NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

SUN OFFICE, JA N. 1, 1836.
From this day Advertisements will be received at
THE SUN Office up to Two o' Clock, and in-
serted without any extra charge. The extraor-
dinary speed of our Machinery, which prints at the
rate of One Hundred Sheets per Minute, enables
us to delay going to Press much later than other
Papers ; and this extension of time will, we trust,
be found occasionally very convenient or those
who may be delayed in getting Advertisements
ready for the usual time of going to Press.

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day
at Three o' Clock.

feudal chiefs who governed them—the Circassians have
for nearly a century been able to bid defiance to the
military forces of Russia. The Imperial arms have
often devastated the beautiful vallies lying at the foot
of the mighty precipices of the Caucasus, and not a
few of the Uzdens_or Nobles, together with their faith-
ful retainers, have perished in the dungeons of the
fortresses erected along the banks of the Terek and
Kuban for the defence of the Russian territory ;
nevertheless the tribe of KABIRDI asserted the inde-
pendence of a region which its valour had freed from
the yoke imposed upon it by the Sophis of Persia.
The Circassians are a brave, warlike, independent, and
hitherto, a free people. They are the mortal foes of
Russia ; and in fact present the only barrier between
her and the subjugation of a great part of Persia.
Despite of the efforts that have been made to destroy
them, they have, within the last ten years, rapidly in-
creased in numbers ; and as they have considerably
abated feudalism among themselves, so as to neutralize
by customs regarded as inviolable, the absolute power
claimed by the Uzdens, they have risen to the dignity
of a people, who, independent of their situation, are de-
serving of the protection of every free, enlightened, and
just Government.
We know the answer which Russia is prepared to
make should we remonstrate against her invasion of
Circassia. She would say to us—" You know no-
thing of what I have endured at the hands of this
stiff-necked, proud-crested race. I have built fortresses
along the Terek to protect my territory against its
predatory excursions ; I have made it an offer of my
friendship, a guarantee sufficient to protect it against
every enemy. I have even offered to extend to it that
civilization which renders the presence of my arms a
boon and blessing to the conquered ; yet how was I
repaid for these proofs of my disinterested regard ?
The Uzdens dared to refuse me a passage for my ar-
mies, though dispatched by.me in aid of the authority
of my ancient and beloved ally the SULTAN ; and
when I proposed to chastise certain miscreant rebels
who dared to raise the standard of revolt in the Otto-
man empire, I found myself bearded, and even thwarted,
in my noblest designs by this handful of ungrateful
barbarians 7. Yet think not that I propose to con-
quer Circassia on my own account. The territory
would be useless to me. What I seek is the chas-
tisement of certain Uzdens who have dared to enter
into conspiracies against the SULTAN. You see
my hands—they are bloodless. My heart is still, if
possible, more innocent, My designs towards the Cir-
cassians are those of a benevolent' power, who sees
with regret the errors of those whom it has cherished,
and who, by employing a vigorous, but wholesome re-
straint, desires to prevent the recurrence of evils
which the wise and good must equally deplore. But
why alarm yourselves ? You are powerful. If Ido
evil, do I thereby prevent you redressing any wrong
which I may have the misfortune to inflict upon you ?
But dismiss your terrors. My imperial word is a
sufficient guarantee that I only seek to benefit those who
seek to blacken me in the eyes of Western Europe--
the inhabitants of Circassia." Such is in substance
the language which Russia would employ till she had
gained her object—such in substance is the language

she has ever employed in similar emergencies. When
cities present but a heap of smoking ruins—when fer-
tile plain's are devastated by the arms of victorious
Generals—something more than th roar of British
cannon is required to re-build, re-peopre;. oLtra re enrich.
the former, and to re-cultivate the latter. Merchants
are not generated by the smoke of gunpowder, nor are
husbandmen increased or rendered more industrious
by a shield which only protects when danger has passed
away. To act wisely, we must act in time. It is a
bitter mockery to evince displeasure at the sight of
chains, if we previously stand placidly observing their
imposition, with cries of " help ! help !" ringing in
our ears.

