FOR THE SUN.

Ma. EDITOR.--Observing by an extract from
the Times in your Paper of yesterday, that Com-
missioners are now in London, on the part of
Spain, endeavouring to procure a new Loan-trust
for the honour of England, the interest of our
countrymen, and all others concerned, I hope that
strict justice will be done,
in the first place, in re.;
spect to the last Loan, or that Spain will be cogn..:
pelted so to act, previous to her presenting herself
for a second time before a British Public, whose
national integrity is so justly appreciated. This
business must be most narrontly watched by our
free, glorious, and respectable press, when we con-
sider the anguish which has been thus brought to our
fire-side. The calamity of this hitherto swindling
transaction on the part of the King of Spain and
his present Government has already to my know-
ledge entailed suicide and dire misfortunes on
too many families in this country ; and well are
we aware as Britons, that were it not for the
'danger of disturbing the general tranquillity, our
'own Government would no doubt vindicate the
rights of its most injured subjects, for although
private, it may in truth be said that it is also na-:
tional British Capital which has been then stolen.

—Thank God it is not thus that Great Britain
has established her far-spread renown, for if
had, she never would have become the admira-

Lion (and proud am I to say) and the enq of
surrounding nations. Perhaps on the Continent
they think us too much absorbed with our
affairs in Ireland and elsewhere, to be very scrtt-
pulous on this point,—let them be aware that
though made of much sterner stuff, we are never-
theless not less acute than themselves ; and if
they want to return there for means, their pass-
port to our purses must be Honour and Probity.
No compromise must we make, as Englishmen,
with those who would in any or the smallest
wise fail to keep faith with us. I conclude by
sincerely hoping that the Press of England will
look well to this. I remain,

Sir, your's most respectfully,
A Constant Reader,
