TO THE PUBLIC.

Mr. TAYLOR, the PROPRIETOR of TUE SUN
NEWSPAPFR, being desirous of lessening the La-
hour and Solicitude attending thu Conduct of a
Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of
it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources,
whose Political Principles correspond with those
which the Paper has always supported, and who
would be inclined to co:operate in Manage-
ment as well as Literary Composition. He would
rather at once dispose of the whole concern, if
- he did not venture to conceive that the steadiness
of his. Political Character has excited the confi-
dence of his Readers, and that his long experi-
ence may reasonably be supposed to attach some
credit to his competency in the conduct of a
Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these
a whit and threatening tunes every Public Man
should remain at his post, in order to contribute,
to the utmost of his pbwer, towards the defence
of our inestimable Constitution. Several In-
dividuals have offered to purchase the Paper;
but as it was founded under the immediate sanc-
tion of the late Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems
it his duty to consider it as a Political Legacy
left by that Illustrious Statesman to los Country,
to maintain and perpetuate those Principles which
are most conducive to the security of the State
and the happiness of the People.* Hence the Ad-
mirers of that enlightened Minister and true Pa-
triot may think that a Paper instituted by him,
and for such important objects, should be offered
to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher
considerations than mere regard to pecuniary ad-
♦antages, and animated by zeal for the general wel-
fare ; or at leas► to rose other whose interests may
be essentially united with the interest of the Coon-
try. -'l2o such Persons the Proprietor would most
willingly dispose of the entire concern ; awl,
however anxious he may he for repose, alter many
year, of toil anti solicitude, he would readily act
-as their Agent so long as his superintendance
might be regoiretl. it cannot be necessary to
dwell on tte hign reputation whirl) THE JUN
has so lung posses'ed, in consequence of the
undeviating consistency of its Political Character,
-and the uniform pi opriety of its general Conduct.
To soppto t a Goverament acting on the system
of Mr. PITT is the main principle by which the
Paper has been doected, and only by a fira ad-
lierenee to that system can it maintain its charac-
ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach-
ment to a System which comprehends the safety
of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser-
vile concurrence in the Measures of any Admini-
,stration. 13ot while Tiril..SUN perseveres in the
same direct course, it may reasonably expect the
support of the present Government, on account of
its Political Principles; and the reverence doe to
the memory of its Illustrious Founder, since an
indifference to the fate of such a Paper, oil. the
part old PITT ADMINISTRATION, would be a sole 7
cisrn, as well as a' reproach, which it is not likely
to incur. With not less confidence ►slay the
Paper rely on the protection of the Pao-
TaSTANT CHURCH, as it has so strennoosly st►p-
ported it that i' is supposed to be peculiarly
patronized by Toa CLERGY ; among whom
it certainly can boast of many. valuable Cot.=
respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be
well qualified, by abilities and knowledge, to in-
struct the 'Colinnonity at large, and, in these
times, should consider that they have duties
to fulfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they
might very priiperly possess themselves of a
Paper which would not only enable then to
spi cad right principles iii general, but also
to check those licentious and impious doctrines
which are daringly• inculcated with malignant
assiduity, and are manifestly intended to destroy'
the Religion and the Government of the Coun-
try. The Proprietor may confidently expect the
support of the PITT CLUBS throughout the British
-Empire. considering to whom Toe SUN owes its
origin, and from whom they derive their appeila-

re of little use. and must fall ltito languor and
decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse
and support the Principles upon which those
Associations are pi ofessedly established. THE
SUN may also expect the support of the REGuLAr.
SOLICITORs throughout the Kingdom, as that
Paper, and that alone, has zealously endeavoured
to maintain the honour of the Legal Profession,
by exempting it from all irregular Practitioners
and discreditable Intruders. Finally, THE SUN
may look to the PrzorLE AT LARGE for patronage
and encouragement on account of the steadiness
ofits Principles, its Pobhe Spirit, and its reso-
lute emleavours, on all occasions, to promote the
Honour and Interest of the Conntly. Such, then,
is -the Opportunity which the Proprietor now
offers to his Countrymen ; and as it presents A
TEsT TO PUBLIC VLETuE, and to GENUINE PA-
TEIoTISNI, he should insult the National Cha-
racter it he were not to suppose that among 'the
admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends of THE CON-
STITUTIoNt, many wise, independent, disinterested,
fiLignanitnnus BRITONS will be found ready, at
this awful crisis, to unite in order to become Pro-
prietors of a Paper which so obviously possesses
peculiar and prominent claims to National Pro-
tection.—None but Principals need apply in
Person, or by Letter, (post-paid) addressed to
the PttoraiEToE at THE SUN-OFFICE, 112, Strand.
N. B. This:address will be continued tiles' the
opportunity which it presents has been fully sub-
mitted to the United Kingdom ; nor will the
Proprietor hastily close with any offer, as lie can-

not but conceive that, in reference to the revered

Founder of the Paper, awl its established charac-
ter tor politicali corisisteney, the Proposal held

ford► tends to ascertain the extent of Public

Spirit.

