
sapplicated France not to trust too highly the friendly as.
seranees of England. Remember, said lie, her conduct
taarecda Denmark, when, in time of peace, she destroyed
lite Danish fleet, on the simple dread of war. England is
.ehtays guided by private interests, and she invariably
stoned all the designs of France, which had for their result
her aggrandisement and prosperity. She allows us to Un-
rata e generous expeditions, and to reap distant laurels ;
~att.t there rests her benevolence towards us. Since the
gAttilt of Hastings until that of Waterloo her policy has
beett the same. Let us not be deceived by the gyro.

4reform of many abuses, which they have struggled in
vidis to obtain for the last forty years. Whatever may be
th party in power, Whig or Tory, it is guided by the
Wife principles towards us. They will always maintain
ha' within our present limits; they will always oppose our
illgrandisement. Remember the Revolution of 1789 ; the
nation likewise applauded it; but it nevertheless waged
against us a war of extermination. In 1800, when it

When our commercial relations had recommenced, when

cial embarrassments alone prevent her going to war. She

All this passage of General Richemont's discourse was
Ttpsatedly interrupted by the violent murmurs of both
ktntres.
M. Sebastian°, Minister of Foreign Affairs, refuted the
cesertiou of General Richemont. The armaments in the
teeth are the consequence of error, and not indications of
War. The ruler of Russia was told that our Government
Mss not free, that it was under the influence of a faction,
put since truth was made known to him, he gave us the
.ceost explicit assurances of peace. General Sebastiano
Shen declared that England was no longer actuated by any
old hatred towards France. She was the first to aihnire
our moderation and our increasing power. We have, I
tePeati the most positive hopes that peace shall be preserved.
The Chamber then voted the law.

rowing letter to the newspapers :

BRUNSWICK, Nov. SO.—The negotiations with Duke
Charles are now completely broken off. His permission
to his brother to govern in his name has been withdrawn,
but as the presence of a recognised Government is in-
dispensable, Duke William now carries on the Government
in his own name—to which arrangements the Cuurts of
London, Berlin, and Vienna have given their consent.
An official document, bearing the signature of Duke
William, has been published, in which he announces that,
on the pressing invitation of the King of England and
Hanover, be has assumed the functions of Sovereignty,
which be has been requested not to relinquish under any
circumstances, until his Majesty shall have brought about
an arrangement of the affairs of the Duchy of Brunswick.
Duke Charles, it appears, had invited his brother to a
conference at Fulda, but the latter declined the invitation.
At the same time the former sent M. Bender Von Bienen-

that (some time ago dismissed from the Bavarian ser-
vice), whom he had appointed Governor of the Duchy,
into the country, with printed Proclamations. As soon as
M. Bender crossed the frontiers, he was arrested, and
brought to Brunswick in chains. The precaution was
taken to bring him at night, otherwise his life would have
been in danger. Lieutenant Garsen, Aide-de-Camp
of Duke Charles, with whom he arrived at Frank-
fort, has been arrested by the Burgher Guard
in the little town of Lessen, and brought to Bruns-
wick. It seems that he affirms that he has quitted the
service of the Duke Charles. It remains to be seen whe-
ther this is true, or whether his return and the journeys
of some other persons who have lately shown themselves
in our neighbourhood, has some object dangerous to the
public tranquillity. News being received that Duke
Charles was at Fulda, measures were taken by the mili-
tary, and the Burger Guard, which rendered every inter-
ruption of public order almost impossible, and in fact none
has taken place, but precaution was necessary, as positive
information has been received, that emissaries sent from
Ilene and well furnished with money, are travelling about
the country to excite popular tumults. Duke William
has left the palace of Richmond, and to the joy of the in-
habitants resides now in the Bevern Palace:

It was reported yesterday afternoon that Duke Charles
had arrived on the boundary of the Southern Hats. A
detachment of sixty infantry, three hussars, and a number
of volunteers, immediately proceeded to Blankeaburg. It
is said that the Duke Charles received from the Elector of
Hesse a notification to leave Fulda and the Hessian terri-
tory in two days. The Duke went afterwards to Erfurt.

WEIMAR, Nov. 26.—We were thrown into alarm to-
day by the news that Goethe, deeply affected by the death
of his son, at Rome, was dangerously ill, having burst a
blood•vessel. _ .

Nov. 27.—Goethe is a little better, and some fain,
hopes remain of saving his life.

BORSEN.HALLS, DEC. 3, HALF PAST FOUR, r.n.—
The supply of wheat from the interior, though not very
considerable, remained partly unsold. The few purchases
that were made were for the consumption of the place; but
as the holders stand out for the high prices, the quotations
remain nearly the same as last week.
Nearly the same remarks apply to rye, the prices of
which likewise maintain themselves, although the sales ef-
fected are but few.
Some purchases were made far the Lower Elbe. Our
own consumers were rather shy.
The late arrivals of barley have been chiefly of inferior
quality. Our brewers buy but sparingly, but scarce par-
cels of prime quality have been taken for exportation.
Of oats the supply is abundant, and prices in conse•
quence maintain themselves with difficulty.
For rapeseed no demand.
From the 20th to the 26th alt. 54 cargoes of corn

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1830.