The people of England may hear with indif-
ference that the independence of ..a race so in-
significant as the Circassians is threatened by
Russia ; and may •even-be tempted- to ask—What
are • the liberties of the Circassians an(l Georgians
to us ? The question will he answered to our
cost, should Russia be able, by this route, to penetrate
to India, and so contest with us the sovereignty of our
Eastern Empire. Should Circassia be added to the
Russian territory, the fall of Persia—the Poland of
the East—will soon follow ; and then will England
know of what importance it would have been to have
responded to the prayer of the brave people who, for
• nearly half a century, have defended the passes of the
Caucasus against the devastating hordes of Russia.
We have heard, with some surprise, certain pre-
sumptions on the future policy of Europe, put forth
by the political organ of the high Tory party—the
• Otandard. According to that journal, the Tories
only are capable of forming a government with abili-
ties to counterbalance the intriguing policy of Russia,
and with power capable of resisting her aggressions.
Our contemporary, in common with all Tories, is not
blessed with the best memory in the world. Of
Course he has entirely forgotten Sir ROBERT PEEL'S
appointment of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, as
Ambassador from Great Britain to the Court of
Russia ! The sentiments of the Noble Marquis with
respect to the fall of Poland, are, unfortunately for
himself, too well known. He saw in the destruction
of Polish independence, only the merited prostration
of " rank" rebellion ; and yet this is the Nobleman
whom the Tories dared to select, to repel the aggres-
sions of the Nero of the North ! And even were this
not sufficient to undeceive the country with respect to
the present Tory squad, what need is there to look
beyond the copy of the despatch from Prince LIEVEN
to Count NESSELRODE, written during the Wellington
Administration, to which we devoted a rather long ar-
ticle in our impression of yesterday ? That despatch
is an imperishable record of the incapacity of the
"-Greatest Captain of the age," as a ministerial nego-
ciator with such an adroit power as Russia. We re-
peat this with all due deference to the military genius
of the Duke of WELLINGTON. We are confident
that his Grace's sword would soon correct the errors of
his pen ;. but every Tory Chief is not exactly a Duke
of WELLINGTON ; and in the figurative language of
the East, " If these things happen to the green tree,
what may not happen to the dry ?"
Russia has already broken down her western barrier
let England beware lest she also break down the only one
which impedes her progress in the East. 'What has
been done in one quarter may be done in another—un-
less we instantly interfere to prevent it. By saving
Circassia, we shall save our- Indian Empire ; by suf-
fering it to be lost, we sacrifice our Eastern possessions.

The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have
been received. _ They speak of nothing but the Royal
Speech on Tuesday, upon which we made ample com-
ments in The Sun of yesterday. On all sides, and
by every party, the Speech is viewed exactly in the
light in which it presented itself to us. There is a
great deal of talk about plots and conspiracies ; but
some well-informed persons in the office of the Mi-
nister of the Interior, M. TIMMS, have not hesitated
to assure their friends that no conspiracy was detected,
for that none existed—at least with the design of at-
tacking the sacred person of the KING.

PARIS, DEC. 30.—The Moniteur says nothing of the reports
of a plot and of arrests which engaged the attention of all
Paris yesterday.

It is affirmed that M. Ilumann shrinks from the responsi-

bility of the presentation of two projects of law on the appan-
age of the Duke of Nemours and the portion of the Queen
of Belgium. M. de Broglie will, it is said, take on himself
this ministerial demand. Wo may expect to see the Minister
of Finance;in return for this kindness, shortly present some
project of law which properly falls to the department of
foreign affairs. The only way in fact to render a burden more
easy, if we cannot get rid of it, is to change shoulders.—
Impart ial.
The Isabella 11. steam-boat, belonging to the Spanish Go-
vernment, had entered the river to receive at Bordeaux part of
the uniforms which the house of Vasquez and Company is
having made up for the Queen's troops, but the ice preventing
it from going up the river it has been obliged to put to sea
again.
Three of the companies of Gonfalonsere and- Silvio Pellice,
imprisoned in the Castle of Spielberg, have just obtained a
commutation of the punishment of carte duro to transportation
to America. Their names are Foresti, Borsiere, and Cas-
tiglia, who were condemned in 1821.—Messager, Dcc. 30.

Boutin THREE o'CLocx.—There has been very little fluc-
tuation to-day, and not much business done. The Three per
Cents. at Tortoni's were done at 80f. 15c., but at the Bourse
they have recovered a little.
The Spanish stock has fallen a little; this is not ascribed
to any nevi s received from Spain, but proceeds rather from
realizations of profits.

We have advices from Lisbon to the 26th ult. On
the 25th two vessels sailed from Oporto to Spain, with
troops, ammunition, &c., to reinforce the Constitutional
army. Rumoui s then existed on the probability of a
speedy change of Ministry.

We give in another part of The Sun a copy of the
Spanish Ministerial project of law respecting the li-
berty of the press. It is an important document.
Were we not prevented by the length of our Maga-
zine notices, we would devote an article to the consi-
deration of its details, object, and probable effects.

In referring to the City Article in the Times of
Wednesday, on the subject of the Danish claims,
which will be found in another part of our Paper, it is
with regret we feel ourselves obliged to express our
fears that Ministers do not understand their position as
regards the Danish question. Their real friends ex-
pected that they would have acted up to those princi-.
ples which the Whigs from 1807 down to recent times
have professed to hold, as to the iniquity of retaining
the spoils obtained from the seizure of Danish private
property, and the imperious necessity of vindicating
the national character, by appropriating out of its pro-
ceeds the sum necessary to compensate those who
suffered in consequence of that seizure.
