TO THE PUBLIC.

Mr. TAYLOR, the Peorateron of THE SUN
Newsearen, being desirous of lessening the La-
tepur mid Solicitude attending thu Conduct of a
Daily Print, is willing to part with a portion of
it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources,
IA hose Political Principles correspoed with those
which the Paper has always supported, and who
would be inclined to co-opet ate in Manage.
Inert as well as Literary Comoosition. He north'
rather at once dispose of the whole concern, if
he did not venture to conceive that the steadiness
of his Political Character has excited the confi-
de nce of his Reader's, and that his long experi-
eece may reasonably be supposed to attach some
redit to his competency in tie conduct of a
Politic Journal. Ile conceives also, that in these
Het tut and threatening times every Public Mau
should remain at his post, in order to contribute,
to the utmost of his "power, towards the defence
of our inestimable Constitutiou. Several lo-
dividuals have offered to pnrChase the Paper;
but as it was founded tinder the immediate stinc•
tion of the hate 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 Principles which
are most conducive to the security of the State
and the happiness of the People.* Hence tile Ad-
mirers of that enlightened Minister and true Pa- ,
trios may think that a .Paper instituted by him,
and for such important objects, should be offered
to some public spirited Body, actuated by higher
considerations than mere regard to pet:tortes y ad-
vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel-
fare Of at least to any other whose interests may
be essentially united with Hie inteiest of the Couti•
try. To such Persons the Proprietor w,,tild most
willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and,
however anxious he may he for repose, after many
years of toil and solicitude, fie would readily act
as their Agent so long as his soperintendance
might be regaired. It cannot be necessary to
on the high reputation which Toe SUN
has so long possessed, in consequeoce of (tie
Jonieviatiog consisteocy of its Political Character,
and the uniform propriety of its general Conduct.
TO support a Government acting on the system
of Air. PITT is the main principle by which the
Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad-
herence 10 that system can it maintain its charac-
ter. 1r is obvious, however, that a steady attach-
meta -to a System which comprehends the safety
of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser-
vile concurrence in the Measures of any Admini-
stratiou. But while 'fins 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
indifference to the fate of such a Paper, on the
part of d PITT ADNINISTRATIoN, Would be a sole-
cism, as well as a rept oach, which it is not likely
to incur. With not less confidence may the
Paper rely on the protection of the Pao.
T,,STANT CHURCH, as it has SO streuttoasly sup-
ported it that it is supposed to be peculiarly
pa.ronized by it-ta CLERGY ; amour WllOlll
it certainly can boast of many valuable Cor-
respondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be
well cpndified, by abilities and knowledge, to iu-
stroct the Community at large, and, in these
times, should consider that they have duties
to tolfil as Citizens as well as Pastors, they
might very properly. possess themselves of a
Paper which would not only enable them to
spt ead right principles in general, but also
to (Ileck those liceirliorti and ißipiouS doctrines -
which ale 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 THE SUN owes its
origin, am! from whore they derive their appella-
tioti. ANNUAL CELEEttATIoNS Of a BIRTH-DAY
are of little use, and must fall into languor nod
decay, unless effective means are taken to diffuse
and support the Principles upon which those I
Associations are professedly established. THE
SUN may also expect the support of the REGULAR
SOLICITORS throughout the Kingdom, as that

The Proprietor has lieen de,ired, hy a Gentleman of rank,
who was in the confidence of Mr. PurT at the time, to state
that THE SUN Newspaper was not instituted for the mere
support of Ins Own Adininistim ion, but " for the PnolEcrtoN
