Mr. TAYLOR, I,te I'ROPRIETOR of Tli6 Suit
Ne:‘,4aerEri; being desirous of lessening the La-
buAr and Solicitoile attending the Con-beet of a
Daily nint, is willing to part with at portion of
it to any Clewfenel) of Toilettes and !resources,
whoSe Political PlinCiples eorresniaed with tho Set
which the Paper hai always supported, and
would be ioelined to co•opoo -or in Manage-
client as well as Literary Comp-Sitioo. He would
rather at ouce dispoSe Of the %rtoole concern, if
he did not venture to conCeive that the steadiness
of his Political Charatter has eiteited the confi-
dence. of his Readers; and that bis locg experi-
ence may reasonably be soppOsed to at, act some
credit to his competent y to the 'conduct of a
PUbliC Journal. He conct ives also, that in these
awful and threatening, times evyly Public Mart
should remain at his post, in order to contribute,
to the utmost of his power, cowards the defence
Of our inestitnrible Constitution. SeVelel In-
dividuals !Jaffe offered to pniichase the Paper;
but as it ,was foonded under the immediate sanc-
tion of the lale Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems
it his ditty to consider it as a Political Legacy
left by that illustrious Statesthan to his Conoco y,
to maintain and perpetuate those Principles which
ale most conducive to the security of the State
and the happiness of the People.* Hence the Ad•
mirers of thst enligiitehed Minister and ,Vi,e Pa-
triot may think that a Paper instituted by hint,
and for such impor:ant objects, should be offered
to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher
considerations than mere regard to pecuniary ad..
Vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel-
fare ; or at leas! to any other whose interests may
be essentially united with the juiciest of the Coun•
icy. To such PerJons the Proprietor would most
willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and,
however anxious he may he for repose, after !flatly
years of toil and solicitude, he would readily act
as their Agent so long as his soperintendanea
might be required. It cannot be necessary to
dwell on the high reputation which Liu Suty
has so long possessed, in consequence of the ,
undeviating consistency of its Political Character,
and the uniform propriety of its geheral Conduct.
To support a Government acting on the system
of Alt . PITT is the main principle by ss hich the
Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad-
herence to that system can it maintain its charac-
ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach-
ment to a System which comprehends the salety
of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser-
vile concurrence in the Measures of any Almini-
stration. But while Tae 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 teverence due to
the memory of its Illustrious Founder, since art
indifference to the fate of such a Paper, 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 Pao-
TESTANT CHURCH, as it has so strenuously sop-
potted it that it is supposed to be peculiarly
pwronized by I'oe CLERGY ; among whom
it certainly can boast of many valuable Cor-
respondents. Indeed, as THE CLFRGY must he
Weil qualified, by abilities and knowledge, to in-
struct the Community at large, and, in these
times, should consider that they have duties
to fulfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they
might very properly posses themselves of a
Paper which would not only enable them to
spread right principles in general, but also
to check those licentious and impious doctrines
which ale daringly inculcatedk 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 Trr c SUN owes its
origin, and from whom they derive their appeila-
inn. ANNUAL CRLCBRATIoNs of a BIRTH•DAY

re of little use, and must tall into languor and
decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse
and support the Principles upon which those
Associations are professedly established. 'l•rta
SUN may alio expect tile support of the REGI•LAIL
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 Practitiovers
and discreditable Intruders. Finaliy, Ti F. Sur(
may look 40 the PEOPLE AT LARGE for patronage
and encouragement on account of the steodiness
of its Principles, its Pobl!c Spirit, and its reso-
lute endeavours, on all occasions, to prootwe the
Honour and Interest of the Country. Such, then,
is the Opport unity which the Proprietor now
offers to his Countrymen; and as it presents A
'I•ttST TO PUBLIC VIRTUE, and to GVNUINR
PA-
TRIttTISM, he should insult the National Cha-
racter it he were not to suppose that nntonK the
admirers of Mr. PITT, and Friends of Ina CON-
STITUTION, many wise, independent, disinterested,
magnanimous BurroNs will he found ready, at
this awful crisis, to 'mite in order to become Pro-
prietors of a Paper which so obviously p►tssesses
peculiar and prominent claims to National Pro-
tection.—None but Principals need apply in

N. B. This Address will be con.iiitted tii! the
opportunity which it presents has been fully sub•
mit ted to the United Kingd,,m ; nor will the
Proprietor hastily close with any offer, as he can-
not but conceive that, in reference to the revered
Founder of the Paper, and its established elosrec-
ter for political consistency, the Proposal held
forth tends to ascertain the extent of Public
