TO THE PUBLIC.

As THB SUN IlaS now maintained its neatly
course for upwards of a quarter of a Century, and
ltas ueiformly supported those principles on which
it was orOnally founded, under the immediate
auspices of that illustrious Statesman, WILLIAM
VITT, the Proprietor is exempted from the nt-
cessi,y of offering .(riy profession of his principles.
They are founded upon the system established by
that wise and virtuous Minister, and have been
so ac rennously adopted and supported by the pre-
sent Administration, that thy glorious result
has been the security of the British Empire,
and the deliverance of 'Europe.—As long as THe
so,, belongs to the present Proprietor, it will be
animated by the same piinciples,, and, firmly !dy-
ing oil the sagacity of the pt esent Administra-
tion, he will. give them his zcalotes support in all
measures that are intended fur. the Wriest and
honour of the Country. Thev have eficeted an
honourable Pe.ice, which has procured the tran-
quillity of Europe ; and they are nowendeavour-
ingwith equal zeal to relieve the people from the
prebsure of those difficulties•which a long ,and
expensive War unavoidably produced. We hearti-
ly wish them success, and shall be proud: and
happy in being in any resisect instrumental to
the attainment of so desirable an object.—To re-
turn to our own determined condm.t. We shall
resokte ly support the ORTHODOX. CHURCH, and
resist to (lie numb-4 the claims of POPERY to any
r-irt icipat ion of Political Power, convinced that in
the free exercise of their religious faith, they posess
all the power that can be extended to diem with
,security to the Protest ant Establishment. We shall
open our columns to the discussion of those mea-
sures which may tend to secure THE LAW to its re-
gular Pt actitionerS, and to exclude all discreditable
Intruders from a Profession on which the interest
and happiness of the People essentially depend.—
THE SUN has, therefore, a right to expect the sup-

port and encouragement (-Attie GoVERNMENT, THE
Law, and of every PITT CLUB flit oughont the
United Kingdom, for of he: wise, the tcr will have
no just pretensions to the title which they assume,

Taorocts so acceptable to our Country Friends, that
we shall make those departments permanent fea-

ments, and opinions of the respectiie Journals,
which may be reasonably supposed to express
those of their Readers and Supporters, we may

nicle of the Times."
We now heartily congratulate the Country on
the opening a New Year, which, we sincerely
hope, will equally abound in domestic blessings,
anti all the strength and glory of National Cita.

ture to boast of the number and the value of our
Correspondents, who, in point. of knowledge and
ability, are, perhaps, hardly to be rivalled in any
other Journal.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS` OF THIS DAT.

[Morning Chronicle.]

Many of the Papers will still have it that Lord
Cochrane is arrived at Venezuela. Nothing can
he more ridiculous. Though the name of the
Officer who has arrived in that quarter begins
with a C, be is not Lord Cochran.; however, it
is expected he will give the Spaniards as much to
do in Venez►►ela as his Lordship soon will on the
coasts of Peru.

PARIS. Dec. 28 --Nothing certain is yet known
of the composition of ti►e new Ministry. All that
we know is, that it will not remain as it is at, pre-
sent. Since M. de Cazcs has found that the
Duke of Richelieu has not succeeded in forming
a Ministry, he has made. efforts, seconded by
friends, to retain his influence. The fear of hay-
ing an Ultra-Royalist Ministry increases the nnnt•
ber of his supporters, both in the Chamber of De•
puties and among the public. Every thing favours
the supposition that be will finally carry the
day, and that M. Laint, and perhaps likewise the
Duke of Richelieu, will be forced to retire, al-
t norigh M. "de Cazes appears desirous of showing
the latter great ettentinti. Late events have
given great distress of mind to the Duke of Riche-

lieu, awl cotriributeil:to increase the sotlaen
ill-
ness with which be has been seized. The eit10237
pronnenceo try,lllT . Constant -on Sir S. Romilly
was attended with the most complete success ; at-
though, from party spirit, attacked in the Journal

Accounts from Pernambuco state,. that a con-
scription had been levied on ail the country people,
for the purpose of manning their forts, filling up
their military ranks, and completing the crews of
the Government vessels. The cpast twin Buenos
Ayres to Pernambuco; Rio, and Bahia, swarmed
with privateers, who paid little or no respect to
any flog. Several American citizens. at Pernam-
buco had received the greatest insulti, and have
been designated by degrading epithets from those
pirates. There: was a report at Buenos-Ayres,
►hat the Spaniards were collecting a new army in
Peru to re:invade Chili. General San Martin was
sick at /Mendoza, anti it was said it would be some
