GRA'MPOUND.

MR. Enrroa—lt is not sot prising, from the
principles avowed by your Correspondent TENAX,
in his several communications to 'I
HE SUN, that
he should be an enemy to a Reform in Parlia-
ment, however glaring the defects, and however
great the incongruti►y of the present- system.
U.SI objection to amend and how ove the Laws
which I elette to Elections, justifies the conclusion
of two or three of your former Correspondents,
that he belongs to the flight Tory School, and it
will not surprise your Renders if he were even !o
go to thelengthofadvocatingtheexplotted doctrine
of passive obedience and non-resistance. IVhete
this Writer has been for many years I know
lot, Ile cannot, however, have mixed much
with the People at large ; his intercourse must
have beet► wholly with PEHRoGATIVE-MEN, who
do not possess the TACT of feeling for the Rights
and Liberties of the People, otherwise he would
have seen the great change which has taken
place in the middle and lower ranks of Society;
their advancement in knowledge, the increase
of their property, and the feelings naturally ex-
cited in them, by their exclusion limn the enjoy-
ment of the political Rights possessed by many of
their fellow-subjects.
I. approve of the opposition of TaNAX to the
admission of Papists to the possession of Political
Power, but I do not feel any pleasure in the per-
msl of his too fruition intolerable attacks on the
Dissenters. It neither evinces judgment, or the
Possession of that Christian charity and forbear-
ance which should be shewn to all mankind,
especially to those who, fur conscience's sake,
may differ from hint in their religious dews and
notions.

I have been led into these observations from
the SPIRIT which pervades the writings of this
Correspondent of yours. I must now direct
your attention to his want of accuracy on the
subject of Grampounti. He states the Right of
Election for that place to be " in the Borough
and not in the Burgesses ;" what he means by thii
distinction is not very apparent ; except lie con-
ceives the right to he in the Ownets of But gage
Tenure, or Freehold Houses and Lands in Gram-
pontul. A little trouble and research would have
shewn TENAX the Right of Election in
Grampound is in " the M.iyor, Recorder, anti
Ilinhabilantspaying Scot and Lot," and that it is
not a Properly Borough, as the rotten and close
Boroughs have frequently been called. If TENAX
should persevere in opposing all moderate,rat ional,
and gradual Reform, because " the concession
will be used by the Radicals as an engine for ob-
taining something beyond," I shall trouble you
with another communication on the subject.
In the interim, 1 trust you will insert this article
in to-morrow's SUN, that the question as to
Grampound may not be prejudiced by even inad-
vertent misrepresentation ; for, as the right of
voting there ii in the resitleut Inhabiiants paying
Scot and Lot, and not in the .Owners of the
Houses and Lands, the whole of Ttnax`s argu-
ment is inapplicable to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Bill,
which I hope will ultimately receive the sanction
of the Legislature.
This Letter is written hastily, in the under-
mentioned Cotree-House, after a perusal of your
Paper, which is regularly taken in there.

A Tail without a Pig !—On Thursday se't►night
a botcher at Lyme Regis. having ki{lefl
one of
the gruntiog gentry, the weight of which was
about twelve score, he dressed it and hung
it in his killing-house in readiness for the
mat ket on the following day. Eatly in the
morning he went into the house for the purr”e of
cutting it up ; but it appeared that some of the
animal's relatives had been there betme hits—n►,t
for the purpose of mom-clog over the dead body,
but, (impious rogues tl to feast ; for these in-
truders (the pigs) had absolutely devoured the
whole carcass of their slaughteted brother, leaving
only the tail behind.—(Sherburne Paper.)

The Paris Papers of Saturday lest, which were
due thi; morning, have not arrived.

Our Readers will perceive that we have re-pub-
lished the CAUTION which appeared in our riper
of yesterday;: and the information which we have
received, and which we deem of a very import-
ant nature, will induce us to repeat the inset tii,n
through the remainder of the week. The designs
of the infamous miscreants who are attempting
to subvert the Government of the cotultry.
to involve us all in a common ruin, are deeper
and more. widely extended than it is possible for
good men to conceive. They have been rendered
desperate by the measures which Ministers havg
adopted for the security of the Country, arid we
have reason to believe that, no:withstanding
the irritation and revengeful spit it by which
(hey are agitated, they have dark and deep
plots on foot, by which they hope to create
confusion during the approaching season of festi•
vity. We therefore deem it an essefflial ditty
on our part to give due and repeated warn-
ing to the People to be upon their guard, lest,
at a time of harmless menirnent, they might
fall a sacrifice to wretches who care not what
horrors they may occasion, provided that they
have a chance of rising into that power which
would soon lead to the destruction of themselves
as well as of their Country.

There WAS a spirited Debate last night in the
House of Commons, on the suhject of the News-
papers' Stamp Duties Bill, but the Ministers had
a triumphant Majority of 222 to 76. We confess
that, attached as we are to Ministers, on ac-
count of the important services whirl, they
have rendered to all Europe, as well as in sup-
porting the honour of this Country, there are,
in our opinion, many points in this Dill to which
we should firmly and vehemently object, if we
did not consider the Empire to be really in
danger, and that the measure is intended to
be temporary. When there is Anil reason to
believe that the danger is really over, -we
shall he one of the most resolute advo-
cates for the repeal of an Act which cis cumstances
certainly Memand at this period, but which should
only be coeval with its necessity. The Freedom
of the Press is the PALLADIUM of all our rights
and pr4iirges, anti it is only when those tights
and privileges are in danger of being annihilated
by a wild Faction and a relentless Democracy that
the People of this Country should consent to any
restriction of that Liberty which their ancest,rs
becreatited to them ; except, as is the case at pre-
sent, when they are actually exposed to so tie-
mendous a peril.

that character last night, with such a (lia'

tribute which we offered to her on the 'previa,
occasion. Her Acrion was evidently dictated b'
feeling. There %yam no parade of elaborate gcs,'
hue, but all seemed to tesult from a strong
pressiun of the general qualities of the charge°,
which she assumed, and the t.it oations in
she is successively involved. She was much oVi
planded. -We repeat onr.opinion that the pelt ‘l,
