persons, by order of Mr. Graham, and have under-
gone private and stria investigations before that

evening, to apprehend a m.in of 1110 itnne of Hart,
who, it has been ascertained, worked in the house
of Mr. M tir on the day the murders were corn.,

UNION•HALL.—A man, who is superintendant
of the labourers at a wharf in Tofdey-street, *as
brought before Cie Sitting Al igisttate by Coll:ng=
bourn and Glennon, cnarged on' suspicion of the
wilful murder of Timothy Donaghu, an Irish la-
bourer.

It appeared that the deceased was a labourer
working under the prisoner, and was ordered by
bim to du some particular work; instead of comply,:
ing, however, he made use -of some impertinent
language, and proceeded so far as to give the pri-,
soner a slap of the face. The prisoner observed he
was to blame for ding that to a man who had it
in his power to break his neck. Further words
ensued, and the prisoner pushed the dec(-ased, and
two others, off the wharf into the water; and in the
fall the head of the deceased came in contact with
the side of a vessel, and he immediately sunk under
water. : The body was taken out in less than ten
minutes, and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, s here
every effott was niide use of to restore suspended
animation, but in vain, The prisoner was com-
mitted for re-examination, when the result, of the
Coroner's Icquest will be known,

A few mornings since early, the house of Samuel
Salter, E 4 of Rickmansworth, was broke open,
and robbed of a quantity of plate, jewellery, and
other property.

FOR THE SUN;

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES)

FROM A BRITISH AMERICAN COLONIST.

[From a Halifax raper,3

AMERICANS,

The individual addressing you is a Mitish subject,
residing in a colony of that happy country to which
your ancestors owed the first breath of life. He lives
under t. e controul and proteetion of those laws
which are the very sinews of. your own constitoti-
onal col-, and under the shield of that parental 2rrn
which was long extended over you, and v.ould be.so
novtkif you would allow it, in the defence of all that
can be dear and valuable to men who owe their
&scent to Britons. +le-lives under the-Government
of England, partaking of the enjoyment of its pure
and solid freedom, and submitting, for the guidance
of his .moral and political condoa, to its long tried
regulations, the very best that have ever been known
to the world, free from the heavier burthens of the
Mother State, and paying only those moderate
tributes whichare imposed by Colonial Representa-
tion.

- So you once lived, Americans ; and not thirty
years have elapsed since you wert. declared by our
parent count' y to be independent of those blessings
of which I am now cordially bJasting the enjoyment..
Whether yOu are happier for that independence, I
will notieven hazard. a conjecture ; perhaps you are
--,Avhether you are the more wealthy for it, does
rot admit of a question ; you certainly are;—and
whether,- by becoming more wealthy, you have made
yourselves more respectable and more important in
the eyes of the civilized world, is so plain in the
affirmative, that I would not make it a subje& of
su¢jed of discussion. Whether you
.are the safer
for your independence, in
,the possession of what
your skill, your enterprize, your industry, and your
good fortune, have acquired for you, is a question
_totally dependent, you will forgive an Englishman
for-saving so, upon the degree of affection that you
may yet- cherish for thAt conntry, which, at one
time, Lou emphatically and justly styled your home,
and for that people whoa) you once considered as
your brethren, by Zhei.ies of blood of every relative
connection.

England loves the Americans.; I say it not in the
canting, hypetritical tone of Gallic usurpation, I
make the assertion with seriousness and sincerity,
and while I make it, I consider not the unjustifiable
feelingS of,d prejudiced few among my fell ,w coun-
trymen, but I talk Of the nation colleCir..ely„as' pos-
sessing those sentiments of attachment and good
understanding towards America which will well
warrant my assertion, upon the reason of •the thing
it must be S 3. A general and cursory view of hu-
man nature will cont ince us that it must be other-
wise'.: front what sourct.s arise those affeetions of
tl Olean which unite us to each other as individuals?
the bare circumstance of one common parent giving
life to the offspring of one family creates brotherly
lows, and will not the same rule affection apply
to 'rations ?
We have not on our part forgot the relationship ;
we.daily feel that impression of regard inevitably re-
sulting from the'refledion that Americans and Eng-
lishmen have_) he same stock of. ancestry, the same
spirit of enterprise, and the same love of liberty ; and
let me tell you, Americans, those will be your hap-
piest days in Which you can, with sincerity, return
an equal profession,of attachment.
That every power of reason and atTealion Should
impel the mind an.l heart to that iiiieetion, not one
among yon c.m have a doubi ; it is your interest so
to incline, yon-ive been oftemtold by many of your
own coUntryrtie:i, and, should any, future event in
in the political, world put.the position to the test, de-
pend.upon it you will find there was much wisdom
in their. council., •

p..iriii„; the long range. of two centuries, your
forefather's were itabibing from the springs of the pa-
rent. S a.e all :those whole Some principles of a reli-
gious, moral, and political tendency, which forM toe
brightest traits of your present -national character;
to:them, and to your English ancestors from whom
they were descended, you owe every_thing that now
. gives yotl a.fespedable appearance on .the list of na-
tines; your commercial importance, upon which
alone your aggrandizement:has been founded, and
upon which alone your your -prOsperity and welfare
can subsist, flows from the same ancient source ;
your ships are of English construtlion, and your
seamen of English origin, the less there is of British
ingredient in either ot.them{the farther you must be
considered as removed "from that nautical skill and in-
trepidity, which are your- just inheritance; your
spirit ot enterprize, your thirst of commerce, and
your z al of lauable speculation, -which have pro-
pelled you to the remotest Corners of the habitable
globe, are all ot English extraction : to these cha-
racteristic qualities you are 'indebted for a hard-
earned prat., that .I)as added rta your wealth and,
'your coilsemence, and which-, it preserved with
cautious attention to your political relations, will, at
solve future peridd not tar 'distant, render you a
nation ot wisdom, of power and of fame.
YOu are a people fond of liberty; and to whom
do you owe this rational and. happy propensity,,but
to the nation that gave you existence as a people ?
From the Magna Charta of o.d England,-from our
boated Bill of Rights—from our ats of Habeas-
Corpus, pnd our acts of freedom of every denomi-
nation, you have derived your love of liberty : the
sure way to retain it is by .an adherence to the in-
terest and prosperity, and exis:ence of that Country,
out of tite heart of which you have obtained so great
2 olessing. Ii was Englaud that taught your fathers
to ' snub the approach of tyranny in every tainted
breeze :" • take care, Amerians, that you do not
io.e the efficacy of that -precept, by listening to the
tclaiptin,wiles of theeotunion foe of the country.of
-your incestors. •
i:rom the same respeaable source you have de:i
ri',,ktiTtiatse'laws of civil and criu Mal import, which
coostitut4 the very snot of your Government, and
witirnm which you could _have had netthera moral
- nor a political existence, for no other la As tvouid
have suited you ; }on had the blood and the spirit
of EtOrstimen when yoti received your independ-
erc , _icrid no other:- constitution could have tan-
-iwt,red• the purposes of Jour newly .:“.quited situa-