* The Proprietor has been desired, by a Gentleman of rank,
who was in the confidence of Mr. Pm at the time, to state
that THE SUN Newspaper was not instituted for the mere
support of his own Administration, hut" for the PROTECTION
of the KING'S GOVERNMENT." Such was the magnanimous
oyalty of our great departed Statesman. Never was " the
• Ki GOVERNMENT" more founidahly threatened than it is
at present, and never was it more in need of loyal Adherents.
Wi; hope that .'.holsters are fully impressed with this truth,
otherwise the Throne and the Altar will at last be buried un-
Aer the rubbish of Atheistical Anarchy

FOR THE

" THE TIMES" and his present Patron—HUNT.

MR. EDITOR—To expose the insididus designs
of a certain time-serving wretch who has taken
so active a part in condemning the Manchester
Magiorates, I extract from that Journal the
language it gave to the world respecting the me-
morable Meeting at Spa-fields, on the 2d Dec.
1816. Let his readers compare what he says
now with what he said then, and I can readily

anticipate the contemptuous disgust with which
they evil henceforward turn from him. Let
the;ii also compare the Spa-fields Meeting, where,
be it retnembered, th4e were only 10,000 persons
collected, with the Manchester Meeting, where
there were seven times that number—let them
compare it I say—and apply it to the Manchester
alf,iirs, and I need not hesitate to guess, if they
be impartial men, what judgment they will
pronounce.

Times, Dec. 2, 1816.—" The precautions
that have been taken are very proper; for there
is no doubt, but that Hunt's vanity and wicked-
mess will prompt him to excite a riot if he can ;
and he will be mightily disappointed, if he does
not occasion the committing at least half a dozen
of his adherents to Newgate. It would certainly
he tar more equitable that he should himself be
sent to the House of Cdrrection : and there is far
more reason for treating him so, than many of
the vagrants who are occasionally taken up at
boxing matches, or other disorderly meetings.—
If a poor ballad-singer, in the midst of his
warbling, is laid hold of by a Peace officer, why
should not Mr. Hunt's less melodious strains be
cut short by the same authority ? He calls toge-
ther leis hearers by an infidunnatory hand-bdl, the
true English of which is, last time you attacked
the bakers' shops, now you must attack the Gentle-
men? houses. Are the 'Magistrates to look on
patiently at this insult to law, order, and public
peace ?"

Times, Dec. 3, 1816.—" The offence evidently
assumed the character of insurrection against the
Laws and Government of the Country—wild and
desperate as such a scheme must have been, yet
a scheme the violets certainly bad. They marched
under their own banners ;, they paraded through
the streets; their forces were divided into se-
parate hands, setting the - Chief Magistrate of
Ihe City, with all his Officers, at defiance. if
what Hunt did yesterday was lawful, why he
may do the same to-morrow and every day. He
may disturb the peace of the City, put a stop to
all trade and business, alarm every family for the
lives of all that are dear to them, and keep the
Metropolis in a state of terror, to which the days
of Robespierre alone are comparable. Happily
we possess a firm and vigilant Chief Magistrate.—
We are hound to add our tribute of commenda-
tion to the activity displayed in the Home De-
partment."

Times, Dec. 4, 1816.—" That there was a
plot—that there was a combination of criminal
views—that there was an ulterior object iii calling
these Spa-fields Meetings, •it would now be only
folly or insincerity to Etretend to doubt. As to
the foreseeing what was to happen--have we
forgotten Mi. Hunt's advice on the first day, to
petition then, and if that failed, to resort to
physical force. A question of great moment is,
who caused the seditious flags to be wrought,
and furnished the inflammatory inscriptions
on them These flags, but too well adapted to
he purposes of insurrection, were prepared
beforehand, and unfurled at the fit moment,
immediately attet an harangue, of which they
seem to be the text. What seems most pro-
bable is, that the
\‘ principal delinquents' meant
to tread the verge of treason—that they ar-
ranged a plan which might divide the pat from
the danger, keeping the former for themselves,
and allotting the latter to their adherents ; this is
generally the object of those who take the lead
in treason. Au Evening Paper talks of the Home
Departtnent baying made arrangements for re-
pressive measures. Now we have always thought
prevention better than remedy. We have no idea
that it is necessary to wait until a person is assas-
sinated before measures are taken to disperse a
seditious assembly."

