TO THE PUBLIC.

Mr. TAYLOR, the PROPRIETOR of THE SUN
NEWSPAPER, being desirous of lessening the Lia•
beur and Solicitude attending the Conduct of a
Deily Print, is willing to part with a portion ot
it to any Gentlemen of Talents and Resources,
whose Politicel Principles correspoed with those
which the Paper has always supported, and who
'would be, inclined to. ce•operete in Manage-
meet as well as Literary Composition. Ile would.
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-
dence of his Readers, and that his long expel-j-
-et:et. may reasonably be supposed to attach Some
-credit to his competency in the conduct ot
Public Journal. He conceives also, that in these
a whit and threatening times every Public Man
should terrain at his pest, in order to contiihete,
to the utmost Of his power, towards the defence
of our inestimable Constitution. Several In-
dividuals have otf-ted to purchase the Paper;
.but as it was founded under the immediate sane.
lion of the Lite Mr. PITT, the Proprietor deems
it his dirty to consider it as a Poleical Legacy
left by that Illustrious Statesman to his Comory,
to 'le.:entail% and perpetuate those Principles which
ate tuns( conducive to the sectoity of the State
and the happiness of the People.* fleece the Ad-
mirers of that enlightened Nlittistee and true Pa-
triot may think that a Pittner instituted by him,
and for such important objects, should be ()fret-eel
to some public spirited Body, actuated by hip4iter
considerations than mere legerd to pecuniary ad-
vantages, and animated by zeal for the general wel-
fare ; or at least to Hey other whose interests may
be essentially United with the interest of the Coun-
tiy. sued Pet tons the Ptoprietor would most
willingly dispose of the entire concern ; and,
however anxious he may he fur repose, at-ter maey
).curs of toil and solicitude, he would' readily act
as their Agent so 101)!Z as his sseperintendanee
jnie ht be required. It cantor ' he necessary to
dtvell of, the high reputation which THE SUN
las so long possessed, in consequence of the
nedeviating consktency of its Political Chargeter,
end the tenter:it propriety of its eenerel Couduct.
To support a .Government acting on the system
Of \lr PitT is the main principle by which the
Paper has been directed, and only by a firm ad-
herence to that sys;em can it maintain its charac-
ter. It is obvious, however, that a steady attach-
ment to a System which comprehends the safety
of the Constitution, by no means implies a ser-
vile coecurrence in the Measures of any Admini-
stration. But while THE SUN perseveres in the
same direct course, it may reasonably expect the
support. of the present Government, on account of
irs Political Principles, and the reverence dire to
the memory of its Illustrious Foniedet, sieve an
indifference to the tete such a Paper, on the
part of a PITT ADMINISTRATION, Wool,l be a sole-
as well as e reproach, which it is no likely
to ineur. With net less confidence may the
Paper rely on the protection of the Pito -
TeST ANT CHURCH, as it has so strenturesly sap-
ported it alit iris supposed to be peculiarly
patronized- by Joe CLaRGY ; among whom
it certaielye can boast of many valuable Cor-
re,pondents. Indeed, as THE CLERGY must be
well qualified, by ebilities and knowledge, to in-
sr, net the Community at large, and, in these
times, should consider that they have duties
to fulfil as Citizens as well its Pastors, they
reieht very properly possess themselves of a
Paper which would not only -enable them- to
Ent ead rieht principles is general, but also
to check those licentious and impious doctrines
which ate daringly inculcated with malignant
assiduity, and-are manifestly intended to destroy
the Relieinn and the Government of the Conn-
try. Toe Proprietor may confidently expect tine
support of the PITT CLUES throughout the British
Empire, considering to whom THE SUN owes its
origin, and from whom they derive their appella-

decay, 'Hess effective means ,are taken to diffuse
and support the Principles upon which those
Association, are professedly established. 'lnc
SUN may alio expect the support of the REGULAR
SotaClTeas 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 irregelar Practitioners
and discreditable intruders. Finally, THE SUN
may look to the PEOPLE AT LARGE for patronage
and enenuragement on account of the steadiness
of its Principles, its Public Spirit, and its reso-
bite endeavours, cm all occasions, to promote the
Honour and interest of the' Country. Such, then,
is the Opportunity which the Proprietor now
offers to his Ceentrymen ; and as it presents A
P,T TO PUBLIC VIRTUE, and to GENUINE PA.

ractei if he were not to suppose that among the
