the following Letter appeared yesterday in
Sunday Newspaper, entitled JOHN BULL :

" TO JOHN BULL.
have observed the following paragraph among the
''otices to Correspondents," in your Paper of yesterday :
"We know nothing of the Mr. BOONE of whom AMK US
:STITI& speaks, except that he brags in all the booksellers
Ps that he is going to set up a newspaper under the imme-
'iete Patronage of a Cabinet Minister."
As the name is by no means a common one, and as it is here
Pithr
Istied in a manner which can hardly be agreeable to its
IletS, it becomes due to themselves to take some notice of
t 4,.
'lniputation. You, Sir, I think, ought either to have been
kor
0 particular in your description of the rrson of whom you
Pretend to have such " knowledge," or to have abstained from
01e
titioning the name at all.
It is possible that I may be " the Mr. BOONE" to whom
°os
t allude, as I have for some time had it in contemplation
establish a new political work; in conjunction with other
Pities, who think about ministerial encouragement or protec-
elust as much as myself. In that c 0, I can only say, that
ke,,l'est of your statement is entirely ' ;e, both in the letter
to' in the spirit, from beginning to end. I hasten, therefore,
trsuleet it, as far as I am concerned, with a direct and positive
represented
as I will not suffer myself, if I can help it, to be
t:Presented bY the conductors of a weekly journal, in a charac-
ter as completely at variance with my feelings and habits as it
v„ulgar and contemptible in itself.
th?o far from " bragging in all the booksellers shops that I
t'„:' going to set up a newspaper," I most distinctly assert, that,
/leePt for the occasional purpose of buying a new publication,
I„"aNre been in only one bookseller's shop for the last three
,-.'°uths, and in that shop I never remember to have said a
',lk ogle word upon the subject of a newspaper. Ido not believe
there are three booksellers in London to whom my person
IktlOwn ; and, after all, Sir, however much a good newspaper
l'ey be required, the intention of setting one up is no such
'eat matter to " brag" about.
The conclusion of the sentence, with reference to myself, is
:t,'iinitely absurd. I have never " bragged," and could never
brag of going" to do any thing under the immediate pa.
t
r°llage of a Cabinet Minister; I can lay no claim to it, and,
abatis far better, I stand in no need of it.
ti I therefore, Sir, make my first appeal to your sense of can.
°kir and justice. I expect that you will give this letter in-
sertion in your Paper of next week—or that you will correct
your mistake--or that you will offer such other satisfactory
el planation as you may think fit.
I write thus early that you may have full opportunity, be-
fore Sunday, of malting farther inquiries, and considering what
course you choose to pursue.—l am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES S. BOONE.
a, Lincoln's Inn-fields, Monday, Dec. 16,1822."

Lord KENYON'S loss by the True Briton
newspaper is well calculated to alarm some of
the trajfickers,—the dealers and chapman,—in
P, ()Mies! The True Briton was established by
ois Lordship's funds, and in opposition, we un-
derstand,to that consistent, loyal, and respect-
4-hle Journal, The Sun. The nominal pro-
prietors, SWIFT, MERLE, and STOCKDALE, Were,
in fact, merely the servants of his Lordship ;
for, his Lordship was to exercise an absolute
enntroul over the conduct of the paper,—he
was to allow what portion of the profits he
thought proper, amongst the above, according to
his own estimate of their respective merits,—he
was to dismiss them at his .pleasure,--and he
was to apply the surplus profits, after, their re.
Inuneration, to, such benevolent institutions as he
'night think fit. The Commissioners of Bankrupt,
It appears, decided that his Lordship was a
Partner in the concern ! It seems to us, on the
Contrary, that his Lordship was sole and absolute
Proprietor.—(British Monitor, Dec. 21.)
A. letter dated Colmar, Dec. 13, says—" The
theatre of Mulhausen has been shut up, and this
act of severity was rendered necessary by the
scandalous conduct of a part of the spectators.
The Illelomanie was the piece, and VICTOR per-
formed the part of Crispin. On his appearing
with a white cockade, he was hissed by several
Persons. In a succeeding scene Crispin, accord-
ing to the text of the piece, ought to put his
Cockade in his pocket ; but the actor tore it from
his hat, crushed it in his hand, and threw it be-
hind the scenes. Applause immediately followed,
even from the boxes, and showed the feeling of
the spectators. An inquiry into this affair is
commenced ."—(Jour nal du Commerce.)
We understand the Archbishop of CANTER-
ktty arrived in town early this morning from
his seat, Croydon.
On Thursday, the Duke of GLOUCESTER ar-
rived in town from Norfolk. Saturday, his
Royal Highness honoured Drury-lane Theatre
With his presence, for the first time this season, to
see the new Opera.
It is with regret we have to announce the death
of the Countess D'AGLIE, the Sardinian Ambas-
sador's Lady, who departed this life at eleven
o'clock yesterday morning, at his Excellency's
house, in Charles-street, Berkeley-square. Her
Ladyship had been ill ever since her accouche-
inent.
Saturday a large splendid Monument, to the
memory of the late Mr. PERCEvAL, was opended
in Westminster Abbey. It represents him fall-
ing at the moment of assassination. Bellingham,
his assassin, is introduced. The likeness of the
late Minister is considered excellent.
The able state paper written by Mr.CANNING,
and presented by the Duke of WELLINGTON to
the Congress, is said to be equal to the celebrated
one written by the same gentleman during the
Continental war.—( Liverpool Advertiser.)
We regret to state that Captain RAGGETT, R.N. was seized
?I?, Thursday last with a paralytic affecttion, which deprived
him of the use of his side, and that he still continues se-

roiusly ill.