His MAJESTY held a Levee at St. James's Palace
,his day, et two o'clock.

In the House of Commons last night the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer (Lord ALTRORP) gave
notice that on Thursday he should move for a Select
Committee to be appointed, for the purpose of as-
certaining what reductions could be effected in the
salaries of persons holding office under the Crown.
This notice, which we should not omit to state
was followed by the loudest acclamations from all
parts of the 'louse, bespeaks a promptitude—a sin-
cerity—an eagerness to meet the public wishes on
the part of the new Ministry, which cannot fail to
render them popular throughout the kingdom. It
proves also, that they do not intend to restrict them-
selves to mere words; but to fulfill in a generous, dis-
interested spirit:their promise of severe retrenchment.
Lord ALTHORP, be it rememberea, only took his
seat in the House yesterday; but aware that there
was no time to be lost, made it his very first object
to give notice of the patriotic motion to which we
have just ulluded. This prompt energy in a good
cause will work wonders for the new Ministry. Its
first effect will be to calm agitation, and gain them
the confidence of the people; its second to ensure
them the support of all the respectable, influential,
and enlightened classes, who feel an interest in the
preservation of good order. What a contrast, in
this as well as in every other :respect, does the pre-
sent Government present to the last ! The latter
clung to office in desperate defiance of the people's
wishes; the former accepted it at their express desire.
The Administration of the Duke of WELLINGTON
scouted all ideas of Reform—the Administration of
Earl GREY avow that it is the chief object of their
ambition to carry it. Above all, let it never be for-
gotten that the last act of the WELLINGTON Admi-
nistration was to increase the Pension List, and
the first act of the GREY Administration to re-
duce it ! We hope the country will not
forget these things, but in the struggle that
must ere long ensue between the Broughmongers
and the Reformers, cast the weight of its influence
into the scale of justice, good sense, and liberality.

It will be remembered, that on the 9th of No-
vember the Members of the various Societies of
Trades, Manufactures, and Friendly Institutions,
in and about the Metropolis, had agreed on forming
part of the loyal escort which was to accompany his
MAJESTY to Guildhall.' Circumstances well known
to all, prevented this display of loyalty; and ac-
cordingly delegates from the different societies were
appointed to express their regret to his MAJESTY
that they should have been disappointed in the op-
portunity of displaying their attachment to his per-
son. his MAJESTY appointed this day to re-
ceive them, and accordingly at twelve o'clock
they proceeded, to the number of 8,000 or 10,000,
to Saint James's Palace, to present their Address.
We have rarely seen a more orderly and well
behaved aseemblage than this presented, and
cannot at all account for the apprehension of
the tradesmen in the line of march, who shut up
their shops as the procession passed by. Mr. MA-
CHIN and Mr. TIIURNELL, of the Cabinet-makers'
Society were, we understand, appointed to present
the address.

In another column we have inserted, in their
own words, some communications which we have
received from farmers and others on the subject of
the present agricultural distresses. The remarks,
though homely, are shrewd and worthy of at-
tention.

ARREST OF A MAN IN THE HOUSE OF

LORDS-(TITIS DAY.)

A great sensation was caused in the House of Lords
this morning by the arrest of an individual, whose
conduct for some days past has attracted the attention of the
officers in attendance. One of the messengers this morning
told him that he could not be suffered to remain loitering
about there any longer, upon which he instantly pulled a
pistol out of his pocket and inapt it at his bead. It
fortunately missed fire, or the messenger must have been
inevitably killed on the spot. The individual was
immediately taken into custody, and conveyed to the
Home-office. On being searched, a la►ge butcher's
knife, quite new, was found concealed on his person. He
was under examination before Sir R. Birnie, at the Home
lace, when we went to press. From his conduct alto-
gether there is no doubt but that he is a madman.

A meeting of the holders of Portuguese
Bonds is shortly to be held, for the purpose of appointing
a permanent Committee to watch over the interests of the
bondholders, and to take into full consideration the situa•
tion they stand in—first, as regards the Government of
Portugal ; second, that of Brazil ; and third, that of
Great Britain. And as the very peculiar position of the
Portuguese Bondholders cannot but be highly interesting
to the holders of all Foreign Bonds, in so far as the
breach of good faith put in practice towards them Most
inevitably serve as a dangerous precedent, and (unless.so-
lemnly protested against) put the axe to the root of all
public credit and confidence, the holders of Foreign fiends
in general are invited to attend this tneeting.-4forning
Paper.
