TO THE ►'UBLIC.

Mr. TAyLotz, the PRoPittuTon of THE Su
NrEWSPAPER, being desirous of lessening the 144..
hour and Solicitude attending the Conduct of a
Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of
It to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources,
whose Political Principles correspord with those
which the Paper has always Pupportecl, and .who
lvould be inclined to co-operate in Manage-
ment as well as Liierary Composition. He Would
rather at once dispose of the ‘vhole, concern, if

•
Ile did not venture to conceive that the steadiness
of his Political Character has excited the confi-
dence of his Headers, 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
atviul and threatening times every
,Public Man
should remain at his post, in order to contribute,
to the utmost of his power, to►vards tie defence.
of our inestimable Constitution. Several In-
dividuals ha•+e offeted to purchase the Paper;
hut as it was founded under the immediate sanc-

Tien of the Irate Mr. PITT, the, Proprietor deems
it his duty to consider it as a Political Legacy
left by that Illustrious Statesman to his Country,

to maintain and perpetuate those Ptinciples which
are most conducive to the security of the State
and the happiness of the People.* flence the Ad-
mirers of that enlightened Minister and trite Pa-
triot may think that a Paper instituted by him,
and for such important .f.objects, should be offered
to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher

considerations than mere regard to pecuniary ad-
Yam ages, and animated by zeal for the general wel-
fare ; or at least to any other whose interests may
be essentially united with the intetest of the Coon.
It y. To such Persons the Proprietor would most
willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and,
however anxious he may be for repose, after mail
Years of toil and solicitude, be would readily act
as their Agent so long as his superintendance
might be required. It cannot be necessary to
dwell on the high reputation which THE SUN
has so long possessed, in consequence of the
undeviating consistency of its Political Character,
and the uniform propriety of its general Conduct.

To support a Government acting on the system
of Mr. PITT is the main principle by which the
Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad-

Iterenee to that system can it maintain its charac-
ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach-

went 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. Bin while THE 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 due to
the memory of its Illustrious Founder, since an
indiffererce to the fate of such a Parer, on the
part of a PITT ADMINISTRATION, would be a sole-
cism, as well as a reproach, which it is not likely
to incur. With not less. confidence may the
Paper rely on the protection of the Pito-
. TESTANT CHURCH, as it has so strenuously sap-
ported it that it is supposed to be peculiarly
patronized by THE CLERGY ; among whom
it certaitily can boast or many valuable Cor-
respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be
Weil qualified, by abilities and knowledge, to in-
struct the Community at, large, and, in these
times, should , consider that they have ditties
to fulfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they
might very properly possess themselves of a
Paper which would not only enable them to
spread right principles its general, but also
to check those licentious and impious doctrines
which ate 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 Tue SUN owes its
origin, and from whom they derive their appella-
tion. ANNUAL CELEBRATIONS of a BIRTH-DAY

are of little use, and must fall into languor and
decay, unless effective means arc taken to diffuse
and support the Principles. upon which those
Associations are professedly established. THE
Sing may alio expect the support ot 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 SIN
may look to the PEOPLE AT LARGE for patronage
and encouragement on account of the steadiness
of its Principles, its Public Spirit, and its reso-
lute endeavours, on all occasions, to promote the
Honour and Interest ot the Country. Such, then,
is the Opportunity which the Proprietor now
offers to his Countrymen ; and as it presents A
'J'EST TO PUBLIC VIRTUE, and to GENUINE PA-
TEIOTISS4, he should insult the National Cha-
racter if he were not'to suppose that-among the

admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends of Tun CON-
STITUTION, many vvise, independent, disinterested,
magnanimous BRITONS will he 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 PROPRiETOR at Tu SUN-OFFICE, 112, Strand.

N. B. This Address will be continued till the
opportunity which it presents has been fully sub-
mitted to the United Kingdom ; nor will the
Proprietor hastily close with any offer, as he can-
slot but conceive that, in reference to the revered
Founder of the Paper, and its established charac-
ter for political consistency, the Proposal held
forth tends to ascertain the extent of Public
Spirit.

1, The Proprietor has been desired, by a Gentleman of rank,
who was in the confidence of Mr. PITT at the time, to state
that THE: SUN Newspaper was not instituted for the mere
eupport of his own Administration, but " for the PROTECTION
of the KING'S GOVERNMENT." Such was the magnanimous
loyalty of our great departed Statesman. Never was "the
KING'S GOVERNMENT" more formidably threatened-than it is
at present, and never was it more in need of loyal Adherents.
We hope that Ministers are fully impressed with this truth,
otherwise the Throne and the Altar will at last be buried un-
der the rubbish of Atheistical Anarchy.
