We, the undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Traders, and
others of Loudon. deem it our imperious duty at this juncture
to declare these our deliberate.sentiments
- We view with althorn nee the machinations of factious and
designing men, who, availing themselves of blasphemous
• imblical ions to cap the fondeatioirs of religion, 4.;a of inflam-
matory wrii tugs and harangues t(i sow sedition and treason,
talc advantage of the present distresses to impose upon the
minds of the uninformed, :Ind under various pretexts to lead
them into ineasures.which would increase these distresses in
an incalculable degree, by their manifest tendency to anarchy
and confusion.

We have witnessed the existing privations and sufferings
of certain classes of our fellow-subjects with feelings of the
deepest concern ; it is our Lope and be'ief that these distres-
ses will only prone of a temporary nature, and during their
continuance it will he our anxious wish to promote every mea-
sure that can tend to alleviate i hem.
While we cherish these sentiments of unfeigned commisera•
tion, we declare it to he our (inn plrpose to resist, to the ut-
most of our power, all torhalent attempts to overawe the
Constituted Authorities, in full relianee nu the eilicley of
the Laws, the pu:ity of their administration,. and tile wisdom
of the Legislat•Je. (Si goed)

expectation of his reply, I suspend my ar-
gument. But, being rather itupaCent for its
practical application, and its'entorcemenr, 1 must
way him to make no very long delay. His en-
gge•nents are private, mine are public. The.
Itetormets grow too saucy for my longer indal-
,
Bence, or for that of the Law.

I should have li4lf suspected " PRoPostrr " of
" Tetisx," had not our docttines teen
somewhat too vaii.int for a partnership in iiio-
itacv.'s stanza. Besides, for aught I knew, he had
previously illustrated your columns under the
tante signature. But I. stand corrected.

TEN,

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR.--I ant pleased to find that the Old.,
ant Coroner baa at least found an instructor in iris

y. lie should loive known t)ie mischief of letti

any pragmatical i►►truder brawl and bustle in I►is
court at such a rate, or he was not competent to

S functions.

If that busy Attorney had been professionally
retained by the friends of the deceased Reformer,
he should have kept within the tether or his pro..
fession. When he stept beyond that, he became
but a private individtod, without the shadow of a
right to open his lips. But it is not an Attorney's
business to direct and contronl the Coui tin which

be practices; and when lie attempts such a pre-
sumption, he ought to he silenced, and made to
sit down ; if he presses, be should be turned into
the street; and, if he still perseveres, into the
dock. Civility is out of the questiou with these
pertinacious people.

Will any body tell me, that Mr. Attorney
Har-
mer haunts the Coronet's Cow at Oldham as

a mere Attorney ?

Or, iliat Mr. Coroner FERRAND slims a proper
respect for his office aml for himself in bantlyiog

im either conipflments or arguments ?

Sir, I cannot admit the excnse,which you make
for this accommodating Coroner. It is time
enough to give a Reformer his " full swing"
after trial; when I pray God the whole gang may
have it in perfection. But upon your principle,
Mr. HARMER may " swing" it away before the
Chief Justice of the King's Bench, as despotically
as he is allowed it before, or rather over the Co-
roner of Oldham.

"They order these things better in France."
An Englishman the other day, and in his own
cause too, was handed into the street by the Crier
of the Parisian Court, for about the hundredth
part of Air. HARMER'S pertinacity.