Times, Dec. 5, 1816.--•-" If the rioters•had 83•
sembled in four or five large handi night-fall,
and marching under their assumed-banners, in
different directions, had made their 'attack simul-
taneously in separate quartets of the town,
shrouded in darkness, or rendered more terrific
and more dangerous by their blazing torches, the
repressive measures would probably have come too
late to preserve the Metropolis from scenes of
bloodshed, plundtr, and conflagration, which

intaginationirernh;es even to contemplate as pos-
sible. And what is the apology for. not having
resorted to preventive measures ? • Why, forsooth,
that the people nui.a not he prevented from exer-
cising their right of rati:ioning !, assuredly they
must nor. It is a- most sacred right ; and the
more sacred it is, the more necessary is it for the
true friends of our Coostitution to guard against
its abuse, by traitots, whose object is not, peti-
tion, but riot and revolution. But are we to be
duped, deluded, and laughed at by a set of in-
cendiaries, with the mere word Petition ? Is a
plot of robbery and murder to be sugared over
with this false and frivolous pretence; and are we

wilfully to shut our eyes to the deception It is
a poor argument to say that the Home Secretary
dared not interfere to prevent the meeting, with-

out incurring the calumny of the Journals. We

only regret that he did not see his duty exactly
in the same light which we do."
Tinter, Dec. 6, 1316.—" On Hunt's legal guilt
some cloud still rests ; but of his moral crimina-
lity, no person can entertain much doubt.—Un-

fortunately for him, the commencement of his

speech at the first Meeting, shows that he did not
come thither by accident, or in ignorance of the
l►ersons who convened and managed the assembly;

but they sent for him ; they had influence enough
with, him to bring him 100 miles hum the coon•

try ; they bud preparettevery thing for his recep-

tiun—the tri coloured flag, the cop of liberty, tfi

THE SUN.

SOLEM QUIS OICEKE FAISIIM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, t 8.12.

We received yesterday and this morning the
Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. The
KING on Widnesday presided at a Council of

Ministers.

The report that the Council of State bad re-
fused to register the Bulls issued by the POPE,
under the recent Convention with the Court of
Rome, for putting in possession of their Sees the
Prelates nominated by the KING, is erroneous :
it appears by the Journals of Thursday, that after
some discussion, the Bulls had been formally re-
gistered by the Council of State.
The new Queen of SPAIN set out from Lyons on
the 18th instant, to proceed on her journey to the
Spanish frontier.
From Strasburg, the 17th inst. it is stated, that
a great number of Jewish families had arrived
within a few days preceding at Haguenau and at
%Veissemburg, with the intention of seeking safety
and protection in France.
From Frankfort it is mentioned, that the re-
sults of the deliberations at Carlsbad were about
to be submitted to the Germanic Diet, and to be
published. It is now said, with regard to the
Press, that all previous Censorship is to be abo-
lished ; but that a General Tribunal is to be esta-
blished at Mayence, for the purpose of exercising
jurisdiction over all the public Journals of the
States of the Confederation.

The Emperor of RUSSIA is expected to arrive
at Warsaw to-morrow, to remain there till the
15th October, and then to return to Petersburgh.
A paragraph somewhat mysteriously worded in
a Frankfort letter, dated the 17th instant, says,
" there arrives here but little news from Stye-
tku, and the communications appear' for some

time to have become more difficult." Another
article, still more mysterious, is given from •
German Jourrial, as an extract of a letter from Po'
ten, the sth instant, as follows It is assert'
ed, that a great Northern Sovereign is expected at
Warsaw about the middle of this month, and the
epoch is designated as that of the regeneration of
a kingdom whose fate still inspires the deepest in.
serest. There are expected at Warsaw, at the
same time, several other personages of the highest
rank."

It is reported, on the authority of a traveller
recently arrived from Martinique, that the Presi.
dent BOYER, of Hayti, had manifested a desire to
enter into a Treaty of Commerce with France.

The following are extracts from the Journals
of Friday:—

" PARIS, SEPT. 24.—The King again visited

I We should deem ourselves wanting in pstrlefie
spirit if we did not rejoice in having received the
letter from Nottingham, which our Readers will
find in TUB SUN of this day; not merely on ac'
count of its complimentary language towards out
'Paper, but because it shews that a body of Gentle'
men exist in that town who are animated by soya
principles of loyalty and a zealous attach"
meta to our unrivalled Constitution. We boll°
that their sentiments will animate their towns'
men in general, and that they will follol/
the admirable example of the City of Nora
wick, and come forward with a DECLARATIOO
equally expressive of a firm devotion to that
system of Government, which has long render'
ed us the freest and happiest on the face O
the Globe which we doubt not will effectually
triumph over the rebellious miscreants who novt
assail it, and descend in undiminished purity to
the last generation of our Countrymen.
