MR. EDITOR.—As I obsekve that your Paper
'ends to cliec•k vice a,;(1 folly as well as to guard

oar Establishment in Church and State from the
ihroads of 1)()P1,11Y, I think it is incumbent on you

1° gay somet in on the manners of the times,

Ind ut to content yourself. with giving a Register
of Position, which howeVer amusing it may be
to wally of your Country Readers, cannot he
gratifying to the wiser part of them; We have
Sumptuary Laws in this Country, and if we
baie they are now obsolete, and ate totally dis-
legaided ,by our. Government. Indeed, Ido not
see the policy of Sumptuary Laws in a Great
State, for by a rigid enforcement of them many
branches of trade and manufactures would be at
a stand, and hence Rogues might be expected to
13iultiply, while Heaven knows that we have too
lany of them already-in every class of the com-
Oninity. In one of the former numbers of your
Journal, you have professed a disposition to render
it indeed a Pußtac PRINT. if you adhere to your
'Professions you will be supported by THE PUBLIC,
and will have no reason to court -the favour of
Ministers, or-concede to the clamours of ambiti-
ous Demagogues, aizeiciOppositiOn on the other:
Seep a steady course,hke the great Luminary whose
Dame you base assumed. Support the measures
of Administration while they are likely to be be-
beficial to the State, but give no countenance to
Jobs, intended to lavish money on Relations and
epentients ; attend to the arguments of opPosi-
TiaN, but not to thelr asperities, and be assured
that there is virtue enough in the people at large,
to protect a Journal devoted to the real wel-
fare of the State. It was a happy thought
of your's to bold the London Mirror to the'Pro-
tinciai Journals, and reflect their sentiments, for
by this means you diffuse the principles of the-
-I'ublic Writers throughout the Empire. The
Conductors of those Papers. will be gratified in
knowing that their character is understood by
thf! Nation at -large, and the-Nation at large
must he gratified in finding that Loyal and
Constitutional Principles are diffused in all
_ •
parts through the medium of. a Artily PUBLIC
PRINT. The PATRONAGE of the PEOPLE will
far of much greater -importance, to a real Pus-
ite Putsri., than any favours that Ministers
could bestow. Nay Ministers themselves will
respect such a national, public-spirited, and inde-
pendent Jotuhal. Able Writers will enlist in
your cause, and other Countries will he anxious
to know the opinions of a Joutoal that stands
*OM Party on either side,as well as all petty
interests, and makes the welfare and honour of
the Empire its ruling principles of action.

PUBLIUS.

The Nobility and Gentry of all parties, of the
County of Tipperary, have intimated their intent-
thow of presenting an Address of Condolence to the
ParNcE REGENT, on the late melancholy catas-
trophe. . A County Meeting will beheld at Kil-
inainham, on Monday next, for a similar purpose.
In the last Galway Chronicle, we_find the follow-
ing paragraph on 'the same subject :—We under-
stand it is in contemplation immediately' to con-
vene this County- for the purpose of voting Ad-
dresses of Condolence to his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, and his Serene Highness the Prince
Leopold of Saxe Cobourg, on the late melancholy
calamity which has plunged not only these Illus-
trious Personages, but the entire British Nation
into the deepest affliction."—A Requisition has
.been presented to the Mayor of Limerick, and .he
has called a Meeting for this day.--'J he• Common •
Council of Waterford have already assembled, and
voted an Address. We presume every County and
City in Ireland will manifest .similar feeling on the
'afflicting occasion.
- The Freeholders of Kincardinshire have voted
Addresses of Condolence to the Prince Regent and
Prince Leopold, And the Merchants' House, Glas-
sow, have also voted an Address to the Prince
Regcnt,
The 'Magistrates and Council, and the Guildry
IttrorpOration of Dundee, have voted Addresses of
Condolence to the Prince Regent and Prince Leo-
pold.
At a meeting of the Royal Grand Conclave of
:the Knights Templar of Scotland, for the election
of the grand office-bearers on the 25th curt, a
dutiful and loyal address of condolence was unani-
mously' voted to his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent on the late melancholy dispensation of
PrOvidence.

We feel pleasure in publishing -the following
Letter, as transmitted to us, in codfii'mation of
a paragraph which appeared in our Paper, re-
lative to the cure of that general and dangerous
,
complaint, Ropt tire. •
Sir,—Observing a paragraph in your Paper respecting the
wre 01 an Hernia, performed (of a large size) by the Medical
ard, at Charlotte-House, Great Charlotte-street, Black-
friars-road, in justice, Sir, to Messrs. COOPER and Co. I_ beg
to mid n 4 personal testimony. Hariug been afflicted neat
. twenty ',ears, and deemed incurable by eminent Surgeons, I
}Patiently bore•my affliction, expecting every boor to he my
last ; I at length applied to the Medical Board, And have rea-
son to pray for that excellent Establishment, for although
am near 50, I was perfectly cured ilia few weeks, and now,
thank 66d, enjoy good health.
• 1 think, Mr. Editor, all who know me will allow that I can
have no other motive far this communication than a public
' benefit. 1 am, Sir;your obedient Servant, •
C. CLEVELAND,