TO THE EDITOR.
SIR—I have read with ar,ention some remarks
upon my intended•iFpar nre for America, contain.
ed in your Paper of the 26'h. But while I thank
you for the liberal mauner in which you have there
spoken of me, I must beg leave to add, that I
should esteem myself unworthy of the encomiums
you have passed upon my character, both as an
actor and a man, could I persevere in ohm intena
don, after having learned through you, that the
public were-dissatisfied with it. The Public have
beer) tome the must liberal Masters, and the kindest
Patrons. ll.should he ungrateful indeed, if I could
ever forget the many marks of approbation I
base received at their hands. That approbation
has always beets numbered among my fondest
remembrances, 810 is to me the highest reword of
my professional endeavours. No man can leave
his native country, even for a time, without re-
gret ; but cherished as 1 have been in England,
since my first appearance upon the hoards of Drury.
Lane, that regret has been deepened in.o anguish.
He must be more or less than man, who, circuit,-
etanced like me„.,could, without pain, cootetuplate
rise prospeci, that 11;dt the Globe would soon se-
parate him from a Public, before whom he never
apoeared that he was n,it received vv;.h acclarmia
Hon, nor from whose presence did he ever retire
wizhout the burnhle consciousness t h his highest
etforts were tar exceeded by the applatise hod ad.
miration they elicited, My present determination
to return, therefore, is not tthlccoutp,anicd with
pleasure. Indeed, this is too weak a word to ex-
press the &lighttul satisfaction I t•el, in giving
this unequivocal testimony of my respect and
gratitode to the enlightened and liberal audi.
ences, before whom I have appeared in every
part of the United Kingdton ; tint chiefly to
that audience, whose approbation first raised
rise to that rank in my' profession I now hold.
Witli the London audience is associated every
fee!ing of pride I may be allowed to indulge, and
sii;l to merit their approval must be the highest
cOject of my ambition. It is in furtherance of
this object that I beg leave to solicit your atten-
tion to the following brief statement of those yea.

priety of Ivitbdrawing myself from Drury-lane for
a short lima. For ihe last Iwo years my situation
at the T4.eatre has been li4:hly em`aarrassing.
have been cansidered responsible for circioustauces
over which lls no tontroul, and even the Press
has attached blame to me for occurrences 1 could
neither foresee nor avoid. It would be, perhaps,
indelicate for me to enter into particulars ; but
you, Sir, seem Om self to be aware, that 1 have
been an innocent sufferer upon ()cessions when I
should have been held blameless. When the
Theatre fell into the hands of Mr. ausrosr,
I unties stood that be had made such at range.

of such risk and importance, by returning

powerfully operating on my tulip' as an induce.
went to anhdraw myself for a period, 1 thought
it would be equally advantageous both to Mr.
&LISTON avid mvseli, to take upon me ti a respona
Wittily of breaking with him. limier tile c;rctoci-
stances, too, which had come ro my knowledge, I
thought that Mr-Ur-twos would !rims* crmsioer
the Thousand Pounds penalty, which I offered to
pay, a full equivalent for my service.;
,and I,
even now, doubt Whether ire would not prefer

nager oil the nights oil which I play, and 141i'
Mot itecessarily embarrass Mr. ELL t,rota it he
has not provided tor it. By another clause or my
articles, which I only mention by the way, since
I have a right to demand' their fulfilment to the
very lettar, to show that Mr. ams Tort cords! not
have contemplated my return, my name• must
still continue as large io the bills as the Commit--
lee first chose to adver.ise it. Should I insist upon
my tight in this point, Mr. ELLISTON will be
forced to break with an actor (in his tine) of the
first importance in his profession —I mean Mr;
DowTota, who has in his articles, 1 to,d. rvand,
stipulated that my name should be advertised I ke
orl tit's. This matter, though a trifle in appear.
slice, most lead to the question, whether 1 am
to yield to Mr. DOWTON, ar Mr. DowroN to
ine. Now, Mr. ELLISTON has provided against
the alternative, had not my submission to
public opinion obliged me to forego my first
intention of 'tilting ti! America. He has en-
gaged Mr. VataneNtroay, or Liverpool, an Actor
of the first to:.ecr.lLe., and a Gentleman whose
nigh talents deserve the first place, and whom it
would be therefore degrading to make secondary
to any one. This Geolleman's walk in the Mania
is the same as my own, soil he has establisheda
high reptoation by hit performance of Brutus, Sir
Giles Overreach, Sir Edward Mortimer, and all
those characters in which I have been in any way
distinguished.
What place then is there for me at, this house ?
I still cannot help thinking, that to svirlidiaw for
a time 'would he only fair towards my compeers,
and an advantage to Mr. ELLISTON. But since
the public voice demands toy return, I shall obey
it, as I have always done, and obey it cheerfully.
Nor shall I be wanting in curry exertion to de-
serve that approbation which they have hithert'a
so liberally Recorded to my poor endeavours. E.
gaged as lam, I scarcely know that I have %%-tit.
